Hellbound With You (WN)

Jude knew that this man was willing to do anything to find that book. But in all honesty, Jude was having a hard time understanding why he had to go to this extent!

Sighing, Jude spoke as he followed after Zeres. ”I really don ’t understand why you ’re doing this. Even if you love this person you ’re trying to bring back, I still think this is getting too much, you know… ”

Zeres halted. He was silent for a moment before he looked up into the sky. ”She died for me. Then she gave up her chance to go to the afterlife to lift my curse. And she did all of that even though she didn ’t love me. ” The last part came out just a little louder than a whisper.

As those words echoed in the dark, Jude ’s eyes widened. Zeres had never spoken about his reasons. He had only told him that he was doing this to save someone. Though Zeres had never said he loved the person, Jude could tell. Otherwise, who would sacrifice so much like this for someone you do not even love?

But now that he had heard these, he was speechless.

”What I ’m doing right now is still nothing compared to all that she did for me. ” Zeres added then he walked forward again.

Jude hastily followed him. ”Okay, I understand now. But… I think it is important for you to understand as well. I mean… you know that vixen might want to hurt you while doing, uhm… that… ”

”You ’re saying she might try to kill me and that ’s why you ’re worried? ” Zeres smirked a little. ”Did you forget that I ’m immortal? ”

”Not that, you, idi… I mean I ’m afraid you might accidentally kill her once she does something shocking to you before you could even get the information out of her. That ’s why I ’m telling you to have some mental preparation first. ”

Zeres sighed. ”What a pain in the a**. ”

After Jude explained to Zeres about what Snow might do, Zeres remained looking unaffected. He simply nodded at Jude before he entered the building where Snow ’s apartment was located.

To Zeres, this too, was nothing. He was running out of time. He had noticed Alicia ’s spirit was a bit more translucent than the last time he had seen her in the black forest.
