Devika x Alastor - Giving love a second chance. ( An OC x Canon story. )

Her Past. (Pt1.)

Alastor saw the joy and gratefulness she had in her eyes after he agreed, it made him smile again, he was happy to see her happy.. "Heh! I'm happy to see you smile again, Al!" She happily said. Then she went to his bed and sat down.. She pat the spot next to her, and he obliged, giving her a slight nod before he went to her and sits down next to her.

Devika let out a soft sigh before she began with her tale.. "...I was abandoned in an orphanage since birth.. I never knew or understood why.. But maybe my parents were poor? Or just didn't want children? Maybe mom died, and father didn't wish to bother with me, or he couldn't affort it, or he just blamed me for her death? Or maybe I wasn't his child? I don't know.. There are so many reasons on why they could have abandoned me there.. But as I grew.. I felt quite misrable.. Like a burden.. A mistake.. I had many things running around my head, the reasons why they abandoned me.. I wasn't sure how to feel.. But I was always so depressed and upset.. I always wanted to have parents.. But I never did.. I never recieved parental love.. I always wanted a mother and father who would hold me and comfort me when I am sad or scared.. A parent who would hear me out and try to understand me or advise me for a better path.. A father who would tell me stories when I am about to go to sleep, or a mother who would sing for me.. A parent who would treat my wounds and kiss them to feel better.. But.. I never got any of that.." She said softly and sadly, tears rolling from her cheeks as her eyes were full of them. She was so heart broken and crushed..

Alastor didn't know what to say, but he understood her at some point.. He alwas wanted a father, but only had a mother for a little.. Till he lost her as well.. He could understand how lonely Devika felt without parents to be there for her to protect her and be there for her and such. He let her continue, watching and listening to her with a sad look in his eyes. "...The orphanage I was abandoned in was quite poor.. The place looked old, and not very well taken cared off, and there was mold in some rooms as well.. The food.. Not always good.. Sometimes it was moldy, dry or unwell prepared.. The beds were also uncomfortable, and on winter it was often very cold. There were bugs and mice sometimes as well.. Mostly in the kitchen.. Was quite disgusting, honestly. I often caught stomach diseases or got horribly sick from the food sometimes.. Many times I didn't eat because I hated the food, or knew it was shit.. Often those who worked in that orphanage got angry at me because of me not eating.. The workers were so horrible.. They weren't many.. But they were enough.. They mostly did it for the money, or just because they needed it.." She explained.

Alastor's smile was quite soft, he looked away, lowering his head a little, he hated seeing her cry and sad looking like that.. Devika noticed how he reacted, and wiped her eyes, sniffing, she tried to act like it didn't bother her much, and tried hard. She looked back at him, and gently placed her hand on his shoulder.. Alastor sighed softly, looking at her with the corner of his eye. "Don't be sad.. I know.. It was hurtful and painful.. Wounds may heal, and leave scars, yes.. But.. If one lives in the past.. Those scars were still gonna be scars if we didn't allow them to heal.." Devika said gently with a smile.

Alastor blinked, then sighed softly. "I'm sorry.. For what you've been through.. I can understand you quite well.." He said.. Devika's smile slightly softened when he said that, the way he said it sounded like it came out from his actual scarred heart and tortured soul.. "Don't be sad, Al.. Look around you now! Life is better than before.. And it's better for me too.." She said with a smile, trying her best to brighten up his mood. "...How is it better?" He asked looking up at her, his smile was completely faded.. Devika looked a bit suprised to see him without his smile, but she tried to ignore that fact and eccept him as every normal demon she did. "For starters.. We don't live a poor and nasty life anymore.. And we have lots of friends! Friends are family.. And we have quite a big family! ...Honestly.. If I knew my life in Hell was gonna be this wonderful.. I was gonna kill myself before turning into a stupid prostitute.. Dying was a blessing to me than a punishment.." She said.
