Hellbound With You (WN)

The duo finally arrived in front the crystal cave.

Alicia subconsciously tightened her hands around Ezekiel ’s hand when she was reminded about that day. Her very own funeral.

She now wondered what Ezekiel had felt at that time when he had come for her burial. She remembered that moment when she had turned into a spirit. Ezekiel had locked eyes with her that very moment, and it had given her such a shock. Because at that time, it was only Lilith who was supposed to be able to see her, and even then, only in her spirit form – all transparent and ethereal, as though she could disappear at any moment.

But this man… he already could actually see her ever since that very moment she had turned into a spirit.

She had seen him looking as composed and calm as usual and seemingly unaffected by everything that was going on around him when he had attended her funeral. That was why when they had locked eyes, Alicia back then, had told herself that it might have just been a coincidence where they were looking the same way and so happened that their eyes ’met ’ each other ’s. At that time, she had not believed that he could actually see her.

”I ’ve watched you drop that white rose with your usual unfathomable expression on your face. ” Alicia recalled with a small curl on one corner of her lips. ”You knew all along that I was still around at that time and not gone for good! That was why you had remained unaffected as you had.. It was not because you were heartless and that you don ’t care that I died as others might have thought. ” Alicia now stated the truth that had happened that day, on her burial.

”Yes. And I know you did doubt me a little because I accidentally made eye contact with you. ” Ezekiel made mention of the incident that was still lingering on her mind, and she lifted her eyes to his in surprise, not expecting to say anything about it.

She could not help but shake her head. He was right. She had doubted him at that instant, and instead, she chose to believe that it was nothing but just plain and pure coincidence.

Alicia hesitantly stepped close to the secret entrance.
