Chapter 198: Fear of death
As Alex's gaze shifted towards Susan, he was struck by a sudden sense of unease, a creeping fear that gripped his heart with icy fingers. In that moment, his eyes widened in terror as he beheld a sight that chilled him to the core.
Instead of Susan's familiar form, he saw a dark, shadowy figure looming before him, its features twisted and contorted into a grotesque mockery of humanity. It was as if the very essence of evil itself had taken shape before his eyes, its malevolent presence casting a pall of dread over the room.
With a trembling hand, Alex reached out towards the figure, his mind reeling with confusion and fear. He could feel the weight of its gaze bearing down upon him, its eyes burning with a malevolent intensity that sent shivers down his spine.
In that moment, Alex knew that he was face to face with something beyond his comprehension, something ancient and powerful that defied explanation. It was as if he had stumbled upon a force that existed outside the bounds of reality, a dark entity that held dominion over the shadows themselves.

As the figure loomed closer, its presence suffusing the room with an oppressive sense of dread, Alex felt a primal instinct urging him to flee. But try as he might, he found himself rooted to the spot, unable to tear his eyes away from the terrifying visage before him.
In that fleeting moment of terror, Alex realized that he had ventured into a realm far darker and more dangerous than he had ever imagined. And as the figure closed in on him, its twisted form casting a long shadow over his trembling form, he knew that he stood on the precipice of a descent into madness from which there would be no return.
Alex felt a death fear inside him. Each and every moment was unbelievable for him. From the day he became a vampire, he thought that he's the Reaper who carries the judgment. Now he's feeling like he's about to face death.
As the shadowy figure loomed closer, enveloping Alex in its malevolent presence, a primal fear gripped his heart like a vice, squeezing the very breath from his lungs. In that moment, he felt as though he stood on the precipice of oblivion, teetering on the edge of a void from which there was no escape.
For so long, Alex had viewed himself as a harbinger of death, a creature of darkness who wielded the power of judgment with impunity. But now, faced with the undeniable reality of his own mortality, he found himself confronting the ultimate terror, the fear of his own demise.
Each passing moment seemed to stretch on for an eternity, as Alex grappled with the overwhelming sense of dread that consumed him. In the depths of his soul, he felt the weight of his sins bearing down upon him, a burden too heavy to bear.
As he stood on the brink of annihilation, Alex's mind raced with a thousand thoughts, each one a haunting reminder of his own mortality. He thought of all the lives he had taken, all the souls he had condemned to eternal darkness, and he knew that he would soon be held to account for his actions.
In that moment of reckoning, Alex felt a profound sense of regret wash over him, a bitter realization that his days as a creature of darkness were numbered. For the first time in his existence, he felt the cold embrace of death looming over him, its icy fingers reaching out to claim him as its own.
And as the shadowy figure closed in around him, Alex knew that he had come face to face with the true Reaper, not as a judge, but as a condemned soul awaiting its final judgment. In that moment of clarity, he understood that death was not a fate to be wielded as a weapon, but a destiny to be embraced with humility and acceptance.
He remembered he only felt a fear like that when he was with Jude. It was like something inside these two humans that was able to make even a vampire scared as hell. As the memories flooded back, Alex's mind raced with a newfound clarity. He recalled the encounters with Jude, the human whose mere presence had stirred within him a fear unlike anything he had ever experienced before.
It was as if there was something within Jude, something primal and powerful, that had the ability to strike terror into the heart of even the most formidable vampire.
In those moments with Jude, Alex had sensed a darkness that mirrored his own, a primal energy that pulsed beneath the surface like a dormant volcano waiting to erupt. It was a force that defied explanation, a presence that seemed to transcend the boundaries of mortality and immortality alike.
With a sense of unease gnawing at his gut, Alex realized that he had underestimated the true power of the human spirit. In Jude, he had encountered a force that was equal parts resilience and determination, a force that had the ability to unsettle even the most steadfast of predators.
In that moment of clarity, Alex understood that there was more to humanity than he had ever dared to imagine. Beneath the frail exterior of flesh and bone lay a strength and resilience that defied all logic, a strength that had the power to shake even the foundations of his immortal existence.
And as he grappled with the realization of his own mortality, Alex knew that he could no longer afford to underestimate the power of the human spirit. For in the depths of their souls, he had encountered a force that was as ancient and unyielding as time itself, a force that had the power to strike fear into the heart of even the most fearsome of creatures.
Alex put his hand over his head and sat down on the floor like a child. Instead of lust, fear now consumed him completely. He was crying and screaming not to kill him…
