A New Side of You (RadioApple)

Chapter 21

(TW TW))

Alastor is running as fast as he can. His vision is blurry and his legs want to give out, they are burning badly his chest hurts and his throat does too but he keeps running. He grabs the door knock and tries to turn it but its lock, he crawls through the doggy door then runs into the living room.

Blood is splattered on his face. His pupils go small as he watches his father cut off his mother's legs. He watches as the saw cuts through her bone. "Mama... MAMA!!" He runs towards his father is a fit or rage. Right before he can get close enough a bright light shines and he's back at the gates of heaven. "Oh Alastor! It's okay, I'm okay! Don't watch Alastor, come here sweet boy. I'm safe and you are too."

He runs to her. "Mother! You're okay!" "Yes son I'm okay!" He hugs her tight "I had this horrible day dream... I don't know what happened.." he looks at her. There is a hole where her face is. "Have you already forgot what I look like?? How have you already forgotten??? How could you forget me! You promised you wouldn't! How could you! What kind of son are you!! Useless useless USELESS!!"

Alastor sits up screaming. He grips his chest panting. "Baby??!" Lucifer sits up. "These nightmares are getting worse and worse every night.."  Alastor grips the sides of his head his eyes closes tight. "Baby baby hey" Lucifer gently looses his grip on his hair. "It's okay" Alastor looks at him. "Come here" Alastor hugs him tight crying. "Oh sweet boy..." Alastor calms down. "Come on" Lucifer picks him up then walks downstairs to the kitchen. "Let's get you a drink yeah?" Alastor hides his face into his neck.

Lucifer walks into the kitchen. "Let's see do you want water or something with flavor?" "Bleach.." "you can't drink bleach" "fine... water.." "that's better." Lucifer gets him some water. Alastor is wrapped around him so Lucifer doesn't have to hold him.

Alastor falls back asleep, he snores softly. Lucifer smiles. Angel walks in "mmmm so bright..." "oh hey Angel" "thirsty.." Lucifer holds out the glass of water he was going to give Alastor. "Thanks, nightmare?" "Nightmare... they are getting worse... he's screaming when they scare him awake... it's the same thing every time... something with his mom..."

Lucifer pets him "I don't now what to do.. he wants to be around me all the time so I have no time to figure out how I can help him..." "give him to me, he can sleep with me and Husky to night then we can watch him while you figure something out." "You want to babysit Alastor?" "I mean I guess that's what it is yeah."

Lucifer chuckles "he's a full grown man man Angel and not only that but how will husker feel when you come back holding Alastor?" Angel shrugs. "It's the only idea I got, we babysit him keep him busy make sure he doesn't realize you are gone and you figure out what the fuck to do to help him. We need him on full alert he's the only one that knows how to do 90% of the shit he's does for this hotel."

Lucifer is holding Alastor tightly. "You really think you can keep him busy enough he doesn't realize where I am?" "we can try or worse case actually turn him into a child! You're a god or something right? Can't you do that??" "I mean.. yeah I can but I don't know if I should turn him into a kid Angel."

Angels fills his cup. "It's the best idea I got pluuuuus it could uh maybe be practice for me." "Practice?" "Husk had a kid when he was alive and uh I want one one day.." Angel blushes embarrassed. Lucifer chuckles "okay okay fine" Lucifer takes a deep breath blows on Alastor. There is a puff of red and then it vanished Alastor is little kid around 5.

Angel gasps "he's so cuuuuuuute" "shhhhh" Lucifer hands Alastor to Angel. "Okay okay, bye" Angel carries Alastor back to his and Husk's room. He sets the glass on the table then sits on the bed. Husk rolls over yawning. "Mmm hello~" "hi, here take this" Angel hands Husk Alastor. Husk still half holds Alastor close and gently pats his back. Angel takes pictures. Alastor is asleep laying on his stomach his hands under his face.
