You Won't Get Away Twice (Alastor x Reader)

Chapter 56: Unknown future standing in front of us.

~T Minus 4(?) More Chapters!~

I watch Alastor walk down the hallway with Emma after saying goodbye to Velvette. She has her entire hand wrapped around just one of his fingers. She pulls him along for a little while until he gets tired of hunching over due to their height difference. He finally picks her up and continues walking.

"Do you want to go play?" Alastor asks Emma, who nods enthusiastically. "Me too. I happen to know where a fun and vast forest is. I think you'll have a lot of fun exploring." He says to her.

My fox ear twitches as I catch their conversation. "Don't lose her!" I yell at Alastor.

I hear his laugh as he looks back at me. "Never, my love." He says confidently as they round the corner. I can't help but smile and shake my head.

As they leave, I walk down to the main lobby of the hotel. I can hear many voices all talking in a panic. I figured this would happen.

"(y/n)!" Charlie yells as she runs up to me, showing me her phone. "Have you seen this?! Do you know anything about it?!" She questions rapidly. I probably should have given her a heads up.

"You look horrible!" Angel laughs, showing his phone to Vaggie. "Come on, look at it!" He encourages.

Vaggie rapidly shakes her head and looks away. "No way! From what you've all said, it looks gruesome, and I don't want to see her look like that." That's absolutely valid.

"What are you up to, sly vixen?" Husk's voice brings me back to reality. I look at him and then back at the group as a whole.

"Long story short, Velvette is helping Alastor and I with a project. I'm sorry Charlie. I should have told you ahead of time since we were using your image and distorting it." I put my hands together and do my best to give her puppy dog eyes. "Will you forgive me?" I tease.

"I-I mean..." Charlie looks at me and then back at her phone. "...I will. But this is insane, (y/n)." She sounds a little reluctant and not entirely happy. I do feel a bit guilty.

"We'll say it was all a hoax as soon as we're done, I promise. I'll fix it." I try to encourage her. Charlie sighs, giving me a small smile.

"I trust you." She says, putting her phone away. "What exactly are you up to?" She asks. I never did clearly answer the question earlier.

"I think it's better the less you know, honestly." I can tell that statement didn't make her feel any better. I need to keep her distracted. "Oh! Actually, I'm going to need Alastor here in a minute, but he's currently watching Emma. Any chance I could ask you to get Alastor from his room for me and maybe spend some time with Em-" before I can even finish my sentence Charlie is already distracted and on board.

"I would love to spend time with the little one!" Charlie does small jumps up and down, clapping her hands together. "I'm going now before you change your mind!" She laughs, pulling Vaggie along. "Come on Vaggie! Emma! Your aunties are on their way!" She yells down the hallway.

I know it will take them some time to get there, hopefully this plan works.

"Come on, sly vixen." Husk grabs my attention again. I turn to look back at him. He crosses his arms and looks at me concerned. "What are you doing? I've known you for years. You're planning something." He does know me well.

"I have a feeling that things may escalate quickly, Husk." I explain to him, still not giving him much information. I see his face change to more worry. "Maybe it would be best if you and Angel spent time together somewhere else in the hotel. Just to be safe." I recommend.

"What do you think is going to happen?" Angel asks, just as confused as Husk.

As Angel asks, the front door to the hotel flies open violently.

Something about her entrance feels menacing, overwhelming, and powerful. Even though the surrounding area isn't dark, I notice her eyes first. Angry glowing purple eyes aimed right at me. I've never seen her before, yet she knows exactly where to direct her anger. This absolutely isn't good.

I've angered Lilith, that's for sure. Let the festivities begin. For Alastor. For my love. For our blessing, Emma. For my... perfection.

"Holy shit." I hear Angel mutter. I forgot for a second that they were still here! I look over at him, but he's focused on Lilith. "She looks pissed. What did you do?" He asks me quietly.

"This isn't your problem, Angel." I remind him. "Please, leave before you get stuck in this." I plead with him.

"She's right, Angel." Husk says, walking up to Angel and holding his hand. Any other time I would give Husk a little crap for showing this affection, but I'm happy he's finally being more forward with how he feels with Angel. "Find Charlie and Vaggie. Keep Emma safe." Husk says. Wait... Husk isn't going to pull him away?

"Husk..." I grab his attention. "Go." I say quietly but sternly. That smile is always heartwarming, but I know he can see the worry in my eyes. He still hasn't let go of Angel's hand.

"Not a chance, sly vixen." Husk responds. He lets out a deep laugh, his smile turning into a smirk. I don't miss how his tail swishes with a little more gusto. "How many times do I have to tell you? We'll survive. Today is no different, and ain't no way in Hell I'm letting you tackle this on your own." Husk moves his eyes over to the enraged Lilith. He's dead set on staying and I don't think anything I say will change his mind.

"Same here, toots." Angel chimes in. I know I'm surprised by his declaration, but Husk must be a whirlwind of emotions right now. "I may not have the history you and Husk do, but I've enjoyed getting to know you while you've been here. Our ups and downs, truths and lies, they've all made our growing friendship deeper. Fuck, you never had to give me my soul back, but you did." Angel seems lost in thought as he pulls out one of his tommy guns. Where the Hell does he hide these things? "Let me use my freedom how I want!" Angel winks.

There's no way I'm talking either of them out of this, is there? I can't help but smile. "Thank you, both of you." I say quietly, sincerely. Husk and Angel both nod, our agreement confirmed and an unknown future standing in front of us... insanely pissed.

I look back at Lilith, I need her to stay upset in order for our plan to work.

"Are you here because you're worried, Lilith?" I taunt. I sound much more confident than I feel right now. Just have to stick to the plan. "I wonder what happened." My tone of voice insinuates I'm only here to provoke her, let's see if it works.

"You better hope she's okay." Lilith does sound pissed as she walks into the hotel. Even her stride has power. I'm fucked if this doesn't work. "Whatever happened to her, I'll be sure to return the favor, tenfold." She threatens.
