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

2:9: In Slappy's Place

ELLE'S POV:

Preston: Bill! Come back here!

Preston yelled from a distance. Bill hid us in the creepy, dark basement, invisible, he was silently giggling to himself. He seemed like he wasn't gonna talk to me right now because he's hiding from Preston. This might be my chance to escape Bill's trap.

Still if I ever could.

Then I thought back to what Bill said to me that might be hidden clues. Clues to both escaping this soul cage and clues to solving the code to break the hack on my phone.

Is Ms IQ trying to hide herself from the truth?

Eenie, meenie, minie, YOU!

You'll ground yourself like you've always done in the past?

You know I'm not gonna stop me until you stop me.

Anything can be dangerous if you have a bit of luck and if you use it effectively.

Sounds like a you problem.

Hey, you're only putting pressure on yourself.

It'll come in handy including now.

All these sayings from Bill...
They're all hidden helpful messages. Well look who's the sucker now......
It's me.

All these quotes sounded true, sad but true. When it came to punishment for myself, I mostly knew what I did wrong and grounded myself. I honestly didn't know why but I thought I deserved the blame. Now that I think back to this Bill Cipher situation, maybe I did blame myself again. For doing another foolish deal with the same equilateral demon that I've grown to despise. Maybe me and Bill dug a little deeper into my mind into my weird self-grounding habit. It's weird but it made sense.

Did I cage myself because I felt scared and guilty? Maybe, maybe I did.

And if I did, I can get myself out easily. If I just think positive I could escape.

That's it! Positivity is key! It makes perfect sense! Elle, you've done it again!

Thinking positive should be easy. Luckily, I have some victories, friends, family, and talents to keep me happy, loved, and occupied. Just like in the past no matter what obstacle, or villain tried to do to stop me, I keep on going. The most successful victories and memories I had was with ones where I was smiling. Speaking of smiling, I could feel one curving up on my face.

Me: Who's the sucker now, Bill? Because it's not me!

Like that, the cage shattered outwards into shrinking pieces. Me, my soul was actually free from my own obstacle, my self-grounding. Well, now that that's over I floated out of my invisible body and floated through the floor to the hallway. Suddenly from Preston whooshing through the house, I tumbled quickly through the closet door and into a new vessel.
Everything was dark for a second, then I opened my eyes. Examining the new vessel, I looked from my hands, to my body, to my feet. The setting I was in was very dim obviously because I was inside the closet. The vessel I'm in felt hard on my hands and feet but really soft on the rest of the body. Then I touched my face, that's hard too, like glass or dried clay. My skin tone was a little more brown than my actual vessel, and I felt the top of my head, I had wire-like black wavy hair. I stood up and I noticed I was wearing moccasins on my feet, and leather like clothing that was actually made out of fabric. On the top of my head again, it felt like a headband with a feather sticking on the top of it. By then I finally knew what vessel I was taking over. That old little Native American girl doll that was one of the artifacts of this house, that was me.
I had mixed feelings about the doll, I thought it was cool but since it was a realistic looking doll, it kinda creeped me out too. Now, it's the vessel I'm possessing. At least I can move everything from head to toe. Deciding to take a look around, I totally forgot for some reason who was right next to me: Slappy.
Slappy could help me, if he's awake that is. Also for the first time, I'm actually smaller than him.
