Chapter 8

Jonas rubbed his hands together. Just three more days and he’d have it all. Not only would he have the woman where he wanted her, but he’d have the pieces of the protectors as well. Fourteen she’d told him. Fourteen protectors at his mercy. And then the grand prize that he’d not even counted on.

He’d been surprised when he entered her dream state and she seemed to be waiting for him. Before he could begin his nightly tormenting, which he had enjoyed more than he’d thought he would, she’d spoken to him.

“I have what you want.” Jonas had asked her what she had and why he would need whatever it was. “The pieces of the protectors. You could have told me what you wanted instead of fucking being so slick. Just say feathers next time. It will make it easier to figure it out and I won’t have to spend time researching for it. Moron.”

“It is not as much fun to just say what you want when you can be…slick, as you called it. And you really do have them? How many?” She nodded and he had smiled at her. “You do remember me telling you that I was not going to honor that part of the contract, don’t you? I have no use for the feathers, and only put it in there so that you’d have hope. I love it when my victims have hope.”

“So you’ve done this before? This taking babies without their permission?” Jonas had nodded, thinking what did he care if she knew that he had taken over two dozen souls this way. “And their parents, what did they say to you when you came to collect? Did they try to renege on the deal?”

“They came as well. Just as your mother will. I make these deals with desperate people, but I cannot let them tell others of my plans. What would happen should others find out about my ideas? Everyone would want to do it.” The woman told him he was a sick fuck. “Why thank you. I do believe that is the kindest thing someone has said to me in a very long time.”

“Whatever. I want one thing from you.” Jonas had laughed. She was in no way able to bargain with him. He was the one in charge, not this slip of a human. “When I come to you, I wish to be there when you show the parts of the protectors to your partner. He should be there just for the jollies of it.”

“I think that can be arranged.” It wasn’t until later—a whole day later—that he realized she knew about Peter. And now, because of the other bargain she’d struck with him, he could not go to her again or the last feather, the one he was excited to get, would not be his. And the lord of all the heavens’ feather was one he wanted more than anything. He thought of the way she’d worded her last demand and wondered several times if she’d had help.
