Now that the deer boy is back how will everyone react. Hint: Lizzy won't like it.

Warning for some sexual talk and stuff in the middle of the chapter so be warned if that makes you uncomfortable.

Ch 19: The Radio Demon Returns

(Third Person POV)

Alastor stayed awake the whole time the extermination went on. He never slept really. He had to keep his eyes out for anything that might come in or attack. He also kept awake to keep an eye on Heart. He still had that urge to protect her, especially after earlier this morning. He never expected she would do that.

Alastor looked down at the girl who was still curled up at his side sound asleep, her arms tight around him. He had a clawed hand running on the top of her head, petting her to keep the girl calm in her sleep. His other hand rested on her arm that was around his waist. He deep down really missed her dearly and regrets leaving her for so long. He should have come back sooner, but even he was fooled by her masks. He kept his eye on her from time to time when he was away. He also went off and did his own thing as well. If he did come back to her, he had to be ready again for what was in store. So that he wouldn't be scared anymore about the idea of...sex. He had friends that he sought out to help him mentally with this while he was away from her. Would he be ready, only the time would tell.

Alastor loved to watch people squirm, fail and make themselves fall into a pit of despair. For Heart though, he hated seeing her sad and depressed the way she was. He wanted her to move on from him, to be happy. He thought that if he went away, she would be fine. He soon realized it was the complete opposite.

That's why he led Russ to her. Russ didn't realize it obviously, but Alastor made shadows convince Russ that whole day to go to the restaurant on Heart's first day. He thought Russ was a nice guy. He wanted Heart to fall for him, help her out and hopefully heal. That wasn't the case. She still loved him, even though he had been gone for so long. Russ fell for her, but she never opened her heart back up. Even to a demon as charming as Russ was.

She waited for him to return. He may have told her he was coming back but he never planned to. When he realized that she never really moved on from him, he planned to come back. After the extermination. To surprise her. That plan didn't go as well as he thought either. He never would have thought that she would go on a suicide mission into the city to be killed by an angel. To end her life. He realized then that it was a mistake to do all this. He felt stupid for thinking this would work out well.

Secretly the whole time though, Alastor missed her. He missed her so much. He couldn't even count the amount of times he wished he could go to her side to comfort her, make her tears go away, make sure she was happy again. One time his shadows actually held him back, because he specifically told them to hold him back if he ever tried something. His shadows watched over her still, but not all the time. It would just be a quick pop in to see how she was doing then they would update to him. Sometimes he would even go himself. The Radio Demon couldn't break away from the wolf-dragon demon girl either. He still loved her; he would never stop loving her.

When his shadow came back to report that she had gone missing from her hotel room during the extermination, for once in his life he was afraid and panicked. He had his shadows spread out everywhere to look for her as fast as possible. He never thought she would go that far. When a shadow finally found her, he rushed to her side. When he saw her kneeling there in the street before an angel, he knew she was looking for one on purpose and not by accident. He was angered, he had to protect her, he couldn't let her go through with this action. He would have that guilt on his shoulders for the rest of his life. To have the one person he ever truly loved, die by the hand of an angel. He wouldn't be able to forgive himself.

Alastor gave out a sigh, he had a lot of explaining to do. He hoped that she would let him do so.

Using his powers, he kept Heart in place, and he snuck out from under her so that she wouldn't be disturbed by his movement. He gently put her down on the bed. Remembering she still had the doll he made her, he used his powers to make it appear from out of the bathroom where she left it and he placed it in her arms just in case. She shifted a moment but went to hugging the doll.

Alastor looked at the clock on the bedside table. Only 5 more minutes and it will be over. He went to the window and looked out into the ruined city. The bright red sky was filled with smoke and fire as blood ran down the streets. Another extermination can finally be over with. Alastor grabbed one of the boards on the window and pulled it off, then another and another; till the whole window was free from the boards. It made some noise but Alastor kept checking over at the bed and Heart was still sound asleep.

It did, however, wake someone else up.

Lizzy heard the boards being pulled off the window. Her eyes snapped open and she sat up straight in the tub. She cleared the sleep from her eyes and looked around. She noticed that Heart was gone. Lizzy was unaware of the time, so she thought the extermination was still going on and Heart was missing. She jumped out of the tub and quickly opened the bathroom door.

"Heart where did you-" She started to say as she walked out of the bathroom, but she stopped herself when she saw who was standing at the window.

Alastor.

Lizzy's ears went back as she started to growl deep in her throat at him. Slitting her eyes in anger.

Then on cue, a firework shot into the sky and exploded. Charlie was letting everyone know in the city that the extermination was over.

The deer demon turned around and faced her, "Ah Lizzy my good lady. It's nice to see you again." He greeted her with his normal wide smile.

"Give me one good fucking reason to not rip you apart?" Lizzy growled lowly at him.

"Well I could give you a list if you'd like?" Alastor asked, putting his hands behind his back.

"A list? Oh, I can give you a list alright. One that tells me to kick the living shit out of you!" Lizzy bared her teeth at him. "She hurt a lot from you. Why did you come back!?" Lizzy asked through her teeth.

"I came back when I needed to. She needed me." Alastor answered calmly.

"When you were needed!? That's bullshit!" Lizzy shouted, walking up closer to the deer demon.

"Please no shouting dear. Some are still asleep." Alastor said gesturing to Heart in bed.

Lizzy perked her ears up and stopped her growling. She looked over and saw Heart asleep on the bed. She quickly snapped back to Alastor growling again.

"I could care less. She should be awake to see this." Lizzy said, stepping closer.

"She knows I'm back. I found her last night. In the streets." Alastor told her.

Lizzy's ears went up in surprise. "Say what? You're telling me she snuck out last night?"

"Indeed she did. Right under your nose." Alastor said as he put a finger out and poked Lizzy on the nose.

"Don't fucking touch me you bastard!" Lizzy yelled, smacking his hand away. "You're a real asshole for showing up!"

Alastor was unfazed by Lizzy's action and kept his hand in the air. "I am, but as far as I'm concerned, she wants me here."

Unknown to the two, Heart was slowly starting to wake up. Mainly from the yelling but mainly because her sleepiness was wearing off.

"No, she doesn't." Lizzy growled.

"On the contrary, I think she does." Alastor fixed his monocle. "She didn't tell you what she did last night. I know what she did."

"What do you know that I don't?" Lizzy wondered.

"Your sister was almost killed by an angel last night. I was there to save her." Alastor told her, he was still calm in the conversation.

"Your-You're lying." Lizzy took a step back, surprised. "She wouldn't do that."

"She did and it was on purpose." Alastor corrected her.

Lizzy took a moment and thought, but then realized it was him that caused her to do it. "It's your fault then!" Lizzy bared her teeth again. "She wanted to die! The way she acted before the extermination explains it. When she found out you weren't coming back" She bawled her clawed hands into fists. "She almost died and it's all your fault!"

Lizzy pulled an arm back and then punched Alastor right in his face.

(Heart's POV)

My sleep was wearing off. Finally. I hoped that when I woke up the extermination would be over. As I slowly started to come out of my sleep, I heard someone. My ears started to perk around to listen. I started to come out of my sleepiness and the yelling became clearer. It was Lizzy, but why was she yelling? I also felt that Alastor was not in bed with me anymore. I lifted my head from the pillow and rubbed sleep from my eyes. I blinked and the figures in the room became clearer. My ears moving at the sounds.

Alastor stood near the window as Lizzy stood in front of him, yelling. She was angry. What for though? I was still tired, so my brain didn't fully understand what was going on. Maybe it was because I kept what I did last night a secret for so long? I sat up a little more in bed, putting myself up onto my one elbow.

I was just about to say something to interrupt Lizzy's yelling but what she did next, I didn't even expect.

"She almost died and it's all your fault!" Lizzy pulled an arm back and then punched Alastor right in his face.

I gasped and jumped out of bed, my ears shot up in worry and surprise. "Lizzy what the fuck is your problem!" I yelled.

I ran up to Alastor who just stood there with his face away and down from Lizzy from the punch.

"Heart! What the fuck? Why are you worried about him!?" Lizzy asked as she yelled at me.

I ignored her. "Al are you ok?" I asked worried, putting my hand on his arm as my ears went down a little bit.

He picked up his head and she had really punched him good. There was already a mark forming on his cheek and had a small cut on his lip with blood. He wiped the blood away with the sleeve of his long shirt.

"I deserved that." Alastor said, then started to laugh.

I was taken back by that. What? He was saying he deserved to be punched?

"You bet your ass you did. After all this shit you put my sister through, I think you deserve more than just that one punch." Lizzy growled, pointing her clawed finger at us.

I stood with my arms out in front of Alastor, "No, no more punching." My ears falling flat and I gave her a growl as well.

I heard Alastor's laugh die behind me. "Just be lucky you're still alive girl, you have to remember who I still am." Alastor said evilly. "You get one and that's all you get. Plus, I'm keeping my promise I kept to your sister, so be glad."

Lizzy stopped at those words. Alastor wasn't wrong. She was lucky to still be alive after doing something like that to him. He WAS still the Radio Demon. The most powerful being in all of hell. Plus, I did tell Alastor to never harm my sister, so he was keeping his promise.

"Everyone just calm the hell down." I said with my arms still out.

"Heart tell me the truth. What did you do last night?" Lizzy asked, walking closer to me.

I sighed and put my arms down and then wrapped them around myself. My ears falling to the side as my tail wrapped around me. "I'll be honest with you sister." I took a pause. "I-I tried to die last night. I snuck out of the hotel and into the city to find an exterminator angel."

"Why? What made you do this?" Lizzy wondered with worry in her voice and her ears going to the side as well.

I sighed. "The reason for me still being here in hell was gone. What was the point of living here any longer if the reason I was staying here wasn't with me anymore?"

I could see the sadness in her eyes. "What about me and your friends? Don't we matter?"

I felt tears prick the corners of my eyes. "Of course, you do! I thought of them. I thought of you. All the time, but they weren't the glue that held me together." The tears fell. "They were all pieces. Everything was just falling off without it. I was just crumbling and falling apart." I then felt Alastor wrap his arms around me, comforting me. It calmed me a little. "Without Al, I didn't feel whole here. Lost. Alone." I took a breath, "So I figured...what's the point? If I was just going to keep feeling like this, then I don't think I want to be here. I didn't want to feel that way anymore."

Lizzy just stared at me, "He is still the reason behind it all though. Aren't you angry with him?"

"There is no reason to show my anger. All that anger went away last night. He came back to me, that's what I care about. It wasn't when I would have liked but he still came back." I took my arms and unfolded them from myself and placed my hands over top of Alastor's that were still wrapped around me. My ears went up slightly. "He saved me last night. That showed me he still cared for me. If he didn't...he would have just let me die on that street. It proved to me that I should have never doubted him."

Alastor leaned down and kissed the tip of my ear. "I would have never forgiven myself if I didn't save you." He whispered to me.

Lizzy seemed confused, but also still angered. She sighed in frustration and her ears went up, but they were backwards. "I don't know what I would have done without you here, Heart. I'm just glad you're safe. Just promise me, not to do that again. Don't be Victor." She put her ears down in sadness.

I nodded. "I promise you, Lizzy. I won't go out on extermination day again." I gave her a smile.

Lizzy nodded. "Good." I saw she was nervous now. "I'm-I'm going to go head to the lobby. See if Charlie is down there yet." I didn't get to say anything before Lizzy turned and quickly walked out the door and closed it behind her.

I just leaned into Alastor with a small sigh of relief. "I'm sorry she punched you. Are you ok?"

"I will be fine darling." Alastor answered me.

"Thank you, Al. For saving me last night. I realize now that I was just so crazy and clouded with depression. I never thought of other feelings fully."

Alastor leaned his head down and touched his small deer horns to my dragon ones. "Nothing will harm you. Not while I'm around." Alastor reassured me. "I'd save you a thousand times over from all the angels if I had to."

I just felt comfort wash over me. The content I loved to feel when I was just in his arms. I took a deep breath in and let it out slowly. My hand unconsciously rubbing up and down Alastor's arm.

"I'm just glad to be back in your arms again." I whispered. "I missed you so much, my great buck."

"I missed you as well, my little wolf." Alastor said lovingly. "I'm glad to hold you again. You have no idea how hard it was for the whole time I was gone not to." Alastor lifted his head up from mine. "I'm sure you would like an explanation?" He asked.

I turned around in his arms. "You don't have to tell me."

"But I feel you deserve to know." Alastor told me.

I looked at him sternly, "If that's so, then I'm not the only one that deserves to know."

"I know, Charlie does as well." Alastor realized.

"That's right. So why don't we go down into the lobby as well and look for her?" I suggested.

Alastor gave a small sigh but nodded, "That's a good idea." He then pulled me closer to himself. "But first" He leaned his head down slightly, "I'd like to do something to you that I greatly missed doing." He gave a devilish smirk.

I then smirked as well, "Oh? What might that be?" I had a feeling I knew what it was.

Alastor said nothing else, all he did was lean down and place a kiss on my lips. We stayed like that a few moments until Alastor wanted to give me more. He licked my bottom lips, asking me for entry and I gladly opened my mouth and he slipped his tongue inside. Letting him explore what hasn't been in a long while.

Lucifer, I missed kissing him like this.

My body hasn't felt this way in a long time. A tingle of excitement went up my spine. I wrapped my arms around him and gripped the back of his jacket. Never would I try to let this man go. His hands traveled from my sides up to my back and back down to lay on my hips. I haven't had this urge in so long, not since he left. It was the main reason he left so I didn't even want to think of doing such a thing. He still had this effect on me though, teasing my body to make me feel this way. I still had that sexual attraction and he triggered it right back up.

We pulled apart a moment to take a breath, but he came right back to kiss me again. More forcefully but I could tell he was putting a lot of passion into it. He missed me and it made me happy that I had this effect on him. What he did next, I never thought he would do. He took his right hand off my hip to travel it slowly up my side and then cupped my breast into his hand. Then he laid his full hand on top and squeezed it very lightly. The feeling that went through me I never felt before, I let out a small breath between our kiss as my ears stood straight up. Not only in surprise but out of the small pleasure I felt from it.

Where did this confidence in him come from to do this? I didn't mind it at all, but it was all so new and different from him that it confused me. It was a whole new level to Alastor I didn't know existed.

He pulled away from our kiss and dropped his hand from my chest. He almost looked embarrassed from it.

"Where did this come from hmm?" I asked him, looking at him seductively.

"Sorry, didn't mean to surprise you." Alastor said.

"I didn't mind it at all. I actually...liked it." I told him as I felt a small blush come to my face.

Alastor let out a chuckle. "Little bit at a time my love. I did a lot while I was away and making sure I wouldn't be afraid to do things with you was one of them."

"Al, you didn't have to do that for me." I put my ears to the side.

He placed a hand on my cheek. "But I wanted to. I feel that if I wanted to be more confident in our relationship, I better get over my fears. Although, I feel you will be the only person I will ever feel this confidante about doing this for."

I leaned into his touch. "Little at a time then. That's fine by me." I said with a smile.

Alastor leaned closer to my face again and had a devilish smile on his face. "That was only the beginning my darling." He said in a low seductive voice.

I felt that chill run up my spine. I got goosebumps. My blush got darker on my face. I still had to remember, Alastor had to be the one to take the steps. I didn't want to push him like I did before. If he was willing to explore new things, then I still wanted to take it at his pace. Him touching me like that, was just a start.

He leaned back up straight. "Now, how about we go down to the lobby and find Charlie?"

"Yea, let's head down." I agreed, my blush not leaving my face.

Alastor laughed still at my flustered state. We walked out of my room and down the hall but Alastor's stopped when we got to his room, the door was slightly ajar from when I left out the window.

"I saw what you did that day." Alastor said, breaking the silence as we looked at the room.

My ears went back in shame. "I'm sorry you had to see me like that. I don't like to be angry and be in my dragon form. Plus, I apologize for wrecking your room while you were gone."

Alastor went to the door and pushed it open and he stood in the doorway. "It's alright my dear. I can understand that you were angry with me. Questioning my actions." He walked in a little further and looked around the room. "They at least did a good job of cleaning it up."

"Sorry they couldn't fix your music box." I said as I walked up behind him, rubbing my arm. "I broke it really bad Charlie said."

Alastor turned around to face me, "I can easily replace that, so don't you worry so much." Alastor took a step closer to me. "Although I think you have something of mine that Angel found. I would like those back."

I looked away from him and at the floor. "I have them at my house, but they got damaged pretty bad when I stepped on them."

"I can fix a few folds and rips; I can handle that." Alastor reassured me. "Although I know there are some things that can't be replaced nor can they be fixed." Alastor took one of his clawed fingers and put it under my chin, making me look up at him. "Like you."

"Me?" I questioned.

Alastor nodded and took his finger from my chin and laid that hand on my cheek. "You are my light, little wolf. I don't know what I would do without you." He leaned his head down to lay his forehead against mine. "I would have never forgiven myself if I didn't save you in time. You are something...that cannot be replaced."

"Al, you know just what to say to me to make my heart flutter. I missed that." I said with a happy chuckle that escaped my lips as I smiled. "I can at least be fixed, in time." I added.

"That is true. I hope I can help you through that as well." Alastor leaned in and laid a small kiss on my lips. He pulled away from me and moved his hand to my shoulder. "Come on now, let's go see Charlie."

I nodded and we both turned to walk out of the room, Alastor closing the door behind us. We walked down the hallway. Alastor had his arm wrapped around my shoulder as we walked. I didn't want the feeling of him to leave me. I wanted him to hold me forever. I was afraid to leave his side, what if he disappeared? My mind wouldn't be cruel, would it? Soon we got onto the stairs to look down at the lobby from the railing. Soon we spotted Charlie as some demons were walking up to her and talking to thank her and to make sure everyone was still there. I looked around until I spotted Lizzy who was at the bar, drinking a beer and talking to Husk. I'm sure her fight with Alastor really got her annoyed. Vaggie was over by the kitchen to help demons put some left-over food back. I didn't see Niffty. Nor did I see Angel or Russ yet, but the two were probably enjoying their time together still.

Charlie didn't notice us yet, so we walked down the stairs and walked up to Charlie. Her back was to us. Alastor let me go and then walked up more to Charlie, he reached down and grabbed her hand and then twirled her around. He stopped her by wrapping his hand around her shoulders.

"Good to see you my demon belle." Alastor greeted.

"Alastor!" Charlie's face lit up with excitement as she had a big smile on her face. "You are back!" Charlie surprised Alastor as she jumped and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Alastor stood stiff from the action but he soon calmed but pushed her away after a few seconds.

I noticed Vaggie walk up by us and she just had an annoyed look on her face as she had her arms crossed.

"I almost didn't want to believe Lizzy when she told me. I was thinking it was all a part of a dream she had or something." Charlie laughed. "Now I can see it's true."

Alastor gave a small chuckle as well. "I'm sure you'd like me to explain my absence for so long?"

"You don't have to explain if you don't want to Al." Charlie told him.

"But I feel I must." Alastor said with a small bow.

"Well, if you insist. Let's go sit on the couch then." Charlie said as she gestured to the couch by the fireplace.

We walked over to the couch. Lizzy stayed at the bar. Alastor sat in the middle and I sat on one side of him while Charlie sat on his other side and Vaggie next to Charlie. As we all got comfortable Alastor went on to explain what went on and what he did while he was gone.

He explained how...he never really left. He had stayed hidden, in the darkness, having shadows watch over everything. How he went to visit some friends, that he didn't explain to much about, to help him with his personal matters. Mentally helping him as well with their methods. He explained leading Russ to me, to make me forget him, but Russ falling for me was not on his accord. That didn't matter now though of course since the snake demon fell for Angel Dust. To hear him explain how, even though he was gone, he never fully left. That means he watched me break down, watched me cry, but at the same time...watched me sing every night when I worked, he tucked me in bed when the covers fell off me while I slept and even watched me at my dance lessons. He was there, but I never knew it. He still cared and I doubted him every moment. He said he never planned to come back, but after seeing everything that took place with Russ, he did. He said he realized that...I would never move on from him, at the same time though...he never moved on from me.

"I planned to surprise everyone by coming back after the extermination, but that didn't go as planned." Alastor said.

Charlie tilted her head to the side, "What made you change your mind?"

I raised my hand shyly. "That would be my fault." I said.

Everyone glanced over at me, "You? Why?"

I held my hands together and started to twiddle my fingers. "Well, I um...kind of um. Went out during the extermination last night."

"You What!?" Charlie and Vaggie both exclaimed.

I flinched at their reaction, but I was also expecting it. "Let me explain my actions." I then went on to tell the girls what I told Lizzy and Alastor earlier. How Alastor was my glue but I had fallen apart without him. Then how I snuck out and went to find an angel to kill me. "So, while I was out there, Alastor came to save me."

They then looked to Alastor, "You saved her from the angel? That's pretty nuts to think Al." Charlie said.

Alastor had sat back on the couch at this point, he looked at the fireplace, the flames danced across his face. "I had to, if I wouldn't have…. I would never forgive myself." He then took his arm and wrapped it around my shoulders. "One angel was nothing for me. Even if there were more…. I'd kill them all or die trying to save her." Alastor then pulled me to his side, almost like it was a comfort for himself.

I followed with his gesture and leaned against his side, enjoying the touch.

"Well Alastor, I think you deserve a big thank you." Vaggie said.

"I agree. Thank you for saving Heart. For saving my friend." Charlie added.

"I'm sorry for all of this, I just...didn't want to feel that way anymore." I sighed.

"It's ok Heart, we understand to a point. We are just glad you are alive and ok." Charlie told me.

"I'm better now than I ever have." I said with a smile and I leaned more into Alastor.

I saw Charlie and Vaggie smile in the corner of my vision.

"So, what do you plan to do now?" Vaggie asked.

"I honestly don't know. I guess I have to figure that out." I said looking down at my lap.

Lizzy then walked up to me besides the couch. "Heart, we still need to clean up our stuff in your room. Will you come up and help me?"

I looked up at her. "Oh yes. Let me help you out with that." I unwrapped Alastor's arm from myself and stood up.

"Good, after that we can head home." Lizzy said and started to walk to the stairs.

"Al why don't you stay down here and catch up with the girls?" I told him.

"That's perfectly fine my dearest. Do what you need to but I'm walking home with you." Alastor said to me sternly.

I smiled. "I'm looking forward to it." I then went and followed Lizzy up the steps.

She was way ahead of me, so she got to my room before I did. I walked into the bathroom and picked the blankets off the floor as she folded the ones she had in the tub.

"I know you're glad he's back, but I feel you shouldn't forgive him so easy." Lizzy said, breaking the silence as we worked.

I sighed. "I know but I honestly don't feel mad."

"Not yet." Lizzy corrected.

"I'll see but for now I'm just enjoying the moment." I told her.

"If you say so." Lizzy folded a blanket. "He isn't staying at the house by the way. He can visit but he can't stay."

I was mad that she didn't want Alastor over, but she was stubborn. Plus, technically the house was hers now, so I wanted to obey her rules.

"Fine. I'm not fully sure what I am doing yet anyway." I said as I folded. "Whether or not if I should stay home or come back to the hotel."

"Do what you think is best." Lizzy told me.

"Wherever Alastor goes, I will try and follow." I answered.

Lizzy looked at me. "Just don't follow him to deep." She warned.

I went silent at her words. What did she mean? Alastor wouldn't do anything crazy. At least I hope he wouldn't. Not with my life on the line.

Me and Lizzy finished cleaning up and put everything in a nice pile so they could collect it.

I went to the bed and grabbed my Alastor doll out from the covers. I held it to my chest. I then followed Lizzy out of the room and down the hallway back into the lobby. When we got to the top of the steps the girls were still talking to Alastor. They were laughing. This time though, I noticed that Angel was down by the couch and Russ was behind him. It seemed they came down and Angel was interested in talking to the deer demon. Russ seemed nervous though being near him.

We walked down the steps and up to the group.

"Seems like you guys are enjoying yourself." I said with a smile as I stood in front of them.

"We all missed Al." Angel said, punching Alastor in the arm lightly.

Alastor made a static noise. "Don't do that, again." He warned with a deep voice.

Russ wrapped his arms around Angel and held him. Russ was afraid of Alastor and wanted to keep control of Angel.

I gave a small chuckle. "Oh Al, I know you won't hurt Angel."

"Try me." Alastor said as he looked at me through slanted eyes.

I just stood my ground and continued to smile. I held my doll still close to myself.

"We're leaving." Lizzy told them.

"It was wonderful to have you guys back here." Charlie said as she got up from the couch. She walked to me and gave me a hug.

"I'm happy that you invited us in, Charlie. It was nice to be back in the hotel." I told her.

"You can come back anytime." Charlie said smiling.

"Thanks." I turned to Alastor. "Al are you going to walk with us?"

"Of course, my dear." Alastor stood up from the couch. "I would be happy to."

Alastor went up to me and stood next to me then wrapped his arm around my waist.

"I'll see all you guys later. It was nice to see everyone is still here." I told everyone.

"And we are glad to still have you around as well Heart." Vaggie said.

I looked away embarrassed. "You can thank Alastor for that." Leaning more into the deer demon next to me.

"And we do." Angel said. "I don't know what we would do without ya girl."

I felt a blush. "I'm glad to have friends like you. I'm sorry for doing something so selfish."

"It's ok babe." Angel reassured me. "You were in a dark spot and we couldn't really do anything to help."

"And I feel anything we would have done wouldn't have helped." Russ added as he still had his arms around Angel.

"I was and I'm sorry." I apologized.

I wasn't expecting it but then Angel, Russ Charlie and Vaggie walked up to me. Alastor stepped back and unwrapped his arm from my waist. They all went and hugged me together. I was so happy. I had amazing friends and I was glad they cared about me. It was honestly to good to be true. I started to cry.

"I don't know what I would do without you guys." I cried.

They all pulled away from the hug and just gave me a smile. After that we all said our goodbyes. Lizzy, Alastor and I all walked out of the hotel together and we walked home.

My hand was holding Alastor's as we walked down the sidewalk.

I was so happy. Alastor was back in my life. What happened between us and what we went through I never want to experience again. It was a dark time, especially for me. We had a rough spot. It was our first and I know we will hit more along the way. I was just going to appreciate the now and not worry too much about the future or the past. Just live in the now. Whatever happens though, I plan to face it with Alastor together. We will face everything that hell must throw at us...together.

Will I finish this story? Absolutely not! Do I have more in store? Absolutely yes! Stay tuned.
