Hotel's Human Helping Hand (Various x OC)

《 Sneak Peek S2: Confrontation 》

Damari marched up to Vox's office holding her angelic sword and found him sitting in his chair.

Man of the tower, sorry that I ask this
But I hope that I've been misinformed
I sent out my friends to take a look around through here
And they wound up at your doors
Through the years, we seldom get a warm welcome
So I must ask just to be sure
Did you do something to them?

Vox grinned and leaned his cheek against his fist.

Who, me?
All I did was helping them with their safety

Damari deadpanned at his answer and pointed it out.

You turned them into mindless zombies
Huh

Vox scoffed and got up from his chair and his expression turned serious.

I don't know what you doing, nor why you're here
But let me make this one thing clear
I've got people to control
Powers I can't neglect
So I'm not taking chances, dear

With his glowing hands, he summoned wires from the room.

If you make one wrong move, then you're done for
Anything I don't approve, then you're done for
I could put a spell on you, and you're done for
Girl, you better run, or soon you will be done for

Damari glared and pointed her sword at him.

I don't mean to tip your scale but
You will fail at placing any spells on me
I just ate a flower, one that claims your power
So you better cower now and flee

Vox frowned upon hearing that and thought that she's bluffing.

You must be a liar
Humans can't acquire
Moly without dire consequence
Then I must be an angel like them
'Cause I got this root from the ground with my bare hands

Vox deadpanned, knowing who exactly gave it to her to which made Damari smile sheepishly.

Alastor gave it to you, didn't he?
Okay, fine, yes, but regardless

With her different glowing colored eyes, Damari transforms into a Nephalem. Glaring, Vox backed away along with Damari as they readied their fighting stance.

You and I are now evenly matched
Our fates are intertwined, they're attached
I've got people to protect
Friends I can't neglect
So now, there is no turning back

Both of them brought out their attack as wires and a sword clash into battle. Damari attempts to kick Vox, who dodges to the side and tries to electric shock her. Damari dodges that too.

You've made your one wrong move, now you're done for
I will be the one to prove that you're done for
Not even a spell saves you, 'cause you're done for
Oh, you better run, or soon you will be done for

With her powerful swing, she cuts out all the wires in a single blow, leaving him nothing to summon. Damari gets behind Vox and places her sword against his neck, grabbing his wrist to prevent him from doing any funny trick.

You've lost
Sinners are like my pawns
I protect them at all costs
The last time we let strangers live
We faced a heavy loss
You've given me no reason to bestow you with my trust
But everyone's true colors are revealed in acts of lust

Hearing that made Damari both confused and disgusted.

I'm not sure I follow

Vox smirked and moved the angelic blade of her sword aside with his finger before turning to her.

There are other ways of persuasion
There are other modes of control
There are other means of deceit

Damari was about to put her blade back at his neck when he grabbed her arm rather gently. He removed his suit jacket to reveal him wearing a waistcoat with his sleeves rolled up. Damari started backing away as Vox approached her. Her back was touched against the wall as he got close to her and stroked her face. He then snapped his fingers and the room got dark and then lights from the ceiling turned on that look like stars. Damari looked around in confusion and Vox moved away from her.

There are other roads to the soul
There are other options of passion
You have so much left to learn
Want to save your friends from the fire?
Show me that you're willing to burn, woah

Vox walked around her and got behind her, grasping her neck to gaze upon her eyes with a hint of seduction and desire. Damari immediately got out of his grasp, glaring at him. Vox smirked and walked around her through the shadow.

Oh, well, who's to say, with all the mistakes I've made
(Don't be afraid)
That they will be the last (think of your past)
Mistakes I ever make? (Don't break when)

Vox grabbed her hand and her chin as his face is inches apart from hers. He then pushed her against the couch that's nearby as her back was slammed against it.

There is so much power
So much power
But there's no puppets here

Damari's cheeks turned pink in shock as Vox crawled on top of her, pinning her against the couch. He grabbed her chin again and leaned his screen face closer to hers while he secretly summoned a golden contract.

This is the price (I'm just a girl) we pay for love
There is the line (I'm just a girl) never enough
So much power
So much power (Forgive me)
But there's no puppet here
I can't

Before he could kiss her, Damari pushed him away and got off of the couch. She moved towards the full glass window for her to face the Pentagram City. Vox was shocked at her refusal and got annoyed, hiding the contract behind his back. Damari starts thinking about her human family on Earth.

Back at home, my family and friends awaits for me
They're my everything, my daring light
And they're all my power, all my power
But it's been 6 whole months
Oh, 6 whole months since I have seen them
And now I fear the God is out to end my life
So I beg you, Vox, grant us mercy
And let us puppets leave

Vox was surprised at her begging and blinked for a moment. He then sighed, making the contract disappear.

Ah, God, eh?
There might be a way to evade him
There might be a way to get home
Though this other way's very dangerous
It might be your one final hope
I know of a brilliant prophet
Problem is this prophet is dead
I can't get you home, but I'll get you to the 6 Rings instead
I'll release your friends, and I'll get you to the 6 Rings instead

Damari is surprised at his sudden help. Vox smirked and gestured her to follow him as they walk out of his office.

Wait, you're helping us?
There are many ways of persuasion
There are many modes of control
Maybe showing one act of kindness
Leads to kinder souls down the road

Vox frowns as his mind flashes back to himself and Alastor being all happy and buddies from the seven years past. He keeps walking as he leads her to her mind controlled friends.

I remember actions of passion
I have been in love once before
Maybe one day, the world will need a puppeteer no more
Or maybe one day, the world will need a puppeteer more

The ones working for Vox sang the last song.

So much power, so much power
But there's no puppet here
No he's not a player, he's a puppeteer
No he's not a player, he's a puppeteer
Yeah

As soon as he released her friends from his mine control, Damari was speechless as her friends are relieved to be free. Vox smirked and cupped her chin to make her look up to him, causing her to blush a little. Little did they know, Alastor was hiding in the shadows glaring at their interaction in dismay.
