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

Chapter 30

"Wait-...is that Alastor's blood?" Vox said as if it was a perfectly normal thing to say.

"...what?" Charlie and the rest of the hotel gave him a strange look.

"What?" Vox responded awkwardly, feigning ignorance. When the big 'war' between Alastor and Vox happened a few decades ago, the TV demon just so happened to have recorded the entire fight. During the time Alastor was missing, Vox had used all the data he had collected as a strategy to locate the red haired demon, and that included memorising even the smallest details: like his blood for example.

"You found his blood?" Vaggie asked, though it sounded more like a deadpan statement than a question. A million questions were probably going through the former angel's head, but she had no time to dwell on them for now. Whats important is the fact that Vox somehow found Alastor's blood. It's a small detail, and rather unconvincing, but a lead is a lead and they'll use it. "Where is it?"

Vox zoomed in onto a small crevice near a building. "There. You can kind of see it."

"And it seems to be leading through that alleyway over there." Charlie said, picking up on a few more details.

"You're right. I'll switch the camera." Vox murmured, clicking a few buttons before finding the right camera.

"You can see more of his blood." Angel commented, pointing a finger at the tiny and barely noticeable trail of red.

"Vox, is it possible to rewind the data on that camera? Preferably onto the time Alastor went missing." Charlie asked.

Vox nodded, rewinding the data to several weeks ago until the screen began to distort. Thats when he knew he found Alastor. There, he saw the deer along with an unknown leopard demon. The two entered the alleyway, before stopping to stand face to face to each other. Then, the two talked for quite a while, until...

In the screen, Alastor's ears suddenly peaked upwards, the distortion through the camera becoming even worse. The tail of the unknown leopard demon swinged left and right in anxiety, and both of them seemed to be preparing for a fight. But it didn't happen.

Vox blinked, and when he opened his eyes again the head of the leopard was cut clean off, its body slumping against the ground in a pool of its own blood. He heard Charlie gasp, but they didn't have time to dwell over that.

In the span of a few seconds, a tall figure walked into the view of the camera. The figure casually stepped over the dead leopard, and walked over to where a cowering Alastor stood. Despite that, his smile did not drop. And then-

"It cut off..." Vox whispered.

A moment later, the doors barged open.

"We have information." Husk declared, Niffty beside him. The two have been gathering information for the past several weeks, and after all this time it seems as if they finally got the information they needed.

"What is it?" Charlie asked, though her voice wasn't steady. Although the strange figure has not been identified yet, it's quite safe to assume that the only person possible would be Lilith: Alastor's soul owner.

Husk looked around, noticing the tension but decided to ignore it. "I talked to this cheetah demon thats owned by Alastor. She told me that she witnessed the death of her husband, who just so happened to have also been owned by Alastor."
