Gloom Chapter 249
—Tell him you love him.A dizzying emotion settled into my system.—What ? —I whispered, doubting my own hearing. An incredulous laugh burst from my lips. Are you kidding me? Don't you think your cousin annoys me enough that you should do it too?Suddenly, a hint of anger surged through my chest. She shook her head calmly.—I'm not fucking with you. I assure. Tell her, and you'll see how scared she is. Works with any daemon."I-I don't..." I stammered, unable to utter a coherent word. The devil laughed at my reaction, which gave me the courage to continue. I don't even know if what I feel is love.It was not entirely a falsehood. In those moments my feelings were so overwhelming, confusing and unreal, that I couldn't—nor did I want to—proclaim it as something specific. They had a reason and a name, but I didn't have enough courage in me to admit it out loud. Much less in front of her… or him.I wasn't strong enough.-You will notice. At some point, when you least expect it, you will k

In the end she put on the channel I wanted and I was finally able to relax and enjoy what I was watching."I usually entertain myself with other types of activities," she said naturally and with a certain trace of surprise with herself. Like having sex with strangers and stuff... But you know what? “She” turned her head towards me and a warm smile spread across her face. This is fun too.I smiled back.Ignoring my mind's warning, I settled on his shoulder. Surprising me, she carefully placed her head on top of mine. It was undeniable that this was not normal at all. Maybe it wasn't even a good thing. But, at this point, did that matter that much?Right now, this felt like a safe place. One where I could let that weight I was carrying rest, and forget about the rest of the world for a while.~*~*~*~I prayed that it wouldn't start raining at that moment. Not when I was on the sidewalk, walking down an unfamiliar avenue toward a place that—I was sure—I had never set foot before.I took

But then, just as I was about to speak, Azazziel leaned towards me and connected his lips to mine. In that simple gesture I perceived such a fervent desire that I was not able to resist and returned it. Immediately, the world around me lost focus and became diffuse and imprecise. The doubts from a second ago turned into smoke when his tongue searched for mine and I felt the light minty taste of his mouth.My heart skipped a beat and resumed its irregular and violent rhythm. I felt his hands place themselves on the lower part of my back to press me against him. I, for my part, raised my arms until they surrounded his neck while he put me on the balls of my feet, as if we were not close enough to him. As if, despite there being no space between us, we were trying to reduce it even more.A growl reverberated in his chest as, in a fit of bravery, I tangled my fingers in his hair and pulled at it a little. His lips parted a couple of centimeters from me, his warm breath mingled with mine.

Suddenly, fear swept over me."So what's going on?"She played with the rock logo on her shirt, in an altered gesture.—I thought you would come alone. It was easier that way... —she pursed her lips nervously—. Shit …I raised my head to see Azazziel. He was still squinting in his direction, but he too had an alien glow, one I couldn't recognize.What the hell was happening? What did he know that I didn't?—Nat, what's wrong? —I urged, already with a clear note of urgency.The caramel-haired girl turned her head back. It took me a second to realize that she had fixed her gaze on a clock hanging on the wall."I'll tell you," he murmured.I opened my mouth to reply. But, at that precise moment, in the middle of the room, a few meters from where we were, something changed the scene.A thick black mist emerged from the air and quickly took shape. My eyes widened when I recognized him. The blood in my body rushed to my feet the moment the amber eyes of the individual who had just appeared

"Amy, it wasn't like that," he said in an unsteady, upset voice. You know she wouldn't do that.He raised his arms as if he were threatening him with a gun, while taking steps back cautiously. The air entered and left my lungs in an agitated and trembling manner. I was almost sure Khaius swallowed.“Amy…” A small hand touched my shoulder. My feet were left dry. I turned around to see Nat's downcast face, and that somehow caused the wave of anger to slow a little. Almost nothing has happened, really. I just didn't want to hide it from you.The pained expression he showed made a strange pang ripple through my chest. I looked back at Khaius, and I could recognize a shadow of the same anguish and guilt that denoted my friend's face.The same feelings, in my two friends... Only one was human, and the other was not.My lips trembled as I was about to say something that didn't concretely form in my mind. I looked at Azazziel, just because I remembered that he was there. But the slight compre

—I'm trying to protect your friend! "She," she snapped harshly, making me jump. The fact that he is barely kinder than the rest does not make him different."That's not for you to decide," I said in a low voice, due to the sudden fright.—I think we should go, and solve it there … —I heard Khaius murmur, and I knew he was saying it to Azazziel."No," I interrupted him, turning to look at him, trying to look stern so that he would pay attention to me and stop his path towards us. We will discuss it here."Nothing will be discussed," Azazziel determined. He is a demon and, like me, he can't feel anything for anyone. —That made me look at him again. Whatever he saw in my expression, it made the hardness of his features weaken slightly, and his tone softened. He's just going to hurt her. And if you really feel affection for your friend, then make her see reason and open her eyes.Suspicion stirred in the center of my chest.I turned my head, only to see the halo of sadness that surrounded
Gloom Chapter 255
The rest, according to Nat, happened very quickly and naturally. I couldn't help but wonder to myself how they could have done it, when Azazziel and I had such a hard time accepting it. Whatever it was, it didn't matter anymore. Not now, when what we had started to build has vanished.In the end, I learned that Nat did know that his name was Khaius, but that he told her that he preferred Jon , because it was short for Jonathan; name he had a long time ago, when he was human.Khaius insisted ad nauseam on leaving me home. Despite everything, his presence managed to cheer me up and at no time could I feel any kind of resentment towards him or anything like that.Before I opened the front door, I turned my head to see him over my shoulder.—Khaius?He started, with an air of curiosity.-Yeah?—If you ever hurt Nat, I'll ask Akhliss to castrate you.He relaxed his shoulders and made a sound that was half laugh, half sigh.—The sad thing is that she would be capable."I'm warning you," I s

A large hand covered my mouth so quickly that, although it was not abrupt, it left me stunned."Stop it," he ordered in a soft tone, so soft that it almost seemed like a plea. Just enough.I removed his hand from my face in a rough movement.“I want you to leave,” I mumbled, and was aware of the venom in my voice. Find somewhere else tonight.Silence reigned for a couple of seconds, until he spoke again.—I don't want to be anywhere else. —At that moment, I saw how he crouched down to get on one knee on the ground and be closer to my height, a little lower. Closer to my face. I don't want to be with anyone else but you.My heartbeats, treacherous as always, went wild due to his proximity. I clenched my fists, feeling even angrier than before."You can't do this to me," I said through clenched teeth. Not after what you said today."I know, I know," he replied with a heavy sigh. I watched her lower her head. I've never done this, Amy. I've never had to watch what I say for fear of hurti
