cedar_groveHere is the third of the stories - more a vignette this one... in a rather familiar voice.
Appropriately Disguised
Gently…
She must not suspect, or all of the carefully arranged, meticulously prepared foils and leads will have been for nothing. I cannot fail. The Cause needs her; needs her child. I need—
No!
Her mental defence is weaker now. No, not weaker, but relaxed; loosened to facilitate the bond between mother and child, and that is what I shall use; how I will reach her.
She hears my call; accepts the touch of my mind and believes it to be his – my pawn, my puppet. Was there ever any doubt that using him, using her people, to lure her to me would be a success?
She is nothing if not loyal, and I am nothing if not patient. The stage is set. Everything is in its place.
Now, I wait.
