             – ♥ ANGEL DUST'S POINT OF VIEW ♥ –

I woke, and found myself in a room I didn't recognize. The floor was covered in a red and gold floral leaf pattern carpet. The walls were a dark red, and near the closet in the room was a slightly opened window with silk white curtains. A wooden entertainment center with a TV on top sat in front of me, and as I mentioned earlier, a closet was stocked in the corner of the room. A nightstand with a lamp sat on both sides of me, one with an alarm clock that wouldn't stop beeping. I sat on a black canopy bed in my pajamas. Where was I?

Suddenly, I heard footsteps in the hallway approaching my room. Voices echoed, and the dinging and beeping from machines below became more clear as I became more awake. I flinched as I heard the doorknob rattle. The door to the room I was in swung open, revealing a familiar demon. He was catlike, with big ears that had hearts inside them. He had a tail with a plume of red fur—or were they feathers?—extending at the end, sharp claws and teeth, a bit of chest fluff, and crimson red wings patterned with many shapes and lines. His nose was heart-shaped, which I found super cute. His eyes were black with a yellow iris, and he had split pupils like a cat. He wore a noir top hat with a scarlet hatband. He wore black suspenders and ebony overalls, accompanied by an elegant black-and-yellow-striped suit vest and yellow bow tie. Y'know, he don't look half bad... I shook my head.

I remembered the bet from last night. The bet between this demon—Husker, the Overlord of Greed—and my shitty boss, Valentino. My eyes widened as I remember Val trying to attack the cat demon, after he... He had lost. I no longer belonged to him, and now I belonged to the winner... Husker. I tried to stop the soft smile that played on my lips. I was in a bit of shock because of everything that had happened, but also slightly relieved. I didn't have to be with Valentino anymore. I exhaled deeply, staring at the demon who stood in the doorway. His eyes narrowed at me as a soft growling noise came from his throat. Cute.

"What the Hell, whorebug? I told you to wake up at five! It's nine thirty! Good God..." he yelled, panicking. I yawned, wiping my eyes, keeping the same expression on my face as he ran around my room. He ran towards the closet, and pulled out some clothes—my clothes, that apparently had already been there. He placed them onto my bed in a hurry and stomped towards the door. What was he so pissy about? I woke up late? So what? I rolled my eyes as he sighed, glaring at me. "Put your shit on and meet me near the bar on the first level. You'll find it. And hurry the Hell—"

He was cut off by a ringing noise comping from the pocket of his suit vest. He grumbled in a language I didn't understand—Spanish maybe?—and pulled out his phone form his pocket. He groaned as the phone kept ringing rapidly. I tilted my head slightly. I started to speak, but he cut me off with a, "Shit!" He stormed out the door, and I could hear him yelling angrily in another language through the echoing hallway.

I liked that guy already.

I walked down the clear steps and to the lower level after I had changed, where it was crowded with day drinkers and gamblers. I scanned the area for a bar, but because of all of the other demons, it was difficult as shit to find. I walked around cluelessly, hoping that I would just stumble across the Overlord. I approached an area filled with the smell of grease and the sound of dropping poker chips, when I felt a hand grab onto my shoulder. I flinched and turned to see who it was. I looked down, and found Husk, still looking pissed. He smelled strongly of alcohol, I noticed. I smirked at him, and tried to seem flirty like I always did with Val, but he just scoffed and kept his hand on my shoulder as he steered me around the casino, yapping about something.

I cut him off his little rant. "So, what do I need to do here anyways, huh, baby?"

He stared up at me, annoyed after I had interrupted him. A scowl appeared on his face. "Do not call me baby." He turned his head away. "All you need to do is just walk around the casino, and welcome and help the customers. But, y'know... You need to... uh... flaunt your stuff..." He shifted his body, his annoyed expression not changing. I smirked at him, putting my second pair of arms on my hips. "Just look sexy and make the customers want to spend more and stay longer, got it? It should be simple." I nodded, and waited for him to speak again, for another request, but he didn't say anything. I tilted my head, smiling.

"That's all?" I asked. Husker nodded. "Oh, that's easy! I'm irresistible, babe, and I sure know how to flaunt it!" I grinned, posing. The Overlord rolled his eyes. He muttered something under his breath that I didn't hear. I raised an eyebrow at him as he shook his head, grumbling. The fuck was wrong with this guy? He removed his hand from my shoulder and stepped away from me and towards the bar.

"I'll show you around tomorrow," he said, his voice deeper and more angry now. "My fuckin' bartender quit, so if ya need me, I'll be here. All fuckin' day... Maldita sea... Odio este trabajo..." He growled softly, walking towards the crowded bar as demons yelled and flirted with each other. I stared at him for a moment, not knowing what to do. I walked away from the bar, but I could still hear Husk yelling at the customers. I walked towards the poker table, watching the game that went on. I was cheering, feeling like just another demon having fun at the casino, when I felt a hand on my shoulder. My eyes went wide and I swallowed.

"Angel, baby..." Valentino spoke quietly into my ear, making me shudder. "I came back for you."
