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 what do you think about it? Do you still have it on a pedestal?-I have never said that."You don't have to say it," he said, and I thought I detected a slight hint of bitterness. You often go for a walk with him. You even invited the asshole to rest in your basement, and you barely knew him.My eyes widened, feeling the blood pool on my cheeks, but I reminded myself that I didn't have to explain it to him."How the hell do you know that?" I demanded.Had Khaius told him? He highly doubted that was the case. He didn't seem like the type to get into trouble for fun."I always know what you're doing," he murmured, staring straight ahead.I narrowed my eyes in his direction. How was that possible? I hugged myself, confused by that revelation. How could he spy on my actions without physically meeting me?I racked my brain to find the answer. So I rolled up my jacket sleeves on my left arm, exposing the leather bracelet, the only thing the voice in my head suggested."This thing isn't

The living room of my house was completely dark. The only thing on was the television, glowing in the blackness and illuminating the faces of my parents, who were hugging on the couch and covered with a blanket.My mother gave a little scream when I cleared my throat, an act that seemed appropriate with the soundtrack—at an annoying volume—from the TV. I realized they were watching a horror movie and covered half my face with one hand to avoid focusing on the screen. I gave them a forced smile after my father offered me to eat the rolls that mom had prepared. Although my stomach actually felt so tight that I wasn't hungry, I agreed to avoid hurting her feelings and for his peace of mind, and ate just one. They made it easy for me to escape as quickly as possible to the second floor, since they were well aware of how much I hated scary movies, so they didn't protest when I left them alone.I reached the upstairs hallway shuffling my feet and, with insecurity on the surface, I entered m

However, she wasn't in the mood to talk to him about anything now.—None that concerns you.I managed to see how he clenched his jaw, before I turned my back on him to go and lock myself in my room. I sighed, pressing against the wood of the door, looking at my bed as if it were the greatest of all treasures. I shuffled over to her and lay on top of her, my face pressed into the mattress. My body felt like lead.She wasn't sure the exact reason why she was so tired, whether it was because of the long trip to the Forest Park , or because of the peculiar incident afterwards. She didn't want to think about how that made me feel. I didn't want to think about how damn careless I was. I wasn't even able to think about the reasons that led me to it. What the fuck happened to me? The only thing I remembered was the exceptional anger that overwhelmed me completely, and then… a strange need to…I groaned and screamed in frustration into the pillow. The skin on my lips still felt weird and an an

I pursed my lips and tried to give him an answer, out of politeness more than anything, even though I was sure that his belief that his girlfriend and I looked alike was because he didn't know me at all. In my life a boy gave me a gift, since in the short time I was with Dave we didn't manage to celebrate anything. So I racked my brain to find what to say to him; However, he seemed to take my ideas into account and even thanked me with a smile. For a long time, the conversation with him seemed relaxed, until the bell at the entrance rang and customers began to arrive. Although I didn't tell him, I was secretly grateful for the distraction, in ways I couldn't understand. Maybe it was only due to the fact that I was talking to him for the first time, almost half a year after entering there. Or maybe,I didn't see Khaius or Akhliss outside the cafeteria, nor when I finished work. I narrowed my eyes suspiciously as I waited at the bus stop, turning my head sideways, since I was able to se

The almost painful discomfort in my abdomen relaxed. I sighed in relief, and couldn't help but let out a short laugh."Don't worry, mom," I murmured, still smiling at her. It's not what you think. I just… I've only made some friends, nothing more.“What a liar ,” a voice in my mind said, but I ignored it."Good heavens," she sighed in turn, placing a hand on his chest. Her calm also seemed to fill her. I'm sorry, darling. We thought you had a boyfriend and that you were embarrassed to introduce him to us.—Are you dad's spy? —I smiled, as she shook her head—. Of course not. I would never be ashamed of you.My mom seemed to relax a lot. Immediately, she wrapped her comforting arms around her torso."We love you," he murmured close to my ear, "you know that, right?" That will never change. She—she separated from me. The corners of her eyes crinkled as she looked at the watch on her wrist. Plus, she wanted to be the first to greet you.I frowned in confusion.—Oh?He kissed me on the for
