Gloom Chapter 184
My heart shot up in impetuous beats.—Y-you mean "near . " —My voice sounded trembling. Unstable … I cursed myself for showing myself like this before him.A hoarse, short, mischievous laugh burst from his lips."On top, close... Or you on top..." I perceived his smile in my ear, and I knew he said that with all his evil. The order doesn't matter too much.Anger condensed at the center of my being like a cyclone and I wanted to tell him I was an idiot for saying something like that. But frankly, I was much more bothered by my own reaction, because I knew I wouldn't have cared before; Now, however, I was aware of how my stomach clenched violently at those words.I was quite upset that my back was so close to his torso, so I turned around. But as soon as I did it, I regretted it. The first thing my eyes caught was the bare skin of his chest, and I couldn't help that image causing an irregular movement in my heart. I looked up, and whatever he saw on my face made him crack a half smile w

And, with this decision I had made, I was favoring his loneliness."I need to talk to him," I said quietly.Azazziel narrowed his eyes and, as if what I said had been something crazy, wrinkled his brow. Immediately, he stood up and relieved me of the pressure of him being so close.-So that?“Just…” I mumbled and shook my head. I want to see how she is. And I can't summon him, so could you tell him?—And do you think I'm your damn messenger? —She replied with an almost aggressive inflection.He turned his back on me to leave the kitchen and head towards the living room. On her journey, I couldn't help but notice that her gesture was something taken away. Just as I couldn't ignore the long, irregular marks on her skin, those that wings or clothing used to hide. The only flaw in her body.-You will not do it? I asked, hurrying to follow him.-No.-Why not?-Because I do not want to. I was about to retort, but he turned to face me and continued, “You're getting off track.” I didn't come

Azazziel didn't respond, so I forced myself to look up at him. His countenance had turned stern once more, but she didn't seem to be directed at me specifically; His eyes were fixed somewhere on the ground, lost in his own thoughts. His posture had stiffened noticeably."Tell me it's normal, please," I begged in a whisper.He couldn't stand anything else, couldn't stand the fact that there was a possibility that he had a new hidden ability that he didn't have the slightest fucking knowledge of. He moved his head slightly towards me and weighed my words for another minute.—Are you sure you saw Akhliss and Khaius in your dreams? —She asked in a sullen, but calm tone. Without getting upset.For some reason, that made me even doubt myself.-I think so.The demon leaned back against the back of the sofa, letting out a long sigh."There are humans who can have premonitions," he explained quietly, still not looking up at my face. It's not common, but it usually happens. I dropped my jaw, no

I saw him out of the corner of my eye. Somehow, I couldn't help but think that something seemed different about him since the last time I saw him, that day on the bridge. Of course, there wasn't the slightest change physically, but even so, it didn't look the same. He was sitting next to me, not looking at me and, for some reason, he seemed very distant. He seemed completely indifferent to my closeness… And, I didn't know why, that made me feel strange."Akhliss came the other day..." I said quietly."I know," he murmured wearily, pressing his eyelids together for a second. A minute later, she tilted her head to look at me, and one corner of her lips curved upward. I told her that you no longer wanted to see her, and I understand that she gave you a lecture.I grimaced with slight bitterness. Did those two tell each other everything?—It wasn't exactly that.—What did he talk to you about? —She asked, keeping her expression, without worrying at all."Several things..." I murmured, shr
Gloom Chapter 188
I tightened my lips to control myself, in a colossal attempt to try to keep the sharp pain that coursed through my chest at bay.—And... what about what was happening between you and me?"It was a mistake," he said in a clear, hoarse, sure voice, without the slightest hint of hesitation. You were very sensible in finishing it, and to tell the truth you did me a favor: you were right, I was deviating from my original intentions. I was losing track of the real reason why I'm doing all this, just because of a petty attraction.I swallowed hard to try to clear the lump that had formed in my throat.—So... what happened didn't mean anything? —My question was a barely audible whisper, but I didn't care because I needed him to say it. I needed to hear it from you.The demon had a frown and a severe look, but he didn't give me the impression that he was feeling any emotion, he was simply serious. He did not exude the slightest remorse, nor any other alteration."I don't feel anything for you,
Gloom Chapter 189
The caramel-haired girl was sitting at a small square table in the corner, looking absently at the crowd with a frown and a somewhat strict expression.I reached his side and stood there, still, not knowing what to say to him. She looked up and narrowed his eyes at her.-Hello. —My tone sounded so sullen that I surprised myself, but I maintained my firm stance."Hello," he said back, almost with the same nuance. Immediately, she made a nod, pointing to a glass with a brown liquid and ice floating in it. I asked you for an iced tea.Something strange stirred inside me. Nat was so sure I was coming, that she went out of her way to order something she knew I liked. At that moment I realized that, perhaps, she knew me more than I thought.Not sure what else to say, I bit my bottom lip awkwardly.—Do you want to sit down? She offered, but there was nothing kind in her voice, so she sounded more like an order. I looked at her seat in front of her as if it were the hardest of obstacles, and,

Nat rubbed his face again in anguish and I could see how he was swallowing hard, as if he had a lump in his throat. I could see that the corners of her eyes were a little red—like never before, she wasn't wearing makeup now—perhaps because she was very rough with her hands. Or because she was simply holding back the urge to cry.-And then? —I asked in a whisper, although deep down I was very afraid for whatever was coming.She bit her lower lip and, for a second, seemed hesitant to continue. But she did it:—Another woman approached him, but she had dark hair and, I don't know..., she kind of looked a little like him. She—she frowned in slight surprise, and she shook her head—. And the two of them almost ran away. “I didn't know where the hell you or Jon were, so I stayed there…” He took a minute to breathe, trying to calm himself. I couldn't breathe normally. The pounding of my chest continued to be hurried. Amy, I've read so many things, I'm so obsessed with all these topics that I

Surprise and anguish equal magnitudes within me. I didn't comment anything regarding his last confession, because I calmed down with that "almost."—I knew you weren't in danger with them around, as long as you didn't know the truth."I know," he whispered, pursing his lips. I know you would have protected me if something happened, but… Shit! His cursing of her made me jump slightly. Why didn't you tell me? Why you did not tell me anything? I thought... I told you about my stepfather, damn it.Suddenly, his expression changed from upset to resentful."It's not the same, Nat." I shook my head. Please understand…—I never told anyone, and I told you! "She," she interrupted me with exasperation. Why couldn't you tell me something like that?—Because when I found out about all this, I almost went crazy! —I didn't know why I exploded like that. The girl in front of me widened her eyes and leaned back slightly. "Everything I believed in went to shit, Nat." I lowered my tone, but she continu

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
