Hellbound With You (WN)

Abigail ’s face was burning red. Her throat was finally better now after the third time Alex made her drink water from his mouth. He didn ’t even give her a chance to decline him. 

”Want more? ” he asked, causing Abi to frantically shake her head. 

”I… I ’m fine now, Alex, ” she told him as she covered her lips with the back of her hand. ”I… I can drink on my own. Y-you don ’t have to do that, ” she stammered. 

For Abi, what he did was extremely embarrassing and she felt like she ’d end up being choked to death instead if he continued doing that.

Abi ’s eyes slowly widened in both shock and horror the moment she remembered everything that happened to her. The darkness, the pain, the fear, the seemingly endless dungeon and the music… everything appeared in her head so clearly. 

It was as if she just remembered a horrifying nightmare! Her hands suddenly clenched, clutching tightly on to Alex ’s shirt and her reddened face instantly became pale. 

The next moment, her arms flew towards Alex ’s neck as they wrapped around him and pulled him down towards her. Abi hugged him as tight as she could as if she wanted to fix him permanently into her embrace. 

”A-alex… I am not dreaming, right? ” she asked. Her voice filled with doubt and fear.
