Crossing the Thresholds: Alastor x reader love story

Part 26 ~ Killing The Board Of Directors

Five and I looked at each other, knowing what we're getting into. I'm sure Alastor is going to enjoy this, either watching me or actually helping spilling blood.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As we were walking to the building The Board was supposed to be in, Alastor changed back into his human form. As we were getting closer to the building, a bunch of questions popped in my head. I decided that I should start asking Five what's going on.

"Why didn't you talk to me about this? You know I was gonna say yes."

"I knew that, but I also knew you'd ask questions." There was a short pause before he started again. "Questions I can not answer."

I just nodded, deciding to drop it for now. Since we're about to kill The Board, right now really wasn't a good time to ask more questions. Especially questions like, 'Why do I feel like I know The Handler?', 'How does she know me?', 'Why do I have this feeling that, that won't be the last time I see her?', and even more questions. I didn't even know who The Board of directors were till I read Fives' mind. Then more memories flashed in my head to fill in at least some blanks...but not all. As that did fill in some blanks, it caused more questions to be triggered. What I was seeing was in first person point of view, so I couldn't even tell who that person was. It was like I was seeing scenes through their eyes. I have this feeling that there was this big chunk of my life that I can't seem to remember. Why can't I remember what I'm supposed to remember? What the hell happened?

On that note, as we walked inside the building we noticed a woman messing around with a few things on a nearby table, and by the looks of it, she works here. We walked up to her, thinking she might be able to help us.

"Excuse me." 

"Uff da. You snuck up on me there. If you're looking for the cookies, we don't put 'em out till 3:00."

"I can hardly wait. Uh, Do you happen to know where the Midwest Soybean Society is meeting?"

"Sure do. Muskellunge Banquet Room. You lookin for your mom? She in for the convention?"

"Hey, could I get some change?" Five asked, avoiding her question and pulling out some cash.

""Oh, sure. I'll just look in my purse. Only a nickel and a couple of dimes. Oh! You...are...in...luck, mister." Five grabbed the changed from her, ready to say something.

"You know, some say the best luck is to die at the right time."

She looked absolutely scared and confused by what Five said.

"Thanks, uh..." I looked at her name tag. "Kathy! Thanks so much, Kathy. We'll be taking our leave now." I smiled, grabbing Five's arm and walking away.

As we made it to the vending machine Five spotted earlier, I leaned against a table behind Five that had a cake on it, while Five put the change in. He pressed a few buttons and the Fudge Nutter started to come on but got stuck. This got Five pissed. As he kept on struggling and shaking the vending machine, me and the Hazbin Hotel crew watched as he grew more and more pissed by the second, pretty amused with the situation.

"Five?"

No answer.

"Five?"

Still no answer.

"Five!"

He didn't answer me but he did start shaking the vending machine more violently and started yelling at it.

"Fucking fudge nutter!" 

After he yelled, he kicked in the glass on the vending machine. He scratched the back of his neck, hopping no one saw that. He walked over to the table I was leaning on, noticing the cake. He slide his finger along the front of it and licked the cake of his finger. He noticed an axe hanging on the wall. He grabbed it, walking back in front of the doors, licking his finger again, ready to go in. I smiled, turned back to the Hazbin Hotel crew.
