Hellbound With You (WN)

This chapter is dedicated to @MonsterUnderTheBed! Thank you so much for the supergift!

The corners of Alicia ’s lips curved up into a bitter, angered smile after hearing that last statement that he made. As though making a disclaimer in order to clear himself off all responsibilities to the actions that he had done. ”You ’re saying that the things you said earlier weren ’t real? That they were nothing but the result of your messed up state? So I should not be taking them seriously? ”

He fell quiet again. But this time she waited for him to respond.

”Yes. ” He answered. His tone completely undiscernible.

”I see… ” Alicia pushed herself up to a sitting position. ”So these… all that had happened earlier were all nothing but a result of our messed up situation. ” She made a statement and nodded as if forcefully convincing herself what he said was the truth. She hated the feeling of disappointment that had rose sharply within her. All this was just so absurd. She should feel relieved that all that had happened were nothing as he claimed. Because if it was all real… she would not even know how to proceed anymore. What would happen between them… that was another huge headache that needed to be dealt with as well.

Thinking more about it, all she knew was that everything would most probably fall apart. The little bit of defense left in her, her mission, every implication… everything… Therefore, things as how they stood now was for the best. Right…?

Relief should be flooding her entire being. The world might turn upside down and the two of them would still be enemies. A vampire and a witch will forever be forbidden. But why was it that there was this little spark of regret that she was feeling deep within her heart?

”That ’s a great relief. ” She breathed out, looking away, retorting back at him, acting as though she was happy that everything was back to ’normal ’.

Alicia had failed to realize that even at this moment, they were both in what they called ’their messed-up state ’ and that like what Ezekiel had said, they must not believe what each other would say.

”Then you should keep it in mind not to believe the emotions you feel coming from me as well, Ezekiel. That intense lust I am feeling towards you was nothing but a result of this messed up situation. Just like you, I don ’t have any control over it. You of all people should know even better of my current physical condition. ” She spouted with bravado.
