Gloom Chapter 86
But a demon wouldn't attack me if I was in a crowded place, right?I began to walk in strides, trying not to bump into other people, trying to get away quickly from there. Mabrax did not seem to be the type to wait patiently to attack, he gave the impression of someone who was carried away by his impulses, just like Azazziel. I soon found myself praying it was my imagination, even though there was no chance of it. She was so sure, she knew the feeling so well, it was impossible. He wasn't even carrying a rosary or a fucking bottle of holy water, so I had nothing to defend myself against a supernatural being.If I ran into one of them now, I was done for.Without realizing it, zigzagging between the streets, I ended up in a sector that I didn't recognize. I already felt the sweat on my forehead and neck due to the physical effort, and the same fear that consumed me. My breathing was too rough. Whatever place I was in, it was much less crowded than before and that worried me even more.

That feeling faded with growing anger.-Who the hell are you? I snapped.He showed no sign of anger at my tone."I'm not from Mabrax, if that's what you think."-So, whose…? I frowned more. The alternative seemed unlikely, but it was all I could think of when she referred to "Him . " Azazziel sent you?He shook his head in another calm nod, showing no emotion at all.An alien disturbance, a complete mix of concussions constricted my chest and made it difficult for me to breathe.The critical look of an elderly lady distracted me. The woman watched me out of the corner of her eye, frowning several times, as she walked away, quickening her pace. I frowned at her. Why the hell did she see me like that?"Sorry, wait," the demon murmured. Without waiting for my answer, he closed his eyes, adopting a very stern expression, and opened them a couple of seconds later. Okay, now people won't believe you're talking to yourself.I felt the blood cover my face from sheer shame, and the anger grew

"I don't understand," I replied, not hiding my bewilderment."I may be the only demon that wouldn't attack a human," he said, and the embarrassment and curiosity gained more ground in my mind. That's why he did it. And well, because I know him, and he would kill me if I tried to do anything to you.He shrugged again, and I couldn't make out anything he was saying. I didn't think Azazziel would kill one of his own just for attacking me."I don't believe you," I was honest, full of suspicion.“Look,” he sighed, as if he were tired, “it's not a fun business for me either. I know it must be awkward for you, but I can't say no. I was given an order and I must comply, do you understand?"Are you like his slave or something?""I'm nobody's slave," he said more sourly, as if the question had suddenly bothered him. Nonetheless, he let out another breath and relaxed. But I do have to obey him. Please, you just… go about your normal life. I promise I won't interfere with her.I snorted, and rele

My lips pursed as I glanced at the clock on the wall behind the bar, realizing I finally had to go.I didn't miss Diana shoving my shoulder as she bolted out. Her childish act stunned me, before anger engulfed me. I ground my teeth, holding back my urge to face her, but I already had enough trouble to fight her again. While she might be annoyed that she wasn't making any effort to apologize to me, she just couldn't find me in the mood for it.Perhaps, in a way, it was better this way. If Diana noticed that Khaius was hanging around me, she'd probably want to know about him. And I wouldn't let her risk it like that.I was grateful, inwardly, that the devil made an effort to give me my space. He was walking almost a street away from me, and he was not accompanying me on the bus trip; but, even so, he arrived before me at my house. And there it stayed. Waiting outside.Something that caught my attention about him was that his gaze did not reflect any kind of feeling, like the curiosity t

"I suppose Azazziel hasn't told you much about us," he said matter-of-factly.I shook my head."Don't tell me you don't sleep. I almost burst out laughing."Of course I do," he replied as if the comment had been silly. Although what we rest depends on each one. But even so, we don't need as much sleep as you do.My eyes widened a little more in astonishment. I was finally knowing a little more about them."What about feeding you?" I wanted to know.He denied with his head."Food, no."Wow…" I murmured in surprise. Well, I brought you this blanket, but I guess you don't feel cold either.He denied again. Suddenly, she cocked her head and narrowed her eyes."Do you want to talk about something by any chance?" she inquired suspiciously.Blood rushed to my face, pooling on my cheeks. I couldn't help feeling that I was too interested in them ."N-it's not that…" I bit my tongue, trying to come up with a quick response.The demon in front of me lowered and raised his gaze, as if trying to f

Of all that he expounded, only the last seemed like something Azazziel could say.My jaw dropped open, then snapped shut in irritation.“Sure, I 'm the pain in the ass. -I rolled my eyes-. You know he has my soul, right?"He doesn't have your soul, you'd be dead if he did," she pointed out. He just…how shall I put it?"Did he mark her?"He smiled again, returning his gaze to me."You're smarter than you look," he said approvingly. He mentioned it, too."Can it be reversed?" I asked with too much expectation.Khaius grimaced, then scratched his head with a finger."Yes," he replied with some insecurity, "it's possible." But there's no way you'll be able to convince Azazziel. He is too hardheaded.I let out a gasp of sheer shock. A light of hope oppressed my chest, leaving a warm and overwhelming feeling behind it.“S-he once said…” I began hesitantly, “that I was lucky he found me and not someone else.The demon frowned and considered my words."Yes, and no," he said, placing a hand on

"Do you think if Azazziel were more... nice, you wouldn't mind his company?"The question threw me off balance. I had to shake my head and collect my thoughts before answering."With Azazziel it's different," I said almost hostilely.He gave a short laugh. He opened the door, but it stalled again."Amy, I…" His expression turned serious as he stared at the floor. I do not intend to justify her actions. I know from personal experience that he can be a complete son of a bitch when she puts his mind to it. I hate him myself sometimes, but what he did…” She trailed off and pursed her lips, as if he didn't know what else to say.-That? I urged her anxiously.—I don't know if I should say it, but… How can I explain it to you? Your soul was scarred, it's true, but you won't necessarily go to Hell, because Azazziel is a… different kind of demon. He.” He looked up, only to narrow in my direction. What I mean is, if you're lucky… If at any point you manage to convince him to decide to undo the
Gloom Chapter 93
My attacker pulled me as easily as if I weighed two pounds, still covering my mouth to prevent my protests. I tried to cling more than once to a wall or any object, but no matter how hard I tried to fight, she simply exerted more force and dragged me through the gloomy streets, completely blackened by the absence of light on the poles; She didn't know if there was a general cut, or if it was her doing that they had turned off.Not know what to do. I didn't know how to defend myself. Adrenaline, caused by sheer desperation, flowed into my system and, in one of my thrusts, I bit without hesitation on the hand that covered my mouth. My attacker's hiss made me believe, for a second, that he had a chance to escape.However, at that moment I felt a sharp blow to the side of my head, so strong that it made me hear a deafening whistle and instantly blurred my vision.And then, along with every one of my senses, darkness enveloped that fleeting glimmer of hope.My eyelids began to open little
