Til Death do us Part (An Alastor love story)

Chapter Eight

Alastor and Everleigh got in the car and he began driving.

"So why did we come to the mansion?" Everleigh asked.

"I come back every now and then to hunt." He answered, "some demons find my mansion so I kill them off before they can tell where I am."

"That's kinda smart." She replied as she held her head in her right hand and looked out the window.

Alastor's smile disappeared as he glanced at her gloomy look. He looked at her wedding ring on her left hand. He held her hand.

"You're still uneased about last night, aren't you darling?" He questioned.

"I'm fine, Al." She spoke.

Alastor stopped the car and put it in park.

He turned to her, "Darling, please tell me what's troubling you."

She chuckled, "It's such a stupid reason."

"Anything that troubles you will never be a stupid reason to me. Please Everleigh, tell me." He plead, "was it because I was angry?"

Everleigh sighed, "I guess. You never acted like that towards me before. I feel like you don't love me as much now."

Alastor cupped her cheeks and turned her face to him, "Darling, just because I get upset and we get into an argument, doesn't mean I'll love you any less than I did before. I got angry because you could've been killed. Most demons in Hell know that I am a heartless monster. If they found out I had a soft spot for a sweet innocent soul such as yourself, they'll do their absolute best to rip us apart and kill you for their pleasure. I love you with all my heart, darling. And I want to protect you as much as I can."

Everleigh softly smiled as Alastor kissed her lips. He smiled at her and began driving again. After driving for a bit, he parked at the hotel. He got out and opened the car door for Everleigh. He took her hand as she stepped out.

They walked in the hotel.

"We have returned!" Alastor sang.

"Hey Al!" Charlie smiled, "how was your time away?"

"Splendid, Charlie!" He answered, "we had a blast. How are things here?"

"Slow, but we are making the best of it." She answered, "how did you like the mansion, Everleigh?"

"It was beautiful." She answered.

Charlie glanced at her injuries and looked at her exhausted face. She started questioning in her mind.

"Hey doll face." Angel Dust spoke from behind her.

"Oh hey Angel-Oh my goodness a piggy!" She smiled.

Angel Dust was holding a small pig, "oh yeah. This is Fat Nuggets."

"He's so cute." Everleigh smiled, "can I hold him?"

"Yeah sure." Angel answered, "I don't see why not."

"Hey Angel, why don't you show Everleigh Fat Nuggets' play area?" Charlie asked.

"Okayyyyyy." Angel gave her a questionable look.

She slightly nudged her head towards Alastor. He quickly caught on.

"Come on, doll. Nuggsy's got some cool stuff." He told her as he wrapped an arm around her and started walking away.

Alastor turned his head to Charlie as Vaggie walked up to her, "why did you do that?"

"What happened while you were gone?" She questioned as she crossed her arms.

"I'm sorry my dear but I have no idea what you're imply-"

"The bandages on her knees, Al!" She spoke.

"She wondered into the woods and fell is all." Alastor answered, "even though I said to stay inside because of the demons that linger around."

"What about the viscous bite mark on her neck?" Vaggie asked.

"Bite mark? Charlie asked, "I didn't see a bite mark."

"Her hair moved a certain way and I got a good glimpse of it." Vaggie answered.

The 2 girls turned to Alastor but he was gone.
