One week…
It has been one whole week now that I've gone without sleep, my bodies shutting down, I have barely enough energy to stand and eat, but I can't sleep, any time I do, He's there, in my dreams, turning them into twisted nightmares, filling my mind with hate and murder, making me turn upon those who I trust with my life as they do I. The longer I sleep the more of my mind is poisoned with his intentions, he's attempting to take control even now, only my will power has kept him at bay and I'm slowly losing. The others can tell something's bothering me but haven't figured it out, and I won't tell them until I need to. No one knows yet, except her, she's been in my mind and we are now connected, she can sense the pain and I know she's figured it out, like how she's figured out where I hide myself away.
"It's getting worse, you can't hold on much longer." She said
"I know." I replied dryly
"You need to tell him Tyler."
"I was planning on it, I just needed to find the right time, he has too much to deal with as it is, and he's as exhausted as I am."
"But he needs to know now, the mission will take place soon and we need you at fighting capability." She lectured me
She was right, I knew it, she knew it, I was just trying to yet again keep from burdening others, but if I didn't tell him, and then things could get a lot worse for everyone. It wasn't a matter of if, but when would I succumb to the Indoctrination.
"Your right, I've put it off long enough."
"So you'll tell him now."
"Yes, I'll talk to him, but we need to be in private, I don't want to alert everyone just yet."
"Alright, and I'll be here too."
"Ok Samara, I'll let him know."
I got up from my spot on the cold metal floor of the Normandy's cargo hold where I spent much of my time, and walked over to the com unit.
"EDI, can you let Commander Shepard know that I wish to speak with him down in the cargo hold as soon as he can."
"Right away Tyler, do you require anything else?"
"No EDI, thank you that is all."
Going back to my spot I began to meditate, only this time I was joined by Samara, I could feel her put her energy into me, trying to help me fight the Indoctrination, despite are age we were more than capable fighters in both the physical and mental planes, with her help I could keep Harbinger from controlling me for a while still. But everything will come together when we go on the suicide mission.
