Chapter 69

She smiled. That serene blinding smile of hers, which he had come to understood was a means of deflecting him from everything that comprised the truth. He knew now, all she had to do was smile that smile of hers, and he would gladly forget the universe.
Fear, Rationality, Life, Death... Everything was meaningless when it came to that smile. Ironic, that it was such a hauntingly beautiful smile, cause for all facts considered, she was a dangerous creature. Yet, this smile of hers just seemed to be designed to put people like him to ease.
"What do you think I am, My Precious?" She asked him, in that chillingly musical voice.
There... There it was again.
That superb deflection of hers. Whenever she couldn't answer with a truth, she always used this tactic of hers... questioning him back so he would feel like an utterly useless moron.
"Why do you always do that?" He asked back, agitated.
"Do what?" She asked, perplexed. It was amazing how he was reacting. They usually weren't this fidgety. He definitely was different in some aspects from his kind.
Usually, they just were too scared to speak anything. Good, she thought, not as scared as the others, he was.
"Deflect. You deflect me."
