Bill's P.o.v

"Why did I EVER listen to her foolish lies?! Her gentle voice telling ME what to do! It's a embarrassment for demons anywhere!" I ranted, stomping with each movement.

I pace back and forth in the forest. It seemed just quiet and unjudgemental unlike that Shack. She was careless. Thinking about Kill instead of me! Why?! I mean, I knew she was.

"I mean she wanted to kill him. But, that would just be a excuse for her to see him again..right?" I stop and sigh.

"Why am I so weird around her? She makes me happy. She is much better than me. Maybe I'm jealous that..I can't be with someone who's better than me." I say softly, then lean on the tree, just looking up and thinking. I thought for a minute.

"She looked so happy with me. Although, I don't see myself being any different." 'She doesn't love me...she's not that brainless.' I repeat the thought. Over and over. Not exactly sure what emotion was replaying, but it hurt.

My voice rises quickly,"WHY?! Why do I have the urge to scream out loud and find her?! Why do I want to know this girl like she is my destiny?! Yell her name every single moment?! Feel the need to touch her and make sure she is OKAY?!" I question above into the sky.

It was the axolotl's fault for bringing me back.

For making these emotions, and for this pain and misery. I should've stayed dead.

"How could you do this to me?! This is all your fault! Not mine! It's never.." I hesitate softly.

"What is wrong with me?!...Why?.." I start loudly, but it turns to a hushed whimper. I felt weak. I felt alone. And that wasn't new. I was always alone, but after experiencing love, compassion, kindness..I missed it.

I hear slow clapping behind me. I turn to him and went backwards in frustration. It was Kill, smiling widely, holding his chin with his finger.

"Sad really. Blaming a pink lizard..thing. I mean, never really liked the guy. And your right. You should be so dead." He stated casually.

I narrow my eye behind him, lifting my hand as a giant rock began to levitate off the ground. Kill reacted just when I threw it. He turned quickly and stopped the rock, closing his fist as million little bits crumbled to the floor. I keep my ground. He just rolled his eye.

"I should be dead. I know I should have. But, I'm ALIVE. *laughs* And you know why?!" I cackled, my eyebrow going up. He stared in concentration.

"So I can kill you! It's in the name anyway! No one would miss you! Besides.." I start, feeling my hand engulfed in flames. Star- No, my enemy liked it. But, she is gone. I lost her..and she lost me.

"I don't care anymore." I state, charging at full speed at him. He fell back first into the ground. I pin him and tighten my grip.

"You ruined everything!" I yelled, as he winced. Just barely. His face wasn't pure terror at all. He was testing me.

I stop, but it was too late. He punched my face, causing me to hit the tree. It cracked in half. I pant, lightly laughing, as yellow blood started from my nose. Kill flies face first at me. I deflect his moves, throwing him far. He comes back, leaving much leaves and branch torns on his attire.

"How did I? I was merely here to cause your life a nightmare...but I guess you did that on your own." He called dully, snapping off a large branch.

I did the same. Both of us run fast at each other, dodging and hitting hard between the branches. Kill throws heavily, breaking mine in half. I go wide eyed, then recover. Plunging the branch at his side, he trips me, wrapping his hand around my neck. I choke loudly, using my hands to pull away. It's been too long since I've used my power. Years, months. I couldn't tell in the statue. Kill probably had trained for years to end me. Besides, he is older than me. It was a fight I couldn't have possibly won.

"And this is the last time you'll see me. I will never, ever see you again. You will starve, cry, and die over and over again until you break. Goodnight Bill." Kill enucidated closely to my face. I force harder, but it was useless. Kill pulled my hair to the side. I stare. I felt a snap. Then, I felt my heart stop.

Mabel's P.o.v

"Bill!!!! Bill!!! Where are you?! I'm sorry!" I yelled outside the Shack. I look to the side, where of course my brother was. He looked so worried, but maybe he worried about me.

"Mabel, you sure he is out there? Maybe you hallucinated him. You might be in shock or denial-" Dipper starts, then sighs.

"I messed up, Mabel. Maybe your right. So if there's just a small chance he is alive...I would apologize for what I said to him. "

I couldn't believe it. He wanted to apologize. To Bill?! We kept walking in sync, looking at each other. We went deeper into the woods, half looking once in a while.

"You really mean it. You really trust him?" I say, being a bit hopeful.

"Yeah Mabel. Trust me, he would do anything for you. And you would do the same. I'm not suprized. You two love each other." He said casually with a grin. I stare at him, and stop.

"I like him. We are good friends. I mean, he is weird in such a cute way, I love his smile..especially at me...and his laugh made my legs weak. I feel butterflies in my stomach around him and my face gets red...." I say, daydreaming.

Each time I could imagine it. The time he thought he wasn't perfect. He was. The time he couldn't do anything right. He did. Dipper looked at me daydream with a tight smile.

"You love him..don't you?" Dipper asked, grabbing my arm. I stop eruptly and make contact with watery eyes. He smiled.

"Mabel, if you love the guy, don't wait. You don't have to tell me a thing. You don't need to admit anything. I love you either way. We are siblings. And siblings stick together." Dipper says happily. I touch his arm and nod.

"Thanks Dip." I state softly. I turn away and frown in shame.

"I just wish he could forgive me." I whisper to myself, feeling a little more guilt than I wanted. Dipper continued walking in front of me, pushing past the bushes, trees, and leaves. Meanwhile, I walked faster. The faster we go, the faster we can search.

By the time the sunset went down, me and Dipper were called in by Grunkle Ford, also demanding a explanation. He noticed we weren't talking for some time.

"Kids, I know I haven't been talking with you both, but something is wrong. If it's a threat, I need to know." Ford explained to us. I felt no need to say anything. If he knew Bill had been in this house, able to leave and steal anything. And for us to let him?! We might lose Ford's trust! I turn to Dipper, but all he had been doing was look down, and give a plain look.

"Ford...we have something to tell you." Dipper replies quietly, looking back at me. I nod and look back at our Grunkle.

"Yeah, but you might not like it." I added softly. He looked at us both in confusion.

"Well what?!" He asked frantically.

I opened my mouth to explain, but a long loud rumble disturbed that. The whole house was shaking. It was hard enough to stand. We all fell at the same time. Grunkle Ford grabbed the walls and pushed through the front door. I grab dippers hand and pull him up. He looked terrified and I think I know why. Ford ran frantically back in, going to the shelves. He typed some sort of code and three futuristic guns appeared. He grabbed on and charged it up.

"Kids! Grab one quickly and take cover!" Ford screamed.

I went wide eyed. The ground shook again, but louder, more violent. Dipper raced to the guns as I ran to the front. I needed to see what's going on.

"Mabel! Stop! It's dangerous!" Ford yelled at me. Dipper ran after me to the door. I slammed the door open, and stopped in my tracks. Dipper suddenly ran into my back. I hold the door to keep us for tumbling out embarrassingly. I pant and look to my side of Dipper. He pulls me back. It felt so quiet out there. There was no one out there. Ford came, and panted loudly.

"Cipher is gone! And we will get rid of him for good!" He explained loudly to us. I panick, and block the door.

Kill's P.o.v

"Let's get show on the road." I say under my breath. A long smirk spread across my face. I snap, closing my eyes. It's show time.

Mabel's P.o.v

"Grunkle Ford! He isn't doing this! Bill is my friend and he will always be my friend!" I scream. He stopped. I catch my breath and stare at him angry. Dipper stared wide eyed behind me. So did Ford.

"What?.." I say quickly. I turn my head and cover my mouth. It was Bill, extending his hands out with a adorable smile.

"Please..Come to me. I missed you..so much." He called. He spread his hands to me. I couldn't believe it. He was alive and okay! I knew it! I tear up in happiness.

"BILL!!!! Bill!" I shout in happiness, sprinting to his arms. He embraced me tightly, and I do the same.

"How are you back?! I messed-" I started.

"Shush. Don't worry your pretty head about it." He stated back, looking at Dipper seriously. Dipper stepped a couple times to me. I felt Bill tighten his grip. It hurt badly.

"You're so cute. It's a shame you got into the crossfire. Sorry Mabel." Bill murmured. I look back at him and frown. No..He called me Mabel..

"What do you-" I say, a lot confused.

"MABEL THAT ISN'T-" I hear Dipper yell. I stop and back away. Bill rolled his eyes.

"Okay playtime over."

He snapped quickly. I heard a thud twice. I turn quickly and run to Dipper and Ford, who were on the floor. I shake him once, and felt their pulses. Both breathing. I sigh in relief, and Reverse away from the fake Bill.

"You can't be Bill! You liar!" I screamed at him. He grinned.

"Smart girl." Was his words as he turned into someone I didn't recognize. Like a red version on the Bill I knew. He was angrier, meanier, and scarier..if I might admit.

"Name's Kill Cipher, your boyfriends brother I might add! How's he doing? Let's see..." I guess, Kill replied smugly. In one quick swishing movement, the world became greyscale, time moved forward. Dipper and Ford weren't there. The Shack wasn't there!

But, right where it used to be stood a dark dim blue triangle. It clutched both of it's hands in the grass, holding onto it for dear life. The space itself was so quiet. The place had too much pain of silence. It looked down and then looked right at me. I walked forward and smiled lightly. Even it's eye was so clouded. Clouded with sadness and defeat. Like I wasn't even there. Like-

"This is the mindscape. A deep place demons have access to. And this. This is my mindscape. A prison world made for me to suffer and eventually a place for me to die forever." Kill says sternly, eyeing the blue triangle in pity. I stare at the triangle and look back at him.

"What did he do..to deserve this? Who is this?" I questioned. Kill laughs.

"This is your doing. This is his torcher, but it's also yours!" He yelled happily. Kill grabbed my shoulders and kneeled to my ear. I shivered.

"Listen closely." Kill enucidated, looking back at the triangle. The blue being then started crying, tears falling slowly onto the grey grass. It was sad. This prison wasn't meant for this. Wasn't meant for anything or anyone. I walk forward and kneel down to the triangle. It's head tilted, so no face was shown.

"Hey.." I cooed softly, turning my head.

"It's all my fault....It's all my fault. It's all my fault.." it continues, over and over in a monotone voice. I didn't think it could hear me or see me at all.

"What's your fault?" I say carefully, even though it couldn't hear, it was one of the questions I hesitate to know.

"I can't. I'm a monster. I can't. Shooting Star. I'm so lonely...Help m-me..I can't..I'm a murderer..I can't..*sob*" it said, it's voice breaking and collapsing in sobs of help.

"B-B-Bill..." I say in realization. Kill grinned, walking over to Bill and kneeling by him.

"It's a shame...I mean, for you it's been a few minutes.." he started. I cover my mouth and tear up.

"But, it's been 2 months in the dreamscape. And like I said....it's torcher and suffering."
