Strawberry Pimp ~ Alastor

Chapter 1

I was watching the news at the "Happy Hotel." Charlie, aka Lucifer and Lilith's daughter, has an interview with the news today about the hotel. Her idea is she wanted demons to be redeemed and be able to go to heaven instead of getting murdered every year. I think it's strange but I owe Lucifer a favor. He got me out of trouble a while back in the 1930's so I owe him. And here is me repaying him. I also help him make his ducks but that's just for fun. Anywho, the interview was going alright so far. And I'm saying alright because Charlie hasn't started singing, not because people like the idea. I stopped listening and started brushing and braiding my tail that was resting on the couch next to me. When I looked back up Charlie was singing. I groan and turn off the tv.

"When will she learn," I mumble and go to the kitchen to find something to eat. When I looked in the fridge all I saw was popsicles, vodka, and soda. I roll my eyes and grab the vodka and a popsicle. I open the vodka and take a long drink straight from the bottle. Then I start to eat the popsicle. After about 30 minutes Charlie, Vaggie, and Angel all walked in. Charlie looked depressed, Vaggie looked furious, and Angel looked smug. Angel went to the fridge and grabbed a popsicle.

"It's prolly a good idea to get some actual food in this place. Y'know, to feed all the wayward souls ya got in here," Angel says and laughs but when he looks at Charlie sitting and depressed and shit he has a guilty look on his face. I throw my popsicle stick at him and glare. He shrugs and sits next to me. Charlie gets up and leaves to go outside and I sigh.

"What did you do Dust," I ask accusingly and he mock gasps.

"What makes you think I would do anything," he says in mock offense and I give him a deadpan look. He giggles nervously and starts wringing both sets of hands.

"I may or may not have joined a turf war with Cherry Bomb," he starts and I glare at him as he stares a hole into the floor. "And it may or may not have gotten on the news when Charlie was trying to prove that the Hotel was working." When he finishes I smack him upside the head. He whines but I continue to glare at him.

"You could have help Cher any day and you chose today when you knew Charlie was going to be showing you on the news," I say with gritted teeth and he looks down ashamed. I sigh and take a long sip of the vodka. Charlie walks back in and sighs, sliding down the door. I get up and walk over to her. She looks up and I hold the bottle out to her.

"You want a sip? You look like you need it," I say with a small smile and she shakes her head.  My head shoots up when a musical knock sounds on the door. Charlie gets up and answers the door only to see the one and only....... Alastor. The Radio Demon is at the door.

"Hel-" he gets cut off by Charlie slamming the door closed. She opens the door again. "lo-" he gets cut off by her slamming the door again.

"Hey Vaggie," Charlie calls out, walking to the living area.

"What," she calls out, still annoyed by Angel.

"The Radio Demon is at the door," I say in a sing song voice and she shoots up as I go to sit on the couch.

"What," she shouts and Angel looks at me confused.

"Who," he asks and I look at him shocked.

"What should I do," she asks nervously.

"Well, don't let him in," Vaggie shouts and I mouth "open the door" to Charlie. She turn towards the door and walks towards it as my smile grows with each step she takes. She opens the door slowly and Alastor is still there with his usual grin that I am matching right now.

"May I speak now," he says in his radio voice that would usually scare people shitless but not me. Because I know I'm more powerful than him.

"You may," Charlie says in her best royalty voice.
