Moments before the incident that had happened on the roof. Charlie was down on the ground fighting with everyone else the barrier was still up. She was trying to not get her hopes up about them winning. Yet the odds seemed to be in her favor. AngelDust and Husk were fighting off the Angels. As was Cherri, throwing her angelic-made bombs at the enemy. Even Nifty was helping....well in her way that was. Running around stabbing the already defeated angels that were dead on the ground. Charlie was fighting alongside Vaggie and everything was going well. Until there was a loud explosion on the barrier. Bringing it down around the hotel and everyone that it was trying to protect. The explosion sent Charlie and Vaggie to the ground. Charlie looked up and saw that the one who had destroyed the barrier was Adam himself. At that moment Charlie panicked as she watched Adam fly over to the top of the roof where she knew Alastor was. Now Charlie knew how powerful Alastor was. Yet there was a nagging feeling in her gut that she knew she had to go to him.
"Vaggie I'm going to go and help Alastor!" Charlie said as she got up from the ground and ran towards the hotel's doors.
"Charlie wait come back!" Vaggie yelled at her, trying to run after her. Only to be stopped by an enemy coming at her blocking her path.
Charlie was running up the stairs to the roof of the hotel as fast as her body could take her. Once she reached the top she flung the door to the roof open. Only to stop in fear as she watched Adam attack Alastor breaking his staff. Without even a second thought or hesitation. Charlie ran as fast as she could to Alastor. Hoping she would make it in time to prevent Alastor from being killed. She jumped in front of the oncoming blow that was Adam's guitar coming right at Alastor. Yet the blow never made contact with Alastor. Instead, he had struck Charlie, which sent both her and Alastor flying and landing at the edge of the hotel's wall. Charlie lay there as blood started to pool out of her. Her vision had become foggy and she was going in and out of consciousness. She didn't regret her decision to save Alastor.
(Alastor's POV)
Alastor crawled over to where Charlie was lying. He slowly rolled her over, so that the front of her was facing him. What he witnessed made his blood freeze in his veins. Sending emotions he thought he had gotten rid of many years ago, to go racing in his head. There lay Charlie with a long gash in the middle of her chest. The wound was deep and blood was pooling out of it. Alastor slowly put his hand under Charlie's head and lifted her. He then held her in his arms, not caring at the moment that his clothes were becoming stained with blood.
"Charlie my dear, please wake up," Alastor said as he gently tried to shake her awake. "My dear demon Belle please open your eyes," Alastor said as he could feel that panic was finally starting to set in. "Charlie come now this is no time for lying around. You need to get up and fight!" Alastor said his voice starting to tremble. He was in denial of what had happened. Not wanting to think of Charlie being gone from this Hellish world they lived in. "Charlie my dear why...why would you save me? You could be protecting anyone else and yet you decided to pick me? I don't understand." Alastor said voice slowly breaking as he closed his eyes trying everything in his power to not cry. Then he felt something touch his cheek on his face. He snapped his eyes open and looked down. Charlie was looking up at him. Her eyes barely open and blood had started to slowly drip down the side of her mouth.
"Al why...why wo...wouldn't I protect...y..you?" Charlie asked tears forming in her eyes.
"I don't...understand though my dear. I am the Radio Demon, one of the most feared overlords of hell. Yet you decided to save me in my time of need?" Alastor said while putting his hand on top of Charlie's that was currently still on his face.
"The reason is that I care about you Alastor," Charlie said as she tried to smile
Alastor froze after hearing those words. Which were on repeat in his head. He blinked a few times and looked her start in the eyes.
"Did you just say that you care about...me?" Alastor asked feeling as if he may have missed heard her with all the extra noise from the fight going on down below.
"Yes, Al I...did" Her smile started to fade as she could feel herself starting to lose consciousness once again. Only this time she believed there wouldn't be a next time to her waking up. Alastor had taken notice of Charlie's behavior and the feeling of her hand slowly slipping from his face.
"Charlie my dear demon Belle please stay awake! Do not close your eyes! Stay with me, please!" Alastor yelled out to her, her hand now having fallen to the ground. There was no reply coming from her. No movement from her body, no smile to be seen, no angelic voice to be heard. Alastor brought Charlie up to him as he held her tighter, not wanting to admit the truth.
"Oh wow, I guess the bitch finally died did she?" Adam said with a grin as he started laughing
"You should see your sad and pathetic look that's on your stupid face!" Adam yelled towards Alastor while pointing and laughing even harder.
Alastor could feel all his demonic power starting to rise around him as he started to transform into his more demonic self.
Adam had taken notice of this and grinned. "You still think the likes of you can take me on? Don't make me lau..." Adam's gloating was cut short as someone had flown right at him. Punching him square in the face. Alastor's eyes widened as he saw Lucifer...
