Gloom Chapter 162
Something inside me burned and it wasn't pleasant, so I decided to just focus on him. And why the hell it seemed like we were fleeing from a terrible catastrophe.—And what the hell do you want with me?"I'm not sure," he said through clenched teeth. She doesn't even usually come to Earth, she hates it. She always sends her subordinates in her place. I don't understand what the hell she wants... —She stopped and exhaled exhaustedly."I thought what Azazziel felt was Mabrax's presence..." Saying his name caused a painful sting in the center of my chest, but I made a colossal effort to keep it at bay. I made a mistake."No, you weren't wrong," he snapped, looking down at me seriously. Mabrax was there.I tensed up immediately. I couldn't help but open my eyes in fear.Oh shit ...—Do you think they are working together? The fear in my tone was palpable. S-her and Mabrax?"It's the safest thing," he grunted in frustration. That bastard must have told her about you, and she might have wan

I gritted my teeth and then looked up at Khaius. He looked out of place, too serious, even his breathing was rushed.Why did he seem to fear her so much?“Oh, I know,” she agreed, and I could see how malice took over her features. You're sensitive because Azazziel kissed me, right? —The shocked reaction on my face made her laugh. Immediately, a combination of pain and anger invaded every corner of my being, so much so that I felt the strong impulse to come out of my hiding place, but Khaius put his arm in front of me again to prevent it. I just dug my nails into the skin of my palms. Don't be naive, little girl, what makes you think he's really interested in you, when he has me?My anger was overshadowed by the painful way my chest tightened. She seemed to notice, as the mockery in her smile heightened.—Enough, Naamah. —Khaius's tone was now hoarse and imperative, without a trace of fear in it, such as she had not heard before.She gave him a stern look.—And why do you defend her? —

"No... I can..." he said to me with difficulty, with his teeth clenched and his entire face contorted with pain."Yes, yes you can," I insisted in a small voice. She is responsible for you being here, for you being what you are.—L-I… I owe…—You don't owe him anything! —I interrupted him—. You are not a slave. Not hers, not Azazziel's. From no one! You can decide for yourself!"It's over," Naamah spoke, with a surly and authoritarian tone. Khaius, that's a fucking order. I want you to kill Amy. NOW!The demon next to me uttered another short cry, while wrapping my arm tighter than before. An anguished hiss escaped me.—Khaius, please …He crouched down to one knee on the ground, forcing me to go down with him. She opened her amber eyes, which seemed to shine with an anger she had never seen in him. And yet, I could glimpse in them the struggle that raged within them.I had to appeal to that side."D-don't obey him, you don't have to," I said in a broken whisper, just for him. You can

-It is a joke! —Naamah let out an incredulous laugh—. You too, Akhliss?"You love dressing like a slut, don't you, Naamah?" —She replied, sketching a smile, as she began to advance towards us—. Cover yourself a little, don't you realize you're hurting my eyesight?"I expected more from you," Naamah muttered."Get away from that girl right now, or I swear you'll regret it, bitch." —Amazement crossed me when I perceived the cold and intimidating tone with which Akhliss spoke."Will I regret it?" I grunted in pain as another tug on my hair forced me to take steps back. Do not make me laugh!From our spot, I was able to hear a couple of low, guttural growls, but I couldn't identify who made them.My breathing accelerated extremely. I wanted to do something, I really wanted to be able to cause him harm, but I was aware that I couldn't, that any blow on my part wouldn't cause him the slightest pain. Plus, the coward was totally hiding behind me.A faint and unintelligible murmur, but this t

My eyelids closed, and suddenly I was no longer in the middle of the altercation between the demons.I was in a playground, full of children around me. My body was not the current one, but rather the one that coincided with that time. I knew the place, I kept it as one of my childhood memories. I was in Seattle, the city where I was born, and I knew it was from the time shortly before we moved. Anthony—the little blue-eyed boy with a big smile next to me—was talking to me and playing with some action figures while sitting on the grass, but I couldn't pay attention to him because I was focused on someone else: a man who was staring at us from behind. the end of the park. A tall man, with very pale skin, dark, tousled shoulder-length hair, who was wearing a long black coat. In that vague memory, I was disconcerted, but not because of his strange clothing, nor because of the interested way in which he looked at me, no.It was because of the intense black color of his pupils.I blinked, a

Curiosity crossed my mind when I saw the change in Akhliss's face; His once confident expression faltered and his jaw clenched. At my sides, the two demons also seemed to react to his words, but I wasn't sure.Naamáh took several steps back from Akhliss, who did not stop her. She directed one last look with those strange eyes at Azazziel, and then at Khaius, a look I could not interpret, before transforming his injured body into dense black smoke. In that instant, that unbearable icy and heavy presence that burdened her atmosphere disappeared with her.I gave a sigh that failed to relax me, and I placed my hands on the ground. For some reason, the fact that he was gone only made my unease grow.I watched as Akhliss dropped to her knees and hit the ground, as if the beating she had given the demoness had not been enough to release her rage."Son of a bitch..." she mumbled between her teeth. If the damn thing wasn't so well known, I swear that... —His sentence was interrupted by a growl

"I'm fine," I murmured reluctantly. It's not serious. I will cure myself at home.—Do you want to stop being stupid? "Him," she asked through clenched teeth and stretched out an arm toward me, but this time I did move away.“I said I'm fine,” I lied, in a voice I didn't recognize as my own. She sounded too hoarse. Too full of feelings...I didn't know what he saw in my face that, for a second, made his stern expression turn surprised, but he composed himself quickly."Amy, you should go rest," Akhliss said.A corner of my lip twitched. In fact, I was so sore and tired that all I wanted to do was lie down and forget everything I saw. However, I also had a whirlwind of thoughts that were torturing my psyche, and I didn't know if they were contributing to the headache.—I don't want to go home yet."It's not up for discussion," Azazziel interjected, his tone sullen. I'll take you home.I stared at the ground to avoid looking at him.—I would prefer not."Hey, leave your jealousy for anot

She remained taciturn even when we managed to leave the park. My heartbeat calmed a little as I caught a glimpse of the tall buildings and cityscape. I was sure that at that time it would take us a while to get a taxi, but the company of the devil managed to alleviate that tiny concern. Nothing could happen to me being next to him. But, like the incessant headache, it was not enough to reduce my frustration.The night ended totally different than how it started.Although it never in a million years would have crossed my mind that Azazziel would be at that party, seeing him there had excited me to a degree I didn't even think possible. And now I regretted it. I couldn't help but wonder if this would have been avoided if he hadn't shown up there. Or if, otherwise, perhaps, it would have been worse.An unknown weight on my chest began to make me desperate, and I suddenly felt like I couldn't breathe easily. Akhliss noticed my outburst and put a hand on my back as we stopped on the sidewa

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
