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

I shook my head and stared at the ground, appreciating how despair quickened my breathing.He couldn't believe what he was about to say."If…if that's the case…" I muttered hoarsely and swallowed, clenching my fists as I couldn't, feeling an unpleasant well of anger and impotence building in me, "then I'll talk to Azazziel… He said he'd let me live a life." Quiet life, and this ," I remarked, waving toward the two of them, "is far from a normal life.The demon sighed and took a step towards me."Amy, I don't mean to discourage you," he murmured, grimacing apologetically and shaking his head from side to side, "but it's very likely that that possibility no longer exists." In a way, and as much as she hates to admit it, Akhliss may be right: you could have encountered some other demon… much worse.I thought my head would explode. I brought a hand to my forehead, feeling it burn. A brief laugh of pure irony escaped me."Is there anyone worse than Azazziel?" I raised an eyebrow." There a

I heard that they were following me, but I didn't want to look back because I knew that it was the pair of demons. They spoke in whispers, some higher than others, but I was lost in their conversation… Until I recognized Mabrax's name.A chill ran down my spine, but I was too enraged to pay them any real attention anyway. I was also somewhat afraid, not being sure where I was. I had to get away from them. Right now, he couldn't stand being around either of them."Let her go home." I heard Khaius whisper, and knew they were closer. She worked all day, dammit."Going out for a while won't hurt," she objected calmly. I understand that all he does is stay at home."They're idiots," I mumbled to myself, though I was sure they could hear me perfectly.Someone pulled hard on my left hand and I immediately felt a painful current. I turned my head, only to meet the angry gaze of the devil, this hateful girl who could very well be Azazziel's girlfriend.I jerked to free myself, but she didn't b

Suddenly, Akhliss's words were to my ears what honey was to my palate. I studied her face, serene now, just as she did with me. Her features, so perfect as if they had been made for a specific purpose, were haunting; she had such a pretty face, that I felt like I could look at her for a long time without getting tired. Somehow, I felt lightheaded and dizzy.I saw her raise her hand, the one that wasn't holding me, and she brushed her fingertips against my cheekbone. I couldn't pull away, I couldn't move a single muscle. All I did was stay perfectly still and receive the contact, which felt like a strange and strange mix between silk and electric current.“Enough, Akhliss. Khaius's voice seemed to sound very far away, as if he was not next to us, but rather far away.He sounded very severe, but neither she nor I paid any attention to him.-That I have to do? I whispered.I did not think; it was as if the words came out of my mouth without my being able to stop them.“Amy…” I heard Khai

I raised an eyebrow.-Ought?"How do I explain it?" She hesitated, tilting her head back to look at the sky. Well, long story short, he's a sex fiend.My entire body tensed. I felt like screaming and running out of there.So… she had manipulated me? Did she manage to… get into my head?"I-I want to go home," I said quickly.The mere idea that she could continue to be close to me gave me the willies. He saw the sudden fear I felt, and nodded.We hurried a couple of streets, until I began to recognize the center. When I spotted a taxi, I put up a hand and stopped it. I opened the door of the vehicle, but at that moment I saw Khaius start to walk away.-Where are you going? -asked. He turned to look at me strangely. Come here.He raised his eyebrows, not even making the slightest effort to hide his astonishment.-Really?—No, little devil, it's just that I love to prank you. I rolled my eyes. Get on now.He hesitated, looking between the car and me.-Come on! I continued, already half an

I stopped my walk towards the garden of my house abruptly, and I did not try to hide the expression of astonishment that this revelation caused me.-What are you saying? I whispered, suddenly feeling short of breath."You heard what Akhliss said," she replied, her eyes fixed on the floor, assuming a thoughtful air. Many will respect him and will not attack you knowing that you have been marked by him. And that could reduce the number of demons that want to kill you.Was he serious? No. _ It couldn't be. Was she playing with me?"No," I said emphatically. He's already made it very clear that the day I die of my own cause, he's going to take my soul, Khaius."That 's the thing," he clarified, quite convinced of what he was saying. Azazziel never waits for anything; if he wants something, he'll do whatever it takes to get it right away. Him.” He gave a rueful sigh. How is it that he always says?"Patience not your thing?" I ventured.He frowned, looking at me sideways. A hint of astonish
Gloom Chapter 102
I arrived in a short time on foot to the church that my mother and her friend Joane attended, a place that I used to frequent until I decided to force myself not to do it anymore; with high white walls and striking slightly Gothic architecture. The truth was that I never liked going there because it made me feel uncomfortable and strange, but now I needed to get holy water. I needed to somehow feel secure by myself. Without them . I asked Father Kenae—an elderly man, the same one who didn't run into anything unusual when he visited Claire—if he knew where I could get a rosary, and he pointed me to a location just one block south. .After finding the store and buying the rosary, I figured it best to go home right away, even though deep down I didn't want to get there so early. But he had nothing else to do. As was often the case lately, I began to think about Diana, and how we had stopped talking to the point of not even saying hello. As I wandered down the sidewalk at a slow pace and
