Gloom Chapter 87
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

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
Gloom Chapter 94
My eyes widened in surprise at that statement. Immediately, almost immediately, I narrowed them.I could feel a surge of adrenaline and fury ripple through me, and under the urge of that hasty fusion, I leaned forward, forcing her back slightly."Then why don't you both go to hell?" I replied in a hoarse whisper. She would have spit in his face, except that his mouth felt too dry.His expression barely faltered at my recklessness. Only deepened his frown, which was already contracted by anger. I did not calculate the consequences that my outburst of anger could cause.But either way, he never would have expected the reaction he got.I saw his full set of teeth when he let out an outrageous laugh. I jumped and fell back as far as I could go again, dazed and terrified from head to toe. She pushed away from me and backed up a few steps as she giggled wildly, clutching her stomach with both hands.I gasped, unable to take in the scene before me.“B-but what…?" Oh …" he murmured breathles

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
