Meanwhile back at the hotel, Charlie was pacing back and forth, completely panicking, while Vaggie and Angel watched as they were sitting on the couch.
"What am I going to do?What if he does something weird to her?! I promised to protect her, if he does something- What if-" Vaggie stood up and walked over to the princess placing a hand on Charlie's shoulder, comforting her.
"If it makes you feel any better we could go look for them." Vaggie said.
"But, who will look after the hotel. What if we get a client while we're gone?! I can't just leave!"
"Angel can go. I'll stay here with you-" the moth demon was interrupted as the spider demon cut her off.
"Why do I have to go?" Angel asked, irritated. Vaggie turned to him with a scowl on her face glaring, angrily. The spider demon held his hands up defensively. "Okay, I'm going. Don't get your taco in a twist." He said, as he stood up from the couch and walked out of the hotel shutting the door behind him.
The demon and the human continued to walk in silence. Ever so often, Anna shot a couple of glances at the radio demon as he hummed to himself as they walked. Everything that the demon did was an enigma to her. His mannerisms, the way he dressed, and that he always had a smile on his face.
"Why do you always smile?" Anna asked.
"My mother always says that you're never fully dressed without one!" He told her, grinning.
"I always hear you talk about your mother but never your father why is that?" Anna questioned. She heard the sound of a crack which soon followed by static. Alastor paused as he slowly turned his head to her.
"Because there's nothing to talk about." He replied, grinning, darkly. Anna swallowed, nervously, a little unease by it, and decided to drop the question.
The two stopped in front of a store with a large sign above it that read Rosie's emporium. Alastor opened the door and walked inside, Anna following behind him.
"Rosie!" Alastor called out.
Anna saw a woman peeked out from the door behind the counter. She dressed in an old fashioned dress, wearing a large at with a feather and some skull decorations on it. She had light grayish hair, her skin was very pale with a grayish tint to it, solid black eyes, like a doll's, and sharp razor like teeth like Alastor's.
"Alastor!" She smiled as she greeted him then her eyes stopped on Anna.
"Who is this?" She asked. She frowned, raising a eyebrow.
"I'm Anna." Anna replied. Rosie stared at the human with an look on her face then she turned to Alastor.
"Alastor, can you grab something for me in the back room?" The shop keeper asked. "I need some severed fingers. There should be some in a jar."
Alastor turned his head, confused, but shrugged his hands and hummed as he left the room, leaving the two women alone together.
"What do you need those for?" Anna asked, look a disgusted look on her face.
"I didn't, I just said that to get him to leave." Rosie said smiling. "However, there's something I must ask you. Did Alastor do anything strange to you?" she asked.
Anna looked at her with a confused look on her face. "No, nothing unusual, he's been nothing but nice. Despite, being a little strange with violating my personal space." She replied. "Why do you ask?"
Rosie had a stern look on her face as she frowned. "I just want you to be careful around him, sweetheart, that's all I ask." She warned. Anna looked at her, confused.
"What do you mean?" She questioned. Rosie leaned back and rested her arm on the counter.
"Tell me, do you know why the people here call him the Radio Demon?" Rosie asked.
Anna shook her head and the shop keeper continued. "When Alastor first arrived here, on day one, he broadcasted his power, bloodlust and carnage all throughout Hell. I'm just warning you because a single thing can set him off." Anna stared at Rosie with a surprised and fearful look on her face.
"Got it!" Alastor grinned as he walked back into the room carrying a jar filled with severed fingers, setting it on the counter for Rosie.
She smiled. "Thank you, darling." She said, gratefully, looking at Alastor.
"It was nice, seeing you but we must get going." Alastor said as he kissed Rosie on her cheek. She smiled and waved seeing the two walk away.
At a club, a young chubby woman with short blond hair dressed in an revealing 1920's dress and feathered headband was sitting at a bar counter. The club was filled with loud noises of music blaring in the background from the 1920s-1930s, some demons getting into a fist fight, glass shattering, followed by screaming. The demon woman paid no attention to it as her thoughts were elsewhere. She sighed with a dazed look on her face as she drawed in her book, scribbling hers and Alastor's name on every single page in different designs, some with their first initials together, and some with their names surrounded in hearts.
"Mimzy! How's my favorite flapper gal doing?!" Alastor called out, with Anna following behind him. Mimzy nearly jumped out of her skin, completely startled. She quickly slammed the notebook shut, shoving it into the drawer.
"Oh my gosh!" Mimzy exclaimed, grabbing her chest, surprised to see him. "Alastor?!"
"Who else would it be?" Alastor teased. Mimzy's smile dropped slightly when she saw Anna, behind Alastor.
"Who is this?" Mimzy asked, confused. The radio demon pulled the human out from behind him, shoving her in front of him as his hands rested on Anna's shoulders.
"This is Anna. I wanted to show her off to everyone. She's sort of a new guest who's staying at the hotel!" Alastor told her.
"You better get ready! The show's about to start." Mimzy said.
"What show?" Anna asked. Mimzy looked at her with a shocked look on her face.
"You must be new here, if you haven't heard Alastor's singing! He comes here every once in a while to perform at this club." Mimzy told her.
Alastor bent down until he was in Anna's face. "Go and have a seat, darling, while I get ready." He said, pinching the woman's cheek. Anna watched as he left until he was out of sight.
"Let's go and have a seat. You are going to love it!" Mimzy cried out, excited. She dragged the poor girl by the hand leading her to an empty table.
Anna sat down at the table with Mimzy, crowded by other occupied tables filled with demons. Hours seemed to have passed when suddenly, all the lights turned off one by one until the entire stage was lit up. The whole room went silent on anticipation as they looked up at the stage. The curtains slowly slid open and Alastor walked out on to the center of the stage. Anna's jaw dropped slightly as she stared, blushing, seeing him dressed up in an dapper outfit, dressed in a black suit and top hat. Mimzy made a small smile and closed the human's mouth, watching the singer on stage. Alastor grinned as he held his microphone in his hand and began to sing.
"I don't want to set the world on fire. I just want to start a flame in your heart." Anna felt her heart began to beat faster listening to the radio demon's voice, completely enthralled.
"In my heart I have but one desire and that one is you, no other will do."
"I've lost all ambition of worldly acclaim. I just want to be the one you love."
"And with your admission that you'd feel the same. I will have reached the goal I've been dreaming of." Anna began to tense up as she saw Alastor advancing closer towards her table.
She blinked only to find that he was now standing in front of her. She let out a small gasp in shock. Alastor made a wider grin as he bent down until his face was closer to hers.
"Believe me, I don't want to set the world on fire. I just want to start a flame in your heart." Alastor placed a finger under Anna's chin, tilting her head up making her look at him. Her eyes widen as she saw him began to lean in closer towards her face until their nose touched, almost touching her lips with his. Anna whole body froze, in not moving an inch. She felt like her heart was about to leap from out of her chest as she looked up at Alastor.
Something within her snapped, this felt familiar to her. She felt like she was in this situation before. Cornered, unable to get away. But, the more she tried to remember, the more it slowly began slip away from her. She didn't like it. In fact, she was uncomfortable by it. She placed her hands on Alastor's chest shoving him, hard, away from her. He yelped in shock as he was pushed back bumping into a nearby table behind him, his hat fell off as well. A loud feedback squealed from Alastor's microphone as it emitted throughout the room followed by static. The whole room went silent as everyone in the room stared in surprise and some in fear.
Alastor stared at the woman with wide eyes. Mimzy covered her mouth her hand looking back and forth between the two in worry. Anna quickly stood up, making the chair screech as she did.
"I'm sorry." Anna murmured, softly, "I'm sorry..." and quickly left, leaving. Everyone watched as she did, with confused and some with angry looks on their faces.
"Boo! Bitch ruined the song!" Someone jeered in the audience.
