Imprisoned Pair | A Huskerdust Fanfiction

Chapter 5: Threats

     Husk landed back at the hotel as he entered through the door. "Husker, my friend!"

     Husk sighs as he realized who it was. "What do ya want, Alastor?" Husk grumbles as he starts to wipe down the counter of the bar.

     "I have a lil task for you! Nothing much really."

     Husk crosses his arms as he turns around. "What do you mean by that?" He asks, raising an eyebrow. "Because if it's about you wanting me to get your laundry again-"

     "Of course not, my friend!" Alastor says, smiling unsettlingly wide. "Lilith is coming back."

Husk felt a shiver run down his spine. "Oh shit," he mumbles, looking at Alastor to see if this was some sick joke, but Alastor's eyes were firm dead. Alastor's master? Coming back? "We've gotta warn-"

"I'm afraid that won't be necessary."

Husk grew with confusion. "What do ya mean?! Lilith is dangerous, and if she's here it must be for the hotel!"

"I will handle this situation," Alastor says, patting Husk on the head as he slaps his hand away. "She's here for the purposes relating to the hotel and me."

"You're putting all of us in danger," Husk growls. "You thought you could handle Adam too, and should I remind you what happened?"

The lighting went dark almost instantly as Alastor turned his head to meet Husk. His eyes were glowing red as he stepped closer to Husk, the chain forming around his neck. Alastor tugged it harshly as Husk fell to the ground, his heart racing. Oh shit.

"Want to fucking say that again?" Alastor asks, in a tone so horrifying it pierced into Husk's skull, his head ringing.

"I-I-I'm sorry," Husk tries. "I just- it's not wise- everyone here could get hurt- I-"

"I'm sorry, Husk, can you remind me which one of us is tied to the chain, and which one of us is holding it? Hm?"

Husk hesitates as he gulps, sweat dripping down his face. "A-Alastor," he tries, as the chain started squeezing deeper and deeper into his throat.

Alastor leans down to his knees, making eye contact with Husk. A smile plastered on his face. "Husk, I wish you made this easier." Alastor and Husk locked eyes as Husk was shaking, for fear any second now Alastor would rip him apart. "Listen carefully," he says. "I'm going to handle the Lilith situation. And all you have to do is attend to my overlord duties hm? And no matter what, don't let anyone find out."

     Husk scowls as he was getting the life choked out of him. "Or what?" Husk scoffs, trying to sound tough. "Ya think I'm scared of ya ripping my soul apart?" Husk looks down at the floor, trying not to cry. "It's not like it was doing much good anyway."

     Alastor smiled, maliciously. "Perhaps not. But what if I tear that spider friend of yours apart, hm?"

     "WHAT THE FUCK, ALASTOR!" Husk snaps, as the chain pulls even tighter, blood spilling out his neck and him falling barely conscious.

     "Ah, bingo." Alastor grabbed husky by the throat. "Now, are we going to do this the easy way? Or do I have to rip apart that porn star until you've learned your lesson?"

     "Keep Angel out of this..." Husk pleads with every strength he had left. "This is my mistake to fix, he didn't do nothin."

     "So is it a deal then?" 

     Husk hesitates, but nods.

     "Good."

     And with that, Alastor and the chain vanished. Husk collapsed, desperately catching his breath.
