Dipper P.O.V

After Bill leaves me alone in the forest I grab my belongings and scram. I do not want to be alone when I know he is near. I do not have Mabel with me and we have always been stronger as a team. I know that I could not defeat Bill by myself.

I run back to the Mystery Shack and head up to the attic. I drop my bag and flop down on my bed.

'I knew something about this summer didn't feel right. Now I know why. Bill Cipher has returned and I know that he's planning something that's absolutely sinister. Last time we encountered each other was during Weirdmageddon. He almost destroyed Gravity Falls. If he truly is more powerful than before then he might be successful. I can't let anything bad happen this summer.'

I take out the journals from my bag and open each of them to the page with the instructions to the portal. This is a very dangerous device. I have thought many times about ripping out the pages and burning them, but each time it's like something tells me to stop.

These books belonged to Grunkle Ford before he gave them to me. It just doesn't feel right to tear any pages out, even if they have the potential to end the world. I cannot bring myself to do it.

I sigh and run my fingers through my hair. Now that I have come into contact with Bill again I know that things will not be safe. I'm going to have to protect myself and the Mystery Shack.

'I am stuck on the fact that Bill told me that we would meet again. I'm not sure when that will be, but I would like to know. I need to be ready if he tries any tricks. I can't let my guard down for any reason. Like Grunkle Ford said in his journal: Trust no one!'

I put the journals back in my bag. I'm going to guard them with my life. I can't let Bill get his hands on them. If he does then there could be a second Weirdmageddon. If I have to, I'll give up my own life to save the world. The lives of seven billion people are far more superior than just my own.

I decide not to tell Grunkle Stan or Grunkle Ford about my meeting with Bill. They both despise him and if they knew I had seen him then things might not be so pretty. It's better for everyone that this remains a secret.

For the time being, I will not tell anyone, not even Mabel. Since she didn't come along for the summer trip we video chat once a week. I know I tell her everything, but this is too dangerous to share. I will only tell if absolutely necessary.

I stare out the window of the attic. Only now do I realize that the window is the shape of Bill in his demonic form. When we met he was in a human form. He didn't look like a normal human because of his sharp teeth and bright yellow eye, but he still looked like a human.

Perhaps this isn't the only place that I have seen his demonic silhouette. If I pay attention to more details I just might find some places where he spies. I do not want to get caught.

'Perhaps I am just being paranoid. Shapes are common. Triangles are common. I will still be careful, but I can't act as if he is constantly spying on me because of the shape of the window. Things may be different, but I have to remain calm so I don't blow my cover.'
