Heart tries to go back to the hotel. How will this turn out?

Ch 13: A Dragon's Wrath

(Heart's POV)

I slowly opened my eyes after I had slept what felt like forever and looked around my room. I looked down beside me and saw the doll Alastor gave me. It was still wrapped in my one arm. My phone still sat on the pillow next to me. I woke up feeling ok, but I knew things were not. My memories of last night slowly started to come back to me. A few tears fell and I held the doll close to me again. My ears were flat against my head.

"Alastor. I hope you come back to me soon." I whispered.

As I laid there in bed, I slowly started to think about some things. Alastor said he would return, before the next extermination. That gave me almost a year. To get my things straight. Even so, not having him around hurt me so much. Why did he have to go? It made me sad and angry at the same time.

Then I remembered...I had to go back to the hotel today.

But could I really do that? Everything there will remind me of him. I don't know if I could handle it. There was only one way I was going to find out.

I got up out of bed and stretched for a moment. I went to my bag I had brought with me and rearranged everything so that it would fit ok in it. I made sure I had everything as well. I walked out of the room to find Lizzy. Luckily, I found her on the couch still asleep.

I walked up to her and shook her shoulder, "Lizzy?"

Lizzy shot up from surprise. "I'm up, I'm up. I promise." She opened her eyes fully and looked up at me. "Heart? How are you doing?"

I frowned and looked away from her. "Not good. I could be better." I told her as I rubbed my arm and laid my ears against my head.

"Are you sure you want to go back to the hotel?" Lizzy asked, tilting one of her ears.

"No, I'm not, but I'm still going to. I need to see how I will be when I'm there." I explained.

Lizzy sighed and stood up. "Well, I'll make us breakfast if you'd like and we can head on our way."

I nodded. "That sounds good."

Lizzy gave me a small smile. "Want me to make your favorite?"

I smiled and my ears stood back up. "Pancakes? Yes please, might make me feel a little better."

"Sounds good." Lizzy got up and headed to the kitchen.

I went back to my room and sat down on my bed. I took the doll and brought it to my chest. I put my ears down. I picked up my phone and plugged it in so it would charge, and I saw my screen light up. Alastor. I'll never change my lock screen now. I needed ways to see him. I didn't know how long I stayed like that, but I heard a knock at my door.

"Come in." I said, putting my phone down on the bedside table and my ears perked up.

Lizzy then walked inside. "Breakfast is done. Come and get it when you can."

"Thanks. I'll be out soon." I told her.

Lizzy nodded and then closed the door but left it ajar. I sighed and just hugged my doll one more time. I got up out of bed and gently put the doll back onto my bed against my pillow. I walked out of my room and headed to the kitchen. I walked in and saw a pile of pancakes in the middle of the table. Lizzy was already sitting down eating.

Lizzy swallowed her mouthful. "I made them just the way you like em."

I sat down at the table and noticed that there were chocolate chips in the pancakes. My sister knew me too well.

I smiled at her. "Thank you, Lizzy."

"Yea yea, shut up and eat." Lizzy told me as she took another bite.

I didn't have to be told twice as I grabbed two pancakes and started to eat.

Halfway through Lizzy said to me, "Heart, I called Charlie. I asked her to come pick you up so you can go back to the hotel in her car. That way you don't have to walk."

"Lizzy you didn't have to do that." I said to her after I swallowed.

"I wanted to. I thought it would be nice. Something different." Lizzy said.

"Will you come with me?" I asked her.

"Do you want me to?"

"Please? Just in case."

"In case of what?"

I paused and looked away for a moment "In case I break down or lose it."

"Ok, I'll come with you then, but you know how I still don't enjoy cars."

"Yes, I know, but I just want you around right now."

Lizzy reached across the table and grabbed my hand. "I'm not going anywhere sister."

I looked up at her with a smile. "Thank you."

We finished eating and then I helped Lizzy clean up the kitchen.

"Since when do you help around the kitchen? You always made it my job." Lizzy said with her ears up as she picked up a plate to wash it.

"I'm just so used to it now. I helped Alastor in the kitchen." I answered as I whipped a plate clean.

"Oh yea, you told me how he was a really good cook and stuff." Lizzy put the dish in the drying rack.

"Yea, he always made amazing stuff. Better than mom ever could." I said with a laugh.

Lizzy laughed too. "Mom was always bad at cooking."

We both started to just laugh.

There was then a knock at the door.

"I'll get it." I put the towel down and headed to the door.

I opened the door and saw Charlie and Vaggie at the door.

"Hey Charlie, Vaggie, it's good to see you." I greeted and hugged the princess while my tail wagged.

"Good to see you to Heart." Charlie hugged me back.

I pulled out of the hug "Want to come in for a little bit?"

"Sure, but just for a little bit." Charlie answered and walked inside with Vaggie behind her.

I lead them to the couch and gestured to them to sit down.

"Me and Lizzy just got done eating. I'll make sure I have all my stuff together before we head back." I told them.

Charlie waved me off "Take your time. It will be ok."

Charlie looked like something was on her mind. She was probably worried about me. To be honest, I looked ok, but inside my heart was still shattered into pieces. I wanted to hide it, but I don't know for how long I would be able to. I knew that once I got to the hotel I'd probably break down, but I still wanted to try. I had my mixed emotions of anger and sadness fighting each other over all this still.

I walked to my room and made sure I had everything back in my bag. Double checking everything. I looked to my box in the closet, I still had it pulled out. I let out a growl of frustration and pushed the box back in the closet and started to cover it with anything I could. Stupid shit is what got me in this mess.

I went to the bedside table and grabbed my phone and my charger. I looked at my phone again, looking at Alastor on my lock screen. When the screen went black, I put it back in my pocket and grabbed my doll on the bed. I held it in my hands a moment and pulled it close to me. I walked out of the room and back into the living room where everyone sat. Lizzy was done washing dishes, so she was talking to Charlie and Vaggie.

Charlie looked at me then looked at the doll in my hands. "I'm glad he gave that to you before he left. I didn't know what his intentions were until afterwards."

I looked down at the doll. "It's the only thing I have left. I just wish he didn't give it to me then. I would have preferred before all this."

Charlie looked at me sadly "Heart, you sure you're going to be ok coming back to the hotel?"

I shook my head with my ears flat. "To be honest, no, but I'll see how I feel after I get there."

Charlie stood up and walked over to me and put a hand on my shoulder. "Heart, I'll understand if you don't want to be at the hotel for a little while. Once we get there, just let me know. I won't force you to stay."

I had a few tears fall, "Thank you Charlie."

She nodded. "Alright then, let's get back."

We all headed out the door and to the car waiting outside. We all piled into the large back seat and then the car took off. I stayed silent as we drove, I kept the Alastor doll close to my chest. I looked out the window at the city. I started to hate it again, I didn't want to deal with it. Just the shit hole that it was. We drove by the clock tower, the countdown to the next extermination. 358 days it said. I think that's the time I'll give myself. If he doesn't come back before it was time, I think I will take myself out on the town. Get cut down. What was the point of going to heaven anymore? I was better off in a void. Hopefully I don't remember things. Alastor was my Heaven and he was gone. If he didn't come back, it just showed that maybe he never did care for me. I still love him either way. Too bad I won't be able to show him one last time.

For now, though, I had to try and be my best I could be. Live how I want. Until that day comes. Part of me just hoped...that it didn't come down to it.

Soon we arrived at the hotel and we all got out of the car. I stood there looking up at the building. It felt like it was towering over me. Mocking me. My heart started to beat faster and I felt frozen in place. Why couldn't I walk towards it? What was stopping me?

I got out of my thoughts when I felt a hand on my back. I looked to see Lizzy and she just gave me a small smile. I gave a breath and slowly walked forward and into the open door that Charlie held for me. I walked into the lobby. I saw Angel Dust and Husk at the bar. They were talking or at least trying to have a normal conversation. Angel Dust laughed at something Husk said and then turned to the doors to see us. He slowly let his laugh die and just looked at me. You could tell that he was upset by Alastor's absence as well. I knew the spider demon liked him, but I'm sure he knew how hard I was taking it as well.

I looked around for a moment. No one said anything to me, they probably wanted to give me space. I was fine with that because that's what I wanted. I wanted to be lost in my thoughts. In my memories.

I looked to the kitchen door. My mind flashed to a bunch of things that happened there. I had a lot of bonding times with Alastor. He even taught me how to cook a lot more things than I ever knew how to or thought of. It was always so fun. He would always wrap his arms around me as I tried to stir things together in the pot. Laying his head on top of mine. Those moments were nice. Content. Safe. I gripped the strap of my bag tight. Made me wonder if he actually enjoyed those moments. That I was just a nuisance to him. In the way all the time.

My eyes went to the couch in front of the fireplace. I remember the long nights I had there with Alastor as he read a book and I just laid on the couch with him. I'd read some things on my phone and sometimes I would just look at the fire and just be content in the moment. I'd glance over and see the fire dancing off Alastor's face and I would just get lost in him. He caught me once looking at him. All he said was 'It's rude to stare, my love' and he just leaned over and kissed me. Some nights I'd lay my head in his lap and he would pet my head as he was reading. One time I remember, I asked him to read some of the story he was reading out loud. It was boring, but the combination of everything put me to sleep. I'd wake up in my bed if I did fall asleep on the couch. Alastor made sure I was always comfortable.

I walked over to the steps. I took a moment and looked up the set of stairs. I remember the one-time Alastor and I were just being playful, and he chased me from his room down the hallway and caught me at the top of the steps. He spun me around in his arms as we both laughed. He held me up in his arms a moment as he leaned in and kissed me quickly before putting me back down. I started to slowly walk up, the memory slowly vanishing as I took each step. My hand gently ran against the railing. I got to the top and looked to my right and down the hallway. I was afraid. The hallway seemed to stretch out in front of me and almost spin slightly. I held my Alastor doll close to my chest.

I was nervous but I slowly started to walk down the hall. The memory of when I made Alastor kiss Angel came to my mind and it made me chuckle and smile at the thought. I remember the time Alastor and I just spent one afternoon sitting in the hallway, we just talked, had songs play from his open room door and we danced a little. We held hands and it was just a relaxing evening. We had this whole hallway to ourselves. We are the only ones on the floor, so it made it nice. No one could bother us.

I kept walking down the hall and soon...I reached Alastor's room. Did I dare go in? Was it even open? Part of me didn't want to but...the other part of me said to do so. I reached for the knob and turned it. It WAS unlocked. I was surprised. I slowly opened the door and let it swing open. His room looked the same. Nothing was moved. I dropped my bag in the hallway and placed my Alastor doll inside it. I walked into the room.

I had a lot of memories in this room. I went over to the bed and ran my hand against the sheets. The bed was all made and perfect. My memory of the time I slept in his room during the extermination. I made him board up the windows because I was paranoid, even though he kept telling me I would be fine. Hearing the chaos outside I laid curled up at his side, holding him tight. He would just pet my head and hold me. He was comforting and he whispered sweet nothings in my ear when I would tense up. The memory soon faded, and I looked out the window a moment at the city. This disgusting place.

I turned back to look at the room. I saw his player was still here. I went over to it and turned it on. A song automatically started to play.

"Come, sweetheart mine, don't sit and pine

Tell me of the cares that make you feel so blue

What have I done, answer me, hon

Have I ever said an unkind word to you"

I remembered the song; it was one me and Alastor danced to that night we made our feelings clear for each other.

"My love is true, and just for you

I'd do almost anything at any time"

The memory of us dancing came into my mind. Tears started to fall down my face.

"Dear, when you sigh, or when you cry

Something seems to grip this very heart of mine"

It's almost like I could picture the dance happening in front of me.

"Come to me my melancholy baby"

"Why?" I whispered as the song played on. "Why did you go?" I felt my hands curl up into fists.

"Cuddle up and don't be blue

All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe"

I felt my sadness fade away as anger started to take over me. I was angry with Alastor. He left me. Sure, he didn't technically break up with me, but he still left me. For a dumb fucking reason. I didn't want to agree with it. It's like he was overacting. Was it my fault? I don't think so now. He just couldn't accept what I did that one night and he got scared.

"You know, dear, that I'm in love with you"

I never liked to tell anyone, but I had another demon form, it was my dragon form. It only happens to me when I lose control of my emotions. I am filled with rage and consumed by it.

It started, I felt the black scales start to form on my arms and my form changing. Claws forming and growing on my hands. My horns grew as well as my wings. I felt my clothes start to rip as well. Unlike my wolf form that was feral, in my dragon form I stood on my two legs and grew in size.

"Every cloud must have a silver lining

Wait until the sun shines through"

"Heart?" I heard my name being called but my mind had the world blacked out.

My rage had everything blinded. All my rage was focused on how Alastor hurt me. I felt used. My emotions toyed with.

I heard the song still playing. It then triggered me.

"Smile, my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear

Or else I shall be melancholy too"

I grabbed the fucking player and yelled as I threw it across the room. It hit the wall so hard it smashed to pieces and hit the ground. The song now stopped playing. The player in pieces. I looked in the large mirror. I walked up to it and punched it, shattering it all over the ground.

Third Person (POV)

Charlie, Vaggie and Lizzy started up the steps to where Heart had gone. They heard the music playing. They all got worried and realized that she was in Alastor's room. That was the last place they wanted her to be alone. With how emotionally unstable she was through this whole thing; she couldn't be in there alone. As they walked into the hallway they stopped as they saw the door open to Alastor's room was indeed open with Heart's bag sitting by the door.

"Heart?" Lizzy called.

They heard no answer they slowly walked to the door. Then they heard a big crash! Then the music stopped. They looked at each other for a moment and then ran to the room. They then heard something else being smashed.

When they got to the doorway, they expected to see Heart. Except they saw about a 7ft tall black dragon. Shining black scales covered its body. Giant horns that curled slightly around its long-pointed ears. It had giant wings that it had against its back. Spikes going down its back to its long tail where the end had a large spike. Smoke escaped the dragon's nostrils from its long snout. It had dark purple eyes that glowed with, what looked like, anger.

It didn't take notice of them as it then spit out fire at the now broken player on the floor, setting it all ablaze.

All three girls screamed in fear. The dragon turned its gaze to them at the scream. It slowly went up to them and let out a roar. It growled at them.

"What is it!?" Vaggie screamed.

Lizzy stepped forward in front of them, "Its Heart."

"What?" Charlie asked in disbelief.

Lizzy looked over her shoulder at them. "She has this form as well, but it's only triggered out of anger." She turned her head back to the dragon. "She has no control over herself either."

"What do we do?" Vaggie asked in a panic.

Lizzy took a long pause then spoke over her shoulder again. "Nothing."

Heart slashed a clawed hand at them, and they jumped back from the attack.

"Heart! Stop this!" Lizzy yelled up at her.

Heart just roared. She had no control; speech wasn't a part of her anymore either. She swung her tail and smacked Lizzy, sending her flying back against the hallway wall. Charlie and Vaggie went to her side.

"Lizzy! Are you ok?" Charlie asked and tried to help her back up.

"I'll be alright. I have to stop her before she wrecks everything." Lizzy groaned.

Heart went back into the room and went to a dresser and smashed it under her foot. She went to the bedside table and slammed her hand into it. The drawer fell out and onto the floor and she stepped on it.

Lizzy had got down on all fours and ran into the room and jumped onto Heart's back.

"Heart! You have to calm down!" Lizzy yelled.

She hated hurting her sister right now, but she did because she knew how crazy she could be. She dug her claws into Heart's back.

Heart roared in pain and tried to reach Lizzy on her back but had no luck as her arms were too short. Lizzy climbed up Heart's back to where she couldn't reach.

"Calm down! You know you can tell me anything, Heart!" Lizzy said, trying to get through to her sister. "Wrecking Alastor's stuff won't help you."

Heart then fell backwards and rolled. Lizzy got pinned under the weight of the dragon and lost her grip. Heart turned back to Lizzy on the ground and roared at her then stopped her foot down on her.

Lizzy screamed in pain. Charlie and Vaggie didn't know what to do. Charlie wanted to do something. She looked down at the burned items on the floor. She took a piece of wood and threw it at Heart. "Stop it!" Charlie screamed and it smacked Heart in the arm.

The dragon turned to her. She breathed fire in their direction. They jumped into the hallway out of the way. Heart then felt pain go up her leg as Lizzy had gotten up and bit down on her left leg. She let out a screech. She kicked her leg and threw Lizzy against the wall and she landed in the pile of glass that was from the mirror.

Heart had had enough of them. She walked to the window and punched it out. Glass fell and went everywhere on the floor.

Charlie ran back into the room. "Heart, stop!"

The dragon turned to her a moment and just glared at her. She turned back to the city then jumped out the window.

"Heart!" Charlie called out and ran to the window.

The hell princess watched as Heart flew off. She flapped her wings and glided. Charlie sighed. She wasn't expecting this to happen when she brought Heart back to the hotel. She turned to Lizzy and walked up to her as she was getting up on wobbly paws. She decided just to sit and got out of her feral form. Vaggie walked over to her as well. Lizzy held her arm, it had a gash in it from the glass of the mirror on the floor.

"We have to follow her." Vaggie said.

"No." Lizzy started. "She can't be stopped easily. She has to blow off her anger and calm down."

"What if she is getting hurt?" Charlie asked.

Lizzy spit and it was all blood. "She'll be ok. She can be pretty strong in her dragon form."

"Why did she never tell us about it before?" Vaggie said as she took her ribbon out of her hair and started wrapping it around Lizzy's wounded arm.

Lizzy watched Vaggie wrap her arm. "She doesn't like people knowing. She never gets angry though, she is never in it. Even so, she doesn't want people to take advantage of her because of it. She can be wild, aggressive and sometimes unpredictable." She explained.

Vaggie tied up the ribbon to hopefully stop the bleeding of Lizzy's arm. "So, we just sit and wait?"

"Pretty much." Lizzy said with a sigh.

"Well, let's try and get this stuff cleaned up. My dad will kill me if he finds out the room was like this." Charlie suggested.

"I'll help you." Lizzy said.

"No! You sit and rest." Vaggie said sternly.

Lizzy sighed in annoyance and slowly stood up.

"You go downstairs and watch over the lobby. Have Angel come help and see if he can find Nifty as well?" Charlie told her.

"Fine. Let me take Heart's stuff to her room first." Lizzy walked to the doorway and picked up the bag. "It's pretty obvious that Heart can't stay here. If she is going to be triggered by anger because of Alastor leaving it's probably best if she wasn't here. She has to many memories with him here."

"I agree. I don't want to be cleaning up her messes and wrecking the hotel." Vaggie said.

"I'm afraid that you are right, Lizzy. I think Heart should go home with you for now." Charlie agreed.

"If she doesn't come back to the hotel, I'm going out to look for her." Lizzy told them.

"That's fine, but please rest first." Charlie told her.

Lizzy nodded and then headed to Heart's hotel room. She took out Heart's key from the bag and unlocked the door. She went to the bed and set the bag on it and headed back out of the room.

Heart was on a rampage out in the city and she couldn't do anything about it. Her dragon form was too strong. Even for her. Lizzy sighed. It was all Alastor's fault. Next time she saw the deer demon freak she was going to kick his ass for doing this to her sister.

(Heart's POV)

I started to turn back to my normal form. My head hurt and was spinning. I landed in an alleyway and landed very poorly. I rolled until I hit a garbage can. My back was already sore from scratches left there so I was in pain. I laid there. Trying to recall everything. When I turn into my demon dragon form, I don't remember much of anything. I had flashes of my fighting against Lizzy, I hope I didn't hurt her too badly. I'm sure she was back at the hotel. As much as I didn't want to go back, I had to because I didn't want her to worry about me. I tried to recall what happened next. I remember breaking a window and jumping out of it. After that everything is a little foggy. I just hope I didn't hurt anyone. Whatever else I did out in the city; it was probably just another normal day for someone.

I tried to get up, but I had no strength left in me. I laid back down. I had to wait. My clothes were ripped, and I had left my phone in my bag, so I had no way to contact anyone. I was stuck.

I laid there, trying to get up now and then but was failing. I didn't want to make too much noise. I didn't want to bring attention to myself especially if I couldn't fight back or get away. I just stopped and thought back to things. I let my anger get the better of me, I knew I shouldn't have. I made a mess of Alastor's room. I feel bad now doing so. I hope he won't get mad at me for breaking his stuff. I must apologize to Charlie and Vaggie as well. I'm sure I scared the shit out of them.

I waited about 10 more minutes and then tried to get up. I managed to slowly push myself up and into a sitting position. I tried to use the wall and pulled myself up. I leaned against the wall to support myself and I tried to get my balance. My leg was still wounded from Lizzy's bite, so I knew I'd walk with a limp for now.

I took a breath and slowly made my way down the alley. I still leaned against the wall so I could balance myself and then soon reached the end of the alley. I looked out into the street and I couldn't tell at first where I was. I looked around to see if I knew anything familiar. Then I saw something, it was the restaurant I went to during my death anniversary. Giuseppe's. I knew where I was now. I started walking.

I walked past the restaurant and looked inside the window to see people singing and dancing, making chit chat. I also saw a help wanted sign in the window too, hopefully no one I was friends with got fired. I managed to push myself off and walk the way I knew back to the hotel from where I was. I walked through the park and through some busy streets. Past some demons that gave me some looks. I kept hoping the whole way they wouldn't jump me.

I was so used to walking outside with Alastor beside me. Intimidating everyone who looked at him or even me. They never bothered us. Unless they were drunk or stupid enough. At that point though Alastor would just kick the shit out of them. I enjoyed his little torture and rambunctious actions. I always liked seeing his powers in action.

I then saw the hotel not far up ahead. My ears perked up. I was almost there, I just hoped Lizzy was still waiting for me. I soon got up to the door and was about to knock but I heard yelling on the other side. I wasn't sure what anyone was saying.

The door then swung open, my ears went back in surprise. It was Lizzy but she wasn't looking at me because she was looking back at Vaggie who stood back from her.

Lizzy was yelling, "She's still my sister! I have to look for her!" Pointing at the moth demon girl.

I smiled and felt my tail wag. "I'm right here Lizzy."

The wolf girl jumped in surprise and then turned to me. I was surprised when she jumped at me wrapping me in a hug. I wrapped my arms around her.

"Oh God Heart, I'm so glad you're ok." Lizzy said with a sigh of relief.

"I'm ok. I'm glad you thought of me." We pulled away from the hug and I looked down and saw her bandaged-up arm. "Lizzy, oh my god did I do that to you!? I'm so sorry!" I apologized.

Lizzy waved me off. "Don't worry Heart. You've done worse to me."

I looked down and away ashamed, my ears down in sadness. "I don't want to hurt anybody."

Lizzy placed her good hand on my shoulder. "It's ok Heart. I know it's hard for you to control yourself in your Dragon Demon form."

I looked up and saw Charlie walk up next to Vaggie. I walked past Lizzy and bowed to Charlie with my hands together. "Charlie, Vaggie I am so sorry for the damage I caused!"

"Heart its ok. I can understand that you're going through a hard time right now." Charlie said to me.

I stood up straight but kept my gaze to the floor. "I don't know what came over me. I just got so overwhelmed with anger."

Charlie walked up to me and wrapped me in a hug, I hugged her back. "You have mixed emotions of sadness and anger. That's totally fine to feel those things as well." She pulled out the hug but kept her hands on my arms. "After all that you and Alastor did together, I'm sure your memories just made you realize how much you miss him. Questioning his actions as well during those times."

I nodded. "I don't think I can stay here Charlie. Not after everything that happened. He made this place feel like home. It made me feel safe. It makes me feel complete. We made so many memories." I looked up and looked past Charlie into the main lobby. "Now my memories are just coming back to haunt me."

Charlie frowned slightly. "Let's let everything calm down for now. Play stuff by ear and then hopefully soon, you can come back. We'll always have your room ready for you." Charlie said with a smile.

I smiled back. "Thank you, Charlie, you're an amazing person."

Charlie rubbed my arms, "Maybe you should go back with Lizzy for right now. We can try and get some of your stuff together if you'd like?"

"That be nice, thank you." I backed away from her. "I think I'd be best if I wait here or outside. I don't want to cause any more trouble."

"We understand. Just wait here, I'll be back in a moment." Charlie said and turned to head towards the stairs. Vaggie followed her.

I stood in the doorway with Lizzy. But I saw Angel Dust get up from the bar and walk over to me.

"Angel, I think I'll actually miss seeing you every day." I told him as he walked up to us, my tail wagging.

"To be honest, I'll miss ya being around kid." Angel said as he got up to us. "I have something for ya but you don't have to take it if it makes you uncomfortable." Angel reached into his chest fluff and pulled out what looked like a few pictures. "I helped Nifty clean up Al's room. I found these in the rubble of the bedside table. I figured you could hold onto em if you wanted." He handed them out to me.

I slowly took them and looked to see they were indeed pictures. There were only 3. They all seemed a little ruined. They were bent and crinkled, probably thanks to me. I looked at the one in the front and it was just a picture of my face as I smiled. I put that one behind to look at the next, it was another picture of me, but it was me asleep on the couch. I flipped to the last picture, it was of me and Alastor. Looks like it was taken mid conversation as me and him sat on a bench in the park nearby. I remember that day, we went to the park just to have a nice relaxing evening away from the hotel. I smiled at the pictures. How did he get these? Why did he have them? Maybe he truly did care.

I had a smile but didn't realize it till now. "Thanks Angel. I think I'll hold onto them."

Angel nodded. "I can tell from those that he did truly love you. You should be grateful. Will be weird not having Al here either. Hopefully he comes back." Angel said with a little sadness in his voice.

I put the pictures close to me and looked away. "Me too."

Charlie soon came back and she had my bag in hand. "Angel you better not be doing anything to her."

"Nah babe, I was just saying my goodbyes." Angel answered. He waved one last time to me and walked away. I gave him a wave as well.

Charlie handed my bag to me. "I put some new pairs of clothes in there as well as some other stuff."

"Is my-" Charlie cut me off.

"Yes, Alastor's doll is in there. I made sure." She told me with a smile.

I let out a small sigh of relief. "Thank you. I'll be back for probably more."

Lizzy walked up to me, "No, you aren't coming back here. I'll come back and get more of your stuff."

I looked over at her and put my ears down, "I guess that would be best." I looked at Charlie. "Will you guys come visit me at least?"

"Of course, we will." Charlie answered.

I nodded in thanks. Lizzy put an arm around me.

"Come on Sis. Let's go back home." Lizzy said to me.

"Well, see you guys. Again...I'm sorry for all this." I said.

"It's ok Heart, we forgive you." Charlie said and gave me one last hug.

We waved one last time and walked out. Lizzy lit a cigarette as we walked up the sidewalk. As we got to the corner I stopped and looked back. The place I came to find a home, I had to leave behind. One day I plan to go back. I hope.

No, the story is not over. I still have plans so stay tuned!
