A Deal Worth A Lifetime [ Alastor x Reader ]

Chapter 22: Flightless Bird

Groaning, your eyes fluttered open. A tight grasp on your arm keeping you up, your hands were tied, literally. Attempting to yawn you couldn't, to put it frankly, your face had been adorned with a muzzle. Lifting your head to find that Vox stood beside you.

"Finally awake? Good." The doors to the elevator opened and he didn't hesitate to practically drag you along with his tall form. A large room had opened up for you two, an entire wall filled with reflective windows. Lush pillows stationed atop a long curved couch around a circular coffee table, one you doubted they used for coffee much.

"I see you found her Vox, maybe now she'll understand her place in this world." You could understand why Valentino was currently mad at you, but why had Vox come and gotten you personally?

You knew the two were allies, Valentino using the television stations Vox owned to promote his...business. Oh. The protests and the fact you had completely demolished one of his most popular stations.

"Val, I forget how much you said a virgin goes for, care to remind me?" Leaning down at the waist to face you, the brightness of his screen making you squint your eyes at his closeness.

"Depends on what you're looking at," Valentino stood, your height paling in comparison to their own, "Radio Demons personal bitch to top it off,"  using a hand to grip your face and make you look up at him, "and a feisty personality." Noting his tongue running over his lips as his eyes raked over you.

"Alastor was holding out on us?" Feeling the T.V demon grab your hips made you instantly kick at his foot, landing your heel into his shoe. His grip only tightened, claws digging into the fabric of your dress.

"Since you caught her, I think I might be generous and let you keep her," Valentino had let go of your face, "then again, I might not." Sending a glare to Vox as some sort of warning, the Overlord's seemed to be conflicted.

"Why not? I kinda like the attitude." Lifting you up and holding you away from Valentino, who in turn frowned at the action.

"I never said she was yours," grabbing your legs in two of his arms he smiled, "I might just take her myself." Using a third arm to reach out and hold your head to face him, your eyes wide, tears beginning to well up.

You had to get out of here, mind racing as you thought of possible escape routes. The elevator Vox took you up in would be a one-way ticket into the bulk of this disgusting place, so how- the windows. Now to just get their hands off of you.

Surrounding yourself in white light, they began to burn. Letting you go and allowing you to fall to the floor, standing up and racing towards the windows without missing a beat. The light fading as you summoned your wings, once out there you could get your hands untied and the muzzle off your face.

Your wings had been grabbed, a foot planting itself on your back pushing you down. Shouting as you got slammed to the floor. The air had been knocked out of your lungs, turning your head to see Vox had you again. The demon pulling on your appendages harshly. A yell leaving your already winded lungs.
