Hellbound With You (WN)

Zeke gazed at Abi with discerning eyes, as if he was trying to deduce something from her expression. He knew something must have happened to Abigail and that was why this woman was acting like this. She used to always trust his instructions and his plans or she would be placated by Alex ’s words of comfort and reassurance but it seemed that even Alex couldn ’t calm her down this time. Zeke finally confirmed that there must be a reason for her to do all this. That fear and unease she was exuding must certainly have some source and she just didn ’t want to say it, not even to Alex.

”A day, huh? ” he echoed and then added. ”Fine. Do what you want. ”

Abigail looked so relieved while Alicia quickly glanced at Zeke. Both wonder and disbelief flashed in her silver eyes for a moment. Zeke had just told her that they were not going to do anything for now and that they would wait until tomorrow night. He also said that she was to stay with Abi and Alex while he investigated that place in the west.

She had questioned Zeke when he told her about this plan because he had told Abigail ’yes ’ when she had asked if they were going to move that night but all Zeke replied was ’don ’t worry about that ’.

Suspicion began to flood Alicia ’s eyes as she looked at him. Had he anticipated this? Did he already know that Abigail would ask him to give them a day? But how did he even know? Or was this just a coincidence? Just his gut feeling?

”Thank you. Once Alex wakes up, we will leave immediately, ” she said and Zeke didn ’t say anything.

”Just the two of you? ” Alicia asked and Abi nodded.

”You said it ’s safe in this place right? ” she pointed at a place in the north.

”Yes, but, shouldn ’t I be there to conceal you two from the enemy ’s eyes? ”

”You will follow them. You ’re powerful enough to cover a large space, Alicia. You will stay along with my men in a nearby place, ” Zeke butted in and this time, it was Alicia that asked him.

”What about you? Are you not coming with us? ”

”No. ”
