I watched the Episode 'Secrets' today, and I loved it. So creepy, so despicable – so evil.

And when they never explained how Harm got his scar, I was left to make assumptions, and this was the result. I tried, but I'm not sure how well it turned out…

Yes, Harm's name is Billy - at least according to the comics, which is my source.


It needed to be exorcised

Harm's chance had come – finally. The Sword of Beowulf had found its home at the museum, waiting for Harm to come to it as it radiated power. There was only one thing left to do, and then Harm would be worthy for wield its might.

"Billy?"

Harm turned to face It – the pure, innocent girl who gazed up at Harm with adoration and love. It tucked a lock of its light blonde hair behind its ear

"Can I go out to the movies? I'll be back by 11"

Its plan would be beneficial to Harm.

"It is fine with me"

It was fine with Harm.

Harm waited in the dark, preparing for the right moment as the golden door knob twisted against the strong wooden door. The time was growing closer, and Harm grew impatient while the door slowly opened.

"Billy?" The sweet voice of the one thing that stood in Harm's way slid quietly from Its mouth.

Harm's muscles, which had been taut with anticipation, flexed and bunched as Harm sprang forward with deadly intent. The jagged dagger gleamed in the low candlelight.

It screamed and turned, Its shoulder narrowly missing the blade. Harm growled in frustration.

Its eyes no longer looked up at Harm with awe – instead, they were filled with terror and shock. It turned and ran. Towards the rear exit

"It has to go; so that Harm can rule." Harm explained condescendingly as he followed, stalking It as a mighty panthers tracks its prey. It ran out of the house to collide with the wooden fence.

"Billy … Billy, why are you doing this? Billy, please!" It pleaded as its back pressed against the slats

"Harm is doing this because sacrifice is needed to gain power and It is standing in Harm's way" Harm said as Harm drew closer. Harm raised the dagger, positioning it so that the blade would thrust through Its skin and pierce Its heart. Harm grasped Its shoulder as It tried to pull away. With a scream, It clawed at Harm. The nails dug into Harm's skin as they raked down from Harm's brow to his cheek. Harm hissed as Harm's face throbbed with pain. "It is fighting back. Good."

It loosed itself from Harm's clutches and fled, but not quickly enough to escape Harm as Harm grabbed It's wrist and threw it to the ground. It protested, but Harm straddled It's waist as Harm used one hand to pin It's hands to the ground.

"Billy, please…" It sobbed as tears seeped from It's eyes. It turned it's head and screamed in pain and anguish.

With each plunge of the dagger, the blade darkened with crimson stains. Plump, red drops rained down on Harm. Each drop brought Harm closer to the power and so Harm never relented.

Harm stared at the mirror as Harm examined the gashes that It had inflicted on Harm's face. They were no longer bleeding. Soon, they would be scars – badges of pride that Harm would bear.
