Queen of Hearts (Alastor x Reader)

Red Queen

Shit... what the hell is doing Alastor here... I mean, this is a hotel to rehabilitate... well (y/n) be cool and answer him.

-Alastor... nice to see you again- I try to make my best smile, but I really am uncomfortable.

-Could you please... let her hand go?- Cerberus was used to read my expressions so he knows I'm uncomfortable. He walks to my side giving Alastor a challenging look.

Alastor keep his smile and let my hand go.

-Well of course kid... I will let her hand alone...- Alastor also gives him a challenging look.

-you know each other? - Charlie asked innocently.

-Yes my dear, I've known this lovely lady for quite a good... I don't know... how many years now my dear? - Alastor asked looking at me.

-Like...90 years...- I confessed. They all looked surprised- it's a long story... but I will not tell you...- I stated- by the way... where do we sleep tonight? - I asked Charlie.

-Oh... I almost forgot...- she searched in her pocket for 3 keys and she handed them to me.

-Thanks, will you show me those rooms?- I asked again.

Then Charlie gives us a tour of the hotel until we reached the rooms, Cerberus was next to me and Aly in the room opposite.

The rooms were big, with a giant closet, the bed had black and red blankets, there was also a table to have the tea, I walk into my room and open the windows it led to a balcony with a beautiful sight of the red sky. It seems that the room has a personal bathroom.

The bathroom had a large tub and a big mirror, they give us some towels, soap, and shampoo. I then started to unpack my baggage, putting all my clothes in the closet and some special soaps in the bathroom.

Once I had everything done, I came to the living room to talk to Charlie, but it seems she wasn't there... maybe she goes outside with Vaggie or Angel.

So, I toured the place with more freedom, I put special attention to the furniture and decorations, then a door caught my eye... I walked silently to the door and look if someone was near, I don't want to be caught peeking. I put my gloved hand in the doorknob and turned it. The door was open.

-What's this?- I whispered, entering the new room, there were some tables, a scenario, some long red curtains, and... a bar?

-We are closed- I heard a hoarse voice, I look in its direction and see a demon cat... or bat? I don't know... maybe both... he has a bottle in his right hand, and obviously he was drunk.

-Hi...- I greeted- may I ask who are you?

-You don't remember me do you?- he said.

-At least I don't recognize you...- I said to the demon, but something in his voice sounds familiar.

-I'm Husk- He simply says.

-Husk?... Husk...- I started to think...- I have an idea but I don't seem to remember you yet... tell me... from where do I know you?

-Hmmp, come here and drink with me- he offered- you soon remember me.

I do what he wanted and sit at the bar, he was preparing some drinks, soon he put me a red liquor that seems familiar.

-On the house- he said while he started to open another beer bottle.

-Thanks- I started to drink, it really has a lot of alcohol but it was sweet, it was something tropical, then my mind start to remember some things about my past when I was still alive... an image comes to my mind and then I remember him.
