๑۞๑ ❀3rd Person POV❀ ๑۞๑

"You still remember my name...?"

The male asked the deer demon in front of him, while tilting his head to the side, staring right at her with a blank expression, but some curiosity mixed in his blank stare.

"You really thought I would forget your name, already?" Melinoe laughed, "How cruel of you to think that. What makes you think I could forget your name or.... even you at all?" A smile appears on her face while tilting her head.

She had a point, Voxer thought to himself. He was rather surprised to hear someone would actually remember his name let alone remember who he was. He saw no point in someone even showing an ounce of anything to him at all.

"Hey...." Melinoe began, "You really think I forgot you, huh?" She asked, raising a brow, "Well, don't worry about it! I would never forget you, anyways what brings you here? Did that bastard send you here?"

Voxer remained for a moment before nodding. Vox did send him to get any info to would be a use to him, but he didn't come for that. He came to see her, he wanted to know more about her. Something drawing him to her, but what could it be?

Melinoe sighed before stepping closer to him, "You wanted to see me too, right?" She asked, while taking in account that he wasn't wearing his tux rather dressed looking like the victorien era, but would put aside that for now.

Voxer remained silent again, he wasn't well with talking with others, but some how was able to speak to her and only her. He didn't want to admit he really came to see her, but pulled from his jacket a fold piece of paper telling her what Vox was trying to do.

Melinoe took the note and read it over, seeing that Vox has gotten some information about something about her mother, and how they didn't just fall for each other that easily, but events had taken place.

"Engaged?" Melinoe questioned looking over at Voxer, "They were engaged to be married.... but that's not they told me..." sadden to see everything written down on this piece of paper. "Is this all so far...?"

Voxer only nodded in response before turning away, he was only giving her information he knew so far. He was going to leave, but he felt her tug at his jacket, and turned back to her, raising a brow.

"You don't have to leave so soon... you know?" Melinoe says softy, "I wouldn't mind spending some time with you before my dad starts going over protective and trying to ask for me to go back into the hotel. Well... what I mean is I want to spend time with you too..."

Hearing this was all he needed to hear and agreeing to spend time with her. He recalled she did call him her friend, but what is true or just a lie to use him just to protect herself and her family. All these doubts, but she only showed kindness to something he never received from his parents.

"I know it's been a few days since we saw each other.... but how is it? You know in hell and all?" Melinoe asked, wanting to know what it's been like him for now.

"Horrid...." he finally spoke after being quiet for so long now. "I've been trying to rid myself... of this place." Voxer admitted to her that he has been trying to get rid of himself by taking his own life, "Yet... I realized that being a phoenix demon means.... immortality."

Melinoe was speechless to hear this all. Why would he be trying to take his life in first place? Had he been wanting to that do this in the first place? One thing came to her mind about the 'immortality' part. "What do you mean by immortality? Are you saying that..."

Voxer nodded, "Just like the actually damn phoenix it's self.... only to be reborn back in to this body again, again.... and again..." All this boy wanted was to get out of everything involved the idiotic plans, but nothing seems to be working as of now.

"You could always leave..." Melinoe says, "you don't have to be his pawn anymore. You could come here... to have a chance to be rehabilitated." Offering him a chance to leave Vox for good and come to hotel instead to be rehabilitated.

Voxer shook his head, "I can't..." he muttered under his breath before turning away from her, "I must go now before..." stopping mid sentence, he started to walk away before he felt her grab his hand. A faint blush appeared on his face as he turned back to look at her.

"Promise me... we will meet each other again?" Melinoe said, looking down, making sure not to make eye contact with him as he looked down at her. "It's fine if you don't want to... I understand." Her hand let go of his, but she felt him grab her hand this time.

"I.... I would lov- like to see you again...." he hesitates to say, "Once a week we'll see each other again... if- if... you're fine with it..." She looked at him with a genuine smile on her face. He saw it all, how happy she was to hear about this, and he wouldn't admit it, but he too felt some once of happiness.

After that he left leaving Melinoe smiling knowing she would see him again in a week, but her smile faded when she looked back at the note in her hand. She wanted to know if this was true or not.

Walking right back inside the hotel to see her mom and dad speaking to each other about something. So she waited patiently until they were done talking all while keeping the note hidden behind her. It lasted about two minutes until she stood in front of them.

"Mom... dad... I would like to speak to you both in private about something I have recently learned." (Y/N) gave a questionable look at her daughter before looking over at Alastor, who kept his smile while raising a brow.

"Of course, sweetheart!" Alastor replied before they head to his office, and close the door behind so nobody would interrupt their private conversation. "What is it you would like to tell us, my dear Melinoe?" Alastor was the first to speak before Melinoe set the note down in front of them on his desk.

(Y/N) picked up the note before her eyes widen, and turning to see Alastor was reading everything it said as well, but his smile still plastered on his smile. "Melinoe where did you get this from?" (Y/N) first asked giving the note to Alastor so he could have a better look at it.

"Tell me the truth.... mom, and dad... is this something that is made up or truth you both have kept from me?"
