Why is it so bloody hard?
In a world full of magic, and healing people, and everything, to bring people back from the dead?
To even talk to someone.
Just once.
For a few minutes.
That's all I wanted.
So why is it so bloody hard to make it happen?
I opened a large heavy volume, slamming the front cover open on the desk with more force than I intended.
Just a few minutes.
I just needed a few minutes to talk to him...that's all.

I jumped when a book was slammed down I looked over and saw someone frantically searching through a book,"Do you need any help finding something?" I asked.

"No, I'm not going to find anything anyway. I just have to look so I can say I have."

"Ok, that's a little strange...well, if you can't find it here then there is always the restricted section."

"Where do you think I got this book from?" I ask her, then return to flicking through it.
"There's got to be something. I just need a few minutes." I say under my breath.

I look down at the books he already scattered. I had seen many of these titles before, "You know, if you want to talk to the dead...you can always die for a while."

I look up at her. "Die for a while?"

"Uh-huh. Make your body think you're dead. Flatline for a while."

"How?" I say immediately.

"You could always drink some special poison, like the one in Romeo and Juliet. Or you could have someone stop the blood from flowing for a while."

"Will you help me?" I ask her, not caring much that I had no idea who she was.

"Depending on how you want me to help you." I say, I mean I didn't even know him.

"Any way you can. I don't know what I'm doing." I admit. "I just-...I need to speak to them again."

"Fine, it may take a while though. Dying isn't as easy as you'd think." I look at him,"Andy Black. You are?"

"Nice to meet you. Before we get this little thing underway, I need to know how close you were to the person you're trying to contact."

"There's two people. My brother, Rowan. And-..." My voice falters slightly. "Erin."

Post by Andromeda Black on Jun 10, 2007 16:26:42 GMT
"Well, I can only help you with one." I say, I knew that she was still alive. It just wasn't my place to tell him. "I'll help you with your brother, but Erin...I'm afraid you'll have to find a way to talk to her on your own."

I bite my tongue so I wouldn't ask why, only because I needed her help and didn't want to ruin it. "Okay."

"I'm going to need some of your blood." I say to him.

"Fine." I say, "You got a knife or your wand on you?"
|

Post by Andromeda Black on Jun 10, 2007 16:38:41 GMT
"Both." I pull out my wand and my knife. I accio a small vile,"Put it in here."

I take the knife, preferring not to use a wand.
I hadn't used mine since killing Nate.
Without wincing, I draw the blade deeply across my palm, managing to fill the bottle three quarters of the way up, "Is that enough or do you need it full?"

"That's enough. Is there anything that you happen to be allergic to?" I take the vile and put the corck on it.

I shake my head. "Nothing."

"Now which way would you prefer to die?"

"The quickest way you can think of. Pain, I don't care. Just not long and drawn out."

Post by Andromeda Black on Jun 10, 2007 17:07:02 GMT
"The quickest one would be the poison. After you take it, the longest I can give you is seven minutes. After that I will have to bring you back."

Post by Ian Hunt on Jun 10, 2007 17:11:02 GMT
"Seven minutes is enough-...I only need to tell him that I'm sorry."

Post by Andromeda Black on Jun 10, 2007 17:15:10 GMT
"Ok. I'm sorry for the pain this might cause you though." I looked at him, "You may not get the closure you are hoping for. Depending on how a person passes on, they can change."
