Hellbound With You (WN)

”I ’m sorry for all the trouble, ” she whispered, albeit a little bitterly, knowing that he could hear every single word despite the speed they were travelling at.

He said nothing except for giving her a quick glance. And for the first time, Alicia was glad that he chose not to respond.

When they arrived at the front of a large cavern, Alex was already inside while the rest waited outside for Zeke to arrive before doing anything.

Alicia let him support her as he put her down on the ground while she assessed her uncertain balance.

”I ’m steady now, thank you. ” She thanked Zeke politely. She did not hesitate to hold onto his arm anymore, knowing that it would be more of a shameful disaster if she stubbornly let go and ended up crumbling into a disgraceful heap onto the ground.

Zeke signaled everyone to enter the cavern and the three vampires immediately obeyed. The old prophetess ’ gaze lingered on Alicia for a moment.

”I can walk now. ” Alicia informed Zeke and he simply glanced at her before nodding and led the way forward.

As they entered the cavern, Alicia began to realize the uncanny familiarity of the place even though they were still at the cavern ’s entrance. Her heart began to thud – whether in anticipation or nervousness – she was not sure yet at the moment.

”This place… ” she gasped as soon as they went further inside. This crystal cavern was a bigger version of the Queen ’s cavern which was back in the Black Forest. ”What… is this place? ”

Looking around in shock, Alicia could not even form words anymore and she found herself buried in an avalanche of questions in her own mind.
