Time Warp (Alastor x OC)

Ch 71

This is the first one of their audio videos I've seen that actually had the lyrics with it, too.

I'm hoping I can sit down and make some art soon, but every day I've been getting home from work and just passing tf out, and then when I wake up I'm like "oh fuck" cus I haven't posted my chapter yet 😂😂

Anyway, enjoy the song and today's chapter, love you, byeeee🤪

Ps: I only got to proof read this one twice, so if you see any mistakes please point them out.

Alastor's POV

I sighed, staring at my reflection in the bathroom mirror.

After scanning over my features for moment, my eyes fell to the spot on my side where there had been a bullet hole only hours prior.

I can't sleep...

Every time I close my eyes, I see that boy.

It was regrettable...having to kill him. Something I'm not used to is feeling regret after a kill.

Normally, the scum I introduce my knife to isn't worth a second thought, let alone empathy.

The kid didn't do anything wrong, per-say...I know when I was younger, I made plenty of mistakes with my gun.

I never accidentally shot a man...but, still...I could tell he didn't mean to.

My lips set into a soft frown as I looked down in thought.

"M-my ma..."

His mother...probably worried sick right about now. I couldn't help but imagine my mother in her place...worriedly fidgeting at the front door, gazing into the distance.

Waiting for a son that will never return.

The body of which is probably being devoured right now by coyotes.

Yet...however unfortunate it may be that his life ended that way...I was simply protecting something I see as far more valuable.

I spared a young man once...that kid brother of the heathen that put his hands on Fawn in a most inappropriate manner.

And she paid the price for that.

My eyes lifted back to my reflection, my gaze hardened. I'll do what I have to if it means she stays safe.

I'll kill who I have to.

"Alastor..."

My back straightened and I looked towards the door with a surprised smile plastered on my face.

Fawn stood there, rubbing her eye sleepily before she yawned.

"What're you doin' baby? You need sleep..." she said groggily.

The feelings of regret seemed to wash away looking at her. My smile melted into something softer and and I shook my head.

"I...can't sleep at the moment, my love...but don't let me keep you up, you should—" my words fell off as she approached me, slipping her arms around my waist before pressing her face into my chest.

"Mmm..." she snuggled her face into my front before lifting her head and resting her chin on my sternum to look up at me.

"When you don't sleep, I have a hard time sleeping..." she said softly, "because I like knowing you're ok...and I prefer having you in bed with me."

I laid my hands on her back and sighed.

"I know...ok, then, come on. Let's lay down," I suggested, ushering her towards the bed.
