Hellbound With You (WN)

Alicia could only tremble when Ezekiel didn ’t say a single word. Was she trembling out of incredulity? Or was the trembling caused by the thought that she was utterly foolish in trusting this person? She was awfully remorseful in taking that step of granting Ezekiel that final bit of trust – hoping that his emotionless face was only a ruse for tricking Dinah – but at her own risk. Unfortunately, from how matters are developing at the moment, it seems as if the trick was on her! A mocking laughter rang behind her as Dinah stood there, looking at Alicia like she was some pitiful object.

”My bad witch… ” Dinah said. ”Let me enlighten the pitiful you… ” she uttered as Alicia let go of Ezekiel and faced the woman.

Riev immediately grabbed Alicia and once again pulled her close to him while Dinah stood next to Ezekiel.

The look in Dinah ’s eyes were filled with nothing but pride as she gazed up at Ezekiel. ”Ezekiel here has been my most important aid, ” she started before looking at Alicia. ”He ’s been my loyal follower for a long time and his loyalty is only dedicated to me… ” she enunciated every word. ”Alone. ”

After those words left her lips, she laughed again.

Alicia could practically hear her heart crack and break into pieces. Why?! She thought back of all their interactions previously, turning them one by one – trying to determine if he had even once given her a hint that he was on Dinah ’s side. Was she so blind to have missed any clues? Earlier she had just thought she truly was fated to be the witch queen. But now, she did not dare to be so sure anymore. She dragged her watery eyes up and courageously confronted Ezekiel ’s emotionless and cold ones.

Whatever words Alicia wanted to say were lost. What else could she say? All she could do now was to only helplessly stare at Ezekiel.

”What. Still couldn ’t accept the reality? ” Dinah spoke again. ”Shall I enlighten you more about Kiel ’s loyalty to me? ”

Alicia didn ’t want to hear anything anymore. She no longer care. She no longer know what to even feel at that moment. And her body began to ache. She felt like if she could just shut down even for a moment – that would be utter bliss, even if that blissfulness was just plain forced ignorance.
