There it was, the beginning of the final step of the joining. He could feel her now fighting him, fighting to remain in control. His memory faded back to the time when he joined. The pain, the anger, the feeling of becoming trapped inside your own body. He knew this would come but he hoped that the love she claimed to have for him would make the surrender to him easier. He wished there was another way but this was the way that it is, at least she was joining with someone who loved her whereas for he it wasn't the case. His joining was a forced one with Selina and to this day he still wants her to kill her, but killing her now would weaken the council of elders, but now, now it was a way to win this war! A smile came to his lips.
His attention snapped back to Sky as things began flying across the room, surrendering to her fury. He was going to talk to her but that would only lead to them exchanging blows so he waited for the beat down that would come in time. He felt a pain of emotion ravage through him that he never felt before as he watched her struggling with the joining.
A deep sorrow engulfed him, his heart ached as if someone was gripping it with steel fingers. His gut burned with emotions he never experienced as a vampire before. His eyes darted to her as she spoke to him, her hatred burned in her eyes and for a moment he felt ashamed for putting her through this. He fought against this sorrow and pain, for he knew he did this because he love her, because he wanted her and now all he had to do was reach out and be with her.
He held his hand out to her, his gaze looking into her eyes. "If you love me as you claim. Stop fighting and allow the joining to come. Come be with me Sky. I gave you a promise that this would not be like your past experience. Trust me." he shook his hand toward her, "Just let it come and the burning pain will stop." he wanted this to end for it was tearing him up watching her in this state of being..
