Soulmates. Everyone had them, just not Angel nor Alastor or so it seemed....They lived both their lives waiting to meet that supposed soulmate, but the time never came. Now long past the proper time to meet your soulmate both have given up hope of e...
All three demons were on their feet, tense at the site of Hell's king.
Charlie seemed the tensest. "Father were's Alastor!" She demanded her gaze hard.
Lucifer only laughed, "are you still angry about that? Sweetheart I already told you, you can't go soft for these fools. There just maggots, one day you'll be ruling over them too. What then? Will you be soft for them too?" He laughed again. "You'll kill yourself that way."
Her face matched the color of her dress, body trembling. "I don't care! What you did to him is wrong!"
The man's chin raised, eyes growing dark as he took a step closer. Charlie stood her ground. "You will learn, one way or another that being strong requires sacrifice." Lucifer snapped his fingers.
A portal behind opened, and something crawled out.
It was lanky, tattered red clothing with splotches of black and red. Skin grey, a hallow expression, and long sharp antlers. No smile graced its face, only a long empty frown as the dials in its eyes spun incredibly fast almost out of control.
Charlie gasped horror lacing her face as Husk and Rosie stared with the same expression.
The creature stood perfectly straight, it's movements almost mechanical a low buzzing surrounded it. A shell of its former self.
"What did you do..." Charlie's voice trembled.
"Oh come now Charlie you've seen this a thousand times over, don't look so surprised. It's time you grow up." Lucifer turned towards the wendigo that awaited its orders. "Destroy the place."
"Father no!"
"Silence Charolette." He growled, ignoring her pleas.
The wendigo only raised a hand, thumb digging into its palm as the blood dripped down its wrist. Its movements were suddenly restrained by what appeared to be thorned vines.
Its head snapped in the direction of Rosie who frowned in disapproval as her hand raised. "Alastor please snap out of it. This isn't you. You're so much stronger than this! Do not let yourself be controlled!"
"Stop being such a pansy-ass and wake the fuck up!" Husk agreed.
Lucifer only laughed, giving his hand a little wave.
The wendigo with a tilt and crack of its neck ripped the vines off effortlessly. Within seconds black inky tentacles trapped Rosie's limbs and threw Husk against a wall.
"Alastor stop!" Rosie yelled as the tentacle threatened to tear her limbs off, Charlie tried to intervene by her arm was swiftly grabbed ber her father. Neither Lucifer nor the wendigo budged as it approached her. Its claws aiming for her neck.
No smile graced its face during any of this.
"Please just stop!" Charlie pleaded, breaking away from her father and desperately grabbing the back of the wendigo's coat. Pulling it in attempts to get it to move back. But it would not budge. Instead, its hand raised, claws extending and sharpening. "I SAID STOP!"
The wendigo was thrown across the room abruptly, hitting the floor like a rag doll, and not attempting to get up. Charlie huffed, trembling on the spot unaware that her horns had come out or the color of her eyes.
Lucifer grinned happily. "See? They are below you even the infamous radio demon."
Charlie turned to her father, "stop this! Now, father please!" Her form began reverting back, slowly.
"I honestly don't know what you see in these fools, Charlie." Shaking his head Lucifer snapped his fingers, the wendigo rising similar to a machine. Or a doll on a string. "You'll learn one day...Come along wendigo your services are needed elsewhere."
No more was said as Lucifer took his leave with the wendigo beside.
Once Lucifer was gone Charlie and Rosie were by Husk's side immediately, items were strewn where he landed but Rosie didn't care. "Are you alright Husky?" Rosie asked with obvious concern.
He groaned, sitting up, wings stretching out. "Yeah..I'm fine. Mind slave or not he can still toss a fucker just as hard." He rubbed his head.
"I'm really sorry about all this.." Charlie apologized.
Husk didn't care much for her guilt, instead focusing on something he noticed. "Did you guys see that Alastor shadow wasn't there?"
Rosie stared for a moment, knowing what Husk meant. "You don't think..."
He shrugged. "Alastor's a smart guy, especially under pressure...So it's possible."
The demonette sighed, "let's just hope it knows what it's doing." She turned her attention to the princess. "You really feel this guilty for everything?
"Yes!" Charlie answered immediately.
"Then your gonna help us find a way to get Alastor back in the meantime." Rosie voiced. Charlie didn't seem opposed to it, despite not knowing if there was an alternate solutation. Still, she smiled and nodded her head, not willing to give up like the other demons in the room.
One way or another.
This wasn't over.
