What Lovers Do | An Alastor x Reader Lemon Series

Nightmare

I was running through a maze of corridors, unable to find my way out. It was semi-dark, just barely light enough for me to see where I was going. All around me, invisible hands reached out to grab me. They plucked at my clothes, hair and skin. The worst was the laughter. It sounded like the greasy demon who assaulted me in the alley. His cackle echoed all around me. But as quickly as my feet moved, I couldn't run fast enough. 

Suddenly, a claw-like hand reached out and grabbed me by the neck, yanking me back hard. Screaming in terror, I felt myself being pulled back as that awful laugh rang in my ears. I was just about to come face to face with my nightmare when...

I woke up in a panicked sweat. My heart was pounding in my chest. It took me a moment to realize I was in my apartment. 

I threw my blankets off to the side, jumping to my feet. Going over to the kitchen counter, I grabbed my cell phone off its charger and flipped through my contact. Finding the one I wanted, I hit the call button. The person on the other end picked up on the second ring. 

"Alastor?" I asked, "Can you come over?" 

Without skipping a beat, he replied, "I'm on my way."
