~ Some time earlier ~
• Alastor POV °
When I decided to go for a walk in the forest, I didn't expect such a turn of events. Who would have expected that I would be able to meet the Hidden Overlord in the forest where I often go hunting.
At first I thought that some demon or fallen angel was not far away. I didn't expect that she had such a beautiful voice, which I easily mistook for an angelic one.
I stood a good distance away from her and watched her. I knew her companion might not be far away and I didn't want to defend myself against him.
I don't know exactly how strong they both are, but if Charlie says they're powerful, I take her word for it.
I got lost in her singing and quickly woke up when I hearing threatening growl
" How can I help you, Radio Demon? Do you have a habit of observing women from afar? " she asked
" Forgive me my dear " I said with smile
" But you are a woman hard to be found and I don't want to scare you off before I can talk. I must say that you have a beautiful voice " I continued
" Compliments won't take you anywhere with me, but thank you. I thought it was obvious that I didn't want to be found. I know Charlie told you that she didn't want any trouble and wanted to be left alone " she replied turning to face me
" She said that, but that doesn't change the fact that we're curious about you. You arrived to hell years ago and " I started
" If I hadn't helped the princess that day you still wouldn't know about me. You don't want to make an enemy out of me Radio Demon " she said interrupting me
" Charlie comes to me because I gives her good advice. Sometimes it's better to talk to someone who barely knows you and they has a fresh perspective on things. I don't want anything from her, so you have to worry that I have something hidden agenda " she continued
" Lucifer wants to talk to you " I said seriously
" It concerns Charlie and your status here. You can't say no " I said when I saw she wanted to protest. She shook her head and laughed softly
" Tell him I'll see him tomorrow. Charlie will bring him to my house because I don't trust this news not to get out. I have no intention of attending a meeting of a group of nosy people " she said before Kai jumped on her shoulder
" Tomorrow at noon " she added before the shadows drew them in giving me no time to answer.
This took me by surprise and I stood speechless for a moment. She has nerves and is brave to talk to me like that.
I know she's not afraid of me or Luci. I could sense that she was unsure of me and was ready to defend herself and her pet.
I couldn't feel all of her strength. You can see that she has very good control over her powers.
From what I've learned about her, Scarlett doesn't need them to deal with her adversary.
I managed to discover that Carmilla is training with her but it's more like skill maintenance.
I managed to sneak into their training once and the two of them fought seriously. Neither of them hesitated to attack each other.
However, I had to quickly get out of there when the sword hit the wall close to my hiding place. Scarlett must have sensed my presence and I knew I wouldn't take them together at once.
I shook my head clear of my thoughts before sighing. I should go back to the hotel and tell Lucifer about meeting her tomorrow.
It didn't take me long to get back to the hotel. Luckily for me, everyone was at the bar talking
" Ah Al, how was your walk? " Lucifer said when he saw me
" Very good, you won't believe me who I bumped into " I replied
" Who " ask the annoying spider
" Hidden Overlord " I said with a smirk
" Alastor tell me you didn't provoke her. I told you many times to leave her alone " Charlie said
" Charlie is right, Scarlett wants to be left alone and not harassed for no reason " said Vaggie
" I didn't meet her on purpose my dear" I said
'' While I was walking I heard a beautiful voice and I decided to follow it. I didn't know it would lead me to her " I said
" But I managed to arrange a meeting with her for tomorrow " I added
" How? " Charlie asked unsurely
" I told her that Lucifer wanted to talk to her about your relationship with her and her status here " I replied
" And she simply agreed? " Husk asked
" I told her she couldn't say no " I replied
" She could have said no but I suspect she wants to get it over with. She knows you won't give up that easily. She could have teleported right away or disappeared into the shadows the moment she spotted you " Charlie said
" When is the meeting? " asked Lucifer.
" Tomorrow at noon, Charlie is supposed to take us to her house. Apparently she doesn't trust that the news about the meeting won't get out " I replied
" She's right " Vaggie added
" Everyone stay calm. Tomorrow me, Alastor, Charlie and Vaggie will go to Scarlett's house. The rest of you should keep quiet about this meeting " Lucifer said seriously
" We shouldn't eat much before we go. Knowing Scar, she'll make something to eat " Charlie said
" I need to find out why her food is so good " she added under her breath
" Scar sure has a talent for cooking " Vaggie added, nodding.
" What should we know exactly before meeting her tomorrow? " Lucifer asked.
" Don't show any uncertainty or aggression towards her. One wrong move and you'll have Kai on top of you in no time " Charlie said
" Show respect to her and for her to do the same " Vaggie continued
" Stay calm, Scar will tell you what you want if you give her time " added Charlie
" Don't interrupt her when she's talking " said Vaggie
" If you want to know everything, she will offer you the same deal as us. Scarlett is the person you want as an ally, not an enemy " Charlie continued
" It's simple to understand " I said
" Stay calm, be respectful and patient " Lucifer said
" I'm curious how it goes. How much of impact will have that meeting on our lives " I thought before sitting down next to Luci
While I listened to Charlie talk about ideas on how to help Mika, Mina i Layla.
But I don't know why I want to be close to Scarlett.
I love Lucifer and he is my mate, but something about her intrigues me. I don't know why I think about how she would feel being between us.
Nights when we all together ... I shook my head, clearing myself of these thoughts.
I don't know her and that's what I think, but I can't help it. I sighed softly so no one would hear me before turning my attention back to Charlie. Tomorrow will be an interesting day
