"Am I really ready?" I was nervous, Hella nervous.

"You've been preparing for this day a long time now," he brushed my hair that was tied up in a ponytail

I got this, "does my outfit look good?" I smiled at him

"What if I am not strong enough yet?" I bit my lip before fixing my lipstick

"Draling, you'll wow them!" He grabbed my shoulder before planting a kiss on my forehead

"Make me proud~" he wisperd before my surroundings changed, and I ended up in front of the casion

The plan was for me to play my way up, deal with sounds, and gamble with life itself.

I took a breath before walking into the casion. It was filled with all kinds of sinners from tall scary shark demons all the way to small fry like rabbit demons.

'I just have to believe in the heart of the cards.' With confidence, I made my way towards the poker table and took a seat

"You interested in joining?" I glanced up at the shark demon, giving me a grin 'loansharks..what a fitting form'

"I am,' I didn't spare him any more of my time before looking at the other people at this table

'I need to start small so low sinner and small gangs will have to do'

If I had known gambling was so much fun, I would have done it way earlier. I walked in with doubt, but I'm having the time of my life.

"Royal flush, pay up bitch!" He gritted his teeth thinking he finally got me but i just smirked while exposing my hand
"Royal flush spade~"

That's when all hell broke lose,
"First you take all my money and then you take my men! What else do you want bitch"

He growled while his form started to morth "attack me and you'll regret the day you laid eyes on me" I hissed before collecting and mixing the cards

"One last game, I'm betting everything you've lost tonight and more~" I smirked while distributing the cards.

"I have nothing left to bet!"He growled before sitting back down and lighting another ciggare

"Ah- ah- you still have something I want." I smirk before chuckling."Your soul~"

He looked hesitant, I took everything his men his money, probably his honour too.

He could get it all back if he wins this one,

'I'll punish him for being greedy.'

"Deal!"

Poor soul, you poor poor soul.

The lights over our table flicker as a red light shined down on us

"Make this one count, OK?" I teased him before taking a swing of my Wiskey.

"With that smile, it must have been a great debute." Alastor opened the front door and put his hand on my lower back.

"I wouldn't call it a debute but a great start," I giggled before taking off my pumps

"Ugh, my feet are killing me..." I sighed."I got us a few loansharks for whatever we would need them,"

"I'm sure we can find some use for them." he sat me down on bed and rested his head on my lap.

Alastor always shows his affection through words and actions rather than physical actions, I cherish moments like these the most.
