My reason for smiling.
I come to this clearing to repent. It’s secluded, and even at my worst, there’s no one to hurt here. I can be alone in the silence.
I heard a familiar voice,
“Strange. Twelve destroyed the part of her that was me and she found freedom enough to name herself. Yet here you are, born of nothing physically mine and you remain tethered to your assigned number.”
I turned around, originally thinking myself to be alone in this clearing. I knew the frail, withered form before me, but I said nothing.
“Oh, ever the one to brood. You were always so pessimistic. Perhaps that’s your fascination with the dead.” He creaked closer to me in his wheelchair. “I’m sorry you couldn’t inherit one of my gifts as your siblings did, but you seem to have managed. Necromancy? How twisted.”
I didn’t move. My eyes stayed locked on my creator - my target.
“Can you not even muster a ‘hello’ or ‘Nice to see you da-“
“Shut up.” I spat. I refused to allow him to acknowledge himself as anything parental. He was heartless and deserved no such title.
”Of course. You never were the friendliest of my spawn. Do you even smile?”
“. . .”
”Oh, but I’ve heard the rumors. I know you can smile. You don’t need to hide it. You’re wanted, aren’t you? Poor townsfolk. Such a disaster. All with a tear-soaked smile. What a nightmare to witness. Screaming at people to stay inside, all while laughing hysterically.” He grinned to the best of his ability. He was a literal fraction of himself. Just like I remembered.
“Is that why you’ve been seeking us out? To taunt us?”
”I wanted to keep in touch.”
“You attacked them.”
”A hand forced is a hand misunderstood. Surely you can empathize.”
“Mine were never intentional. And no one was hurt.”
”Not for lack of trying.”
“Leave before I find my sense of humor.”
”You were suppose to be the perfect one. I didn’t have to sacrifice a single part of me to create you. And yet you turned away just like the others. Standing here before me- threatening me. I understand why you chose your path. You cling to the dead because they are nothing. Empty shells, just like you.”
“I’m done with you.”
I turned away and took a few steps toward the woods to rid myself of him, but he wouldn’t shut up.
”I’ll kill them all. Every last one of my failed creations. And I’ll leave you to play with their corpses.”
I stopped.
”Everything has been a warning up until now. A final chance to serve a gracious master in return for the life he gave them. And they’ve all chosen the same fate. What about you, 13?”
As I started to turn back around I could feel that familiar urge. That tickle in the back of my mind. And I started laughing . . .
