Chapter Text

Emily was at the hotel lobby, saying “hi”s to everyone she encountered. She was giving out the usual letters from Heaven, and was looking out for Cherry Bomb, because Ser Pentious told her to that this letter was at utmost importance.

She wanted to take it seriously

“Hey Emily” greeted her Charlie with a bright smile, which she returned eagerly, she noticed though that someone else was also with her
“Delivering letters again?” Emily nodded “This is the third load this week, man, I'm sorry, that it is this much” said Charlie with an apologetic look, while taking out a stack from the bag, and flipping through the addressed names.

“Don't worry, I'm happy that Sinners and Winners can finally communicate in a way. By the way, it is nice to meet you normally, you are Alastor, right?” asked the seraph with an opened hand for the shaking

“Quite perceptive” said the radio demon with his usual undecipherable smile, while taking her hand.

His hand felt warmer than she expected

“Oh, I thought you guys have met before” said the blonde princess, while they let their hands go

Emily instinctively moved her golden wing, as if to reassure herself, that she still had some sort of wing in it's original place, a movement that the demon noticed

“Dear Charlie, don't you think that, that memory for a little angel could be troubling to recall?” asked Alastor, with only a pinch of menace in his tone

Emily saw that this hit Charlie, and the seraph wanted to interject before she could start crying for an apology

“No, it is okay, I actually like thinking about it” said the well versed half truth with her biggest smile “it was so scary, but at the same time, I`m just happy, that we were able to save so many sinners, and that I was able to save you” she said with a more honest smile this time, while shifting her attention to Alastor

His ears flickered once, before his normal demeanor returned

“I just hope not to make a regular occurrence of it” replied with his usual grin

“Alastor! Don`t you think you should thank Emily at least?” said the blonde accusingly

The Radio demon's smile twitched just once, which Emily noticed

“Oh no, it is not necessary” she said, and then quickly gave her “bye”s before flying off

She was not sure, why this whole topic was making her uncomfortable, but all she knew was that she did not like the look in those red eyes.

She delivered all the letters, before returning to Heaven.

Crossing the pearly gates did not bring the calmness she thought it would, so she restlessly went to Sera`s office.

She had requested a more permanent stay in the Hotel, which was still not approved of, and she was getting impatient

 

A week later she was at the hotel again, with a packed bag, listening to Charlie welcoming speech

“Dear Hazbin Hotel, our best angel friend will be joining us in the work of redeeming sinners, for the foreseeable future, please welcome Emily!” everyone was happy, and all of them went up to her to personally give their greetings

She talked with so many people, that she was beginning to feel the fatigue of it all, and unknowingly went to the bar to order a drink from Husk.

“Drinking already on the job?” joked the cat demon, before putting down a virgin Mojito in front of her

She smiled gratefully before taking it, not noticing the other person who appeared from the shadows on the bar stool, watching her with interest.

“I see that you already familiarized yourself with the most important part of this establishment” came the radio voice with audible smirk

Her eyes went straight to the source of the voice

“Hi Alastor, sorry, I did not notice you at the bar before, how are you?” she asked with a cheerful attitude

“I`m well, thank you, how do you find your welcome?”

“I love meeting everyone!”

“Ohh, quite interesting, do you love meeting rapists and murderers?” he asked with intoxicating sarcasm.

She was taken aback by it

“They are all here to repent and redeem themselves, we should give a chance for everyone” she said, but her voice was less self assured as she hoped for

“Well not everyone is here for such pure intentions” he mentioned, before finishing his whiskey and melting away into the shadows again

She was looking frantically for him, searching the lobby with her eyes.

“Hey, if you want a piece of advice, whatever you do, keep your distance from him” said Husk to her seriously, while wiping a glass in his hand “and whatever you do, don't ever get into any deals with him”

Her eyebrows went up in question, what did he mean by it?
He sighed

“Look, I'm not sure how it works, in Heaven, but here in Hell, people can make deals for their souls, people can sell their souls, and then they would be forever on another demon's leash” he spitted the last words, before turning away to put the glass in it's place

She needed a bit more info

“Wait, but if it's a deal, then wouldn't that mean, you get something out of it as well?” she asked with curiosity laced into her words

“Those fuckers know how to twist words, so you may not get anything out of it” Husk said with an annoyed tone

He sighed again

“Please just promise me to not do any deal with Alastor or anyone else” he said with a calmer voice

“Öhmm okay, but what is so wrong with Aalstor?”

“He is dangerous, selfish and would do anything to get more power, having an angel in his arsenal would be a goal of his” he said with the annoyance in his tone again

She had to think this over

After she went to bed, she was still thinking about it.

She did not know Alastor that well, or even at all, but she knew that she believed in Charlie`s dream.

Anyone could be redeemed

 

She slept absolutely nothing the night before, and was up at 6am, walking around the floors of the hotel, to figure out which was Alastor`s room

 

She knocked after half hour of searching

She knew it was too early, but for the life of her, she could not sleep until this plan was put in motion

The door opened on her second knock, with an unamused Alastor, holding a whiskey drink in his hand, and looking disheveled.

It seemed someone else also had trouble sleeping

“Hey Alastor, good morning, sorry for the intrusion, may I come in?”

He let her in without a word, and signaled for her to sit down at his couch

“To what do I owe the please of your sudden visit?” he asked with fake kindness in his voice, while he sat at the armchair across from her

“I want to make a deal with you” she said, and visibly saw the light return into his blood red eyes

“Ohh” he smirked while pulling his drink to his lips “And what would you like to offer?”

“My soul” she said and the light in the room blinked once, while every lamp started to move with a green hue. She was too distracted to notice his eyes following her every breath

“Ohh, isn`t that interesting?” his smirk grew while he leaned forward in his chair “And what would you like in return?” his words were slippery with sweetness, she was almost getting dizzy from all stimulation at once

“You have to try earnestly and honestly to redeem yourself and get to heaven” she said, feeling proud of her idea.

If her theory was true, then he could redeem himself, and then her soul would belong to her again after. No problems at all

“And what happens if I still don't make it to heaven?” he put his drink down, and leaning back on the chair with laced fingers.

“You will make it” she said with her biggest smile

“That is your theory, but what happens in case I don't make it?” he asked again, still studying her

She had to think about it, it would only be a hypothetically, because she was sure anyone could be redeemed with the right help and attitude

If he still remained in hell, then she supposed she would have to stay as well

“Then we remain here, and continue” she said, not noticing the fast light shift in his eyes

“I accept” he said while he was getting up, watching her expectantly

ohh yeah, this would have to be the time when they shake hands, and the deal is officially made

She got up fast as well, and grabbed his reached out hand

Chapter Text

The room was spinning with her in green thunders as the handshake was completed.

Her feathers were messed up, as she was feeling a red chain wrap around her neck, taking her breath away for a second.

Her hands instinctively went up to her neck, yet she felt no actual chain between her fingers, but the truth was scared into her mind, she was chained to him with all her being.

He started to laugh and his antlers grew

She snapped her eyes to him, and saw him laughing menacingly while some of the green little energy bursts were still sparking between them.

He was unsettling her and she was feeling it in her gut

“I truly had no idea that today would bring me this” he said, running his hand through his hair, his grin was getting wider “This calls for a celebration, care to share a drink with me” he said while he walked towards his shelf where the whiskeys were kept.

She wanted to say that she didn't drink, but the words were escaping her

She was not sure if what he said was a question or not

If it wasn't a question, then it was an order

And if it was an order, then her whole soul wanted to do whatever he would ask for

So she remained quite, watching him pour a fresh drink for her with his back facing her.

She never realized that he was so tall

“After all, it is not everyday that I get the key to become the most powerful sinner in hell” he said while turning to her

She wanted to disagree with him, to tell him that he'll be redeemed and then this will all be over, but her voice was just not coming out.

He gave her the drink, and she robotically raised it to her lips after the clink between their glasses.

It tasted awful, so bitter and strong.

She made a face to it which captured his attention

“Is the whiskey not to your liking?”

“No, it's bitter” she said, but her wings clapped around her frame, as if to protect her from his potential wrath
The display made him put his drink down, and take hers out of her hands as well.

He held her hand until the action was done, and looked into her periwinkle eyes knowingly

“It seems that making a deal with a seraph is a little different.” he squeezed her knuckles “ You only need to follow my orders, when I say `I order you`, clear?” he said and did not let go of her hands until she nodded.

“Good, it seems you were taking everything I said as an order, so I want to be clear with you” Alastor explained as he walked away, letting go of her hands, which now felt colder then before. She rubbed them together for some comfort

“I want you to keep our deal between us, you can't tell a soul” he said as he took another gulp “I order you” he said finally, which gave the chains around her neck a tug.

“What about your redemption?” she asked, finally finding her voice, he raised an eyebrow at her “Your end is that you try to become better and get to heaven” she said starring at him with new found bravery

“Ohh yeah, that pesky little thing” he finished his drink, and sat the glass down “I suggest that I don't take part in the official programs at the hotel, since I find it ridiculous”

“But then how do you plan to do it?” she asked, getting angry

“Don't need to jump to the worst conclusions dear, I'm merely saying that we'd have to do private tutoring on this, since if I find the program at the hotel ridiculous then I'd not take it seriously, and our deal would be done so already” he said as he approached her, and petted her hand with faux sweetness “And we can't have that” he leaned into her face, smugly smiling at her.

She felt her face getting heated up

Emily had no one who was ever sweet yet mean to her in such a twisted way. She was out of ideas on how she should have even reacted to it, the only thing she knew was that his eyes were making her uncomfortable. His stare was perverse, as if he already knew every secret of her, and was smiling knowingly.

She wanted to get out, to get some air from him

He sighed, and went to his mirror, continuing his studying of her through it

“We shall met here, every night at 8pm, please do come with a plan on what will I have to try for redemption.” he had started to laugh again, his ears flattening as he spoke “Now, continue your normal plan for the day, see you dear after dinner” he said with a mockery of a smile as he signaled the door to her.

She took it as fast as she could, saying a quick “bye” as she dashed out.

He heart was racing and a terrible feeling was creeping up in her stomach, as more radio laugh was ringing in her ear

 

Her day went by so slowly that she was sure someone had to have tampered with the clocks or something

When she could finally finish up at 6pm and went to the dining hall for dinner, she noticed that Husk was watching her

She waved at him, but he just turned back to the drinks

Odd

As she went to eat, she was with her eyes searching for the radio demon, but he was nowhere to be found.

She still had to think up the plan for the night, but overall had no idea where to even begin with him

Emily set next to Charlie and Vaggie, who were debating whether or not to replace Husk from Psychology class

“He is just insulting the residents” said Vaggie, as she slurped her pasta

“But he enjoys it” replied Charlie with enthusiasm “What do you think Emily?”

“I don`t know, how should a good Psychology class look like?” she asked as she put her spoon into her mouth

“I think people just need to open up and talk about their feelings” said Charlie to which Vaggie rolled her eye

“Yes, of course babe, but they first need to trust you to open up. You cant just be mean to them, the way Husk is, and expect them to start talking about their most intimate mistakes”

“Yeah, you are right, maybe you should try” she looked at her girlfriend with pleading eyes, and Emily saw how much this worked on the fallen angel.

She was thinking about, that maybe on their first appointment, she could try to establish trust between them, so then Alastor would tell her why he is in hell

Yes!

That seemed like the line she should take

With new determination, she flew out, back to her room, to write down her ideas

She was almost giddy with excitement as she knocked on Alastor`s door exactly at 8pm

As the door opened, she saw him, now dressed in his usual attire, with an undecipherable smile

“Good evening, please do come in” he said as he stepped to the side so she could enter
His room was the same as before, half of the room being a normal hotel room, and the other half breaching out into a lush forest.

“Thanks, hey I forgot to ask, is this like a pocket dimension here?” she asked, because truth be told, she was way to preoccupied in the morning with the more important matter to muse over the forest

“Yes, I've made it ever since I moved in” he said, and pointed at the couch for her

When both of them were seated, Emily took out her notebook and cleared her throat.

“So, I thought that the best thing to start with is for you to tell me the sin that got you into heaven.” she said, taking out the pen and turning the page to a blank one

“That is quite a hard intro” he murmured “but fine, since I have to give an honest try here, but I order you that you can`t tell anyone” he said with darkened voice, and for the first time since the morning the chain around her neck gave another tug

It gave her goosebumps

She nodded, starring focused at him

“I think I'll have a drink with it” he got up and went to his shelf where he kept his alcohol. “would you care for whiskey with coke?” he asked, as he pulled out a bottle of the dark drink. She was just about to shake her head, when he continued “It is much sweeter then”

“Then yes, I'd like to try, I love sugar” she said, clapping her hands together

When he put the drink in front of her, she eagerly took a sip, and was surprised on how much nicer it tasted.

“So, should I begin at the very beginning?” he asked, as he took a sip of his drink as well
She nodded which made him sigh

“Our tale begins then at the tail end of the 19th century in New Orleans, Louisiana. There was a woman who newly moved to New Orleans, due to a job opportunity to work for a wealthy white man as a seamstress, her name was Aimee.” to the mention of her name, he took another sip “she was young, and during her first few years in there, she began a relationship with the son of her employer. And wouldn't you know it, she got pregnant.” he sighed again “But during that time, marriage was outlawed between people like them and the whites, so they kept it a secret. Soon enough, everyone knew from whom her baby was born, but as long as no one said anything, she was still allowed to work. Her little boy then grew up, not knowing why his father treated him like a servant boy, or why his father's other children, with his white wife, were enjoying burning his skin, while they laughed at it”

Emily put her hand to her mouth

“That is horrible”

“The little boy also did not understand, why his meere stayed there, as she was not treated any better. So life went on like this, until the old man at the mansion died, everything changed during that time” he said, as his eyes darkened “The wife of the little boy's father wanted to thrown them out to the streets. The boy, 13 at the time, had dared to talk back, so he got punched in the face by his father. The white man then went on to pull him up from the floor with his hair. His mom was crying and begging for mercy, even telling them the secret that she was with child again. That was the worst thing she could've said.” his head was lowered “The man let go of the boy, because he threw himself at his mom, chocking her, saying that she'll not bring a halfwit into this word again” The boy was shocked, and could only watch as the life was chocked out of his mom. That was the biggest mistake of his life.” his voice sounded desperate, and Emily without realizing it, put her hand on top of his, and squeezed it, while her tears were streaming down on her face.

He let her do that, but did not make an effort to hold her hand

“The boy took the knife he always carried with him, and stabbed his father in the throat. Did the same with every last white person at the mansion.”

He sighed deeply while Emily was holding her breath

“The boy then thought to himself, that he should have done that sooner, that his meere would still be with him, if he hadn't been weak. So the boy swore to not be weak again. He was willing to kill every single trash that stood in his way.”

He took a long sip with his free hand

“The smell of blood was something the boy, later man begun to enjoy, more so the smell of precious white blood being spilled.” to this Emily`s stomach went into a knot

“The man realized that most people where trash, and that they deserved to be dealt with. So that is why this man ended up in hell, because he begun to enjoy the torture that he could give” he said as he looked at her for the first time during this story, with a manic smile

She snapped her hands away from his, his stare was making her uneasy

“But hell had their own punishment for this man” he said, closing his lips, with a knowing smirk

“What do you mean?” she asked

“His skin color, of why he was tortured and mistreated his whole life, of why his meere had to die...hell turned it lighter, as if to mock him” he spitted and finished his drink

She looked at his skin, it was grayish brown, but she assumed in life it looked different

He stared at her, with his red eyes

She realized that maybe she would be able to do something about it

Emily concentrated her energy into the tip of her finger, but just as she thought she could release the energy, it was gone.

She looked at it confused

Alastor started to laugh

“My dear, I don't think you can override hell's demon creation”

“I'm sorry, I though maybe I would be able to give back your skin tone”

“No need, I've lived close to 90 years with this, have gotten more or less used to it” he said, but she could tell from his tone, that he did not mean any of it

“Now, did what I tell you proved useful?” he asked

“Ohh, well...so your sin was murder?” she asked again

He snickered

“My sin isn't only murder, it is enjoying it” he said as he starred into her eyes, while getting into her space

“You enjoy it?” she asked, with breathed breath

“Of course I do” he said and she turned pale

“Now dear, what should I do to redeem that?” he asked

Emily`s feathers ruffled up and she got up and started circling the room while Alastor poured himself another drink, and watched her with amuse

She did not even know where to begin

She had a theory, that if someone is a murderer, then their way to redemption would be saving lives, which was already a hard thing to replicate, but redeeming the act of the enjoyment of murder?

How was she supposed to do that?
She was getting a headache while she heard a faint laugh behind her

“Are you in trouble little dove?” he asked with a grin

“Aalstor...” she looked at him, lost in all if it “I think...maybe we should start in small...” she mused

“Please do tell what do you mean? I'll do according to your instruction” he said in an ironic tone

“Maybe, for now, just stop killing people, and start to do a psychology class with me. I'll research it, so we can figure out why do you enjoy...ohmm...it”

“Sure, no problem” he said with a smug face, which surprised her, because she thought that he would put up a fight or something

“Now, we have a plan for me, so let's turn our attention to you” he said as he starred at her with eyes that took her breath away

“What do you mean?” she asked while sitting down

“Ohh, just that I intent to ask you nicely if you could track my dear father down here?” he said with a sickly sweet tone

She started to get scared

“What? Why do you want to do that?” she asked, and he chuckled

“I want to capture him, put him into my staff, and broadcast his screams in the radio while he is tortured” he said as his antlers grew bigger and wider, while his face darkened

He positively looked like a devil

“But that would be against your redemption”

“Uh uh uh” he put his index finger in front of her “you do my redemption plan, and you said for now, I should stop murdering people, you said no such thing about torture”

She started to really panic

“No, Alastor, you can't do that, and you can't use me for this”

“Can't I?” he asked while he leaned into her face “I own you”

She started to cry

“No, please don't make me do this” she started to beg, with laced up fingers but he already got up from the couch

She wanted to reach after him, but he was faster

“Your redemption plan for me is no more killing, so I'm working within it” he said as his right arm raised into the air, and she felt the chain around her neck pull her towards him

He only did one pull, but that was enough for her to fall on the couch with her upper body

As she raised up, tears still in her eyes, she wanted to gather enough power to attack him, but her angelic bubbles were not coming

She looked at her palm with confusion

“You can't attack the person who owns your soul” he said, his smile not faltering

She begun to cry harder now

The reality of her decision sinking finally in

How was she supposed to save someone like him?

“Now now, don't need to fret” he walked up to her, and gave her a tissue, which she took with unsteady hands

“For now, I don't make you do wile things, you just have to track him down and bring him to me” he said, which did not calm her down

He sat back down next to her, and took her notebook and pen from the coffee table.

After some scribbling he gave her the note

`Albert Robinson, born 19th of January, 1870, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA , died 5th of April, 1910`

She was starring at it, and was slowly shaking her head

He was getting impatient with her

“Emily, I order you to track him down and bring him to me now” he said and she felt the chain tightening around her neck

Chapter Text

Emily has been flying in the direction of the hotel. It has taken her the whole night to locate and capture Alastor`s father. He was in his room, sleeping, and Emily put him into her bubble, and also put him under sleep, where he was not bothered when she lifted him up with smaller bubbles, and slowly started to carry him in the air to the hotel.

He was tall and skinny, with a head of a doberman dog.

She was still sniffing in the air, but the cries themselves had subsidized.

She needed to figure out how to stop Alastor

And she had a plan but that required talking with the radio demon again

She flew into his room through the window, and slowly levitated Albert into the room as well.

“Welcome back” said Alastor behind her, with a satisfied grin, with blood thirsts in his eyes and the most maniacal grin she has ever seen on him, as he was watching the sinner she brought in

She just sighed

After Albert was safely on the ground, and still continued to sleep, she turned to him

“Alastor, I want to talk to you” she said with tired but determined demeanor

He sighed as well

“Very well, but don't make it long.” he said as he started to leave the room, and she followed him with little surprise

They went down to the lobby without any words exchanged between them

It was still too early for anyone to be awake, so they sat down at the big couch. He was sitting further from her, while holding his staff

“So, I wanted to talk about your redemption plan” she said while she tried her best to get her usual enthusiasm back, before the tiredness would take her over

“Yeah, what about it?” he asked, with impatience

“Well, I've been thinking, and I think you need more than one appointment a day” she said, putting her hands at her waist. To this, he just raised an eyebrow

“Is that why we are here? You intend that we have now a therapy session?”

“YES!” she almost screamed in her excitement, while he just grunted at it

“I suppose I'll have to do it” he said, while his ears flattened

“YAAYY, thank you!!!” she flew up, animated, to which he just puffed once in annoyance.

“Can we please get it over with? I have more important matters to attend to” he said while he rubbed his hand on his staff

She went back down on the couch, and tried to calm herself
“So...” she looked his way “you can't torture anyone anymore”

To this his head snapped up

“You can't expect me to do that” he said with visible anger

“But, you have to take redemption seriously! Do you think anyone in heaven likes torture?” she asked, but saw that he was preparing a contra argument “Adam and the exorcists do not count” she replied, which made him chuckle

“But why don't they? Honestly...” he said, and she was guessing, to potentially get a rise out of her

“Just don't, and let's focus on you” she said with her smile returning “No torture from now on”

“Fine” he said “No more torturing souls with violence” he said, and she nodded to it

His smile was wider a tiny bit

Wait

“Alastor, also no mental torture” she said, to which he got up annoyed and did a round around the couch

“Fine!” he huffed and went back to his previous place on the couch

“Yayy!”” she started to clap with her hands, now excited while he was sitting there with folded arms, ears turned down, looking as annoyed as ever

“You guys are already up?” came the question from behind them, from Charlie, still wearing her pijamas

Alastor composed himself in a second and appeared in front of her

“Oh don't worry, we were just talking, right?” he said as he looked back with an expression at Emily, that said `not a word about this`
“Cool, but since when are you guys friends?” came the casual question from Charlie to which Emily heard a faint radio noise

“I highly doubt the little dove considers me a friend” he said as he remained standing while Charlie also took a seat

“Of course I consider you my friend” she gave the reply, which seemed to annoy him even more

“Aww, that is so nice of you Emily, Alastor could be a real jerk, so thank you for trying to befriend him” said Charlie to which Emily gave a questioning look

“Well, it's been nice and all, but I have to take care of something” he said, while he got up, and started to make his way towards his room

Emily became scared, that he would do something bad to his father, so she run after him, and grabbed his arm

“Please can I come with you?” she asked, but he only jerked his arm out of her hold

“Absolutely not” he said, and continued to walk towards his room

Emily felt at a loss, while the blonde was speechless behind her

“Ohhmm, Emily, do you like Alastor?” she asked, with a noticeable high pitched voice

She looked at Charlie with a slight confusion

“What do you mean? Like romantically?” she asked, starting to feel embarrassed already as she went back to sit next to the blonde

“Yes, the way you went after him and grabbed his arm, it looked so cute, so just tell me if you like him, and I'll be your wing woman” she grinned at her with enthusiasm

“Ohh no, I've never liked anyone, doubt it's ever gonna happen” she said, but for some reason this basic fact saddened her a bit

“What, really?? No one?” she asked with open mouth

“Yeah, Abel had asked me on a date like 100 years ago, I went just because I thought maybe the feelings would come if I nudge them, but...well they did not, and I made Abel sad...” she said as she hugged herself with her arms and wings

Charlie put a hand on her arm with a reassuring smile

“It's okay” she said and squeezed her arm “Just do what would make you happy, no need for romance if you are not feeling it” she said, and Emily felt better hearing it and smiled back

“Thank you” she said “Now, sorry Charlie, but I need to catch up with Alastor” she said as she flew out of the lobby

Unbeknownst to her Charlie just laughed and said to no one in particular
“She's into him”

 

She was able to catch up to him at his room, and saw from his door frame that he opened an attic, was there even an attic in his hotel room?, and had thrown the still knocked out sinner and closed the little door with a lock

“Was that another pocket dimension?” she asked, when he turned to her

“Yes, must you follow me everywhere?” he asked, with irritation seeping through him

“What do you plan to do to him?” she was panicking

“Since I'm unable to kill or torture him, I'm locking him away, until I`m free of the shackles of redemption” he said as he went to his mirror, and begun to fix his bow tie

She let out a breath she had no idea she was holding
Okay, at least she averted that disaster

The fatigue was starting to catch up to her

“Thank you, I'll go, see you at the therapy later” she waved and flew off in the direction of her room.

 

She woke up from her nap, which lasted 7 hours, feeling slightly frazzled, but well rested.

Of course she did not feel it, when she was panicking about it, until she found Charlie and apologized for sleeping over the whole day, and not helping with redemption.

“Really, If I know you are preoccupied with something, then just let me know, and you can get off days.”said Charlie with a reassuring smile that made Emily feel much better

“Thank you, and I'm really sorry, I was just so tired, and I overslept 7 alarms” she said as she started to get annoyed with herself, to which Charlie raised an eyebrow

“Can I ask why were you so tired?”

“Ohmm...I...” she started to fidget “I'm doing a project on something, but I can't tell you yet” she said ,next to Charlie's even bigger questioning face, she saw in the background something red passing by

Alastor!

He was walking out of the lobby, on the way to the entrance

She was starring to which Charlie took notice, but before the blonde could say anything, Emily was already gone, flying towards the radio demon with angelic speed

“Alastor!” she yelled, to which he looked into her direction before she abruptly stopped in the air before him

She almost flew into him

That would've been awkward

He just studied her with a closed smile

“Yes? What can I help you with?” he asked, and if she wouldn't have known better, she would've thought that he was being nice

“Are you going out?” she asked cheerfully

“Yes, I'm going to pick up some meat for the Jambalaya” he said and her eyes filled with joy

“Whatt?? You go out to town?? Can I come?? I haven't seen much of hell yet! I so want to see it” she said with laced fingers, practically begging him to take her with him

His smile twitched

“Yes, Alastor, please can you show her around? I cant trust that many people with her safety” said Charlie smugly

The blonde could totally tell that he was about to turn Emily down, but she would be dead if she didn't help the angel

“Fine, but I'm going to cannibal town” he said, with an evil grin, to which Emily's smile faded.

“Cannibal town?” she asked, as if to make sure she heard him right

“Yes, do you have a problem with cannibals?” he said, as he casually rubbed his staff with one hand, while he watched her with half eye

“Will they want to eat me?” she asked and he begun to laugh, while taking her arm and dragged her towards the door
“Oh come now, not all of them would want to eat you, just most.” he said as her eyes grew more scared “You have a few more wings left , no?” he said

“Come on Alastor, stop joking” said Charlie but made no attempt at stopping him

He laughed again as he was dragging her, against her will out of the door

“Charlie” she looked back at the blonde with desperation, only for charlie to give her a thumps up and a smile

 

On the way to Cannibal town she magicked away her wings and halo, just to feel more safe that no Cannibal would eat them, while Alastor was just like a new person, talking her ears off with gruesome ways a human body could be cooked

“So this is why humans taste somewhat like pork” he said with enthusiasm, to which her empty stomach just decided to never eat pork again

“Thanks, I think I could have lived without knowing that fact” she said sourly

“Ohh, don't be a sour puss, I haven't even told you how crunchy the skin can get if you fry it” he said and she just made a scrunched up face at it

Wait

“Are you a cannibal?” she asked, feeling stupid of not figuring it out sooner

“Of course my dear, after all, we are in hell, it would be a waste not to get to know the local cuisine” he said as he continued to drag her from her arm down the rosy streets

“But...no!! I'll forbid cannibalism at the next therapy” she said with puffed up face

“Ohh, so at least I have tonight's dinner to still enjoy” he mused while not missing how she connected another information

“Waaiitt!!! You are telling me that you want to buy meat here to cook at the hotel??” she asked and could feel how proud of himself he felt in his grin, while she just wanted to not deal with anymore surprises from him

Seriously?!

Cannibalism on top of everything?!!

She started to feel like Ser Pentious on his first day in Heaven, when she tried to show him around

“Ohh come now” he said as he dragged her into a clothing store.

She instantly snapped out of her previous gloominess when she saw the store with all the beautiful, older style dresses

And there were so many well dressed ladies in this store, if it wouldn't have been those black orbs that were there on everyone instead of their eyes, she would've thought they were normal ladies.

“Ohh Alastor” came a sweet voice from the back of the store “How have you been?” a lady with a big pink hat came out and greeted him

“I`ve been well, just came to drop by, and tell you the news” he said in front of her, as he pointed his hand at Emily

The lady called Rosie turned to her now, and studied her before her black orbs widened

“An angel?” she whispered “I think we'll need to discuss this more privately” she said as she motioned for them to follow her to the back

Once they were in the back room, sitting at a coffee table with prepared English tea, the questions begun

“So, Alastor, sweety, tell me what is this?” she asked while she sipped her tea with much interest
“Ohh, just that I own her soul” he said as his eyes reddened with glow, and he tugged the chain once around her neck, as a showcase

She almost spit out her drink

Whatt??

Didn't he tell her not to tell a soul, and now he was divulging this info?

“Wow, you certainly aim high” said Rosie, while still studying her “Deer, are you and Archangel? “ she asked her

“Yes” she replied nervously

“How did you do it? What did you have to offer to her?” she asked him, and Emily saw the red glow fade from his eyes, as he sat down, with folded arms and low ears

“That annoyance” he murmured, not answering the lady's question

She turned her face towards Emily

“Sweetheart, what did you ask for, from him?” she asked, and Emily wanted to reply, but her order was not to tell a soul, even if they knew about it already

Alastor just puffed next to her

“I have to give redemption an honest shot” he said in an almost angry tone

To which Rosie begun to laugh so whole heartily that Emily almost felt nostalgic. In heaven such laugh was not rare

“Oh my lords” she was still laughing, and had to wipe away little gray tears

The radio demon was still sitting annoyed

“This is hilarious” she said after her emotions were more in control “I thought for a moment you were jesting” she said and almost begun another round of laughter “But then seeing your face now, I can tell it's true” she said and huffed out before she took another sip of her tea

“I can't even tell which one of you has the shorter end of the stick” she giggled again

“Yeah yeah, laugh at me” he said under his nose, to which the lady just smirked

“But I can tell that this is gonna blow up in your faces” she said knowingly before finishing her tea.

Emily started to dread talking about it

“I did not come here to listen to your remarks” he said

Rosie just shrugged

“Let me guess, you forbade her from talking about it” she said, motioning at Emily

Emily could only nod at this

“Okay, then let's talk about something else, it's been such a long time since I could talk with a new lady here, what is your name?” she asked nicely

“It's Emily, but you can call me Emmy, Em, E, I go by whatever” she said with a big smile

“Oh, quite a charming young lady” said Rosie, looking pointedly at Alastor ”Well, would you like to see Alastor in his human form” she asked and Emily did not know for a moment what to think

But Alastor knew

“And why would you want to show that?” he asked with visible anger, but Rosie was already up, gathering potions from the kitchenette

“Ohh come on Alastor, wouldn't you also like to reminisce?” she asked, as she petted his head with her free hand. A notion that made him even more angry, Emily thought maybe he did not like being petted

“So dear?” looked at her pointedly Rosie

“Yes, I'd really like to see it” she said and Alastor just huffed back to the armchair with folded arms.

“I knew you'd be fun” said the lady before getting a mini cauldron and dumping the green and pink looking potions in

As the potions mixed, and started to evaporate into the air, a circle formed and in it a scene started to play out

It was a busy town, with a city train, and the people in it dressed in a different style, more retro.

She heard smooth jazz in from somewhere, and begun to relax a bit. It seemed like such a nice city, with the sun and people.

Then a man came to the scene

He had brown hair, darker skin, and an unmistakable smile

Her throat went dry and pulse sped up

She watched as his expressions changed during the different scenes. He was put together during the radio recordings, and dinner parties.

Then his face twisted into something else when he was stabbing people, and getting rid of their bodies.

What was this?

Why was she so focused on his face?

She felt her face heating up, and couldn't look away from the man in front of her.
He was the most beautiful, attractive, enticing and all around interesting man she has ever seen.

She wished she could meet him, and talk to him

While the soul of that man was not far behind, watching her.

Chapter Text

The walk back was quite.

Emily knew why she was in deep thoughts, but had no clue what was he thinking about

Her thoughts were of Alastor, but as a human

She wanted to think about him more, but...she felt she should do it later.
So she boxed up those thoughts.

They stopped right at a butcher where Alastor opened the door, and let her in first.

The store looked relatively normal, as normal as a butcher could've looked for her, except she saw human parts on display

He stomach turned again, threatening to give out a tea she drank at Rosie's

“Hello my friend, can I get one of the regular, and 800gr of pork as well” he said as the man behind the counter just waved and started to prepare the human calf.

“Alastor! Can't you please not order human meat?” she asked, walking up to him, which only made him grin some more.

“How can I not? After all, you'll forbid it tonight at therapy” he said, and nodded to the man to continue with packing up the meat

She pouted at how annoyed she was

“Okay, but can you get something other than pork, please?” she asked with folded arms
He begun to laugh at her, and point his finger into her puffed up cheek

“You can't eat pork anymore, because I compared it to human meat” he said between laughs, as he was poking her face

“Fine” he said at the end, turning to the butcher “replace the pork with chicken if you please” he said and watched from the corner of his eye, as she visibly relaxed

Okay, after tonight he won't eat anymore human meat, so at least they are going on the right track

She sighed and started to stare out of the window, while the sun was setting. She had no idea hell could be this beautiful, but now that she was there, she suddenly felt the urge not to return to Heaven.

Heaven felt like a dream, so fluffy, perfect sweet and bright, yet in that moment she felt that she just wanted to wake up from the dream

Why did hell have such an effect on her, she could not say

“Let's go” said Alastor next to her, with two bags on his arm.

She just nodded and as they walked, they fell back into the quietness from before

 

The night went by fast after that

She just ate dinner, had her therapy session with Alastor where she basically forbade him of being a cannibal.

He accepted it without much protest, and soon after that she just wanted to go to sleep, feeling that the day had been long

But as she was in bed, all she could think about was human Alastor

She was still getting hot and bothered by the thoughts of him.

She was thinking how it would have been if she could've met him, how their conversation would have gone.

How he could have touched her arm, shoulders and much more

How he could've pushed her down into the grass and touch her in more places

At one point she reached between her legs and came face to face with the fact that she was wet

She started to scream into her pillow in frustration

Of all the men in the word, why was human Alastor the first one she found attractive? And to this degree?

But the crazier thing for her was that she found him, while he was killing and hiding bodies, also sexy

What was wrong with her?

Unknowingly she begun to touch herself while thinking of his touch. As if his fingers were touching her

That was her first time ever masturbating, and it was to thoughts about a murderer

She came for the first time ever in her life, screaming his name into her pillow

She was so satisfied that she fell asleep shortly after in her bliss

When she woke up though the next day, the reality of what she had done sank in

Oh my god!!!

How was she supposed to see him and look him in the eye now?

Sure, she wasn't masturbating to his current look, but human Alastor was still him!

And she was moaning his name...

She started to scream into her pillow again

Why???

What was wrong with her??

She couldn't stay the whole morning in her room though, and decided to face the day, and do her best acting in case she would've seen him

To her surprise the day went by very fast, without encountering him

She was relieved, but it did not last long, when Lucifer came to have talk with them in the lobby.

As the king of hell sat next to Charlie, his eyes went to her neck in a pointed look, and she instantly knew that he knew

He knew that she sold her soul

Without the notice of anyone, he signaled for her to follow him later to the rooftop

As they were alone there he begun

“What were you even thinking?” he asked, as his horns came out and his voice distorted

“I thought that would be the only way to save him” she said solemnly, in retrospect she knew that she should've done more research on him before going into a deal, but she still believed he could be redeemed

Lucifer calmed down a bit, and asked her kindly

“Why would you want to save him that much?” his eyes were starring into her soul “What are you getting from him?” he asked, and she was feeling the urge to talk to him, tell him everything but the words were not coming out

Oh yeah, her order

She just shook her head

“He gave an order” she said, and the blonde instantly understood

“He ordered you not to talk about it” he said, more to himself and he shook his head also in disbelief “I have to tell Sera” he turned, and was intending to leave but Emily went to stand in his way

“Please don't tell anyone” she said, begging with tears in her eyes

“The deal has to be broken, or who knows what happens” he told her sadly while starring into the ground “You could end up like me” he said, and she almost lost her balance

Being like Lucifer?

A fallen angel?

But she just wanted to save people

With a deep breath and new resolve, she looked at Lucifer

“Please trust me” she said and that seemed to have moved something in him

He sighed as well and just said

“Alright. But if I see it getting worse, I'll intervene” he said and she could only nod to it

She knew already that she would have to work harder to save him, but now she had this extra pressure.

“Well, do you want some pancakes” he asked awkwardly and she could only giggle at it

They went into the direction of the kitchen.

“So, besides that shit reindeer, how do you find hell?” he asked, and she laughed at the nickname

“I like it a lot here” she said with a smile “The sinners are nice, and I hope soon many will arrive in heaven”

“Yeah that would be great” Lucifer said with a dreamy look “How is Abel?” he asked

“I think the pressure of leadership was getting to him, but last I saw him, he was staring to stand his ground against Lute” she said as he opened the door to the kitchen

“Didn't you guys used to bonk?” he asked,in the same moment as she realized someone else was in the kitchen

Alastor was wearing an apron, while cutting up meticulously the chicken they bought together the previous day. He looked up at them with an annoyed expression

Oh no

She turned immediately to Lucifer

“No we weren't” she said with a golden blushed face to which the king of hell just looked at her confused

“Okay okay” he said with raised up hands “kids these days” he said as he went more in and noticed the Radio demon “Why are you here?”

“I`m preparing dinner” he said as he sliced a piece of chicken pointedly “and I`d like to be in peace” he turned back to the meats

“Can you believe this guy?”turned to her the blonde, but she was too focused to on Alastor to actually hear what he said

After fantasizing so much about his human form the night before, she suddenly was starring at him, trying to notice what had he carried over into his sinner life from before.

He was still tall and thin, the smile was the same, just more demonic, his curly hair was gone, and his eyes were so red and deep, enticing even.

“Did you hear what I said” waved Lucifer his hand in front of her face, and she snapped out of it

“Yeah sorry” she said as she rubbed her head “Alastor. Can we help you with cooking?” she asked as she walked up to him

“Why?” he asked as he put the knife down while he faced her

“I`d like to learn how to cook” she smiled “And later we could all eat together” she said and both men looked at her weirdly

“I can teach you how to cook, but that mother fucker can't stay here” said Alastor as he pointed his hand with the knife at Lucifer

Lucifer just puffed up like a bird and went next to them

“You piece of shit! It isn`t enough that you own her soul, now you want to be alone with her? Not under my watch!” he declared

“Oh, so you know” he said with a sinister smile “Then I guess this would be easy, Emily I order you to kick him out of my kitchen!” he said and the chains around her neck gave a tug.

She grabbed his arm and started to forcefully drag him out, while he protested annoyingly and called Alastor some colorful names.

When he was out she shut the door on him. As the order was completed she yelled out “Sorry!!” and she heard a grumble and an “it's okay” from him

Now that they were alone, the awkwardness seeped back in and she did not know what to do with herself.

“Bring me the onions and bell peppers” he said, not looking up again from his task at the chopping board

“What are you cooking?” she asked as she sheepishly grabbed the vegetables

“Jambalaya” he said as he took the bell pepper from her hand. His touch left goosebumps on her arms

“Ohh really??? Never had it. How does it taste? Is it spicy? Does it use sugar?” she blubbered with a high pitched voice

He just laughed

“It is spicy, but I'm afraid there is no sugar in it” he said as he looked at her, and she almost forgot how to breath

She was seeing the mannerism from him from his human life

If he noticed anything of it, ha payed no mind to it, as he turned back to chopping

“I have an order for you” he said but did not look at her

The frazzled her up

“I order you to go tonight to the Vees to spy on them, and let me know what they are planning” he said with noticeably less energy than before, his expression was almost sad

“Are you okay?” she asked, and not knowing what to do, she put her hand on his shoulder

He just put back his usual grin and bravado

“Why on earth would I not be okay?” he said sarcastically “Now go”

She only lowered her gaze and climbed out thought the window

She was feeling upset for some reason in the way he reacted to her

Was he keeping the distance from her?

But why?

She was mulling on these thoughts as she approached the Vees tower. She landed in a back alleyway near the building, and magicked her wings and halo away. She was not sure how could she spy on them, but thought at least she could make some animal like thing to go into the building and tell her later what they've seen

She conjured up her power and above her head came to be a little gold looking dove, which then flew around her a bit.

“Please go into that building, find the three Vees, and tell me what you have seen.” she said and the little creature flew higher, into the building through one of the windows.

Now that she had a moment to breath, she thought long and hard on what should she do about Alastor

How could he help him

They did the basics of no more killing, torture and no cannibalism, but over that, she was more at a loss than ever.

But her thoughts have been disturbed by a noise that came from the tower

She hid and heightened up her senses to hear what the two figures have been discussing.

The two sinners were a woman, who was dressed in a nice dress, and a man, who seemed to have been overdressed, both of them were also smoking.

“Valentine has made me buy lube for him, four time, just today” said the man with an annoyed hand gesture while the woman just shook her head.

“I think the company is getting way more weird” she said as she inhaled her cigarette. “I mean, our salaries haven't gotten higher, but our tasks are just way more hornier than ever” she said

“Tell me about it, I thought the constant sexual abuse that Vox was doing against the radio demon was bad, but what the actors have now is way worse” he said as he laid on the side of the building with a sigh

“I even heard Angela quit” she said as she finished her cigarette

To this the man looked up at her

“But she is the second best after Angel Dust” he said with surprise

“Yeah, I know, but I think after the third rape, she just gave up” she said with visible sadness

“Now it happens with all of us”he said in a solemn tone as he finished his smoke as well. After that both of them sighed and went back into the building

Emily was feeling sick to her stomach

These poor souls are being raped?

As she was still processing it, her dove came back, landing on her shoulder. She petted it's little head a bit, before taking off, back to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, she went through the kitchen window again, and saw how Alastor was just about finished with dinner.

The smell was amazing, nothing she had ever smelled before, with spices and aromas.

“I`m back” she said, as he turned to her

“Just on time, dinner is ready.” he said as he was putting out the food into plates.
He got a chair for her, and as she sat down and saw the food, with all it's rice, shrimp, and vegetables, she couldn't wait any longer and dug in.

It was the best food she ever had.

Better than sugar even!

She ate eagerly while Alastor was sitting next to her, quietly laughing at her.

“So tell me, what did you discover” he asked after she destroyed her meal

“I have my dove here” she said as she pointed at her golden creation on the table.

The Radio demon looked at it quizzically, and an answer was on his tongue, as the bird begun to speak

“In Vox tech, the security was low. Velvette`s office did not have anything worth noting, neither Valentino`s office. Vox had his body back, but seemed to have been demoted, and put away into a small office. He had pictures of his last attack attempt, as well as blurry photos of Alastor the Radio Demon, which were framed. Report finished” said the bird, and went back to behaving like one

“This didn't give me anything new” he said snarky

“I also overheard something from two workers” she said with a lower energy in her voice as she remembered “I heard that many of them are raped there”

“I knew about that too from my capture” he said, as he begun to put away their plates. “It seems that hasn't changed” he said with little emotion in his voice

“You were also...?” she asked while she got up from the chair

“I`d rather not spoil both of our moods with that fucking TV head” he said, as he begun to wash the dishes.

She felt tears gathering in her eyes.

“I'm sorry. I wish I'd have known. I wish I'd have saved you” she said as she felt the tears falling down on her eyes

He sighed as he turned to her

“You couldn't have, I was in a deal with him. No one can interfere in deals, unless you kill one of the participants. And that fucker just tried with me, but he wasn't successful” he said finally, and for some reason it made her feel a tiny bit better

“That is good at least” she said as she wiped away her tears “Do you think we can help the workers there?” she asked

He just turned back to the sink

“Likely they are in deals themselves for their souls, so unless you kill all three of the Vees, you can't.”

“But it is so horrible. You have my soul, yet you don't treat me like that” she said as she put her hand onto her heart

“Every overlord is different. I may ask you tomorrow to kill someone” he said, and she could hear the same fake emotion from his laugh

“That would not be good for your redemption” she said under her breath

“All of it for redemption” he said with irony in his voice

They finished up in the kitchen, and headed to the lobby, Emily wanted to go to the library to research Psychology, while Alastor wanted to get some rum before his broadcast.

As they arrived there, they noticed that Charlie was in a heated discussion with Lucifer

“Dad, I can't believe you are still talking with him” she said while she leaned ahead with her arm gesticulating in the air
“Come on I liked the guy, he was the only one who went to a musical with me” he said as Charlie was just getting more worked up about it, and Vaggie next to her had her arms folded, and looked as pissed as anytime someone touched Charlie`s hand

Emily wondered what was going on while Alastor had just his unreadable smile

“But dad, it's just weird. Talking with him as friends” she said to which Lucifer looked somewhat uncomfortable

“Well, you are not gonna like then the news” he said to which Charlie`s eyes widened

“What did you do?”

“I invited him over” he said and his daughter shrieked down to the floor, while she whined

Emily couldn't retain her curiosity anymore

“Hey, sorry, who is coming over?” she asked

“Just an unwelcome nuisance” growled Vaggie

“Ha?”

“Let me explain” said Lucifer, while turning to her “Charlie`s ex lover is coming over, Seviathan” he said and the aforementioned daughter gave out another pained whine from the floor.

Chapter Text

The weeks were passing rapidly. For Emily the days seemed to have been blurred together at one point. After her work at the hotel, she needed to send her dove to spy on all of the Overlords, but it rarely came back with anything useful, which did not make Alastor too happy. During the same time she was also always raiding the library's psychology section, but it was still a difficult topic for her to fully grasp. She suspected that his psychological problems were stemming from his childhood, but finding useful information on that also proved hard. She so desperately wanted to talk with a professional about it, but there was no one who could help her. She really just wanted to help him, but with every attempt so far, it seemed to have gone worse. He had his walls build up for such a long time, that a bulldozer was needed to make an opening for her.

 

His situation was just giving her a headache all around. At some point she asked him about his father still being in the pocket dimension, to which he just told her that he was under a dreamless sleep, until he'd take him out of there. She did not like it, but at the same time, she heard stories about his father's life in hell, and how he was making other sinner's life difficult, so she guessed this arrangement was good for the time, until she'd deal with Alastor.

 

The radio demon who was troubling her in other ways too.

 

His human form was also a regular visitor at nights before she went to sleep, where she'd get herself off on thinking of him. It was getting to a point where she was contemplating talking with someone about it, but at the same time felt too ashamed to admit it.

 

At the hotel there was unrest as well, as Lucifer was preparing for the visit of Charlie`s ex, while the aforementioned girl was doing everything in her power to prevent it. Vaggie was irritable because of it, and the rest of the people were just excited to meet him. Cherry Bomb told Emily at one point that she heard he was sexy, but Emily did not know what it meant in hell for someone to be sexy, but she guessed the person probably looked more humanesque.

 

She gathered up her book when the time came for the Therapy and headed to the Radio Demon's room.

 

After knocking he opened the door without words and led her in. She went to her normal place on the couch and opened up the books she brought.

He sat next to her, with drink in hand, and a bored expression

 

“So, what pointless idea are we doing today?” he asked in a sarcastic manner.

 

If she wanted to be honest with herself, his attitude was annoying her at this point, but she just let it slide.

 

“I thought today we can try trust exercises” she said to which he just visibly became more annoyed and puffed out

 

“No”

 

“But...” she started and sighed as well “Okay, then we'll go straight into my questions again” she said while he sipped his drink “Why are you happy with killing and torturing people?” she asked

 

He leaned back on the couch, and just said

 

“It's great fun” he grinned

 

She sighed and leaned back as well. This was how everyday went on their therapy in the past two weeks. She'd ask him something, he'd give an answer that did not help, rinse and repeat. She was thinking that ,without figuring out the core reason why he enjoyed those deplorable actions, she wouldn't have a clue on how to redeem him, so then they remained in this circle.

 

Then an idea came to her mind

 

“Alastor!” she hopped up from the couch, and he looked up at her in question “Let's do something fun” she said with enthusiasm

 

“Fun?” he asked with the most irony she heard drip from his tone

 

“YES!” she flew up in her excitement

 

He did not say anything until she calmed down and stood in front of him again

“Sorry, in heaven it's my duty to bring joy to the winners, so this finally feels like something I'd be good at” she grinned. But he just raised an eyebrow at her “Okay okay” she calmed down “I think you need to trust me in order for you to led down your walls” she said but he just watched her with an unreadable expression “And what better way to do that then spend a day with me, and build trust and friendship” she explained

 

“And you wish to spend a day and bond?” he leaned ahead with a closed mouth smile

 

“YES! And I already know where can we go!” she squirmed “Lu Lu World!”

 

“Please, you can't be serious” he said with a grumble

 

“Lucifer told me it is a very fun place, come on let's go tomorrow!” she clapped her hands together in anticipation, but when he still remained as sour as a lemon about it, she said “This will help with your redemption”

 

“Fine” he said with annoyance and a little anger in his voice, but she was just too excited to go

 

The next day, she woke up bright and early to get read for their day

 

They were supposed to meet in the lobby, so she went down to wait for him.

 

“Hey Emily, you are up early” said Charlie from the big couch, where she was still sipping her morning coffee. Vaggie was also coming over with her coffee and with Cherry Bomb and Niffty.

 

“Hey, yes, we are going with Alastor to Lu Lu World” she explained to which the King of Hell appeared out of flames next to her

 

“Excuse me, but the park has a strict, no bellhop rule” he said

 

“Babe, do you remember when we went there?” asked Vaggie as she set next to Charlie to which the blonde hummed

 

“Yeah, it was so nice” she said as she cuddled up to her girlfriend

To this Emily's ears perched up

 

“You guys have been there?” she asked

 

“Yeah, just when we begun dating” said Charlie

 

“Awww, I wanna go too” said Cherry to which the couple just giggled

 

“What is a Lu Lu World?” asked Niffty

 

“Ohh just a theme park that dad started.” she said “Hey, why don't we go all together?” she asked and the seraph squirmed

 

“Yes!! It'll be so much fun” she said as she saw a shadow move behind her, and the radio demon materialized next to her with a grumpy expression. “Hey, did you hear, everyone is coming!” she squealed until she heard some pained radio noise

 

“Of course, isn't that wondrous?” he said in a showmanship voice, while gesticulating with his staff

 

“Wait, who'd take care of the hotel?” asked Vaggie the question that brought them all back to reality. Charlie slummed down once before she spoke up with a determined look

 

“I think me and Vaggie can handle it, all of you have a nice day today” she said and her girlfriend just nodded with a smile

 

“Are you sure?” asked Cherry

 

“Yeah, we have been there before, we'll go another time” said the blonde “Ohh Husk, you can also go if you want”

 

The cat demon just grumbled as he walked by the lobby couch with a strange smelling coffee

 

“I don't need to go, a day off from you would be nice” he said

 

“Understood Husker, would you fancy some souvenir?” asked Alastor with a creepy smile, to which the cat demon just gave him a middle finger and went off.

 

“Hey red guy, I did not agree for you to go to my park!” said Lucifer to Alastor in an annoyed tone, but before the radio demon was able to reply, Charlie interjected

 

“Come on dad, Emily wants to go, and if Alastor doesn't go then no one would be strong enough to protect her”

 

Lucifer had already raised his hand to say something but then deflated, which gave Alastor a bigger grin

 

“Yeah, just leave the group to me for this excursion, Lu” he said and the king of hell was just about to attempt to punch him, before Emily flew between them.

 

“Hey, so thank you Charlie and Vaggie for staying, then let's just go!” she said and started dragging Alastor from the arm “Ohh” she stopped “How long do you guys need to get ready?” she turned back to the group, but still held onto his arm, which he did not say much about.

 

After 30mins all of them were ready in the lobby, and Lucifer opened them a portal to step through. Emily was so excited to finally go, Lu Lu World, was famous even in heaven, and she wanted to do all the attractions available.

 

As she stepped through, the first thing she saw was a fairy tale like Castle in the middle of a square. She started to squirm in excitement and almost flew up in the air already, but then she felt her legs being held by something. She immediately looked down to see two shadow hands doing that, and almost let out a yelp before Alastor appeared.

 

“You should consider not flying, and actually putting away those wings of yours” he said as the hold was let loose on her ankles.

 

“Oh” she realized that this still was hell, and she shouldn't draw too much attention to herself, so she did as he said, while the rest of the group came through the portal as well.

The weather was nice for hell, as in the sky was clear, and only slightly red, while the sinners were beaming at the different stalls and attractions. Cherry bomb immediately started dragging her to take photos with the mascot, the giant apple,while Niffty and Baxter( who joined last minute due to the maids insistence) went off for the biggest roller coaster.

 

Alastor just remained in her and Cherry`s company, as they were walking through the park mesmerized.

 

“Oh my gosh, look at the fucked up shit” pointed Cherry at the prize plushies at one of the stalls, and Emily begun laughing so hard, she almost spit out her fuzzy drink, while Alastor just had a semi annoyed expression.

The plusshies of Alastor, as he was being killed by a sword in his chest, with x as his eyes.

 

“You really are not Lucifer`s favorite” said Emily as she looked up at him with a smile, to which more annoyed Radio noise arose.

 

“You fuckers should just fuck already” said Cherry, and for a moment Emily thought she was referring to them, which made her blush

 

“Enticing offer, but I'd rather not touch that corny king of ours” he said and for some reason that made her feel better.

 

She of course had no idea what Alastor was into, but people often talked about their theories of his deal, so she felt that she had started to understand him a little more.

 

It of course had nothing to do with her weird situation with him.

 

Cherry just hummed and pulled Emily further into the park. During the day, she noticed Alastor sometimes vanishing and reappearing moments later, with a satisfied grin, and she could not shake the feeling that he was doing something nefarious, so she decided to take him on the next ride with her, while Cherry was gone in the arcade, trying to win the rare, Lucifer and Lilith, real life figures

 

“Hey, please come on this ride with me” she said as she pointed towards the giant Lucifer Head, where you'd enter in it's open mouth.

 

“Unless it is a horror attraction, I'd rather not” he said

 

“I'll go with you on the horror attraction, if you come with me for this”

 

“You'll need to offer something better than that” he said smugly

 

“What if there will be no therapy until Monday” she said which gathered his attention

 

“It's a deal” he said with a stretched out hand

 

“It'll just be an agreement” she said waving his hand away

 

“Very well” he said as they begun to walk towards the ride.

 

While they were waiting in the line, she popped the question.

 

“What were you doing just before?” she asked, which just widened his smile and put a quite charm around them.

 

“Ohh nothing serious, just making some deals” he said and the color left her face while she heard it

 

“What? But that's against your redemption” her voice was almost desperate.

 

“I don't recall a rule about it” he said and she was about to lose it

 

“Do I have to spell out everything?” she asked while her hands went through her hair.

 

“Since you are my coach, I'd assume so”

 

“But, I can't think of everything, I thought there would be obvious things” she raised her voice

 

“Oh really? Well I'm no professional, but I'd think dragging your patient through a stupid park, would also obviously be the wrong move” he said

Emily felt truly lost at that point and went out of the line where he followed her.

 

After she recomposed herself she realized that he was right, she dragged him into this park, because she wanted to, and because she wanted to go with him, but it wasn't something that he enjoyed. She was being selfish.

 

She looked up at him apologetically

 

“I'm sorry” she said as she took hold of his hand “This park was entertaining for me, but I did not think of you” she sighed “We can go and do something you'd like instead”

 

“Very generous of you, I guess we can do that after this ride” he said, as he motioned for the line “I believe it's a horror ride” he put them back into the line, and she felt happy that her apology was accepted

 

“Wait, it's a horror one? I did not realize” she said as she looked around, seeing all the dark themes. They moved slowly in the line, but she had an inkling suspicion that something was up with it, it did not look like a normal horror ride, which was amplified with the two person carriage shaped floating seats they had to go into.

 

As the ride started and they begun floating down the dark path, she held her breath back, in anticipation, while he was seemingly getting excited for the jump scare, with a widening smile.

 

She almost did not notice the song that slowly got more and more loud the deeper they went.

 

“What the...” he begun to say as the first worlds of the song emerged

 

Ohh ah

 

Ohh ah

 

After the first worlds, the lights lit up, and they were faced with an abundance of pink hearts everywhere, as well as merchandise of Lucifer and Lilith kissing inside some hearts

Alastor smile almost melted in utter disgust as the song continued, now both of them recognizing that it was indeed Lucifer who sang it

 

Ohhh aahhh

You know you love me

I know you care

Just shout whenever

And I'll be there

You are my love,

You are my heart

And we will never ever ever be apart

Are we an item

Lilith quit playin

We're just friends

What are you sayin

Said theres another and looked right my eyes

My first love broke my heart the first time

And I was like

baby baby baby ooooh

Like baby baby baby nooo

 

Lilith baby baby baby oooohh

 

The song went on, with Lucifer including his wife's name in every possible place he could, while Emily was getting more and more embarrassed.

 

“I'm sorry, I had no idea it's this kind of ride” she said turning to him

 

“Nobody could have predicted this” he said sourly, while they went through even more hearts and kiss decoration, Lucifer's song in their ear the whole time

 

During the rap session, the song went into even more embarrassing lines

 

When I was 1300, I had my first lovemaking

There was nobody that compared to that tightness

nobody came between us or could ever come above

She had me goin crazy all night long

oh I was star struck, she sucked me up daily

no need no firstman

She made my heart pound,

and skip a beat when I see her naked

I really wanna see her on her knees in my bed

She knows she got me dazing, cause she was so amazin

And now my heart is pounding

 

“I'm sorry” she apologized again to which he just waved.

 

“I'll deal with him myself, subjecting anyone to this is torture” he said with darkened eyes which made her curious

 

“So you have never..?”

 

“No, heavens no” he said with a glee

 

“Really? I was like that too. I didn't understand romance songs or anything” she said not noticing his attentive eyes on her

 

“Was?” he asked right of her slip up.

 

“Ohh yeah, was” she scratched her head “For a long time”

 

“And then?” he asked again and she felt her face heating up

 

“Then whatt?? I don't remember saying more, do you?” she said while she started to stare ahead, hiding her face with her hair “Hey, I think it's ending” she pointed at the arrival rails, successfully pulling his attention away from the topic

 

He did not say anything anymore, until they got off the ride.

 

She made two golden doves quickly and sent them to tell their friends that they would go elsewhere, and as they started to walk out of the park she noticed a little stand that she missed

 

“Ohh Ice cream” she beamed “Hey can we get some?” she asked and pointed at the stand

 

“A wonderful idea my dear” he smiled and she was happy that they finally agreed on something

 

Or at least she was until she noticed the flavors

 

Spinach, garlic, Human flavor?

 

Of course the radio demon went for the human one, and she was about to say something before he raised his index finger in front of her

 

“Before any confusion, this is human flavor, does not actually have any human flesh in it” he said with a grin while he licked it

 

She just sighed

 

“Okay” she said as she looked through the options again, and deciding on the beetroot one, as that seemed the least vile of them all, while she eyed suspiciously his ice cream.

 

Later as they left the park, she still looked back and the red sunset setting on the giant castle, and thought that no matter of everything, her day was filled with fun, and she hoped that at least some of it was true to him too

 

They arrived to where he wanted to go just as the sun fully set.

 

It was a jazz club and she beamed with interest.

 

“Oh, this is lovely” she said as she looked around, with musicians playing slowly, while people were either dancing or musing on a drink and talking with their companions. Everybody looked stunning with cocktail dresses or suits, and suddenly she felt self conscious of her puffy dress

 

Alastor was turned away, leaving his jacket at the front, and in that time she transformed her dress into a more appropriate one for the occasion.

Her dress went from big and puffy to sleek and sparkly, with an open back and a plunging neckline, while her hair went into a bun, with curly locks framing her face

 

Usually she never felt comfortable enough to wear something like this, but she thought that she'd stick out more if she remained in her usual dress.

When he turned she saw a surprise in his eyes for a millisecond, before it went back to normal

 

“I see you want to look the part” he said and she started to feel his stare on her

 

It made her feel all kinds of emotions

 

“Yeah” she scratched her head awkwardly “Ohhmm do you want to dance?” she asked, not knowing what they should be doing

 

“I see ladies are leading tonight” he said as he took her hand, she turned to the dance floor, partially to hide her blushed up face, because she was just thinking way to much about how his hand was warm

 

But he did not start walking with her, in fact his mood seemed to have soured as she looked back at him. His eyes having a rare emotion in them, that she could not name.

 

“Is everything okay?” she asked unsure, which seemed to have brought him back to his previous glee

 

“Why wouldn't it be?” he asked as he led them both to the dance floor.

 

She didn't know how to dance, but luckily for the time being the couples were only dancing slowly at the rithm of the music, and she felt confident enough to do that.

 

As his hand went to her waist, she suddenly became very aware how close they were to each other, and since they were facing one another, she couldn't even hide her face, her hands went up awkwardly around his neck

 

“Let me ask you something” he said, to which she held her breath back “Is that scar on your back because of me?” he asked and for a moment she did not know what he was talking about

 

Then she realized

 

“Ohh yeah, after the last battle, my wing needed to be amputated, in order to install the prosthetic one” she mused

 

“Amputated? Do they have to do that in heaven?” he asked, and she felt the familiar charm of silence around them

 

“Usually not, but then usually angels aren't supposed to get hurt”

 

“So why did you do that?” he asked in an accusatory tone

 

She did not know what he meant

 

“Are you asking why did I save you?” she felt his hands dig into her waist

 

“Precisely”

 

“I just wanted to save anyone I could” she said, but his smile became even more sinister

 

“So you expect nothing in return?” he asked darkly

 

It was on the tip of her tongue to say “no” but something had stopped her.

She thought it over one more time before she opened her mouth again

 

“I have a confession” she said as she looked deeply into his red burning eyes, his eyebrows raised “I wanted our deal because I did not want to believe I gave my wings away for someone who could not be redeemed” she said the thoughts out loud that have been polluting her mind for months.

 

She looked down in shame

 

“I'm not as altruistic as people think. My role should be the bring joy to the sinners, but I'm selfish.” she said the final words out load, while starring at the ground.

 

She did not know what kind of reply she expected, but laughter was not one of them

 

She starred up in confusion

 

“Ohh little dove” he said with a big smile “here in hell, that's nothing, caring about your own well being” he said and she felt a pressure being lifted from her heart.

 

Was it this easy?

 

In Heaven everything seemed to be more complicated then that.

 

Sure, Sera cared about her well being, but her role in it's self would be to put everyone else`s needs ahead of hers.

 

She did not know what to think of anything, so just looked at him for anything else he might say

 

“Since you have been honest with me though, I'll tell you something as well” he said and she felt his gaze deepen “I don't think I can be redeemed” he said with a knowing smile “I'm too broken for it” he said and her breath hitched

 

“But you are trying your best” she said desperately

 

“And I think my best wont be enough” he said with the same smile, but his eyes were conveying a different, more melancholic emotion.

 

“I think you can.” she said determinedly “You have only treated me nicely”

 

“That is because I'm bound by the contract”

 

“No, you have been nice to me, outside of it too” she said, while she leaned more into his face

 

“Maybe I just want to give you a false sense of security”

 

“No” she said sternly “Even if you can't be redeemed, and we'll be here forever, and I'll always belong to you, you'll not make me do anything the other overlords do. I know it”

His face twisted into something sinister, as with his right hand still on her waist, he pulled the chain around her neck.

 

“What if I decide to tear your soul apart?” he asked in a low voice, a part of her got scared in that moment

 

“I trust you” she said finally

 

“Why? I do would be very much entertained with seeing an angel soiled” he said with a grin

 

“I'm already not the perfect angel I should be” she said as she continued to look into his eyes “I'm just Emily, and you know me, and you wont hurt me” her face was heating up with all the intense emotions she had been feeling.

 

He did not say anything anymore, as they continued to dance slowly.

 

When she calmed down she heard him again

 

“I always strive for more power” he said as she looked up and their eyes met “So having you is important” he squeezed her waist “Going to heaven would be giving up that power”

 

“It wouldn't be” she said as she went on her tiptoes to stare closer into his eyes “In heaven I'd help you with anything, you would wish for nothing, because you'd have everything”

 

“Does everybody get this special treatment?” he asked smugly

 

“Ohhmm, I just think you'd need more accumulating to heaven, so I'd be your personal angel for that” she sputtered while she looked around the room trying to avoid his intense stare

 

“Do you know how my appearance would change in heaven?” he asked with an amused tone

 

“I'm not sure, Ser Pentious still remained a snake, but a more heavenly one if that makes sense” she mused and he just laughed

 

“I was just specifically wondering if I'd look like my humanly self” he said as he studied her face

 

She did not even think of that

 

Ohh noo, if he did look like his human self, than who knows what she'd do

 

She'd never live it off

 

As she was quietly panicking he just laughed again

 

“Come now, I didn't look that bad as a human to result to a face like that” he said mockingly

 

She did not even know what to say. It looked like he was playing with her, but also seeing through her fully.

 

Holy Shit!

 

What if he knew what she had been doing almost every night?

 

Before the panic could have taken her over fully, she tried to think of a way out.

 

“I think you'll just remain as you are, with white clothes” she said finally

 

“Ohh what a pity, wouldn't you think?” he asked with a smug smile

 

“I only saw your human form a little bit, I wouldn't know” she said while she pointedly looked away

 

“Sure” he replied ironically

Chapter Text

After the dance they sat at the booth, sipped on a drink and enjoyed the atmospheric jazz that surrounded them. They saw other sinners there dancing, and some even waved at her, she waved back, and thought of the time she did save them from Vox`s laser.
She had some nightmares about that night after that, but back then she had no idea what she was up for. Her damaged wing, of which only the golden bones remained, needed to be amputated, and even though the angel doing it was fast, she still felt every inch of the excruciating pain. Her feathers were still standing up just from the memory of it. She was screaming the whole night, and at some point Sera gave her a gag, so as to not accidentally bite off her tongue.

Heaven was heaven for the winners.

For angels it was different, and that was the first time she had to come face to face with it.

God was unreachable, like always, even though she was praying with every bit of her might.

She had passed out sometime in the early hours, and when she awoke she was so out of it, that she confused Ser Pentious with Sera next to her bed.

Back then she was grateful, that at least she could get a prosthetic wing, and live on normally.

It was the time when she recovered and visited Sera that she had to face again the reality of heaven for an angel like her.

Sera told her, with tears in her eyes, that Lucifer could have helped her, that the fallen angel had god given power for healing, yet he was not allowed to be called for, because for the council it was more important to keep him out of heaven, than to aid in her operation.

Her sister fought for it, yet at the end of the day, she was tied with the decision.

Emily forgave Sera

Really, how could she not?

Yet Heaven seemed like a place she wanted to run from.
She truly wanted the sinners to make it to heaven, and enjoy the rest of their eternal life there, but if she was honest with herself, she wanted to stay and help at the hotel instead of going back.

Of course if they'll have her

“May I inquirer about your musings?” came the radio induced voice next to her, and it pulled her out from her thoughts.

“Ohh sorry. I was just thinking about heaven” she said with a head scratch

“Please do indulge me, how is heaven like?” he asked with a grin after taking a sip.

She was not sure how to answer so she opted to play with the straw in her mochtail awkwardly.

“What do you want to know?” she asked, not looking at him

“Hm...Firstly how does god look like?” he asked and she almost spit her drink out. Damn, he wasn't playing around

“I don't know how he looks. We have the speaker of god, who relays his messages, but at this point, heaven functions automatically” she said in a monotone voice

“So how do you know he exists?`” he leaned into her space, almost forcing her to look him in the eyes.

“Someone had to create all of this” she signaled with her hand the space around them

“I suppose” he leaned back into the couch “When I was still alive, I've pondered a lot on whether this god of ours is real, and not merely a fragment of our imagination, but nevertheless hell and heaven do exist, although hell is not fully what I anticipated it to be.”

“How so?” she turned to him with curiosity in her eyes.

“On Earth, the hell I expected was more filled with sinners burning at the stakes” he said with such calmness, she thought she misheard him

“What? No, even hell shouldn't be like that!” she said defiantly to which he only hummed.

“And how should heaven be? After all, if your goal for me is to end up in there, I should know it” he said mockingly, but once again, she did not know what to say to it at first

“Heaven is a place of chill and fun for the winners” she said, trying to turn away from him

“And what is it for you?” he asked, while he tilted his head to look at her better

“It's the place I've been born, and where my sister is”

“And besides that?” he asked but she just wanted him to stop

She closed her eyes in an attempt to calm herself down

“Very well.” he said “Another drink?”

She shook her head

“I find you more and more curious little dove” he said musingly

“Why?” she turned back to him to look him in the eyes

“You oft give off the impression that you don't particularly like heaven”

“It's different for an angel and a winner, you'd like it”

“But I quite like it here” he said after he finished his drink

“How can you like it? It's hell” she looked at him with even more confusion

“You also like it” he said pointedly, her voice hitched “As for myself, I enjoy having power and control” he begun to gather his jacket, but she did not want to leave yet

“But you'd be happy there” she said after he got up as a last attempt at convincing him

“Why does my happiness matter so much to you” he looked down at her and she suddenly felt very grateful that she was still sitting

“I'm the bringer of joy” she said defiantly. He just hummed at that but offered his hand for her to take and get up

As they walked back to the hotel, no more words were exchanged, but she still felt a sense of unease in the air.

Did she do something wrong?

Alastor

He was doing his early broadcast with the hit music from the 1924`s.

He was not in the mood to sleep the night before, and since his stupid redemption plan required him to not kill or torture again, he found himself rereading one of his favorite Shakespeare dramas, Romeo and Juliet. Although some belles during his life thought, that would mean he was romantic, in actuality he enjoyed the story for the sheer amusing tragedy of it. How utterly pathetic it would be for two people to die for nothing, due to a misunderstanding. He always laughed at it.

He also imagined Romeo ending up in Hell while Juliet in Heaven, so they'd be forever separated. Ohh if only she'd have dirtied her hands a little bit

She reminded him of the little dove

But yesterday she was off. He noticed how she tried to hide her distaste for heaven rather badly. He could guess it had something to do with her wing, or even more than that.

Why was he worked up over it, he was not quite sure. Although he would have lied to himself, if he'd not notice her growing infatuation with him.

That was no surprise to him, he could charm anyone if he'd put his mind to it.

Fine

Maybe not Vagatha

But surely anyone else he would be able to

The thing was, he enjoyed the control that it gave him, playing with other's expectations, and wishes. It was almost as entertaining as ripping someone's fingers off

Especially now that he was not allowed to indulge in any other depravity.

If she were to confess though, he'd have to turn her down. Maybe he'd be a tad bit less cruel than he was to dear old Vincent, after all, she was not half as infuriating as him.

Ohh her little face would be torn up in agony, how he'd like to see it

With these happy thought he headed to the lobby, as at 8am sharp, they were all expected to welcome their new visitor, that pompous rich guy who was Charlotte's ex.

He was there exactly on time, and saw how the little dove hurry down with her wings flapping.

“Hey, good morning” she said as she stopped next to him with a shy smile, which he returned

“Good morning my dear, a fine morning is it” he said in his most showmanship voice possible and of course she giggled at it.

Ohh he was enjoying it.

“Okay guys, thank you so much everyone, lets just survive this visit” said Charlie in an almost pained expression, while Vaggi had her hand on her shoulder the whole time

“Chill babe, nothing's gonna happen” said the fallen angel, but before Charlie could answer with already teary eyes, the other fallen angel resident flew by

“Heyo Charlie and her girlfriend” said Lucifer while he took his hat off, but then stopped “Ohmm, don't be hostile please” he said to Vaggi, to which the angel seemingly became even more pissed

The Radio demon could tell that some drama was about to happen, and he was sure to enjoy the suffering most definitely.

As Vagatha was just about to curse at her future father in law the door swept open and a green light was blinding the whole hotel staff

“He's doing it again” said Charlie as she looked to be just about scratching her face off

Then some terribly overused eldritch monster song came in followed by some green flames

Alastor was almost bored at the entire show. It was clear this fella just wanted to intimidate them, hm, he glanced over, at least no one from the staff was buying it.

Husker was at the bar, annoyed as ever. It took him such a long time to behave again, after finding out that the little angel sold her soul to him. He had to order him not to intervene, otherwise who knows what may have happened if he'd run his mouth.

Cherry was on the couch, disgustingly blowing gum, and playing with her bombs, while dear Niffty was at the bar with her new boyfriend, Baxter, playing with the new bugs he was making for her. The little scientist came by him recently, asking for Niffty`s soul, the dear soul even offered his one in exchange, but the radio demon only gave him one task. Marry the little demon, and he'll free her, but of course he knew that the little bug demon would never marry again, after all, her death was the cause of it. It was good enough entertainment for him at least, seeing him suffer.

His gaze finally landed on his little angel.

She looked not scared per say, but frazzled at the song and green flames. He noticed that she was standing closer to him than just a minute before. She could not even deny to fancy him, and that was certainly amusing, how she was sometimes blushing, and how she looked at him sometimes, with no lies in her eyes.

Even sweet old Charlie had to learn how to be less naive in hell, yet this angel was pure, untainted, he almost wanted to see her do something bad.

As he was pondering on this a figure emerged from the flames, and everybody came face to face with a tall, grinning, green handsome man.

Ohh so this was Seviathan

“Good morning dear papa and Charlie” said the man with a smooth voice. Alastor knew just from that that he's gonna cause trouble

“I told you not to call my dad papa” snarked Charlie at him, and Vaggie was almost growling like a dog behind her. The man raised only his hand up, while Lucifer came up next to him

“I told him it's okay” said the king of hell, to which he shook his hand “Good to see you, how have you been?”

“I'm great, have been traveling around the pentagram” said Seviathan as he moved on to his ex.

“Hi Charlie, how have you been?” his voice was kind and gentle

“I'm fine, why did you have to come here?” asked Charlie rudely

“Come one, don't you want to remember the good times sometimes?” he asked in a way to get under her skin.

Alastor knew what he was playing at.

“No, I'm very happy with my girlfriend” said the blonde defiantly

“Yeah, did you hear they are going to Lulu World today?” Lucifer went closer to them while he talked

“Is that so?” the green suited man said “Well, I do remember our great time there too” he said as he looked away, and a creeping horror was starting to build up on Charlie`s face. She was mouthing the words `don't you dare` to him, but the man just continued “I remember you gave me head on the farriers wheel” he said with a giant grin as the blonde was too stunned to speak

“Wait, what???” came the agitated screech from Vaggi

“Ohh dammn girl, what nasty stuff are you doing publicly?” asked Cherry with a shit eating grin.

“When we started dating with your mother, it was much worse, I think all hell saw my ass as I wa-”

“I don't want to hear it!” screamed Charlie at her dad before running away, and naturally her girlfriend was shortly behind her, after she gave some death glares to Seviathan.

“Anyway, do you want to meet the rest?” asked Lucifer while he pointed at the staff, the other man just nodded

“So this is Emily, she is here to represent heaven” said the king of hell as he pointed at her

Seviathan just looked at her with a knowing smile, and then he dared to lift up her hand and hint a kiss on top off it like a prick

“Enchanté” he said with bedroom eyes

Now Alastor would not care about such blatant attempt at flirting, but what annoyed him was that the little dove actually blushed at it

Blushed at it!

She quickly snapped her hand away while she worriedly looked between the two grinning men around her

“Do you even know French?” asked the radio demon with a snarky tone

“No, devil no” the prick shook his head “Any other language besides English is useless” he declared with such a wave of arrogance Alastor wanted obliterate his soul

He wanted to reply but Emily cut in before

“I think every language is beautiful and needs to be kept alive” she said defiantly and the sentiment almost made him smile genuinely

“Precisely my dear, and French is one of the most precious languages that us humans came up with, it would be a shame if we only took the words from it, and used it without knowing more of it, like a damn idiot” he said while he starred into the other man's dark green eyes, ready to fight him

“And you are...?” he asked Alastor with a disinterested tone

“Alastor, pleasure to be meeting you, quite a pleasure, you might have heard of me from my radio broadcast” he said with feigned politeness

“Is that why you talk in this creepy trans Atlantic accent?” he asked, pointing with his hand on him

“Trans Atlantic? What is that?” asked Emily

“Ohh, just the accent I'm talking in, which used to be the rule for radio broadcasts” he replied

“Multiple people used to talk like this? It's soo cool!” she said while squeaking

“It's more like creepy, all of you talked like robots back then” said Seviathan with more annoyance in his velvety voice
“You took the words right out of my mouth, it's creepy” said Lucifer which made Alastor even more aware on why the hell these two were getting along, both of them had such terrible tastes

“And Radio is such an odd, and shit way to listen to something, I much prefer the theater” he said in a posh accent and Alastor just felt the urge to tear his soul apart

“Well not everyone is a pampered rich boy with a silver spoon in his mouth” he snarked back which made the other man grin

“No, some of us have been born different”

“Okay, enough! You don't get to walk in and talk to people like that” said Emily as she stood in front of him to shield him

Ha

Did she think he needed protection?

But he had to admit, it was satisfying to see that prick's grin melt off in an instant

“You are right, I overstepped, may I invite you to dinner to make up for it?” he asked, taking hold of her hand again and hinting another chaste kiss on it

Well, this was not what he expected, but he was sure the little angel would know how to turn him down

“Sure, I'm willing to hear you out, tonight?”

What just happened?

“Sevi, you shouldn't take Emily out, just eat here at the hotel” said Lucifer

“Alright, is it also well for you, mademoiselle?” he asked her again, with those lidded eyes that was sure to melt off the clothes of any lady

“Yes” she replied
“Well excuse me” said Alastor as he went into the shadows

In his room, he was drowning scotch after scotch

Ohh that man needed to be destroyed

The men he used to kill in his life, were just like this arrogant, idiotic and posh.

But how?

He was forbidden from killing, torturing or eating him, so he had to figure out a different way

But he was also angry at Emily

How could she not see through it? And did she already move on from her infatuation of him? Was she that easy in her feelings?

He'll order her to do something bad, he was sure of it

With those thoughts in mind he went out to find her, since their Therapy was canceled for the weekend

She was at the bar, talking with Husker about something

As he approached, he actually heard the reason for why both of them had such a concerned look on their faces

“So he then left us, because he wants to keep us safe” said Husk in a sad tone as he was cleaning a glass

“But can't we do something?” she asked, concerned

“Unless he is free somehow form the deal, I doubt it”

“Can't we talk with Valentino?” she asked desperately

“I wouldn't recommend you do that, he'll just get his anger out on Angel Dust” said Alastor as he sat down with them

“But please, isn't there something?” she asked turning to him, with pleading eyes

He could almost call it cute

“Unless you plan to kill that Moth, the deal needs to be broken or fulfilled” he said as he signaled to Husk for a drink

“You'd know that” commented the cat demon under his whisker to which Alastor just narrowed his eyes at him

“What does he mean?” she asked

“Nothing of importance my dear. What is more important is that I have an order for you” he said and he felt his dark shadowy power gather around them. He already looked around and outside of Husker, there was really no one in particular close by, as it was Sunday.

Her feathers messed up as she looked at him, with eyes he could not tell if they had fear or something else in them.

“I order you to find out what Seviatahan`s weakness is” he said as his voice went into more screech radio noises and with his hand he pulled the chain around her neck closer, she almost fell from her bar stool on him

“Why?” she mouthed out as she regained her balance

“Don't question the orders my dear, and as of you Husk” he said as he finished his drink and got up “Not a single word” he said as his head fully tilted to the side, and his eyes blackened with the audible threat in his voice

As he went into the shadows again, he found it amusing to grab her chains once again for another tiny tug

He could not tell why, but he enjoyed tugging at her chains, much more than any other soul he owned, maybe it had to do with the fact that she was an angel, and seeing an angel being controlled by him was great fun.

He went by with his day with no hiccups, although he had to admit to himself, that without being able to kill or torture the unfortunate souls around him, he was slowly getting bored

The only form of entertainment as of late was watching how Emily was trying and failing to find a way to redeem him. She was absolutely adorable how she kept asking him about anything, yet he would not divulge

Well...

He had to admit that the previous night in the jazz club he let her in a little, but only because if he'd give her no crumb of achievement then she'd give up on trying, and then where would be his fun?

But still, she did look fitting there yesterday with that little number she was wearing, figure hugging, with an open back and sparkly

Wait

Why the hell was he thinking about it again?

Never mind that

He reorganized his thoughts back to his entertainment

So naturally he went to see how dear old Charlie was fairing after they got back from that god damn park.

“Knock knock” he said as he entered the two ladies room, where Charlie was on top of the bed making annoyed sounds while Vaggi was sitting next to her in an attempt at comforting her

“Ugh, what do you want Alastor?” asked the blonde as she sat up

“I just came by to see how you are fairing after that utterly embarrassing morning” he said mockingly
“Ughh” moaned the blonde

“Look, if you're only here to laugh, you can leave” said Vaggi as she rubbed Charlie`s shoulder

“I would just like to know what happened between you two?” he asked, ignoring the fallen angel's angry look, after another pained groan from the blonde he continued “After all, that prick probably annoyed you tremendously and you broke up with him in good faith, right?” he looked in her direction, and saw how her body stiffened

“No” said Charlie “He broke up with me”

Interesting

“And why my dear?” he asked as he pretended to examine his cane

“Why are you suddenly so interested in relationship stuff?” snapped Vaggi at him and she tried to continue but Charlie sat up and put a hand on her girlfriends shoulder

“No, it's okay, he wants to learn more about relationships”

“Why would you think that, my dear?” he asked, his previously amused tone gone

“Never mind” said the blonde quickly, he intended to press but she continued “With Seviathan, I think we were just young” she said with a big smile.

He would have maybe believed it, if it weren't for the fact that, like the little angel, the princess of hell could not lie convincingly at all.

Nevertheless he left them and went back to his radio tower.

As dinner arrived he made his way to the canteen, not to eat that travesty they served there of course, but to chaperon Emily, as she was completing her order from him.

She was sitting there with Lucifer and that prick, and Alastor went to sit on the vacant seat next to her, with a cup of black coffee

“Good evening” he said as he sat down

“Who even invited you here?” asked Lucifer in an annoyed tone

“I'm sure the little angel would not mind it, right?” he put his hand on her shoulder as he leaned in to her back

She blushed golden by it, and started talking fast on how he's welcome of course, and how they should all just get along

He let go of her with a satisfied grin

“Anyway, where were we?” asked Seviathan from the little dove with a smirk “Ahh yes, you've asked about how could Charlie dump me, and then I begun to list my great achievements on why she did not.” he said and it actually made Alastor raise an eyebrow in question

“Yeah, I had no idea you actually organized a seven course meal date night for her.” said the blonde amusingly “I need to do something like that once my beloved wife is home”

“So why did she break up with you?” asked the angel

“I actually just talked with our Charlie, and he broke up with her” said the radio demon “But I do question why”

“Simple, she wanted to date other people” he said as a matter of fact before he pushed his dishes away “Anyway, I'm gonna go to the balcony”

As he was leaving, the angel took off after him.

Alastor wanted to grab her and stop her, but he realized that she was trying to complete his order, so he begrudgingly stayed

But he had no intention in conversing more with Lucifer, so he got up as well, and sent his shadow to the balcony to view the events through it

What he did not expect was Seviathan crying on the shoulder of Emily

He felt sick to his stomach and left immediately, because he knew if he'd have stayed for longer, he would have snapped

He had to blow off some steam and fast

So he did the only thing that was in his power, and utterly destroyed one of the unused hotel rooms.

He later returned to his room, where to his surprise Emily was waiting

“I got his weakness” she said but he was still too pissed, so without looking at her, he went and sat in his armchair and sighed

“Yes?”

“He broke up with Charlie, but it was because Charlie only dated him because of his family.” she took a deep breath “He is still hurt that Charlie was not with him for him” she said finally

It was good that she discovered his weakness

But why on earth did she have to go about it in such a low way?

“And did you have to sell yourself for it?” he asked mockingly

“What do you mean?” she got up and went to stand in front of him

“I saw you give a hug to that fucker” he spit the words at her

“So? I hug a lot of people” she said in an angrier tone “I'm the angel of joy in heaven, and I want to help sinners here too to work through their problems” she said with folded arms

“Yes, human souls, he isn't even one” he got up as well and starred down at her with boiling anger

“He's like Charlie, he still has a soul here, and you ordered me to get his weakness!”

“Well next time, just talking may suffice, now get out, I want to be alone” he said in a low voice

She angrily went in the direction of the door but stopped suddenly

“You are upset” she said “Would you like a hug?” she asked in a hopeful voice as she turned to him

A hug?

Was she serious?

“No, please get out” he said it in between his teeth

As she went away, he could tell the rejection made her sad, which also bothered him

He had to focus on something else

Yes, how to use that idiot's weakness against him?

In the morning he waltzed down the stairs towards the canteen, in a much better mood, but only when he was not thinking of Emily

Which was harder for him to do as she was in the lobby, waiting for him

Oh great

“Good morning Alastor, can we please talk?” she said and he just nodded at it

They went outside of the building

And she was doing the little face she was doing when she did not know how to start the conversation
The puffed up face as she was thinking it over and over and how she got annoyed with herself was positively cute

“So?” he inquired

“I just...” she started and cut off “I'm just...” she looked at him “I'm sorry, I think I did something wrong yesterday, I want to apologize”

“Ohh, what exactly you think you did that was wrong?” he asked, while he tilted his head

She took hold of his hand as she spoke further, the warmness of her fingers was a nice feeling, although it did tingle his skin

“I'm not sure, but...” she trailed off “I'm sorry, I'll do the order as you ask for next time” she said, squeezing his hand

“Yes, that would be a good idea” he said as a matter of fact “But I also feel the need to apologize, after all, I did not give you directions on your order and I snapped at you without reason” he said as he held her thumb

He did think it over the night, and he had to admit to himself that being upset about it was just irrational

She let out a surprised hitch

“So, we are okay?” she asked with her periwinkle hopeful gaze which was staring to get to him

“I suppose” he said with a smile

“Yaayy” she flew up as she let go of his hand

Seeing her smile was nice in a way

Why was he musing on that?

He could see her big smile even after breakfast, especially when their eyes met

Her smile was gone though as he was pretending to become friends with Seviathan

He could not tell why, but she actually started to seem angry.

But why though?

He was merely acting like a friend, for example even now he brought coffee for him and treated him well, but she had the annoyed expression only.

It was actually bothering him

So he sent her to spy on the Vees again, just as a way to get out from under her gaze

It was truly puzzling, he was in the mids of preparing gumbo, when she flew back through the kitchen.

Heh

It really was like last time, when he was cooking, although this time he was making dinner for more than just the two of them.

“Welcome back my dear, any news of our great enemies?” he asked as he turned to her with a big smile

She puffed out in annoyance and signaled for her golden dove to start speaking.

Okay, she was still annoyed at him

“No new update from the Vee tower, expect the filming of a new adult movie starring Angel Dust” chirped the bird

Hm

That was barely note worthy

It has been like that for almost a month
Were the Vees truly just doing their own thing and not being up on something nefarious?

It seemed too good to be true

He mused on this further as he absent mindedly cut up the sausages

“Are those pork sausages?” she asked from next to him

“No, human ones from cannibal town” he replied and found it amusing how her face torched into horror

“But you can't!”

“To my knowledge I'm only forbidden from eating it, there were no rules in cooking it for our dear visitor” he said as he cut up the last bit and tossed it into the left cauldron

The right one would have beef sausages so he and this little dove could eat as well

“Seviathan is a cannibal?” she asked with shock

“Yes, that was such a happy coincidence” he said with an amused grin

“Next therapy I'll forbid you from cooking human meat” she said angrily and with puffed up cheeks, went to the other counter and started taking out sugar from the upper shelf

Oh was she also cooking something?

Interesting

But then she just put the sugar back and left the kitchen without a word

Okay, even more interesting

Just what was she up to?

During dinner while he talked friendly with the eyesore, he saw that her emotions were changing, instead of anger she seemed almost sad.

Just what was she thinking of?

He noticed that he was getting angry looks from Charlie and Vaggi as well at the dinner table. He wanted to ask them of their problems with him, but then he noticed that the pair exchanged glances with Emily.

Ohh so the couple was angry at him for whatever Emily told them.

He was trying to think about whatever it could have been when Seviathan turned to him

“I know you prepared human meat for me, but I can't try that food” he signaled towards the gumbo

“And why exactly not?” the radio demon had an idea but wanted to confirm it

“It's just I can't handle spice” he said with a grin. Alastor was ready to throw hands at him for not wanting to eat the food due to pompous reasons, but calmed down in an instant.

Yeah, he should have thought of that

Well it'll be a waste

He looked over and the other cauldron was already empty on the table, while every other dish that the rest of the hotel staff prepared were still mostly full. Did someone raid his gumbo?

He looked over and almost wanted to laugh

The whole content of it was sitting in Emily's giant bowl, as she ate it with a big smile. She was a glutton for it, since she hogged all of it for herself.

He started to laugh quietly, but the other grinning man next to him noticed it. While the others were talking the man whispered

“Hey, don't get this the wrong way, but are you and the angel an item?” asked Seviathan to which Alastor begun laughing louder

“Heavens no” he said

“Alright then” Seviathan smiled back, which made Alastor feel uneasy

“Why the curiosity though?” he asked

“I just noticed she is like Charlie, and a woman like that should not be with you” he said calmly

“I'm a demon through and through” he hummed in agreement but something still felt off.

And that same thought bugged him as he returned to his room. Seviathan and Lucifer went to a duck theater where they'd watch Hamlet performed by ducks. The radio demon could not even begin to understand the fascination with ducks those two had, but never the less he had better things to do.

As he waited in his room for Emily to begin their Therapy, he was almost nervous. She was clearly upset with him, but what unnerved him the most was how he spent so much time thinking about it, of what he may have done wrong.

As she opened the door he noted that she did seem tired actually. She sat on her usual spot without word but with a sigh

He sat there as well without saying anything.

Five long minutes later she finally spoke up

“Alastor, I have to ask you something” she said with determination

“Sure, what may it be?” he asked while he begun to clean his monocle
“Do you trust me?” she asked and he stopped in his tracks

Now that was a peculiar question. He guessed though that it would be better to stay honest

“You actually know more about me than most of hell, so I guess I'd have to say that I trust you the most” he finished cleaning his monocle

“But that doesn't mean you trust me” she looked at him with an expression on the verge of crying

“I hardly ever trusted anyone in my earth or hell life” he shrugged

“I've read in a book that if we tell each other our worst secrets, that should build our trust” she said as she stood up and went in front of him and took hold of his hand “So let me start, but I have multiple secrets...” she trailed off while she held onto him tighter “I'm scarred of heaven” she said her voice hitching. He thought he misheard her

“What do you mean?” he asked while he was unsure of what to do. This angel in front of him was a word away from crying, so he just held her other hand as well.

Usually he was not fond of touches, but he knew she'd be the last one to try to take advantage of him, so he found no problem in it.

She looked at his hand in surprise

“I...” she sniffed “I'm scarred” she whispered as tears begun to fall down

He did not know what to do anymore, so he just got his tissue out of his pocket, and wiped away at her tears.

The whole time he was just thinking though, what was heaven up to if their most loyal, innocent angel had a reaction like this?

“Now now” he petted her head “No need to cry”

She looked into his eyes again, and the words seemed to have lost meaning. She pressed her lips together before she spoke up again

“Heaven is not right for me” she said finally as she sunk to the floor but still held onto his hands.

He petted her head again

“Well, lucky for you, I think our dear Charlie would appreciate if you stayed at the hotel” he said with a smile. His words seemed to have made a difference in her as her eyes lit up a bit

“Do you think so?” she asked as she leaned closer and he actually did not feel the need to back away this time

“Yes” he continued to pet her head gently “Would it make you feel better if I revealed to you my secret?” he asked and she just begun to nod at it

He sighed. There we go

“I'm scarred too” he said. Her eyes widened and her mouth fell open.

“Of what?” she asked while she still leaned into his face

“Of not having power. If you are powerless then you are at the mercy of the next person.” he almost wanted to sink onto the floor too

He saw the gears in her head turning

“Like in your childhood...” she whispered and he just nodded

He felt totally exposed at this moment and had no idea how to move forward. He hasn't told that to anyone and he wasn't sure why was he trusting her, but just the knowledge that she wanted nothing more than to help him made him feel at easy.

She suddenly squeezed his hands

“You will never have to worry about that!” she said as her eyes locked into his. “Even if you don't go to heaven, I wont let anyone hurt you” she said and for a moment he almost forgot how to breath

Then he remembered something

“If I don't go to heaven then you'll just stay here and your soul will belong to me, you'll do that anyway” he said it dismissively and intended to let go of her hands, but she persisted

“I actually wasn't thinking of that...” she said

“In that case I fell quite flattered to have an angel as my knight in shining armor” he let go of her hands to go and compose himself for a minute “Aren't you a pacifist though?” he asked

“I'm not sure anymore” she said as she starred at the ground

“Well in any case...”he trailed off

“I want to know more about you” she said as she looked up at him, the statement kind of took him by surprise

“Ohh what is it you want to know?” he asked as he sat back onto the armchair while she remained on the floor in front of him

“Everything” she knelled up and touched his knees with her hands “What is your favorite movie? Favorite book?” she leaned in closer, positively being between his legs at that point “Favorite color? Ohh I guess it would be red.” her face was mere cms away from his but she still continued “Favorite time of day? Favorite food?” she blabbered more and he started to feel overwhelmed by her closeness, but he also did not want her to go away. In fact, a part of him liked it

So he begun to answer all her questions, and the therapy session flew away with their chatter of favorite books

He could hardly remember the last time he enjoyed himself that much with a simple company of someone

When he woke up the next morning, he felt good. Re energized in fact, and was ready to take on the day head on.

Seviathan was planned to depart in the afternoon, and he still wanted to cause some suffering to him, so he approached him in the lobby with his morning coffee.

“Good day” he said as he sat down on the couch as well

“Hey, morning” said the man while he sipped his own mug “I was meaning to tell you something” he said and noticeably looked around in case anyone was in the vicinity, luckily the whole staff was eating breakfast in the canteen

“Sure, I'm all ears” said Alastor as he relaxed into the couch

“Papa asked me to come because he was worried for the angel” he said

Interesting

“I assume you know then” he said with just a sprinkle of threat in his tone

“Yeah, although I think he has nothing to worry about” he said in a relaxed manner

The peaked up the ears of the radio demon

“What do you mean exactly?”

“I was testing you” said Seviathan as he looked at him “I had a feeling that you may be possessive of her due to her power, so I was working on winning her over”

Damn, why did he not think of that?

He narrowed his eyes

“But I guess I did not expect you to be so fond of her” said the man with a smile

“You must be mistaken”

“I don't think so, yesterday I saw you two having a great time discussing the Great Gatsby and Pride and Prejudice” he said smugly as he took another sip

How could he have seen the two of them? Sure he enjoyed his time too much to send his shadow out but still

“We just happened to find a shared hobby” he said trying to divert the other mans attention away

“No, I don't think so” now what was this prick up to? “You actually remind me of myself” he said as he absently starred into his mug

“Surely not” said Alastor, as the thought of being compared to this man was positively revolting

“It's true, before Charlie I've never trusted anyone like that” he said in a sad tone “We did not last though, but the feeling remains, I know how it is like to catch feelings for someone for the first time, especially for someone like you” he said and begun to get up but the radio demon was not done talking

“I think you are mistaken” he said just to have the last words

“I don't think so, and I know when the time comes you will be right for her and protect her” he said as he got up and walked away

Alastor wanted to reply back something snarky but the other man was faster

“Also, I did not tell Emily my weakness, so whatever you planned to do with our pretend friendship, you can just forget about it” he sad smugly, and the great mood of Alastor was instantly ruined.

Great

His day went by at that point fast and once again, after Seviathan`s departure, he was sitting in his room, waiting for Emily.
She knocked and came in with a box

Peculiar

“What is in this, if I may ask?” he asked as she put the box down carefully

“Ohh just something, but wanted to ask that why were you not at the door when we said bye to Seviathan?” she asked and his annoyance instantly returned

“I was just simply glad that that prick is finally gone” he said

He was annoyed but the way she behaved left him baffled

“Yuhhuuu!! So you are not into him” she flew up in excitement

He was just lost

“Did you think I was into him?” he asked with even more bafflement

She flew down in embarrassment

“Well yeah, Vaggi and Cahrlie told me that you've never gotten along with a man like that” she said

He just begun to laugh

This was hysterical

So was that why she was giving him the angry looks with Charlie and Vaggi? They thought he was flirting with that prick and the angel was upset about it and told the two ladies?

Oh my

That was just too funny

“Well at least that explains somethings” he said when he was finally done laughing.

She was taken aback by his reaction, but seemed to be willing to move on from it as to not draw attention on why she was happy that he wasn't into Seviathan

“Anyway” she said as she brought the box in front of him

It was a normal looking box with green wrapping paper on it, he took it, unsure of what else he to do about it, as he stood in front of her

“Happy Birthday!” she said with a sweet smile

What?

Was it his birthday?

He hadn't even thought about it for so long that the mere fact that it was today slipped his mind complicatedly

He did not know what to reply or say so he begun to awkwardly open it

“I asked Abel to look up your file in heaven the last time he was delivering letters” she said with a satisfied smile

“Uhum” he hummed as he finally opened it

It couldn't have been

But they were

They were freshly made, sugar powdered beignets

How did she...?

When did she...?

Oh wait, he saw her that one time yesterday in the kitchen.
But she just took out a pack of sugar then and put it back

When did she do it?

When did she learn to make them?

And how did she know of his affinity with beignets?

He had so many questions but also none at all

She was endearing

He could see her trying to get the dough right, powdering the sugar for it.

It was getting to him

No one had ever remembered his birthday and made an effort like this

“Wait, I have something else” she said as she took out a little candle and stuck it into one of the beignets

It wasn't lit yet, but that little gesture made him pull her closer and burry his lips into hers.

Chapter Text

He couldn't remember the last time he kissed someone, it was probably during his life. After death he had no interest to do that with anyone in hell

Yet...

When he was alive, he occasionally flirted with some belles of the town, or even with some old white trash. He did lure those fuckers to the bayou with promises of sex and depravity, and he at least gave them depravity there.

Yet...

Alastor could not remember a time when he initiated a kiss without some dubious reason. The ladies who he had flirted with were just good to flatter his ego, as he, a black man was able to leave them begging for any crumbs of affection. The black women avoided him like the plague, maybe they felt some of the woodoo on him

Yet...

Yet he was not able to stop himself from kissing her with every want in his cells. Their lips were closed as he just tried to go by instinct, while he held onto her waist.

Yet...

After the initial shock, she kissed him back! With so much enthusiasm that he could almost not know how to react to it. She clung to him and initiated entrance with her tongue while her hands slowly went up to into his hair. He slowly opened his mouth, and it might have been one of the biggest examples of dominance he had seen

Her tongue was playing with his, as she begun to measurably push him towards the wall while deepening the kiss with every step

When his back hit the wall, he grunted, but not from pain, but from the way she pushed onto him.

He still held the beignets in one of his hands, but he slowly started to consider discarding them, as she stopped the kiss and moved onto his neck.

She was making little sounds as she left small bites on his throat, but all he could think of was that he was beginning to feel overwhelmed

“Emily” he tried, but she just continued

He slowly got a hold of her chin and lifted up her gaze to his

Which may have been a bad idea, because what he saw in her periwinkle eyes were nothing short of enticing

“Emily” he said her name but the following train of thought was broken as she pulled him down by his collar to continue their kiss

He reciprocated the kiss, but after that he had to put some distance between them, so he pushed her gently away by he shoulder
She looked confused and filled with need

This was hard

“Emily, I think it would be best if we talked” he said with an honest smile, as he offered his hand

She took it, unsure at first, and he lead her to the couch

“What do you want to talk about?” she asked as he took a seat next to her, putting the beignest in between them.

“Our liaison at least need to be discussed” he said as he laid back on the couch

“What do you mean? It's clear we like each other” she said with a bright smile

“Since when do you fancy me?” he asked, while he took a beignet but did not bite into it

“I don't know...” she went into deep thought

“I thought you may only desire my human form” he said absent mindedly, not noticing the open mouth gape at first

“You knew!?” she whined as het face goldened up “Ohh noo...”

“Why the hysteria, I was a handsome fella, don't you think?” he said smugly, taking a bite out of the sweet treat in the process, it tasted exactly as he remembered

“But I...” she said, but she wasn't able to hold his gaze on her

“Yes? Did you do something noteworthy with the image of my human self?” he asked with a knowing smile

She was so easy to read, he figured out weeks ago what she may have been up to at nights, just by looking at her face. Ohh but he enjoyed to tease
“I...um...none of that is important now! Since when to you like me?” she asked

Ahh a counter attack

“I'm honestly not even sure if I like you” he said as he finished up the beignet “After all, it was a spur of the moment, don't you think?” he said in a conceited tone

As he looked at her, he expected some annoyance or even anger at his words, but he did not get that

Instead she was starring at his lips with awe and absent mindlessly reached to his lips, and rubbed with her thumb off some left over sugar there. This action astonished him, and he was pulled back immediately.

He had enough time to magic away the box of treats, before she pulled him down for a kiss

This was quite intoxicating if he wanted to be honest with himself

The kiss deepened as her fingers run through his hair, pulling him closer

What was he to do with an eager little dove like this?

Her lips were warm and soft and sweet from the sugar, his lips parted allowing her tongue to slip in.

There was a warmth growing in him, as he leaned into it more, and he felt her melt into it, allowing him to slowly push her into the soft cushion.

She whimpered under him and it was a sound he did not imagine to ever tire of

He wanted to hear it again

He broke the kiss to gaze at her for a moment.

Her little blushed up face and swollen lips almost made him continue the kiss, but he had other plans.

“Tell me little dove” he said as he lifted up a strand of her hair and toyed with it for a moment “what is it that you'd like of me?” he asked as he slowly sniffed the hair he was holding

It smelled like the sweetest sugar and a hint of magnolia

He grinned as he saw the desire in her eyes

She reached up one hand and gently brushed her fingers on his cheek

“Please...”

“No, that wont do, you have to tell me exactly what you want” he teased her further with a grin

She sighed

And took a hold of his hand that was clutching her hair

She pulled it down towards her neck and he gently touched it with his index finger

“Would you like me to do something here” he teased as he ran his newly extended claw on the skin

“Yes” she whispered while she did not take her eyes off of him

“Ohh but what exactly?” he teased further as he lowered himself

“Please...just...” he did not let her finish as he did a tiny bite there “Ahh..”

Yeah, that was the sound he wanted to hear

So he continued, ripping the collar of the dress apart when he wanted to taste her skin more

She was sensitive to all of his touches and he relished in it
The sounds of her whines made him more agitated with every moment, and he felt a true wave of desire- He hasn't felt this riled up since he was a young lad, but he also has never had a willing little angel under him before

It was new

So he just continued

He couldn't leave a scar on her, as her heavenly skin was inpanatretable, but he did try a little bit, and got louder moans from her with each try

“Alastor...” she whispered in between whines and his ears perked up

“Hmm?” he still continued

“Do you...Ahh...” she whined again

He got curious and lifted his head to see what she may want but his tender fingers on her little throat remained there

She looked up at him with half lidded eyes

“Yes dove? What do you want?” he asked in a mock as he traced a claw at the ripped collar of her dress

“Uhh..”

“Use words” he continued as he ripped the dress down further with one claw

“I want too...” she looked away. He almost wanted to laugh, she was so embarrassed.

“Would you like me to continue?” he asked as he slowly dragged his claw further

“Yes! Please...” she breathed and he obliged

The dress gave a sound as he was tearing it apart bit by bit

He reached something soft

Ohh

He knew what he wanted to do

She became even more sensitive as he slowly dragged the claw down her skin towards her hardened nipple

She squealed when he reached it

He wanted to see it

So he slowly opened the fabric and saw her left breast in full view. Her nipple was a darker color then her lips, and was portruting

It was perfect looking

Not that he had seen many or at all before this, at least volunterally speaking since coming to hell

Her left hand reached up to cover it but he pulled her hand away and held it down next to her face

“No need to cover it my dear, you are divine looking” he said as he licked his lips “and you begged” he let go of her hand to explore a bit

As he touched her, her eyes were on him, and she moaned with each touch, especially when he finally reached the nip

She bragged onto him

“Please...I really want...” she couldn't continue as he went down and begun licking it
For him the taste was no different than her skin from before, but her whines were different, so he started to lick harder.

Her body curled as a reaction

He wanted to see how she'd react if he'd continue on her breasts, but as soon as he moved she whined again in disappointment. Ohh so the nipple is the most sensitive

After that he begun to tease her with his ever coming and moving tongue on her nipple, and she moaned in frustration and satisfaction all the same.

He was surprised how much he enjoyed listening to the sounds of her cries, after all he did not get satisfaction from it, yet it was still an experience he begun to enjoy vehemently

After the fifth time he intentionally avoided her nipple, she huffed in frustration and run her hand through his hair, touching his ear slightly, he looked up at her

“Can you stop teasing?”

“But it's such a great fun” he snickered and returned

“I'm just getting...close” she whispered the last part but his ears perked up

Ohh well he did not want to miss that

So he went back, and started sucking, biting and licking with fervor

Her moans were more erratic than before, and she held onto him

He could tell it was building up so he opened up her other breast from the dress and begun to tease with his fingers there too.

After that it only took her five heavy moans before she cried out in pleasure.

He breathed her in, and she was a little sweaty from their action, but underneath it all, he could still smell the sweet sugar scent.
While she was shaking she held onto him tight, making him feel warm and close

“I...I didn't expect...this was...” she was still not able to find the words, which made him smile as he slowly lifted up to look at her

“I assume you still had your fun” he said with a grin as he petted her head

“Yes! It was honestly...amazing” she said

Oh Fuck

The way she was looking, with her boobs out, eyes filled with want, it made him almost undone right then and there.

He was not exactly sure what to do further, his brain still was under fog

“Did you like it?” she asked as she touched his cheek with her reached out hand

He just smiled more honestly and leaned down to give a peck on her lips

“What do you think?” he teased and she giggled

He got up after that from the couch, and was just about to give her a blanket when she repaired her dress with seraph magic

Okay, that'd do too

She sat up with a big smile and rushed up to hug him

Before he could return the hug she said

“I've been interested in you, even before I've seen your human form”

“That's quite a compliment my dear” he petted her head

She gazed up at him with a bigger grin

“And since when do you like me?” she asked but he wasn't just about yet to give up this little game

“Ohh look at it, it's almost your bedtime, and we haven't even finished the wonderful beignets you made” he got the box back in his hand and put the sweets in front of her. She took one and let him go to sit on the armchair next to the sofa

He could tell that she was annoyed with his reaction, but it was just too amusing

“So?” he asked and she looked up startled

“Hm?” she asked

“I think it'd be time now to tell me exactly what do you expect of our relationship?” he said with a smile

“I've...thought it's obvious...but I want to be with you” she looked at him as he was standing next to the armchair where she was sitting

“Yes, but do you expect me to court you?” he asked as he took another treat

“I just thought that it'd be more spontaneous and like it was before” she blushed as she said it

“So would you be then my boo?” he asked and she started laughing

“Yes, I do want you to call me boo” she got up and got her arms around his neck, as he pulled him down a bit “and yes, I do want to be“ she answered and kissed him longingly which he returned

Since he did not feel ready yet for things to escalate again, he broke the kiss and touched her cheek with his palm

“That's good my dear, back in my day people would have had to get married for less” he said with a smile as her eyes widened “Now, it is getting late, and tomorrow you, we can meet after again” he said gently
She at first did seem to want to argue with him, but at the end just nodded and after another peck on the lips, went towards the door, he followed as well

“Then, good night” she said as she grabbed the handle

“Wait” he said to which she fully turned around “I don't know exactly when or how, but I've started to care for you for some time too” he said with a genuine smile

She squealed, jumped up and kissed him again shortly before she bid her final goodbye for the night.

After she left he just sad down on the armchair with a mix of emotions.

He had to think

He was on one hand very satisfied that Emily had shown so much enthusiasm for their doings, but on the other hand, it was just so new to him, that he wasn't sure how to properly even think about it.

He did admit that he had fondness for her, and he knew himself better than to deny that he was attracted to her, but was it worth it all? He had her in a soul contract, which was important to him, he did not want to break it, and he also had to try and redeem himself, but now the situation was more complicated if he mixed in affection and physicality...But he also could not deny that they already went too far to turn back, and he was surprised by how great he felt, knowing he could make her come even without him touching her further

He only knew that she did not fancy anyone before him, which also made him feel a bit full of himself to be able to get her so far already. But was he himself willing to go there?

In the spur of the moment he would have said yes absolutely, but now that he had some space he became more unsure. As a human, he knew he was handsome, but as a demon in hell, he just looked so inhumane, that he wasn't sure how could anyone be into him. Well, that stupid TV head was just a weirdo in his book, since he fucked in front of him, that disgusting moth porn sinner.

But the taste of an angel should not be that odd

Did that mean that he was actually handsome to her? He took pride in how even in hell he looked put together and orderly, yet his animalistic features were something else.

Images of her under him with boobs out, looking positively spent were coming back to him

Fuck

He was growing hard again, and now he regretted sending her to bed

Well, he decided, that he'd want to explore whatever was between them, and just take care of pesky problems later as they came

He reached down to touch his erection, but his hands were not enough

Should he go to her room? Or sneak in?

Absolutely not!

He was not a creep

Maybe the only other time he was this worked up was during his hormonal years as a teenager, but those were such a long time ago, that he almost forgot how to even react

“Emily” he whispered into the darkened room, as he begun to move his hand

No, it wasn't enough

He grunted in frustration and decided to deal with this later

He needed a distraction, so he got up and started organizing the list for the next upcoming radio program
Yes, good jazz and some overlord screams of pain were all he needed to get his mind off

After he checked on his disgusting `father` he went back to continue, not realizing the knock on the door at first

He heard the knock again

He looked at the clock, and it was barely 5 am. He smiled, there could only be one person who'd be there now, so he went to open the door

As he expected Emily was standing there, in a purple nightgown, with braided up hair, not looking tired in the slightest

“Hey, I'm sorry, I couldn't sleep” she rubbed her head to which he just smiled and let her in

“I also wasn't sleeping, care for a coffee?” he asked as he let her in

“No, I wanted to talk with you” she said with a grin as she sat on the couch

He remained standing and looked at her with question

“Yes, what is it?” his head tilted to the side

“I realized that it wasn't fair”

“Hm?”

“You...satisfied me...” she blushed “Yet I did not satisfy you” she looked up at him with an unsure smile

“You did not need to” he said as he stood in front of her and petted her head

“But I want to! Please can I try it?” she asked as her hands reached up to his waist

Ohh just the thing he was craving for a couple of hours prior...
But how does one even start with it

“Uhmm...do you wish to?” he asked while he still petted her head

“Yes!” the way she looked up at him left him speechless for a moment, and he only nodded at her request

She begun to touch him there through the pants, and he was becoming sensitive even to that and a grunt escaped him

That seemed to make her braver, because she started to unbutton his trousers while he still kept his hand on her head

He was not sure how to do it, but she seemed to have an edge to initiate, so he allowed her to just do what she wants, while he tried to keep himself together

So slowly her hands slipped into his pants and touched his erect penis. He grunted again. The stimulation was hard to describe, nothing like his own hand.

Her soft fingers wrapped around it and gently pulled it out of the pants, to which he flinched.

“Ohh” she seemed to be in awe “I did not expect it to be black” she said while she made a small stroke, he grunted again

“Is it a problem” he breathed it out before she stroked it again

She just giggled

“No, it just looks so intimidating” she confessed and he petted her head again

“You don't have to..” although that was a blatant lie, he really wanted her to continue

“Just let me try” she stroked it again and he moaned to it

After that she started a pace that he did not expect. It felt great, and he buried his fingers in her hair while she continued

“Can I lick it?” she asked shyly, and he just started laughing

“Please do” he said and that was all the encouragement she needed to lean forward and lick just the very tip of it

“Ahhh...” the sensation was too good, he couldn't believe it, but before he could say anything more, she took it a step further and put his whole shaft into her mouth

He grunted loudly and held her head with both hands

This reaction seemed to have riled her up, because she begun to suck on him and move her head even more.

Unknowingly he started to move her head as well and started to fuck her mouth with his movements

He had half a brain cell left to remember not to goo too deep, but besides that the urges took over and at the end he moved his hips in a fast pace

When he finally came he cried out as he released all he had. She swallowed it up without complaint and remained there for a little while longer.

He finally moved and grunted again as his dick slipped past her swollen lips

He starred down at her, and she looked somehow insanely attractive and adorable, so he caressed her hair again, and she smiled up at him

“Was it good?” she asked as he finally took a seat next to her, after he cleaned up

“Darling, I think good is a horrible way to faze it, it was phenomenal” he said and to it, she squealed and cuddled up to his side

“I'm so happy, I wasn't sure how to do it...but I'm glad it worked out” she said as she gaze a kiss to his cheek. He just hummed in satisfaction as he laid back further

“But now it's uneven between us” he said and she looked up at him in confusion

“What do you mean?” she asked but before she could even finish he pushed her down with his hand while the other hand begun to lift up her skirt “What?” she laughed as he lifted the skirt to her knees and run a few clawed fingers on her skin “Ahh...I'm sensitive” she said but he just continued

After all, he liked to be dominating, so her little adventure before left him wanting to see her whine under him again. His claw went up higher on her thigh and she whined out again as he slowly arrived at her underwear

“Wait...” she tried to say but he silenced her cries with a deep kiss, while his hand continued to get rid of the pesky fabric under

She kissed him back eagerly and that's all he needed to break the fabric bellow

“Now let me see” he broke the kiss and looked down on her lifted dress, but he could not see that well, so he also picked up her butt to be able to see more

Her pussy was the first he had ever seen this close and in person, and honestly it may have been worth to wait over 90 years just to see it. The skin slowly went more gray there and the peaks he got from the inside looked to be the same shade as her lips. Without realizing it, be put a hand on it just to feel it

“Ahh” she whined and that's all he had to hear before he retracted his claws and started rubbing the thing that he guessed was the clitoris

“Wait...” she took hold of his hand “Do it like this” she showed him how to rub the sensitive bud, and as he was trying in doing it she begun to moan again

He grinned as he was doing it, but he wanted to take another step, and so he gently inserted one finger

She cried out

Her insides felt so tight around his finger, that he was not sure at first how to even move, when it was so tight. So he begun in small notions and was building up to more with each second, while listening to her wonderful moans.

He was curious though on how it would taste, so without warning he leaned down and started licking it, it tasted like her

She reacted the strongest to that, holding his head down, while her body curled and she whined and moaned loudly. Yes, he wanted to hear that, he was getting hard again just by listening to her

He wanted to see her come again, so started to lick and suck every part of her pussy while his inserted finger begun to move in and out

The pace he was doing was merciless and she came not long after that

She was shaking and holding onto him for dear life

When he finally lifted his head to look at her, he licked her off of his lips, and that action was enough for her to pull him down and kiss him

The kiss was more intimate then sexy, but he didn't mind as she clung to him

When the kiss was broken she breathed

“That was amazing...”

He could only smile at it, as he petted her head

“I was just going on your reactions” he said as she laced her hands around his neck

“You almost seem like you have experience”

“I assure you, I don't” he said with a grin as he slowly lifted them both up, she just hummed at it

“Well, you are really good, not that I have anything to compare with but still” she said as she held him with content “What time is it?” she looked up with frenzy

“I believe it's 6 am” and she visibly calmed

“I have to be up in one hour to help Charlie with the scented candle exercise” she said

“Candles? How would those help the unspeakable sinners here?” he asked in an amused tone

“Well you see in heaven souls really like the calming scent of candles, so I thought that we should try to implement some here too, as a form of relaxation”

“Hmm, not sure how useful that is”

“What would you do?” she asked and he raised an eyebrow at her

“Me?” she nodded “I only have terrible ideas” he snickered but she giggled to it as well “Anyway, care for some breakfast?” he asked and she nodded

They shared his usual breakfast, which was Cajun skillet, and she hummed while she ate it.

She explained that she'd be busy for the most part that day due to her various projects with Charlie, but that she wanted to spend time with him after dinner

He agreed and as he walked her to the door she kissed him again before she flew out of the room with a happy smile

He was also in a good mood, and decided that the radio would play more uplifting songs that day.

His mood was so apparent that Husk was side eyeing him the whole morning

“I don't know what's up with you, but somethings not right” said the cat demon as he cleaned up a martini glass

“I assure you, you do not need to worry” he said with a grin

“I worry more after you said that” spit Husker “Anyway, where's Charlie? Those drinks she ordered have been sitting there a while” he motioned towards some cups of coffee, and one of them looked like a sugar bomb of caramel next to the normal looking cappuccino

He grinned

“I'll deliver these to our dear Charlie” he said as he picked up the tray, and ignored the open mouth gape that Husk gave him

He went towards the hall where he could tell that Charlie and Vaggi were both building a skate ring, but he could not see Emily anywhere

“Ohh Alastor, thank you” said Charlie as she approached him while Vaggi just looked at him confused

“With pleasure” he replied, but he was still looking around the room

“You seem weirdly nice” interjected the fallen angel, as she took her coffee

“What do you mean Vagatha, I'm always nice” he said as he finally noticed a little wing peaking out form behind the disco ball and went there without giving Charlie her drink that she was reaching for

“Ha?” he heard the blonde but he ignored it as he bee lined to Emily

The disco ball was still on the ground, and Emily was working on with her bubble magic to make the discs sparkle, and did not notice the approaching radio demon

“Hi my dear” he said behind her and she yelped

“Hi Alastor, sorry, I did not notice, I was...” she looked around embarrassed but he just smiled

“Don't forget your drink my dear” he held the tray in front of her and she took the whipped creamed one with a laugh

“Thank you, I was so in trance, I forgot about it” she smiled at him and she looked adorable as she started to sip the drink from the straw

But then he remembered how her lips were somewhere else just mere hours before, and he really had to control himself before his thoughts went even more obscene

So he just grinned as Charlie and Vaggi approached them

“Alasotr, may I have my coffee?” asked the blonde and he just gave it to her without taking one eye off from Emily

To which both the princess of hell and the fallen angel raised an eyebrow

“Is everything good between the two of you?” asked Charlie and he finally turned his head towards her

“Yes, positively, why wouldn't we be?” he said as he spurned next to Emily and put an arm on her shoulder

The angel just giggled

But the couple next to them was just more confused

“I guess the beignets worked then, huh” said Charlie as she rubbed her head

“Yes! A huge success” beamed Emily and he just smiled more

“Okay, great, Alastor would you like to help us?”

“I have my own work, I just helped out Husk in delivering the two coffees and whatever monstrosity that was, to you” he pointed at Emily's drink, to which she huffed

“I just like my coffee sweet” she said and he just squeezed her shoulder

“Dear, that is not coffee anymore” he said just to annoy her, which was working

“It still has coffee in it, and it's all the rage in heaven” she replied and he just caressed her head

“Dear, a coffee is made from the coffee bean, this contains less than 10% of that, therefore it does not constitute as coffee” he said

“Well try it, you may like it” she offered it to him, and to the surprise of the two spectators they had, he took it and had a sip

“As I expected, it's just milk and sugar” he said in a condescending tone

It was so easy to annoy her

“Well, but we know you like sweets” she murmured as he just took another sip and almost chocked on the drink, he had to cough

Touche little dove

“Ha? You like sweets?” asked Vaggi “Ohh yeah, she made those sugared things right?” turned the silver haired to her girlfriend, but Charlie was still analyzing the situation before her

“Well I'm glad the rift had been solved, now back to work” said Charlie, but she was still looking out for anything to give away their relationship, and Alastor was just not having it

“Dear Charlie, wouldn't a marriage between you too be soon expected?” he dropped the bomb and knew that that would get them off of their backs, as now Charlie and Vaggi went into deep discussions about their potential wedding

“I do like the sweets that come from you” he whispered to Emily to which she turned fully golden and he kissed her cheek when the two others weren't paying attention and disappeared into the shadows.

Yes, he had a great mood

Maybe he could like to have mornings like that with her

As the day passed he was musing on what should they do later, and decided to play the same jazz song to which they danced to in the club, he was still preparing that when she showed up at his door with what appeared to be ice cream

“Have you not had your fair share of sugar today?” he asked with a grin as she closed the door behind her

“No and this is for you” she gave him the box and as he smelled it, it was the non human meat but human flavored ice cream he ate in the amusement park

“This is marvelous, where were you able to find it?” he asked as he petted her hair once, to which she just smiled

“I asked Nifty to buy it for me” she said and he just hummed after he put an icing spell on it and left it on the coffee table

She seemed nervous and well, he also did not know what may happen, but he wanted to keep an open mind to it.

“What is it with our therapy session now?” he asked “After all, we can't forget about my redemption”

“Of course not! I actually have an idea I wanted to try” she said as she sat down on that couch, that he had now associated with their passionate doings, so he sat on the armchair next to the couch

“Yes, I'm all ears” he laced his fingers together in anticipation

“Okay, so I thought that you can start doing good to the sinners. Let their souls be free”

He thought he misheard her

“That wouldn't make me much of an overlord” he replied sourly

“But you have my soul now, you don't need more power” she replied and he hated that she was making sense

He laid back and let out an annoyed sigh

Was this what he had to do?

His shadows circled around him in agitation and in the room the lights were flickering

“Alastor” she said and he finally pulled his attention back at her. She looked scared and at least he knew that he did not want to make her feel like that

“Apologies my dear, I seemed to have had a little tantrum” he said as he took hold of his shadow and sent it back outside

After the lights were no longer flickering, she calmed down

“So what do you think?” she asked and he felt to urge to lose control again for a split second

“I think we need to go slower, I can't give up all souls in a day, hell would know immediately that something is of the matter” he said with tilted head

“That's true...what if we start with Husk?” she asked and he sighed again

“Husk is one of my favorites, that's why he's at the hotel” he said as he got up to pour himself a glass of gin, he also poured coke for her.

“What was the deal between you too?” she asked after he sat back down and gave her the drink.

“He just gambled away his soul, as well as every other soul he owned to me” he explained and noticed that she visibly relaxed

“Huhh, I thought it'd be worse, and you just make him work here, right? Nothing bad?” she asked to which he nodded “After what I've seen in that tower, you are actually nice to the souls you own” she gazed at him with a wide grin

“I'm never nice” he replied reflexively, but immediately caught himself on the blatant lie, he was being nice to her an awful lot...

“But you are” she got up and knelled down in front of him, an action that surely reminded him of their earlier doings. She was touching his hands, and he held onto hers back.

“Fine, I'll free our bartender tomorrow morning” he said while he grinned and she nodded enthusiastically to it

“Great! Do you have anyone else`s soul in the hotel?” she asked as she went up, but he did not feel the need the back away

“Just some souls here and there” he run his fingers through her soft hair, and she leaned into it

“Yeah? Do you have a favorite?” she asked with a mischievous spark in her eyes

“A Good overlord doesn't chose favorites” he replied as he slowly begun to summon the chains around her neck

“Hmmm...I was hoping I'd be among them” she whispered as he felt her hot breath close to him, he really wanted to play further

“Maybe you'd be if you listened more to my orders” he said as his hand gripped the chain “So tell me, what is it that you want?” he was so intent to pull it, but wanted to wait for her answer
“I just want you to kiss me” she said and he pulled the chain and with it their lips finally met.

He was more assertive with their kiss then ever before, as he leaned into it, and deepened it with each second. Her hands went around his neck, and he pulled her up to sit on his lap, while he continued the kiss, and his hands explored further.

His hand went under the skirt, his claws went up on her thighs, and when he reached her butt, he gripped there.

She whined into the kiss but continued to move suggestively on his lap

He started to grow hard from the motion, and knew that if they actually go further, not many things would stop them, but he still needed to know

“Emily” he broke the kiss to look at her “you haven't been with anyone like that, are you positively sure you want it?” he asked but she just kissed him eagerly

“Yes! I've never felt like this before, and I really want to do everything with you! Just yesterday I was imagining it so much.” she said and he gently caressed her face while listening to it, it was so new to him to be wanted this much, with honesty, without any bad intentions, with just a pure want, that it was just really intoxicating

“I'm glad to hear that” he smiled before he kissed her again shortly “Umm...do you want to go to the bed?” he asked and she sheepishly nodded, to which he picked her up and carried her there while she held to him with her legs and arms.

When he laid her there, she begun to cover his face everywhere with little kisses, which filled him with warmth, and before he knew it he started to tear up her dress with his claws, while in the meantime her hands were quickly getting rid of his jacket and begun unbuttoning what he was wearing.

He saw her before in parts, but it was something better to get all clothes rid of her and to see her in without them. He quickly got rid of the jacket and bow tie, while she just watched him with awe
But when she saw the scar on his chest her breath hitched, and before he could say anything she leaned ahead and started to leave tiny kisses on his scar.

Somehow it felt like that it was actually helping the scar to heal, but he wasn't sure how could that be, nevertheless she continued to do so, and he continued to touch her adoringly.

She was also touching him on his chest, and each pass of her fingers left him tingling.

When her hands finally reached his pants she unbuttoned it and he let out a satisfied sigh as she softly pulled out his erect penis

His hands were on her waist and boobs and everywhere as she slowly was moving her hand up and down on his erection

He enjoyed looking at her, as she was working on him, but he just wanted to push her down and have another taste of his own, so that's what he did.

She yelped as he pushed her down, but he just really wanted to take in the look of her naked in his bed.

She was fully bare, her hair scattered around her, nipples hard and she looked up at him with so much want, that he did not want to make her wait, so he leaned down and opened her legs up.

As he took the first lick she moaned once to it, but he knew he could get a better reaction out of her, and begun doing exactly what he did in the morning, but this time he inserted two fingers in.

Her moans and whines were music to his ears, but he was also doing it, because he knew that the first time would likely hurt for her, and wanted to prepare her properly.

She appeared to be close, so he started to move faster

“Alastor please...” she moaned

She came not long after, and he was satisfied to see her tremble in his arms.

They laid together intertwined as her breathing normalized, while he was holding her from the back, fully naked himself, and breathing in her sweet sugar scent.

When her hands were wondering over to him was when he knew that he let her rest enough, and pulled her closer for a long and deep kiss.

He intended to push her down and for him to be on top, but she seemingly had other plans as she quickly took him over and was on top of him, kissing him with passion.

Her willingness was certainly attractive, but what he did not expect of her was how quickly her hands were on his erection, doing the exact motion that left him speechless.

He touched her pussy and she was dripping wet from his previous doings

“Emily, are you...” he couldn't finish as she leaned down and licked the very tip of his dick before she sat up and positioned herself on top of him.

“Yes” she kissed him while her pussy was aligned perfectly for penetration
“Can I?” she asked and he kissed her as an answer. To this she begun to slowly push down on him, and he felt just how tight she was even just at where he was.

But the feeling was undescribable, as warmth and wetness wrapped around him, but he could tell that it was still too tight, and she was unsure.

“Let me do it” he said as he folded them over, and begun to slowly enter her, while paying attention to her every reaction.

She winced a couple of times, and he tried to be patient, but it was very taxing on him, as all he wanted to do was fully put it in.

“Does it hurt” he asked as he kissed her shortly

“A bit, I need more time” she said and then kissed him again deeply. They kissed for a bit more before she seemed comfortable enough to continue.

When he was fully in, she seemed to be out of breath, and he did no dare to move an inch.

“Emily, please try to relax” he said as he gently petted her hair

“I'm trying...uhhh...do you think I'm...attractive?” she asked shyly and he couldn't believe it, he was positively inside of her yet she was still unsure

“I think you, little dove, are the most appealing belle I've ever had the pleasure to meet” he confessed honestly, and she gave him another passionate kiss in return

“You are also the handsomest soul I've ever seen” she smiled as she rubbed their noses together “I've always wanted to feel like this, and now you are here with me” she whispered as she give a peck to his lips

“I'm here” he whispered back, and tried to move slowly. She winced less, so he started a have some small movements

It was difficult to hold back

“You can try...faster now” she said, and so he was finally able to dictate a different pace, as he was fully deep within her, both of them were groaning and crying out different sounds with each movement, and chasing a satisfaction only found within each other.

His antlers grew, and she was holding onto them, while he was moving faster then ever, feeling like he was losing his mind in pleasure and in the sweet sounds of her voice. He was fucking her hard, and wanted to finish inside of her.

When he came, he was holding her with shaky hands, while she was kissing his cheek.

He collapsed on top of her, and she just giggled at it, while all he wanted to do was hear her voice as he fell asleep.

Usually he was not sleeping much since coming to hell, but he could have had the best sleep of his life if it was to the sound of her laughter and to her sweet scent surrounding him.

Alastor awoke in the middle of the night to the sound of jazz playing. He wasn't even sure when or how he dozed off. All he could recall was..

Ohh

Right

That thought brought a slight smile to his face, more than his usual grin. But where was she?

He looked around, his bed was already in the bayou side of the room, filling his nose with the smell of nature, yet the angel was nowhere to be seen.

But then the door opened and there she flew in, wearing her lavender colored nightgown, with a tray in hand and a big smile on her face.

“Heyy, I've brought some bagels for us” she said as she glided to the bed where he sat up in it, but consciously he left the blanket on, as he was unclothed. He did not say anything as he was just studying her every move while she put away her wings,sat on the bed and begun to spread cream cheese on the aforementioned bagels “Here” she gave it to him, in an endearing way

“Darling, you don't have to literally feed me” he explained as he took it from her fingers, to which she just giggled

“Would you like it though?” she leaned closer with mischief in her eyes

“Uhmm, I usually don't like to be spoiled” he said but as he thought of it more, it did sound enticing a little bit, so he cupped her face into his palm “But I'd be willing to try it” he whispered and could tell that his voice had an affect on her, as she slowly leaned in and stole a quick kiss from him

“Maybe after I ate” she said, her voice cheery, and took a big bite of her bagel, he followed suit.

It didn't really taste as anything he usually liked, but he was eager to just eat something

“May I ask, how was it for you?” he asked after he finished his bread and reached for a second one

She begun coughing and took a sip of water from the cup next to his bed. After she felt better she turned to him with a smile and a little bit of golden flush on her face

“It was amazing” she said “How about you?” she scooted next to him and rested her head on his shoulder, the action made him feel calm yet excited. He reached up a finger and brushed her face gently

“Emily, it was something that was well wroth waiting for, for almost a century” he said and she just grinned into his skin “but I hope I did not hurt you” he said with a noticeable unease in his tone

“No it was...umm...” she raised her head from him to look him in the eyes “I...” she begun to stare at the three next to the bed “I quite liked it” she murmured in a hushed tone, to which he raised an eyebrow

That was new

He thought women of her caliber wanted a prince charming who was gentle and loving, but this information made him reconsider his previous assessment

“Did you enjoy when I was less controlled?” he asked and saw that her blush deepened

“Maybe to a degree” she confessed and he just starred at her with even more of a confusion “Anyways, are you sleepy? It's only 2 am” she said rapidly, her attitude made him grin
He took the cup of water from between her fingers and chugged it down in one go then sat it back down on his nightstand and with one move he got rid of the tray of food.

“No” he replied and went closer to her, the action made her visibly enticed and she hooked her arms around his neck, eagerly receiving his kiss

He immediately deepened it and begun touching her through the nightgown, her nipples were perking in his palms, and not long after he was already on top of her, trailing down on her neck, every action making her whimper even more

When he was about to cut her clothes off of her, she stopped him

“Wait, I can get it off of me in an instant” she said

He thought about for a moment as he leaned up to see her

“I quite enjoy tearing it off” he tore an inch down with his claw of the dress “And also..” he kissed her, then leaned down to whisper into her ear “I'd like to see your splendid wings”

His hot breath in her ear made goosebumps on her arms and she just nodded

With a hand movement all five wings plus the golden one were back, spread out under her, with all their marvelous glory

He kneeled up and run his hand through the feathers, the action making her voice hitch which stopped him in his tracks.

“Could you be sensitive here?” he asked, a devilish grin on his lips

She just nodded and that gave him an idea

“Move around on your knees” he gave her the order and she followed it with anticipation

As she was on her hands and knees, her bum facing him, her wings right in the position for him to touch, he put his hand in between her feathers and run his fingers through again from the base till the tip and had a front row seat to see how she begun to come undone just by those action, as she shivered and moaned under his ministrations

“My dear” he bent down and put his hand under her chin, slowing lifting her up “Why on earth didn't you tell me this?” he asked as his other hand stroked through her wing and she trembled under his touch

He was already hard just by witnessing her reactions, so he lifted up her dress and touched her wet pussy with his fingers, claws retracted, and she let out a sound that made him want to shove it in already.

So that's what he did, slowly, yet he payed attention to each response from her, as he moved in. She cried out when his full length was inside of her and he sighed in relief at the comforting feeling of her insides.

His hand was still under her chin and he pulled her up, while his face was covered in light feathers

“Ahhh...Alastor” she said between moans as he begun to move behind her, while he captured the look in her lovely eyes

“My my...” he whispered into her ear” aren't you simply delightful when you look at me like that” he said and his voice affected her more because she leaned more into him and kissed him with a hunger that was so utterly new and irresistible.

So he picked up the pace and she came not long after, due to his unending touching of her heavenly wings and unforgiving pace. But she was taking it all with so much eagerness that it made him feel that he'd not be able to last very long, although he still wanted to do something.

So he stopped and she mewled in disappointment

“Darling, I do want to see you more” he said as he teared up her nightgown, lifted her up and carried her to the open floor to ceiling window where due to the light reflection, they did not see Pentagram city but only themselves.

The look of her spread out, him inside of her, her wings around her made her look so innocent yet seductive to him, with those half lidded eyes of hers that looked into his red ones filled with desire, he honestly lost all remnants of control he ever had and begun to indulge himself in her.

She was whining to his every move and rested her palms on the window glass

“Such an eager little thing” he said as he breathed in the sweet scent of her hair “how positively charming”

“Please...” she let out and her voice was the thing that made him finish not long after inside of her, while he bit into her shoulder with a groan

He couldn't define how he felt because as if it was possible, this new position even topped the previous one, he contemplated as he panted behind her

“Hey” she said with joyful tone

“Yes” he breathed out as he came out of her and saw his semen flow down on her tights

She turned to him and looked so appealing still

“You are wonderful” her tone cheery as she got on her tiptoes and kissed him again with passion

He returned it eagerly but honestly all he expected was a simple kiss, not her tongue entering his mouth and her hands touching his half erect penis.

Ohh she wanted more

So he gave in and soon after they were leaning towards the window again, now she was facing him and he was fucking her as her wings were spread out on the glass behind her. Their moanings mixed in with the jazz playing in the room, of the song they first danced to. And as both of them came again, they kissed and held onto each other with desperation.

When the morning came both of them were spent fully and just laid in the bed, cuddled up and talked about everything and nothing with laughter.

“Holly sh...” she put her hand on top of her lips to stop herself, he just chuckled at that, she didn't really like to curse “it's already half past 7, I need to get up and be ready! Charlie is waiting for me with the roller skate disco” she explained as she got up hastily, repaired her dress, and begun to fly rapidly towards the door, while he was still in bed, undressed with a fully messed up hairdo, watching her in amusement

“Wait...” she said to herself in front of the door, to which he just raised an eyebrow. But before he could say anything she flew back in the span of a second and stole a kiss from him with a mischievous grin, and was out of the door. He just sighed in bemusement and got up himself.

This angel was truly not what he expected, but he was glad for it, she was much more fun than he gave her credit before.

An hour later he was in the lobby, drinking his morning coffee when the whole hotel was gathered up there for an announcement

“Hey” said Charlie as she got a hold of the microphone in the podium “First, thank you so much everyone for coming here” she said with a heartfelt smile “I gathered you all here to announce the opening of our new roller disco!” she screamed and from the crowd one could hear the cheering sound of Vaggi

Ohh wasn't that just sweet?

The rest of the sinners acted more confused to the news, and Charlie had to begin a power point presentation on what exactly were roller discos. In the meantime he saw the fluttering wings of Emily as she was enthusiastically discussing the presentation with Cherry, Niffty and Baxter. He beamed at the sight and appeared with his shadows next to her, much to the confusion of Cherry Bomb.

“What is the fucker doing here?” she asked pointing at Alastor, which almost made him annoyed, as she ruined his intent to surprise Emily with his presence, but when he saw her smile his anger was gone

“I'm just merely here to enjoy the show” he deadpanned to which the angel just laughed softly, but before she could have said anything, all of the guest begun to go towards to the rollerskating ring, at the urges of Charlie and Vaggi

“Hey guys, do you want to take part?” asked the blonde from the group, as Vaggi and Husk appeared behind her, but then her face scrunched up “Wait, where is my dad?” she asked as she looked around to which her girlfriend just came up next to her

“Ohh yeah, forgot to tell you, he is at the heaven embassy now, left this morning” she said and Charlie was just about to lose it before Vaggi continued “He said it's to talk with your mom before she comes back”

“Ohh” said the blonde and she almost looked pitiful, almost.

“Come now dear Charlie, isn't it a good sign?” he said and the group had just turned to him with more confusion

“You are right, it's a good sign” she said with a better mood, while he saw Emily smiling at him

Ohh yeah, there was another thing he had to do

“Glad to hear, now Husker dear old friend, I have some matter with you” he said as he turned to the already annoyed cat demon

“What shit do you want to put on my schedule again?” he snapped at the radio demon, but Alastor just grinned

“Ohh just a small thing” he said and looked into Emily's phenomenal eyes, filled with adoration, and smirked before he did the necessary hand move to free Husk's soul

For a moment Husk did not seem to realize it at first, but then his hands went up to his neck slowly, and his fingers were looking for the missing chains

“What the fuck?” his tone was astonished
After that the whole group went into a frenzy, as everyone freaked out and buried him with unending questions in a crazy manner

“What is your trick with this one?” demanded Husk the answer aggressively. It almost annoyed him

Emily stepped in front of him

“Hey, I think one question at a time” she said as she went next to him to help mediate the situation, and everyone went dead silent

“Wonderful idea my dear, to answer your question Husk, there is no trick to this, you are free. I don't have anymore use for you” he said with a snide tone. The cat demon wanted to argue with him some more though

“You didn't even want to set me free when I almost died 30 years ago” he growled and Alastor just shrugged

“You could say that I've been convinced it would be the best course of action” he said and the look of shock in the group's eyes was priceless, he had to grin

“Who could ever convince you to do that?” asked Vaggi but before he could answer he saw the realization in Charlie's eyes

“Oh my god!!!” she screamed “Alastor are you together with Emily??!!” she went up to them “Emily did you tell him to free Husk??” Charlie was wheezing at that point and her girlfriend had to come to try to calm her down, while the whole group broke into another chaos

“What the hell Alastor?” snarled Vaggi at him

“What is fucking up with today?” grumbled Husk as he was holding his head

“Wait, you two are fucking, that is fucking awesome” said Cherry with a giant smile

“Interesting. I could use this for my research paper” beamed Baxter

“Uhh Romance for Alastor, funn” said Niffty as she went went up to Emily, climbed her against her will and smelled her “Ohh they definitely did the doo” she cackled while Emily just looked at him with a `please help me` look

He snickered at it

“Now dear Niffty, that is not a proper way to behave” he said as he gently picked her up from Emily and put her back on the ground next to Baxter

“Charlie are you okay?” asked Emily while she leaned down next to Charlie

“Yes! Totally fine! I knew it!!” she said with still a wheezing tone but at least she wasn't hyperventilating anymore”I knew there was something! I just didn't know that you guys have already...” she stopped for a moment and looked both of them over before she remembered Niffty`s statement “Wait, you guys already had sex?” she gasped and Cherry just started to laugh behind them

“Yes Em, tell us how he is, I can't imagine him going down and dirty. Did he at least eat you out before?” she leaned into the face of the angel and Emily blushed in embarrassment

“Well.. I...” she tried to talk but no words came out as everyone from the hotel was starring at her “What...” she tried again before she looked at him with desperation

He sighed, went next to her, pulled her up and put his arm on her waist

“We won't answer any obscene questions” he declared “Now Charlie, don't you have a skater program with the guests? Husker, aren't you at least joyful you are free?”

The whole group seemed to have forgotten it for a second what started this whole mess

“Oh my god! I am free!” said Husk and he actually jumped up in bliss “Thank you Emily” he went up to her and held her hands with a smile rarely seen on him “I don't know how you did it, but thank you!” he was almost crying
Emily just smiled back at him

“I just wanted to see you happy, and that you'd get the opportunity to get redeemed” she said and Husk just hugged her with actual tears at that point, continuously saying thank you

Alastor let her go so that she could properly talk with the rest of the group when Charlie approached him, she looked much more calm than before

“Hey!” she said with a delighted grin “I'm so happy for you guys!” she said and he actually gave her a real smile

“That is kind of you” he replied

The day went by after that in a blur. Emily had to help with the skater program while he had his own work to do, but he did intent to seek her out for a bit after lunch break when he saw her flutter down on the hall.

Alastor was just about to call out to her when he heard her say

“Hey Abel! How have you been doing?” she beamed and he hid in the shadows listening

“Hi Emily, good good, just delivering letters” he signaled to the bag in front of him “Rachel is off today, so I had to take over” he smiled and Alastor felt an inkling feeling that he'd like to get rid of that pesky thing

“Yeah, sorry, it was my duty before” she smiled kindly at him which made him even more annoyed

“No worries, you are doing something important here too. How is hell by the way?” he asked as he rummaged through the letters and gave her one, much to her surprise “Sera is missing you a lot” he said and she just sighed at that

Emily

She was happy to see Abel, a little piece of heaven

“Hell is great!” she said and as he looked at her quizzically, she continued “I know it's hell, but I'm truly enjoying myself here. Just today we opened up a roller disco!” she squealed in excitement. To that he had to nod too “I do miss Sera, and you guys though...” she sighed again, and he just gave her an empathetic look

“You know, you can come back anytime” he said and she smiled at the thought of it. Going back would be like getting back to her old life...

But she had something in hell that nobody had in heaven

She wanted to help the souls more than anything, she enjoyed her time with the hotel crew, and she felt like she was fitting right in with the rest of them...

There was also Alastor

He truly blew her word away, with everything that had happened between them. She did not expect anything of that caliber, yet now she was standing there, still a bit sore from last night, and thinking of his hand on her made her shiver. The way he looked at her, how he kissed her and how he talked to her made her not want to leave his side. She wanted to spend every free minute of her day with him, last night even just the quite moments where they were just talking and absent mindedly stroking each other's skins also made her feel warm inside.

She couldn't put it into words yet, but she felt within the matter of her being that something big was going to happen with them. So she did not worry too much about their soul contract, or about anything then.

But soon she'd have to return to heaven, for at least a report if not for more, so she should begin scheduling it

Then an idea came to her mind

“Abel, do you think you can relay a message to Sera?” she asked

“Sure, I don't see why not, here's a blank sheet” he got a sheet and a pen out of the thin air, heaven miracles as they called it “I'll wait until you're done” he gave it to her with a gentle smile

“Thank you Abel!” she cheered and begun writing on the wall

Dear Sera,

I haven't read your letter yet, Abel is standing next to me until I finish this letter to you.

I want to tell you that I am loving my time in hell, and I wish to work here for the foreseeable future, but there was one issue that is truly saddening me. The state of soul contracts. So many poor souls have sold their own souls to the overlords, and now they not only can't redeem themselves, because their souls belong to someone else, but they also are forced to do horrific things due to that.

As representatives of heaven, we shouldn't accept that.

I'd like to have an appointment with you and the rest of heaven council about the possibility of allowing souls redemption even if they have sold their souls.

Sera, the souls who went so far are the most in need of redemption, please, this is a matter that is heavy on my heart, and I hope we can find a solution for it

Thank you to my loving sister,
Emily

She finished, folded the paper in half and gave it to Abel.

“Thank you Abel again.” she smiled and started to wave bye

“No worries Emily, `till next time” he waved back with an equal smile

“Yes, ohh and don't take what Lute says to the heart”

“Yeah, that's easier said than done, some of the stuff she says makes my tummy heart just thinking about”

She laughed at it

“It'll get better.” she beamed then remembered to look at her watch “I`m sorry Abel, I have to run, we have a community program with the guests. Bye” she waved again and flew away, not noticing for a moment that a shadow was following her.

When she turned a corner, she noticed a storage room that was weirdly open and a broom was on the ground

Huh? It probably fell out, let me fix this

As she picked up the wooden handle of the broom and walked into the storage closet to put it back she heard the door loudly closing behind her

“What?” she looked back only to see Alastor behind her with his usual wide smile “Ohh hi, did you close the door?” she asked curiously, as she looked at the door again, seeing a little shadow holding the handle with force

“Thank you for noticing my dear, yes I did close it” he said as he leaned down with his grin

“Umm okay, why?” she asked with curiosity

“Well you see, I've been meaning to talk with you about today morning, but just as I thought I could finally catch you, you were busy” he said and now she heard a drop of anger in his tone

“Wait, you mean with Abel?” he just hummed at her question “Yeah, I asked him to deliver an important letter to my sister. It's about a redemption problem” she said and she saw that his face was still frozen in grin

“That is very noble of you” his tone was dipping with irony

Why was he acting so weird? And why did he close the door behind them?
Wait

Was he jealous?

But he knows that she was not with anyone before...

It begun to annoy her a bit until an idea popped into her head

She stepped closer to him and reached up to run her finger around hi jaw, while she smirked

“Yes, I'm very noble, would you like to reward me?” she asked as she got on her tip toes, the action made him confused for a second before his stare changed

“How would you like to be rewarded?” he brushed his clawed fingers through her hair, it made her shiver

“Hmm..” she tilted her head “Maybe I'd like for you to not get jealous if I talk with a friend” she replied with raised tone and her answer struck him, but he quickly recovered and put his other hand on her waist

“We can arrange that” he cupped her face gently “But for now I'm a bit possessive” he confessed and the tone of his voice turned her on but she really wanted to keep a clean head

“I understand” her finger gently went into his hair “But I'd still like to talk with my friends, you also talk with other girls from the hotel” to this he just nodded

“Yes, that's also true...” he took hold of her hand in his hair and brought it to his lips “Please accept my apologies” he kissed her hand but his eyes remained on her, and as his warm hand held hers, all she could think about was how his eyes looked similarly devouring when he was licking her...

She felt her face heat up

“No worries!” she motioned with her free arm “Now sorry, I have to go, Charlie is waiting for me” she got around him and was just about to reach for the door handle, when she was pulled back

“That won't do” he whispered “I need to learn my proper lesson” he bent down and kissed her deeply before she could've said anything

She melted instantly into the kiss, and before she knew it, she was pushed to the door. She whined into the kiss but that seemed to only rile him up more as he hastily begun to lift her skirt up while their kiss deepened. Her hands were in his hair and she unknowingly petted his ear which caused a fast growl from him into the kiss

Ohh was he sensitive there?

She put both hands up and begun massaging the little deer ears on him, and that caused bigger and hastier reactions out of him

Her skirt was fully lifted, her underwear pulled down and as he touched at her soaked pussy they both heard footsteps

“So anyways, do ya know what will ya do now?” came the voice of Cherry from very close and they both froze

“All I know is that I'm not working in that fucking bar anymore” came the laugh of Husk from right next to the door

She was scared they'd be found out soon, so she wanted to slowly pull up her underwear from around her ankle, but just then Alastor`s hand continued to insert into her. Emily had to put her hand on her mouth just to muffle the moan that escaped her lips

“Yeah, I don't know which fucker would have to take over” laughed the cyclops “Maybe the new lovebirds could do it” she cackled and the cat demon joined in

“That'd be something, `I ordered a martini, why did I get nothing? Were you too busy eyefucking each other?`” they both begun laughing, but as it all went down Alastor slowly pushed his erection inside of her and kissed her as he pushed her to the door.

“Do ya think they're done it?” asked Cherry while Alastor begun to fuck her

“Heck if I know, till now I though he was only getting off on torturing” mused Husk, and Emily was trying hard not to give out any noise, but she could only hold on to his shoulders and waist, as he picked her up into the air and he continued to dictate a fast pace while he was leaving little bites on her neck, and the shadow was playing with her feathers

Her voice hitched

“That could be a kink” said Cherry, and Emily almost breathed a sigh of relief, as according to the sounds, they begun to walk past them finally

Now that she did not need to be on edge of being busted she finally let herself enjoy it

“Hey...” she breathed out into his hair, he just hummed “They could have heard us...” she said but then whined again as he begun to rub on her clitoris with his shadow

“I know of the danger” he bit slightly into her earlobe “But I simply cannot seem to resist you” he whispered into her ear, and fastened up the pace even more.

His confession put her on the edge and she came fast after that, he finished soon as well.

They were both gasping for air while still holding onto on another in the little dark room

Emily felt her whole face heated up and she just pulled him down by his collars for a longing kiss

They stood like that for a little while until both of their breathing calmed down

But then she hastily begun to make herself proper

“Oh my gosh, I'm gonna be late” she said as she put on her underwear rapidly

“You won't” he said and she stopped in her tracks to stare up at him

“What? Charlie was waiting for me” she explained but he just cleaned his monocle with a knowing smile, already looking pristine as always

“I've already assisted Charlie with her problem, I was looking for you because of that” he answered and she visibly calmed down

She sighed in relief and readied herself as well

After that they both left the storage room with mischievous smiles

The rest of the day went by, and before she knew it, she was down to her last assignment, check on a female resident in her room.

She raised an eyebrow at it

They usually did not do programs in the guests rooms but maybe this was special

“Hey Emily, are you going to room 117?” asked Charlie from next to her

“Yes actually” she smiled back at the blonde

“Super, I need to go there too” she said with a sweet smile but something about her tone was off. Emily's first thought was that she was lying, but why would Charlie lie about that?

She did not have much time to mule on it, because they had begun their way towards the elevator

“So how do you find it here?” asked Charlie as she pressed the button “Sorry, dumb question” she said and smiled awkwardly at her

“I love it here, even outside of Alastor” Emily just giggled at it and they went into the coming Elevator

“I'm glad to hear that” said Charlie, but why did she look so uncomfortable? ”Anyways, we are here” she said as they got out and she pointed at the door right next to the elevator

Emily just nodded and walked ahead, but as she approached the room, something was weird again

Why was the door slightly open? And why was it dark inside?

She curiously took hold of the handle and opened it, but before she could've seen anything of what was inside, Charlie pushed her in

She almost stumbled over her own feet, and she wanted to turn back and ask Charlie on why did she push her in, when she looked around, her words got stuck in her mouth

The room was void of any furniture, and there were only candles lit in a circle on the floor in front of her.

In the middle of the circle was Cherry with a shit eating grin, while nearby was Niffty with the same maniacal smile and Vaggi with an annoyed expression. For a moment Emily thought that she stumbled into a seams or something.

“Umm Charlie?” she looked back at the blonde “What is this?” she signaled all around the room

“I'm really sorry Emily for pushing you” came up Charlie with an apologetic look

“Don't need to make a drama of it” waved her hand Cherry “Come Em, sit down” she pointed at the floor next to her, outside of the ring of candles

“Okay, but please can you tell me what is this?” she asked as she and Charlie both sat down “Why do you have candles here?”

“Ohh, I just thought for dramatic effect” said Cherry with the same grin “But we came here because we all want to know the most important fuckery here, did you and Alastor fuck?”
Emily thought for a moment that she misheard her, then it all downed on her

The girls were soo curious that they organized this, so they could ask her. It was so funny of them, and they even sat up the candles

Emily just started to laugh and decided to stay honest, but to also save the dignity of her and Alastor`s private life

“Yes” she beamed and the rest of the girls all let out a collective whoo. All except Vaggi

“And how does he do it?” asked Charlie, the question shocked her

“What do you mean?” Emily replied

“Does he turn into an animal or some shadowy shit?” asked Cherry again, while Niffty just giggled at something

“No, he's just Alastor” she said and Vaggi came closer to her

“Hey, we are just really worried about you, that guy is no joke, and we don't even know exactly how it happened” said Vaggi

“Well he kissed me” she squealed, it actually felt nice to tell, and all the girls leaned in “And after that it kind of went further” she blushed just thinking about the memory of it

“Who would have known that that creepy weirdo had so much rizz” said Cherry

“I thought there would be something between you two...” mused Charlie

“I could tell that Alastor was into you” interjected Niffty, and all of them looked at the little maid “His shadows were at unrest around you” said the maid with a grin

“Really? I did not see” said the seraph

“That's cool and all, but we also need to know how far did ya guys go” said Cherry

“Uhh Cherry, I don't want to imagine Alastor having sex” said the fallen angel with a annoyed face

“Umm, why do you need to know that?” Emily asked them in her embarrassment

“Dummy, it's in case ya need advice on, so did he go down on ya? And ya on him?” leaned the cyclops closer and she felt her face heating up at the questions

“Yeah...”

“And was he able to make ya come? Did ya also make him? How much?”

The questions were making her dizzy and she just starred down at the floor

“Hey Cherry, I think this looks like an interrogation” said Charlie as she put a reassuring hand on Emily's shoulder “Don't get me wrong, I do want to know, but maybe we should just talk normally, you know, less creepy candle shit” she said and Cherry just huffed in annoyance and blew out the candles, while Niffty turned on the light.

“Thanks” said Emily “And yes, we did everything you asked” to this Cherry just gave a high five to Charlie

“Wow, I honestly did not expect that” smiled Charlie, while Vaggie sat next to her and cuddled up at her back

“Yeah, did ya guys do anything kinky?“ came Cherry`s next question, to which Emily just raised an eyebrow

“I'm not sure what would be one“ she started to laugh awkwardly and rubbed her head, while the other girl war starring at he
“Ohh there are a bunch, do you need a crash course? I bet that fucker is into some BDSM“ said Cherry with a grin, and Emily was not sure what to say about it. She had some ideas about some kinks, but she also did not want to force anything that would not come naturally to them. But because the Cherry seemed so eager to tell her all about it, she thought that at least she could hear her out

“Sure, tell me“ she said and all her words seemed to have been oil to the fire, since the Cherry went on to talk about every single kink she could think of.

“...and then there is the mouth gag with that one“ smirked Cherry while Emily had already lost the beginning of what she was saying

“Hey Cherry, I think that is enough for her“ said Vaggi as she pointed at Emily. The cyclops just huffed with folded arms

“Okay, but at least we need to figure out of they are just fuckin or anything more“ declared Cherry with a pointed look towards Emily

“Yeah, I actually wanted to know about it“ said Charlie as well, and she put a gentle hand on Emily's arm “Can I tell them about your dating thing“ she asked

Emily did not realize how reassuring Charlie was, that she did not tell the others about her lack of relationships, so the angel just smiled at her

“Yes, you guys see...I...I have never been into anyone before“ she said, feeling her face heating up

“What? Really?“ asked Vaggi, while Cherry and Niffty just listened

“Uhum...I just did not understand before, Alastor is the same as me...“

“So ya guys were virgins and shit before?“ asked Cherry with an open mouth shock. Emily just nodded “Woww...that's actuall` so fuckin romantic“ grinned Cherry, and Emily let out a little squeal. It felt so nice to tell them, and also to share in her excitement for her thing with Alastor

“Thanks! I was not sure if he liked me or not in the beginning...okay actually until he kissed me I was in the dark” she beamed and the other girls just started to laugh

“Well yeah, he's Alastor, weird guy” said Vaggi

“But he really was interested” said Charlie “I could tell, he was so eager to take her to cannibal town” giggled the blonde

“I could also tell, Alastor`s shadow was unruly since she saved him” interjected Niffty, to Emily's surprise

“Really?” she asked with enthusiasm to which all the girls begun laughing again

Emily had a great time with them, just talking about girly stuff, relationships, loves and even a little bit about sex. She wasn't fully comfortable on discussing more details, but it felt like she had gotten closer to them.

She was still laughing when she returned to her room, and took a bubble bath with purple bubbles floating around her.

When she got out and was just drying her hair, she noticed a little red note on her bed. She run to open it

Dear Emily

Tomorrow at precisely 6 o'clock I would be utterly delighted if you would join me for breakfast. Please do just bring your lovely self, as I've already prepared an assortment of delicacies for you, none dreadful, I promise. I'd just like, selfishly, to see you smile again, it has become a favorite new fixation.

Until then, good night my dear
Alastor

Emily let out a little scream as she read that, then reread it. How in heavens did she manage to find such a caring boyfriend?
She still was smiling as she fell a sleep

The morning could not have come faster, and she was actually there half hour earlier then expected, because she simply could not sit still

As he opened the door she lunged forward and kissed him promptly, and he returned with similar excitement

As their kiss deepened she pushed him into the room, and the door slammed loudly behind them. Emily forgot about the breakfast all together, and just wanted to feel his exploring hand on her.

As his hand ravaged her, she was helping him take his jacket off, while he broke the kiss to move down on her neck. Her breath hitched, as he begun to tease her town there, and she unknowingly led out a whine

“There's that sweet little sound again..I do enjoy causing those” he whispered into her ear as he licked it, and she had to hold on his shoulders

When his hand moved away from her pussy she whined again in a more annoyed tone

“Please don't stop” she said with bated breath, he just smirked

“I do enjoy a good tease” he run his claw on her skin, the action edging her , and she just let out a huff before begging to touch his erect penis through the pants. He just grinned at her with a knowing look “My dear, you'd never use that action against me” he mused as he got out of her hold and kneeled down in front of her, lifting her nightgown up, and as he leaned ahead and smirked, he started to lick her adoringly.

She gasped as his tongue entered her, and without noticing it, she buried her hands in his hair, her slow moans filling the room

“You look absolutely enchanting when you lose yourself” he said as he took a break from licking her and inserted two digits in.

She whined and came undone with his ministrations, he stood up to hold her as she lost control and came with his fingers and thump teasing her
He kissed her again as she was shivering from the orgasm, and he smiled into the kiss

As they parted he looked deep into her eyes

“You've been occupying my thoughts all night” he said and that was the encouragement that she needed, because she pulled him down by the collar for another passionate kiss. He groaned into it.

She enjoyed it so much to get reactions like that out of him, so she was the one to kneel down now, unzip his trousers, let his black cock out, and start to suck him. He was hard, and too big for her mouth, but she was doing everything she thought he might like, following his reactions to her movements

“Wait my dear” with his hands in her hair, he stopped her gently. “I do want to try something else” he said as he slowly pulled out from between her lips “get on your fours” he went down as well as she adjusted to that position. He motioned for her to go on the carpet near her, and she followed.

When he was behind her, his erection poking at her butt, he just said as he entered her

“What a dangerous thing you are for my self control”

His voice was so seductive for her, as it hitched with an old radio sound when he was fully inside her. He grabbed at her butt, and she let out another whine. He started to move slowly, but she just wanted more

So she took matters into her own hand, and begun to move on her own, going back and forth, while his dick was getting even harder on her.

“My my...and I thought you were innocent” he grabbed her left thigh, and lifted it up, letting him go even deeper inside of her. She moaned at the friction “Do move for me then” he said in a low tone, and she took it as command and was fucking herself on him, while his grunts were becoming more erratic. He held her thigh stronger “you have no idea what you do to me” he said in between groans.

“But I do. You do the same to me” she said it back with heavy breaths

He leaned down, and held her neck gently, as he turned her face to him

“You are absolutely enchanting as-” he was cut off with a sudden movement of hers “you do exactly what I wish for” he continued, and bit her earlobe, the action igniting a fire inside of her, and before she could react, he begun to move faster then before, the action making her left needing even more of him. So she took his thumb from her throat, and started to suck and bite on it.

He bit down on her lower neck

She tightened around him, and he whined louder at that as he was twitching inside of her, his shadow slowly rising to tease her clitoris

She was at the edge of orgasm, but in the last second he stopped and she let out a frustrated sigh

“My dear...” his voice dropped “please do hold out” he said as his movements fastened even more, and she cried out. He was making her feel so much, that all she wanted to do was feel him come inside of her, so she squeezed on him again. His reactions were priceless to her, and before she knew both of them were pushed over the edge.

She came with his thumb still between her lips, and he soon followed with his last erratic thrusts.

She so loved how he was holding her, with the need in his hands, and the bite on her neck, was painful and lustful all the same to her.

His bite slowly turned into little kisses, as he pulled out, she felt his cum pour down on her legs

“My dear, I really thought we ought to have breakfast only” he mused behind her, and she smiled at it

“Sorry, I just missed you” she said as she took the offered tissues to clean up between her thighs.
“Well, how could have I resisted you” he said, his tone low with want, and she almost felt the need to ask for round two, but her stomach growled

She let out a nervous laugh

“I'm hungry” she said and he nodded and helped her get up from the floor.

The table he lead her to was filled with still steaming fried eggs, crunchy bacon, toasts, fruits salad, and grilled veggies. Her mouth watered, but she did want to protest against the bacon, but he could very well have read her mind, because he said

“Don't fret, the bacon is made from turkey”

“Really?” she beamed and sat down to make herself a sandwich with everything there, while he just sat across from her with a satisfied look

“Coffee?” he asked with a lifted kettle, and she just nodded

“Do we have milk and sugar?” she asked, looking around the table

“Of course, though in my humble opinion, that would not make it coffee anymore” he mocked but still gave her the milk and sugar, she just giggled with a wave

As they were eating, she hummed at the amazing tastes that he prepared, while he watched her with a bemused expression, the slow jazz still playing in the room

A question came to her mind

“Please can you tell me about your job on earth?”

He seemed stunned at first

“Well of course, but what is it that interests you in it?”

“Just everything! I want to know how it was for you” she said and reached out to hold his hand on the table
He held her hand and squeezed it

“Very well, I used to work as a radio host, mostly doing the afternoon show. Unlike the morning hosts, I was mostly deciding on music, doing novel reads and reading out fan mail” he said with nostalgia in his tone

“Uhh novels! What kinds did you read?” she asked in a raised tone

“Mostly classical novels, although, I was mostly assigned romance ones. The channel decided on that after all the enthusiastic fan mail from women reached the them”

“Huhh?? You were popular?” she was almost disappointed

“My dear, don't be territorial, I was not interested in meeting any of them” he caressed her cheek “Besides, they all thought I was a white fella, and the channel intended to keep it that way” to this she begun to worry

“Did they think you were white?”

“Yes my dear, they hired me because of it, I was the only on there. They chose me because my voice could pass for white” he said with dipping anger, she squeezed back his hand, an action that calmed him “Anyways, I was mostly assigned to read romance, and romantic poetry, I did enjoy some of it, but for the most part, my biggest enjoyment was the music.” he said and smiled at her “The best time for jazz was then”

She smiled back

“I do like it too” she leaned back to relax into the song “I'd like to hear more about your days from back then” she smiled at him warmly, as she took a sip of her coffee

“Well, you also saw some at Rosie's” he said and she was stunned at first, then the memory of it came back

“Right. I remember” she said with growing embarrassment

“I do too. The first time I've been desired by an angel was when I was killing and hiding bodies, hilarious” he snickered and she hid her face in her palm

She was embarrassed not only by that, but by the fact that he could read her so easily

“Don't fret my dear, it's all in good spirit, it was flattering” he said as he reached over the table and gently pulled her right hand away from her face, looking into her eyes.

After a few minutes she sufficiently calmed down, and she wanted to pick up their topic, but she had other questions

“Hey, by the way, why were you tied up during the Vox thing?” she asked and his face twisted for a moment

“Ohh that, I was just making use of some deals” he said but she could hear the annoyance in his tone

“Yes, I do remember that, you had a deal with Charlie, then, and Vox I think, but why were you doing it?”

He sighed and reached out to hold her hand again

“It's an old tale now, but please do not give it away.” she just nodded nervously “My soul was also sold, and I wanted to get it back, that was the backdoor for it” he said and she almost forgot to breath

“Your soul...you also sold it?” he hummed as an answer “To whom?”

“Rosie, before I died” her mouth fell open

“Rosie?” he squeezed her hand “Oh my gosh...I thought she was so nice...” she lamented and he just grinned at it

“Well, that's to proof that you can't trust first impressions here my dear” he mused as he took a sip from his coffee, he was long ago finished with his breakfast

“Yes...so many surprises here...” she agreed and sipped her coffee as well. “I wonder what would you find surprising about heaven...”

“I am curious about it, so do tell me anything you'd like to share” he smiled and she just sighed

“I miss it sometimes, but heaven is soo different...”

“Yes, well, you don't need to say anything. I know you may have developed some fear” he said and she could only agree with him

It was so difficult to define it, because on one end, she missed her friends and family, but on the other end, her life was so controlled, she had to work for everyone else`s happiness, she did not get that much time off, and until she met Charlie, she never questioned it.

Heaven was supposed to be heaven, so why did hell feel more heavenly to her? Was it Alastor?

She looked over and at him, and the feelings of butterflies in her stomach ambushed her. He was looking so handsome, how his hair was still a tiny bit messy, how his eyes were studying her with calm understanding, and how his warm hand was holding hers.

She was sure that if God would have shown her a photo of him before they met, telling her that she'll like him so much, she would have looked at him quizzically, yet now, now that she had seen so many sides of him, she was only sure with every minute that God may have created him for her.

But...

No matter how strong those feelings were, he was still not the only reason she enjoyed hell so much. It was the hotel itself, the new friends she made, the level of closeness she had with them...In heaven she was friends with Abel and Saint Peter, and now Ser Pentious, but they also had to work so much, she wished she could bring them here and they could all be happy...But would they even like it here?

Ser Pentious probably yes, but Abel and Saint Peter? They probably still enjoyed heaven more...
Maybe just visiting would suffice for her for now.

And Sera...

She loved her sister, so dearly, but at the same time she wasn't sure if Sera would allow her to stay in hell for forever...

After that breakfast her days blurred together with work, laughter with the girls and with time spent every night with Alastor

She enjoyed being with him so much, even when they were just in bed eating and talking. He was teaching her how to play poker, but she was terrible in keeping a straight face

It had been two weeks since they have gotten together, and since then, she had seen so many sides of him.

But she could guess that what she was about to see would have to be something new.

The Roller skate they built was having a disco night, and Emily was ecstatic, as well as the guests and the hotel crew.

Charlie was running around all day in a sparkling suit and Vaggi was matching her with her dress. Emily was so excited to wear her own dress as well, but hers looked more akin to ice skating dresses, with it's blue sparkles, and she was specially happy that the underskirt that peaked out from underneath was red, like Alastor`s suit.

But, he was currently being an annoyance with not wanting to match her, and she was pouting about it.

When the ring opened, and everyone went on it with their attires moving to the sound of music, all she could think of was that she wanted to impress him so much, that he'd still come to skate with her.

Alastor

He was currently watching the sinners of the hotel try and fail miserably to stay on their feet, while the songs haven't even begun to play yet.

He continually said no to Emily's requests in skating with her, but he had to admit, that she did look nice in that number she was wearing.

He was just fine in observing everything, standing on the side, when Husker approached him

“Got a minute?” he asked and even though the grin remained on Alastor`s face, he was quite curious about what the cat demon wanted to talk about. Ever since he freed him, they haven't interacted much.

“But of course dear old friend. To what do I owe your company now?” he asked in a mocking tone

“Cut the crap” interjected Husk with irritation on his face “Just wanted to let you know, that I haven't told anyone about your deal with her” he pointed at Emily, the angel was talking cheerily with Cherry

“Ohh, that is quite nice of you” he was fully prepared for the time in case Husk does run his mouth, but he was surprised himself that it did not happen

“Just so you know, it wasn't because of you” Husk folded his arms in anger

“I didn't dare dream that it was me” he grinned further “I assume it was the little angel”

“Damn right.” he hissed

“So then you trust me now?” he pretended to look at his staff while still kept an eye on him

Husk just let out a tired sigh

“I'd be a damn fool if I did” he said as he untangled his hands “But I do trust her, and I think she can influence you” Husk looked into the direction of Emily
“Do you really believe, old friend, that I've been tamed?” he was almost offended by it

Husk sighed again

“All I know is that you freed me, because she asked you” he said with a little smile

“Hmmm...” Alastor was not sure if he liked where this conversation was going “And what do you plan to do with your freedom? Back to the casinos?”

“No” said Husk with determination in his eyes “I'll get redeemed”

“Best of luck on your endeavors” Alastor was mocking again “I wouldn't have predicted that Emily has such an effect on you as well”

“She freed me, I want to do what it takes to get myself and Angel out of this shit hole”

“Quite noble of you. I wouldn't have imagined you being so romantic” he said but before even the last syllable left his lips, he noticed Emily skating by with her dress catching the light of the disco ball in the darkness. She almost looked majestic with her wings flowing in the air behind her, yet as she wanted to turn around she lost her balance and almost fell over, her hand catching the side of the ring to hold onto to, while her legs were rolling out in two separate directions

Alastor begun to laugh

She looked positively adorable as she tried to skate, her face scrunched up in concentration, yet she had no balance

“The pot calling the kettle” murmured Husk under his whiskers, and it was at the tongue of Alastor to reply back something snarky, but then Emily let go and tried to skate again. And of course, she was falling again, but before she would have fallen, he sent there his shadow to catch her.

The look of shock and relief on her face made him sigh once, before he begun to walk towards her.

Emily

She saw how Alastor was coming in her direction and her smile spread on her face.

“Hi” she wanted to wave but she still held onto the shadow for dear life

“Darling, I'm afraid you'll not learn to skate like this, come now, hold my hands” he took over her hands from the shadow, and her breath hitched for a moment. Holding him felt like a dream “Now as I walk try to remain on foot” he begun to walk backwards and at the beginning she struggled, but then after a couple of tries, she was actually able to stay on balanced, as long as he was holding her hands.

She still smiled as she looked into his red eyes, and all she could think of when she saw the warmth in them directed at her, was how truly happy she was, so happy that she could burst.

Later in the evening she took off the roller skates, and went over to the snack table, when she noticed Niffty coming her way

“Angel lady, a letter for you” said the maid as she handed her an ornamented letter.

“Thank you” she took it and opened it with berated breath

Dear Emily

I was so happy to hear from you. I've read your letter with care, and I'm pleased to tell you that I secured an appointment for you with the council, tomorrow at noon.

Please come and present your case then.

With love,
Sera

Emily was surprised how fast it worked to get her an appointment, yet at the same time she felt uneasy going back to heaven so suddenly, even if it was only a short visit.

But as she looked around she could tell, that the souls here needed that opportunity.

“My dearest, did you receive good news?” asked Alastor from behind, his presence making her jump

“Huhh, you scared me” she said and he let out a little laugh at it “Yes, tomorrow I have to go to heaven for a little bit” she said and a shadow went over his face for a moment

“Tomorrow?” he asked

“Yes, I have an appointment, I'll be back in the afternoon” her answer did not seam to lift his spirit, was he worried she wouldn't come back?

She put her hands on his shoulders

“I'll be back before you know it” she smiled and cupped his face

“Of course my dear, now do you wish to enjoy this splendid night?” he asked with his usual showbodyness, yet she knew him well enough to know, that he was not being entirely honest. She wanted to reassure him of their connection, that she wont just leave for heaven, so she leaned forward, and whispered into his ear

“Would you like to come to my room now?” she asked and she heard his breath hitch just a tiny bit

“My my...how could I imagine to refuse that, little dove?” he whispered back, his voice dark, twinkling on her skin

They sneaked away from the disco group and went to her room, no words exchanged between them.

She was holding his hand and the way he held hers, she could tell that something different would happen tonight.

As she opened the door, she did not have time to turn on the light, because he immediately captured her lips, and pushed her to the door frame, ravaging her.

Her hands insistently went up into his hair, and he deepened the kiss, while he held her body close to his.

When he broke the kiss, she stared into his eyes, and all she could see was the want in them, but he surprised her with his next move.

He let let her go and took a step back

“You really do look enchanting in that dress my dear” he said and she saw how his eyes went through her body in a hungry manner. “I'd like to see more, would you mind putting your wings away?” she did as he asked, and he took hold of her hand, gently pulled her inside, the door shutting aggressively behind them with the use of his shadow.

He let go of her hand and went to sit down on her bed, putting his staff next to the it, and looking at her expectantly.

Emily was not sure what he meant exactly, so she just stood there

“Can you put on some dress up shoes for me?” he asked and she realized that she was still wearing ballerina flats, she wanted to do what he asked for, so she made those shoes have higher heels, and the silk ribbons on the shoes extended to wrap around her ankles, securing her feet to it, while giving the look from the front as if she stood in her tip toes.
He hummed in appreciation.

“Please can you walk in the dress a bit, but can you make the skirt shorter?” he asked and she blushed golden before she did as he asked for, now the skirt barely covered butt. She did a twirl in them, and started to walk towards him, his eyes never leaving her

She did feel a little self conscious, but his smile was making her smile too.

She stepped in front of him, and he lifted his hand up and touched her thigh tenderly while he softly pulled her in closer, between his legs.

“Marvelous my dear” he said but all she could do was stare at his every little movement. He was so captivating to her. “Please turn around”

She did as he asked, and could feel it in her bare back his hot breath on her skin. And then he run his lips over her back, and she held her breath

His lips were at first just leaving light kisses, but then his teeth joined, and she felt the little sharpness of them, as they run over her delicate and sensitive skin.

She let out a little sound when his claw joined in

Due to her being an angel, he was not able to actually scar her skin, but she still felt the movement affecting her.

His wandering other hand went up from her thigh to her butt, and his touch was intoxicating to her, and she leaned into his hands eagerly.

He hummed in appreciation

“Would you be willing to do as I say?” he asked in that voice that caused goosebumps all over her

“Yes” she whispered back, and his hands cupped her with a bigger force.

“Then take off your underwear” he said and she did it so fast but he still kept her facing the other direction, she wanted to say something but before she could, she felt the chains materializing around her neck, and pulling her down to sit on his lap “Now spread your legs” his tone was so low, she did as he asked.

His hands came and started to touch her pussy, already wet from his ministrations.

“Aren't you eager?” he whispered into her ear from behind her and she shivered at it.

He inserted one finger and she let out a moan

“Eager, but not yet” he said and he licked over her throat passionately. “What should I do with you” he mused

“Please” she murmured back, and he begun to laugh

“No yet” he said and his finger moved once inside of her, leaving her left wanting.

He pulled the chain again and started to lace her arms together with that chain, restricting her.

“Please do let me know if it's too much” he said but all she could think about was his finger inside of her as it did another agonizing movement. His other hand came up at her neck, claws tracing the sensitive skin “Now, would you mind hearing the tale of my favorite victim?” she could only nod “Our tale begins at my first radio gala, and our victim is Frances, a man old enough to be my grandfather” his voice was laced with anger “He dared to spill his red wine on me” his finger moved in her once more, but it felt bigger then before “You see, it was my time to shine, and to secure a higher position, but now with spilled wine, it couldn't be helped” he said, his voice sounding ever so darker.

“Francis did it to sabotage me, because I rejected his advances” his finger moved once more, she was holding her breath “So I decided to give him what he wants” his voice sounded more demonic...

“I made him come with me to the bayou” his voice came from above her “You saw the scene, remember it” he said and she begun to think of the time she saw his human self kill a man with continuous stabbing, the maniacal smile on his face arousing her “Yes, you enjoyed it, didn't you?” his voice was just oil to the fire inside of her.

“Yes I stabbed him, and it was an indescribable feeling” he said and she finally looked back at him.

He looked demonic
His antlers grew so much that it was touching the walls around them, his body lengthened and his eyes were just two wells of red hell, while between his eyebrows a red x was. His grin was so wide, and red blood dripped down from it, the shadow laughing with him.

Her first instinct was to run, but this was still Alastor, a new side of him, but still Alastor, and she wanted to trust him.

His enlarged finger came out of her, and she felt something big between her legs, so she looked back down, and saw his penis, bigger then before, erect and black, waiting for her

Before she could have said anything, he lifted her up and aligned her to his erection, and begun to slowly enter, her breath hitched with each movement

She wasn't sure if he'd be too big for her, but as he was stretching her out, she felt that she reached her limit, at around the halfway point, so she looked up at him, into those demonic eyes

“Please, it's too big” she said and he leaned down to sniff at her hair

“Darling, here it's good” he said and stopped there, but begun small movements that made her moan “Now where were we? Ahh yes, murder” he said and his claw came up to her pussy and begun massaging it exactly how she liked it. “As I was stabbing him, he screamed, yet I did not indent to stop” he moved inside her again, her pussy dripping down on him “I was still stabbing when when he was already dead” she whined “All I could think of was the power I felt in me” he said and he went in deeper inside of her

It was too much for her

“Alastor” she looked back at him “I'm not sure” she said and as he looked down on her, the smile warmed up, she saw right with her eyes how he went back to his usual form, all be it the antlers remained extended, and pulled her face back to capture her lips with a kiss.

He felt not as giant anymore and she could take him fully, while his hands were more gentle then before
As he broke the kiss she saw that his eyes were not looking as scary anymore

“Apologies my dear” he said and lifted her up once to move her on him “I seemed to have forgotten how to behave with my lady” he said and the movements were faster than before, her insides tightening around him.

“After all, if this form scares you, you'll never have to see it again” he said with sensitive touches around her skin

“No” she starred back at him “I do want to see all your sides” she said with desire in her eyes. Yes, she wanted everything of him

“How irresistible” he mused and stood up, lifting her up in the process and carefully placing her on the bed, fully laid out on her stomach “Will you allow me to try this?” he asked and she just whispered

“Yes”

He went behind her, slowly inserted himself, and she felt as if she could lose her mind to it.

It felt so intense, she felt every single twitch of his inside, and he groaned behind her.

“I can't promise to prolong this” he said as he begun to move and she was crying into the pillows, while his hand was in her hair, dictating a fast pace
“I do enjoy when you take me so eagerly” he breathed behind her

“I want you” she said back in between whines, and that was all the encouragement he needed to fasten the pace even more.

With his movements reaching her so deep, and everything leading up to it, his claws still tenderly touching the sensitive skin on her neck, she came not long after, her scream muffled into the pillows.

“What a good girl” he whispered and she felt him twist inside once more before he came with hard thrusts as well.

She always loved when he came inside of her, she loved the desperation and need in which he held her so close and possessively

“You are mine” he said as he bit into her shoulder with the last thrusts

After that he freed her arms from the chain, and kissed her lovingly.

“You did well” he said and she cuddled up next to him, breathing in his scent, with a big grin on her face.

She got to know a new side of him, and all she could think of was how happy she was to be able to be with him.

Chapter Text

When Emily awoke, she was still cuddled up to Alastor, his hand mindlessly caressing the locks behind her, while he hummed a song she had heard before

It was so idyllic, she just wanted to get lost in the moment with him, but before she could fall back a sleep, her golden pigeon flew up, saying the automatic words

“It's 10 o'clock, you need to get up and go to heaven” she was almost annoyed at the little creature, yet with a sigh she untangled herself from him and sat up.

“Hey, I'm not sure when will I be back, but-” she looked back but he was moved from the bed, now was only sitting at her opened window frame and took long breaths between lifting the cigarette to his lips.

The smell of it surrounded her, and she almost started to cough.

She was not sure what was with him, but he seemed distant, as he starred out into the red morning of Pentagram city from her window with only his black pants on and the unwavering smile on his lips

“Is everything alright?” her tone was unsure and his ears perked up at that
“Of course my dear” he turned to face her with an unreadable glow “Why wouldn't it be?” his question was probably meant to be rhetorical, yet she reached out to take a hold of his hand

“I'm worried” to this he took one last inhale of his cigarette before he tossed it out of the window, squeezing her hand in the meantime

“All is well, little dove” he petted her hair gently “I guess I've gotten used to your presence” he mused and she leaned down to kiss him with desperation. She didn't want this, she wanted to convey how she felt for him...

As their kiss deepened her thoughts went further

How did she feel about him?

It was clear that she was fond of him...but...wasn't there more?

He broke the kiss and held her cheeks in his palms, and with a warm smile he kissed her forehead gently. That single gesture filled her heart with warmth and she blushed into the intimacy of it

What they had, felt like the most important thing to her.

“Now I do order you to get ready” his jokey tone was immediately lost as her eyes widened with the order he gave. He realized his mistake as well “I order you to ignore that” he said and the pull in her to break away and get ready was gone “Apologies my dear” he said but her heart still dropped at it.

He was still able to control her with a whim, and suddenly that felt different, she always knew since they have gotten together, but for some reason, it felt different this time.

But how could she even it out between them? He would have to sell his soul to her for that exchange, but is that even something he would be willing to do?

She went to get ready without any more words, but her thoughts were everywhere, just not on her upcoming trip to heaven. As she put on her usual dress, she felt him behind her as he slowly pulled her closer and rested his chin on her shoulder, his hands holding her stronger than before.

“Alastor...why are you scared I won't come back?” her voice was on the verge of crying yet she tried to remain composed

“I've just grown to be weary of heaven” he murmured into her hair and she took hold of his arms around her waist and chest. She sighed

“I'll be back before you know it” she tried with her cheery voice, yet his dreary attitude was rubbing off on her. Could she trust heaven? Was this a trap? What if she came clean to Sera? Would she ever be allowed to come back to hell?

These questions plagued her mind as they walked down to the hotel lobby in silence, his shadow closely shifting behind them

The portal for heaven was meant to open at about 11:30, in front of the hotel, but they were a bit early. Emily had to give up her personal portals when she agreed to her assignment to hell, so she was bound by schedules. The lobby was full, partially because it was a Saturday, so no activities were held, and the guests wanted to waste the time they had there.

She looked around and saw Vaggi in the bar, she had to take over, until they'd find someone else for it. She saw Charlie sitting at one of the bar stools, chatting away with her girlfriend with a big smile on her lips.

Looking further she saw Niffty and Baxter with a couple of dancing rats while both of them cackled at it. Emily did not always understand them, but since the rats were not actual animals, but a byproduct of hell, she did not feel too sad about it. They seemed happy, in their own way to her.

She looked further and saw Cherry just being on her phone, the bombs in her bag were spilling out. Emily remembered how Cherry told her, that Ser Pentious had sent her in his mail, his proclamation of his undying love, and even thought the girl wanted to pretend otherwise, the Seraph could tell that it touched her deeply.

She smiled at the memory of it before her eyes returned to the radio demon standing next to her.

His warm smile reminded her of how he had kissed her forehead just before, and the familiar warmth in her spread again.

Oh how much she loved when he smiled like that

Loved...?

Did she love him?

Was it love all along?

The realization hit her like a stone wall.

Was she really that dense? She thought back to the first time he made fun of her for being grossed out by cannibalism, of all the times he took care of her, of every touch and kiss between them. Of just last night, when he respected her boundaries and turned back to his usual self, of all the times that he asked her, if she was sure, when they were intimate. How her heart fluttered whenever she could see him, how his smile was making her want to fly every day and how his touch still took her breath away.

The memories rained down on her and she just felt stupid.

Of course it was love

It was love all along, before she could even put it into words.

She starred into his eyes, and it was on her tongue to say something, what exactly, her mind was not sure, when Husk came up to them.

“Alastor, can you deal with those? They have tried something with the guests” the cat demon pointed at the direction of the hallway up, he seemed rather irritated

The radio demon just sighed and took Emily's hand

“Apologies dear, duty calls” he bowed down a bit and kissed her hand which flustered her
“Really no worries” she bubbled, and saw how Husk left them with some more annoyed sounds “The portal will open soon, so I'll see you later” she said and he straightened up and let go of her hand. She knew that he didn't really like public displays of affection, so she intended to respect it, and just waved at him with an unsure smile.

He smiled once more at her before he disappeared into the shadows, and she let out a breath she didn't realized she was holding

She looked at the time in frenzy

She still had around 5 minutes, so she decided to get some fresh air and wait in front of the hotel.

If Emily wanted to be honest with herself, the realization that she was in love with him came at a bad time. She wanted to compose herself and focus on her plan to save even more souls from hell, yet all she could think about was his smile.

She wanted to squeal but then a terrible thought hit her

Did he actually love her?

The thought that he may not, terrified her, and she was on the verge of tears.

He was acting loving with her, but the fear seeped into her skin, and plagued her

She was so deep in thought that she did not realize someone calling her

“Hey, Sparkles” she heard the voice from behind her, the tone sounded more annoyed, he probably had to repeat it a couple of times.

When Emily turned she saw a tall sinner, dressed in a very provocative pink outfit, but she recognized him right away

“Angel Dust?” she was shocked, her mouth was open

“Yeah, look I know we hardly know one another, but please I need your help” he took hold of her hand “I escaped, but Val is keeping Vivienne, please you gotta help” he begun to drag her towards the city

“Wait” she tried to stop “Let's get everyone at the hotel” she motioned for the door nearby but Angel just shook his head

“No, he said that they are prepared for them, you are the only one who could be powerful enough, and unexpected enough, please we don't have much time” he begun to drag her again, and Emily did not fight it anymore.

The portal to heaven must have opened by then, but she could not do much about it. Her heart sunk for anyone who was under those Vees, and she needed to help them, no matter what.

As they hastily went over the streets, she begun to recite in her head some heavenly spells to be able to stand a chance against them.

Her mind was running on adrenaline, as they climbed into the V tower from the back, and Angel was guiding her towards a room from where they only heard horrible screams.

Emily wanted to rush, but as they have gotten closer, the light fully left them, and when she wanted to ask Angel on where to go, he let her hand go.

She was so disoriented in the darkness, she was calling out to Angel, yet no reply came,and she didn't know where the walls begun, or where the other sinners where. Suddenly she was pushed right into a wall, her head punting on it, and she decided to try to summon her glowing bubbles for light, but somehow she felt more tired than before.

There was only a little spark of bubble that came out from her fingers, and her hands begun to tremble as she concentrated, with no avail

Suddenly a familiar laughter could be heard

“I'm sorry little angel, but that won't help” the voice was familiar too, and as the lights went on, she came face to face with Vox`s grinning face in the screen

Her instinct was to run away from him. The last time they met, he tied her up to a chair, and he almost killed half of hell. She still remembered how the weapon burned her wing to crisp, yet she also had to realize, she was inside a glass cube, which was probably sucking the heavenly power away from her.

She looked around the room frantically through the glass and saw Angel in the corner, making himself look as small as possible, while he held head in his hands.

He seemed unwell

“Angel, what happened? Are you okay?” she spoke louder and the spider demon raised his head abruptly with shock in his eyes

To that another laughter came from the media demon

“I'm afraid that our friend, Angel, is not gonna be of much help” he snickered as he took a step closer to her locked cage “You see this” he knocked on the glass cube “Is keeping you here nice and amicable”

“What is this” she asked, touching the glass with an open hand

“You might remember the might of Lilith” he grinned “This was the prototype for it, it wasn't as strong, but we all know you aren't as strong as little old Lu” he said as he turned around to walk towards a little desk in the corner, off which a laptop sat

The reality of the situation creeped in

“What do you want?” she asked, her voice reeking of desperation

“Information” came Vox`s reply as he picked it the laptop “Tell me exactly what is this?” he strode back, holding the screen
At first it was too far for her to make out what was he referring to, but as he came closer, she realized at what she was looking at

On the screen in front of her was her, naked, wings fluttered, and Alastor was behind, fucking her

Holly shit!

She put her palm at her lips

It was from the night when they did it in front of the window

But...

How could Vox...?

It was the middle of the night, and Alastor`s room was on the highest floor, no nearby building was there...

“Did you...” she begun to say, but the shock of seeing them having sex took away her voice for a moment “Did you have cameras?” she asked and his grin widened

“I have cameras everywhere outside” he said and her feet gave out, sinking her body to the floor

He put the laptop on the floor, right in front of her, the scene of them just continued, as he leaned over to watch it with her

“I want you to explain in every detail...” his voice was smooth “What the FUCK is this?” he screamed at her while pointing precisely at the moment where Alastor pulls her back and kisses her passionately. The scene making her warm inside

“What weird heaven shit did you do?” he asked again, and looked at her, with so much disgust and hate that she almost felt guilty for causing that to someone

“I didn't...” she tried but her voice left her again, and Vox just pulled up the laptop and tossed it to the wall with so much force, it broke into tiny pieces, startling Angel

Emily did not want to see him suffer

“Please can I talk with Angel for a minute? I'll answer everything after.” she asked and it seemed that her plea worked, because Vox just waved and sat down in an armchair, that came up from the floor, waiting

“Angel please” she tried and the spider demon raised his head “Please, I know you did not do this”

“No..I did this, I'm a traitor” he was spiraling

“No, I know you were controlled.” she tried again with desperation “I know we don't really know each other, but I consider you a friend” she smiled, reassuringly “And I never let my friends blame themselves for something they had no control over” her voice sounded strong to her, and she could tell how, even just a tiny bit, Angel's shoulders relaxed

She could tell he wanted to argue with her, but she also had seen that Vox`s little patience was running out, so she had to cut it short

“Whatever happens, it is not your fault” she said with another smile, before she turned back to Vox

The media demon got up and stood next to her as he said

“Now, explain” his voice was threatening, and she did not know where to even begin

“I...” her voice died in her throat “I did not use heaven magic on him” she said finally

“So what did you use?” his voice sounded friendly, almost like a talk show host, yet the anger underneath was palpable

“I didn't use tricks on him” she confessed

“Tell me from the beginning, I want to know every detail on how you made that fucker do that?”he said as he sat back down in his chair, feigning calmness

She thought it through, but there was one issue, Alastor gave her the order to not tell a soul about their deal

As she was trying to gather her thoughts, a door swung open, and entered the two other Vees

“What are you doing?” asked Velvette with annoyance while the moth demon just went straight to Angel

“Are you done using my stuff?” he asked as he lifted up Angel with force from his arm, the pained sound of Angel at the contact made Emily stand up

“Let him go” she said with anger, to which Valentino looked at her again

“Now, let's do some introductions” came Vox between them “Val, Velvette, you might remember the little angel, Emily” he pointed at her with his palm

Valentino looked her over once again with a demonic grin

“Wasn't she the chica that made the Radio Demon come on camera?” he said

“Ohh yeah, I remember, she and old timey creep, you showed us the video of them fucking” as Velvette talked, she still was tipping on her phone “But what is she doing here?” her tone was uncaring

“This is our in to find out what is Alastor`s weakness” said Vox with excitement, Emily stomach dropped

Ohh no

She felt how her power was sucked dry, her arms falling limply, while her legs threatened to give out on her once again, she only wanted to protect Alastor and Angel now, yet...
“So, you were saying...?” turned to her Vox

She took a deep breath

Emily knew she had to say something, to get her more time to think

“As I said...I did not use magic on him” she said with conviction “I would never do that”

“Explain from the very beginning” repeated himself Vox

“I...can't” her voice was unsure

“Do you require to spill some of your blood before you can talk?” threatened Vox but Valentino put a hand on his shoulder

“Pappi, if you're done with her, I still want to use her in my next movie” he said with a slippery voice and Emily felt even more disgusted “They'd pay a lot to see a real angel in porn” he sounded almost excited to her “And she could fuck herself with those annoying little birds as well, the golden ones she made”

Her eyes widened

How did they know of her ability to create heavenly golden animals? She was barely using it

Except...

Ohh noo

She was sent to spy on them and she did sent in that bird, and it came back with a report each time.

Did they find it and reprogrammed it?

Now that she thought about it, why did Vox seem to still be in equal footing with the other two?

Wait...
The only reason she thought that wouldn't be the case, was because of the report of her bird, but if that was a lie, then Vox still had some power and repaired his relationships with the other two

She was still pondering on it, when the moth demon approached her cube and opened it from the outside

“Let me see” he reached in and took her face into his hold. She tried to get out but his other three hands held her down at her shoulders and arms “You'll need to lose the fat, baby” he said as his extended tongue came out and licked over his lips “But you'll definitely be successful” he begun to pull her out of the cube “Let me see a bit more” he said as she tried to resist

“Val, I'm not done yet, and anyway she needs to stay there” came Vox closer

“She doesn't even have power to stand” Valentino said as he pulled her out fully from the cube

“Fine, but she needs to talk” the angry tone in Vox`s voice was stronger as he closed the door of the cube

“I can't” she tried to say it again, but her tongue stopped before she could utter anything more

“Fine, if you don't wish to talk, you can try your hand at acting first” he sounded calm “From what I've seen, you are experienced” he spit those words and she begun to panic

“I want to say it!” she said it louder “But...Alastor...he...” her tongue did not let her speak

Valentino was dragging her and she was resisting as much as she could, but she barely had enough strength to stand on

“No, please” she was desperate “I'm forbidden” she forced it out, which made Vox raise a hand up to Valentino

“Forbidden? By whom? Alastor?” he went to stand in front of her and she could only nod “Did Alastor forbid you? How?” he pulled her out forcefully from the moth demon's grasp

“I can't say...” she said, her voice sounding low

“Are you physically unable to say?” he was annoyed, but then a moment later something clicked “You are” he let her go in shock and she went away fast to put some distance between them, but she tripped and fell. The sucked out energy was too much, she couldn't stand anymore.

Just what was that thing?

Her breathing grew heavier

“Hey, what the actual Fuck? Does he own your soul?” came by Vox and knelled down in front of her, she only starred at him in defiance “Fuck! It's true! Are you fucking serious?!” he raised his voice but then she saw that another thing clicked for him “That's why you were spying” he stood up and buried his hands in his face screen “Are you fucking serious? Alastor can just order you around like his little bitch?”

“So her soul is not free? Shame, but at least we can use her body” said Valentino as well as he stepped in front of her with his red smile

The moth demon was just about to reach down to grab her again, when Vox spoke up

“Wait, I'm not done yet” the media demon leaned closer “What was the deal?” he murmured

She shook her head again

“Right, shit, let's try this, answer yes or no questions, so did you ask for him to fuck you for your soul?” he grinned

Her eyes widened

“No” she answered with anger

How could he even think like that? And why was he so hung up on her and Alastor`s relationship? In the beginning he didn't even know about the deal between them...

Wait

She suddenly remembered, Vox was willing to die just to defeat Alastor, and Alastor told her that Vox tried to sexually assault him before

Was Vox that much into him in this twisted kind of way?

She suddenly felt something that she only felt one other time

“Come on, if anyone, I would understand wanting a piece of that, but at the cost of your soul? Fuck” Vox was almost happy sounding

“I did not need to” she whispered

“What are you saying?” he leaned closer mockingly and her feelings got the better of her

“He wants me! Unlike you, he wants me without force!” she said with anger, but she immediately regretted it

As Vox took in her words, he seamed calm, as he got up to turn away with a slight hmm

Her shoulders relaxed for one second and that's when it happened

Vox turned back to her with anger, so much anger in his eyes

And he punched her

She fell back at the contact, and at first hear ear rang only, but then the pain followed and the taste of blood from her broken lip filled her

She was on the ground and her vision was cloudy, all she could fell was the golden blood dipping down to the cold floor

“Ahh that felt good” came the voice of the media demon “Did you catch it?” he asked as he turned to Velvette who was holding her phone as she was filming it

“Yep, can air already” replied the doll demon

“Great”

Emily was still dizzy from the pain. She was never in such a pain before, but in her weakened state she felt every bit of it.

She couched up the blood

All she could think of was how much it hurt

But then...

Her power

Was it slowly coming back? She was out of the cube now for a few minutes, and maybe she'll need just a few more to be able to do something.

As she was pondering on it, the moth demon knelled down next to her

“Voxy, why did you have to be so rough? Now I have to wait before I can use her” he attempted to touch her again, but Emily crawled away hastily

“Val, just be patient” Vox went next to her “Now” he pulled up her head from her hair to make her look at him “Tell me, what did you ask of Alastor? Was it his power?” he sneered into her face

“No” she said

“Come on, bitch, give me a hint” he said as he tightened his grip on her hair, the pain striking her head

She wanted to defy him more but she needed more time

“The hotel” she breathed out as she could not say anymore

“What does that shitty hotel has to do with anything” Vox sounded angrier, but then his eyes widened and he let her go, as he went on to laugh maniacally, holding his stomach

“Yo, Velvette, Val, you guys are never gonna believe this” he was still roaring while the other two starred it him in question “This heavenly bitch” he pointed at her “You asked the radio demon to redeem himself? Right? Is that it?” he cackled again

Emily guessed that she did not need to answer that, as Vox just took whatever he saw on her face as answer.

Now all three overlords begun to laugh as if that was the best joke of the century.

Emily was glad they were preoccupied as she now truly felt her power coming back, and she was looking in the direction of Angel, calculating on how fast she'd have to be to get both of them out

“That was a good one” Vox said from next to her as he rearranged his bow tie “Now that that's out of the way, you can start talking” he knelled back down but then noticed her lips being healed “Shit” is all he said before he forcefully pulled her up in an instant, and launched her back into the cube, which he opened with a button

“That was a close one” he mused

She stopped the impact with her wings, but then as soon as she was in the cube closed around her, it begun to suck out the power within her, and soon she was on the ground again.

“You fucker” he said as he glared at Valentino “Don't take her out, until I say so!”

“Okay, jesh” replied the moth demon

“Now, let's return” he turned back to Emily “How did you convince the radio demon to fuck you? And how many times?” he asked smotthly

She felt her face heating up

“I did not have to convince him” she said calmly

“So then, what went down?”

When she continued to not answer, he pulled out a remote, and pressed a button on it

The shock wave pulled her voice out of her throat, as she was screaming

“Now start singing” she heard the voice a second after the pain subsidized, but all she could feel was still the tiny little electric needles covering her skin

Her limbs begun to shake

“Why do you care?” she whispered as she held onto herself

“Hm, you could say I'm curious” he deadpanned back “So what, are you in love with him?” he was mocking her

The question struck her, and she starred up at him

“Vox, I think you struck a nerve” snickered Velvette to which the other just hummed “This bitch is hopeless” the doll demon talked into her phone.

Emily did not realize at first what that meant, but as she saw the mortified look on Vox`s face, she knew, something was wrong

“Velvette, are you live streaming?” Vox asked as he approached the doll demon

“Of course, this is the shit that people are eating up”

“What the fuck? Didn't I tell you to wait?”

The argument between them continued, but Emily was losing too much power, and she closed her eyes for just one moment before the darkness fully overtook her.

Alastor

Alastor was going to the lobby, he was already finished with the afternoon broadcast, and if he wanted to be honest with himself, he was restless.

Emily left hours before, yet there was no sign of her coming back yet, and he was not that trusting with Heaven. After Emily told him the story of her amputation, the whole thing left a bad taste in his mouth.

Of course, he wasn't naive, he could tell, even before meeting Emily, that heaven was not so heavenly, that there must have been something about it, that was wrong, and he felt satisfied when it turned out to be true.

What Alastor did not expect was how much he did not want Emily to go back to heaven after that. His rational mind knew that it would be highly unlikely that they'd do something against a seraph angel, yet his uneasiness was clouding his mind.

When he thought about their morning, the creepling feeling, that something was terribly wrong persisted.

Was a part of him also uneasy, because his thoughts continued to circle back to the ugly idea that what if she wouldn't want to come back? Heaven could send another angel, and then how would he able to talk with her again?

But...

No, that's ridiculous

He knew Emily enough to know that she would never do that.

But he had to think

Could heaven allow her to stay permanently at the hotel?

Maybe
But most importantly, would she want to? Would she want to stay in hell for eternity?

He knew that right now, what they had was important enough for her to want to stay, but what about the long run? Would she want to stay then too? And about the matter of him owning her soul, and in exchange he had to try to get redeemed, was that a deal they would have until he'd get redeemed or otherwise?

Alastor knew one thing, that he was not feeling comfortable making orders for her, not after what they had.

But...

It was bothering him that he was so valiant, that he did not want to use her.

He knew that their liaison was special to both of them, but he did not think it would cause something in him, where he would care so deeply about her feelings.

Was he...?

“Alastor, you should see this” he felt a gentle tug on his shoulder from Charlie, as she slowly pointed at the annoying picture box, all the people in the lobby were watching it, including that heavenly boy.

As his eyes went there he forgot to breath for a moment

On the screen was Vox, as he said something, but all Alastor could see in his reddened vision was the figure behind him on the floor, locked in a glass, her silver hair spread out on her unmoving body

He felt his power growing around him, so much, he barely noticed the lights switch in the lobby, or the green fire erupting around him, or his shadow growing with a bloodthirsty grin, and he was gone into the darkness without a second thought.

Emily

She screamed as the electricity licked her skin again, leaving her burned with pain.

“Wake up bitch” said Vox with a bored expression “Alastor could be here any minute now, and I still need you to talk”

She shook her head.

She felt so sick to her stomach, and without warning, she begun to throw up

“Ughh, you really had to do it?” his tone was disgusted “Just tell me now, how far is Alastor in his redemption? He hasn't killed for a while.” he mused “Is he allowed to kill?” he asked as he went closer and threateningly put the remote in her vision which he used to start the shock wave

Her stomach turned just at the thought of another round of pain

“No” she said and hated herself for it

“Great! Is he allowed to harm?”

“No”

“This shit is too good to be true! What happens if he breaks those rules? Does he lose control over you?” he had a shit eating grin

“Yes” her arms were trembling at the weight of holding herself

“I can't believe it!” he laughed but then his smile grew even more “And you think he cares for you?” his tone was filled with so much ridicule and hate

“Yes” she said defiantly as he starred back at him

“Honey, he only cares about himself! He probably fucked you just so you do his bidding even more!”

She wanted to scream at him

“No!” she snared “You don't know anything!”

“But I do” he leaned closer with a knowing smile “The radio demon has killed and tortured many here” he begun “When I was alive, people still remembered him, the smiling cannibal, he collected people's teeth, and decorated his wall with their smiles” she did not know how to process this “He used to broadcast the screams of the sinners he tortured here” he took a dramatic pause “And he'll want to torture you too, for what you made him do” he stood up

“No! He'd never! I did not force him be intimate with me!” she screamed at him but the visual image of Alastor torturing her did not leave her mind

“Bitch, I still don't know what you did to get him to do that, but I know Alastor, and he's not happy about it. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd kill you slowly at the end” he hummed “That fucker just kept you amicable with a good fuck” he spit and she just wanted to do something, to make him stop

“He kissed me! First!” she snared back, and was happy to see an unexpected look in Vox`s eyes,he almost looked sad, she wanted to push further

“Doesn't disprove anything!” he starred back “You are just too dumb to see that he is using you for power, your stupid idea of redemption...” he laughed “Only an angel would be naive enough to expect Alastor to go to heaven”

She couldn't stop herself

“I believe he will get redeemed” her voice was low “You think you know him, but he freed Husk, you see the only side you have seen of him was him hating you!” she screamed and it felt good to let it out, after so much pain

Vox just went to stand in front of her, slowly opened the door to the cube and pulled her up by her collar

“I want to kill you so much, bitch” he snared “But after Alastor is dead, I want to own your soul, and take over the city” he breathed into her face “I'll fuck you live while the heavenly army destroys hell in my name” he looked positively crazy and she just wanted to get away from him “Your sister will have no choice” he came so close, his screen was almost touching her and she spit on his screen. She had never done anything like that before

“Bitch” he said before he punched her again, but this time she expected it, and as his fist made contact with her face, she collected her power to get out of his grasp and run out of the cube with heavy breaths

Her face was pulsing in pain yet all she could think of was getting as far away from Vox as possible

“What is it angel?” she heard him behind her but she was too scared to look back “I'm sure, you little whore, that you'd like my dick just as much!” he sounded close, too close and Emily closed her eyes, expecting to be captured again

“Leave her alone” she heard Angel and felt his reassuring hand on her shoulder

“I see that the slut still hasn't learned the lesson” Vox was beginning to launch forward but then the whole building shook under their feet “What the fuck are they doing?” he cursed as he stopped to look at his phone

While he turned away from them Angel came to hold Emily, as the extra energy that she exerted just before, almost made her pass out

“Please just get well enough to get out, little one” he whispered to her

“No, I'm not leaving you!” she wanted to look him in the eyes “Husk and everyone loves you and wants you back!” she said as they heard Vox still curse into his phone

“No, I betrayed them” he tried to pull her towards the door

“Husk wants to get redeemed with you” he was still not stopping

“Husk is better of forgetting about me” he said and Emily felt her power seeping back ,and she just touched Angel's face and said

“Angel, your sister, Molly is in heaven, and she is waiting for you” she smiled while Angel's eyes widened

“Molly? Is she happy?” were his only questions

“Yes, she only misses her brother” she replied and saw the tears that streamed down on Angel's face

“When you two are done with this emotional bullshit, we gotta move” Vox put away his phone and begun to make his way towards them, but at that point Emily felt her power coming back faster with each second and she stood up in front of Angel to shield him, and just as she was about to open her mouth, the ground shock once again under their feet

“What the hell is happening?” whined Angel

Emily had to steady herself when she heard some bombing sounds from the upper level

“Cherry” beamed Angel as another wave of explosives could be heard

“Val, what are you doing?” Vox was talking on his phone again but all Emily could see were the shadows that seeped into the room, and she immediately knew

Alastor was there

Vox noticed a second late when he materialized with a demonic grin and green flames

Emily saw him first. The moment their eyes met, all she could think was how happy she was to see him.

He moved leisurely, as if on a casual stroll through town, yet Emily could tell that underneath there was a brewing rage.

“I see you’re finally here, Alastor,” Vox said, turning toward the Radio Demon with a maniacal grin.

Alastor didn’t even glance in Vox’s direction. Instead, his gaze remained fixed on Emily, carefully scanning her frame for injuries. A faint radio static crackled when his eyes landed on her bloodied face.

“I’m okay,” she said quickly, trying to reassure him—but her voice only made the tension in his expression sharpen.

Then, with visible effort, he composed himself and finally turned toward Vox.

“Vincent, I expected better from you.” The radio interference around his voice intensified.

“Shut up. I know you can’t harm me,” Vox snapped.

He reached for Emily—but a shadow yanked her out of his grasp before he could touch her.

Her breath hitched as the ground shifted beneath her feet. A section of the ceiling collapsed away, and Charlie and Husk dropped into the room.

“Emily! Are you okay?” Charlie shouted, just as another explosion rattled the upper floors. Valentino followed soon after.

“Voxi, we need the big guns,” he whined.

“Come back here, you motherfucker!” Cherry’s voice echoed as she descended, immediately charging toward Valentino.

Amid the chaos, Emily felt a reassuring shadow around her waist and she let out an exasperated breath

Husk reached them

“Angel! Emily!” was all he managed before the doors burst open and hundreds of maid robots poured in, knives in hand. “Shit! Get away!”
He pulled Angel away from a robot, while Emily remained there, the shadow protecting her.

The Robots pointedly avoided both Alastor and Vox entirerly, and the latter took note of her protection.

“So, Alastor,” he sneered, “I heard about your little deal. Didn’t know you’d become an angel sitter.”

A soft chuckle escaped him, but Alastor remained unnervingly calm.

“Vincent, I’d advise against humor. It suits you terribly.”

“You want to criticize me? How about you clear up something!” Vox snapped, gesturing sharply toward Emily. “Are you here to retrieve your little tool?”

Alastor tilted his head slightly, feigning indifference.

“Now wouldn’t that make sense? After all… I own her soul.”

“Ha! I knew it! Do you see it, bitch?” he starred at her with a shit eating grin

Emily said nothing. All she could feel was the suffocating pressure of Alastor’s restrained blood lust vibrating in the air

“What exactly did you think you knew, Vincent?” Alastor asked, stepping forward slightly.

“No,” Emily whispered suddenly as she watched Alastor, already having an intuition on what he was planning

“That she’s nothing more than your angelic tool. Ha! With her power unleashed, you could rule hell!” Vox snickered, not picking up on the vibe between them “But that power doesn't fit you! Look how much you had to stoop yourself! You had to fuck her just to keep her in line! Ha, controlling an angel must not be easy!” he laughed while she heard the heightened buzzing of the radio

“Aha… so you know about it,” he said calmly, almost amused. “So now, do tell me, what did you have to do, to get that information out of her?”He stepped closer. “I did catch your… colleague suggesting she participate in his little productions.”

“That doesn’t matter,” Vox snapped, pulling out a cannon-shaped weapon from his jacket“I’ve got her collected angelic power right here.” he aimed it at Alastor

Then

A green signal impaled Vox`s face screen and a familiar scene played out.

“I want to kill you so much, bitch. But after Alastor is dead, I’ll own your soul, take over the city… I’ll fuck you live while heaven burns hell in my name. Your sister won’t have a choice.”

Silence hit the room, and Emily knew she had to step in.

“Please,” she stepped forward instinctively in his direction “I'm okay” but Alastor just went to stand in front of her, while his shadow extended around them.

“I'll shoot you if you don't get away” they heard his voice from outside of the shadow, but all she could focus on was the ever growing grin on Alastor`s face

She reached up to touch him, but as her fingers made contact with his toothy grin he said

“I order you to stay here” the chain around her neck reappeared and locked her down to the floor

She wanted to scream at him but he was already gone, and she just had to stand there, while her feet did not move and had to watch

Alastor approached now Vox, and the media demon did shoot the gun on him, but he missed each time

“Vincent, I had no idea that you wanted to become my victim so badly” his voice was distorted as his antlers extended

“Fuck off and die already!” screamed Vox

“That won't do” his voice was demonic “You see, you did something inexcusable” the last syllable was a screech “But don't worry, I'll feel your pain with you” Vox slipped away, but now he couldn't call his shark, so Alastor chased him while his little shadows were circling around him

Emily was screaming his name the whole time but her voice died down when after she saw what he was doing

Alastor held Vox down with his shadows, the gun was already discarded from him, while he begun to laugh, and his laughter permeated the air around them. Alastor`s hands slowly went over the side of the screen, Vox wanted to scream but before he could, Alastor begun to maniacally pull out the cords from him, his laughter growing on his lips.

Laughter

Another cord

Laughter

“Your blood is not even worth seeing” he screeched but Emily could only hear the last remaining sounds of cries from Vox before it died down

Then the room was only filled with Alastor`s laughter

The tears traveled down on Emily's cheeks, her voice was dead

She fell down to the floor, and begun to crawl to him, the tears making her vision cloudy, while she heard some screams from somewhere far

When she got to him, all she could see was the red blood that covered the floor, but Alastor was still not stopping, even though Vox was not moving

As she tried to stand up the realization hit her

My soul...

She felt the emptiness of her neck, as the chain was gone, and all she could think about was how she wanted not to be controlled by him

But...

Not like this

She didn't want this!

His redemption...what would happen with them now?

She stood up and put a gentle hand on Alastor`s shoulder, his jacket was destroyed already, so under the white button down she could feel the warmth of him

He tensed for a moment then looked up at her with a widened gaze, while he still held parts of Vox`s dismantlement body and she just gazed down at him, fresh tears falling onto his face
