Gloom Chapter 129
"Oh my gosh , I'm so sorry." I covered my mouth to hide my surprised expression, and so he wouldn't notice the blood that suddenly pooled on my face. He had completely forgotten about her window breaking. I wondered how much other destruction I was not aware of that day.- No, calm down. We already fixed it. Her.” She gave a tight smile, and then a grimace. But, Amy, seriously, I need to know. What did you give in return to kick him out?"Claire, r-really, I…" I started to get really nervous, and she noticed it."Amy..." he cut me off and I saw him swallow, "during... that time that he took over my body, somehow I was still there, do you understand me?" And he listened to what they talked about... And the things he thought, I think so. He felt like that.Suddenly, I felt a little dizzy. The blood that had pooled on my face seemed to drain in a flash."Oh…" I muttered, unable to answer.-What did you do? she insisted."Claire...""That day... he thought about it," he said, fixing his e

"It's him …" I heard her mutter, and for a moment I felt so weak that I thought I would end up on the ground at any moment. I was grateful for having put her hand on top of it, because I used it for support.I looked at her in shock, but she was still watching him, her eyes wide and her breath coming fast. However, after a couple of seconds, a completely different emotion took over her features. A huge rage manifested itself in every part of her, in her face and in the way she balled her hands into fists.He took a deep breath... And, without letting me stop him or even protest, he crossed the street in his direction.“Claire!I went after her, but as soon as I caught up with her, she waved me out of the way with one arm, surprising me with the force she used. Her rage seemed to be matched only by the terror that filled me at seeing her so close to the demon."You…" she said through gritted teeth, when she was a few meters from him. What did you do to him?I stepped between them, afra

I sighed as Claire turned and strode away, though she glanced back twice, doubtfully, before leaving for good. I was going in the direction of her house, and that was the only thing that calmed me down.I faced the demon, my fists shaking with the rage that had begun to build within me. Azazziel was still smiling and, to tell the truth, it seemed the scene caused him some humor.-What is your problem? I snapped, and couldn't manage to lessen the anger in my tone. Do you enjoy doing this nonsense?"Absolutely," he said calmly, still smiling.I inhaled through my nose, trying to control myself.“I'm serious, Azazziel, she's been through a lot already. She doesn't need things like this."You were going to tell him," he said suddenly changing the subject, as if it didn't matter, and turning his face severe. You were going to tell him about your soul, right?"And what does that matter to you?"He pushed away from the wall and moved forward until he was right in front of me, very close. Imm

I was curious about the way he drove, with such confidence as if he knew the way perfectly, as if he knew the city even better than I did. Although she also wanted to call his attention to how fast he was going, and she wanted to tell him that there was no rush, that there was no need for him to drive like crazy. But I stayed with my arms crossed and pursed my lips, just watching the streets instead of him.At one of the turns, the roughness with which he turned caused my head to bang lightly against the glass, and instead of deigning to offer an apology, he let out a light laugh. This time I did look at him, anger radiating from my face."Do you want, for heaven's sake, to drive well?" I mumbled.He didn't answer, just stared ahead. I noticed that a wrinkle crossed her brow and that he kept a sterner face than usual, but I didn't dare ask why. In my heart, I was grateful that he was at least paying attention to the road. I sighed and decided to guide my thoughts in another direction.

-So that?His hands trembled slightly as he balled them into fists, radiating frustration."Will you stop asking questions?" She inquired with clenched jaw.I bit the inside of my cheek. She didn't want to listen to him, but she was afraid it could be worse if she didn't.I took a deep breath to give myself courage, and I obeyed. However, after a few seconds my eyes snapped open when I felt someone behind me pull on the elastic that tied my ponytail, undoing it. Immediately, straight hair fell to my shoulders.-Hey! I protested, jumping away. I was startled to see him suddenly so close. Why did you do that?"I need you to relax," he replied impassively, but a second later his eyes narrowed with some annoyance. Listen to me.I clenched my jaw, and wanted to let out a growl. Reluctantly, I brought my eyelids back together, breathing slowly."That's right," he approved quietly, with a pleasant undertone I could rarely hear in him. If he was trying to calm me down, I wasn't going to do it
Gloom Chapter 134
Then the uncertainty that I had recently discussed with Khaius came to me: the reason for the pact. Something she really did want to know, but hadn't had the guts to ask. If this experiment worked, it would be easier for me to try to find out by this means.Although the result terrified me.I wanted him to know, I wanted him to give me an answer. So I formulated the question in my head and, following his instructions, I figured I could expand the doubt to him. That, in some inexplicable and supernatural way, she could make him hear what he was thinking.The question echoed in my head repeatedly, like an insistent voice, and I kept it that way for a period of time that I wasn't able to assimilate.Then suddenly he pulled away from me. I opened my eyes, only to see her take a long breath. She ran her hands through her hair in a gesture full of irritation.-Nothing? I asked cautiously.He shook his head without looking at me. Suddenly, I felt how silence and cold dominated the atmosphere

He didn't flinch. I dug my nails into my palms, feeling the anger that grew vehemently in me burn.-You see it? For things like this I can't trust you! You're a…! I growled. She kept ignoring me. But a second later, still with her back to me, she held up a hand and gave me the middle finger. You are an imbecile! You are childish! You are the worst demon of all!I gave up when I saw that he continued walking, paying no attention to me. Well, he would have to maneuver the treacherous dirt road to try and find civilization. I regretted not having put more interest in the journey. I regretted trusting him. I thought I could trust the signs, although there weren't any in the sector he'd taken us to, and that only alarmed me further.The anger that boiled inside me prevented me from perceiving the cold of the forest. She was so upset, so confused, so stunned by her temperamental attitude, that the intense mix of feelings made it impossible for me to think clearly.Before turning my back to

He found my wrists, which were clenched into fists in his shirt, and grabbed them to direct them toward his neck; Still curious, I hooked them into his hair, surprised at how soft he was. His hands traveled to the small of my back and he dragged me towards him, reducing the scant distance between us to nothing.Doubts crept into my mind.Why didn't it feel the same as before? Why she now she didn't want to push me away? Why did he seem so… pleasurable, so obsessive?Azazziel tilted his head, giving him more access to my mouth, and he suddenly felt even closer than before. The heat emanating from him was overwhelming, stifling, but I refused to move away. With the anger still seeping through me, I tugged hard at the strands of his hair. I caught the vibration in his throat as he let out a hoarse growl, and then he grabbed my hands and cupped them on either side of my head. Suddenly my back was touching the tree again, and his stomach pressed against mine. His teeth caught my lower lip

And the edge of the weapon slid across my skin. I felt the pain as my flesh split open, but I didn't waste any time. I held my hand in the air, over the small mound, so that the drops of blood would fall on it. I stood up and appreciated what I had done. Everything looked like a mess, not at all neat or orderly. It looked like the strange things that weird cults did, it looked like the kind of thing I would never have done before. Then I would take care of cleaning… If I managed to get out of this successfully.I swallowed hard, before taking the book in my hands. My heart pounded against my ribs, but my breathing was slow and labored.«In this way, I invoke you, Demon Alocer, master of black magic. I conjure you. Come and manifest yourself here and now, within this temple that I have prepared for you . They were the words that the book indicated to be able to call him, the appropriate ones to invoke the demon. She wasn't sure I could do it well. I read the inscription, first in my mi

Nat put his weight on one leg, tapping his foot on the ground. She was still waiting for my response."I have an interview on Monday," I told him, and I couldn't help but smile.Her eyes widened, surprised. A pang of nervousness went through me just remembering it."Oh..." he whispered in surprise.We went our separate ways, I stayed on the couch while she went upstairs and stayed upstairs for a while. When she returned to the living room, I raised my eyebrows as I took in the tight, shiny black dress she was wearing, paired with smoky makeup and tall boots that reached above her knees.She stood in front of me and turned around so I could see her completely.-You can see it well?"Oh, yes," I agreed. I cleared my throat, reflecting the enormous surprise that invaded me. So... you're going out, huh? —I prayed that the enthusiasm hadn't come through too much in my voice.This was the opportunity I had been waiting for for weeks.He nodded smiling.“You should go with me,” he said, a ne

I pursed my lips and felt like hitting myself. Nat gave a light, gentle laugh."It's true," I agreed quietly, avoiding looking at him."Your dog is great, girls," he said with a certain touch of emotion that seemed childish to me, "he looks like a real wolf.""It's yours," Nat said, pointing his thumb at me.—Do you mind if I pet him? —Dave asked me.Alexander gave a guttural snort and stepped away, hiding behind me."He's not very friendly," I murmured, slanting my lips apologetically, and he nodded with a slight grimace of feigned horror. He turned to take a look at Diana, who still hadn't finished shopping, and he looked at me again. Her dark eyebrows drew together in a clearly confused expression."Excuse me," he said, flashing a nervous smile, one of those so typical of him, "I think it will sound silly, but... do we know each other from somewhere?" “I feel…” He pursed his lips. I feel like we've seen each other before.The serenity disappeared from me as soon as a strange pang c

My mood was not the happiest no matter how much I tried to change it, mostly because of Nat, since lately she was very determined to scold me if she saw me sad. And she didn't do it in a kind way, since she always related my despondent state to the fact that we had already spent a little over a month without knowing anything at all about the three demons. She got angry when she saw me down and she said that she couldn't be like this, not because of them . Likewise, he also took the enormous job of making sure he never left me alone anywhere.Sometimes I caught her staring at the ground or into the distance while we were doing something, and I knew perfectly well that she was thinking about Khaius. However, when she realized that he was looking at her, she would quickly start talking about whatever. I never saw her cry, apart from the first day when she decorated the kitchen wall with coffee, as if she wanted me to believe that she got over it very easily. But she knew her too well, a

-Are you ready? —Nat asked me.I looked at her with a sunken brow.-You are?She pursed her lips slightly. I saw that the clenched fist she was holding in the air trembled a little."Of course," he answered, but he knew her well enough to detect a note of hesitation in her voice. Come on, at the same time.I nodded.I also extended one arm in front of me, holding the leather bracelet that I once acquired for ordinary purposes, like any other person who buys jewelry, but that I came to use to summon nothing more and nothing less than a true demon.We counted to three out loud, but the first to open her hand was Nat. I noticed her fingers part to drop the rune-engraved silver ring that Khaius had given her, so she could summon him whenever she wanted. A second later, I imitated her and, with my heart hammering as if I were the one who was going to jump from this tremendous height onto the pedestrian bridge where we were, I noticed a dizzying sensation in her stomach.The high meters of

And if my feelings were, then so was Asmodeus and his promise to see us again.I looked at my hands, which now looked as ordinary as they had always been. At this point, after experiencing for myself the kind of things I was capable of, and even though it seemed uncomfortable, strange and improbable, I had to consider the possibility that maybe I wasn't human. Not at all. But if I looked at it from another perspective than I had done this time, maybe that wasn't the most important thing. Because how different could humans be from angels and demons? If we were all originated by the same being, were we deep down so different from each other?The difference was that we had a choice. I could choose.I clenched my fists tightly as I stood up and, taking a deep breath, squared my shoulders.The obsession that they always had, the doubt of my origin, that which dominated them so much was really not interesting at all. For me, not anymore. Because what did matter was what he could do with thi

I didn't realize that Alexander had followed me into the room until I heard his moans. The pitiful sound he emitted managed to bring me out of the rage I was immersed in, and he made me open my eyes. Then, a gasp of pure shock and horror left my lips.My fingers opened and dropped the flower I was previously holding, now in a strange, misshapen and blackish shred from which a row of gray smoke seemed to be coming out.But what…?Even with my eyes filled with tears, I was able to see the faint trace of what appeared to be real smoke emanating from the palms of my hands. I didn't believe it. It couldn't be possible. Either my own sense was deceiving me, or in the end I did end up losing my mind.However, the image disappeared from my sight as soon as panic overwhelmed me.The active part of my brain made me react and I stood up. Out of pure instinct rather than anger, I stepped several times on the black flower from which a faint smoke was emanating. A strong smell burned my nose. The s

I left the room and closed the door carefully, slowly, with a lump forming in my throat. Then, with a heavy heart and low spirits, I walked to my bedroom. Even without having entered, I already knew that I would feel much worse.I would have loved to be able to walk into my own room and be calm, to feel like I was in my personal refuge, somewhere protected and safe from the world. But it was not like that. My chest squeezed violently when I looked from the threshold at my unmade bed, my old desk with my laptop and a couple of books scattered on top, the closet, a couple of clothes thrown away and everything else, as messy as it always used to be... I hadn't even made it a month outside, but it felt like years had passed since I last set foot here. Everything was just as I left it, nothing had moved from its place.So when my eyes eventually came across the nightstand that sat on the side of my bed, I froze. I felt a stream of ice run down my back. And, in the next second, a gasp escap

It didn't take long when, immersed in my own bubble of silence and anguish, I managed to hear Anthony's footsteps down the stairs. I closed my eyes tightly, not feeling ready to face him or face whatever he wanted to say, and I stayed very still. However, not a single word came out of his mouth. He just approached and sat down carefully and silently in a corner of the sofa where I was, next to my head.Anthony didn't learn much; In fact, I didn't tell him anything at all. I didn't have to give him any explanation, he didn't make an effort to find out what he had done those two weeks that I wasn't home. My brother didn't scold me for crying, he didn't tell me that he was an idiot for trusting the wrong guy, nor did he make fun of me like he used to do with every mistake he made. He just ran his fingers through my hair for a long time, like my mother used to do with us when we were children and needed her attention.That gesture alone was enough for me to start crying uncontrollably, so
