Gloom Chapter 89
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

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

Then, he huffed dramatically, rolling his eyes.“Oh shit…” he muttered with obvious boredom, “the spoilsport is here. See, why did you take so long to wake up?I frowned at her, unable to understand what she meant.At that moment, strong, insistent and sudden blows were heard. As if someone knocked on the door with enough impetus.My eyes widened with anxiety at whoever I was playing with such verve, but the chick in front of me didn't flinch. I didn't even manage to move a single muscle, when a noise resounded in the room, like breaking wood.My heart pounded desperately against my chest, a reflection of the terror that erupted in me."And now that?!"I searched with my eyes for something that would be useful to me, anything that would help me to hit or attack the stranger who entered, although none of the objects belonged to me, while I heard some rough footsteps approaching.The scream of terror was stuck in my throat, as soon as I could see Khaius peeking out of the doorway.I bre

"Akhliss thinks she can find out what's different about your soul," he explained in a low, slightly surly tone.I blinked, first to finally know the demon's name, and second, to her words; for an instant I felt like I lost my breath. She, next to her, gave him a venomous look for having revealed that information.-As? I asked." That 's the problem," he replied between his teeth."It's not a problem," the devil intervened, looking only at him, crossing her arms. Well, I understand that you disagree because you've always been a softie, but what about Azazziel? Why hasn't he tried? I do not know!Khaius shook his head in stubborn denial."That's not your business.""It is if it involves him, " she said, and immediately pointed a finger at me. What if this girl isn't as harmless as he thinks?“Akhliss,” he said, softening his tone and face slightly, “you are not his babysitter."W-wait," I interrupted hesitantly, when I couldn't take the confusion anymore, "how is she supposed to find ou
