Slowly I worked on pushing a bit of my essence into him while also pulling his away. It was very hard to do. My instincts where telling me to speed up and just do it already. My mind and body were trying to finish this before he had a chance to attack me and hurt me for being to careful.
I pushed those thoughts away and focused on what I needed to do. I reached a spot that felt amazing and what looked like a door appeared in my mind. Very odd but I tried the handle of the door and it turned but would not open. I tried pushing gently and it wouldn't budge. I checked the door and didn't see a single lock on it anywhere but I could clearly tell that something was holding the door shut. I took a step back and really looked at the door. Noticing that it could open either way as it looked like the hinges would allow it to be opened by pulling rather then just pushing I reached out for the door handle and decided to pull instead of pushing. The door started to open up a bit. I could feel panic and terror as well as resignation leak through the crack of the door.
"Hello?" I called out in my mind. "Is someone there? I am here trying to help you. Will you let me in?"
"Go away, " Said a voice. "Let me die already. I don't want to live and will follow my prophecy that was given to me at my birth. So just GO AWAY!"
At that last bit I flew back away from the door. That force was extremely powerful and I was going to have to win against it without breaking it in order to save his life. It was clear to me now that it was Micheal that I was up against here and this was the part I was warned about. If I broke his spirit I wouldn't have to fight against it but he wouldn't be able to use his powers to the fullest like I wanted him to be able to do. I took a few deep breaths and reminded myself that I could do this. I was going to save his life and do it gently no matter how much he fought me. Would I win? I HAD to win. Everything was counting on this and me succeeding.
"Are you Micheal? May I come in and speak to you? I will just talk to you. There are somethings I would like to ask you." I asked in a calm tone of voice.
"I don't want to talk to you, I want to just die already but you are keeping me here. I feel your life force pushing into me, you are like a virus and I want you gone so I can die in peace.
He replied. "So go away!!!"
"Let me in and ask my questions, if after I am done you would still rather die then so be it. I will stop and leave you alone so you can die in peace." I replied back.
"Get in if you can I will not attack you but I will keep pressure on the door. If you can break through that then I will talk to you and actually hear you out. You are not strong enough though to get inside so I will not have to talk to you. Now hurry up and fail already." He said out loud.
I knew I could do it as I had already opened it a crack. The door could be opened, I just had to be gentle but strong and firm. Trying again I pushed on the door but it didn't budge. I then decided to pull again and this time I pulled with all my of my strength. The door started to open again but this time it was opening more then a crack. I felt his panic start to increase and once I got the door halfway open, I moved my foot inside the door to try to hold it open while I adjusted my position so I could pry it open the rest of the way. His panic and fear was coming through so strong.
"Go away, I don't want you here. You are supposed to fail. Why aren't you failing? I don't want to be a vampire. I want to die." He said completely in terror.
He lashed out again and attacked me and this time it actually cut me since I was partially in the door. I felt my strength start to give out and knew that if I didn't do something that the door was going to crush me and I would die as well as he would die.
Reaching out in my head I searched for a link to something that I could use to recover my strength. I found Cain but noticed that he was still weakened from before. I found Georgina but I could tell it wouldn't be enough to help as she was too far away from me right now. Then I found Max who was right next to me, I pulled on him and then bond went from a thin thread to a full all out rope. I also felt something that seemed like pleasure but I brushed it off for the time being. My strength was returning and that is what mattered right now. I got it open just a touch more and in my view I was Max appear and grad a hold of the door. It was just enough for me to slide the rest of the way in.
"No, go away!!!" He yelled full of fear, panic and flat out terror.
I watched him drop to his knees and start shaking his head slowly while still mumbling no, no, no, I don't want this over and over again. Upset a bit I was not so gentle with my words here much to my regret.
"What did you think you were doing? You could of killed me in the process with your attack that you said you would not do again. I am currently injured and bleeding from that attack. What the hell Micheal. You said you would listen to me and answer my questions if I got through your door. Was that a lie too? Listen I am trying to help you out and still leave you for the most part still who you are. I need you to work with me here and stop fighting me." I said in a hot tone of voice.
"I told you what I wanted, now just leave me alone."
"OK, its time I ask my questions but I can feel I don't have a lot of time because of the injury so listen up and answer me fully. Keep what honor you have left if you can." I said annoyed.
