Gloom Chapter 258
—Do they hurt you? I whispered, even though I knew they were centuries old.“No…” A corner of his lips lifted into a weak half-smile. They haven't hurt in a long time.He closed his eyes for a few seconds, frowning deeply. A bit of bravery born of curiosity took hold of me, and I ran my hands down her back, appreciating each scar carefully. Those marks, all of different sizes, felt strange, soft and porous at the same time. A spark of nostalgia ran through me as he caressed those old wounds that were caused in an act of pure evil, not because he deserved them.When he looked at me again, his eyes had darkened several shades and showed a very different look from the fear they had just seen. Now her gaze seemed dangerous. I was able to glimpse, even in complete darkness, how a new smile was drawn on her face.I swallowed.Suddenly, without any warning, he tilted his body above me and ended up next to me on the bed. Hectic, with my chest rising and falling incessantly, I frowned. Now a l

He pulled away from me abruptly, leaving my neck wet and my skin tingling.I forced myself to focus on the demon, even though I could actually see very little of it. His warm breath and mine mixed. In the grayish hue of his eyes there was a dark and unknown gleam, one that I was not able to recognize. The gray amalgam in his pupils seemed to stir—or perhaps I was already beginning to hallucinate—but they gave the illusion of moving in their own orbs. The dance of the different shades of their irises reminded me of the way the flames of the fire moved, like once when I stared at the center of the bonfire during a starry night on the beach, a day when my family and I went camping.But this fire was different, because it was silver and did not come from a simple bonfire, but from Hell itself.At that moment his hands, which were on my back, crawled towards the front of my torso, along my hips, and slowly ascended until they settled on my breasts.My heart stopped automatically.Fear felt

"Please tell me I'm freaking out and you're not making fun of me," he murmured.Maybe it was due to the same nerves that were gripping my stomach, I didn't know, but the volume of my laughter involuntarily increased with that.And then everything happened very quickly.In the time it takes to blink, I went from sitting astride him to lying on my back on the bed. Now Azazziel was on top of me, his hands gripping mine above my head. The gloating he was just able to make out on his face was gone. In those moments, he looked more like the Azazziel from before, the one who used to scare me. The same one who followed me on the street and then scared me to death in the living room of my house. The one who used to be impulsive and temperamental, hurtful and even aggressive, according to the kind of creature he was.Only now, that Azazziel didn't scare me anymore.My smile didn't fade from my face, so he remained impassive for another while. Until, slowly, his lips also sketched a smile.He br

I put my arm around his stomach and held him close to me, although I didn't know how much he could feel my touch.The silence lasted for several minutes, until I began to feel fatigue taking over my system as time passed. I realized he wouldn't talk to me again anytime soon, so I allowed my mind to stop scheming and surrendered to my body's need to rest. His torso was so warm, it was very easy to give up.—Amy. —Her voice brought me back to reality for another second. I shook my head slightly to let him know that she was listening to him… at least, still. I think I'm...I waited a few moments, but he didn't continue.—What ? —I asked (rather stammered). In fact, her tone was so low, that deep down I wasn't entirely sure if she really said anything.I waited for several seconds, under a silence so intense that it became increasingly easy for me to drift into drowsiness.Exhaustion finally overcame me when Azazziel began running his fingers through my hair. Confusion and suspicion came

-Oh please. A hint of irritation crept into Akhliss's voice. You're not going to tell me that it bothers you that I'm here.He narrowed his gaze, and then I caught a flash of resentment in his violet eyes.That lessened my anger slightly.—N-it's not that...Out of nowhere, small hands roughly shook me by the shoulders.-Relax woman! Nat exclaimed, half irritated and half amused. Everything's fine! I'm fine, they are fine. Everything's fine! "She," she repeated happily, and she began to push me towards the room.Akhliss headed to the refrigerator and returned to me. He stretched out a hand toward me who had a beer bottle."I can't," I mumbled, somewhat annoyed. I work tomorrow."A beer won't do anything for you," Nat urged me."Well, considering how little Amy drinks, maybe she will get drunk with a simple beer," Khaius added from further away, with a faint hint of mockery.I felt the pang of an emotion I didn't know how to recognize. It was strange because I rarely saw Khaius joking,

Had they told you that too? How much had they talked? Why was all this happening without me knowing?!I felt frustrated. I gritted my teeth.-What's with that? Khaius asked."Well, being born dead and then coming back to life from nothing isn't something that happens every day," Nat said, as if it were the most obvious thing. Wouldn't that have something to do with it?"We can't know if it was a mistake on the part of the doctors," Akhliss said. There is no way to verify it.—Yes, but the hospital was burned down, right? —Nat insisted.The looks the three of them cast on me made me nervous, so I just cowered in place."It could have just been a coincidence," Khaius murmured, not quite convinced of his own words.—But what if it wasn't? —she insisted, staring at him, with a sunken brow. That is, she is practically someone who was resurrected . Isn't that the answer?—She is not the only human who comes back to life after dying. However, she's the only one who came back… different ,” Ak

A while later, when I finished eating and drinking my only beer, Nat took me to see the second floor. As I climbed the stairs next to the entrance, I could see that there were two rooms that seemed to be quite spacious, and at the back, in the corner facing the patio, there was a balcony. The location seemed unusual to me, but when Nat took me there, I understood what made it special.You could see the backyard, large and beautiful, with a grass that seemed very well maintained, a hammock like the one I had at home and a small round table with chairs. Of course, from the balcony you could see even the sky. I assumed that, on nights where the moon was clear, the view must be beautiful."Hey..." Nat murmured cautiously, leaning on the wooden railing that made it impossible for us to fall down. And, well, moving away a little from everything supernatural and that..., how are you doing? How do you feel?The change of subject made me happy, on the one hand, because of the concern he expres

Now I did laugh hard, so much so that it surprised me myself.A few seconds later, an eerie ice in the air let me know that Khaius was behind us, even though I didn't hear him get up.—Amy, will you come with me? —She asked, making a shy gesture with one hand.I looked at Nat with confusion written all over my face, but she just smiled in response. So I silently followed the demon down the hallway, where the two rooms were separated by an empty space. We passed the first one, and he opened the door to the second one.“Come in,” he said when he turned on the light, giving me a warm smile.-And that? —I asked when I was inside, frowning—. Will Nat live with someone else? Will you live with her? —Unintentionally, my last question sounded somewhat alarmed.Serious.—And why would we have separate rooms? "Him," she shook her head, still smiling. This one is not for me.-So? —I asked cautiously, somewhat suspicious of her expression. She wasn't used to seeing him so happy.—Well, she would
