Home Sweet Home (Alastor X OC love story)

Chapter 8 A Favor

Faith.

***Faith's POV***

After returning home from the unfortunate hunting incident, we brought the deer I got inside. Alastor helped skin and harvest the deer. Before everything was put away Alastor asked if he could have the organs.

"Why do you want the organs?" I ask out of pure curiosity.

Honestly, I wasn't going to keep them as I don't really like the taste of any of them. So, if he really wants them, he can have them.

He explains how he used to fry up deer organs all the time when he was alive. That he hunted often when he was alive. Especially during the great depression, when food and money were tight.

"There are deer down in Hell and while they taste fine, they just don't taste as good as deer on Earth."

"I don't mind if you want them. I don't like the taste of the organs. So, you can have them if you want."

With that a snap of his fingers I am assuming he teleported the organs back to hell. Don't know what other reason he would snap his fingers like that for. His smile did seem more genuine and happy. I'm glad. We may have our differences, but that doesn't mean I have to want him to be unhappy or miserable.

I have always liked making people happy. Alastor may not be alive anymore, but he still has feelings. Whether he acknowledges all of them or not is up to him though. I am glad that his smiles seem more genuine lately. They used to seem so forced when he first started to hang out around me.

Breaking me out of my thoughts, Alastor offered to teach me some recipes he used to make back when he was alive. The ones without deer organs of course. I smiled as I accepted his offer. It was getting late. So, he would teach me another day.

I was sitting on my ready to go to sleep when my ankle suddenly felt itchy. After scratching it my mind began thinking. A lone wolf would never have attacked two hunters in right mind. Especially if one was a demon.

I didn't get a very good look at it, but with the unusual aggression could it have been rabid? If so does that mean I have it now? I mean Alastor healed it. I hope that means he healed the virus as well.

I laid down to sleep with my mind still lingering on those thoughts until I fell asleep.

The next morning, I expected to wake up in my bed, but I woke up in the bed in Alastor's room. I jolted up when I realized where I was. I didn't see Alastor anywhere though.

My confusion didn't last long as I found a note on the nightstand near me. It was from Alastor. It said that he was called to Hell for business in the middle of the night and he moved me into his bedroom simply because he thought I would be more comfortable in here.

He didn't know exactly how long he was going to be away for. It could be only a few hours to a few days. Regardless of how long he was gone, Shadow would be here looking after me.

Not more than a few seconds after I set the note back down and stretch am I hug tackle back onto the bed. I'm startled at the sudden hug tackle. But the shock doesn't last long as I quickly realize who is hugging me. It's Shadow. I let a small giggle slip as I free an arm and pat his head.

"Hey Bud. You missed me that much?" I say as I can hear him start purring like a cat.

Of course, I never got a verbal response. He did give a slight nod instead. It has been a while since I had seen him.

After a few moments he lets go and leaves long enough for me to get dressed and ready for the day. After getting ready my phone starts ringing. I look at the screen to see Ted was calling. I answered the phone.
