After what seemed like eternity, the door opened. Two large, burly demons came in and undid the chain on your ankle. One of them picked you up while the other stood in front, almost guarding you. They reeked. You never had a keen sense of smell, but they had an indescribable scent of just plain nastiness. Not only this, but they were physically dirty as well. The hands of the one carrying you were grimy, and his back and hair oily beyond help. Your bare skin slipped against his, making your face contort in disgust. They both remained silent with just the echo of their steps crawling among the dim, cement walls. You lifted your head, watching the little, cold room grow smaller and smaller with each second. Internally, you were numb. Alastor, your one and only, has forgotten you. None of your new friends would be able to save you. You practically didn't exist.
Finally, the demons opened a large, oak door. The interior was covered in red velvet causing any light to shimmer against its soft bristles. Surprisingly, the demons that had escorted weren't mean...but they weren't nice either. Gently, the blue, oily demon set you on the ground and left with the other, not saying a word and locking the door. You stayed there, blank faced and empty on the soft carpet. As you sat, waiting to be taken away once again, you heard indiscrete chatter. Confusion filled your brain, as you stood up and turned around. Your legs wobbled, working hard to keep you up.
In an instant, a large, white light shone upon you. Lifting your arm in an effort to block the light, you noticed something about the room was changing. The walls turned into glass. Once your eyes adjusted, you stood in the center of the spotlight. A large voice on an intercom pounded into your eardrums. You saw a stage outside of the glass where a tall demon in a fur coat stood. His heart shaped sunglasses shimmered and reflected into your eyes. You couldn't see who sat in the audience, only a bunch of miscellaneous colored eyes peered at you, smiling.
Your stomach twisted in indescribable ways as you listened to the intercom.
"And here we have a beautiful mistake, Subject No. 469! Given name was (Y/n L/n), but feel free to rename it after purchase!" He cackled at his own words. "Bidding starts at 500k, any takers?"
Small, white signs raised in the crowd. You couldn't see what they said, but assumed they were bids.
"500, do I see 600? 600? Ah! 600! How about 7?" he continued his show.
You stood there, dumbfounded by the situation you were in. What happened to the days where you worked nonstop? Where you went home, and cried about your loneliness? When you wished someone would want you....it seems wishes don't always come true in the ways we expect...
Everything that's happened has happened so fast it seems...but what have I got left to lose? Not even my soulmate wants me...so why even try anymore...
At least someone will actually want m-
A large boom filled your ears. The ground shook, causing you to stumble and fall. The glass was so dark, it was hard to tell what was going on. Large, black masses...almost tentacle like...moved about the auditorium outside. Faint screams were heard, and just as you tried to get a little closer, you fell back. Bodies were being slaughtered and thrown everywhere. Rich, thick blood dripped down the glass.
Your heart pounded.
What was going on?
The auctioneer was no where to be found.
Suddenly, the glass broke, the dead bodies flooding into the room and staining the velvet. A radio-like voice filled your head, documenting every event happening in the moment. It sounded like-
"(Y/n) dear! Where have you been? It's not good to run off like that you know!" said the tall demon clad in red. He laughed proudly before seeing the horrified look on your face. His laugh turned into an awkward, "ha ha...ha". He walked up to you, his smile calm and his eyes showing a hint of empathy. His long arm extended its hand to you.
"May I have this dance, darling~". The bloodlust in his eyes disappeared. You quivered, reaching out your hand to him. Your emotions were so confused, but you took his hand anyway.
His smile grew as he picked you up and held you close to him. You followed his lead as he danced around the dead demons. When you reached the exit, he stopped, and hugged you.
"(Y/n)...I-"
You put your finger on his lips.
"Let's wait til we get home, Al." a small smile appeared on your lips.
He chuckled and nodded before looking away in thought.
"Dear, I have some business to attend to" he took off his coat and placed it over your shoulders, "I'll take you home first and the-"
"No" you stated, "I'm coming with you..."
He stared at you before laughing, "Your wish is my command, darling". Holding you close to him, he snapped, sending you to a very familiar room.
Across from you stood Vox and the auctioneer, both arguing.
"Val, I didn't think he cared that much! He treated her like shit!" said Vox.
"I told you to make damn sure he wasn't going to interfere!" his red eyes glowed.
The couple continued to bicker before the black tentacles from before quietly rose from the ground.
Alastor walked up to them, interrupting their party. "Why hello there! Whatever could be the matter? Did something happen with your little auction?" He smiled just as the black masses wrapped themselves around the necks of the two demons.
Their bodies lifted into the air. Alastor snapped, a large hole appearing beneath the two demons. Horrible screams were heard from the depths of this abyss, the two men kicking their feet.
Just as Vox sent a current of dark magic at you, Alastor grabbed your waist and before you knew it, you stood in the lobby of the Hazbin Hotel.
"Well we won't be seeing them for awhile!" he said as if nothing happened.
He took a few steps before turning around and looking down at you. His coat rested on your shoulders, but it was open. He stared at your body, barely clothed by the thin fabric from before. Almost instantly, he looked away and made his way behind you. His hands patted your back, motioning you to the elevator.
"Why don't you go get dressed dear, I'll make you something hot to eat in the meantime."
Warmth flooded your cheeks. He definitely saw just about everything. You nodded shyly before making your way to the elevator.
He smiled calmly at you, knowing he had finally found the missing piece to his eternal life.
