The Doe Demon

Chapter 9: Redem Or Sin

It was finally over, the Extermination was done for another three hundred and sixty-five days, and when Alastor woke up, Ruvine was already awake and talking to one of her servants.

"Send flowers to the burial grounds, now that I know how bad that day can be, make sure they know someone cares." She growled but calmed and faced Alastor as she smiled at him gently.

"Morning my deer, how does your wound feel today?" He commented quietly, his eyes roaming over her naked form, landing on the massive bandaging.

"Sore, and definitely still painful, how do you fare today my love?" She cooed, slowly nuzzling into his hold as he sighed quietly, muttering that he fares better.

They took a few to relax before starting their day and getting ready, while Alastor was done dressing first, Ruvine was being very careful of her wound. When Alastor helped her with a very light tank top and brushing out her fur on her head, they made their way for the front door as she sighed.

"So, what's on the agenda today? Hopefully Charlie plans to wait on that event she had planned." Ruvine muttered quietly, her good arm looped with Alastor who hummed quietly.

"Knowing her, she will once she sees your injury, she may love singing and dancing, but she prefers everyone to be happy." He chuckled, soon stopping them a few feet away from the hotel as they spotted Nifty out front.

Nifty gasped and smiled as she waved happily before zipping inside as Charlie rushed out and over, not trying to hug them as she sees the massive bandage on Ruvine. She does happily explain the break from the event until the clean-up and slight recovery is done with. They enter the hotel as Angel rushes over as he stops to see how weak she looks and keeps his distance as Alastor helps her sit down. Once settled, he leaves to go attend his duties while Angel gently settles nearby her, his pig Nugget gently being settled in her lap.

"I'm so relieved you're alive and safe Ru! I was so worried 'bout ya!" Angel whined but smiled as Nugget nuzzled into her hands as she pets him.

"I know... I was worried about all of you as well... how is Spotty?" She questioned quietly, the hellhound mix had returned with her to the hotel before she left for her home again with Val and Vox.

That question made Angel frown as he gently held up a small collar, the tag read Spotty, and was cut near the back of it. He also held up a photo of the pup before the Extermination had happened, he was on his hind legs and propped up against Charlie with his tongue hanging out.

"When the angels started attacking people outside of the hotel... Spotty got mad cause one almost looked like ya... so he 'ad broken out and started ta fight... but didn't survive." He sniffled quietly as Ruvine sobbed and gently took his collar and photo, hugging them as she whimpered.

After Angel gently hugged her and slightly comforted her, he left her to mourn her pet as he took Nugget back to his room. While some passed by her, she gently set the objects down before gently standing and heading out front, looking at her plants as she sighed and sat before them. She gasped when someone tapped her shoulder as she turned and blinked in confusion, the person seemed new to hell, but made the fur on Ruvine's neck stand on end.

"Hello... do you need something?" She commented quietly, her eyes roaming over them as she tilts her head gently.

"I was wondering about this hotel; I could've sworn it was supposed to be called the Happy Hotel?" They asked in confusion, and while Ruvine saw them tilt their own head, a weird mask hid their face from her as she wiggled her nose slightly.
