Strawberry Pimp ~ Alastor

Chapter 8

It was the next day after Vaggie and Charlie came back from Heaven. Everyone was on the couch, listening to her explain the situation. I had a glare on my face as she talks. Alastor had his legs across my lap and I was running my hand up and down his shin. Vaggie finished and everyone was silent for a moment.

"So, like where are your wings," Niffty asks, breaking the silence. I can't help the smile that creeps up on my face.

"Niffty, I don't have-," Vaggie starts but gets cut off by Angel.

"Did you ever think maybe she's sensitive about her lack of wings, just like her lack of tits," Angel asks and I smirk in amusement.

"Yeah. Where are your tits," Niffty asks, pulling away Vaggies shirt collar to look inside. Vaggie sighs and pushes her away.

"Any other questions," she asks.

" I got one. How come every time Charlie talks to Heaven we get in deeper and deeper shit," Husk asks and I sigh.

" It's not her fault. Angels are just-," Vaggie starts but once again gets cut off by Angel.

"Liars," he asks sarcastically and I laugh at the not so subtle dig.

"...Difficult. But Charlie's trying her best," Vaggie defends and I look down with a blank look. Alastor grabs my hand and I smile at him.

"Yeah, well, her best is turning out real well so far," Husk says sarcastically and I glare at him.

"And where is miss fearless leader anyway? Isn't it about time for another "doomed-to-fail" plan," Angel asks and I glare at him next.

"She's upstairs. Coming up with something, I'm sure, in our room. Alone," Vaggie says sadly and Alastor hums. He gives me a sideways look and I nod, knowing his plan already. He told me last night. He wants to help Charlie but he wants to get something out of it too. So he's going to make a deal with her. He gives her the information we know about the angels and she owes him a favor.

"Angel. Husk. Not too much on Charlie. It's not her fault that Angels suck," I say with a glare at Vaggie. She looks down in embarrassment. Angel nods and Husk shrugs. After a bit of awkward silence the room starts to glow green and voodoo symbols glow on the celling. I smirk as Vaggie runs up to Charlies room. I follow her calmly upstairs. She kicks the door open and rushes at Alastor with her spear but Charlie stands in between them.

" Vaggie, Stop," CHarlie shouts and Alastor makes his way over to me.

"No, Charlie, please tell me you didn't-," she begs but Charlie cuts her off.

"I made a deal with Alastor," Charlie says with a hard look and I give her a proud smile.

"Charlie," Vaggie begs again and I rolled my eyes.

" Oh, calm down. She still owns her soul," Alastor says and I pet his ears, making him purr.

"He gave me info that can save the hotel, but we're going to need help. The angels can be defeated, and  is the key," Charlie says in a determined voice.

"What? Carmilla Carmine," Vaggie asks and I roll my eyes again.

"She killed an exorcist in the last extermination. She knows how they can be harmed," Charlie says and I nod in encouragement.

"But... I-- I didn't even know that was possible." Vaggie says with confusion in her tone.

"If you did, would you have told me," Charlie says bitterly and I raise an eyebrow.

"Charlie, I-," Vaggie starts but gets cut off again.

"I need you to go to her, convince her to teach us. If she can, we might have a chance," Charlie says but Vaggie has a skeptical look on her face.
