Y/N: Your name.

(Y/F/FL): Your Favorite Flavor.

Chapter 23: A Demented Smile...

You were now standing in front of the giant cake with your new family and Alastor. The crowd cheered as you took in a big breath and blew out the many candles on the massive cake to a loud applause from the said crowd of demons surrounding you.

You cut the cake to discover that it was Y/F/FL. You suppressed a moan from escaping your mouth at the thought. You had a sudden flashback to eating the same cake as a child with Lucifer, Lilith and Alabastien around you as you squealed, smashing the cake with your tiny hands, only five at the time.

You smiled at the memory, going to sit back down with your cake at your seat, your family following with their own cake slices. Soon everyone in the ballroom had a piece of cake, with an assortment of other deserts as well.

It was finally drawing to a close... an end to this long day and then you could relax. A sigh escaped your mouth before you took a bite of the decadent cake. Moaning despite yourself at the flavor that burst into your mouth. You had a plate of the other deserts place in front of you to try... and man were they good...

"Now, it's the birthday's girls time to open her presents!" Lucifer said in joyful voice. You gulped, looking towards the table... the amount alone... would take you most, if not an entire day to open all of them...

You stood up and walked towards the massive table, heavy with gifts of all sorts. Making you wonder how the table could bear the weight. Bastian was suddenly standing by you and started to hand you gifts, saying who they were from and reassuring you that they were all checked for security reasons.

You opened the gifts from your new uncles and one aunt. They were weapons mostly, beautiful daggers, swords and guns, all with deadly enchantments. Your aunt though gave you a wonderful set of makeup and perfumes, and other... womanly things. You bowed and thank them, with a genuine smile on your lips.

Stolas's gifts were an assortment of crystals and spell books, which made you smile. They would come in handy. You bowed and thanked Stolas. The other gifts were from the other Princes and Overlords. And they were almost to many to go through... you love opening gifts like any other person, but this was to much...

You were made to open all of them... with everyone's steady unnerving gazes... you were thankful... but that was... to many... gifts... which left your eyes swirling with exhaustion. Not only did you receive material items, but so much money. You didn't think that was legal... they were practically bribing you...

Soon the crowd of demons were made to leave to their guest rooms by the staff of the castle, making the castle where you stood feel rather empty. And you rather relieved.

Angel, Husk, Baxter were escorted to the guest rooms for the night, while you, Alastor and Niffty were escorted by Gothall to your bedroom once again.

Niffty was jumping up and down, suddenly exited for what you and Alastor were going to tell her. You had to be quick, but you still wanted to take your time with her. This was going to be life altering...

"Niffty me and Y/N have some things to tell you that are going to be very life altering..." Alastor said with a gentle voice, with no static evident, echoing your thoughts. Nifty was sitting across from you on the other couch, looking up with awe at you both.

"Me and Y/N have come to a decision... we want to make you our real child. Which would mean that you would have to go through an intensive transformation. It will be painful, but you would be royalty and truly our child." he paused to see her expression, which was one of confusion.

"It would happen after the wedding, of course. And you would have a mother you always wanted..." Alastor finished, his smile gentle. Niffty sat up straighter and looked at you with maturer eyes than you thought possible for someone her age. She stared for a long time... making you want to squirm in your seat.

"I do want it... as long as you are both there with me... I don't know what will happen and I don't know you, Y/N very well... but if daddy loves you, I will to! And if it means I get to stay with daddy... I'll do it!" Niffty said with an adorable and all to innocent expression, now looking at you both intensely.

Alastor face lit up with such genuine joy that you couldn't help, but feel the same, a smile blooming on your face. He bent over and picked Niffty up in his arms and hugged her tightly, but gentle all the same. He crept his long arm around your shoulders making you join in on the hug.

A knock on the door followed by Bastian's voice startled you from the hug "Isabella from Hellfire Designs is here, along with your sister, mother and Vaggie." You broke from the hug, kissing Alastor on the cheek as you got up, going to the door and opening it.

They all filled into the room with wide smiles on their faces. Isabella held both of your dresses in her arms, both looking even more beautiful than before if that was even possible. Gothall that was now standing by the door, went to help Isabella with the dresses.

Everyone crowded both couches as you followed Isabella and Gothall into your closet to try the dresses on. You easily slid inside your first dress, it fitting you like a glove. Which left you amazed at how quickly they fixed the situation.

Gothall grabbed your train as you left your closet. Their expressions were enough to make you blush. They were in absolute awe, while Niffty squealed. She jumped out of Alastor's arms and landed into yours, poking at the material in awe "Mommy... it's beautiful!" you smiled at Niffty while shifting her weight in your arms.

"Thank you, sweetie! Now how about you go back to Daddy, okay?" Niffty smiled up at you, nodding while jumping down and running back into his now open arms. You twirled in your ceremonial gown, showcasing it to everyone.

They all clapped with wide smiles and encouraged you to show the other one. You, Isabella and Gothall left for your closet again. You quickly got out of the first wedding dress and then got into the wedding reception dress. Which slid on just as nicely as the first.

It fit you like a glove, showcasing all of your curves, especially your bust. Making you blush at the revealing nature of the gown itself. Gothall went ahead of you and held open the door for you as you walked out into your bedroom.

The room erupted into oohs and aahhs. Their jaws seeming to hit the floor, making you blush heavily. You looked to Alastor seeing his eyes glow brightly and his smile seeming to a strain against his face.

You blushed at his intense stare and began to squirm. But then you remembered the feeling of being powerful when you first showed him the dress. You returned his stare and smiled, showcasing your sharp fangs. He licked his lips and returned a seductive smile in turn.

You blush deepened as you twirled around, showing all the sides of the dress to the rest of your family. Then you quickly retreated back to your closet, your heart pounding faster. Your cheeks flushing even more. If that was even possible.

You dressed into a nice t-shirt and slacks that you found, wanting to go to bed soon. Exhaustion bearing down on you in waves. Gothall gathered both of your dresses and put them up in the closet before joining you and Isabella out into your bedroom.

"Well now that that's done with and you all seem satisfied. I will take my leave. Thank you!" Isabella said with a sharp toothy smile and a deep bow. Bastian said goodnight to everyone, bowing and showing her out of your room.

You turned to your family, stretching and yawning loudly "Well, I like to go to bed and I'm sure you all would as well, so good night." you said, going and hugging your mother and sister. While waiving goodnight to Vaggie. Your sister, Charlie and Vaggie left your room, both yawning themselves.

Your mother took Niffty into her arms "I'll take my future granddaughter to her room." she smiled brightly giving a loving squeeze to Niffty "and sweet dreams!" she finished. You went up to your mother and said goodnight to both Niffty and your mother along with Alastor, watching them all leave your room with Gothall as she bowed and said her good night as well.

You sighed, walking over to your bed and sliding under covers, curling into a ball while releasing a groan of tired bliss. Today was rather long and hard and tomorrow was your wedding day. Who would have thought that your life would go this way? Well... unlife...

You turned your head and saw Alastor mimicking your movements, dressed in his sleep attire. Red silky pajama pants and no shirt... making you blush yet again at the sight of his pecks... he gave you a soft yawn, slowly blinking while pulling you close to his chest.

"Goodnight, my love." his deep voice rumbled "Goodnight." you said softly as you cuddled into his warm embrace with his soft breathing, lulling you quickly to sleep...

Standing on your balcony, you stared up at the black/red starry filled night sky. Seeing the very same white heavenly planet, floating ominously above you and all of Hell. Suddenly the sky was filled with flashes of what appeared to be comets falling... to blinding to be normal...

Sirens could be heard throughout the area, loud and blaring. Making your ears pin themselves to your skull. Warning all of the oncoming dangers. Were you dreaming again?... was this a warning of the future... or... The flapping of wings and a blinding light made you cover your eyes. Fear racing up your spine suddenly.

The hairs on your arms raised in alarm as Lucian appeared once again in your dreams... because this had to be one... right? His feet gracefully landed on the railing as you stepped back, your eyes widening with alarm.

You had to figure out how he was able to access your dreams like this... and to get away from him in the meantime. You didn't want to be near him or for him to embrace you again...

You stepped back until the cold handle of your glass balcony door was against the palm of your hand. You opened it quickly, walking backwards and slamming the door, while locking it just as quickly.

His glowing golden eyes gave you a questioning glare that you didn't care to go into further and quickly ran from your bedroom and into the many twisting halls of the castle. You thought of back when you made yourself invisible and thought that maybe that could work.

You tried to concentrate and succeeded, luckily. Looking at your now see through hand. His footsteps sounded loud, like he was right behind you, making a chill run down your spine. You dared to look behind you... finding that he was almost on you, his eyes glaring down at you in anger.

You quickened your pace, turning a sharp corner and quickly turning down another. Soon you somehow found yourself near the hidden doorway Bastian had opened earlier. You somehow opened the hidden door and quickly closed it behind you, breathing heavily.

This dream was very realistic... you looked forward and sighed. It was pitch black... so you felt for the wall and made your way down the long hallway. Eventually you found the stairs and decided to take a seat to rest.

He couldn't find you in here... right? You heard a muffled voice, creepily calling your name... it made you wince in panic. Was he already so close?... you had to figure out how to get out of this dream!

Getting up you decided not to chance it and started down the long stairs, his voice only getting louder by the second. You opened the secret door at the end of the stairs and exited into the once dusty storage room behind the throne.

His voice was now gone... so maybe you lost him. You looked down at your hand and made sure you were still invisible. Luckily you were. You quickly left the storage room and entered into a sight... you'd never forget...

Your entire family was dead... their bloody corpses littered the throne room, draped against their thrones in a mockery. Their lifeless eyes sightlessly accusing you of their deaths. You turned and saw all of your uncles and one aunt dead besides the thrones... and then you saw Alastor... frozen in a standing position reaching out to something or someone...

You ran over to his frozen body, touching his frozen face with a loving desperate hand. Tears threatening to fall from your eyes as a deep demonic growl emitted from your chest. If this ever came to be... you would become the monster they wish they'd killed again...

You heard the doors of the throne room opening and loudly banging against the walls, giving you no time to grieve. You turned, your eyes blazing with anger. No more running!

Electricity arced across your entire body, zapping angrily with loud sharp whipping noises, no longer invisible "Ahh such a beautiful sight. Your body..." Lucian said with a demented smile and a sharp clapping from his hands.

"You see... if you don't come to me... I'll kill all of your family and freeze Alabastien... well now "known" as Alastor in his own eternal hell... forced to forever know that you are out of his grasp and that the ones he loves are gone forever." he said with hand over his face with a demented smile, beginning to laugh hysterically.

"You can't even... he his far stronger than you! And I won't come to you! Not ever!" you practically screamed, your lighting only growing stronger across your body, arcing into your surroundings, with blue flames erupting from your skin.

This only made him laugh louder, now suddenly standing right in front of you, reminding you of his tall stature "So beautiful..." he said, his eyes roaming across your body greedily.

Your eyes widen as he bent over and grasped both sides of your face, kissing you forcefully...
