Your Afterlife (Alastor x reader) Hazbin Hotel

Chapter 12: Search

Timeskip 1 month:

This morning, I couldn't find Alastor. I decided to ask the others whether they have seen him or whether anyone knows what he's up to.

Everyone was currently being in the lobby anyway. So I ask: "Hey guys, has anyone of you seen Alastor?"

Charlie: "I haven't. Sorry."
Vaggie: "Ugh... no."
Husk: "I don't care."
Angel: "Oh no. I'm sorry toots, I haven't seen him around. Last time I saw him was last evening when he cooked some jambalaya."
Nifty: "Huh?"

I asked: "Will anyone come with me into pentagram city and help me search for him?"
Angel sighs: "I would if I could but I have to go to work now."

I quickly hugged Angel goodbye before he left.
After a few minutes, I left too.
I took a taxi to pentagram city and then got out and walked on the roads, on the search for Al.

Suddenly, I bumped into someone.
I took a few steps back.

Just to see a tall as heck demonic figure standing right in front of me. Holy shit. He looked even more intimidating than Alastor. His waist was just as skinny as Alastor's. Why is everyone so god damn skinny here in Hell?! He had a black hat with a small skull pin on it. Also, he had 4... eyes... which were entirely light green.

I just bowed and mumbled: "I beg your pardon."

His voice was very deep and sounded ancient: "Doth thee know who I am?"

A realisation dawned: "Oh... my....! You are Zestial, right? The oldest overlord of Hell..."
He hummed: "Indeed. And who might thee be?"

I stuttered awkwardly: "I'm just a regular sinner. Please don't mind me. I assume you have much more important things to take care of than conversationing with some random sinner-."

He silently asked: "Why is it thee aren't setting theeself on fire as the others do?"
I suddenly noticed that the other sinners around us were burning and going insane.
I awkwardly asked: "Why are those sinners around us burning?"
He hummed: "I usually have that effect on sinners. But thee... have to seem an invisible shield of protection surrounding thee wherever thee go."

So his pure presence usually makes sinners usually set themselves on fire? Such a... charmer. Sarcasm isn't the solution, y/n. Wait... why am I surrounded by a protection shield? I didn't even have any idea they were a thing in Hell? Well... in any case, I should get away from this ancient mighty madness-inducing overlord.

I decided to just run away while he was pondering.
I only just heard him mumble: "T'was the work of Alastor perhaps. But why would he protect an irrelevant sinner?"

I kept running for a few minutes. I didn't even know where I was running. I just wanted to get away. Until I accidently bumped into someone else again while running.

SERIOUSLY?? HOW MANY MORE TIMES AM I GONNA BUMP INTO SOMEONE?
I took a few steps back to look at the person I just bumped into.
She was quite tall. Her hair was as white as snow. Her hair was formed into some kind of horns? Idk how to describe it. And her outfit is mostly black while the sleeves of the outfit were white tho.

In an annoyed tone, she asked: "Can't you watch where you are going?"

Huh. She speaks with a Spanish accent. Hold on... one of the overlords is called... Carmilla Carmine. Is that her? Pfff .... no. How likely is it to run into 2 overlords without meaning to in a short walk through the city?

I bowed again and said: "My apologies."

She just hummed and walked away. Huh.
I just noticed that the building of the Vees wasn't far away anymore. I should take a look there. Oh yeah! Perhaps he is taking revenge on the remaining Vees!
So I ran to the building and just walked in.

Timeskip 25 minutes:
I took me quite a bit to finally find the headquarter rooms of this huge building. When I entered them, I saw how Vox was just about to strangle Alastor to death while pressing him against the wall.

I grabbed one of the heavy big screens in the room and quickly wracked it against Vox's head with as much force I could muster. He actually sank to the ground and passed out.

I shrieked: "Alastor! Let's get the fuck out of here!"
Alastor spit a bit of his blood in his mouth on the ground and then replied: "We aren't leaving until my work is done, y/n."

I pretended to be offended: "Aren't you gonna say thank you? Like... for saving your life just in time."
Alastor grunted impatiently: "Later."

After saying those words, he just jumped on Vox. Brutally ripping him into pieces. He continued doing so until Vox wasn't recognisable anymore. It was just a pile of TV components, leftovers of his clothes and some blood.

I was just standing there. Watching. Being unsure why I declined intervening. I knew Vox was a bad person and he assaulted me... but did that justify letting him get killed in Hell?

Then, suddenly Valentino entered the room: "My flat-headed prince, I-...."
He then saw the remains of his fuckbuddy on the ground.

Val yelled: "You'll pay for this badly, Radio Demon! I'll hunt down your lover and then I'll rape her so hard that it will rearrange her guts and I'll make you watch!!!"

I was terrified. Alastor stood in front of me. He made his tentacles teleport me to the hotel. He then morphed into a shadow and followed me back into my room. He morphed into his self again.

I just started yelling at him: "HAVE YOU GONE INSANE? WHY DID-..."
He pulled me in for a hug: "I'll protect you, dear. I won't give him any chance to hurt you."
I hugged him back. But I was still scared for my life.
