Home Sweet Home (Alastor X OC love story)

Chapter 5 Consequences

Faith's new design is coming very soon.  Before any one asks...No. Faith's design was not part of the reason why I am rewriting the story. I just feel like updating her design a bit.

***Alastor's POV***

Once the shock of what happened wore off, I felt a surge of anger and irritation. It takes a lot of self-control not to shift back into demon form and chase after that fucker. I swear if I ever find out who hurt Faith, I will make sure they suffer. I would have gone after him, but that isn't the most important issue right now. Faith is injured and that must be taken care of first.

It was a bit of a shock when Faith shouted and then took off suddenly. I couldn't react for a moment. Her rescuing Amy, breaking the attacker's arm, and her getting knocked down all happened so fast.

I am a little irritated at Faith though. How could she be so reckless? She could have been killed. What if he attacked her while she was down?

Clearly, I would have stepped in at that point, but that is besides the point. I will certainly need to talk to her about that recklessness of hers.

***Faith's POV***

Once I think I can stand a hand reaches down to me. I look up and see Alastor holding out his hand. He's still wearing that smile of his, but it's tense and strained. He's upset. I know that much for sure. Weather It's cause the guy escaped or the that I basically threw myself into a dangerous situation I don't know for sure. Maybe it's both.

I grab his hand and like I am as light as a feather he pulls me up easily. As I look at him it's clear that he isn't happy. Before either of us could say anything, Ted comes running out of his house.

"Faith! Are you ok?" He asks worried.

"Yea I'm fine."

He looks over my face and notices the cut.

"No you are not fine Faith. You're hurt and bleeding."

"Really Ted it's just a scratch. I will be fine." I insist.

Ted then grabs my hand and starts pulling toward his house.

"Nope you're coming in and I am fixing up your cheek. No ifs ands or buts about it." He says while walking.

Alastor follows us into the house. Ted sits me down in the living room and tells me to stay there. I roll my eyes as he walks away.

"Dear, are you sure you're alright?" Alastor asks while wearing that same tense smile.

"Uh...Yea...I mean I don't really feel it right now. So, I think I will be fine." I say feeling a little nervous under his tense gaze.

"Dear."

"Yes?"

"We need to talk when we get home." He says in a very serious tone.

"Ok. Ok. We'll talk later. Now can you stop looking at me like that? It's making me uncomfortable." I say not want to keep feeling the intensity of his gaze.

After that sentence the look in his eyes shift to confusion.

"What do you mean?" He asks me confused.

Wait. Does he not know he's been giving an uncomfortable and intense look.

"You've been giving me this uncomfortable and intense look and I can't stand you looking at me like that." I say honestly.

It suddenly looks like he is about to apologize. Before he can though Ted return with a med kit to fix my cheek with. He looks at it closely and tells me he doesn't think it's deep enough to need stitches. I sigh in relief at that. Stitches don't sound fun.
