The Rise and Fall

A Sibling's Advice

Chapter 10

Four days passed by in a flash, the news and media in general still absolutely buzzing about Valentino's death. With no one to run the porn industry, it seemed that the demons who were closest to Valentino had that suddenly thrown at them, and with it a lot of work.

Angels Dust's name was constantly being thrown around the media, reporters from all across the pentagram attempting to contact the spider for even so much as a word, but of course, they got nothing.

In those few days, Alastor had been watching over Angel as best he could while still giving him the space the arachnid seemed to want.
Occasionally, the deer would bring food and drink up for the arachnid, however, the majority of the time, the food was left pretty much untouched. Alastor supposed at least Angel hadn't tried to leave at all in his very fragile mental and physical state.

The Radio Demon had been out the majority of the day, leaving Angel in the house. He'd only recently returned and had sat himself down when a loud and rapid knock at the door came.
While out, he had been bombarded by a fair few passerby demons wondering about the death of Valentino, what the deer's relationship really was with Angel, considering the two had been noticeably causing chaos together for a while now and where the arachnid was now.
All of those questions, Alastor ignored.

Slowly standing, Alastor teleported to the door, eyes narrowing as it opened. If it was any sort of reporter or trouble maker asking questions, Alastor was in no mood to show any mercy.
However, the demon that stood before him was not what Alastor had been expecting. Especially not after the state she'd left him in a couple of weeks ago.

"Molly?"

Molly had been worried sick about her brother, having seen the live broadcast and reports scaring her all the more. She'd tried contacting Angel but to only be greeted by a full voicemail.

She could only hope now that Alastor knew where he was, seeing as he was the last demon to see him since the broadcast. She still resented the man for what he did, but he was the only one with insight.

"Where is my brother? You were the last one to see him."
She asked firmly, eyes sharp as she glared at the Radio Demon in front of her. She wasn't going to barge inside this time, not having the time nor the patience to do so unless he actually had information of use to her.
From what she could see, Alastor looked tired due to the small bags under his eyes and drained smile.

It was no surprise what Molly was here for, however, Alastor just had not been expecting the unexpected visit.
Still, his smile stayed wide, the door opening a little further.

"Why, I do believe that your dear brother is upstairs as we speak! You may visit him if you wish."
Stepping aside for the spider to go in, Alastor simply smiled.
"Perhaps if he speaks with you, he'll be in a better state of mind, shall we say."

Molly didn't waste any time, quickly stepping inside and made her way upstairs, remembering where her brother's room was.
"Anthony!"
She called.
"Anthony please tell me your okay-"
Her words faltered as she made it to his bedroom and saw he wasn't there.

Looking down the hallway at the door she knew to be Alastor's room, she made her way over. The female spider didn't care about any rules Alastor might have had in place. She needed to know Angel was really there and well.

Alastor knew that Molly would be entering his room, something that wasn't usually permitted, however, the deer knew the spider couldn't do any harm with the knowledge of what was inside.
He just hoped that Molly would be able to help Angel in some sort of way.

Making his way back into the lounge, Alastor took a seat in his usual chair, leaving the two spiders to their conversation upstairs. He figured that neither of them would want him up there, the deer not exactly on either of their good sides he supposed.
