William POV

I wake up in that dark place again where I see deadprice but, it is cold, too cold if you ask me.

William: I know you're here so come out.

I felt a tap on my shoulder then I turned around to see deadprice right behind me.

Deadprice: I have good news and I have bad news for you.

William: what happened to me this time for me to end up here.

Deadprice: I guess I will start with the bad news. You are dead.

My eyes went big as I had a shocked expression.

Deadprice: but your soul lives it's just your body is dead.

William: I don't remember how. What even happened to me.

Deadprice: well fable told me that you got killed by a sorrow beast known as Theo. So I want to make a deal with you.

William: what kind of deal are we talking about.

I prepared myself to hear what his deal was.

Deadprice: I will heal your body as long as you let me own your soul and that I can shape you to my liking.

William: what! Hell no.

Deadprice: it can also include not having to starve for the rest of your days and you can possibly be a part of one And I see that I am walking a void the lost ones.

William: I will not become one of your little playthings you call the lost ones.

Deadprice: you even get to see your parents again.

I was about to say something until he decided to bring that up and I started to think about it.

William: My parents? What do you know about them and how.

Deadprice: I am more interesting that meets the mortal eye and you wouldn't be here if you just stop that little bounty hunting thing on me.

William: so you knew you were a target but you stare at the one that is trying to hunt you down.

Deadprice: and for your parents, I was there from the beginning ever since you were a young child.

William: you have been stocking me through my entire life?

Deadprice: I have but, you're probably thinking, am I the cause of your parents death?

I balled my fist up in a slight hint of anger.

Deadprice: looks like I touched a nerve or did I say too much about something you keep to yourself.

William: you're such a little bastard you know that.

Deadprice: what is it going to be William, are you going to stay dead or are you going to give your soul to me.

I froze for a moment and for the first time I was actually nervous about taking the bounty.

Deadprice: while you think about it. I am going to put in the puppets body.
