🥀.        "Quiet people have the loudest minds."- Stephen King

      Days passed by, and the trio have slept in silence. Not a word was said after the incident, just...actions.

      The restless demon tossed, and turns in the middle of the night on the soft sand. His dreams were black, inky, abandoned. There was only one thing that struck him every night; the harmony of a ringing bell. It haunts him to the point of waking drenched in sweat at night. The moon glimmering in the dark water seemed to bright for him, so after his every day nightmare he'd stay up every night in fear of the noise. But one thing didn't set right with Bill after the first day of the dream, he couldn't hear. It's as if his ears were clogged from any noise. Why can't I hear? He'd ponder over the next few days, giggling at random times for no reason. Something in Bill wanted to let Wirt, and Finn know about his condition, but he kept quiet. It'll go away~ But it didn't.

      Wirt spent most of the time finding the boys and himself some food. At random times his eyes would go black and he wouldn't see anything then his vision would turn back on and he would see again. I haven't ate, that's why. I gotta feed the lantern first. Once he fed the dimming object with the black fuel from the adelwood trees he went back to searching for any lost children to devour.

       Finn besides the two teens, slept. He just slept. His energy wasn't returning, and that scares him. What is happening to my body? He couldn't move, speak, nor see....he was asleep.

     Something inside began to eat Wirt that something was wrong. Something prevented them from being able to talk, feel, to heal. He's theorized that maybe Time Baby has something to do with it. Did they poison us? Why wont Bill taunt me? Why won't Finn wake up? What was worse for the Lantern Barrer, was that he hadn't thought of a plan--he never had one. What am I doing?....If I am so hungry...why dont I just..eat them? As the Lantern Barrer ambled through the forest making his way back to the duo, he thought of one thing. Hunger.

      I don't need them...all I need is him, that bastard will pay for my brother...damn it Time Baby what are you doing to me...to us?

------------------------------------------------------------

.🥀.  In Time Baby's Realm:

      General Iron pops up from his large bed drenching in sweat. He licks his chapped lips, Hunger. He proceeds to slip down the lace fabrics, and meet the cold floor. Rubbing his head, the general receives a minor thump between his eyebrows. He massages his temples with the end of his thumb.

"You need water?"a small voice next to him peeped.

      Iron glances up at the noise. A petite girl with blond long hair stares at him with worry while holding a bowl of water. He smirks at her. The girl's eyes widen to see the right hand man of Time Baby at her side.

"Hey aren't you that filthy rich girl from that stupid town...what was it called? The demon ruled his castle on--"

Gravity Falls.

"Sir your eye..."she trembles as she points to Iron's hollow eye.

     The general claps one hand over his eye, dropping his smile. With a serious face he glares at her,"Where's my eye patch?"

"It's right here sir."another voice says behind the frozen girl.

    Just then, a round tiny creature pops out and wobbles to the general casually. The creature wore a black butler outfit with a red bow, his two eyes looked like seeds from a watermelon, and his colors were red sharp stripes with a white fill. "Thank you Peppermint Butler." Iron growls as the tiny man holds out the black eye patch from his tiny stick hands.

"As for you..."Iron gestures to the girl still frozen in silence while he ties up his eyepatch,"...a Northwest like you should know a lot about the 'Demon with One Eye'. Tell me...do you know him?" Iron smiles widely.

      Peppermint Butler jumps in front of the girl,"No General Iron, she does not. Time Baby assigned her to take care of you while you rest. That's all she's here to do."

"Pacifica Northwest?"Iron smirks.

     The blond girl tightens her jaw, and shakes,"Yes?"

"Do you know anything about a boy named Dipper Pines? The demon took him as his own possession, I wondered if you know the poor boy who became the demon's vessel." Iron sighs. "Poor boy."

     Pacifica glares intensely at the general and takes a step, opening her mouth. Peppermint Butler steps in front of her again with wide arms, blocking her from taking another step. He shakes his head,"No sir, she doesn't know him."

    Pacifica looks down in shame for losing her cool. The red bright walls around dim in light as the candles around with a strawberry scent dialate in size. Dipper Pines..."He's right."she looks up,"I don't know him."

   The chandalier above shakes as the general stands up. His shadow towers over the two servants. Suddenly, his lively eye glows purple. Pacifica shakes in fear,"Stay back."Peppermint Butler whispers to her.

"Oh really?" Iron sneers.

🥀.    In The Unknown...

       "Hey."

    Bill slowly turns around with a sad smile,"Oh hey.." I can hear now? Why can I only hear his voice after all this time?

    Wirt stares into the weak demon's eyes. He's not well. The Lantern Barrer could clearly see his comrade feeling ill from the lack of sleep. He bends down to Bill's level, and sets his lantern down. Not fully seated, bending his knees like a sitting child, he strokes the bottom of the demon's eye. His cold finger felt like frost to Bill, but he didn't mind. Wirt streaks across with his thumb on Bill's purple under eyelid. "You've been restless?" To Bill this felt more of a statement than a question.

    Bill brushed Wirt's hand away lightly, he thirdly chuckles. He's exhausted. Wirt stood straight up again picking up his lantern.

"So have you come up with a plan yet? I've given you...how many days? You say there's no time in this hell hole, but I've counted at least how many times the moon showed itself to me in a span of eight days..."Bill raises a brow.

"I'm still working on it."Wirt turns to look at the cloudy sky.

     Suddenly, a pebble hits Wirt's cheek which surprises him. "LIAR!" Bill yells.

"I'm going insane Branches!!!" The demon holds his head, shaking.

      You've already gone past the point of no return...I am the one going insane. The Lantern Barrer rolls his eyes and glances back at Finn; who sleeps soundly at the bottom of an bare-leafed adelwood tree,"He hasn't woken up has he?"he asks.

"What do you think?"Bill snaps at him turning away to look at the foggy lake.

"You hit him hard."

"I saved your ***! You should be thankful, kissing my boots!"

"I refuse."

"Kiss. My. Boots!"

"You haven't washed them."

"I don't care."

        Wirt shakes his head, not even in hell I'd be able to kiss his boots, he's too low for me. Bill hums, crossing his arms as he does,"You're a twig." Wirt ignores the demon's comment.

"I care less." The tall gnome squints at Finn's weak body.

        I want him to wake up, as by now Time Baby is hunting us. I'm worried we might now make it--I mean, I want to make it. I have unfinished buisness with that bastard....what am I gonna do about these two though?

"You could've left."Bill mumbles.

      Wirt doesn't look at him, his eyes get stuck on the prince below the old tree. He's right, why didn't I? He nods in agreement.

"But you didn't, and that pisses me off." Bill admits with a tight jaw.

"I won't apologize for that, you should know that you're only here as my source of information, a tool."Wirt glances back at Finn,"And he is a slave."

"Don't try to bring us down Branches, it won't matter in the end~"Bill sighs as he stands up,"Because I know one thing you don't. It's that if you try to control someone, karma is gonna bite you hard."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"It means twigs that you are an idiot trying to control me and popsicle over there. I have a weird feeling that your worried about us~ You're staying for us-"

"I don't kno-"Bill throws bits of rocks at Wirt. The grey gravel alarms the tall gnome into taking a step back."LIES!" The demon shouts. "And don't interrupt me you sinking seagull!"

"I can swim-"

"STOP LYING!"Bill throws more gravel, and this time Wirt stood still. Let him talk, Wirt sighs.

"You're extraordinarily stupid...you honestly disappoint me Branches. The Beast told me you were pretty clever, I don't know about now, but maybe I misunderstood his writing--that idiot really can't write--"

"What did you say?"Wirt hauls the demon up by his collar roughly. His alluring pastel eyes attract Bill. The 'Demon with One Eye' smirks,"You're getting very predictable Branches~"

    Wirt squints to see every bit of the demon's physical structure. His facial features seem one of an angel, very enchanting. Royalty. "So you've had business with the Beast?"

"I know why you didn't leave. It was because you have no plan, and I don't know why you want to keep me alive, you have a different reason why you keep me. As for Finny, I have a strange sensation he reminds you of someone~."Bill cracks a smile.

     Wirt let's go of Bill's collar, and kicks the boy in the stomach hard. "GAH!" The demon grunts as he rolls in the ground moaning in pain. Wirt frowns,"Incorrect as always."he mumbles.

     Suddenly, behind Wirt coughs start to erupt. The Lantern Barrer looks back to see Finn coughing, finally awoken. He rushes to him leaving the demon chuckling nervously on the floor.

"W-Wirt.."Finn coughs.

"You slept for a while."Wirt says.

"What's wro-wrong...with h-him?"Finn massages his thoat and points to Bill.

"...."

"OWW!"Bill moans.

"He's still stupid."Wirt answers.
