Hellbound With You (WN)

”Wait! ” Abigail finally cut him off. She was so confused at this whole conversation. ”Are you guys saying that you both already knew about the existence of that immortal woman? ” she asked both Alex and Zeke.

”Yes. Alex told me that night of your surgery three months ago about that woman ’s existence before he lost his memories, ” Zeke answered her, causing Abi ’s jaw to drop in surprise.

Abi looked at Alex. ”The late witch queen was the one who informed me about that woman, ” Alex said to Abi.

Abi felt like her head was going to burst. ”You mean, ever since I stabbed Alex, everything that happened next was already part of your plan? ” she asked, curious and confused to her bones.

”Because I knew I would forget everything, I entrusted my life to you and everything else to Zeke, Abigail. Back then, we thought that that woman was waiting for the arrival of the girl in the prophecy to kill me. We thought that her ultimate plan was to kill me using that girl in the prophecy. We thought that she ’d been hiding because of me and that when she saw that I had been stabbed and was finally dying, that it would eventually lure her out, ” Alex explained.

Zeke also spoke after Alex. ”That woman indeed made her presence known after that. I managed to cross paths with her and offered to be her ally. That was when I found out she was after you, Abigail. Back then, I thought she just wanted to eliminate you because you were the biggest threat to an immortal like her, after Alex. I managed to make her believe that Alex wasn ’t dying yet and that you might not be the girl in the prophecy but the woman still tried to look for you. The witch queen was the one who protected you these last three months. She had concealed you from their sights using her powers and then she was captured by that woman. I couldn ’t save her. I didn ’t know where they were hiding the witch queen and when I found out, it was too late. So I had to keep going. What happened after that was an orchestrated plan but all I did was bring you to places of my choosing to make something happen. The rest is still the result of your actions. ”

Abi could only listen, utterly speechless. This was just too unbelievable.

”So your final plan was to bring us to that Ziggurat? ” Abi asked again.
