The Gamble (Alastor x Reader)

Chapter 5

Y/N POV

"So," the princess started, "we know Niffty and Husker, but we didn't quite catch who you were." She gave me a big smile, it was so infectious I couldn't help but return it.

"My name is Y/N, I'm actually Husker's daughter." I said looking towards my dad, who was sitting behind the bar with booze in his hand, gulping away. My smile fell a bit at the sight. Sensing my shift in moods, the princess took me into a very tight hug. "U-uhm princess... I can't- I can't breathe." She hurriedly let me go with her hands resting on my shoulders.

"Please call me Charlie!" She pointed over to the girl with long white hair and light purple skin, "That's Vaggie, my beautiful girlfriend and business partner. And-" she was bumped to the side, taking her place was the very tall spider demon I saw tackle who I now knew was Vaggie.

"And I am the famous and radiant Angel Dust! But I'll let ya call me Angel or Ang, whateva ya want beautiful." I couldn't help but blush at his compliment, very rarely was I called beautiful by someone who wasn't incredibly drunk. "You really the daughter 'a that handsome man?" He looked at dad and gave him a flirtatious look with a wave.

"Well I would hope so, or I've been calling the wrong person my papa." I laughed. Charlie fixed her red suit and regained composure then looked to me.

"Well, Y/N, you and your father are going to be staying at the hotel! Well, at least your father is because he works here now. Assuming you'll want to stay here as well," she reached into her pocket and pulled out a key with a tag for a room number. "I'll let you get settled into your room! Angel could you show her please?" Angel shrugged and put an arm around my shoulder, leading me to the elevator.

I showed him the number on my key and his eyes lit up. "Looks like you've got the room a few doors down from me! We could have a lotta fun together babes. Spa nights, movie nights, the whole girl sleepover experience!" I laughed at his excitement, to which he seemed relieved by and joined in.

The elevator doors opened and he led me down the hall, stopping in front of room 424. It had neon pink lights in the shape of a spider web on it. "This is my room, just stop by if ya eva need someone to talk to. Ya might wanna knock before ya come bargin' in though." He ruffled the hair between my ears and gave me a wink then lead me a couple of doors down to room 428. "Here's your room pretty kitty."

I put the key in and opened the door, it was a bit dusty, but I was sure Niffty would get to it. It was around the size of my room at home. The walls were red wallpaper, the floor black carpet. In the middle of the room there was a king sized canopy bed with red silk bedding and black shear curtains. There was a black desk on the left I could use to put my makeup, a small closet was next to a closed door which I assumed to be the bathroom, and there was a black dresser in the corner of the room. Anything else was a couple of broken lamps and some dead bugs.

Right as I was about to close the door, Niffty's pink flash was right in front of me pushing the door open again. "Alastor said food is ready! You two go down and eat and I'll work in here. There's no way I could eat with this much work to do." I ruffled her pink hair and nodded, knowing us was better to not mess with Niffty while she was in her cleaning fits. Angel and I turned around and walked back to the elevator then he led the way to the dining area.

Everyone was sat at the table already, waiting for Alastor to bring in the jambalaya. I took a seat next to my dad and put a hand on his shoulder, causing him to look at me. He gave me a short nod then turned back to fidgeting with his bottle of booze. I removed my hand and sighed, my ears pinned flat to my head. "I hope you're all hungry! This was my dear mother's recipe! If you don't enjoy it there is definitely something you should get checked!"

After dinner was eaten, I left for my room. Niffty had done an excellent job cleaning my room and I made sure to thank her for getting it done so quickly. I was laying face-down on my bed lost in my head. Forcefully pulled from doing so from the sound of a knock on my door. I hoisted myself off the bed and walked to the door, opening it there was a face I hadn't expected to see.
