Secrets of a Demon Heart || Alastor x Vox (RadioStatic) || Hazbin Hotel

Chapter 18

TW: mention of drugs, violence

Alastor needed to go downstairs. He couldn't hide forever. He needed to explain himself, but his brain was currently incapable of finding a decent excuse to why he had pain killers and alcohol. He does not wanna go through what Angel did when Charlie forced him into a therapy campaign for drug addiction. Sure, Alastor could say he was taking the pills because his wound hurt but then Charlie would force Lucifer to take the pain away and then Alastor wouldn't have an excuse to have those pills around after that.

He groaned. What mess did he get himself into...?

When he entered in the lobby, Alastor expected to have all eyes on him. He expected a bombard of questions and he has already prepared answers for all the potential ones that could be asked. But instead, a rather entertaining scene was unfolding when he arrived.

All the hotel members - except Lucifer (who knows where the bastard went) - were currently trying to stop a raging Valentino from entering the hotel. Behind the screaming moth demon, Vox too was trying to stop his colleague from entering the hotel. It was a most certainly an amusing sight.

"Well well well! What is happening here?" Alastor teleported down with a cheery voice. He tried not to flinch when everybody turned their head to face him.

"Alastor, you're here!" Charlie exclaimed.

"Alastor, fucking help us!" Vaggie shouted.

"Alastor, did you know that your cat and my whore are fucking each other!?!?" Valentino screamed.

"Alastor, I can explain..." Husk stammered.

Alastor blinked. He already had enough weight on his shoulders. He did not wanna deal with Husk and his relationship with Angel.

"Good day to you too Val! It's...been a while." Alastor mumbled. The last time he spoke to the moth demon was before he and Vox fell out, all those years ago. "Is there something you need from our hotel?"

"I need to have a word with Angel Dust." Valentino's eyes glowed red, and Vox tried to pull him back. Alastor's smile tightened.

"Hm? Has he not been going to work?" The radio demon questioned.

"Did I not just tell you that Angel Dust and your cat have been fucking? Are you not a little more alarmed!?!?!?!??!?!" Valentino screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Mhm. Yes, I'll deal with it later." Alastor said, hearing how Husk's breath hitched in fear. "But for now it would be nice if you could leave the hotel and leave us alone? You see, we have been very busy trying to..." He paused, feeling his ears threatening to pin down against his head but he stopped them. "We have been busy trying to prepare for the return of the Queen of Hell."

"Excuse me?" Lucifer said.

"What." Charlie said in unison.

"That bitch is coming back!?" Adam exclaimed. Then everybody remembered that Lilith wasn't only Lucifer's wife, but also Adam's ex-wife.

Alastor ignored everyone and continued. "Angel's help is very appreciated and we need his help to get all the preparations done." Valentino looked like he was about to protest, so the Radio demon stopped him again. "If you argue with these conditions you might need to go through the trouble of consulting the Queen of Hell herself. And trust me...that isn't something you would want to deal with."

Alastor sounded like he was speaking from experience, but everybody knew that wasn't true. Or was it...?

"I can confirm. I hate that bitch." Adam agreed. "Nobody likes Lilith."
