~~ Natalie Rogers (Clockwork) ~

Clockwork looked down at her six year old daughter, who tried to figure out the Finding Nemo puzzle.

Her name was Piper Aphrodite Rogers. She was a very beautiful child with the looks of both her Mother, Clockwork, and Father, Ticci Toby. Of course, Piper had never met her father, or any of the other Pastas who lived in the Slendermansion. Not after Toby had gotten angry, and had thrown a violent fit. Fearing for her daughter's safety, Clockwork had fled from the mansion. And had never been seen by the family of killers since.

Piper, as said, was beautiful, even for a six year old. She had dark green eyes, which changed to turquoise blue, to chocolate brown, and all over again, like a kaleidoscope. Her lips were rosy pink, matching perfectly with her lightly tanned skin. She had long, straight dark brown hair, which, was tinted gold, and reached just below her bottom. Her eyelashes were dark and fairly long, somewhat like her legs, which, often made her too fast for Clockwork to catch when Piper decided to run off, randomly.

Unlike other children, Piper took a bit longer to grow and age. She looked four or five, when she would soon be turning seven on Valentine's Day. She wasn't as clumsy as most children, she was more elegant, rarely tripping over anything. However, there were times where Piper would become a bit of a klutz. She had a strange talent for naturally knowing your fears, when you were lying (Most of the time), stealing, picking locks and much, much more. And much like her Father, she ticked when she felt a feeling too strongly, or whenever something really bothered her.

Like her Mother, she had something like a clock in her eye. Not the wristwatch like Clockwork, but in her left pupil, you could see the numbers of a clock and an hour and minute hand spinning clockwise, which, always showed you the time. Unlike either of her parents, Piper had been born with the operator symbol carved into her left wrist, meaning, she would most likely take after her father in the future, and become a proxy of Slenderman. Maybe. Clockwork could only hope that her immortal daughter would never be exposed to the world of immortal killers and monsters.

She doubted that would happen.

Piper suddenly let out a frustrated sigh, along with an angry sounding tic as she ripped apart her halfway done puzzle, throwing the pieces across the room as she slammed her tiny fists down onto the wooden, polished tables multiple times, drawing blood from her delicate skin, and most likely breaking one or both of her hands.

"Pipes, honey, what's wrong?" Clockwork asked, sliding off the couch to be next to Piper, who gritted her teeth with absolute and utter hatred and resentment.

Piper looked up at her mother, her color changing eyes brimmed with angry, salty tears - which, shot down her face like bullets. Wiping a tear away, Piper slammed another part of the puzzle onto the wooden floor, staring straight into her mother's eyes, and spoke.

"How come all the other little girls at school have daddies, and I don't!" She growled, balling her hands into tiny fists, again.

Clockwork's eyes brimmed with tears.

How could she answer that?
