Gloom Chapter 363
I felt like my stomach was turning. I almost felt dizzy. I felt like walking away, getting away as quickly as possible, but the rejection I felt towards him took me by surprise and I just stayed there."I don't know," I admitted in a whisper.Azazziel gave a half smile.—I think you don't want it. And, in fact, I don't want it either.I looked up and, for some reason that confusion and lethargy did not allow me to understand, the stinging in my chest increased. A few seconds later, when understanding finally dawned on me, an overwhelming emotion washed over me.—You're going to leave…It wasn't a question, but he shook his head in a dry nod anyway.That single gesture was enough for the whirlwind of painful emotions to become more vivid , to enlarge its size inside me and increase the amount of damage it was going to cause.My breathing began to accelerate."So, that's all?" Is that what will happen? That you will resolve what is happening to me and my damn soul and I will separate my

I had to wait a few seconds to try to dissolve the lump that had formed in my throat.- Did you lie to me?His eyelids closed again for a few moments as he sighed with a certain air of boredom."In many things," he admitted. What Asmodeus said was true, I didn't find you because I was walking on Earth. "He," he shook his head. That last one almost made him laugh. He had entrusted me with a task and I found you only because he was evaluating the situation of humans for the Apocalypse. He sent many of us to different parts of the planet. I spent several weeks assessing the population in adjacent towns before arriving in Portland. And on one of those strange days I ran into you by chance…” She paused, just as his gaze dropped to the ground, immersed for a few moments in his own memories. I didn't tell you the truth when you asked because..., I don't know. I was just worried about the idea that you might have me.I clenched my jaw, crossing my arms.—And because you wanted to trick me...

-So it is true. Your life there remained the same as it was before you met me.A wrinkle of confusion crossed his brow and he tilted his head slightly. She opened her mouth to say something, but a second later, as understanding dawned on her features, he closed it abruptly as he silently denied it.He let out a sound that was halfway between a grunt and a tired sigh."If you mean he was with other people while he was trying to have something with you, then you're in a bad way," he muttered, a fortuitous anger beginning to emanate from his expression. "The last time I tried to have something with someone, it was the same day you summoned me with your bracelet to ask me to save Claire," he said in a slightly lower tone, looking away with what seemed like discomfort, and suddenly I felt that I wanted to cover my ears so as not to hear him. That time you interrupted something, but I didn't mind leaving it to come to Earth because I heard your voice in my head. You seemed distressed and I

I didn't know why, but what I saw of him was worse, just as bad, or even worse than the other two, but somehow it affected me more.I slowly opened my eyelids, but I couldn't continue speaking. I couldn't move my lips and reveal to him what it was that shocked me so much, that made me feel so bad. That opened my eyes and brought out the disappointment and aversion that I was currently feeling towards him.Because it was. It was worse . I saw him doing the same thing as Khaius, only he wasn't being controlled. Azazziel was not forced. He did it for pleasure, for the pure evil that ran in his veins, with which he was born and which was inherited from his father. I saw him immersed in ancient battles without the slightest compassion for his adversary, unable to differentiate between the strength of a human and that of a demon, because the black reflection showed me that he could murder both species in the most vile and bestial way without not even feel a single ounce of guilt. I saw him
Gloom Chapter 367
And that was enough for a whirlwind of contradictory emotions to collide with each other inside me.—Like the one it was before? —I blurted out through clenched teeth, completely unable to control the tremor that took over my hands—. My parents are ten feet under, Azazziel! I lost my friends, my job, everything! How is it supposed to go back to the way it was before?!-Are you alive! —She bellowed for the first time in all this time, and as she always knew how to raise her voice louder than me, I shrank in place and swallowed saliva in an attempt to relieve the lump in my throat. He set his jaw, anger and displeasure taking over his features. That's the only thing that matters. And yes, you lost a lot of things, but you are now here alive, and you have no idea how important that is or what we sacrificed to make it that way. So grow up and take some responsibility in this too. Yes, I screwed up, but you had something to do with it too. Because I could have loved him very much, but noth

I closed my eyes tightly for a second and sighed deeply, before trying to gather my courage and force my trembling legs to move towards him.Instead of hugging me, like I thought he would, his hand squeezed mine very firmly. A slight uncertainty washed over me when her free arm wrapped around my waist, but not in a loving gesture, but rather as if she didn't want me to move. She leaned down until she rested the pile on the top of my head and my face was buried in her chest. The simple fact of being like this, so close to him, appreciating his particular and attractive aroma, caused the pain to explode in my chest and the desire to shed the tears that I had been holding in for so long to become unbearable.He didn't take long to speak again. And when he did, his voice was barely a hoarse whisper, but charged with firm determination:—Amy Masters…, I release you from the pact.I couldn't understand it. For a few seconds of cruel and absolute silence, my brain could not assimilate what h
Gloom Chapter 369
“Don't go,” I repeated, and by then my voice was barely a hoarse, unsteady whisper. Don't stay with me if you don't want to, but don't go back there . Don't go back to that place. You don't have to obey orders from Asmodeus or any other demon, I know you don't want that. You have the possibility to choose.He frowned slightly. Her jaw and his fists clenched together, and his Adam's apple bobbed as I saw him swallow.-You're wrong. This is what I want. It's what I've always wanted. You were a dangerous distraction in my plans, Amy, and I can't let it stay that way. I'm not going to change who I am, I can't... I don't want to. I will always be what you see.I bit my lower lip, hard. My jaw continued to tremble, the corners of my eyes burned from the intense desire to burst into tears. But, there was also something else now, a different emotion from the searing tightness that wreaked havoc on my chest. Something different, but equally overwhelming.Rage . Raw and intense rage.—I see...

I opened my eyes slowly, very calmly. For the first time in a long time, my heart was not beating frantically against my ribs, but rather just beating at a slow, even rhythm.And it hurt with every movement I made inside my chest.To be honest, I didn't want to get up. I wouldn't have done it if it weren't for the fact that I had biological needs and my stomach, which had been growling quite early on, was already starting to hurt. Still, I struggled to suppress my hunger for several hours, only because I really didn't feel like leaving this room. I had no desire to leave these four walls of a house that was not mine, nor to face the world as it was now. I didn't feel in the mood to see Nat and tell him everything... Or to face what had happened.What was finished during the early morning. Just like how it started.I would have liked to come out of the chamber undefeated. I would have loved to have been filled with pride and gone to Nat's room to tell her that I didn't really cry; that

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
