Let's have some sister dramas. Something might come out here!

Ch 7: Sister Impacts

After my date night with Alastor another three months went by. All I can say is that it's been the greatest time in hell I've ever had. All thanks to this one demon. Our relationship was still a secret, but that was fine with me though. The right time will come for those to know.

Although recently I noticed I've been down about something lately. I was starting...to miss my sister a little. Many times, I thought about going back to my home and stopping by to see her but...I just couldn't get the guts for it. Besides, I honestly started to think; if Lizzy hasn't gone out looking for me, that just shows me that she probably never did care about me. I loved my sister but if she didn't want to show that love back to me, it hurt slightly. Maybe it was something I had to face. I mean, fuck, my parents didn't even know I've been down here for the last 75 years. What's a whole lifetime?

Besides, I saw my life in hell. It was standing in front of me. He was kissing me deeply up against his hotel room door. A fantasy? No, a reality. I wanted to greet him this nice morning at his room before I went off to help around the hotel. Before I even knocked on his door, he had pulled me inside and pushed me up against his door.

Alastor finally pulled away, letting me catch my breath. "Good morning my love." He purred as he cupped my cheek.

I gave a small chuckle. "Good morning, Al. My I ask where this came from?" I asked him as I pointed to his lips. The kiss was so random.

Alastor gave a devilish smile. "Let's say I dreamed about kissing you all night. I couldn't wait another moment."

He now made me blush. Did he really dream about me? He could have been making that up just so it's an excuse to get a reaction out of me. Either way, it was sweet. He chuckled at me.

"I seem to have made you speechless. Cat got your tongue?" He asked jokingly.

I just gave him a smile. "No, but I can say a deer does." I leaned back up and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek.

Alastor let out one of his little radio laughs as he fixed his monocle. "You know how to get to me my dear."

I giggled. "Now, as much as I'd like to stay with you all day, I have stuff I need to get done." I reached for his door, but I was stopped when arms wrapped around me. "Al." I groaned. "I'll be with you tonight. I promise."

Alastor let go of me and I opened the door, but he grabbed my hand as I was halfway out into the hallway. "May I ask you something?" He started.

"Sure. What is it?" I wondered.

"Would you like to sleep in my room tonight? With me?" Alastor asked, he seemed confident when he asked, but then again, he could just be masking it that he was nervous to ask me this.

I had to think a moment. If he was asking me, that means he was probably comfortable with it or at least wanted to see how it would be. I was taking everything at HIS own pace. I was letting HIM take the reins for everything. I wanted him to be ok with his own comfort level. Him asking me...well that means that he was ready.

He must have noticed I was lost in thought. "Did I break you?"

I snapped out of it, "No no, I'm ok. Was just surprised by the question." He was still holding my hand, so I took my other hand and covered his. "I wouldn't mind at all sleeping in your room tonight. I'll be happy to."

Alastor's grin grew bigger. "Wonderful!"

Our moment was broken when I heard someone running down the hallway. I looked and saw it was Charlie.

"Heart!" She waved and then came up to me, "Heart, I have something to tell you." She started.

Alastor let go of my hand and I turned my attention to the demon princess. "What's wrong Charlie?" I asked.

"Well, how do I put this, um," She took a pause. "You have a visitor?"

I was surprised, "Me? Are you sure?"

"They asked for you directly. They are waiting outside. I invited them in, but they refused to take a step in here." Charlie told me.

My mind was trying to think. Who would be here for me? I knew no one. There was only one demon I could think of that would know me. Lizzy. But how did she find me? Also why was she here? What did she want?

I let out a small sigh, "Ok I'll go greet them."

"Do you want me to go with you?" Alastor asked me as I started to walk.

I turned to look back at him. "No, if it is who I think it is, I should be ok."

Alastor bowed. "As you wish."

Charlie and I started to walk down the hallway together. We walked down the steps and to the door.

Charlie grabbed my shoulder. "Are you sure you'll be ok? They looked...pissed."

I nodded, "If I need help. I'll let you know, but I'm hoping it won't come to that."

Charlie nodded and backed up a little from the door.

I took a breath and opened the door and stepped outside. I didn't see anyone at first. But I then saw a figure not far away leaning against the poll of the hotel. A female white wolf demon with a red underbelly, a star tattooed on each of her outer thighs, her tail was white at the tip but had different colors going up it; red, dark red then black. Her hair was white but had some black highlighted bangs and a few piercings in both her ears. She wore a ripped tube top with a leather jacket and ripped shorts that covered just her upper thighs. She was there smoking a cigarette.

When I stepped over to her she looked up and smiled. "Well fuck me till I'm blue. You are here." She blew out her cigarette smoke and threw the bud to the ground and stepped on it. "I should have known to look here first, knowing you Heart."

"It's nice to see you to sister." I greeted, crossing my arms.

"I'll tell you what. You're a lot harder to find than I thought." Lizzy said as she walked away from the poll and stood in front of me.

"You were...looking for me?" I asked amazed.

"Not at first, but I didn't notice you were gone since I never saw you much to begin with." Lizzy

I figured that would be her answer. I let her continue.

"Soon I noticed that more and more of your stuff was gone, but I still smelled your scent around the house. When your scent started to fade, I knew that something was up." She took out another cigarette and lit it.

"How did you know I was here?" I wondered.

"At first it wasn't easy. I looked at some places in the city. Quiet places. Places that didn't have many people. Even your favorite coffee shop. Nowhere." She took a puff, "Until I found out about this place."

Lizzy went into her pocket and pulled out a piece of paper and showed it to me. I took it looked at it closely. It was a flyer I had helped Charlie make for the hotel to get some more business.

"I don't understand how you got I was here from this?" I told her, folding up the flyer again.

Lizzy let out a laugh. "Shit sister, I know you." She looked at me sternly. "Always talking about how you hate it here. How you didn't belong here. You wanted to be in heaven away from all this shit. All that stuff I heard you whisper to yourself at night for the last few years I've been living with you." She took another hit from her cigarette. "When I heard this place was a place for redemption and trying to be good so you can repent. I put the puzzle pieces together quickly." She took another hit but blew it into my face.

Her smoke didn't affect me. I know she was just trying to intimidate me. Get a reaction out of me. I didn't want her to get to me.

"It's true I came here for redemption. That was the plan." I told her calmly.

"You know, you were always the goody to shoes. Miss. Perfect." She spit at my feet. She then took off her leather jacket. "I've hated you for that, but guess what Perfect? You still ended up down here. Know what that means?" She finished her cigarette. "You're just as fucked up as anyone else here." She flicked the bud at me. It bounced off my arm and fell to the ground.

"Lizzy if all you're going to do is come here and mock me then I am going to have to ask you to leave." I said, my eyes not leaving hers.

To think...I was missing her. Not now. Sometimes I forget how much of a bitch she can actually be. Especially to me.

She laughed at me. "I didn't come here for that, dumbshit. I came to make up your mind about all this."

"Make up my mind?" I was confused.

"About this shit show of a hotel you call home right now!" She yelled as she gestured up to the building.

"This place isn't a shit show, thank you very much." I looked towards the door. "It's a place full of misfits and people who don't fit in sure. But it's not what you think. It's better than that." I tried to explain.

"Misfits?" Lizzy huffed and she waved her hands at me. "Listen Heart. I came here to take you back home. Forget about this."

"Lizzy. I can't do that. I belong here now." I had an idea. "You know, you can always check in here to. You just have to play nice. If you just-" I started but she got angry and interrupted.

"Stay here! Who the fuck do you think I am?!" She yelled.

"You're my little sister and I still try to look out for you as best I can!" I shouted.

"Fuck you. You never looked out for me. I'm your half-sister may I remind you as well?" Lizzy grunted.

Then, before I could even react, Lizzy jumped at me. I wasn't expecting it at all. She pinned me down and punched my face a few times. I managed to push her off me, but she stood on all fours now growling at me. Lizzy could go from an anthro form to feral form with ease.

"Lizzy, I don't want to do this." I told her with my hands up.

"To bad." She jumped at me again, but I ducked in time and she jumped over me.

I didn't like to do this. I didn't want many people to know. I can transform into a feral form of myself. If I wanted to have a chance of fighting off Lizzy, it was my only option.

I got down on all fours and soon I started to get covered in black fur. My hands and feet turned into paws. My clothes would be ripped when I got out of this form, but I didn't care. I was in wolf form, but my wings still stood out of my back and my horns on my head. Lizzy looked at me and growled again.

I jumped at her and we tumbled around on the ground a moment. Teeth and claws going everywhere, barks and screeches we let out as we rolled. She left a few scratches on me but I put a few bite marks in her.

We must have been making enough noise because the door of the hotel opened and Charlie and Vaggie stood in the doorway.

I pinned down Lizzy, but she managed to push me off.

"Lizzy! Stop this! I don't want to do this with you!" I yelled at her.

"Not until you let go of this fantasy of yours!" She growled and ran at me again.

I flapped my wings to make myself jump up and I landed on her back and pinned her down to the ground.

I looked down at Lizzy "It's not fantasy! I'm here for a different reason now besides rehabilitation. I can't come home with you even if I wanted to." I told her.

"What other reason would you have to stay here!?" She used a lot of strength and managed to push me off her. I used my wings to hover a moment. "What crazy reason would you have!?"

I looked to the doorway again. I saw that we had made enough noise that everyone was now outside. Then I saw him in the back...Alastor. I never wanted to have him see me like this, guess it was too late now though. I turned back to Lizzy and landed on the ground.

"I've made friends here! I even met someone that actually cares about me!" I bared my teeth.

"Someone cares about you? Don't make me laugh!" Lizzy slashed out her paw and scratched my front left leg. I yelped in pain and picked up my injured leg. Lizzy took the chance and rammed herself into my side, making me fly back. I landed with a thud on my side.

"Give up sister! You know I have always been a better fighter than you." Lizzy gloated as she stalked over to me.

"I'll never give up. Not to you." I told her trying to sit up.

Lizzy stood on her two legs and kicked me. "No one cares about you here."

"Yes, they do." I breathed once I got my breath back.

"I care about you!" She kicked me again. She sure had a funny way of showing it.

I then saw out of the corner of my eye, Alastor was not happy. People had stepped away from him. I saw the world around him distort and fill with static and his eyes glowing ever brighter.

Lizzy grabbed me by my neck fur and picked me up. I was just dead weight. I saw her reach back and try to punch me, but she had stopped and then I fell to the ground as she dropped me. Something stopped her. Or I should say, someone.

A pink aura had surrounded Lizzy. I automatically knew who it was. Alastor.

"What the fuck!" She looked down at herself then back to me. "What the fuck did you do to me?"

I managed to get back up on my paws and looked to see Alastor had stepped out from behind everyone and had a clawed hand raised at Lizzy. I appreciated him helping me, but I needed to finish this. Without his help.

"Alastor please!" I looked at him fully into his glowing eyes. "Let her go! This is my fight. She is my sister, let me handle it!" I saw that Alastor was hesitant, but I slowly watched him lower his hand and the pink aura around Lizzy disappeared. His crimson eyes went back to normal, but I saw that he was angered still.

Lizzy caught her breath and looked at me. "You bitch. Having someone interfere with this."

"I would never. He acted on his own accord. You know I always wanted to fight fair." I growled.

Lizzy was back on four paws, "And you know...that I fight dirty." She kicked up some dirt in my face and tackled me back down.

I was expecting her attack again, but she didn't. I tried to get the dirt out of my eyes. When I got most of it the best I could I saw her smirk at me and then turn towards everyone by the doorway of the hotel. I saw her run after them. Out of everyone there, she chose him. Even though he just had her in his grasp, she wasn't afraid of him at all. She headed towards Alastor.

No!

I quickly got up. Pushing past the pain and me not being able to see that well. I ran at her. I know Alastor could take care of himself, but I didn't want him to harm my sister. Using my wings to give me more speed, I pushed off the ground. "Leave him alone!" I yelled and landed on top of her again to stop her in her tracks.

I got off her and stood in front of Alastor, my teeth showing, and I growled deeply. "Stay away from him." I warned and opened my wings and my fur started standing up so I could intimidate.

Lizzy stood up on wobbly paws. "You don't scare me. Nor does he. Don't fool me sister."

She jumped but tried to jump over me, but I knew she would, so I got my paws underneath her and threw her back instead. She couldn't get footing, so she fell on her side.

"I said leave him alone!" I yelled and ran up to her.

She stood back up "Why are you protecting him!? He's just another demon who doesn't give a shit."

"That's not true!" I got to her and put my paws on her and pushed her, this time with claws out.

She was trying to hold me back. "Then why are you protecting HIM?" She demanded again and managed to push me away from her.

She had finally got me to far now, I let it slip. "BECAUSE I LOVE HIM!" I screamed.

There was a silence and I heard a few gasps.

Oh shit.

The cat got out of the bag. My ears fell back in fear. I was afraid to look back at anyone. Especially at Alastor. We promised to keep ourselves a secret till we felt it was ready. Guess that won't happen now.

"I'm sorry Al." I apologized in my mind.

All Lizzy did was laugh. "Your fucking me right!? Tell me your joking." She laughed again and I looked at her with slanted eyes. "You're supposed to be here for rehabilitation, right?" She huffed. "What happens when that's over, huh? When your 'redeemed!?' Guess what? You'll be leaving him behind you stupid fuck. He won't go with you. How's that supposed to work?"

I took a moment. My head cast down at the ground. When my rehabilitation...was over?

She was right. If I finished my rehabilitation here, then I'd be free. I could escape here, and I could go to heaven. At the same thought though...I'm leaving Alastor behind. I also know that Alastor will never redeem himself either, it's just how he was. He liked it here. He was gifted.

My heart broke at the thought. I couldn't do that. Not to him.

"Didn't think that one through now, did ya sweetheart?" Lizzy mocked.

I shook my head in anger. I looked up at my sister. "Leave, Lizzy. Now!" I stomped my paw on the ground.

Tears filled my eyes.

She huffed and stood back up on two paws. "Fine. I'll leave. If you want to come back though. You know where to find me." She grabbed her leather jacket where she left it and ran off up the street until I couldn't see her anymore.

My tears finally started to fall. My legs began to shake, I sat down on my hunches. My crying got harder and it shook my body.

Why? Why did she have to come? Why was she so insistent on finding me? I didn't understand. She came here and made me fight back. Pushed me too far. She made me start to think of my reasons for being here.

Rehabilitation.

I was doing it, I made progress. This probably pushed me down a few notches. I didn't care. I probably shouldn't be here anyway. After falling in love with Alastor. Lizzy made me realize that I shouldn't be here anymore. At the same time though, I still wanted to stay and help. I helped Charlie so much. I couldn't leave that. After all this though, would she still want me around? If I told her I wanted to stop my rehabilitation, would she still let me stay here.

My thoughts were broken when I felt a hand being placed on my head. The hand slowly stroked my fur. I looked up and behind me to see Alastor. Seeing him, made me cry harder.

"I'm sorry, Alastor." Was all I was able to get out in a whisper.

I looked back at the others and they all were looking at me. Some the face of shock. I didn't know what to think. I could only imagine what they were thinking of me. Thinking of us. I started to feel my anxiety from everyone looking at me.

I darted back into the hotel. I ran past everyone.

I heard Charlie call my name, "Heart come back!" But I didn't listen. I kept running.

When I was running down the hallway I transformed back to normal form. I got to my room slammed the door shut and locked it. I didn't want to face anyone today. Not after all this. I put my head in my knees and cried.

I looked at my arm and it was throbbing from the scratches Lizzy left me. All of me ached. I stood up and took off my clothes, discarding them piece at a time as I headed to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw that I had a bruise on my cheek as well as a few small scratches all over me. I ran the shower and then just stepped in. The warm water felt good on my aching body. I watched as my blood ran down the drain from my wounds. My tears still fell down my face, but in the shower, you wouldn't be able to tell. I put my back against the cold tile of the shower. I wrapped my wings around me.

"I'm sorry Al. I'm so sorry I broke our promise." I cried.

I slid down until I was sitting in the tub of the shower. I could just imagine what everyone thought. I'm sure Alastor wasn't happy with me either. Why did my sister have to show up and do this to me? My life was finally looking up, now I feel like I've crashed back down, and I've died again. I might as well have.

(Third Person POV) [Back outside]

They all watched as Heart ran back into the hotel and up the stairs. This turn of events had really upset her. All of it being too much. From her sister showing up to her accidentally letting out a secret. No one wanted to follow her. Alastor didn't even follow, but he really wanted to. She needed to cool off and be alone. Alastor would give her space.

When Heart had disappeared, they all turned their attention to Alastor. He just stood there like nothing was the matter. Although, deep down, he was concerned.

The ice was broken when Angel spoke first, "So did ya fuck yet?"

"No." Alastor quickly used his magic and flung Angel back and into a set of bushes not far off.

Angel yelled in surprise from the action. As he laid in the bushes he said, "Ya virgin prick."

Husk went to the bush to help Angel, but he laughed at him the entire time.

Vaggie walked up to Alastor with a glare. "I still don't trust you. Even after all that Charlie tells me. That fact that Heart did all that to protect you when she didn't need to. I find that suspicious. What game are you playing?"

Charlie went up to Vaggie and grabbed her hand. "Vaggie come on just-" but she got cut off by Vaggie.

Vaggie took her hand away from Charlie, "No! I don't like this! Especially to a girl like Heart. She's too innocent for someone like. Him." Vaggie gestured to the deer demon.

"Are you saying I'm not good enough for someone like her?" Alastor asked with a raised eyebrow. That one hurt him a little, but he didn't show it.

"I'm saying you're not good enough for anyone because you do everything for your own selfish gain." Vaggie pointed at him with a stern look. "You are using that girl just so you can feel special. Guess what, Alastor? You're not! Don't use innocent souls just so you can feel love for the first time ever in your life. You heartless bastard." She turned and stormed off into the hotel.

Alastor watched Vaggie walk away. He tried to not let the Moth girl demon's words affect him. She just didn't understand. Everything he did was true, but it was just a side of himself he never knew he had. He still is trying to get the hang of it. Affection. A new thing for him, but he seemed to be doing pretty good so far. Heart loved him and that he knew was true.

"I'll prove you wrong." Alastor whispered.

Charlie walked up to the Radio Demon. "Alastor, I'm sorry Vaggie just snapped at you like that."

"No worries my dear." Alastor said waving her off. "She just doesn't understand."

Charlie sighed. "Don't worry, I'm sure she'll change her mind after a little while."

"I don't see her changing her mind dearie. Although, it would probably make it easier after it does." Alastor admitted.

Charlie almost felt bad for the guy. All he wanted was to love freely and not be judged by his title and his past. Sure, Alastor liked to show off sometimes and talk, but she knew that he did deeply care about Heart.

Husk eventually got Angel out of the bush and Angel tried to pick off some leaves from himself. He walked up to Alastor with anger. "You have a lot of nerve strawberry boy." But then his expression changed to a seductive look. "You know if you need any help at all with seduction. You know where to find me." He gave Alastor a wink and walked inside.

"Not going to happen." Alastor said as Angel walked.

"God you are so lame!" Angel said as he threw his arms in the air in frustration.

Husk didn't have much to say unfortunately. Alastor was his 'friend' so he at least gave him some words. "Good luck." That was all he said and walked back into the hotel.

Charlie was the only one left standing outside with Alastor now.

"Just so you know, with this now, you guys don't have to be behind closed doors." Charlie said and that made Alastor smile. "Especially that kitchen door," Charlie started to walk back inside on that, "There's no lock on that." Charlie said jokingly over her shoulder.

Alastor chuckled at that thought. That kitchen was more magical with Heart in it. Less lonely. He was glad to have her around. That smile in the corner of the kitchen he would take over anything any day.

Alastor realized that maybe he should check on the poor girl. So, he headed inside and closed the door behind him. He walked past the kitchen and heard some yelling, sounded like Vaggie. Hopefully she wasn't ruining the pots and stuff in there. He walked up the stairs and slowly down the hallway. His heels clicked on the hard floor as he walked. He soon arrived at Heart's door. He didn't know of her condition, but he had to see her. He checked the doorknob first. Locked. She did want people out.

Alastor then tried to knock. "Heart my dearest, may I come in?" He waited a moment but got no answer. He got no noise of feet going across the floor. He knocked again. "I would really like to see you to make sure you're alright." Again, Alastor got no answer.

He put his ear up against the door to see if he could hear anything on the other side. He heard water running. Was she getting a shower? Alastor was still worried about her wellbeing and her injuries. Normally he wouldn't do this, but he was afraid for her, especially since she was not answering him.

Using a shadow, he made it go under the door and unlock it from the inside. He heard a click and then turned the doorknob. When he entered inside, he saw a trail of clothes that led up to the bathroom door. It was open ajar, and steam was coming out. The water could still be heard running. Alastor slowly made his way to the door.

So that he wouldn't invade her privacy, unless necessary, he stood by the door and gave it a gentle knock. "Sweetheart are you ok?"

He heard a sniffle and the sound of the slippery tub with someone standing up. The water then turned off.

All he heard was his name. "Alastor?"
