“Okay, I think he’s awake.” Naeva said quietly, looking over at Leige, who turned to look at their creation. “Hi there. I know things are going to be a little confusing for a second, but you will understand in a moment.”

He stared up at her, trying to understand what was happening. His limbs felt heavy, but certain things made sense. He knew this girl’s name was Naeva, she was the Archduchess of Ari. The boy was Leige, her bodyguard. A bodyguard like him.

Leige leaned over him thoughtfully, “Responses confirm it worked. Combination of the dead and our basic machinery and dark magic… the Weeping Shadow Unit is active.”

Weeping Shadow. Unit 0. That was his name… what they had called him. How did he know any of that anyway? It was like it was infused in his brain. He looked around, then down at his feet. They weren’t his feet. Had he had feet before? He felt like he had forgotten something important. Like he was supposed to be somewhere else…

“Weeping Shadow is too long. Can’t we just call him Shadow? Or Weep? Or Eep?” Naeva sighed, looking him over as he observed his own metallic body. He felt wrong somehow. He didn’t belong there… his body was all off. “What would you prefer? Shadow I think. It works with your new body.”

“I…” He spoke, but even his voice felt strange and metallic. All wrong. Everything was not what it was supposed to be. He had been alive once, he had been sure he was alive. Parts of him. Parts of him had been alive once.

“He’s talking. That’s good.” Leige mentioned from beside her, looking down at him, “Don’t be afraid Shadow. What can we do to make you more comfortable.”

He tilted his head, feeling every part of his metallic body clicking when he moved. Every part of himself seemed to function on a whole other level… had he been this aware when he was alive? He didn’t like it. He didn’t like knowing where everything was. Or the place he was in. It was dark. It was scary.

“I…” He paused again, trying to use the voice that wasn’t his, “Wanna… see… tree.”

Naeva and Leige paused a moment, as though they were shocked by his simple request. They glanced at each other and Naeva slowly turned back to him, “Okay I guess… you can come outside with us. Come on.”

He slowly got up, but everything was slow. Nothing worked the way it used to. He slid off the operating table, and it took both of the other creatures to catch him.

“This isn’t working.” Naeva grumbled, “He isn’t used to this body yet. He still needs time.”

“Wanna… see… tree.” He begged again, which made Leige sigh once more.

“Come on Naeva. He just wants to see a damn tree.” The twisted creature frowned, nodding for her to help him.

She did so, a little reluctantly, but eventually he got some use of his legs back and he crawled up the window a little and looked outside. There it was. A tree, just outside his window. Something natural.

Everything else was wrong, but at least the world outside was right.

The secret side of me, I never let you see
I keep it caged but I can't control it
So stay away from me, the beast is ugly
I feel the rage and I just can't hold it
It's scratching on the walls, in the closet, in the halls
It comes awake and I can't control it
Hiding under the bed, in my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?
