A Deal Worth A Lifetime [ Alastor x Reader ]

Chapter 7: Finding a Planner and a Rival

The princess of Hell watched as you left before going to do something about the decorations. Hoping you could find an event planner as you had recommended. Just as soon as you left though, someone else had arrived. Vaggie groaned before leaving the lobby. The tall demon noted the change in decor, what did he miss?

"Did something happen while we were gone?" The answer was clear as day, Husk shuffling over to the bar disregarding the banners and balloons. Nifty and Charlie coming down the hall with the decorations in their arms as they started to take them down.

"Al, you're back!" Charlie cast the bundle in her arms aside, creating a mess on the floor, "I thought I told you about my special guest."

"Special guest?" He remembered she mentioned it, but he couldn't be bothered to care. He couldn't see how any special guest could do more for this hotel than he was already doing.

"Yes, she had managed to get some people to come, but then they left," exactly his point! If it were him those people  would have stayed, "now to make up for it, she's going to find an event planner, isn't it great!" His mind went blank, he completely forgot about that. He only knew about staffing for companies like this through his wife, and occasionally sitting down to have a drink with his brother in law. How could he of all demons forget!?

"Is that so?" The princess nodded, "well, I'm sure I can find someone much better than this special guest of yours can." Brushing off his suit, he was confident that his choice would be magnificent compared to anything you could muster.

"You don't have to, I'm positive whoever Y/n brings back will be perfect for the job." That was the trigger. Y/n? How cruel did this blazing inferno have to be, luckily his Y/n was up in Heaven safe and sound. He had met many Y/n's in his afterlife but none of them had been his wife, so he killed them all. Truly a simple fix.

"I'd be happy to do so, this Y/n gal has another thing coming if she thinks she can swoop in and take my job." This was a matter of pride, it was his idea to watch people suffer, he would not have it taken away by this guest of Charlie's.

"But-" Waving her off he summoned his staff.

"No buts my dear, I'll be back sooner than you know it." Charlie stood in shock as he just manifested into a shadow and left again, teleporting from the hotel to wherever he deemed fit.

"He just up and left!?" Vaggie was just going to question him on why he even left in the first place,  grumbling more insults she calmed herself, "so what was it this time?"

"I told him Y/n was going to get an event planner," Charlie cast a worried glance at the door, "I just hope they don't run into each other." She knew what you were capable of, she was only partially aware of what Alastor had been capable of. It may not end well for anyone if either of you clashed, the idea alone had her worried.

"Yeah, let's hope they don't," Vaggie knew that look, sighing she put a hand on Charlie's shoulder, "she'll be fine I'm sure." All they could do was hope you would be fine.

"Ya know, I feel like I've met you before, but I can't remember where." The blonde stared at you before shaking her head, leaning on her head on her hand. Slumping forward a bit. 

"I wouldn't know." With a shrug, you sighed. You wanted to say the same, but what evidence did you have that would prove any connection to her. It was now that you decided it would be a good time to ask.

"Do you think you could do me a favour?" She eyed you suspiciously as you mimicked her posture, placing an elbow on the table and resting your head on your hand.
