                 Being as weak as he was, Alastor wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight as he was dragged towards the Palace, taken down to the Dungeon where he was chained to a cell and left to bleed as his wounds took time to heal.  Demons could die within Hell but stronger ones overcame their wounds, it just took time, and as Lucifer stood before his new toy, he couldn't help but become giddy with excitement.

"It's going to be a real treat having you here, I must admit after three long years and then you snuck out of our deal at the last second.  It gives me shivers every time,"  Alastor was struggling to keep his head up, he could hear the other and couldn't help but think about the three years he did spend with the Devil.  Being so power-hungry as he had been when facing Lucifer got him in this mess now, it took a few days before he felt better and was able to sit up straight.  His powers allowed him to fix himself up, his appearance returning to the way it was before and while he straightened himself up, one of his ears flickered at the sound of someone small walking around.  Lifting his head to look around before he saw something blonde and white around the corner, she was a little thing with rosy cheeks and before long, a small girl was standing at his cell looking in to see the Demon dressed in red.  It was curious to see such a being,

"Daddy's up to no good again, how are you doing Mister?"  Alastor cleared his throat before standing up to pull at his chains,

"Hello there, Sweetheart, I'm Alastor.  And who might you be?"  The little girl smiled at the red man, his smile was so endearing that she couldn't help but feel somewhat safe, she reached for the Cell door to open it before entering.

"I'm Charlie, nice to meet you Alastor.  Would you like to play with me?"  The Radio Demon chuckled while wiggling his wrists in front of her,

"Sure, I wouldn't mind, but if you could get these off of me, then we can play a little game of tag."  Charlie looked around for a moment, listening it seemed,

"Yes, but only for a little, Daddy gets mad when I let his prisoners go.  Says they are bad and need to be in time out, but you seem like a nice Deer man."  She clapped her hands allowing her to use her magic to undo the cuffs, now that he was free, Alastor followed the little girl out but they went a different way instead of up the stairs where they had come down the first time.  A secret passage opened to allow the two out into a garden,

"So you wanna play tag?"  Charlie turned to look up at the other,

"In a moment, darling, let me ask this.  Who are you to the Devil and where am I?"  The little girl twirled around to smile proudly,

"I'm Charlotte Magne, the daughter of Lucifer and Lilith Magne.  This is our home, the Palace within Hell.  You're a Sinner, you were once mortal and now you're a Demon.  You look really nice, Mr. Alastor,"  He smiled down at the little girl, looking around at the garden to admire such a sight even within the red realm he was in, things were seen differently when he wasn't losing his mind to power.  Glancing down at the little girl as she was twirling around in her dress, the Devil's daughter seemed so pure and innocent that he didn't believe it at first but she did have the features of him.

"Charlotte!  Where are you my sweet little apple-" Lucifer came down the back porch to spot the two, he tensed for a moment to see his little girl along with the one being he didn't want to see and held a smile even though he wasn't happy in the slightest.

"Charlotte, what did we say about freeing Daddy's toys?"  The little girl started towards her Father,

"Daddy, we were just about to play-"

"Not so fast, my dear!"  Alastor grabbed hold of the little girl by the back of her dress, lifting her in the air where she yelped and kicked her legs in the air, Lucifer was walking down the steps to stand before the two before freezing on the spot.
