I sat opposite my desk, on the end of my bed and waited. In a poof of ruby red smoke, the now so familiar 7ft tall deer demon stood before me. He turned around, his smile looking sincere for once.
"Hello again, Y/N!"
"Alastor...uh hi" I looked up at his intimidating height, remembering what we did two nights ago. A light blush glazed my cheeks as he took a step closer to me.
"So, why'd you summon me this time? You're not horny again are you?"
My eyes bounced wide in shock and I put my head down into the palms of my hands, face heating up as he laughed loudly.
"I'm only teasing you, my dear..." He let me gather my thoughts for a minute as I took a deep breath in and out.
"Alastor?" I looked him in the eyes, so many questions running round in my brain.
"Mmm?" He hummed.
"Do you.. know anything about what's happening? Surely you've heard... about the demons who've been appearing. Just yesterday television demon Vox made a new channel to report any 'lost' demons to.
I watched as Alastor stiffened, his eyes wide and ears upright. "Listen Y/N. Whatever you do, don't report me." He stared menacingly at my smaller figure. Though it was just his alarmed glare, it felt as if a thousand knives charged at me.
"No.. I.. wasn't planning to.. I just want to know if you know anything about like how they got here and stuff, since you are here and you've gone back."
"Oh!" Though his glare softened, his body did not.
"I'm sorry, for I do not know. I thought only the most powerful demons could.. the overlords, I mean. This is not only news to up here but to all of hell too.
Overlords like me can rarely be summoned, if done correctly." He looked back at my shrine. "Which you didn't do..." He turned back around to me. "When an overlord is summoned correctly, there is a rare chance of a portal opening by them. They can choose whether they want to go in or not. If they ignore it, the human who summoned them dies."
"How did my shrine work then? It's just some cheap candles and crappy drawings."
"My dear they are not crappy! You are a good artist, I must say. Though I am not sure how it worked either..."
"Oh... it's fine. I'm sure everything will be known at the right time, if that makes sense." I said, slightly disappointed that he didn't know anything.
"Sorry to disappoint you. I'll make sure to let you know if I find anything or have any suspicions."
"Thank you!" I smiled at him.

So... she believes in fate, I guess. Alastor thought to himself as he broadcasted to hell the screams of his victims. He sat back in his chair, a relaxed smile plastered his face.
What am I doing? Why'd I say I'd tell her if I find anything out... fucking hell what's wrong with me. She's just a measly human I should probably just kill.
Alastor thought for a while about what would happen if he killed you, he thought about not seeing you ever again.
If she died... she would go to heaven
His smile shortened only a little.
Them stupid angels! They'd never fucking care for her properly...
He let out a low growl between his clamped yellow teeth and smiled wider, about to talk into the microphone for people who tuned into his broadcast.

"Vaggie?" Charlie walked up to her girlfriend, who was sitting on their double bed and listening to some music over the radio. She turned down the volume and then looked around at Charlie walking towards her, wide eyes filled with concern.
Vaggie got up and went to give her a hug, noticing how Charlie was feeling anxious about something.
"What's wrong?" Vaggie asked in a soft voice.
"Um.. Have you seen angel dust? He keeps going missing and I'm worried about him, Vaggie. I looked into the studio but all I could see was Valentino throwing a tantrum!" Charlie's eyes began to water a little as she hugged her girlfriend back.
"Do you not know?" Vaggie asked, confused.
Charlie looked up at her and sniffed, "No? What is it?"
Vaggie sighed, "Lots of demons have been.. going missing and reappearing recently. How do you not know? It's what everyone is talking about..."
"Huh?"
"Nobody knows how or why but normal demons have been going back up to earth randomly... then coming back down again. Not even the demons who it has happened to know how! One minute they are here, the next they're not... It's been happening to Angel Dust frequently."
"I thought only overlords could be summoned..."
"Me too. Everyone thought it too." Vaggie hugged her tighter. "Don't worry, Charlie. He'll come back soon. Maybe we could ask him some questions when he gets back?"
Charlie's eyes lit up, curious to know what has been happening while Angel Dust has been amongst humans. She hoped he hadn't been getting himself into too much trouble, hopefully he isn't selling them any drugs or anything...

Angle Dust strolled through the front door of the hotel with a wide grin and a hand on his hip. He grabbed an ice lolly before lying down on the chaise lounge to eat it.
"Angel!!" Charlie exclaimed as she ran up to Angel Dust, earning a side glance from him. "So.. how was it?" She asked, trying to suppress her excitement.
"How was what?"
"How was it being back on the earth?"
"Oh!" His smile widened. "It was spectacular!"
Charlie's eyes glistened as she listened to Angel Dust describing the streets and she listened carefully as he explained the part he got on the news.
"Where did you go when you were there?"
"A strip club of course!" He exclaimed, getting up to throw away the ice lolly stick.
"Huh??"
"You don't know how many people were asking for a lap dance" he thought to himself, "Damn... now that I think about it, everyone seemed either really depressed or really creepy! No drugs either..."
