Just Because (Sequel to Just Why?)

Chapter 1

I went into it and climbed the stairs while calling her: "Shooting Star are you here? Shooooooting Staaaaaaaar!" As I came nearer the top I could begin to hear muffled cries. "Shooting Star is that you?" I stopped before a door and slowly I opened it.

As the door began to move I could see photos all around the room, everywhere, on the walls, on the floor, on the ceiling, on the bed... All of them were photos of her and my beloved Pinetree. She was in the middle of the room, circled by the photos, crouching in her sweater, crying. I could see some of her thought swirling around, like 'Why was I killed?'. She had some sort of gloomy black aura around her.

I opened the doors more and it creaked. She looked up at me, her eyes widening.

"Yellow!" I said trying to sound cheerful.

"You! You... Because of you, I'm dead! You dorito demon!"She shouted at me. The room became slowly completely dark, without any foto and a red angry aura surrounded her.

"That is not true and you know it." She looked at me with murderous eyes and slowly stood up. We stared at each other for a moment and as I was about to speak again, she jumped on me. We both fell on the floor with her on top of me. She tried to scratch out my eyes with her nails. I grabbed her arms with her nails only centimeters apart from my face."Stop!" I shouted, trying to reason her. She seemed like she would stop and then tried again harder to scratch everything she could off my face. 

We rolled over and I was on top of her while she shouted like a savage. "Shut up!" She looked me dead in the eye, only calming a little.

"Mabel! I'm only here because I want to save you!"

"What? You want to save me?" she asked incredulously, while still debating in my arms to free herself from my grasp.

"I have come to ressurect you. I just need you to trust me and follow me willingly." She stopped struggling, but I could feel she still didn't trust me.

"Why would you ever want to help me?"

"Your Grunkles asked me to. They miss you" I could see a thought forming before us: 'Ah, people still love me. I'm needed!' That isn't what I said, but that will do it.

"Okay let's go!" She said suddenly cheerful. She is really weird, even for me.

 I let her go to let her stand up and I stretched my hand to her.

"You need to hold my hand to come back to your body while I perform my magic. Oh and I forgot to mention it, but there is a price to come back in the world of the living." She looked at me in the eyes, took my hand and smiled.

"I don't care as long as I can be with Dipper again." As I would ever let you near him again, you really are an optimistic selfish brat. I put one of my fake smiles on and I nodded, not wanting to say anything. I snapped my fingers and I opened my eyes and I saw her lying on the floor before me.

She looked up at me and tried to stand up, but failed. "You are still too weak to stand up." I stood up, turned around and unlocked the door.

"Where are you going? You can't leave me like this!" I heard her say with her nasty little voice. I didn't answer and went downstairs, while I heard her scream my name.

Once downstairs I went to the kitchen to inform her Grunkles that I did my part of the deal. I saw them sitting limply on two stools before the same but now empty glasses. I still don't want to know what was in them.

"Hello Sixxer and Fez!" I said and they looked up at me with hope in their eyes. "I just came down to say that I, unfortunately, couldn't bring her back." I saw their faces fall down and they looked very down. I laughed at them and they looked completely confused and I could see a bit of anger and deception in Sixxer's eyes. "Ah, you really believed that, did you? You really think, I, Bill Cipher" I pointed on myself "couldn't bring back one simple human?" I smirked at them.

"You mean...?" Stan said.

"She is in the attic." They looked at each other sharing a glance and hastily got up to leave the kitchen. I went between them and the exit. "Don't you seem to forget something?" Ford looked me dead in the eyes, not understanding what I meant. "I did my part of the deal, now hold your part." He just nodded and cleared his throat.

"Thank you, Bill, for bringing her back and in the name of the Pines family, I proclaim that we forgive you." I smiled truly happy to hear this words and stepped out of their way. As Stan rushed by, he muttered a "Thank you" so quietly that if I weren't a demon, I wouldn't have heard it.

I looked after them and how they climbed the stairs up. Once they were on the top, I couldn't see them anymore but I could hear them. They opened slowly the door to the room, as if afraid that a wild animal would flee. I heard them go in and gasp as they saw Mabel, utterly shocked.

"Mabel?" I smirked.
