(Alastor's p.o.v.)
After the day with (Y/N) I went back to the hotel. I walked and called for everyone. One by one they each came.
" Sup, pimp?" Angel smirked.
I winced at the unwanted nickname then sighed.
" I need all of you to help me. I....have a friend on Earth needs to be protected....she means a great deal to me and she's in danger. Her and her father both."
Charlie stepped forward.
" Alastor, is this the same girl who took your staff."
" Yes it it, but we're friends now...and I dont care about getting my staff back anymore. I'm strong enough without it, but I really need help!"
Husk and Niffy nodded to each other.
" Well, you know you have our help." Nifty smiled.
I turned to Charlie and the others.
" Please, Charlie."
She sighed and smiled, placing a hand on my shoulder.
" Of course, Alastor. What is she in danger from?"
I looked down, biting the inside of my lip.
" I....was really hoping you would ask that."
Angel raised an eyebrow,  crossing all four of his arms.
" Why?"
" Because....what's after her....is Charlie's father. He's trying to take her soul."
Charlie looked at me in shock.
" Charlie I know this is asking alot, but please-!"
" You want me to fight my father?! I know he isn't a good man, but he's my father."
The others fell silent as I clinched my fists.
" I know, Charlie. But please, I need your help, I need all of your help!"
" What's so special about this girl that Charlie's father is after her soul?" Vaggie asked, holding her lover's hand.
I sighed, running my hand through my hair.
" Its her soul. It's a rare type, it holds an innocence inside of itself and can absorb powers, like it did with mine and my staff."
They all listened and Angel spoke up.
" Well, I don't mind helping. Besides, beats sitting around here with nothing to do."
I smiled at him then turned to Charlie and Vaggie. They were silent and looked at the ground. Angel rolled his eyes.
" Wow, you guys are such hypocrites!" He spat.
They turned to him and he let out a growl of annoyance.
" You guys talk about wanting to help others, but when someone comes to you wanting and needing it, you turn away!!"
Husk, Nifty, and I step away as Vaggie points a spear to him.
" Shut up, Angel! You don't--!"
" AM I WRONG!? Al had come here, practically begging for help so he can protect someone!! And what do you do!? Just because it's your dad, you're gonna turn away. No offense Charlie, but you dad has NOTHING to do with you! So who cares what he thinks!!"
Charlie looks down at the floor as Vaggie turns to her.
" Ya know." Angel says, laughing slightly. " Fine. Stay here and be the good daughter for your father, who doesn't even like you."
Angel walks over, arms crossed and an angry look on his face.
" Come on, Al. Let's go help that friend of yours."
I looked at Charlie and Vaggie for a moment then sighed.
" Alright."
I opened the portal to the human realm and we all went left, closing the portal behind us. When we got to the house, it was already the next day. I shouldn't be surprised, time works differently in hell.
" Alastor!"
I turned my head and was tackled in a hug. I smiled and hugged back.
" Hello, (Y/N). Where's your father?"
She let me go and we stood up.
" He went to work."
" And aren't you suppose to be at school?"
" Dad doesn't want me going with everything that's happening."
She looks at the others.
" Are these friends of yours?"
He nodded and smiled.
" I would like you to meet, Husk, Nifty, and Angel Dust."
She raised an eyebrow in confusion.
" Angel Dust....you mean like the drug?"
" You know it, baby." Angel smirks.
She smiles back.
" I like him. He's cool."
Angel smiled and looked around.
" Nice place ya go here."
" Thank you. We have some guest room, so you guys make yourself at home. I'm gonna call my dad and give him a heads up that we have more guests."
I nodded and she walks off.
" She's really pretty and nice." Nifty smiles.
Angel walked into the livingroom and sat on the couch.
" Now what, Pimp?"
" We wait."
We fell silent until Angel broke the silence by clearing his throat.
" Shes....a nice girl and you seem close to her."
I raised an eyebrow as I turned to him.
" Yes....why??"
" Sorry Al but.....I can help but think if you like her.....in a different way. I mean the way you looked when she hugged you. You looked.....lovestruck."
Bright red blush covered my face and my deer ears twitched.
" W-What!?"
" I noticed that too." Husk spoke, taking a seat in her father's recliner.
" You did look pretty close not to mention you allowed her to touch you. You'd usually kill anything that even came close. Angel when Angel insulted her that one time at the hotel when you running back and forth, you almost tore his head off for her."
I let my gaze drift to the floor and I  it my lower lip.

Was that really it?? It would explain why I have such a fondness for her....and how she makes my heart race.

" Just tell her, Al. The worst thing she can do is say, 'No'." Angel said, sitting back.
I clinched my fists and shook slightly.
" That's what I'm afraid of."
The room fell silent once more then (Y/N) entered the room.
" Okay! I told my dad we have more visitor and he'll be bringing home pizza. You guys are welcomed to anything in the fridge and can watch anything you want on the TV. All my dad asks is you pick up after yourselves."
They nodded and she turned to me with dazzling smile of her. I smiled back as she walked over.
" Welp, we don't have a lot of guest bedrooms. We have two but we have one blowup mattress. So, who is sleeping were?"
Angel stood up and stretched.
" I'll take the blowup mattress, toots. These two can have the bedrooms.
Got anyplace for Al?"
She turned to me for a moment.
" We can just share my room, or I can make a palette in the floor and you can take the bed." She said, in a casual tone.
" Oh good heavens no! I'm not kicking you out of your bed!"
Angel smirked at us, something that made me highly uncomfortable.
" Well, how about you guys just share the bed. Cause the other things are taken, and this couch is kinda small. And I highly doubt the either of you is going to let the other sleep on the floor."
I wanted to say something but I couldn't. He was right. (Y/N) turned to me as a small streak of blush formed on my face.
" Is that okay with you, Alastor?"
I nodded slowly.
" Yes....it'll be fine."
She smiled and gave me a hug. The rest of the day, we waited for her father to return. We played some card games and Husk showed her some card tricks. When her father did return, it was dark and we were all watching Nightmare on elm street when he walked in.
" I'm home!" He said, carrying pizza and two liters pops in.
" Hi dad! Come meet our new friends."
He walked in and (Y/N) paused the movie.
" This is Nifty, Husk, and Angel Dust."
" Angel Dust? Like the drug?"
Angel chuckled taking the pizza and putting it on the coffee table, along with the soda.
" I get that alot. And you are?"
" Jeremy. (Y/N's) father."
" You're pretty young looking. Welp, it's nice ta meet ya, hot stuff~!"
Jeremy's face went red and I turned to Angel.
" Would you behave?!"
" What? I'm just saying he looks hot!"
(Y/N) giggled as her father scratched the back of his head. We all sat in the livingroom and finished watching the movie, eating some pizza. After words, Nifty helped her father clean up and (Y/N) brought the blowup mattress into the room for Angel. After getting it sat up and bringing blankets and pillows, she turned to Angel with a smile.
" You can still watch tv, just keep it down okay?"
" Sure thing, toots. I'll see ya in the morning."
" Night, Angel."
She and I go to her room and walk in.
" I like your friends. They're nice."
" I had two others but....they couldn't come."
" I understand. I'm happy those three came though. This is actually the most fun I've had in a long time."
We sat on the bed and talked for a moment. Angel's words rang loudly in my head.
" (Y/N).....can i....ask you something??"
" Sure, go ahead."
" W-Well...I must ask....what do you think of me??"
She looked at me for a moment.
" What....do you mean?"
" What do you think of me?"
" Alastor. You're a good man and someone who means a lot to me. You're important to me and despite only knowing them for a day, gave me a family. This is the happiest me and my father have been for years. And I thank you for that."
I bit my lower lip and looked down, unable to meet the gaze of her beautiful eyes.
" (Y/N), forgive me if I am being to brash but.....with your permission, I'd like to do something."
" Okay??" She said, raising an eyebrow.
" Please, close your eyes."
She paused for a moment then closed her eyes. Gently, I cupped her cheeks and kissed her. She went tense for a moment before relaxing again. She returned my kiss after a moment and wrapped her arms around my neck. She tasted like blueberries in summertime and her lips were as soft as silk. Pulling her closer, I wrapped one arm around her waist and put one hand behind her head. A few moments passed before we pulled away. Her face was red and she stared up at me.
" (Y/N), I love you. With all my heart and soul."
She blushed darkly and smiled at me.
" I love you too."
I smiled and the two of us laid down for the night. Holding onto her, she fell asleep with no problem. I couldn't sleep.

I need to find away to get her out of this mess.
