The daughter of the radio

Troublesome devil

Illusion had turned two only a few months ago. Alastor found out that a toddler was a handful. But one that could turn into a shadowy mist was even harder. She would turn into this mist to avoid having a bath. Or even to avoid going to bed, leaving her father to bribe her with something just to ensure she would listen.

Alastor pinched the bridge of his nose as he gazed to the shadowy mist that floated in front of him. "Illusion. You need to bathe! For filthy my little fawn." He gazed to the muddy footprint trail she lead in from the back door.

"But I don't want to!" She whined her voice echoing as she spoke. He could hear the upset tone in her voice. "What do you want in return my dear?" As soon as that question left his mouth he knew he would regret it. To which he did. "You must join me, and Charlie, and Angeldust for a tea party!" She huffed out.

His.smile shrank before he drew out a long sigh. "Alright. I'll join you for your teaparty my dear." He says softly. Red eyes softening as his daughter came to form. Small pointy horns adorn her head. Dark grey hair that stopped at her shoulders, she wore her favorite skull shirt that Vaggie gifted her her and a pair of grey shorts. Her feet had her black cat socks on, the small demon's eyes were lit up happily, one of the eye whites was blacker then night, surrounding a red iris. Both her eyes were a dark blood red. And would fade when she was upset to a grey.

He held his hand out before his young adopted daughter took it and headed upstairs with him. The bath was already ran. Alastor touched the water quickly before smiling as he realized it was still wear, thank goodness for that, he turned to her before undressing her before slipping her into the tub. The small tot giggling a bit as her hands grabbed her favorite bath toy. A blue bullshark toy, she loved it when she little it was the only way she would even bathe at the time.

Alastor would roll up his sleeves humming a song to himself as he grabbed the cup that was on the bathtub, before he would fill it with water. He hooked a finger under Illusion's chin tilting her head up a bit as he carefully poured the water in her hair. Trying not the get it in her face.

Last time it got into her face she panicked and refused to even drink water, for a day. He would keep humming as he squirted some shampoo into his hand before rubbing his hands together, he soon began to rub the shampoo into her hair watching as it began to lather up, once that was done he would take the cup and rinse out her hair. And repeat with the conditioner. He smiled as he went to set the cup on the sink counter before turning towards his dsughter, only to be greeted by an large splash of water. And an loud proud giggle from the monochrome female. Alastor's smile drooped a bit as his ears pinned back from the water before he let out a frustrated sigh. He unplugged the tub before grabbing two towels from the closet beside the bath. He laid on on his shoulder before he pulled Illusion out and began to pat her dry. Wrapping her in the towel before he began to dry his own hair and ears before leaving the towel around his shoulders.

The radio demon soon took Illusion to her room before getting her dressed into the black jeans and purple t-shirt he had pulled out for her before her bath. He helped her get dressed before he headed to his room to get changed.

Illusion watched her father go before she headed out of her room and downstairs slowly. She headed to the kitchen. Her small spaded tail twitching as she entered the room. She soon opened the fridge humming before she pulled it a the cookie she left in there earlier that day. She wandered to the den nibbling on her cookie as she waited for her dad.

Alastor came down stairs shortly after his daughter finished his cookie before he helped her with her shoes. Before taking her hand and heading out. The door shutting and locking on it's own behind he as he dad walked towards town. Not as quickly as he used since Illusion and her small legs.

Illusion would watch demons stare at her dad fearfully as the passed. Before it turned into a glarge when the saw her. She was confused none the less but never questioned it. It was a bit of a walk before then finally made it to the hotel.

When they entered, Alastor could see an old friend of his sitting on the couch. "Melody! My dear! It is so good to see you here. My my my!" He laughed a bit. "Good to see you too Al." The songstress smiled her gaze turned to Illusion. "It's awesome to finally meet you. I have heard a lot about you from yor dad when you were really little." She smiled gently as the child timidly hid behind her dad's leg.

It was going to be an interesting day, Melody had a history of teasing so who knows what she would think when Illusion held her teaparty, the day went by and Alastor found himself sitting at a table with Charlie, Angeldust, Illusion, and Melody. The songstress chuckling softly as she gazed to Alastor.

"How'd you all get stuck coming?" She asks softly. Her wolf ear twitching "I promise my little fawn I would join her teaparty." He said gently. Charlie would grin "She's too cute to say no to! I couldn't deny her offer." the blonde chuckled. Angel would smirk "Kid's got a way with her words." He shrugged, it was obvious he didn't want to completely be here.

The teaparty went on and Alastor found himself actually enjoying himself, Illusion had made everyone, including herself, have to sing a song and do a dance, he loved to sing old songs, but he also loved to dance.

When the teaparty had ended Illusion bounced off to play. Alastor smiling after her before he turned to Charlie and began discussing things with her. Illusion had wandered around the hotel out of boredom before she at the fifth floor. She would grin softly as she wandered around cheerfully. Her spaded tail swaying before she blinks a bit she noticed a shadow looming around the corner and she blinked before she slowly wandered over peeking around it "Hello?" The small tot chirped.

The owner of the shadow whipped around. The male blinking in surprise to see a child, his hand held a bag that was obviously filled with stolen items. "Those aren't yours..." she frowned a bit as she stepped back. "So?" The male started eyes narrowing as the child kept backing up. "Hey now! Get back here kid!" He says sharply as he advanced after the child.

Illusion had to tell Charlie. She had to tell her someone was stealing, the small girl turned around and raced towards the elevator and stairs. She could hear the male rushing after her as she forced the stairs doors open before rushing down them. The male quickly catching up seeing he was taller and faster them the already small female.

One more flight... and she'd be in the main lobby. She gazed behind her the male almost in arms reach before she lost her balance, her eyes widen as she brought her hands down to try and catch herself only for her to tumble right down the last flight she it the bottom with a loud thud, a snap heard from it, almost as soon as she hit the ground she let out a cry, she hit the hard steps multiple times on the way down before reaching the bottom.

Alastor's ears perked as his and Charlie's gaze snapped to the staircase. Alastor instantly running over when he realized it was Illusion cry. He busted into the stairwell before his eyes widen. "Illusion!" He gasped as he knelt down beside the girl. He made note of the fast footsteps rushing up the stairs. His eyes narrowing a bit as he made note to track the demon down.

He gazed over Illusion for wounds finding a few scrapes and bruises. What made him freeze was the broken horn on her head. His eyes widening as he realized that was why she was in so much pain. He learned when Illusion was younger that her horns were sensitive to the touch, any rough bump would send large amounts of pain. A light touch would help put her to sleep. He picked up his child as Charlie frowned before she went to get a cookie for the child. Illusion sobbing into his shoulder as he headed into the lobby. Sending one of his shadows to follow the male that hurt his daughter.

He sat down on a sofa rocking her softly as the toddler would cling to him. Charlie came back with a plate off cookies and some juice. Frowning softly at the sight of the child's tears

Alastor was furious, even if no one could tell. He felt a boiling rage heat up his body as he tried to calm his fawn, humming a soothing tune. He began to think about the ways he could torture this demon, kill this demon. No one hurt his daughter and got away scott free. No matter who they were.
