A Deal Worth A Lifetime [ Alastor x Reader ]

Chapter 28: Together Again

Manifesting out of your sight, hidden in an alleyway along the boardwalk. Holding the worried staff, knowing he didn't need to say it messed up.

"Why would you say that?" Scolding the sentient microphone he decided to check on you. Peering out of the alley, you were a bit distracted by the crowd that gathered during the little show the two of you put on. No matter how hard he tried, he could never be mad at you. Not even in the fifth circle where rage and violence runs rampant.

"I thought you wanted her to know." Shaking his head, a deep chuckle left him as he focused back on his microphone.

"Not like that you imbecile." About to continue his ranting to the staff he was interrupted by your yelling. Head jerking around violently in your direction, if those sinners had even laid a claw on you. Watching you point your gun around at anyone who got close.

"Back off." They didn't listen and instead started their attack. Stepping out of the alley, gunshots ringing through the air and white flashes of light, as bodies started to fall around you. A marvellous show if he said so himself. He supposed he didn't have to worry about you, sitting onto a nearby chair stationed outside a small cafe.

Demons starting to run away from you once realizing they were actually dying. A pity they wouldn't be able to escape. Snapping his fingers to create a barrier, flames rising from the ground in a perfect circle around them all. You, of course, paid no mind to his efforts and continued killing the vermin off. To think, you were doing just fine on your own, without him. A tragedy that you didn't need him to get rid of them for you. Standing from the chair hiding in the shadows as he began his broadcast.

"Hello everyone! I have a very special guest joining me today!" His voice echoed around the area, keeping out of your sight as you looked for him. Hearing the screams as sinners fell at your hand.

"It seems I've made my darling angel a little upset, just a fair warning to those who reside on the fifth circle, a second death is in your near future." Flames soaring higher as the wails of despair grew louder, a wonderful melody you were playing for him.

At the sight of you, he was swooning, covered in a bloody slush and violently striking down anyone who tried to challenge you.

Firing off another couple of shots, hitting your targets as they ran. Bodies falling and melting away. The dark grey sand beneath your feet now a deep red. Looking for Alastor was your main goal, but if demons got in your way, you just needed to clean up the clutter.

Walls of flames had risen in different directions, a detail you now noticed. He had to be here somewhere, you heard him broadcasting just moments ago. Spreading your wings and taking to the sky, certain you'd find him much faster this way. Crowds upon crowds of demons, but you couldn't find him.

Aiming and infusing your bullet with light, it hit the crowd and expanded. Sand and bits of flesh flying everywhere. Whoever got caught in the light dissolved, the rest attempting to flee. Landing on the boardwalk, a constant ring of static in the air as you looked around. He was nearby.

A loud yell caught your attention, turning just in time to get tackled to the ground, "this is all your fault! You're the reason he's here!" The demon had a grip on your neck, using their body weight to hold you down. Raising a fist in the air getting ready to strike.

Dark swirling shadows formed behind them, a large clawed hand grabbing the back of their neck and squeezing hard. Pulling them off of you, Alastor tossed them into a void. The portal closing up, silencing their cries. You almost thought he would do something similar to you, not expecting to be lifted off the ground. Getting cradled in his arms like a child.
