“Are you going to kill me?”

“No. But the men that are after me, they'll kill you just because you were there with me. I'm trying to help you, Emery, I really am. I just need you to trust me on this.”

How could I tell him no?

He held my life in his hands, he had the power to destroy me, or save me .

What choice did I have?

If the men that came after him would kill me too, then I had to trust him.

And that trust, it had to start somewhere. I'd like to think I saw the good in him last night.

He helped me when he could have left me.

He carried me when I grew weak.

He saved me once already.
