Love Me Not (Alastor x OC)

Ch 7

Alastor

My shadows returned quicker than I thought they would, and gave me a confusing report.

"Nothing? He has no defenses set up?"

My main shadow shrugged and the rest exchanged glances.

My brow furrowed and I tapped my foot as I thought about what he could be planning...

He took Fawn... he's obviously waiting for me to come retrieve her... I can't be reckless about this...

But I also can't be hesitant.

There's no telling what he wants with her, and I've already wasted too much time.

My stomach twisted at the thought that I'm already too late, standing here contemplating my own safety over hers.

I dismissed my shadows and summoned my microphone before teleporting myself to the Red Light District.

Immediately my ears flattened slightly as the noise bombarded me from all directions, but I had my sights set on a specific place and I wasn't going to let bright lights and distasteful music stop me.

Thankfully, V Tower was in the middle of the Red Light District and easy enough to find.

Walking up to the front doors of the obnoxious building, my stride didn't stutter as black tendrils shot from the ground and slammed the doors open, allowing me inside.

Immediately I started to completely destroy the lower sector of the tower, Velvette's studio.

Models started screaming and running, but they were quickly crushed and smeared across the floor by the tendrils flailing around me.

I don't care who was or wasn't involved. They will all know what happens when you mess with the only thing in this hell that I love.

Velvette was nowhere to be seen.

Typical. The V's are cowards, and they're all talk.

Next was the porn studio.

I enlarged myself and tore the wretched place apart, tile by tile and rafter by rafter.

Briefly I made sure that Angel Dust wasn't anywhere to be seen. If I hurt him on accident, I'd never hear the end of it.

Again, Valentino was nowhere to be found.

And finally... my claws anchored against the floor as I pulled myself up to the last level, breaking through the floor and causing live wires to flail around.

Sparks flew and sizzles as the wires whipped around angrily.

"VOX!"

My voice boomed through the large room, and it was eerily quiet...

For a second I was worried I'd been duped... that none of them were here at all.

Then, there was the brief buzz of white noise before laughter filled the room, and several television screens lit up as Vox's face filled them one by one.

All around me was his laughter until the images came together into one large portrait, painted across every monitor of him staring down at me with a large smile.

"Alastor, so lovely to see you, my friend."

I glared up at him.

"Normally I'd be delighted to play with you, but unfortunately I'm not in the mood at the moment. You know why I'm here. Give her to me unharmed and maybe I'll leave your precious tower standing."
