Chapter 10

You didn't wait very long before your waitress came striding down the corridor leading to your VIP room, indicated by the click of her heels on the granite tile. She turned the corner into the room seductively, revealing that she was a succubus demon. She had silver hair and a dark gray skin. Her horns were silver/black and spiraled upwards forming a rounded V Shape. She was rather tall, with her heart shaped tail curling around her more than curvaceous waist. Her sclera's pitch black with silver/blue cat like eyes. She was beautiful to say the least, wearing a glistening dark purple long sheath dress with a revealing split up the side. She seemed snooty as well, only giving you a slight glance of disdain and then turning to give a heavy lustful gaze towards Alastor. Your left eye started to twitch... she then turned towards Charlie and Vaggie, giving them the same treatment that she gave you.

She walked closer towards the table, leaning down over Alastor, showing off her ample cleavage. Alastor face switched from flustered, annoyed and then disgusted by her behavior, but she took no mind to his reaction. She smiled "My name is Angelica, I'll be your waitress today..." she trailed off, standing straight up and taking her pen and pad out. "What would you like to drink... Radio Demon?" she said winking at him, her eyes drinking him all in. "I'll... uh... have a Dr Pepper Cherry Zero Sugar..." He trailed off, his voice static... Angelica's smile only widen at his reaction, then frowning as she turned towards you.

"What would you have, then?" she said coldly, eyeing you up and down with intense disdain in her eyes. You gave her a dazzling smile, showing her that her display didn't bother you one bit... well it did, but you wouldn't let it show, she didn't deserve to see your real reaction. "I'll have a... (YR/Drink)" you answered, keeping your voice light while lifting your hand up and flashing your engagement ring in the overhead light, then taking Alastor's larger hand in yours and curling your fingers through his, showing off his ring with yours clanking lightly against his own. Angelica's eyes flash with rage and then suddenly went stone cold.

She looked away from you with a huff and turned towards Charlie. She gave her a bow, seeming to only now just realize who Charlie was... 'That's funny...' you stifled a laugh bubbling up. You almost couldn't stop yourself. "And what would the Princess of Hell like to drink..." She said in a very seductive voice while bowing again and thrusting her ample chest forward. Charlie seemed flustered at Angelica bowing and flirting, putting her hands in the air "There's no need for bowing!" she was looking even more flustered by the second "and I'll have Mountain Dew... to drink..." she finished and looked at Vaggie for help.

Vaggie piped in harshly towards Angelica, seeming annoyed altogether. "I'll have Sprite Zero... and she doesn't like to be fawned over..." she sighed and you thought you heard "Bitch..." muttered under her breath. Angelica didn't seem to have noticed, or chose not to react to it. Alastor, who despite himself chuckled lowly "Well... we will have our orders ready for you in a little while, my dear. Thank you!" he said politely. She didn't seem to notice his laugh and smiled at him, bowing again and leaving as seductively as she came in.

Once you couldn't hear her heels clicking down the hall, you started to laugh, not being able to hold it in anymore. "She was so ridiculous!" you said, face palming yourself. Looking up, you saw Alastor wiping a tear from his eye, he had been laughing along with you. He couldn't seem to stop, doubling over the table. Which made you laugh even more. "Just to entertaining..." he finally gasped out. Vaggie was chuckling and Charlie was almost as bad as Alastor.

"She just had to bow! I just can't!" Charlie struggled to say "Oh... wait a minute this is the "Princess of Hell" I should now fawn over her and earn praise!..." she wheezed out laughing, then face palmed herself, blushing. Vaggie full on laughed at this, her cheeks flushing red. "And she was hitting on Alastor as if she couldn't tell that the woman sitting so close to him was dating him..." Vaggie gasped out, now doubling over the table herself, her fist pounding the marble. You blushed a bright red and started to fiddle with your menu, deciding you needed to find out what you wanted to eat...

The menu was full of fancy dishes you never heard of before and some that wasn't even written in English, some you couldn't tell what they were... But you did see (Whatever picks your fancy) and decided to get that. Everyone else decide on what they wanted soon after you, all seeming to have good timing because you heard the click of her heels down the hall once again. She turned the corner with a tray in her hands and place the drinks in the correct order given. Despite what had previously happen she was still flirting with Alastor and Charlie... again...

You guessed she was power hungry or something... She even started giving you the eyes... ughhh... you almost couldn't hold in your gag reflex. It wasn't that she was not pretty... but you were with Alastor and her personality thus far... was to be desired...

She took your orders and left down the hall once again, oddly smiling... maybe she thought she did something? Who knows... it wasn't long before she was back with your food, setting it down and leaving once again. Despite the service from your waitress it looked delicious!

As you ate, you listen to Vaggie and Charlie talk about Angel Dust's recent activities... "He said he saw Sir Pentious again and he just walk up to him and started to call him Daddy... I... What? Did I just miss something? I mean I know he was in a fight with him recently over a turf war... but..." she sighed and faced palmed herself in disbelief "and you know what Pentious did? He said "Son? Is that you?" and now he's chasing Angel around whenever he see's him and is parenting him..." Charlie laughed, not being able to contain herself with Vaggie joining in, with her hand covering her mouth.

You couldn't stop yourself from laughing either, this Angel Dust was freaking hilarious! Though you should of guessed, he seemed outrageous to begin with, but in a good way. You look up and see Alastor eye twitching and his face contorting from annoyance, disgust to outright laughter, finally joining in.

Charlie and Vaggie switched between the two of themselves talking about more mischief Angel got himself into with Husk and Niffty cute reaction's to the two. As they went on you began to get anxious about going to the Royal Library. You were even more curious about Alastor and what had just taken place with him. Who was this man you were marring really? What was his story? What was really going on? You were so confused and with what just happen... Ugh!

You played with your food and sipped what was left of your drink. You should of said no ice... Looking up you notice that everyone was finishing or done with their own meals. You sighed in relief. You soon could get your answers! "So have you guys set a date yet for the Wedding?" Charlie asked with stars in her eyes. Alastor smiled even more than normal "We are almost to that point, but be assured it will happen within the week or less." he said causally.

You nervously pinched at your clothing, blushing at the thought of getting married. You noticed Alastor looking at you. He leaned over and kissed your cheek, giving you a soft smile. "Well let's get out of here, me and Vaggie should go talk to my father and then I can show you guys the Royal Library!" Charlie said in excitement, getting up from her seat and leaving half the tip, despite your waitresses actions. Alastor did the same. You soon saw Angelica come into the room as if on cue, with your party's check, having assumed it was all on the same ticket. Alastor ever the gentlemen paid for it all, despite the protest from Charlie.

He linked his arm around yours and led you down the hall with Charlie and Vaggie walking ahead of you both. You were all to soon out of the restaurant. It started to rain, at first a couple of droplets that soon became a torrent of rain. Luckily, by that time you and your group had gotten into the limousine. It was odd seeing rain in Hell, but why not? If it was going to rain you assumed it would be this bad or worse anyway. It was Hell, right?

The limousine was soon on it's way down the now slick and wet streets of Hell and fast approaching the grand Palace. It was as if it came out of a dark Gothic fantasy. Tall dark tower spires jutted out as if to reach heaven above, it's roofs obsidian black and its stone walls dark gray. The artistic attention to detail, both Victorian and Gothic was beautiful. It suited Hell very well, it's what you'd expected, but not this grandiose or to this scale. The limousine stopped at the grand golden pearly gates, the gate's themselves seemed to mock heaven's own. The gates soon open to reveal a grand courtyard, perfect and groomed gardens surrounded the entryway.

You stared at Charlie, she grew up here... just wow! The thought of living here... You'd get lost just going to the kitchen from the size of it! You wonder if she knows the way around here more than not, or if she'd still get lost. You smiled as you and your group piled out of the limousine. You stretched and turned towards the golden grandiose doors and then towards Alastor. 'Wow! And you've been here before?' She said to him. His smile faltered as he touched her cheek gently with his black clawed fingers. 'More than you know...' he seemed sad all the sudden... you wondered why? Hmm...

'I'll tell you later...' was all he said as he took your hand in his and led the way towards the golden doors. Charlie and Vaggie were already there as you both approached. "Come on you two slow pokes!" Charlie laughed turning towards you both. The doors open as if on their own... a tall man made himself known, stepping out of the shadows as if he had just been apart of them himself. As he walked outside you could finally make out the details of his appearance. His long black hair was pulled up into a braided ponytail that reached the middle of his back, his face far to handsome with long elven ears, his sclera's pitch black and eyes glowing red with cat like slits for pupils. His skin was a very light tan, a stark contrast to his pitch black rather large raven wings. He was wearing a black silk butler suit with crisscrossing silver chains at his bottom torso.

He grinned showing off his very white vampiric fangs. "Welcome," he bowed towards your group "I am Bastian Shadow, the head butler of this castle as well as one of it's many protectors. I am honored to see you again Princess Charlotte Magne and who may these..." He trailed off as he looked up at Alastor, his smug expression dropping to that of absolute shock and fear.

"So... you have been set free... somehow... Alabastien Archion." he paused, catching his breath, as if he was going to have a panic attack. "How, may I ask... did you get out?..." You looked from Bastian to Alastor, truly confused. He had a cruel expression appear on his face and did a mock bow. "I am here because those bars could never keep me for long... Lead me to Lucifer if you will Bastian, old friend..." Alastor said with a cruel edge to his non static voice.

Bastian looked truly scared, as if he couldn't quite grasp what was happening, but he bowed and gestured towards the inside of the castle. "Follow me... Alabastien, Princess Charlotte Magne, Vaggie and..." He paused looking towards you in question. "My name is Y/N." you say quickly as Alastor or rather Alabastien tighten his grip on your hand. 'Let's just go with Alastor, okay? I prefer that name for now. Please don't freak out, I will explain very soon...' he said into your mind, he seemed stressed, even angry. What had happen so long ago between them... Lucifer?

You looked towards Vaggie and Charlie to see how they where holding up. They looked truly freaked out and confused. They both look back at you at the same time, as if in sync. True fear for you displayed on Charlie's face especially, Vaggie looked more confused than anything.

What was going on?...
