The Puppet Strings In The Dark (3)

Chapter 4, Bill

I sit next to Dipper at the diner. He looks a bit shaken, but other than that he looks fine. I am disoriented, and it appears will is the same. Mabel is holding his hand. I just sit there. The stan brothers are sitting across from us. We order our food, eat, and leave. Nothing much is said. My head feels like I am repeatedly getting hit with an axe. Will doesn't look to good either. We get home, and me and will sneak off to go find a dark, quite room to lay in. We settle for my room. I lock the door, he closes the blinds, and we both flop on the bed. Why am I so agitated? I bury my face in my hands.
"I'm guessing you have a headache too?" He whispers. I nod. He groans.
"You know what that was right?" I quietly ask.
"Yeah. But, who could have done that?" I sit and think for a moment.
"You don't thunk it could have been-"
"I got rid if him awhile ago. No, it wasn't him." I knew he was going to bring up Dan.
"Who did then?" He asks. I shrug. He sighs. there is a light mock on the door. I Get up and open it, almost falling over in pain. Mabel and Dipper are standing at the door. Mabel holds out her hands. Six little pills sit in her palms.
"For your headaches. Both of you get three." I take them from her.
"Thanks kid, but how do you know that we have headaches?" I ask.
"I may have easedropped a little to see if you we're OK." Dipper looks at me concerned. I kiss him.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine." I say. I shut the door. Will looks at me.
"Medicine" I say. He groans. I give him three little pills. We both swallow them. They leave a bad taste in my mouth. Will makes a face. I chuckle, and curl up on the bed. I don't mean to, but I fall asleep.
