Everything became blurred under the gaze of Alaric, while my heart almosg stopped for a moment before it accelerated to an untamed rhythm. It was until I saw him advancing towards the dance floor that I snapped out of the stupor.
I climbed down hurriedly and ran towards Seth and Zeke, standing behind them, while my eyes remained glued on Alaric, who was now walking our way.
"Seth, Zeke. Don't let him take me with him." I murmured to them and cried inwardly, thinking of what to do.
"We are dead," Seth spoke in a low tone, swallowing nervously.
"I'm dead," Zeke added, wiping invisible sweat on his forehead.
I, on the other hand, was trying to figure out a good and evil plan to tame the devil before he got to us. It didn't take long, and when Alaric was only steps away from us, I took a bottle of everclear, drinking it in one go with closed eyes, then dropped down to the table.
