Charlie was walking by herself. Thinking back on the conversation she had with Alastor earlier. He was being very insensitive in that moment. Could he really be relapsing? No! No way, Charlie didn't even want to consider that option. But deep down, she knew it was true. That something was wrong, and it was affecting everyone else. She didn't want to believe it, she didn't want to accept it. Things are already going wrong with Seviathan trying to take over hell. Problems among the group are the last thing she wants to happen. Though she still thought to try and talk things over with Alastor again. To make sure that there wasn't any resentment towards each other. Then something snapped her out of her deep thoughts. A familiar voice, coming from a distance.

"Charlie? We need to talk to you!" It was Vaggie, who was looking around for her with Angel. "It's important," she called out again.

"I'm over here!" Charlie called out. Vaggie and Angel walked over to her. "What's going on?"

"It's Alastor, there's something wrong with the guy!" Angel replied. The moth girl nodded.

"He was acting very off, we heard him talking to himself in his room. It was creepy. Does he usually talk to himself?"

Charlie thought for a moment. "Not that I can recall, but still, what's the big deal?Talking to yourself isn't that weird."

"Come on Charlie, me and Angel can be the only ones that realize there is something wrong with Alastor. First what happened at training, now this creepy shit!" Vaggie exclaimed.

"Vags has a point Charlie, the guy's been acting strange. I mean, he's an asshole sometimes, but not that much of an asshole if you get what I'm sayin'," Angel chimed in.

"Guys I get it, he's acting weird and creepy, but doesn't he do that all the time? Trust me, me and Al have known each other for a long time. He's just not himself, that's all. There's nothing we should worry about," Charlie said reassuringly, but Vaggie only began to get more agitated.

"Nothing to worry about?! He almost hurt us, Charlie!"

"But he apologized, didn't he?"

"Well he did, but-"

"It didn't seem like a real apology. I bet he only apologized because you told him to," Angel said, finishing Vaggie's sentence.

"But he apologized, so that should be the end it. Nothing is wrong with Alastor. If there is something wrong, then I'll know. He's my boyfriend after all," Charlie replied.

Angel's tone of voice was starting to get more frustrated. "Charlie we don't need to be in a relationship with that guy to know something is wrong. Even Husk was mumbling something about him relapsing or something-"

"Nothing is wrong!" Charlie shouted. "Alastor is not relapsing, there is nothing wrong with him, he's just not himself! I know you guys are upset about him dropping you, but that doesn't give you a reason to make Alastor seem like a bad guy!"

"Did someone call my name?" Everyone turned to see Alastor standing beside them. "I heard my name being called out several times, so I popped in to see what was going on, and happened to see Charlie yelling. My dear is there something that is upsetting you?"

Charlie took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Everything is fine Al, there's absolutely nothing to worry about.

"Actually, something is wrong. Charlie, however, is in complete denial," Angel grumbled.

"Don't you trust us Charlie? We're your friends! Something is seriously wrong with Alastor!" Vaggie begged for Charlie to listen, but she shook her head.

"As I have said. There is nothing wrong with him. I don't know what you both saw or heard, but you're most likely overreacting," Charlie said firmly. Alastor interrupted.

"Pardon, but I haven't a clue what is happening right now."

"Vaggie and Angel think you've been acting off lately."

"Ha! None sense! Nothing is wrong with me."

"We heard you talking to yourself Al!" Vaggie blurted out. Angel followed.

Yeah, that's pretty freaky. Also, Husk thinks that you might even be relapsing for all we know-"

"Which he isn't." Charlie cut Angel off, still in denial.

"I'm not saying he's relapsing Charlie, I'm say it's a possibility! Good fuck, you're being unbearable!" Vaggie was about to tear her hair out.

"Al, is there something bothering you that you're not telling us about?" Angel asked Alastor, but Charlie answered for him.

"He's fine!" Vaggie was getting even more annoying with her.

"Charlie, I swear to Lucifer if you don't shut your fucking mouth!" It was apparent the tension was escalating, no, skyrocketing up to a point someone was probably going to get a punch in the face or a pot to the head. The radio demon scoffed.

"You too need calm yourselves. You're acting more childish than earlier with the dropping incident." Vaggie looked at Alastor, fire burning in her eyes.

"It could've hurt us you fucking piece of shit!"

"Well, it didn't. Stop overreacting, your voices are annoying me."

"Also that, he's usually never this mean to us. I'm starting to think he is relapsing," Angel chimed in. Charlie followed suit.

"For the last time, Alastor is not relapsing! He is fine! You are fine! Everything and everyone is fine!"

"Get your head out of your fucking ass Charlie, and actually listen to what we're trying to say!" Charlie and Vaggie were practically screaming at each other at point blank range.

Alastor had about enough of all the yelling and the back and forth banter between them. He couldn't take it anymore.

"Maybe I am relapsing! Maybe I am going back to my old evil ways! Better yet, maybe I'm just sick and tired of every single one of you degenerate, low class scum!" He huffed and stormed out of the room. It was silent for a moment, but then Vaggie spoke up.

"Still convinced he's just "not himself?" That we're just overreacting?"

"Guys look-"

"You know what? I don't even need a response. You've already shown how stubborn you are." Vaggie turns to walk away from Charlie. "After this is over, consider us no longer friends." Angel took one last look at Charlie before following behind Vaggie. Charlie was now left standing alone, gathering her thoughts.

After a minute or so she took a deep breath and went to go look for Alastor.
