Hellbound With You (WN)

Alicia was struck dumb and completely silenced by the pained look in the boy ’s eyes. If she had not seen it for herself, she would not have believed a young one such as Kyle would be able to feel and go through such agony related to relationships. Most people tend to look down on relationships between youths as they seem young and do not take things seriously. After some time, she could only reach out and patted his shoulder as her face became tender like a mother who was consoling her child. But before a word could leave her mouth, someone appeared before them. It was the ginger head, Lucas.

”His Highness said, we ’re leaving immediately. We ’ll wait for you two downstairs. ” He said and then disappeared. Kyle also politely bowed to Alicia and hurried to his room to get changed and packed up to leave.

Alicia was already prepared, so she stayed outside Kyle ’s room and waited for him. She was still thinking about the boy ’s confession and she could not help but think that Ezekiel must have brought Kyle along with him to keep him away from Lilith.

While Alicia ’s mind was occupied with thoughts about Kyle and Lilith, the boy emerged from the door and they both headed downstairs where the rest of their company were waiting.

They boarded a car and traveled for a couple of hours before stopping somewhere in the middle of a desert. Upon making sure that there were no other humans around, the group started to move. The moon was full and bright that night and there were no trees in the desert like the places they had visited before, thus making their movements swift and visuals clear. It was in that way that the company moved speedily towards the agreed destination, each hoping that this would be it for various personal reasons only known to each one ’s hearts.

The place was a stretch of flat land, barren of any dips and curves but one could only view sand – tonnes of it – as far as the eyes could see. The three vampires continued leaping forwards at high speed while Zeres and Alicia used their teleportation to reach the crystal cave. It was easier for them to go faster than usual because they do not need to be vigilant for any hidden enemies that could pop out of nowhere, unlike in the forests. That was one of the benefits of traveling in terrains such as the desert. Enemies need to come out at you directly instead of being able to ambush from various hidden locations.

However, as the men seemed to be enjoying running freely like bullets in the seemingly endless empty land, Zeres and Ezekiel suddenly halted. Lucas and Kyle also stopped a few steps behind Zeke, and they saw him looking behind them. The witch queen still had yet to catch up.
