This was a cheerful and bright morning in Pentagram City. Demons were waking up after a grand wedding of the century, that Alastor organized. The young couple was pretending that they had the best time of their lives too. Angel Dust had travel bags in all of his six arms, he took the one of his new wife too.
As he was packing them to the taxi, Daria was hugging their parents for the last time.
- Have fun, Daria. - Her mother was beyond excited. - Send us a lot of photos!
While they couldn't travel anywhere far, since they both were sinners, Charlie did help Alastor find a relatively nice spot in a nearby city, close to the capital. It had everything that rich demon could wish for entertainment and indeed was mostly inhabited by the wealthy ones. Similar to human's Las Vegas or other tourist traps, it was full of casinos and bars. In fact, Husk once lived there until Alastor made him a bartender in Happy Hotel, making a grumpy cat even more angry.
- Take good care of Deerie, my son. - Al smiled wide. - And make sure you won't come across any of your family there.
He added that with a little more threatening tone. While the wedding went well, the radio demon was still unhappy about the sudden interruption of Black Widow. And Some of the other mob members of the Ragnatela family were more than happy to spend their time in a gambling district of Hell. Everybody knew that.
- Sure, "dad". - Tony sigh. - Seriously Al, just give up. I won't call you that.
Alastor only put his arms behind his back, smirking.
- Give it time.
He turned to his daughter again.
- Darling, I'm so happy for you. - He kissed her cheek.
- Thank you, dad. - She smiled sheepishly. It was time for yet another lie. - I'm very happy!
Spider looked back at her. What an actress she turned out to be. yesterday, she didn't even come back to the bedroom and now she came to his side to float a bit in the air and give him a small sign. He was confused at first, only to quickly recognize what she wanted from him. He kissed her. This was the beginning of their honeymoon after all.
When they finally departed, he could see that the young doe was still waving goodbye to her parents. She only stopped after 10 minutes or so, when she could barely see them anymore.
For the rest of the trip she didn't even bother to say a word to him.
- Daria… - He tried to say something, but she looked sad, so he shut up.
Was he even supposed to say after all?
They both were guilty of their current fate, but he was in Hell much longer than she. Fact he never bothered himself with laws and politics of the place didn't really excuse him.
Daria on the other hand couldn't even find the right words to express how she felt right now. She was glad to help a friend, someone who became like a family to her, down here, but for what cost? She stole away his freedom, and her goal was to give it back to him. True that, as Valentino's puppet he never had much of it but he was now tied to some girl, no doubt completely against his wishes.
And she was supposed to give him an heir because his deranged father butt into their deal? She was not prepared to spend her eternity with a fake husband like Tony. She was a wife of a mafia boss's son now. And while Angel Dust was always nice and gentle to her, she knew this was not romantic love. And it had no right to become it. She didn't want it to be.
Taxi finally reaches its destination and the couple enter the hotel lobby. It was nothing like the Happy Hotel, but it was also quite decorative and expensive looking. No doubt the room there was booked as a generous gift from her father.
When they open the room it turns out to be a newlyweds apartment. Of course, it only made sense, it didn't mean she got any more comfortable with it.
