A Chef and Radio Demon (Hazbin Hotel fanfiction Alastor x OC)

Chapter 9: Learning The Truth and Removing Bad Memories

Later that evening

Third's P.O.V:

Ian was finishing up the last of the damage made by the Loan Sharks. He sighed before wiping the sweat off his forehead and started to put the cleaning supplies away, but Niffy beat him to it. "I got it! You help way too much! Even Alastor thinks that!" Ian rolled his eyes and looked at Niffy before patting her head and going up the stairs. He barely made it five steps when he felt his back burning up, and he growled in pain, thinking, Why is my back hurting? He shook his head and kept walking the steps to his room, but his back kept burning to the point that he had to lean against the wall to keep moving.

He finally reached the top of the stairs and kept walking, his vision blurry before he barely heard someone calling his name, and he nearly passed out from the pain. "Ian!" Charlie yelled out, running towards him and trying to help him stand before she saw his back glow. She was about to touch it, but she felt someone grab her wrist and see it was Amber. "Amber, It's Ian. I don't know what's going on and-"

"It's okay. Let's get him into his room. Open his door."

"R-right!" Charlie said, removing a master key from her pocket and opening his room door while Amber carried Ian. It wasn't her first time carrying someone twice her size. She had to do it when she was alive, dealing with Alastor when he was passed out from killing too much. She heard Ian mumble something, but it was clear that he was in too much pain to speak clearly. Charlie finally opens the door, and Amber quickly moves past Charlie before putting Ian on his stomach. She then started to remove his shirt. Ian felt her doing this, and he felt panic mixed with pain, thinking No, no, no, please, no! He didn't want anyone to see his scar, including Amber. He barely let Amber treat his scar the first time, much less touch it. He tried to move away, but he was in too much pain to the point that he felt tears streaming down his face.

"By the stars...what the fuck....happened to you?" Amber whispered, looking at the scar, a pentagram, and a cross in the middle of his upper back. It looked like it was burned into him at a young age, making Amber sick to her stomach. She shook her hand and tried to use her powers that made the room glow in darkness and light, to ease Ian's pain before Charlie looked over and covered her mouth in shock, whispering, "What...what is-"

"Not now, Charlie. I need to call your Father."

"My dad? But what could-"

"Charlotte! Call him and tell him to come back! I can't heal his scar by myself! Now!" Amber yelled at Charlie, making Charlie jump at Amber's voice before Charlie got her phone out of her pocket and started calling Lucifer. Amber kept using her powers and saw Ian crying before she whispered, "Shh..shh, it's okay, Little Solider. I know it hurts. I'm trying to make it not hurt as much. Take some deep breaths for me." Ian was crying silently and whimpering in pain before he whispered with his eyes closed, "It...It hurts...It hurts so much...mom...mom."

Amber looked at Ian in surprise but smiled softly and kept using her powers before she started to sing a song that her son used to sing to her, in a voice that sounded like a mother soothing her child, "Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around. Nothing's gonna harm you, no sir. Not while I'm around. Demons are prowling everywhere nowadays. I'll send them howling. I don't care; I have ways. No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna dare. Others can desert you; not to worry. Whistle and I'll be there. Demons'll charm you with a smile for a while But in time. Nothing can harm you, Not while I'm around."

Ian was crying still and was trying to tell her not to bother with him, but she kept using her powers to ease his pain and keep singing, "Not to worry. Not to worry. I may not be strong, but I'm not weak. I can do it, Put me to it. Show me something I can overcome. Not to worry, son. Being close and being clever, Ain't like being true. I don't need to; I would never Hide a thing from you, like some. Nothing's gonna harm you, Not while I'm around. Nothing's gonna harm you, Ian. Not while I'm around. Demons'll charm you with a smile For a while. But in time... Nothing's gonna harm you While I'm around." She saw Ian finally pass out and sigh before her ram ears twitched, and she saw Lucifer at the doorway. She looked relieved and said, "I need you to look at this. My powers are barely working on him."
