A Deal Worth A Lifetime [ Alastor x Reader ]

Chapter 29: Odd Findings and Devilish Deals

Staring at his reflection, touching his face. Opening his mouth to find pearly whites rather than razor-sharp teeth. Running his hands through brown locks. His sleeves pulled down to his wrists. Glancing at your worried expression behind the mirror you held.

"This isn't the first time this has happened, so you don't have to worry." Attempting to calm you only made things worse.

"Don't have to worry?" Repeating his words back to him, you sent the mirror away and started pacing again, "Al, you look human and not to mention that." Holding out a hand to present the demon behind him, it's closed eyes opening up. A much more intense red glow coming from them as the demon stared him down.

"You know I hate doing that." Alastor let out a fake gasp, putting his arm around your shoulder and pulling you to him.

"I'm not going to just ignore her tender kiss especially when it pisses you off." Pressing a few kisses to your face just to prove his point, you laughed attempting to hide from his affectionate assault.

"I should've killed you when I had the chance." The harsh words not affecting him in the least. Finding your escape by purposefully putting your head under his chin. Your little tufts of hair brushing against his neck.

"But you didn't and now you can't." You could hear the smile in his words, making you hum as you reached your hands up to play with his bowtie.

"She can still die though." Within seconds you were pulled flush against him, his hunting knife now out and pointed towards his demon.

"Would you like to rephrase that?" Blinking stupidly for a brief moment, your cheek pressing into his vest. His demon taking the end of the knife in his claws, snapping the blade and crushing it.

"Al, what's going on? This is so confusing, why are there two of you?" You had pulled away from him, he lowered his broken knife about to say something.

"Don't confuse me for him, that's a mistake you'll only make once," his demon grabbed his neck, lifting him off of the grass, "as for you, even if you die I'll live on." His smile was sinister as Alastor attempted to pry the claws off, your eyes darting back and forth between the two.

Reaching out for the two they disappeared in shadows, your hands grasping nothing but air. A loud creaking making you turn your head to see the front door opening. Wasting no time marching over, entering the house. It was pitch black inside, the only light coming from the open door. Shadows covered the windows and as you stepped in further there was a slamming behind you, completely shrouding you in darkness. Surrounding your hand in white light, it did little to aid your sight.

"Alastor?" As soon as you said his name, the sound of a radio playing from upstairs started.

Heading straight to find the stairs, slowly making your way up. Listening closer once reaching the landing, a green glow coming from the study. Up the right set of steps and down the hall, wrapping your hand around the handle tentatively. Pushing the door open slowly, revealing what was inside.
