Chapter 39

Sorry I couldn't update Monday...School... >:(

Y/N's POV

"P-Please, leave me alone! Let go of me! What did I ever do to you?!" I cried and screamed as the two demons drag me away from Ford's body.

"Look, Y/n, I suggest you keep that pretty mouth of yours shut until we are farther away and Bill won't be able to hear us." the pink demon tells me yet keeps her eye on the path and never looks at me directly.

I shut my mouth tight and let them drag me to who knows where. They drag me until we are deep in the forest far from any other demons or what's left of civilization. They let go of me and I fall to the ground, backing away from both creatures. "H-How do you know m-me? What do you want from me?!"

"Yeesh, alright, introduction time. I'm Pyronica and this is Keyhole. As you can already tell, we're demons; friends of Bill's actually and who doesn't know who his girlfriend is?"

"I-I'm not the girlfriend of that monster." I say narrowing my eyes.

Pyronica took in a deep breath before letting it out slowly while looking at the ground, "Yeah, he has changed, hasn't he? A monster now, even. Not the same Bill we all knew and loved. That's why we came to ask for a favor."

"And you think I'm going to trust you because?..."

"Look, do whatever you want to us; all we are asking for is help to stay hidden from Lord Psyche. Please, we're begging you."

"Wow, demons can beg? Would have never guessed." I retorted.

"Please, Y/n," Keyhole begged, "you don't know Psyche like we do. He plans on destroying every planet in the galaxy and then what's left? Where will we live? The Nightmare Realm will be destroyed and we are left with no home! We don't care what you humans plan on doing to us so long as you stop him."

"You want...to help us stop him?" I ask suspiciously. Both of them nod their heads as it grows silent. Okay, so I have trusted two demons before and look how that turned out! Why should I trust these two? What makes them different from Cipher and Locke?

They begged. Yeah, I did notice that. It doesn't seem like a common thing for demons to necessarily do. Still, why should I still trust these two? I've trusted two demons already and look where that got me. They seem terrified. Yes, also noticed, thank you brain. Okay, so they look terrified; this could all be fake and be a trap for later. These two though, I have this odd feeling to trust them...WHAT DO I DO?! What would Ford do...would he trust them? They could have killed me and demanded that I took them back to the bunker but instead they begged and pleaded that I help them out.

"What about Bill? Your friend?"

I could've sworn I heard Pyronica growl, "He chose his side, he chose to work with the monster. If he wants to destroy everyone and everything then fine by me but I'll be dead before I decide to join Kaden!"

My eyes widen at her sudden outburst as I just stare blankly. "Okay, well, I think we have enough room in the bunker for you two. Just...please, don't make me regret doing this."

Keyhole smiles at me and traps me in a tight hug where my lungs literally cannot be filled with air, "C-Can't...breathe!..." He lets go and laughs while still having a huge smile on his face. I look down at my hands where I've been holding tightly to a pair of broken glasses; I let a tear slip as Pyronica and Keyhole hug me sympathetically and not as tight as before. I wipe away the few stray tears and look up at the two, "Come on, we have a lot of work to do if we want to defeat Psyche."

*Time Skip*

Pyronica, Keyhole, and I all made it back to the bunker with no trouble whatsoever. We walk in and it seems everyone is back from the surface. Once they see the two demons behind me, however, they all start to panic. They're all trying to back away while others are fidgeting with their weapons to prepare for an attack. "Wait! It's okay, they won't hurt us."

"And how do you know that's true, missy?" Gideon asks while backing away more.

"I trust them, they hate Psyche as much as we do and if anyone hear tries to harm them you'll have to go through me first. I suggest if you want to keep your bones from breaking you do as I say and leave these demons alone." I yell enough for everyone in the room to hear. I could see everyone tense as they all try to go back to what they were doing before. I smirk at this and as I'm doing so, I can hear Keyhole whispering to Pyronica behind me, "I like her."

We walk over and sit by Wendy and Dipper as I try to explain our current situation. That's when Stan comes over, "Hey kid, where's Ford?" I immediately went silent as did the rest of the bunker as they wait for my answer. I dig into my pocket as I pull out the broken glasses and hesitantly hand them to Stan. "I-I'm s-sorry, h-he saved me. I-I tried but...i-it was too late." I start to cry and bury my hands in my face as I'm terrified to see Stan's reaction. I can hear his footsteps walk away until they stop and I flinch as I hear him punch and break the wall. I look up nervously and watch him slowly take his hand out while examining it. He looks over at me with tears in his eyes and I couldn't help but cry more.

"Kid, don't think that I blame you for any of this because I don't. I'm glad you're alive and safe. Ha, my brother always had to be a hero, didn't he? Now look where this mess has gotten him...dead! I'm...I'm glad you're okay and I will make sure nothing bad happens to you if those demons decide to come back for you."

With that, he walked away and all eyes are now on me. There is an eerie silence as I start to get nervous. What do I say? I can already tell Dipper and Mabel are heartbroken. I feel a hand on my shoulder as I turn and see Pyronica giving me a sincere smile as if she was telling me it'll be okay. I gave a weak smile back as I stood up and headed for the front of the room. As I now stand here, I remember Ford being here just a few hours ago. A few hours ago he was alive and now it's as if time wasn't on his side any longer. I held back the tears as I thought about something to say. As I said before, I'm nervous when it comes to talking to people and I could already feel my stomach tightening, warning me that this is too far and I should not be standing in front of so many people. I took a deep breath and began,

"Stanford Pines, a true leader, a friend, a Grunkle, and even a father-figure. A few hours ago, he was standing side-by-side with all of us but was later taken from his life. We were about to head back to the bunker when Bill attacked us; he wanted both of us dead but Ford saved me before I could get hurt. H-He saved me b-but couldn't save himself. Ford was like a father to me and I wouldn't want anything else but to have him back...he'll be forever missed and remembered for what he has done to try and save this town plus the world.

"As we were out, we were able to gain some information. Psyche doesn't plan on just ruling this world; he plans on destroying it and every other world that exists. Nothing will be left but him and all his glory. Tonight at midnight is when he plans to have a meeting with all demons to prepare for ending the world. Tonight is the only chance we got if we want to save the world! Please, will anyone help me?"

The room grew silent as I tried to read their expressions. Some scared, some nervous, some depressed. I saw Stan standing in the corner holding tightly to the pair of glasses that once belonged to his twin. I let out a shaky breath, trying to calm my nerves down. A song pops into my head as I start to sing it softly to myself thinking it will help calm me down,

"Who's gonna save the world tonight?
Who's gonna bring...you back...to life?..."

I look at the glasses as tears start to gloss over my eyes. I try to wipe them away but a few escape before I can. I froze when I started hearing someone else sing,

"We're gonna make it, you and I"

I look around to find Wendy being the owner of that voice and her smiling at me. The twins next to her exchanged a smile with one another before joining in as well,

"We're gonna save the world tonight!"

I left the front of the room and hugged the three of them. I let the tears run down my dirty face but I didn't care. We're gonna be okay, we're gonna make it. I watch as everyone started gathering around us, all anxious and excited. That's when Fiddleford broke the silence, "Let's save the world!" Everyone cheered, fists were thrown into the air as there was shouting and clapping. I waited for the room to quiet down a little before I talked once again, "This terror ends tonight, the nightmares will end!"

"Let's take on Bill and Kaden together!" Dipper shouted as we fist bumped.

This is it, we are going to end the demons' reign tonight. There's no turning back now. We are doing this for all the ones we've lost, for all the ones to save, for all the ones who've sacrificed themselves for others. I'm doing this for Ford and I won't stop at nothing until Kaden and Bill are defeated. The only thing that could possibly stop me is if I die and I won't let that happen. I grabbed the necklace that still hung around my neck; I'm not your little Star anymore, Bill, tonight I will shine the brightest.

Sure, stars do die out eventually, but they are also giant balls of light. That light can burn. I will burn the brightest. I won't stop until you pay for betraying me, lying to me, and for killing my dad.
