I stare at the pearl. He's in there. He's calling to me. I feel him reaching out. I grip my hands. He must not get out of the pearl. I know I have to destroy it. He's controlling me. He's poisoning my mind. I run my fingers over it. I know I shouldn't be down here, but I need answers. 

I grip my hands. I know he's in there. I know that I have to destroy it. If I don't, the world is doomed. I'm doomed. How... how can I destroy it? I grab a book from the shelf. There has to be something. There always has to be something.  I flip through the pages. Callum think... think. I have to get through this. He's inside my head. I can't think.

Callum

No... I can hear him still. 

"Please. Please leave me alone." I mutter.

I fall to my knees.

Callum, you are mine.

No...

A human mage, destined to play right into my hands.

Stop it! I grip my ears.

It's only a matter of time.

No... I'll never be used by you again.

"I refuse!" I yell.
