Burning Desire (Alastor X Reader)

Chapter 13: New Customers

*

You woke up to the sweet smell of toast. It immediately brought back good memories with your father when you were a child.

Oh dear Lord, that night still allowed you to recover from the emotions you'd endured. Working with Alastor, arguing with him, talking about your past with the princess and Vaggie, arguing again with the deer demon, seeing your friends again and finally making a deal with the person you hated most in hell. Oh Lucifer, your first day on the job was intense.

With a yawn you got out of bed and went to the bathroom. You took a quick shower, changed your outfit, took some clothes quite similar to the ones you wore on your first day, and then you started to pack your things to go home.

You tidied up your room carefully so as not to clutter up Niffty who was taking care of it. You carefully folded and tidied up the different clothes Charlie had lent you, and put all the hygiene products she had given you in a bag.

That was it. A big satisfied smile had formed on your face. Finally, you weren't going to see this deer so often anymore, you were going to be able to breathe, to resume some of your daily activities such as business for example. You also had to find time to train as well. You knew that once you were familiar with your power, you would be completely reassured once you were in front of this deer.

*

You took a deep breath to motivate yourself to face this new day and left your room. You walked down the stairs trying to wear a friendly smile on your face, even though you were not very comfortable with it. You walked into the dining room and saw Vaggie, and Charlie eating...

*

"Oh hi Y/N." Charlie said with her usual smile

*

Vaggie gave you a welcoming glance before returning to her breakfast...

*

"Good morning, girls, did you sleep well?"

"We slept very well thank you for asking." Charlie replied.

Vaggie looked at you discreetly and asked with concern.

"Alastor told us you weren't feeling well, is everything all right?"

You stiffened in front of this sudden question but quickly hid it behind a reassuring expression.

"Well um... I was very tired, I apologize for not telling you myself, but really... yesterday was an emotional day for me. I'm not really used to all this... well...no... I'm not used to all this anymore. So it completely exhausted me."

Charlie gave you the same worried look as Vaggie and placed a hand on your shoulder.

"Y/N, if it's really too difficult for you, you can- "

"No no no Charlie I'm fine don't worry" you quickly reassured her "You know, it's been a very long time since I've worked in the trade, I was more into torture than anything else. I just need to get back into the habit, don't worry. " you pushed a little forced laugh " I've been throught much worse. What kind of demon would I be if I give up at the first sign of trouble."

*

The two girls continued to stare at you, but Charlie's expression became more calmer.

*

"All right then," she said with a big smile, "if you have a problem, don't forget you can tell us about it, right? »

*

You nodded your head. You looked at Vaggie and silently asked her if she'd told Charlie about what you'd learned about Alastor.

The princess noticed you and answered for her...
