They arrived to many worried faces. Selena's body still had blood covering it, and she insisted on bringing the chains that bound her to the hotel. Ryan was being carried over Alastor's shadow's shoulder. "Aunty, you're back!" She looked at who they brought with them. "And with Ryan!" She grabbed Ryan from the shadow's grasp. She set him down. "Aunty! You're bleeding!" She ran to her wounded aunt.
"Not anymore." She held up her wrists to show two completely healed arms; she pointed to her feet showing the healed wounds. After disclosing her healthy condition, Angel tackled her with a hug. She gave a soft laugh and patted his back. "Now. now. Angel. Don't blame yourself. I made the choice to switch places. I wanted to free you from your nightmares. Unfortunately, I didn't kill them nor get the information I needed to free you." Angel pulled away. He saw her disappointed look.
"Ya'd do that for me?" He wanted to cry but stood firm.
"Of course! Anything for a friend! But why don't you tell me more about your contract later, okay?" Her grin was so pure and genuine. It made Alastor's heart skip its undead rhythm, but it made his stomach twinge.
"Hello, whore. I will get my Angie back. With or without you in my way." The group turned looking for the source of Val's voice. Only when the cute little Fat Nuggets came walking down the stairs did they find the source. "He's mine!"
Selena stood between Angel and Nuggies. "Angel belongs to himself and no one else. Touch him, and I'll kill you!"
"Hate to break it to you, bitch, but I'm already dead." the demonic pig gave off an unsettling laughter. Ryan awoke to the noise.
"Yes. But sending your soul to oblivion would be my pleasure. Ending you eternally is something only myself and Lucifer are capable of." She walked towards the pig. "I thought the pornstar we met filled you in, but you've known his location all along, haven't you? Using what I know, I assume it is your gift to him as a spy. It's quite a clever move I commend you, but what is stupid is that you showed me your cards." She waved her fingers and a squeal of pain from Nuggies caused the communication to be cut short. She then picked up the pig and chanted something in a low voice. A pink seal shattered around Fat Nuggets and he went limp.
"I broke the spell allowing Val to spy on you. He should wake up soon. It must have drained his cute little body." As Selena moved to give Angel Fat Nuggets, Alastor got his hands on the piggy.
"Well why has there been a delicious slice of pork hiding from me?" Selena took the pig back.
"'Cause I didn't want you nomming on the precious boy." She nuzzled the sleeping pig and handed him to Angel Dust.
"Fine." It was his only response. He didn't want to anger her and make her take back her promise to allow him to woo her. He wanted her to fall head over heels for him as she had made him. Madly. To the point where the world made no sense without her.
She seemed disappointed that that was the end of the conversation. Why was she disappointed? He had to wonder.
"Well, let's get everyone rested and cleaned up for tonight!" Selena used that to exit and prepare for their night at the club in only a few hours.
