Gloom Chapter 190
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

-I'm sorry! Alright? I let my face fall into my hands, praying inside that he would understand. Sorry, shit … Sorry.-You feel it? For all the…” I heard her gasp of dismay and raised my head to look at her. I should have been with you. Maybe…maybe it would have helped you. She would have advised you. She would have told you not to give your soul to save that girl. She would have done something …“It wasn't your fault,” I interrupted her, although my tone wasn't as firm as I wanted. There was no way you could have prevented it. I did what I did because I decided to.I saw him swallow hard. She gave a ragged sigh, as if something in his chest was preventing him from breathing properly.-Because you? —She whispered.I shook my head silently, slowly shaking my head.-Don't know.—Amy…, you are important to me, more than many other people have been. And I don't like this, I don't like it at all. I never want to feel the same way I felt when Dad died. I never want to feel a loss like that a

—You're a terrible friend, Dave! —My voice sounded strange, in a way I had never heard before. David's laughter on the other end of the line was barely perceptible amid the noise of the bar's busy music. You reject my invitation and now you make fun of me?David laughed loudly again, which, for some reason, made me laugh too.—Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, but I've never heard you drunk, Amy.-I'm not drunk! Well…, not yet. —We laughed again in unison—. I'm just...I'm just happy. That's very strange, isn't it? The happiness. It makes you forget about problems.-That? “He,” he mocked louder. What the hell are you talking about? What are you drinking?—Come on, Dave! Come!“Woman, leave the boy alone,” Nat intervened with a huge smile, next to me on a stool."But I want him to meet you..." I insisted, still with the cell phone pressed to my ear.“I'm sorry, Amy, but I can't come,” David lamented in my ear. I have to study for next week's exams... Maybe another day.I gave a sigh before
Gloom Chapter 194
My vision soon became so hazy, that everything around me looked comical; I couldn't stop laughing at everything . Every time Nat spoke to me, her lips seemed to move slower than her words came out and that simple fact made me laugh. When Tyler noticed my state, he said he should stop for a while.—But I'm perfectly fine! —I protested, although I didn't pronounce any words correctly.—God, you're so drunk! Nat exclaimed. Suddenly, she reached for support on the bar and stood up. I'm coming."You know," Tyler said, smiling, "the first person to throw up pays for everything."-I did not lose! I'm just going to pee.—I didn't want to know that.A boisterous laugh assailed me."I swear I'm not going to throw up..." Nat held onto the bar and walked past me to head to the bathroom, but before he walked any further, he turned around and gave me a knowing smile. Not yet.Tyler had once again shaken the metal glass in which he prepared the drinks. The quick movement and skill with which he pour

“I sat on it,” I lied, but then shook my head. I wasn't supposed to remember any of that by now. Today I had to forget everything.In reality, it was just cracked by a line on the front and I figured it wouldn't affect the photo so I could transfer it to my laptop later.I pointed the camera at her, but Nat scowled at me."Not alone," he objected. Both, or else, no.I grimaced slightly. Honestly, I didn't like taking photos. I loved having the people I wanted in the gallery on my phone and my laptop, I saved my entire family, even some of Diana's. He never revealed them; I just liked having them there.Before I refused, Tyler came to us.—I'll take them one. —He took the cell phone from me and held it in her hands, pointing toward us—. Smile, let's see, make a "duck mouth."Nat pressed herself against my side and rested her head on my shoulder. The only thing I could do was laugh like a fool when the flash blinded me."Damn, Tyler, I closed my eyes," she complained."They're terrible

I looked away from them and closed my eyes tightly. I was aware that my breathing and heartbeat accelerated extremely.What the fuck were they doing here?!"I-it's nothing," I muttered.-Let's say it…"Amy, go with Nat to the bathroom," Tyler suggested, "you'll feel better.""I'm fine," I replied, opening my eyes to try to give them a reassuring smile, although it probably came out with a very strange expression."Hey, Ty..." One of the waiters called him, insisting on an order that he wasn't preparing."Yes, right away," he replied, but continued leaning toward me. Amy, you look pale. Come one please.I shook my head."Go," I said, "don't neglect your work."He looked at me with unease etched on his face, but nodded and turned his back on Nat and me. Then when she walked away again, she became attached to me."Hey, tell me what's wrong, seriously," he pleaded in a whisper."I-in the corner," I mumbled in a low voice, unable to look at her face.There was no point in hiding it from hi

"So you get brave with a little alcohol," he murmured. I didn't miss the menacing edge in her voice.“Azazziel…” Khaius whispered cautiously, as if he were warning him of something, but he barely looked at him.—Why don't you go back to Hell? —I spat. Azazziel's eyebrows rose in shock, but I didn't stop. I could n't do it. I want you to leave me alone.The amalgamation of gray tones in his pupils darkened. However, far from causing me fear—as it always did—a brief laugh escaped my lips; His, however, twisted into a grimace full of rage.“Amy…” I didn't look at him, but Khaius used the same admonishing tone as before with Azazziel.Someone shook my arm in a gentle but urgent motion. I tilted my head to meet Nat's wide, frightened eyes. The image hit me like I'd been hit with a hammer, and it made me react immediately.I couldn't be reckless, not now. I had to control myself for her. As much as he wanted to confront Azazziel, he couldn't put her at risk for it... Or any of the clients

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
