Book 1: The Rabbit's Obsession (Alastor x Oc)

Chapter 12: Husk

I make my way over to the bar and sit down. Husk was asleep on the counter. I gently tap his shoulder and he quickly got up. He looked at me confused for a moment and then asked, "Who the fuck are you?" I didn't answer him for he figured it out himself because then he whispered, "Alice?" I just gave him a Cheshire Cat like smile and just nodded my head. His eyes now we're wide and then he asked me, "Do you know what's going on around here? Who is that next to Alastor. Why are you disguised as a man?" In hushed Whispers I spoke to him of what had happened to me and everything that had been going on since the previous two nights.

"Well shoot Alice" he said almost breaking out of his whisper.

It made me happy to know that I still had an ally someone who remembered me. I let out a big relieved sigh and stated, "Husk you don't know how happy this makes me. I'm glad you remember me because the others sure don't."

"Don't worry Alice you will find a way to fix all this," he smiled as he whispered to me.

Right away, I felt a hand on my shoulder I looked over to see Angel. He smirked at me and asked, "So what brings you here hot stuff?" I looked at him with a questioning look and then it hit me. I took a deep breath and say, "I'm sorry but I am straight." I knew that Angel didn't care but still. Next, Vaggie pointed her spire at me and said, "Who are you really? You remind me of the Radio Demon?" So it is working. That means my little Act is working as well. I just gave her a smile and say, "Why whatever do you mean?" My smile widened as I stared into her eyes. I stood up then I put my hand on her cheek.

Suddenly, Vaggie grabbed her head in pain dropping her spear to the ground. One down four to go. After a minute or two she looked at me questionably and asked, "A... Alice?" I kept staring at her but this time I brought my finger up to my lips and made a shush sound. Her voice then drop to a whisper and then she asked me, "How did you get turned into a man?" I gave her a quick explanation. Angel just sat there looking confused. Angel an attempted to try to flirt with me once again but to no avail. But there was one thing that came out of it you started remembering me.

"You make a good looking man toots," Angel seductive smirk on his lips.

I just rolled my eyes at his comment classic Angel. I hear some sort of radio sounds from behind me. I look to the owner only to see Alastor standing there. It had been a day since I had gotten back here. After just standing behind me for a bit I'll store move to the seat available next to me. Angel had gone to talk to Charlie for some odd reason. Husk had fallen back asleep.

"So Alex what made you want get redeemed?," he queried.

I thought for a moment what do I should I tell him. It's weird having to play someone else. After a minute or two I finally said, "I just felt like it." He raised an eyebrow at me and stated, "Intriguing." I just sat there and stared at his handsome face. I have some interesting habits. I quickly snap myself out of my trance. I could feel her stare piercing my back.

"So Alex, how did you die," he asked me out of the blue.

I have never told Alastor how I die I was honest with him.

"A Bowman shot me through the neck," I simply said cringing at the memory.

"That's unfortunate," he stated.

"Oh Alastor sweetheart," I hear her annoying voice say as she wraps her arms around his shoulders.

I filled my eye twitch at the motion she did. I felt it an extremely low growl almost as of a whisper in the back of my throat bed. I watched as she gave Alastor's cheek a quick peck. Alastor flinched as if you didn't want the contact. My lips twitched as I asked, "How did you two meet?" Alastor explain our meeting to me saying instead of meeting me it was Scarlett. This made me even angrier. I simply stated with a somewhat monotone voice, "How interesting."

Right away, I hear Charlie ask/shout, "Alex could you come here a minute?" I excused myself and go meet Charlie office. After I closed the door he asked me, "Vaggie told me that you weren't really here to get redeemed. Is this true? Also is it true that you're not really Alex?" All I said was a simple yes.

"Alex or whoever you are why did you lie to us?," Charlie seemed a bit irritated.

I took a seat in front of her desk and said, "Let me show you." She looked at me confused but before she could say anyting I grabbed her hand and allow the key memory to flow. The way my memory Powers work is whenever I touch someone's hand who I do not know I gained a copy of their core memory of me and anyone else. Then it's our memory gets messed up later I can change it back to what it was. At the moment Charlie look back to me and covered her mouth with her. I gave her a big old smile. She removed her hands and asked, "How and why Alice?" Of course I explained everything to her couldn't leave her out of this could I. I watched as she processed everything before she said, "Alice do you need me to help you?" I thought to myself could Charlie help me out I mean she was the owner of the hotel. Finally, I came to a conclusion, "I will let you know when and if I need you."
