This one was going to be trouble. Bo had thought that the moment this newcomer had crawled back into his Bog and found him by the water’s edge. One with self preservation in mind and a rebellious streak. One that could understand when he had wiped her away, off the face of the universe, only to rebuild her again. The mere fact he called ‘her’ a her was trouble. Minions like that didn’t have identities. They didn’t have genders and self awareness.
And yet, the monster couldn’t get rid of her. She was drawn to him as all Fearlings were. Drawn into his presence, eventually to be absorbed into his being and spat back out.
So, he did as all master’s would. He kept an eye on the trouble maker. Not that he feared she would rise up against him. He could squash her between his fingers as though she were a bug and, to him, she was. He also didn’t fear she could lead rebellion. The other Fearlings hardly seemed to give her much time of day, doing their duties as they should.
He simply watched her because she shouldn’t BE.
Bo had sensed she was attempting to move again. Reawakened to serve, as per usual, from Limbo, but she would always attempt to run. So, he drew her back before she could get away.
“Careful out there. You might hurt yourself.” He stated in a calm tone as he leaned up against the beams that supported the roof of his shack, up on the second level.
The fearling’s head quickly turned to gaze upon her creator. She found herself utterly perplexed by her lack of freedom.
“I could leave as I pleased before... Why am I now unable?”
She could hardly understand the concept, but what was stranger was her perception of time. The time between the development of her sentience and her arrival in the bog was hardly more that a millisecond. However, she had only just begun to grasp such a foreign concept as time. The instance, in her mind, lasted days or perhaps even another unnamed measurement.
Why did she exist? She couldn’t help but wonder to herself. Why were the others not as she was? Why did they fail to respond when she called out to them?
She still struggled to grasp even the concept of her own existence.
“Why am I different? Why can I ask that question?” She shouted over to him. “I need to understand!”
