Hellbound With You (WN)

Alex ’s lips twitched.

”What an idiot, ” he said through his teeth, utterly pissed. ”Why the hell did he make himself endure something like that for so long? It ’s not like he ’s a weakling, ” he added, controlling his anger.

Alicia looked away and stared at the city lights below them. ”When he was under that spell, Zeres ’ consciousness was like drifting clouds wandering about aimlessly. ” She started. ”He couldn ’t even listen and understand the voices. The pain was the only thing reaching his consciousness, maybe because it was too intense for his body to ignore. The spell had shackled him tight, not just his body but his heart and soul too. Dinah knew that, so she didn ’t hold back at all. Until eventually, she started feeding Zeres her blood. I don ’t know where she got that idea, but it seemed it worked. ”

Abi ’s eyes widened and looked at Alicia in horror. ”She knew the forbidden secret of the family, ” Abi said, causing Alicia and Alex to look at her with curious gazes.

The memories of her past self played in her head as she spoke. ”There was that time when the dragon keeper had twin sons. ” She began, telling them the same story her past self had heard from her mother. ”When the dragon keeper died, the younger twin was unexpectedly chosen as the new dragon keeper. The older twin was furious because first-born sons had always been the one being chosen. He couldn ’t accept it. He became hostile until he eventually tried to do something crazy. He desired to steal the dragon ’s loyalty from its keeper by feeding the dragon with his own blood. Dragons don ’t drink blood, but it seemed they would drink it as long as the blood belongs to a member of the noble family of dragon keepers. And it worked. The dragon began to obey the older twin instead of the real keeper. But the dragon slowly became violent and uncontrollable. Once the blood he drank runs out, it will go on a rampage and will not stop until it gets its fill. The older twin succeeded, but the price for that was the older twin ’s life. ”

Abi ’s story made Alicia ’s lips parted in disbelief. She was speechless. ”So, that ’s where Dinah got the idea. ” She shook her head. ”And Dinah did that without fear because she wasn ’t just a mere human anymore. She is now an immortal, so death was something she need not fear anymore. What a crazy woman. ” She scowled before she took a deep breath to calm herself.

”What happened to the dragon after he died? ” Alicia then asked again after a momentary silence.
