~~~~~~~~~Your POV~~~~~~~~~

I was taken back by fear, my back now pressed against a tree as my eyes widened in shock and my blood ran cold.

This unfamiliar man had just appeared in front of me, and I had no words to express myself.

I was scared, I knew that. I was shocked, surprised, and too freaked out to react.

His eyes shifted over to me, and I felt a chill run down my spine. I couldn't speak or move, I was to afraid to do anything. How could he just spawn out of nowhere?!?

A smirk grew along his face. "So you're the one who freed me from this prison!" He began to walk over. I tried to stand up, speak, or just look away. Anything! But my body refused to move.

He kneeled down to my level, looking me straight in the eyes. "Well, aren't you cute." He reached a hand to me as if to touch my face, and it was at this moment that I was finally able to move.

"S-STAY BACK!!!" I screamed as my leg rose up with speed, harshly kicking his chin and sending him back with a pained yell.

He gripped his chin where blood had started to ooze from. "This pain is NOT hilarious!!!"

I began to run as fast as my legs could take me.

Without stopped for anything, I ran and ran and ran. After some time, I grew tired. Convinced this man hadn't chased after me, I stopped to catch my breath. I leaned against a tree as I panted for air, looking around for any sign of him.

I let out a sigh of relief when I saw I was alone and grabbed my phone.

Two bars.

I went into my contacts and scrolled down, calling Dipper. However, my hope died when I heard his voicemail. And Mabel's phone didn't even ring.

I groaned in frustration. How the hell was I suppose to get home?!?

"I can help."

I screamed at the sudden voice and tightened my hand into a fist, launching a punch at whatever talked.

Something tightly gripped my wrist, stopping my arm. "Now now, this isn't the greeting I asked for."

"L-let me go!!!" I yelled as I tried to struggle from his grip.

He rolled his eyes. "There's no need for violence, kid. Just calm down, and I'll let you go."

I glared at him, but he wasn't amused. I stayed silent for a few seconds before taking a deep breath, calming down a bit.

He did as told and let me go. "Now, an apology for kicking me would be nice." He said with a small shrug.

"Apology?!? You just appeared out of nowhere!!! Who even are you?!?" I replied, trying my best not punch him.

He raised an eyebrow before laughing, but I just let out a growl, making him look back up at me. "Oh, you're being serious?"

He waited a few seconds to see if I reacted in any other way. "Bill? Bill Cipher?"

"Who?"

"Crazy dream demon that tried to take over Gravity Falls?" He said as if I was suppose to know him.

I let out an awkward chuckle. "Well, crazy is right."

"You really don't know who I am?" He asked, tilting his head.

I shook my head in reply. "Huh." was what he answered with. Soon after, he took his hat and bowed. "Then allow me to properly introduce myself: my name is Bill Cipher, dream demon who controls the mindscape."

"What you are is insane!!!" I said as I backed away. A demon?!? Yeah, right!!!

But I didn't expect his reply to my sentence. He smirked at me while giving a small shrug. "Of course I am, what's your point?"

I took a deep breath, trying once more to calm myself down. "Look, Billy-"

"It's Bill." he interrupted a bit annoyed.

"Bill, I don't know who you are or where you came from or what you're doing here, but I need to get home." I said as I began to speed walk away.

But I was stopped as a golden mist formed in front of me, making me let out a small gasp. From the mist appeared the guy again. "There's a problem with that."

I looked around in shock. "What the-?!? How the hell did you-?!?"

"I told you, I'm a demon. I can do lots of things you puny mortals can only dream of." A cocky grin grew on his face.

Ok, this was getting too weird. "Can you just leave me alone?!?"

"I can't." He answered, a serious expression on his face. "The thing is: you set me free from my prison. So now I serve you."

"Serve me?!? What's that suppose to mean?!?"

"It means I now belong to you. Think of it as a pet. You keep me around for reasons." He explained.

I attempted to walk away once more. "I don't need this, I'm perfectly fine without some 'golden demon' following me everywhere!!!"

"Unfortunately, it's not my choice. See that mark?" He pointed at my wrist where a symbol of a triangle was now tattooed.

I looked at him. "How do I take it off?!?"

"You can't. Believe me, if I could just fly away and never see you again, I would." He answered.

I guess he really is a demon...

"You can't come with me, how am I suppose to explain to my family some random stranger that now has to stay with me?!?"

"Oh, you mean Pinetree, Shooting Star, Fez Hat, and Sixer?" He asked, floating upside down.

I shook my head in confusion. "Who?!?"

He floated over. "You're (y/n) (m/n) Pines, right? Mason and Mabel Pines' older sister?"

"H-how'd you-?!?"

"Oh, I know lots of things." All of the areas that were once a yellow gold turned bright red, his voice turning deep and demonic. "lOtS oF tHinGs...!!!"

I gulped as I backed away, tripping on a branch and falling back.

He chuckled as he turned back to yellow. "Sorry, I tend to do that a lot." He offered a hand to me to help me stand up. I, however, just pushed it away and stood up.

I let out a sigh. "Ok, fine. You're a demon and because of some code you now have to serve me. What am I suppose to do?"

"Why don't we take you home first?" He said before snapping his fingers. My vision became blurry and I was forced to close my eyes, fear starting to take over me once more.

However, not long after, I felt a familiar fabric under me. I opened my eyes to see myself on the bed in the shack's attic. "How- What- Why-?!?"

"Teleportation." I heard Bill's voice echo before he appeared at the other side of the room. "Forgive me if I'm rusty, haven't used my powers in a while."

Before I could answer, I heard the door open, making me freeze. Dipper and Mabel came inside, and their eyes widened as soon as they saw me. "(Y/n)!!!" they both yelled in union before running over to me, hugging me tightly.

"Where did you go?!?" Dipper asked as he pulled away, Mabel following shortly after.

I thought about my answer. "I uh... I just went for a walk in the woods, that's all."

My gaze kept shifting to Bill from time to time. A smirk was on his face as he stared at us, making me shoot a glare. He floated over, and my blood turned cold.

However, the twins didn't react to him. In fact, they didn't even seem to notice him!

"Well, we're glad you're ok!" Mabel said. "Because we're gonna make lunch, and you better be there!"

I forced out a soft chuckle. "I will."

With that, they left. I looked at Bill who was sitting in midair while whistling some tune. I glared daggers at him, making him look at me. "... what."

"I need an explanation, and I need it now." I said, not removing my glare.

I floated over to me.

"Then buckle up, it's a long ride."
