Chapter 28

A/N: Just so we are clear, I give full credit to the amazing artist who made this version of Bill Cipher. Of course, I give full credit to everyone's fanart I have put on here but I used this outfit in the story below so thank you amazing artist! (All these artists are amazing and talented)

Bill's POV

Tonight went great! Sure the thunderstorm killed the mood but I did get a kiss. Wow, I kissed an actual human mortal...but she's different from other humans. Maybe that's why I care about her so much than any other Meatsack. Ha, I'm actually in love! It's so strange, I mean demons aren't suppose to fall in love but that doesn't mean I want to stop.

It's real, these feelings I have are real!

It's been an hour since I left Star on her doorstep; I'm still drenched but at least it stopped pouring, it's just sprinkling now. I would dry myself off but that would be a waste of my powers. It's just water, water can't hurt me.

I continue to walk further...until I collapse. I collapse onto the mud ground, clutching my chest. I can't breathe, I can't get air into my lungs. Pain rises all over my body and it hurts, badly. Pain use to be fun when I use to only have it rarely when I possessed people but this, this hurts. My vision starts to get blurry as water falls onto my face; I can't tell if it's rain or my own salty tears. I can't pass out, not now. Not when Star could receive a nightmare; I can't let her receive one, not tonight! I can't fight back anymore, the symbols are already appearing all over my body; they're the last of my magic fighting for me to stay alive. I let the darkness consume me.

"Star...forgive me.."

•••

I open my eyes, I must've passed out on the ground but now I'm wearing something new: white sleeveless
t-shirt, tattoos of brick patterns on my arms, dark grey ripped up pants, and black shoes. Weird, what happened? I try to recall my recent events; so first I picked Star up, took her to Greasy's Diner, we star gazed for a while, kissed, and then- oh gosh, what have I done?! I try to stand up which was a bad decision because I just fell over. I wipe the mud off my face and stand up again, sprinting to the shack.

Someone is giving my Star nightmares and I just gave whoever a great opportunity. How long was I out? Well, turns out I passed out for 6 hours, it's 6 o'clock. I was awake when it was around 12 and now it's 6. I'm such an idiot. Who knows what kind of nightmare she was given? Probably one that makes it seem as though I'm the one giving her it like the Weirdmageddon nightmare.

Don't worry, Star, I'm coming.

Dumb legs, can't move fast enough. I finally reach the shack...twenty minutes later. I try to get in the front door but it's locked; maybe I can break in? No, no...well maybe... As I'm trying to decide whether I should break in or not, I hear a scream. I run to the other side of the shack, tripping along the way, and find myself at a window outside of Star's room.

I look inside, she's shaking, sweating, and crying. What happened in her mind?! Is she okay? I swear, I will kill myself if she isn't okay. Better yet, kill the one responsible, time is running out for me to find out who is doing this. I watch as Fez opens the door out of breath, I can't hear what they are saying though. I see Star sprint out of the room passing Fez. I hear the front door to the shack open and slam close shut. That's when I see her, running, but running where?

I follow her, running, but also quiet so she can't hear me. We both end up on the cliff I took her to last night. She sits on the edge in a ball form crying again; I hate seeing her like this. Where's my bright, beautiful Star with so much joy and curiosity? I slowly walk over to her, not knowing how she's going to react, and place my hand on her shoulder gently. She tenses up which just worries me more, "Y/n?"

She turns around with anger and fear rising in her eyes, "Why do you hate me so much?! What else do you want from me?!" She pushes me to the ground and stands up, "I'm not your toy that you can just play with, that you can just play with my emotions and think it's just all fun and games. It's not!"

I stand up quickly and grab her hand, "Y/n, wai-"

"No," she pushes me off of her, "just shut up and leave. You've already done enough damage and I don't want to be hurt anymore by the likes of you!"

Oh man, she really hates me. This isn't the same Star I know, what happened in her nightmare, "What did I do to you?"

"As if I'm ever answering to you again!"

I grab both of her hands tightly make her whimper a bit out of pain, "I don't care if you want to answer me or not, you're telling me what you saw in your nightmare!" I didn't even realize I was yelling at her or even that my eye was crimson red until I finished. This is the only way I'm actually going to get to her right now, no matter how much I hate it.

"B-but, shouldn't you know?-"

"Don't question, just answer!"

She becomes quiet while shaking a lot. She looks at the ground but I force her to look up at me letting go of one of her hands. She begins crying....please make it stop, Star.

"I-I was at the shack but it was grey and white. Memories of my past about me being a....f-freak were shown to me. I saw every mistake I've ever made and everyone who m-made fun of me. The last memory...my dad wishes I never existed, he wished that I was the perfect daughter he dreamed of having. It's all true, it's all my fault. Then you," her voice is like venom when she mentions me, "you tried to kill me! You told me 'Stars die out eventually'! The exact message you gave me from my nightmare before. I should have never trusted you again! I keep on making the same mistakes and lately, they all come back to you. All of it, it's all thanks to Bill Cipher, the man who just wants to ruin my life!"

"BUT I'M NOT THE ONE DOING IT!" I shout.

She freezes, "W-What?"

I can't believe I'm doing this, "When we first met, I told you I never entered your mind; I wasn't lying that day but you thought I was. I was afraid you would tell the Pines family about me so I decided to say I did give you the dream about the wheel so I could make the deal with you. I didn't exactly know what dream you were talking about so I just decided to get rid of all your dreams and nightmares in general.

"My powers didn't 'slip-up' the night at the shack, I was just too weak that night and whoever has been giving you the wheel dreams saw it as a perfect opportunity to give you a nightmare of Weirdmageddon. I gave him another great opportunity last night when I passed out in the middle of the woods; I almost died, Y/n, and all I could think about was you receiving a horrific dream as you just described. I'm not the bad guy here, don't you see?"

I finally let go of her as she looks at the ground, speechless. I don't dare to read her mind, scared of what I might find. She has to believe me, I'm telling the truth after all. She looks up at me slightly which makes me freeze in place, "You're a liar.."

"What?"

"You're a liar, Bill Cipher! I'm not going to let you trick me again. So shut up with all your lies and leave me alone, I never want to see you and that stupid face of yours again!"

Pain is sent all through my body, making it hard to breathe. I leave though, it's what she wants. I walk back into the woods with my mind completely blank except one thing: I lost her, I lost my Star. I start to get a massive migraine and collapse. My lungs feel like they've stopped working and my chest feels like a thousand daggers have been pierced through it. I scream out which doesn't help at all. My vision gets blurry as I see the red symbols appearing all over my body. "I lost her...I-I lost her..."

Y/N's POV

"You're a liar, Bill Cipher! I'm not going to let you trick me again. So shut up with all your lies and leave me alone, I never want to see you and that stupid face of yours again!"

He stiffens his stance before finally leaving me. Thank goodness, I just wanted him out of my life for good. I don't want to be lied to or tricked anymore than I already have been. I start crying again; why, because I know deep down I still have real feelings for him.

A strong wind starts to come, moving my hair in front of my face. I move my hair and look up to see lightning bolts in the sky. The clouds are circling right over me it seems and it keeps growing by the second. What on earth? That's when I hear a scream. Bill.

I get up and run through the woods trying to find him, I call his name repeatedly but with no response. Where are you Bill? I see a figure on the ground with red symbols all over its body. No, is it him? I walk over and kneel down, it's Bill. He keeps mumbling, "I lost her.." over and over. B-But he was lying...right? I pick his head up and put it in my lap. The storm above grows stronger, is he doing this? Why are the symbols red and not blue?

"Bill, wake up, it's me."

He doesn't move.

"Bill, please!"

Nothing, there's no difference.

I start crying, hugging tight onto Bill. I want him to be okay; please Bill, wake up!

"Bill...I trust you.."
