Hellbound With You novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322 Date

"This is such a beautiful place. Do witches really live here?" Abi asked. She was simply awed. It was just too beautiful, it could be called paradise.

She couldn't believe that a witch was actually living in a place like this. Of course, from all the books she had read, she had imagined a dull, eerie place in the woods or something akin to that when she found out that they were heading to the northernmost village of the country! So seeing this village, which was as far from her imagination as it could be, she was completely awestruck by the natural beauty and this feeling of peacefulness coming from the place.

"Yes. The witches like to stay in places like this, close to the black forest, where they can run to escape from danger. They know the dark forest well so they have a high chance of escaping when vampires spot them." Alex replied.

"So you're saying that they are living and roaming around as one of the villagers?"

"Yes. This village in particular is composed of only humans."

"Really? All of them?" Abi looked at him with wide eyes, surprised.

"Yes. These people are the descendants of one family who came to live here hundreds of years ago. The first family who settled here were the royal family of an overthrown kingdom. The exiled king happened to be this country's king's friend so he had allowed them to settle here in peace. They vowed to keep the country's secret and never leave the place in exchange for the protection from vampires. Now, that family grew into a village."

"That's a very interesting story," she uttered, still gushing at the sight before her eyes. "They must've been so thankful to be living in this paradise peacefully."

"Probably."

"What's the name of this village?"

"White Falls Village."

"White falls... It's a nice name."

The car idled in front of a small hotel. It looked picturesque. It was made of wood and there were flowers hanging all over the bricks.

"You two will stay here for the day," Zeke, who was a mute the entire trip, finally spoke.

Alex stepped out and took their luggage out and placed them by the stairs.

Abi watched Zeke's car leave with a slight frown. He was supposed to stay close to them, right?

"What? You want Zeke to stay with us in the hotel?" Alex leaned behind her. "Too bad for you but Zeke isn't interested in becoming a third wheel."

A smirk played on his face before he turned and walked up the stairs towards the door. Abi could only follow him in silence as an old lady welcomed them.

She led them upstairs and showed them their room.

Once the lady left, Alex walked out the door towards the small terrace. Abi got attracted by the beauty outside as well and she followed him. They could now see the village, the huge rock mountain in the background and the majestic falls.

Ah, this was so refreshing…

Abi closed her eyes to savor the cool, fresh air. There was no pollution in the village. There were cars parked up around the place but there were only a few of them. It looked like these were only used for long trips outside the village as she could see that all the people were mostly going about their business on foot or on bicycles.

The greenery was just too breathtaking to ignore. She just couldn't believe it! She breathed in deeply to take in this unpolluted air into her lungs. Again, she felt a very keen sense of something extraordinary in the air, as if magic surrounded the entire place.

She never thought that this was the kind of place they were going to. She almost felt like she was off on a vacation, and not on a witch hunt.

When she opened her eyes, Alex was observing her face closely. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

"What are you thinking?" he asked.

They sat by the glass window, overlooking the street as they waited for the coffees they had ordered. A waitress soon brought over their order and placed the mugs on the table.

Abi was all smiles and Alex had been watching her bright smile since the moment they stepped out of the car. He felt something different whenever she smiled like that and he liked it.

"This place is really romantic," Abi told him as she sighed.

"Hmm? It's romantic because the one you're with is me, Abigail. The place is only 10% of it," he smirked.

Oh God, why was he getting cheekier by the day?

Abi glanced at him through her mug. He wasn't wrong. She probably wouldn't have enjoyed this without him, well, at least not as much as she did now. She was happy. She was so happy to be able to spend moments like this with him again. But she couldn't say that to him.

Clearing her throat, Abi looked away and stared through the glass window. The sky was becoming more gray now. Gone was the blue sky. The village was still beautiful but seeing the sky right then made Abi finally feel like they were there for something else, and not for a vacation. She wondered why Zeke didn't tell them what the next plan was. What were they supposed to do now? She was still in the dark as to the details of this witch hunt. She wondered where he was because at that moment, she really wanted to know it too.

"What are you thinking?" Alex's voice pulled her out her thoughts.

"Uhm… I was wondering where Zeke is." she answered and Alex's face immediately darkened with displeasure.

Abi looked down, sensing how he seemed to really dislike her mentioning Zeke's name. "Uhm… I…" she tried to think of another distraction but as she tried to say something, her ears suddenly picked up a familiar type of heartbeat and her eyes widened.
