Broadcast (Radioapple/Appleradio)

- Chapter 8: Nightmares -

!!Mention of a panic attack!!

Alastor headed to his room, calling it a day. He closed the door and turned on his radio to hear some 1930's music. "A bird in a gilded cage" was playing, as the overlord took a book and sat on the edge of his bed, crossing his legs and read his book.

It was all going well, a peaceful afternoon, that is, until radio static was heard. Alastor looked at his radio, getting up and walking toward it to check it. After a few looks, the radio static stopped. Alastor shrugged it off and walk towards the bed, his ears pinning upwards before sitting down, hearing a familiar voice now come out of the radio. He looked back at the radio, confused on how he could hear that same voice he hadn't heard for almost a century now.

???: "Hello?"

A: "Mom?..."

Laughter started to fill up the room, and Alastor fell on his knees. That definitely was his mom. Why was she laughing? He felt his eyes water p every so slightly. Tears? Why was he crying? He didn't know. 

???: Alastor.~"

A: "Leave me alone!"

Laughter filled p the room again. Alastor radio effect was completely off, and tears fell from his cheeks. This had just started, but he wanted it to end. was this a nightmare? Was this his imagination? Was this real? 

???: "Oh Alastor, you are still the same old mama's boy aren't you?~"

Alastor gripped on his hair, ears pinned down, trying to get back to reality, if there even was a reality. His shadow tried to calm him down as he had his little panic attack. Nifty was walking by and heard Alastor talking by himself. She went up to his room and quietly opened the door, Seeing Alastor on the floor. She worriedly ran up to him and tried catching his attention.

N: "Sir?..."

The shadow pointed at the radio which was playing some music. Nifty looked confused but quickly realized that the radio was what was triggering Alastor's panic attack. She took her needle and stabbed the radio, destroying it completely. Alastor stopped hearing his mother, and looked up to see Nifty next to his destroyed radio.

N: "Are yo okay sir?..."

There's was a moment of silence. Nifty went up to Alastor and hugged him. Alastor slowly hugged her back, his tears drying up.

A: "I'm alright now darling... don't worry too much."

He heard some faint snores, realizing Nifty fell asleep. He thought that maybe she might have been on her way to bed, but saw him on that state and decided to help him,. He picked p the small lady in his arms and carried her to her room. Once inside her room, she placed her on the bed, tucking her under the covers. He took her needle and placed it on her desk, proceeding to leave her room.

Before heading to his own room, he decided to check up on Lucifer, to see if he was actually resting and not on his work. He walked over to his room, opening the door. He saw the king sleeping in a cocoon made of blankets, the moonlight that enter the room through the window hitting his face. He had never seen the king so peaceful before, it was almost adorable. Alastor couldn't help but feel his chest all warm and fuzzy, his blood boiling up to his face, and his stomach doing "backflips". His smile became soft, as he left the kings room to head to his own.

He decided that it would be best if he called it a day rested too. So much stuff had only happened in one day, so many questions, and so little answers. Why did his mothers voice come out of the video? Was it a dream, was it real, or was it his imagination? Lastly, What were those warm feeling he had felt earlier? Those feelings were most certainly new to him, he had never felt those kind of feelings before. It somehow made him happy, but disgusted at the same time?... It was hard for him to tell.

He changed into his silk pajamas, got onto his bed and picked up his book. He look over at the radio which was destroyed by Nifty. He was glad that the voices had stopped, but also kind of disappointed. It took him an eternity to find that radio in Hell, he even had to leave the ring of pride to see if any other rings had that radio. Now seeing that it was destroyed, he would had to search for the same radio al over again, and since it was the 2020's, the radio would be even harder to find. For now, Alastor shrugged it off, continuing reading. A few minutes later, he put the book down and got ready to get his nights rest.

Lucifer found himself in his castle, sitting on his desk's chair, doing a ridiculous long worksheet. He was exhausted, it felt like it had been hours. He suddenly felt a light tug from his coat. He looked down and saw baby Charlie tugging on his white coat.

Baby Ch: "Up..."

Lucifer smiled lightly at his small daughter, as he picked her up on his arms, slightly rocking her back and forth. Baby Charlie them pointed at a golden box Lucifer had on his desk. Lucifer chuckled, as he pulled the box closer to both of them and opened it, Reveling a beautiful angel. The box was a music box. He winded the music box and a beautiful melody started playing, as he continued rocking Charlie back and forth. Charlie giggled a bit as she saw the small angel spin around, the melody still playing. Lucifer adored this moment with his daughter. He could barely spend time with her, so every time he could, he would make memorable memories with his daughter. He hummed along to the melody as he rocked Charlie in his arms.

A few minutes later, Charlie fell asleep in Lucifer's arms. Lucifer looked at his daughter lovingly, as he heard the door open. Soon after, Lilith came over to Lucifer, taking sleeping Charlie in her arms, leaving lucifer alone in his room. Lucifer's joy quickly changed into sadness as he continued his work. Minutes later, Lilith came in again.

Li: "Lucifer..."

L: "Lilith..."

Li: "Look, there is no other way to say this. I think we should get a divorce..."

These words pierced through Lucifer's heart sharper then any other pain. After Eons of being together and millions of sacrifices, this is how it's going to end?

L: "Please... tell me you're joking... Lilith please.."

...

Li: "Lu i am so sorry-"

L: "Save it. If you were sorry you would still love me and wouldn't have asked for a divorce. Let's just... get this over with."

Li: "...I'm sorry... but I'm also taking Charlie with me..."

Lucifer felt another sharp knife go through his heart. Why must this happen? He felt tears start to fall, staining his white shirt.

L: "Please... don't leave me alone..."

...

Li: "I'm sorry..."

L: "No... LILITH!!!"

He stood up, trying to run after Lilith, but the net thing he knows, he is on his bed, sitting up straight. Another nightmare. He felt tears on his cheeks as he took of the small towel off his forehead. He wiped away his tears, rubbing his eyes, calming down and regulating his breathing. This was not his night. He has had nightmares since 7 years ago, after his divorce with Lilith. He had gotten used to it, but this nightmare was different. It felt more real and was more painful, as he was reliving one of the most painful experience of his life. He got up and put on his silk robe and slippers and decided to go down to the kitchen and maybe eat something to calm down a bit.

He walked up to the elevator and went down to the lobby. He walked into the kitchen and searched inside the fridge. He saw some whisky, juice, water, some fruits, vegetables, eggs, milk, and some weird soup with shrimps. He took an apple and the bottle of whiskey and took a drink out of the bottle and bit the apple afterwards. He heard some steps and turn around the see a figure in the shadows.

"What are you doing up this late?"
