When everything is over

Ezekiel held his hand towards Alicia but Alicia just stared down at his palm, still speechless. 

The groans and growls coming from Zeres intensified. It was as if someone was torturing him to the most excruciating degree. Alicia couldn't help but glance at him and she saw his wings spreading out as he screamed in pain.

"Alicia," Ezekiel spoke again, this time his tone signified haste.

Alicia returned her gaze towards Ezekiel, staring intensely into the man's eyes. When Alicia still didn't make a move, Ezekiel took a step closer towards her, causing Riev to subconsciously tighten his hold on Alicia, drawing her closer to his chest at the same time.

Ezekiel finally glanced at the wary Riev but he didn't say a word as he kept walking closer to them. Ezekiel didn't stop until he was only inches away from Alicia.
