Chapter 5

The office you found yourself in smelled of dense heavy perfume and the decor was very rich for what it was, a wedding planner's shop... in Hell... It was a bit mind blowing to think that they would even consider weddings in Hell... Just why? To give the middle finger to God? To say we to consider Marriage sacred? Or to mock the concept itself?

Ever since you left with Alastor from Hazbin Hotel everything seemed to go by in a haze, you were to lost in your own thoughts and before you knew what was happening, you where already in a meeting with a wedding planner. She was a sheep demon... Her fur is whitish purple, she had human hands that faded from whitish purple into pure black, which oddly was adorned with very sharp purple looking claws. She has long black spiral horns jutting off on either side of her head to make a V shape. Her face was mostly human looking. The sclera of her eyes were pure black with a pair of glowing purple iris's. From what you did notice though was her mannerism's, she seemed nice, but snobbish. And if Alastor wasn't there, you would assume the nice act would be just that, an act. 'What was her name? Um... Alex I think?' You thought as you hear a mocking snort from Alastor that he tried to mask as a cough.

The wedding planner continued speaking, but your mind was a million miles away... You were getting married and not only that, but in the afterlife... "I think since you both want to get this done quickly, you should move fast on picking the wedding dress and suit. I recommend a store here in the the First Circle called "Hellfire Design" they move relatively fast and have a good reputation!" You looked over to Alastor as he grabs your hand and stands up, pulling you with him. "Thank you Alex, we shall not tarry then. Goodbye, you'll be hearing from us soon!" Not seeming to want to wait any longer than he had to, he rushed you both through the gilded front doors and onto the upper class streets. Why was he in such a hurry? Was there something you didn't know?

You look up at Alastor in question as he takes your hand and plants a chaste kiss on the back of it. "It's going to be safer for us to move with a quick Wedding... I can't really tell you why though, just trust me, okay?" You simply nod your head, but your not really satisfied with his answer. "Where was this Hellfire Design again?" He shrugs, having never been there himself. He pulls out his cellphone and brings up a map of the first circle. It's odd to see him with a cellphone, with the way he acts you think he would shun modern technology. You smile and shrug your shoulders 'Anything can happen.'

He gives you a cross look and suddenly finds the place in question on his phone. "It's not to far from here, my dear." he says ignoring your previous thoughts and taking your hand once again in his, making you follow behind him in a brisk walk. You looked around again at the odd shaped buildings and even odder shaped people. So many looked at least humanoid, but that's where it stopped. You couldn't help but stare as they passed by you and Alastor on the street.

You soon find yourself in front of the building called "Hellfire Design". It looked like real flames where licking the sides of the black brick building, but that had to be fake... right? The building itself was a rather tall and in a Gothic/Victorian design. You liked the design for the most part, so maybe there was something here you would actually want for your wedding dress.

You both walk through the sliding doors and into a wonderland of dresses and suits. None of the dresses seemed to be the traditional white like what you would find on Earth, but in an array of blacks and multiple colors. If there was white dresses and suits it was an exotic find, at least here anyway. Almost to soon for you, an attendant of the store was seemingly atop of both of you. Their pitch black shadowy body seemed to be like smoky flames dressed in a blue tailors suit. Their sclera's are pitch black and their iris's were a glowing blood red with cat like slits for pupils. Their short blue hair like roaring flames. They had one clawed hand extended towards Alastor and you with a shark tooth grin.

Even though they seemed to you to have a fearsome look, you felt a warm comforting energy from them. You took their hand in yours and shook it, smiling "We know that we haven't booked an appointment, but could we just look around?" He nodded "The woman from "Entwined" told me Alastor and his soon to be bride where coming and in a rush. My name is Tom Kindle and It's a pleasure to meet you Y/N and Alastor. Come this way please." You look at Alastor, he seemed rather shocked at your calm reaction to this type of being. You winked at him and chuckled, following Tom Kindle down the hallway of dresses.

He leads you and Alastor to a long black leather couch with two zebra marble side tables. In front is a white platform with three mirrors circling around it. Tom turns to both of you "I need Alastor to wait here while we go and look for your wedding dress, we'll come back and show him your picks, Y/N. Oh and before I forget, what is the budget?" Alastor looks to Tom and shrugs while sitting on the leather couch "There isn't one, just pick the one you like the most." he finishes looking directly at you and then he grumbles about having to wait, but lets Tom lead you to look all the same.

You both arrive at a dressing room not to far from Alastor, you feel the his shadow in the room with you. "I need to get an idea of what you would like to wear for you wedding day, miss Y/N. And get your measurements." You smile at Tom "I would like something lacy and black with hints of blue and purple. And in a style like a ballgown, but that also shows off my curves a bit." you say looking up at him.

He then proceeds to take you measurements. Once he's done, he turns and smiles at you "How about two dresses, one a ball gown and the other a mermaid. The best of both worlds? One for the ceremony and one for the reception!?" He says clapping his hands together, his smile ever widening. You grab you chin looking down 'It sounds nice and he did say an unlimited budget...' You look up at Tom and say "Yes, that sounds like a good idea." He nods and leads you out of the dressing room and down a row of dresses. You pick out a lacy ball gown dress in black and one mermaid in similar fashion. He leads you back to the dressing room.

A female attendant comes in to help you into your first pick. She's a shadow demon herself, but her eyes are a flaming golden color. Her hair instead of a fiery blue is a fiery red that comes down to her knees. She is wearing a simple dark red silk dress. "My name is Isabella, I will be helping you into your wedding picks." She said with a southern drawl. You extend you hand to her and she shakes it, smiling. "Most people I meet here are much colder than you seem to be, sweetheart."

You smile down at her as she helps you into your first pick, a sweetheart ball gown. It's a black and indigo full lace top and heavy with indigo swarovski crystals. The skirt is a very full silk black ruffled tulle skirt made to look like a rose. It has indigo roses with swarovski crystals and indigo lace throughout. And black lacy off the shoulder sleeves. You heard of people that take forever to find the one, but this just is too perfect... And the off shoulder sleeves give it an elven feel that you like.

You find it odd that Alastor will know what your dress will look like before your wedding day... But your not much of a traditionalist anyway. She helps you out to where Alastor is. His eyes look at you with a hunger that makes you blush profusely and look away from his smoldering gaze. "It's perfection my dear." he say's in purr, his voice deep. You turn to look into the mirrors and can't help, but love it. Tom comes out and says "Is this the one?" Your eyes are brimming with tears as you simply nod and say "Yes, this is the one, can we go and try on the reception dress?" You hear Alastor chuckle as Tom nods and leads you back to the dressing room with Isabella in tow.

Isabella gets you out of the first one and into the reception dress. It's just as beautiful as the first, but more sexy and fully black lace with indigo swarovski crystals throughout. It hugs all of your curves like a second skin, before flaring out at the bottom in full black tulle and lace with indigo roses with swarovski crystals scattered around the bottom. Just like the first one, you are in love with it. Your glad you decided on getting two of them, though you did feel spoiled. Isabella leads you out of the dressing room and to where Alastor is.

This time around he seems to have almost no control over himself, his eyes seeming to burn red with wild lust. "It's so... perfect on you!" his voice was so deep and had no static sound to it at all. It startled you and made you feel powerful. It made you feel good that you could make him lose control. You turned to the mirrors, your jaw almost dropping. You looked like a goddess in this! Tom returned smiling. "You look fabulous, my dear!" You thought you heard a growl... "Is this the one as well?" You turn to look at Alastor and then Tom "Yes, it is the one as well!" Isabella takes you back to the dressing room and helps you get back into your regular clothing.

You extend your hand to Isabella as you say your goodbyes to her and follow Tom and Alastor to another part of the store, to the suit section. Tom leads you to the sitting area similar to the one you were at before. "Now you get to switch places, my dear." Tom says as he leads an annoyed Alastor to look for suits. You see a shadow in the corner of your eyes, but as you turn your head and it's gone. 'Must be Alastor's shadow demon' you thought.

You sit there on the leather couch, beginning to become bored as you hear some murmuring across the room with a surprising amount of suits. You didn't think there would be so many different style's, but who where you to say? You had never had to shop for suits. The murmuring becomes louder, making you turn more in your seat to see who was coming. You see a man with a TV for a head, he had fully red eyes and a shark tooth grin. He seemed to have pitch black skin and wore a flamboyant pin striped black suit with a red and black striped undershirt. He also had a red bow tie. He was accompanied by a very tall man that looked to be some type of moth man with purple skin and fully red eyes. He was dressed in a very bright red robe with white fluffy cuffs around the end of all four of his arms. Down the middle of his robe leading all the way to his black boots was a white and black striped fluff border. He had a bright red flamboyant top hat with a band of striped black and white. Along with a large feather of the same pattern. Also on the hat was a pair of gold rimmed heart shaped red sun glasses. And around his neck was a very fluffy white collar with bright red hearts. He held a cellphone in his top right hand. He seemed displeased with what they where doing.

The man with a TV for a head turned and looked up at the moth man. "You do realize that we need a nicer snazzier suite for you, Val?!" he seemed to be trying in vain to convince the much larger man... He huffed "You know my style is just fine, Vox dear. I'm doing this to get you to shut the fuck up..." he said while following the flame demon assisting them that you now just noticed. They lead the way to a sitting area much like your own, not to far away.

You feel the air thicken as if evil just took a seat next to you... You feel threatened and start to feel electricity build up and arc around your body. You look at your hand and see visible arc of electricity moving in and around your skin, but feel no pain. 'Hello mistress, I could feel your distress. I'm your shadow demon.' you visibly jump in your seat and look to see if you where being watched by the new group of people. You were not, but what you did see made you almost scream. Before you was a shadow clone of yourself with arcing electricity throughout it's body. You couldn't believe your eyes, you had a shadow demon of your own... much like Alastor... and with lighting abilities?

You suddenly hoped that the new group didn't notice your shadow demon or the electricity arcing throughout yours and it's body. You take another glance at them and to your surprise they seem too engrossed in what they were doing to notice you. You let out a big sigh of relief only to suddenly hear your shadow demon again in your mind 'I will remain here with you as always. But I will become invisible to them as long as you want me to!' You look at her and try to will your thoughts to enter her mind or at least thats how you think it would work 'Yes remain unseen please, these guy's seem to me to be very evil... Do you see Alastor's Shadow demon to?' She smiles 'Yes, he seems to be very upset though... He's saying that they are Overlords and to try to remain unseen and to stop with the theatrics.' you huff at his shadow demons words, but try to calm down. You think of the electricity arcing across your body as becoming invisible to the naked eye.

It seems to work for a while, but you notice if you let your fear get the better of you, it would start to show again. You have so many question's... Why did these abilities suddenly show up all the sudden? Was it the stress of being near such evil? 'It is only been less than one day here... in Hell...' So you must have more abilities to find out about... right?

You suddenly have an urge to look up and see Alastor in a style similar to a John wick suit. It was a black silky suit with red silky cuffs with an even darker black silky vest and a undershirt with the same red as the cuffs and a black silky tie. He had an indigo swarovski crystal rose in his chest pocket. He gives you a awkward look and a quick glance at the group, but turns suddenly to the mirror as if nothing was wrong. "I do say, this suit does just perfect for me, Tom." He says in a low, but audible voice. Tom looks at him and the group of overlords not to far from your group and nods, as if understanding that a conflict with Alastor and them would not be good for his business establishment.

"Lets get you dressed and ring you both up." Tom declares, this time he seems to urge you to follow them. You don't dare argue though, feeling eyes on your now retreating form. You wait outside the dressing room, leaning against the wall. Your shadow is only visible to you now it seems. She's standing guard at the end of the hallway that you where led down just a couple of minutes ago.

You hear footsteps coming closer "I think she went this way... Val, why do you want this gal? We have so many females at your club." the man known as Vox grumbled. They stopped suddenly and you hear the moth man, Val speak "I don't want to let such a fine female out of my sight Vox... She the type too draw many clients with her beautiful and somewhat rare appearance. And I don't care if she was with that... Alastor fellow!" he snarled and continued walking closer to your hallway...
