Hellbound With You (WN)

After what seemed to be a very long time, Alicia finally opened her eyes. All sorts of emotions filled her eyes as if she just woke up from an unbelievably horrific nightmare.

”Alicia, are you okay? ” Abi said as she approached her. Worry etched on her face as she gently squeezed Alicia ’s hand. ”What did you see in Zeres ’ memories? ”

”Abigail. ” Alicia took a deep breath as if to calm herself. However, before she could say a word, Zeres moved. The curse was already lifted, shocking Alicia. He ’s supposed to stay immobile for a day!

Disbelief could only color Alicia ’s face. It seemed spells and curses only work on Zeres for a very short time. Or was he able to break such a powerful spell so quickly on his own will?

As if someone had pressed the play button, Zeres continued groaning. The blackened portion of his fingers that halted when the spell activated continued, spreading fast from his hands up to his forearms.

”Zeres! ” Both Abi and Alicia called his name. But the man didn ’t react.

Alex, who was silently watching a few steps away from them, emitted a dangerous and suffocating aura – the exact same aura currently oozing out from Zeres. Alex ’s red eyes that were peering through the strands of his jet black hair like a pair of blood moons slowly turned gold again. He looked like he was at the edge as his gaze was 100% focused on Zeres, as if Alex knew full well what was happening to Zeres.

An agonizing scream broke the deep silence in the forest. And at that same moment, Alexander had already taken Abi and Alicia, and he landed along with them few meters away from Zeres. Alexander was too fast that Abi and Alicia felt like a lightning had blown them away.

When they looked at Zeres again, Abi and Alicia ’s lips could only part in shocked surprise. Zeres had stopped groaning in pain. He was standing there and didn ’t seem in pain anymore. But his appearance was almost unrecognizable. His skin had turned black, and they could see scales on his shoulders. The only thing that remained the same was his silver-white hair and his golden eyes. What was going on? Why did he look like he had turned into a black dragon in a man ’s form?

Slowly, his gaze fell on them. His eyes had turned so vividly golden, like suns burning intensely in the dark. The sight of him had made Abi and Alicia immobile. Alicia was utterly shocked, but Zeres ’ appearance at that moment had reminded Abi of Lexus, and her eyes welled. She suddenly missed that majestic dragon that had been her past self ’s only company for years.
