Morning came and Adrian went to the basement, he had made his decision, he found Meggie was already there.
The demon sat in the corner looking dejected, ' What happened here?' he wondered but didn't ask.
" So, you've made your decision?" Meggie asked and Adrian nodded. She sighed, " I hope you know what you're doing."
Her words made him wonder if she already knew what decision he made but that would be impossible unless she can read his mind.
He crouched in front of the demon and looked straight into its eyes. " I'm going to let you go."
The demon nodded like it had expected that but there was no joy in its eyes which surprised him.
He slit his own wrist and blood came out. " Drink." The demon sucked his blood and he felt its strength returning to its former level, his blood was an antidote for his venom.
Then its eyes flickered with confusion and it looked at him. " The..I can still feel the venom inside me."
