Gloom Chapter 307
I couldn't stop looking at him. I couldn't help but be enchanted by the expression he had, by the caresses of his hands, the deliberate way in which his nails grazed my thighs, the infernal fire of his skin, the way in which his thrusts and his face seemed to manifest the pleasure that extinguished that thought he once had of me. From us, from humans.I grabbed a hand on the back of his neck to pull him towards me and join my lips with his.I wasn't thinking correctly. My head and body were disconnected, I was only able to feel . To feel him. Of absorbing myself in the thousand emotions that were destroying my sanity.To realize how lost I was for him."I love you..." I whispered with a high-pitched, unrecognizable voice .Too late, I couldn't stop the words that came out of my mouth.Too late, the weight of what I had just said fell on me like a bucket of ice water.His eyes opened to meet mine, but instead of stopping as I thought he would, he increased the pace of his thrusts, with
Gloom Chapter 308
The veil of drowsiness began to leave me when the thunderous sound of an alarm reached my ears. A pout tried to come out of my closed mouth, shrill and insistent music, which I recognized from my cell phone, kept playing too close.Without opening my eyes, I reached out to grope the screen of the device and turn it off. Almost unconsciously, I frowned, seeing a murky confusion. But it wasn't until a few seconds had passed that I realized that I hadn't left my cell phone on the bed. I remembered—vaguely—that it was in my bag, on the first floor. That was where I had last seen him.It was like someone else had put him next to me on purpose.A strange feeling slowly began to emerge inside me, but I felt so tired that I was unable to assimilate it for several minutes. I wanted to continue sleeping, I was exhausted. I wasn't even sure exactly what time I fell asleep. The only thing I remembered was that, at one point, I fell exhausted on the bed, without energy; trembling, but at the sam

My own face awakened a feeling in me that I didn't know how to recognize, but I didn't get distracted by it. My dark eyes traveled directly to the scar on the highest part of my forehead, the one Naamah gave me that time he confronted Akhliss in the park. Even though she was already completely healed, she could be perceived as lighter than the rest of my skin. My eyelids were barely tinted with a slight darkening tone, but I could have attributed that to having not slept much... The wound on my lip was also healed, it was only noticeable if someone got too close to me and I could easily cover it with makeup.But it was the tiny opening that had permanently changed the shape of my eyebrow that worried me. I bet the scar would make me miserable every time I saw it. On the other hand, my appearance, although not the best, was decent enough to show up for work. And I only felt sore because of the physical effort last night, not because I had injuries. I had no excuse. Much less considerin

“Like a diva,” Nat murmured, a slight fear evident in his inflection.Akhliss nodded, an unknown glow in them. An uncomfortable weight settled in the center of my torso. Nat and I looked at each other for a couple of seconds, before she looked away.I was sure he could see the fear on my face."I'll make you something," Akhliss said, standing up, and placed the now empty glass on the surface of the table where she was next to Nat. Stop tormenting each other for a while, okay? I swear we will fix all this shit.I frowned. She had the strange feeling that something didn't fit. Why did she now look so… calm? Why did she now look like it wasn't a big deal, when the day before she had seemed so upset?I went to put on my uniform while Akhliss prepared us something to eat. When I returned with them, the atmosphere still felt somewhat tense, it even remained that way as Nat and I silently ate the toast they had made for us. The three of us were gathered at the kitchen bar, although only she

An overwhelming unease was wreaking havoc inside me. And I've been feeling that way for quite some time now, since the last day we had breakfast with Akhliss at Nat's house, to be exact.Just the day after he left, without even saying goodbye.I couldn't get the gloomy images that my imagination created out of my head. I couldn't stop imagining them in horrible scenarios, in deplorable conditions. He was unable to stop thinking that something very bad had happened to them. And it was unbearable.I had said Azazziel's name more times than I'd like to admit. I had asked for him out loud, in a desperate attempt to get him to appear in front of me, even for a fucking minute. Even if it was just to say that he was fine and to stop fucking bothering him. For him to come and point out that he, Akhliss, and Khaius were fine, that Nat and I were just exaggerating.I swallowed, appreciating the lump of anxiety that had formed in my throat.Even Anthony noticed how down I was. During what now

—Are… are you okay? —I muttered and, to my regret, I felt a foreign emotion make my chest tighten.“Of course I am,” he replied, still smiling, completely oblivious to my growing shock. Who could do something to me?—B-but Nat and I have tried to summon them and you didn't..."We had to settle a matter that has nothing to do with this," he interrupted me, gently shaking his head, with a slight grimace. We couldn't come. Besides, with Mabrax dead, we knew you were safe, and that was all we cared about.—But what about Akhliss? And Khaius? —I insisted stubbornly.His arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer to him in a random movement.—They're fine, Amy. “They both are,” she assured under her breath. I studied her calm face, and took a deep breath in an attempt to calm my outburst. I shook my head. At that moment, the mask of confidence on his face faltered and I could feel a feeling of uncertainty take over him. You are angry?My own face showed the confusion that came over m

He managed to make the rest of the world not matter.—Are you taking me to desolate places because you still hate being around humans? —I asked cautiously and curiously.Azazziel spared me a fleeting glance before smiling and returning his attention to the road."I prefer less crowded places," he admitted. I like the nature.I raised my eyebrows, a reflex for the surprise that overcame me. For a second I thought he was kidding me, but the lack of mockery on his features told me that wasn't the case.-Oh really? —I asked, without hiding my astonishment.He nodded.—I like all those places that have not been touched by man. I quite admire the landscapes that the Earth has of him.A sensation of heat warmed my chest, and I could only observe his profile with an enchanted smile etched on my lips. A fraction of me wondered, vaguely, if perhaps this was due to the fact that she lived with Aeriele in a thick forest, away from humans. I also wondered if he really treasured those memories, or

An uncomfortable weight settled in my stomach. I continued to look at him, but now with slight bewilderment.—How do you know that's not what I really feel? —This time, she didn't answer me. My eyes traveled to her fists, only to notice how she squeezed them with such impulse that a slight tremor shook her wrists. He didn't need to see more to know that this was not a topic he liked. I decided to push those thoughts in another direction, and so that he would relax too. Anyway, I know you didn't bring me here to discuss that.—I didn't bring you to discuss anything. “She” closed her eyes for a second, slowly shook her head and looked at me again. She only wanted to be with you.—For nothing in particular? —I asked, looking suspicious. Not even to talk about Asmodeus?—Asmodeus is our business , okay? —She replied with a slight hint of abruptness—. He's not going to come near you.I understood that "our" referred exclusively to them. I was not included there.—But what about you? How

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
