Zero Falls: Season One

Little Problems-Part Two

This wasn't according to the plan.

Will stood in the center of the woods, with his friends accompanying him and chatting amongst themselves. He guessed it wasn't so bad, at least he wouldn't be alone if something dangerous attacked him.

"Ah, gotta love that fresh air," Mabel said, blissfully. She tried to emphasis her point, and inhaled deeply, only to accidentally swallow a falling leaf.

Dipper quickly ran to his sister's aid, as she rolled on the ground making choking noises. Bill stared at them, as Dipper patted her back, as Mabel coughed up the leaf.

"They don't go out that much, do they?" He asked, turning to Wendy.

She shrugged. "Wasn't that obvious?"

"Phew! I almost died," Mabel laughed, despite recently been choking on a single leaf.

Bill rolled his eyes, then turned his attention on Will. The blue haired boy regarded the blond curiously, as Bill walked over and stood beside him.

"So, find anything in that journal?" Bill asked.

"There's something in here about a squash with a face," Will suggested, pointing to one of the pages in the book.

The blond held his head back, and groaned loudly. "Yep, this is torture."

"It's a wonder why you came with," His brother chuckled.

Bill was silent for a while, looking down at his feet. He then spoke softly. "For one, I wanted to ask you about something."

Will regarded him. "What is it?"

"I know you were with Robbie, again."

Will's posture stiffened with fear, as Bill looked up and glared at him suspiciously. "Haha, you got me," He laughed, nervously. "I told you I was going to visit him often."

"Which is strange, considering you two have nothing in common," The blond noted. "So, is there another reason why you're visiting him?"

The blue haired boy fingered the helm of sweater. "Not any I can think of, no."

Bill squinted. "Admit it, you told him about your powers, didn't you?"

Will stared at him. "How--"

"I'm not an idiot," The blond snapped. "First, you discover that you have magical abilities. Now, you're sneaking off to visit possibly the only Guardian that doesn't recognize our past lives."

The blue haired boy. "OK, you got me. I asked Robbie if he could teach me about magic, but I didn't tell him that I was a Demon."

"Still, you broke your word," Bill reminded.

"Try to at least look in my perspective," Will argued. "Thanks to Robbie, I actually know how to use my powers, it's just the matter of making it stronger."

"And, we're here for that reason?"

He nodded. "Robbie said that Demons fuel their powers with magical artifacts, and I thought--"

"I see, you thought you could hide this from me," The blond muttered. "And what then? You learn how to do magic tricks, and get caught?"

Will narrowed his eyes. "Didn't you see what I did with Mason? Bill, I could accomplish great things, if I just--"

"You could also get killed!" Bill snapped, harshly, but careful not to raise his voice. "The Pine twins, Wendy, Gideon, every Guardian in this town, hate the Ciphers for what they done in the past. They could turn on us in a second."
