Gloom Chapter 325
The roar of the car's engine did nothing but upset my nerves.I dug my nails into my palms; The restlessness that rushed through my veins was so excessive that I did not feel the slightest pain. I looked up at the rearview mirror, only to notice the angry face of the demon in the seat in front of me. His eyes were fixed straight ahead, with a deep frown. Then, for a fleeting moment, his gaze and mine met, before he looked away.My eyes still maintained the moist layer that had not left them since the scene I had witnessed almost an hour ago. I rubbed my eyelids hard, but the desire to burst into tears right there, in the back seat of a car that was clearly stolen, remained intact.The demon's light laugh threw me off balance.—Are you still crying for your friend? "Him," she asked with a mocking tone, after not having opened her mouth for what had felt like an eternity. I doubt you were too fond of him.I gave him a look full of venom.—You didn't have to do it. —My voice broke—. Paul

The lump in his throat was beginning to feel painful. The anguish I felt was so great that it was impossible for me to push it away from me to try to make the trip more bearable. It was almost stupid that I wanted to make it more bearable, considering that I was possibly heading towards a horrible destiny.I closed my eyes tightly.«He said it was two hours. You just have to wait. Don't provoke him , the voice in my head advised me in a whisper, like a reflection of my own fear.Apparently, for the moment I had to limit myself to doing the same thing I had done all week: waiting . I had already decided. I myself had charted the path to my own doom. There was no turning back.The silence inside the vehicle was driving me crazy. It wasn't like I could ask the demon to turn on the radio, but the need to fill it welled up in me urgently. Although no more than the desire to stay alive, of course. With great effort, I forced myself to close my mouth for the entire duration of the horrible t

The demon turned around and began walking towards the house, without saying a word.—Th-are they there? —I asked in a whisper. I needed to know that so I could continue.Hythro stopped in his tracks and looked over his shoulder at me.—You're not here to see them.His words made a hole settle inside me, and an invisible force gripped my stomach."I won't go with you if you don't tell me," I replied, trying my best to sound authoritative, but I couldn't.He turned around completely.—Don't you think it's a little late to repent? —She asked, raising an eyebrow.Panic and uncertainty erupted in my system as I stared at his unreadable countenance. Instinctively, I took two steps back.Then, upon seeing my movement, the demon rushed forward until he was stuck in front of me. He leaned forward, bringing his face—now flushed—to a few centimeters from mine."Listen to me, damn," she hissed, dripping with pure anger, "if I don't take you to Asmodeus, he will make me pay dearly." And, believe m

At that moment, a gasp escaped my lips as I saw, astonished, how a door began to emerge in the wall, causing a cloud of dust to emanate, as if it had always been hidden there. It was a wide piece of wood, with the upper part rounded in the shape of an arch, like ancient doors; Several strange and unknown symbols flashed in the frame with a reddish glow, and then went out of their own accord.I felt like my legs were weak.Hythro pulled on my arm, but in response to the fear that overwhelmed me, I resisted. He turned around and gave me a look full of aversion."I can walk alone," I mumbled before he said anything.His upper lip retracted, baring his teeth at me and uttering a slight threatening growl. However, after a couple of seconds, he reluctantly let my arm free.He put his hands on the strange entrance and pushed it. A completely black space appeared in front of us, and a light breeze of unknown origin moved a few strands of my hair. I coudn't see anything. The intense blackness

He walked down the hallway, with me on his heels. The small place managed to upset me more than I already was; The only sound he could hear, besides our footsteps, was my heavy breathing. Then, when we got to the bottom, he opened the last door.A relatively square but wide area appeared on the other side. The lights ended there, so the only thing I was able to make out inside were some strange, still, terrifying-looking shadows.Hythro walked into the room, getting lost in the darkness. I stayed a couple of meters away from the door. My common sense reacted and my numb hands—maybe from the cold, or from fear, I didn't know—took one of the torches from the hallway wall. I took a deep breath, exhaling a shaky sigh, and forced my legs forward.The door closed behind me, without me having touched it.The light from the fire in my hand allowed me to see the demon turn towards me. His face, pale and dark, maintained a very severe expression."You will stay here until I return," he said blu

I only knew that a couple of hours had passed because a slight growl, coming from my stomach, echoed in the dark room louder than it actually was. Fatigue, tiredness and cold exhausted me excessively. My whole body felt cold. Even so, I couldn't calm my heartbeat.Suddenly, the icy energy that entered the atmosphere made me open my eyes, stretching me suddenly. In a very innocent way, a spark of hope awakened within me, but it was quickly drowned out the moment I recognized that heavy and dense presence.I almost jumped to my feet, ignoring the tingling in my muscles, shaking in a flash from the current of fear that coursed through my system. I turned to the side, watching with fear as the door opened slowly, and when I saw her, the blood fled from my face.The first thing I could notice, more than anything else, was the black patch that covered his left eye, the one Alexander tore off. And then, in the anger that his expression exuded.Fear stuck to the center of my being and was fel

Before I knew it, I had already fallen to the ground. I coughed as I tried to catch my breath."I want to see you beg for your life," he continued, and another blow landed squarely on my abdomen, this time with his foot. I want to make you regret everything .A wet layer began to gather in my eyes. My breathing became labored, rapid and ragged. I was vaguely aware of him turning away from me, since the pain in my gut was so intense that I couldn't pay much attention to it.—Let's see what I can do without leaving too many marks on you. —I heard her murmur in a happy and playful tone.When my vision adjusted to the little light that the torch still emanated from the floor, I could notice that Naamah had taken one of the objects from the table. He turned around and gave me a smile.—Do you know what this does? He waved the instrument in the air, which almost looked like a strange pair of scissors. It's to tear off your fingers. I doubt you'll miss one or two, right?Despite the pain, an

—So you're really doing all this for love? "She," she asked, laughing, then shook her head. I can't believe what an idiot you are. You will soon see the consequences that this can bring you.Another sudden blow to the stomach made me lean forward, making me lose my breath. A faint ringing echoed in my ears for a few moments, while my vision became blurry. I was left lying on the floor, with my hands wrapped around my painful torso, and then I could no longer hold back my tears."I wonder if Asmodeus will be upset with me if I break something for you," he murmured.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him lift one leg in the air. Suddenly, the recent memory of Hythro, raising one foot to smash Paul's head into the ground, came to mind and fear gripped every part of my being.At this moment, the door opened.Naamah looked away from me abruptly, then took a couple of steps away. I couldn't immediately raise my head to see who had entered, so I just listened to footsteps that seemed furious
