Corporate Contract
"Suit yourself," Lucas said, with a shrug. "If you think I'm going to be impressed by your stoic silence, you are sadly mistaken.
"Honestly, I was hoping you would plead for your soul. It makes my job so much more enjoyable. Not to mention you idiot mortals usually give me all sorts of contractual loop holes I can exploit to obtain even more souls... but, no matter. You'll be a soulless husk soon enough, and I can certainly use that to my advantage. A second puppet to use in my schemes will be very helpful here... why, with enough planning, I might even be able to obtain Connor's soul!
"But I digress," he said, cutting his monologue short. "It's not like any of this is relevant to you. Your brief span of life on this planet is about to end." Jake felt a shortness of breath and a sinking, hollow feeling in his stomach when Lucas pulled the jar away.
"Say goodbye to your last moments of consciousness, Jacob," he said, his grin growing ever wider. Lucas pressed his fingers against Jake's forehead, and he felt his body go completely limp out from under him. The world had faded to black before he had even hit the ground.
