THE RIVALRY BEGINNING Elle H (EPHtheCoder) x Bill Cipher (But Not Quite)

5: Suspicions

Bill kinda beneath that look of being reassuring is the personality of a sly & secretive planner. I don't know how but I just feel it. I also do have future vision but I haven't seen much visions yet. Oh wait a minute.

Beginning of Vision...

I saw....I saw.....I was...inside my mind again...in the mindscape again. Everything was filled with color again. Until....what the? Why is it turning more yellow?
Why r there Bill Cipher eyes appearing everywhere? Is this a clue? Is this good, bad, or twisted?
Then in a big & echoing voice I heard Bill say: "I'll be watching youuuu!"

End of Vision.

For some reason, I had an uneasy feeling inside, my sudden extincts made me close the book & slam it back on the table.

Bill Cipher: Are you ok, Blue?

Well, that vision could've ment anything. It might just mean he's just looking out there for me since we have so much alike, because we're friends.

Me: Yeah, I'm ok, just...saw a little vision.

Bill Cipher: Of course, you just need to relax, whenever your ready, Blue Orb, just say the word.

He patted my head softly when he said that. Suddenly, someone yellow opened the laundry room door (Preston).

Preston: Oh, hi, Elle, what r u doing here?

Me: Oh, uh....hey, Preston, nothin much.

He noticed beside me on the table the book wasn't on the same spot.

Dangit!

Preston: Did u look at the journal?

He asked it like a strict parent asking a child if they'd done something wrong. Again, it pains me to lie.

Me: Yes, yes I did.

Silence filled the room with a deafening suspense.

Preston: Oh, cool! What stuff did u see in there so far?

Me: Well...

I nervously chuckled.

Me: Just stuff about gnomes, the undead, dimensions-

Preston: Did u...learn about Bill yet?

Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh CRAP!

Me: Uh, Bill? No, not yet, yeeeaaah, bummer.

Preston: Oh ok, but just in case u should learn about him before he might catch up to us and find out our secrets.

My spine chilled when he said that. If keeping secrets keeps friends then.....I don't know. If only there was a way to tell Preston that he's trustworthy. I'll think of something later.

Me: Um, ok, I'll get to it later, ok?

Preston had an eyebrow up.

Preston: Ok then. Wanna hang out in the coder lair?

Me: Sure thing. That would b a great time to relax.

As soon as we went through the secret hidden doors outside in the backyard, it was getting from dusk to night already.

Time flies too fast around here.

We walked down the stairs as the doors automatically closed above us. After a couple of steps, the stairs turned into a slide & we slid
Alllll
The wayyyy
Downnnnn
To the 1st floor of the coder lair. It basically looked like a futuristic living room, the couches were still comfy but they were green when we sat on them. The room was dark, but a lot of things including the couches were glowing neon colors. When I was just soaking in the comfort I heard Bill's voice inside my head. He said....

Your wish is my command.

With that, he snapped his fingers & I gradually went into a deep sleep.

I don't know why but...things were getting suspicious.

Hello, again! EPHtheCoder! U get the drill:

What is Bill really planning?

What's Preston doing in the coder lair?

If Bill Cipher had a show would it be called "Bill Cipher the Triangle Guy"?

Stay tuned for next time! 💙
