Convincing

"I am not comfortable in telling the details but the main point is that a few years back something happened due to which I was really scared and I ran away from the magic world and cotton all the contacts with them. I am not really that strong instead I am a coward, I am scared. All these years I have been running away from the magic world and also Cameron. I have hid myself well because I wanted to live a life away from all the chaos. I know I am the one who can kill him but it is not easy, I need to learn so many things to fight with him but the fight that will break out scares me. I feel that if I keep hiding none of this will have to happen."

He didn't say anything instead hugged me and then his voice turned gentle "I will support all your decisions and whatever you decide I will be by your side protecting you but if you keep hiding, he will destroy the world and have you because he is crazy."

I nodded my head "I am scared to go back with the thought what will the people think about me."

"Don't worry just do it and I will be there for you."

I didn't know how to react, it was not that I didn't want to go back those people were like my family but I was scared, way too scared of the consequences. The more I thought about it the more my head turned into a mess and I looked into his eyes to say "Can you just give me some time to think. I have been wanting to go back for a long time but I am scared, I just need some time."

He didn't let go of me instead pulled me closer "You have already taken so many years to think, you can't keep thinking for long. You know what the problem is and if you don't go face it heads on, it will eventually find it's way to you and the problem then will be that you won't be prepared."

His words were so true that they hit right in my heart so I nodded my head "I understand, just give me 2 days to prepare myself."

He let go of me and I sat on my bed as he came to sit next to me, he said "What do you plan to do in the next 2 days then."

I looked ahead of me, my gaze was not focused anywhere in particular, I was just staring into the space and gave a thought to his question. As he must have expected I didn't have any answers but I still spoke "I don't know I will just prepare myself to get ready for everything now that I know I have to do it and I just have 2 days."

He didn't give me a chance instead said "We are going tomorrow?"

My eyes widened and I lashed out at him "You see this is the reason I have been pushing everyone out of my life, you can't just force me to do things."

He smirked and soon I was pushed down on the bed and his head hovered on top of mine as he spoke "Guess what I will force you to do things that are right for you. I want you to be safe and I will do anything to protect you and I don't care if you consider me to be a villain for that."

My heart began to race faster than it ever did before, with his words. I looked into his eyes with anger, I wanted to shout at him and say a lot of things but no words came out of my lips as his presence was scary enough for me. 

He finally got up but I still lay there unable to move as his words had me completely frozen. The past that I had been running from for so many years was about to come and haunt me again. Once I found my voice, I spoke "I had been practicing myself and I have become a lot stronger than I was back than."

He looked into my eyes and his eyes narrowed, I could tell he was completely frustrated and that I had pushed him to his limits. He smiled but it was a dangerous one as he spoke "Oh really"

The way he spoke had my heart racing again with fear and in the next second, he picked me up and jumped out of the window taking me to an isolated place. Everything happened so fast that I could not even gather  what happened and how we reached the place so fast. He made me stand against the tree and finished his sentence "Let's test your skills then."

My eyes widened in shock "Are you gonna att... " I could not even finish my sentence when a sharp blade was throw my way so I quickly snapped my fingers and the blade disappeared, I looked around and James was not in sight too. I had a terrified look on my face as more blades came my way and I quickly made them disappear. Soon the number of blades increased and I kept dodging them all. 

After a while they stopped but I knew this was not it, he would not stop until he proved that I was weak so I remained alert. I was scared by the thought that he was trying to kill me. 

While I was looking around a pair of arms wrapped around my stomach from behind and his fangs pierced the skin of my neck, I knew it was James but I was not sure why he was doing this, his grip was so firm that even with magic I could not break free, he entangled his fingers into mine to stop me from doing and magic and pierced my skin deeper until a scream left my throat. 

He finally stopped and turned me around to make me look into his eyes now holding my waist, he spoke "Now what was that skill and at what point were you going to start defending yourself."
