Hellbound With You novel Chapter 539

Chapter 539: Prophecy

Just bare moments ago, Alicia who was still shocked at what she witnessed, came crawling towards Abigail. Disbelief colored her pale face when she saw Abigail wasn’t breathing anymore. Was she really dead? The earth shook and Alicia looked at the raging Alexander, screaming at Ezekiel to bring Abigail back.

With shaking hands, Alicia cradled Abi’s head and gently rested it on her lap. She was too numb to cry now. What was going to happen now? How did it manage to end this way?

Roars and cries echoed and yet, strangely, the morning sunlight peeked through the clouds.

"Abigail... wake up." She begged with her hoarse voice when someone stood before her.

Alicia looked up. A woman in black cloak – the same cloak Dinah’s minions wear – stood before her. The woman looked like she was in her fifties, yet she had that grace and elegance around her. Alicia knew her. This woman was one of the most important figures to the vampires. She was only next to the vampire king. She was the oldest of all vampires alive in this world and she was what they called, the prophetess.

"Prophetess..." Alicia said with surprise. What was she doing here? She’s wearing that cloak. Does this mean she’s been here all this time?

The prophetess stared back at Alicia for a while and then slowly shifted her gaze to Abigail.

That was when the dragons’ roars thundered even louder. Their eyes fell towards the dragons. Dinah was wailing, a dust-like particles were gathering around her in a spiral pattern, strangely moving upwards. It looked like the she-dragon was decaying – or to better put it, she was disintegrating. It was as if her body was slowly turning into black dust.

Alicia turned her head towards Zeres. The same thing was happening to him.

"What is happening? Are they dying?" Alicia asked, her eyes still locked onto the agonizing Zeres.

"Yes." The prophetess replied.

"Z-zeres too?"

"Yes."

Alicia dropped her eyes, biting down on her slightly trembling lips and looked at Zeres again. He was in pain, wailing in agony. Was he going to die just like that? In so much pain again? He didn’t even remember his real memories yet. Why did he have to live again just to die an even more painful death?

Alicia’s heart throbbed in more pain than she could handle. It was suffocating. She could hardly breathe. First Riev, then Abi, and now... Zeres too? Even though Zeres was someone she only met for a very short time, Alicia had seen his past, his pain, and his agony. He’s been suffering all these while, for so long.

But when she looked down at Abi’s face, Alicia finally cried. Maybe, it was better this way. That Zeres will die just like that because Abi was already gone. She thought it’s better than having him see Abigail’s dead body once again.

"Prophetess..." Alicia called out, not looking up at the woman. "Is this the end? I believe you’re here because you’ve seen some prophesies, right?"

"Yes."

"Is... is Abi really meant to die?"

"Yes."

"And Ezekiel was the one prophesized to..."

"You’re right. His highness must kill her."

Alicia gritted her teeth. "Why? Because the only way for the dragons to die is if Abigail dies?"

"That’s right."

A cynical smile curved on Alicia’s face as she looked up. "But Alexander is still alive. What’s the point of getting rid of Abigail and the two dragons if Alexander is still alive? You all know Alexander will never accept this. He will not forgive Ezekiel, the vampires and the world. He will destroy the world again. And we are all well aware that he’s fully capable of doing that and even more."
