Tiny time skip and some crazy stuff
Also, I know the one part would never happen, but I threw it in because I'm just a huge fangirl XD
Ch 10: A Year in The Hotel
Four months went by so fast; it was like a flash. My days were always amazing. I helped Charlie out the best I could. Vaggie seemed to be coming around more, especially warming up to Alastor a little bit. Niffty always was trying to look out for me and help me out when I needed it. Angel was still...well Angel. And Husk was still a drunk asshole. I had amazing friends, even if some didn't really want to say they were. I was happy here. For once in my life, in the rotting hole that's called hell, I was happy. I was enjoying myself.
Lizzy kept her promise and did come to visit me at the hotel now and then. It's probably the closest my sister and I have ever been since she arrived down here as well. I still couldn't convince her to stay at the hotel, but she was stubborn. To be honest though, I wouldn't want her to now, I need her here with me as well. I loved my sister. We played games, laughed and talked like we used to. I missed her. I missed having my real sister. We got along so well when we were alive. She was annoying now and then, but what sibling isn't. I still wanted to look out for her. She looked out for me too.
Alastor seemed to warm up to her a little as well, but still was cautious when she was around.
Everything was amazing. I couldn't ask for anything better.
The extermination happened as well. I've been through them a couple times. I made sure to lock myself away in my home. Keep hidden. Stay quiet. Make sure Lizzy was safe as well. I remember the screams though as they echoed through the city. I would hold my ears through it all. I couldn't take the screams. This time though. I was safe. I stayed in Alastor's room that day, wrapped up beside him under his covers. He told me he would protect me if any angels came. I knew I would be ok. I knew everyone was safe in the hotel. Lizzy was too, I helped her board up the house the day before it happened. Made sure she had her normal hiding spot. When it was over, I finally looked outside and sighed in relief. Charlie took it hard still though, the poor girl. She didn't want this to keep happening, it still broke her heart. I watched her cry the next morning for a good bit. I stayed with her though and made sure to comfort her the best I could.
With the extermination out of the way. It would be a whole year before it came again. At least I knew I would always be safe from it all.
I woke up today jumping out of bed almost. I stretched a little then went to take my shower.
Today was the day I came to the hotel a year ago.
A year? Man, it seems like only yesterday I arrived here. Of course, I came in with different intentions then I do now. My purpose from before was to reform myself. Go into heaven. Happy ever after. Right? Well, not anymore. My purpose was to help Charlie run the hotel as best I could. Keep people happy, help them with their rehabilitation, clean when it is needed and make sure everyone stays out of trouble.
Then my other purpose for staying here. Why would anyone want to stay in hell? Well I found my main reason. Alastor. Yes, The Radio Demon overlord still had my heart and he held it close. I knew I had a hold on him as well. I remember walking back to the hotel one night from one of our dates and Alastor basically ripped apart a dinosaur looking demon for looking at me and slapping my ass as we walked by him. It was gruesome. I wasn't that big on that stuff, but I will admit that I did enjoy seeing it when I knew Alastor did it for a reason. No touching, that was his job. I was his. It made me smile when he would protect me from demons. Maybe he was just rubbing off on me. I would never get enough of it though.
I got out of the shower and managed to get dressed. I made sure my stuff was in my pockets before heading to the door. When I opened it though, I saw Alastor standing there already. He made me jump in surprise.
"Al! I hate when you do that. You're going to kill me one of these days." I told him, holding my beating heart, hoping it would slow down.
All Alastor did was chuckle. "Darling you should know by now that you should always expect me anywhere at any time." He reminded me with a smirk.
I groaned, "Yea I know."
Alastor laughed and then looked at my hand and laid a kiss on top of it. "How are you this morning my little wolf?" He asked.
"Excited." I answered right away.
Alastor took a step closer to me, "Oh, and why might that be?" He wrapped an arm around me.
"Al, I told you." I wrapped my arms around him. "It's been a whole year since I came to the hotel."
Alastor was surprised. "A year? Time flies when you're having fun." He gave a small growl at the last part.
I laughed. "I agree. I will say though, the year that has gone by has definitely been the most interesting." I looked up at him lovingly.
He looked down at me with a big smile. "Interesting you say? How so?"
"Does falling for a crazy, psychopathic, deer demon overlord count?" I chuckled.
"That is very interesting indeed." He put his face closer to mine. "Do you think that crazy deer demon has fallen for you too?"
"I hope he does." I said, sounding hopeful playing along.
"Oh, believe me my dear, he most certainly does." Alastor leaned down and then kissed me on the lips.
My mind exploded and my tail wagged. When he would surprise me with a kiss like that it always made me swoon.
Our kiss was interrupted with a fake cough, "Can you stop sucking each other's faces already!?"
It was Angel.
We pulled apart and looked up at the spider demon as he stood a little way down the hall from us and had both sets of arms crossed.
Angel walked up to us. "Alastor you were supposed to come up and get Heart, not seduce her."
"I'm afraid that wouldn't happen my friend, but thanks for the thought." Alastor laughed at him. "My apologies for falling behind."
Angel rolled his eyes. "Whatever, will you just bring her downstairs already? We're waiting."
"You guys are waiting for me? For what?" I asked.
"It's a surprise." Angel whispered.
"We'll let's go!" I said and then quickly started down the hallway.
The two demons walked behind me.
I then heard Angel talk to Alastor, "Hey Al can I get a kiss like that?" The spider demon asked seductively.
Alastor gave a quick laugh "Only in your dreams!"
I then had a thought, I turned around to face them, walking backwards now. "I wouldn't mind seeing that." I winked.
Alastor froze a moment. "What?"
Angel stopped after I said that. "You're shitting me, right?"
I stopped as well and gave a chuckle. "No. I like watching you in your movies Angel. So, a kiss would be nothing for you."
"Well...yea. So, you're giving me permission to kiss him?" Angel asked pointing at himself and Alastor at the same time.
"Yea." I giggled.
Alastor was silent, I could see he was not sure.
"Al, just this once. It won't be bad. Please? For me?" I begged.
Alastor gave a sigh and pinched his nose a moment in annoyance. "One!" He said sternly. "Only because it's for you."
"That's all I ask." I said to him with a smile.
"This doesn't leave this hallway." Alastor warned both me and Angel.
"I promise." I put my hand up.
"Yea, whatever, I promise." Angel said.
"Alright. Let's see it then." I leaned against the wall.
Angel took no time and grabbed Alastor by his jacket. "I'm ready for my kiss big boy." He said seductively.
Alastor seemed lost at first but then seemed to play along as he wrapped his arms around Angel. "Only if you call me daddy." He said seductive as well.
Angel threw his arm upon his forehead for a dramatic effect, "Oh Daddy, please kiss me." Angel pleaded.
To my surprise, Alastor leaned down and kissed Angel. They stayed like that a few moments and then they pulled away from each other. Angel was surprised and looked lost in a daze for a moment. Alastor, well, looked a little uncomfortable.
I literally thought I was going to faint. That was so fucking sexy. I honestly couldn't handle it. I think my nose is starting to bleed. I put my hand up to my nose and pulled it away. Yep. That was all too sexy for me to handle.
"You aint that bad of a kisser, Al. I see why she likes it so much." Angel said with a grin.
Alastor pushed the spider demon away from him and fixed his clothes. Angel fixed his chest fluff by pushing it up.
Alastor cleared his throat. "This never happened. I did this for her and that was all that needs to be known."
"No worries. My lips are sealed." Angel said as he did a zipping motion with his fingers to his lips.
"Good, because if it doesn't-" Alastor started to distort the world around him.
Angel held his hands up in defense. "Ok ok I get it."
Alastor went back to normal then looked at me. "Darling are you alright?" He asked concerned.
"I'm fine." I answered quickly. "That was too sexy for me to handle."
Alastor chuckled, "Don't get used to it."
"I know. It won't be asked again. I only needed it that one time. I'm satisfied." I told him.
Alastor nodded. "Now. Let's head downstairs."
"Oh yea. I forgot everyone was waiting down there for us." Angel said.
We all started to walk again. He put all of what happened in the hallway behind us. My nose was still bleeding but not as bad. I think it could be an excuse for me being late.
We got to the end of the hallway and to the top of the steps. I saw everyone at the bottom of the steps. Charlie, Vaggie and Husk. Lizzy was even here, plus some other guests. As soon as I saw them, they all threw their arms up and said. "Happy one-year anniversary Heart!"
I was surprised, I was not expecting this at all. I walked down the steps and stood on the last few. "What's all this for?" I asked with a smile. I felt tears forming in the corner of my eyes.
Charlie walked up to me, "We wanted to have a little celebration for you for your one year here at the hotel. Especially since you have been such a big help as well." She told me with a smile.
I walked down to her and gave her a small hug "Thank you Charlie. That means a lot." I said, I tried to hold the tears back.
She pulled away from my hug. "Well it was mainly Alastor's idea as much as it was mine." Charlie admitted to me.
I looked back behind me and up at Alastor, who stood at the top of the stairs with Angel and he just looked at me with a soft smile. I just gave him a small smile back. I looked back at Charlie.
"Well let's get the party started!" I cheered.
Everyone cheered and I heard Alastor snap his fingers. His shadow friends came around and started to play music and the lights dimmed a little in the lobby. The music was almost like a live band and they played something that you could really dance to.
As everyone started to dance, I walked up to Lizzy and gave her a hug. "It's good to see you sister. Thanks for coming."
She pulled out of my hug. "I was happy too. Plus, there was no way I was missing a party." Lizzy said with a small laugh.
I laughed as well, "That doesn't surprise me that you came here just to party."
"No, I came here to see you. There just so happens to be a party." She said with a smirk.
I giggled. "I love you Lizzy."
She punched my arm lightly and playfully. "And I love you, big sister."
"Let's have some fun." I said.
"Now you're talking." Lizzy grabbed my hand and pulled me over to the other people dancing.
As I danced with Lizzy, I noticed that Alastor just stayed at the top of the steps. Like he was just watching over everyone. Observing. He probably wanted to make sure it was all safe. I looked away and just kept dancing.
The day seemed to go by. Charlie made sure that the drinking was to a minimum, so no one was crazy wasted. This hotel still wanted to keep some credibility. I was surprised they threw this all for me. I feel it was a little much but at the same time I knew they did it because they truly did care about me. It's amazing that in a year that I made such amazing friends. In hell of all places. It was hard for me to believe.
After a few songs I was just sitting at the bar. I figured I could have my one drink and be done. While I sat there, I felt the static in the air hit me. Then before I knew it, I felt arms wrap around me from behind. I calmed and melted into the embrace. I knew it was Alastor.
"Are you having fun my dear?" Alastor asked into my ear.
I turned my head slightly to look back at him. "I'm having a wonderful time. Thanks, Al."
"It was my pleasure." He unwrapped his arms and stood next to me. "Mind if I join you?" Gesturing to the bar stool next to me on the left.
"Not at all." I answered with a smile.
Alastor then sat down and had his body turned to me. I turned and faced him. I leaned forward and placed a kiss on his cheek.
"Everything is always better with you around." I told him with a smile.
I heard someone walk up to us, "Barf, can you not."
I looked over and saw Lizzy with a drink in her hand.
"Hi Lizzy."
"I always knew you were a hopeless romantic sister but actually seeing it." She fake gagged.
I laughed at her. "Oh please. I remember how you were when you dated, Victor." I said, raising my eyebrows.
He pointed a clawed finger at me, "Don't bring up Victor." She warned.
"Alright alright, I'm sorry. I know you still miss him." I apologize.
Lizzy sighed and sat down on the bar stool on the other side of me. "I still miss him. He was an idiot though. Drunk stupid ass. Going out on the extermination day."
I placed my hand on her shoulder. "Lizzy, I told you not to beat yourself up for it. I remember you did all you could to keep him inside."
Lizzy said nothing and just nodded. "I loved him so much."
"Lizzy, I'm sorry I brought him back up. I honestly forgot that you still hurt from it." I told her sadly.
"It's ok. I know. I just...never found anyone as amazing as Victor was." She looked at me. "Don't take this the wrong way, Heart. I'm actually jealous of you."
"Jealous?" I was wondering why she thought that.
"You have someone who loves you. Someone who has their head in the right place...for the most part. Plus, on top of everything, he's a demon overlord. Can't get more powerful or scarier than that. So at least you have someone to look out for you." I then saw her smile and let out a chuckle. "You definitely need it."
"Hey now that's a low blow." I said laughing and hitting her in the arm playfully.
"Victor wasn't like that. He drank too much for his own good, so he was an idiot. I still loved him though. He looked out for me, but not the way Alastor does for you. You have something good their sister. Don't let it slip." She finished her drink and put it on the bar. "Besides, this is probably the happiest I've seen you in years." Lizzy stood up from the bar and pulled out a cigarette. "I'll see ya, Charlie told me no smoking inside. Especially after the last time."
Lizzy turned and walked away so fast that I didn't even get the chance to say anything. I sighed and turned back in the stool. I put a hand to my head. I felt bad now bringing up my sister's dead boyfriend. I should have known better.
I felt a hand cover mine on top of the bar. I then remembered Alastor was still sitting next to me. I looked up to see his clawed hand covering mine. I looked over at him.
"Sorry about all that. I took her to a dark place, but it was an accident." I told him.
"It's ok. Mind telling me about this Victor fellow?" He asked.
I sighed, "It's probably been about 20 years now since he died. Victor was another wolf demon that was Lizzy's boyfriend. They dated for a long time. Ten years. The longest guy she even been with." I took a pause. "It was an extermination day. Lizzy had Victor over, so we tried our best to keep him inside, but when we slept, he snuck out. He was drunk and he was stupid when he was. Rebellious. Kept saying he could fight off any angel. Unfortunately, when we went out to look for him, we found him dead not far away on a sidewalk. Lizzy was heartbroken. She blamed herself." I took a sip of my drink. "She hasn't dated anyone since. She hates to love now. She doesn't want to get mixed into it again. Have her heart played with but gets jealous when she sees it. Deep down I know she wants to date again, but her pain haunts her." I sighed. "I love my sister, so I try to look out for her the best I can because she was never the same after that day." I downed the last of my drink.
Alastor was silent at first. "That's terrible to hear."
"It's in the past. I let it go, but she hasn't. I'm hoping she'll come around. One day." I hoped.
The day seemed to go by and by the time 6pm hit, the party was slowed down starting to disperse. It was such a fun time and I talked to almost everyone. I was still shy about all of them, but I still enjoyed it. Everyone helped clean up the place and in no time, it was all clean. Lizzy stayed and helped as well.
Lizzy had to go, and I was at the door hugging her goodbye. "I'll see you later. Be careful going home."
Lizzy got out of my hug. "Don't worry I'll be fine. You'll be over this weekend, right?" She asked me to make sure.
Lizzy and I decided to have a sleepover at my old place, well I guess I should call it her place now. So, I agreed to stay the weekend, with permission from Charlie.
"Yep. I'll be over around noon Saturday." I told her.
"Awesome. See you around." Lizzy said as she turned and walked up the street.
I closed the door and gave a yawn. I turned around to see Alastor there.
"Looks like some wolf is tired." Alastor said.
"Oh definitely. I'm probably going to head to bed." I told him.
He held his hand out to me, "Well let me take you to your room dear."
I took his hand. "Thanks Al."
We walked to the steps. I waved and said goodnight to everyone. Alastor walked with me to my room and I unlocked the door. I turned around to face the deer demon.
"Thanks for the little party today. I really had fun." I said to him
He grabbed my hand and then kissed the top of it. "I wanted to show that you made a big impact here at the hotel. You are amazing." He let go of my hand.
I blushed. "Oh stop. I don't need that much credit." I rubbed the back of my head.
"You'll get it from me because you're amazing in my opinion." Alastor said to me softly.
I blushed more; my face felt hot. "Oh, Al, stop. You really know how to make me blush."
Alastor laughed. "I do and I love it." He took his other hand and cupped my cheek. "I love everything about you, my little wolf."
I couldn't help it with his words, I let out a small laugh and smiled so big. My tail wagged happily. I knew he loved to see people smile so I knew he would enjoy that from me. He made my heartbeat so fast and made me feel so light. I almost felt like my wings would lift me off the ground without me knowing.
"And I love you, my great buck." I whispered to him.
I put my hands on his chest and gently gripped his jacket. I pulled him closer to me and looked up at him lovingly. I leaned up and kissed him, he graciously kissed me back. He took his arms and wrapped them around me. I loosened my grip on his jacket and just had my hands lay on his chest. I would never get enough of these.
What he did next I wasn't expecting. He pushed me up against the wall next to my door still kissing me and decided to make the kiss deeper. I let him enter and let him explore. He took his hands and traveled them up my body and up my arms then back. He was going to get me excited. He probably didn't even know what he was doing to me. Although, he was getting into it because he wasn't paying attention to his sharp teeth though, because he ended up scratching my lip. He left a gash and blood fell from my lip. I pushed him away, not out of anger but because it hurt.
"Ouch!" I yelled and put a hand to my mouth to catch the blood.
I looked up at Alastor and blood fell from his lips and covered his chin. His eyes didn't seem...normal. They were almost a dark crimson and it's like he was lost in a trance as he watched blood drip to the floor. He took his finger and touched his lips to look at the blood, but then he licked it. This was something I didn't want to see or experience. Alastor wasn't himself it seemed. What was wrong with him?
Alastor looked up at me and seemed to snap back into reality as he looked at my frightened face and realized what he did. "My dear, I'm sorry. I-" but I cut him off.
"Be more careful when you kiss me like that. I don't know what I just saw from you, but it scared me. You actually scared me just now." I tried my best to talk with how my lip was. "What the hell is wrong with you? I'm going to take care of this and I'm going to bed."
Alastor reached out a hand to me. "You want me to help you?"
"No!" I said quickly. I then saw the hurt in his eyes. "No, thank you. I can do it myself." I told him. "I'll...I'll see you tomorrow." I quickly went into my room and closed the door behind me. Making sure it was locked.
I went to the bathroom and tried my best to stop the bleeding of my lip. When I got it to slow down, I saw that there were two small slashes on my bottom lip. They weren't that deep so I didn't need stitches, but I would have to keep an eye on them. I wasn't sure what to do so I put some ointment on and took a piece of gauze and taped it to my face to hold it there. It was just for tonight, so I didn't bleed all over my bed. I knew they would heal up fast, so I didn't have to worry.
I know Alastor didn't mean to hurt me. He just wasn't careful when he started to make the kiss more...hot. I didn't know what he was doing but it was amazing. He honestly didn't realize what he was doing to me. Unless he did but just wasn't aware. I sighed and got into bed. I was scared of him in that state of his. What was up with that? I didn't understand. It's like he was being controlled by something else. Or just some kind of other force was taking over him. Was it something he never told me? Something he kept hidden. If so, he probably would have to tell me now. After what I just saw, I was afraid to kiss him again. I started to cry a little. Tears escaped my eyes and rolled down my cheeks.
This day was so good, but it ended on a bad note. I felt bad leaving Alastor in the hallway like that and rushing in, but I couldn't help it. He scared me. He hurt me, but I knew it wasn't on purpose. I needed to be away from him. Maybe I should head over to Lizzy's tomorrow instead of Saturday since tomorrow was Friday. An extra day over there wouldn't hurt. Get away from Alastor for a little bit. I knew that wasn't the best way to handle things right now, but I honestly didn't feel safe. More tears fell but I tried to wipe them away as best I could.
I picked up my phone and called Lizzy. After the third ring she picked up.
"Hello?" I heard Lizzy answer.
"Lizzy, its Heart." I answered back.
"Heart, what's up? What's the matter? I know you'd only call me if it was something important."
I took a pause. "Lizzy can I come over tomorrow instead of Saturday now?"
"Tomorrow? W-w-well sure. I guess. The place isn't clean, but I can try before you get here."
"Can you come to the hotel and walk with me?" I asked her.
"I thought Alastor was going to walk you over?"
"I changed my mind." I said quickly.
There was a long pause on her end. "Heart did something happen?"
I sighed. "...Maybe."
"You want to talk about it?"
"Not right now. I'll tell you tomorrow ok?"
"Fair enough. I'll try and be there before noon ok?"
"Ok. Thanks Lizzy."
"No problem. See you tomorrow then."
We both hung up. I looked down at my phone. My lock screen was of Alastor, I never told him I did it. I would take pictures of him without him knowing. Especially in the kitchen because he was always focused on the food. This one on my screen was of him when he was stirring food. He was slightly turned to me, but his eyes were down casted at the pot in front of him on the stove. His face was just so calm, and he was just so handsome. Tears fell down my face again. They landed on my phone. I put my phone on the table beside my bed and tried to stop my crying.
Tomorrow will be better. That's all I had to think. I know it will. I tried my best to fall asleep and hopefully not be haunted by dreams that night.
Dammnnnnnnnn. Got to love that crazy side.
