One's True Origins (Hero Stories)/Part 1

It was a sunny day over the forest and all the Smurfs were gathered at the bank of the River Smurf. They were all enjoying the sunny weather, until Smurfette spotted her daughter walking across a tree branch, just above the water.

"AHH!" Smurfette screamed, "Miracle! Smurf down from there! You're going to hurt yourself,"

"Let her have some fun, Smurfette!" Hero said, "Don't worry, Miracle! You'll be fine," he shouted up to her.

"Thank you, Papa Smurf! I love you," Miracle shouted back, before she raised her arms and performed a cannonball into the water. The male and female Smurfs of her generatation applauded wildly, as did her uncle Smurfs and auntie Smurfettes.

"See, Smurfette? Miracle's fine," Hero told her.

"Are you sure, Hero?" Smurfette asked.

Miracle then climbed out of the pond. With her back turned, she shook out her wet hair.

Smurfette sighed with relief as she saw that her daughter was unharmed.

As Miracle played around in the water, she could hear a voice in her head.

"You belong to me! You belong to me!" the voice said.

Miracle held her head, and soon she saw her skin changing from Smurfy blue to ghoulish grey and her hair changing from blonde to midnight black. She smirked evilly, before she faced the other Smurfs, and started to attack them with energy attacks.

"RUN FOR YOUR SMURFS!" Brainy shouted.

"Miracle's been smurfed!" Handy shouted.

"Hero! What's happened to Miracle?" Smurfette asked.

"I don't know, Smurfette! But, I'll deal with this, you smurf back to the village with the others," Hero said, before he headed towards Miracle, who was having fun throwing energy attacks at the other Smurfs.

"MIRACLE!" Hero shouted. Miracle faced him, Hero noticed the evil smirk on her face.

"This is your Papa Smurf! I know the daughter I love is in there somewhere, you just have to smurf it out," Hero said.

"Shut up, old Smurf!" Miracle snapped.

Hero was shocked to hear this from his own daughter, but realised that something must have possessed her.

"Miracle! I know your willpower is strong! You just have to fight it," Hero said.

"I said, SHUT UP!" Miracle shouted, before she launched a small energy attack, which went right through Hero's heart, the force which sent him flying right in front of the other Smurfs.

"HERO!" Smurfette screamed as she ran to him, "Hero! Can you hear me?" she said as she shook his shoulder, but to no response, she soon noticed the fatal wound on the left side of his chest, "He's... he's dead!" she said, before she broke out in tears.

Miracle landed just in front of them, Smurfette looked up and seen the evil smirk on her face, and that she was also ready to launch another evergy attack.

"How could you smurf this, Miracle?" she asked, "You killed your own Papa Smurf!"

Miracle just laughed, before she decided to end it.

Before she fired the attack, Smurfette managed to say a few last words to her which were, "I love you..." before Miracle fired the attack, which engulfed every single Smurf, along with the village.

"Well done, my creation!" the voice in her head said.

...

"AAHHH!" Miracle screamed as she awoke. She bolted up in bed, wide-eyed and sweating before she started to cry. The sound of her crying caused both her parents to suddenly awaken.

"Smurfette! Wake up! Miracle's crying," Hero said, as they got out of the bed and went over to Miracle's bed.

"Oh Papa Smurf." Miracle cried, lunging forward and throwing her arms around him.

"There, there, It's okay. Papa and Mama Smurf are here," Hero said, as he put Miracle onto his lap and allowed her to cry against his chest, "Smurfette, Can you smurf me a hankerchief from my bedside drawer? he asked.

"Sure!" Smurfette said as she went to get a hankerchief from Hero's bedside drawer. She quickly came back over.

"Look at me, Miracle!" Hero said. Miracle looked at her Papa Smurf, who proceeded to dry her eyes and nose with the hankerchief.

"Now, what's wrong?" Hero asked.

"I smurfed another horrible vision, Papa Smurf, This one felt so real, " Miracle said.

Hero held her close to him, "Can you tell us what smurfed in this vision?" he asked her.

Miracle shook her head in refusal.

"Please tell us, Miracle!" Smurfette said, "If you don't tell us, then we won't be able to help you,"

"Okay... well the vision smurfs that we're all smurfing fun at the River Smurf, and I smurf from a tree branch into the water, and I soon seen my skin become grey, my hair become black, and I felt no happiness, just the feelings of being evil, and then I smurfed every Smurf, including you two," Miracle said.

Smurfette decided to take Miracle into her arms, "There, there, it's okay," she said with motherly love in her voice.

"I could also hear an evil voice!" Miracle said.

"A voice?" Hero said sounding confused, "What did it say?"

"It said "You belong to me! You belong to me!" And In my first vision, I could picture myself being raised inside a cauldron and as soon as I opened my eyes, I could see an evil wizard before me, he wore black clothes, had buck teeth and had hair around the middle of his head! It's like I feel connected to him, but I smurf no idea who it is," Miracle said.

Hero and Smurfette looked at each other, for they knew who Miracle was describing.

"It can't be? Can it?" Smurfette asked.

"Definitely not! He's been dead for years!" Hero said.

"Who?" Miracle asked.

"Gargamel!" Hero and Smurfette said in unison.

"Gargamel? Who's Gargamel?" Miracle asked.

"Gargamel was a evil wizard who smurfed near our forest long before you were born," Hero explained, "He always smurfed after us in order to either smurf us for a formula or to destroy us."

"He... he also created me to smurf your hearts and to lure you all to him," Smurfette said, sounding like she didn't want to say it.

"He created you, Mama Smurf?" Miracle asked, not believing what she was hearing, "But... I thought you were a naturally born Smurfette."

Smurfette shook her head slowly and told her it wasn't true.

"So... I guess this means that I'm not a real Smurf after all?" Miracle asked.

"You are a real Smurf, Miracle!" Smurfette said, "You were smurfed naturally into the world and not through magic,"

"But listen, Miracle! As long as your heart remains pure and full of goodness, then nothing unsmurfy will happen to you," Hero said with fatherly love in his voice.

"I don't know, Papa Smurf!" Miracle said.

"Don't worry, Gargamel will be of no trouble to you, we've been smurfing peaceful lives ever since he smurfed away," Hero said.

"You really think so, Papa Smurf?" Miracle asked.

"Of course," Hero said.

Miracle smiled as she hugged her parents, and went to get changed.

"I'm slightly concerned for her, Hero!" Smurfette whispered.

"Me too, Smurfette! We might to keep our eyes on her incase if anything does smurf," Hero said.

"But we need to remember that we have to smurf a party for her 70th birthday tomorrow," Smurfette said.

"That too! Let's just focus on planning her party, while also keeping our eyes on her," Hero said.

"I think it's best if we told both Papa Smurf and Mother Smurfette about the visions Miracle's been smurfing," Smurfette said.

"This smurf agree's with you, just to be on the safe side," Hero said.
