Zigzag Logic (Bill Cipher X Reader)

Stop Him

Your eyes closed.

~No One's POV~

Bill watched as (Y/N) spasmed and collapsed to the ground. He had no idea what to do. First all she thought was cold. Now it was sleep. All he knew was it wasn't good. At all. Her vitals were dropping. Everything she needed to live was almost nonexistent.

She was cold. That was all Bill knew. So he did what he thought would save her. Knowing he was limited in this dimension, he did what he thought would be best. It would take him ages to recover, of course. It would be a long time before he could go back to normal again. It would use energy. He wouldn't be able to finish what he wanted to do. What he needed to do to get rid of the Pines once and for all. He'd have little to no magic for the next week. He would be weak, himself. But he had to do it. For her.

He had to save (Y/N).

Bill spread his arms out and concentrated as much as he could. He began to glow brighter and brighter with each passing second. Another shape was beginning to take over. Bill was blindingly bright at this point. His eyes shut tight, his teeth clenched.

Bill collapsed to the snow on his hands and knees. His yellow blonde hair flowed in the wind, his tan hands dug into the snow. Bill could feel the snow seeping through his black dress pants. He didn't want to move. But he had to.

He quickly scrambled over to (Y/N) and pulled her to her knees, pulling her into a tight embrace. The most he could do was read her mind to look for any sign she might still be alive. She was frozen solid, but Bill could feel the snow and ice slowly beginning to melt away. He was scared. He rarely felt fear. The last time he did was when he was trapped in that old man's mind. Never had he been scared for someone else before. But here he was, shaking from fear as he could hear (Y/N)'s heartbeat get slower and quieter.

Her heart beat once.

Bill could feel the tears freezing to his cheeks. He wasn't ready to let her go. Not yet. Not when he was weak and vulnerable, not when he had finally known what true love felt like, not when the quiet whisper of Sleep... in her mind became a sudden louder voice of Cold...

Bill opened his eyes again to look at her. She was still passed out.

(Y/N)'s heart beat once. Twice. Three times.

It began slowly at first. And gradually came up to speed. Her breathing became loud and ragged, but regular. Her lips were still blue, but her face was regaining color.

Slowly, but surely, (Y/N) opened her eyes. The beautiful, shining (e/c) eyes that were placed in her delicate head were opened. She looked about half dead, as she probably was, but to Bill it was better than fully dead.

It took her a moment to register that there was a human holding her close instead of a triangle. He looked familiar, but not eerily familiar. Kind of like if you met the good twin after meeting the evil twin. (Y/N) was too tired to question it, and just let the warmth envelop her.

~No One's POV (Dipper-focused)~

Dipper followed behind everyone, keeping a close eye on Jack. He hated to think what might be happening to (Y/N) right now. And what Jack wanted to do with her. Dipper gave that man no benefit of the doubt.

As they climbed over the ridge, everyone stopped just before they reached the top. Dipper saw a blue glow resonating below the ridge. He was the one to push past everyone to look over and see what exactly was going on.

The sight Dipper beheld was unlike anything he ever thought was possible. And for Bill, everything was possible.

Blue flames had enveloped (Y/N) and another character that seemed similar to Jack, but less pale and... evil-looking. The man was hugging her in a tight embrace, (Y/N) was limp. Dipper didn't know exactly what was going on, so he quickly scrambled down the steep slope to see what was happening more clearly.
