"To whom ever it may concern.. Hello you may not know who I am and that's okay, I am Alastor's mother, Amelia. I'm writing this letter to you to give Alastor closure, Ive written to him in the pass yet never received a response or even know if this letter has made it to him at all; I am hoping that he knows of how much I love him.. even after all the killings he's committed. I'm sorry on my son's behalf for the unfortunate events he's bestowed onto you as I've been watching you both from above partially. Congratulations on the wedding! You seem like such a darling girl, I wish our circumstances were different. Please Alastor, take care of Alastor.. he may seem stubborn but he really is a sweet boy. Please if anything you can find me at."
Love Amelia.

The rest of the letter had been torched out, someone didn't want a dangerous family reunion in the end. The letter kept repeating itself in your head, word for word as you sat on the sofa in front of the fire pondering of everything that has already been done in the last two years or so. The sound of metal clanking disturbed your deep thoughts igniting a deep burning flame of irritation, in a swift motion you flew to the basement door swung it open and descending down gracefully.

"Do you have no manners? It's almost dawn and you dare cause a ruckus at such time? If you awaken Alastor he'll come down and have his way with you, and believe me he's worse than I am."

She stared at you as the light from upstairs peeked into the room shining everything left to rot in the basement.

"So killing overlords. Satan's going to have a field day with the two of you."
"I'm sure he will! I look forward to it dearest Vaggie."
"You're crazy. You and him are perfect for each other after all, just (Y/n).. please come back with me to the happy hotel. We can put this behind us and help you."
"I don't want or need your help."
"So what. All of this is for what? To overthrow the royals?"

You walked over to her with a simple stride, grabbed her chains and brought her close to eye level.

"How do I put it? Ah.. its for pure entertainment."

You walked back upstairs locking the door behind you; something inside was still brewing and causing you to feel a bit of remorse than again you felt a hot wave of anger and emptiness. The doors leading to the backyard opened on command as the wind picked up, the smell of rain and soil was in the air as heaven's light glowed, glowed like the sticker stars found in a child's bedroom. Purposely not looking at what you were doing but knowing you were going to hit the water felt okay, falling into the pool, the cold water hitting your body causing the dress to stick to your skin, and made you lose sight and thought of the things around you.

"What in Satan's name are you doing at this hour."
"I'm sorry, did I wake you?" Moving your soaked hair from your peripheral vision in order to look up at the man he covered the bright light above.

The water moved gently as the ripples came and left, swimming towards the side where he stood watching you with crimson eyes. Your arms perched outside the water holding you up for balance as he bent over to face your wet features.

"Yes. You did wake me up. What are you doing?"
"Swimming I suppose."

You'd let go of the side and float away on your back facing the pentagram sky, it's dark blue and black looked milky as heavens constellations shone bright in hells darkest forest, just like leaving the city to the country side on earth, less light pollution makes clearer sky's at night. "I don't know how to say this without dropping any bombs, but I spoke with your mother in a way." He stood still and looked over as you continued to float carelessly, he'd shake the feeling off and started walking to the beginning of the pool watching you closely. "My mother huh. You know nothing of her." You sat up and swam towards him with half of your face underwater soon rising to meet him.
