Gloom Chapter 136
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

—Well… because you should be the weird one, and you act like it's nothing. “She” stared at the ground, avoiding my gaze. As if I hadn't told you anything.I tilted my head and was silent for a minute, trying to understand what he meant. When she looked at me again and I noticed her expression, filled with what seemed to me to be nostalgia, I understood what she was talking about."Khaius, I don't think badly of you," I said quietly. What you did... it was a long time ago, and I can't judge you. I don't even know what I would have done in your place."That's the thing," he replied with a more overwhelmed tone. Over time, I realize that those damned ones…” He pressed his lips into a tight line, “even with everything they did, I didn't have to take their lives. That's what led me to this . —He looked at his own hands and made them into fists, so tight that I was able to see the trembling in them from the force of his rage."They were unfortunate people who did something horrible, despica

I swallowed. The knot in my stomach tightened even more.“H-he…” I bit my lower lip.Khaius looked at us and narrowed his eyes suspiciously at her. I moved closer to him so Nat wouldn't hear us.—Your name wasn't Khaius before , right? —I whispered. He denied with his head-. What do I tell them? Pick a name, quick.I noticed the uncertainty on his face as he frowned."Jon," he said under his breath.I turned to Nat without stopping to ask any questions. She raised an eyebrow.“Nat, this is Jon,” I said, waving my hand at them. He is Aiden's friend.His eyebrows rose in surprise."So, Aiden's friend," she replied, nodding slowly. Khaius looked at me strangely, but I was thankful he didn't ask anything. Wow, it's not very sunny where you come from, huh? —I tensed slightly when I saw that he wasn't the least bit amused. Nat didn't even notice. Anyway, let's go now."W-wait," I hesitated, feeling alarmed, "where are we going?""To Ametsa's, " she said calmly."I'll see you later, Amy," Kh

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
