Hellbound With You (WN)

The huge doors in the castle ’s top most floor opened with a creak. Smoke drifted up from the first floor and Alexander was on his way up, climbing the stairs leisurely. The first floor was already on fire.

Xavier was sitting on the window sill, looking outside into the darkness when Alexander stepped into the room.

”I ’m surprised you didn ’t escape, Xavier, ” Alexander said. Alex looked disheveled, his clothes were shredded and his whole body was covered with nothing but blood. His hand was on the door ’s frame like he was supporting himself.

Xavier finally looked at him. ”Oh well, now that you ’re going to die, I don ’t really have a purpose anymore. All I wanted was to take revenge on you, Alex. That was what kept me going until now, I guess. ” he replied, his eyes calm. ”My only regret is that… I should have killed Abigail instead of you, ” he added, causing Alex to chuckle like the devil.

”It ’s too late for you to regret it now, Xavier. I do feel a little sympathy for you, though, because I believe someone brainwashed your poor brain. So? Who ’s this king who turned a prince like you into a pawn? ”

”Why do you still want to know? You and I are going to die soon anyway. Sigh… I guess I should be satisfied by this outcome. Once you ’re gone, vampires, even the good ones right now will soon create some chaos in this world. Do you think your Abigail will still live a peaceful life once that happens? No, some of them will start to become curious about this woman who was able to kill the immortal Alexander. ” Xavier flashed an evil smile.

But Alex was unfazed. He had returned to his old self – the heartless man who didn ’t care about anything or anyone.

”Oh, is that so? ” Alexander let out a menacing laugh as the fire now blazed inside the room.

However, Xavier lifted his hand and showed him something. ”I actually took these with me. I knew you would come after me so I took a token for you to have when you take your last breath, ” he said as he showed him not just the jellyfish plushie but Abi ’s little lamb one, too. ”Okay, how about we both watch them burn first? ” he added, wanting to see pain in Alexander ’s eyes. He would never be satisfied with him dying this way. He wanted Alexander to die with regret and pain, like him.

Alex ’s clouded eyes constricted and flashed like lightning when Xavier attempted to throw the toys into the fire. But before Xavier let them go, Alex ’s hand was around Xavier ’s neck while his other hand clutched the toys. It ’s like the sight of those things were enough to bring him back to his human form.

Xavier smiled at him.

”Well, isn ’t this a dramatic end for both of us? ” he said as his fingers wrapped around the dagger ’s hilt. ”This is the end, Alex… your life is finally ending, ” he added, before gripping the dagger to finally pull it out.

The thunder roared and lightning struck the castle mercilessly as the fire began to eat everything whole, leaving nothing but ashes.
