When I had finished my story, Henry and Boris looked at me, with matching expressions of disbelief. "So, you weren't actually trying to sacrifice me to your 'Saviour'" Henry tentatively asked.
"No! I mean, sort of, but it wasn't really me, well, at least in control, if you know what I'm saying"
Henry slowly nodded "I think I understand now" he said. "You're possessed by this demon-thing, and it can control you, right?"
"Right"
"Then why hasn't he controlled you yet? I mean, he's had plenty of chances, you're standing right in front of me"
I think for a second. Then I realise. "I think when he made me summon him, he lost power over me. That's why he tried to kill me. You know, he would have succeded had you not escaped. So I guess I owe you my life."
Henry seemed taken aback by this. Slowly, he motions for Boris to release me, and the wolf takes the knife away from my throat. I breathe a sigh of relief. Boris looked at me and growled "Just because you are free, doesn't mean that I trust you."
I knew that they had no reason to believe me, yet here they were, giving me another chance to do the right thing.
"I swear, I will lay down my life to help you get out of here alive"
