"Ah! (Y/n), care to join me?"

"O-okay."

The tall demon sitting next to you made you feel nervous. He offered you coffee, but you politely declined, hating the bitter taste. The only drinks you could tolerate that were bitter were beer and wine. You barely drank when you were alive, but you somehow loved them.

Charlie and Vaggie soon can down, which made you relax much more. Vaggie sat next to you Charlie on her side.

"When will that stupid spider come down," Vaggie hissed.

" I'm sure he's almost ready," Charlie said.

Sure enough, he soon came down the stairs for breakfast all glammed up. Everyone except you say down to eat breakfast.

"You coming (y/n)?" Asked Charlie.

"Never been much of a breakfast person," you answer.

You suddenly remember what happened last night and turned on the news. You intensely watch as it had just started. It's about halfway through when you hear the words that make your heart sink.

"Come back to see what famous demon thought to be dead has returned!"

The others are finishing breakfast when Angel sits down beside you. "What's so interesting on the 'news'?" He asks. You respond by saying, "It says an old demon presumed to be dead is back," you feel your heart start to race as you know it's you. You were very famous for being the only demon being able to turn into a dragon.

The news comes back and sure enough, it's you as a dragon you see on the screen. "HOLY SHIT THAT THING BEAT THE CRAP OUTTA HIM!" Angel exclaims as he watches the feed. This gets the attention of the others. Alastor is the last to look, but when he does his smile widens into an evil- cold, dead grin. You can see his eyes flicking from static to normal.

This makes your stomach drop, knowing you would be almost instantly killed if he found out and knew your location. You always thought that you could teleport out of a jam, but you know you need full concentration to of it. This was something you lost over the years. Sure- you were able to practice, but that was calm, this is if you're being choked, you did it once and you don't think you'll be able to do it again.

You excuse yourself, and run to your room. You checks glow a bright red on the markings. The makeup isn't even there anymore.

You rush into your bathroom putting as many layers as you can on. There is a slight tint but you can barely see it.

You smash your face into the pillow saying, "How could I let this happen?" You hear a familiar knock at the door. You open it revealing Alastor who asks to come in. He asks why you look like your about to cry, even though you know you can't for some reason. You make up a quick excuse that memories of how you died came flooding back to you, even though you've known for a while.

He asks if You want to tell him, and You suddenly find an opening of how to get him to trust you. You think to yourself, if I can get him to trust me I'll take revenge when he least expects it.

You quickly change your emotion to sad, knowing you won't have to fake all of it considering you got emotional whenever you remember you death. You feel your cheeks stop glowing. He sits next to you on the bed as you sigh.

"When I was alive, I was in a planned marriage with my fiancé. He abused me almost twice everyday. He would come home drunk most nights. One night, he was so drunk, he threw a knife barely missing my face. I ran out to the car and got away. The car ran out of gas so I walked to a nearby town. A nice man offered to let me stay in his house for the night, and I thought nothing of it, so I accepted. Something hits me on the head; I wake up tied up learning I am a sacrifice to some demon here. I get killed, and my soul cannot move on because the demon dragged it down to hell."

You feel yourself start to shake, as you have never been this open, even if it was to get revenge. You feel your muscles tense as Alastor pulls you into a hug.

You look up and him and he pulls you closer.

"I won't ever let something like that happen to you here my dear."

You look up at him, and without warning, he kisses you. His lips smashing into yours, you have never felt this feeling, like someone truly cares about you. When you both break the kiss for air he hugs you close to his chest.

"Now my dear, won't you come with me? We have a big day ahead of us."

You smile, and taking his hand you walk down to the lobby.
