Hellbound With You (WN)

Back on the ladder, Abigail slowly climbed up towards the roof. She was slightly shaking from both fear and the cold. It was slightly scary for her so she didn ’t dare look down as she kept climbing up, higher and higher, with a blanket dr.a.p.ed over one shoulder. After a few more steps, she was finally on the rooftop. Luckily for her, the day had been a sunny one so the roof was dry. It would have been very dangerous if it was covered with moisture or rain.

As she straightened up, a wide smile curved on her lips. This was something she had never dared to do before but was something that she thought would be an awesome experience. However, her grandparents and her father were too much of a worrywart and she was afraid that they would have a heart attack if she climbed on their roof, so she never dared. 

She didn ’t know that standing on the roof felt this refreshing. She felt the cool breeze of the air brush her face and she took a deep breath, rewarding her lungs with fresh, unpolluted air. She looked around and she could so far ahead in all directions. She even got the better view of the sunset and the twilight sky. She felt like she was on top of the world! 

Standing up on the rooftop, Abi felt free and she subconsciously spread her arms out in response to that feeling.

However, to her surprise, at that moment, someone suddenly grabbed her from behind. 

”Abigail… What the hell are you trying to do? Huh? ” Abi shivered because of the coldness in his voice. No, it wasn ’t cool indifference he emitted; it was anger. For an instant, she felt a genuine fear of him, raising the hair on her arms. 

She swallowed hard and forced herself to calm down. She slowly turned and looked at him but she quickly realised that that might have been a big mistake. As soon as she saw his darkened face and the fury in his eyes, her spine instantly turned rigid and she froze. She felt her throat dry up and she felt her heart want to leave her chest for fear of what was coming next.

This was the first time he was this angry towards her. She bit her lips to stop it from trembling before she managed to answer.

”I… I… I am working hard, Alex, ” she stammered.
