Chapter 19

This park would be a nice place to visit before sunset next time, but with her insane life there would likely be no next time.

Siofra stared in shock at the bird looking up at her with dead eyes and tried to find her voice. Was this Mother Cadellus of the stories she’d heard for so many years, the scary witch of her nightmares?

She cringed under the weight of Rory’s confused stare, but appreciated having him with her to face this. She’d been having a wonderful evening with Rory and had hoped the rodent following them from the restaurant had been just like the one on the parking deck where she’d slept ... a harmless natural creature.

But when Rory had asked, she feared putting him in danger more than looking crazy to him. She’d been telling him this might be related to Mother Cadellus when the pigeon walked up and spoke, shocking her into silence.

Rory asked, “Do you know who this is, Siofra?”

“Possibly.” She cleared her throat and asked the bird, “Are you, uh ... ”

“Yes. I am Mother Cadellus.”

Rory cursed and demanded, “What’s this all about?”

The pigeon turned its black gaze on Rory. “Who are you and what business is it of yours?”

“I’m her bodyguard, because people have been trying to kill her,” Rory said, sounding like hired help.

Siofra didn’t want to tell this bird, or Mother Cadellus, anything about Rory either. Instead she argued, “I don’t consider a place I was held captive and had a man forced on me as home.”

Swinging the black eyes back to Siofra, the pigeon said, “They were trying to give you value. Everyone must carry a load in this world.”

Rory’s grip on her shoulder tightened, but he was staying out of this, probably to keep Mother Cadellus talking.

Siofra should have taken a moment to think through her next words, but she was too pissed to think straight. A taste of freedom would do that to someone who’d lived her life.

She leaned forward and snapped, “Carry a load? I was held prisoner from the time I was a child. I had no family. I’ve lived in camps from one location to another with no—”

“Shh!” Rory hushed her as a couple strolled by.

Turning to the couple, the bird began moving around and pecking at the ground in a normal manner.

As soon as the couple walked out of hearing range, Siofra finished her tirade. “I was dragged everywhere and made to live with nothing and no hope for ever having a life. They put me through hideous experiments without my consent then a guard came to rape me to get me pregnant. That is not a life or a home.”

Appearing to ignore Siofra, the bird kept walking around.

Had Mother Cadellus been thinking and needed to keep the bird moving while she was distracted?

Returning to its original spot, the pigeon said, “You will understand more later, but for now you must come back and help us locate Baatar.”

Siofra froze.

Rory asked, “Who?”

This sent the bird’s empty stare to Rory again.
