Y/N POV

After a few more kisses, Alastor finally released me. I didn't want to leave his arms, but I needed to talk to someone about this. I shifted into my bedroom and collapsed on the bed. 

I called Angel and it went straight to the answering machine. I was a little confused because he wouldn't skip it, especially when I told him to call me at the hotel. At that moment, he called back and I hurried to pick up the phone. 

"Toots, I literally just had to fucking lie to Lucifer to call you back. THE Lucifer. If I get killed I'm coming back to haunt you."

"Ooooo, I might have forgotten about him coming to the hotel."

"How did you forget, you were just here like an hour ago."

"Well...something came up." I hurried and formed a bubble around me. I didn't want curious ears, like Nifty, peeking in on my conversation. "Al likes me."

He laughed through the phone. "I know that, so does everyone else. Especially after he stayed with you 'till you woke up."

"No, that's not all of it. I kissed him. Multiple times now, actually." There was silence on the other side of the phone. I cringed at the fullness of it. I continued, "I don't know how it happened. It just kind of happened naturally. Apparently, he has felt this way for a long time."

I put a hand to my head. He finally responded, "Is he a good kisser?"

"Angel!"

"What? I'm just curious?"

I paused, "Yeah...he's really good."

"I fucking knew it."

I laughed at his exclamation. Of course, Angel would wonder about that. "Anyways, what is happening with Lucifer right now?" I sat up on the bed, grimacing at the sore pain in my abdomen. 

"He's basically freaking out about you because you and Al took down Valentino. He knows you are getting more powerful."

"I'm glad I freak him out. But ruling Hell Ange? That doesn't sound much like me."

"Whaddaya mean?! Have you seen yourself while taking over territory? It totally sounds like you!"

 "Thanks, Angel." I decided I wouldn't tell him about the whole mind thing, maybe Al and I could use it to our advantage. "Anyways, make sure to finish telling me about the whole Lucifer situation when he leaves okay? I want to hear all about it."

He agreed and we both said our goodbyes. I released the bubble from around me and saw Nifty peaking around the door. I knew it had been smart to create one. "Hey Nifty, what's up?" 

She looked a little timid but came to sit on the bed. "Do you like Al?" I was a little surprised by her outright question. 

"W-what?"

"Well, it's just that I saw you two kissing. Twice now. So, do you like him?"

I didn't really know how to respond to her. Mostly because she would probably talk to Al about it later. But I think I really did like him. The way he looked at me filled me with butterflies. I even had them just thinking about it. 

I looked down at her and smiled. "I guess I do." 

Then his voice entered my head. He sounded sort of frantic. "My dear, it seems like Lucifer has summoned me to his palace..."

The timing of his thought surprised me, but I was more worried about having Lucifer summon him. "Did you accept it? Please tell me you didn't."

"I can't say no. He is the ruler of Hell."

"Wait let me come downstairs before you leave."

"I've already left. He said it was urgent and I didn't want to make him suspicious of anything. I will tell you as things happen."

"Okay. Be safe."

I assumed he had gone into the palace, so I got up and paced around. I was a little nervous, so I decided to distract myself. I went down into the study with Nifty at my heels.

Once we entered, she immediately grabbed a book of the shelf and sat down in a small chair by the fire.The book had a little dress design on the back. "Oh my gosh! I love your chair. It's perfect for you!"

She giggled. "Well, it is my chair. Al made it for me!" 

I raised an eyebrow but smiled at her as she settled into her book. I didn't think Al would've made her a chair, but he must really care about her. I walked over to the shelves and looked through the books. One caught my eye, it talked about dark magic and fairy tales. I picked it up and walked over to the big armchair. 

I opened up the first page, but Alasotr's voice popped into my mind. "I wish you could see the look on his face right now. He seems terrified of you, but he is trying to cover it up."

I smiled at the thought of it. "Show me. It sounds fun." An image popped into my mind of a shorter man in a white top hat. He reminded me a lot of Charlie, with his blonde hair, but there were things she did not share with him. His smile spread across his face, like Alastor's, and his eyes were heavy lidded.

I could hear him talking about me, "The Dark Angel." I could tell he was a little angry at Al for working with me. 

"Is he going to hurt you? Because you worked with me to take down Valentino?"

"I'm not sure yet. He won't hurt me because he know we works together. If he did, then he thinks you would come after him faster."

"What is he specifically talking about?"

His voice sounded like it was concealing a laugh. "He's trying to give me anything I want. He wants me to be on his side."

I laughed inwardly and continued back to the book, reading up on certain spells.

Alastor's POV

Lucifer looked down at me from his desk. It was at an elevate in the point, making him much taller than me. A power move that I didn't appreciate much. My slight anger was calmed when I heard y/n's voice laugh in the back of my mind. 

"Alastor, this Dark Angel is going to destroy Hell. She has already killed one of the biggest players of the industry of Hell. And manipulated you into helping her. Do you want that?" His voice dripped with poison charisma. 

I laughed at his proposal, "I would know if someone tries to manipulate me." I paused, hoping he had understood my loaded response. "You don't know if she will destroy Hell or not, just that she will take over. The prophecy states that."

"Aren't you worried about her double crossing you?"

"I know that she won't." He was trying hard not to show any weaknesses, but they were starting to fall through the cracks of his faltering smile.

"Then do you, by any chance, know where she is? I want to nip this problem in the bud as soon as possible."

I thought to y/n, "He wants to kill you, and he keeps talking about it. It's starting to get on my nerves."

Her sweet voice answered back to me, "Keep your cool. Everyone not on our side wants to do the same. I wouldn't expect less from the literal RULER of Hell."

I continued the conversation, not missing a beat. "I do not, in fact, have a clue. I was summoned, just like I was here, for the fight last night. Then she disappeared without a trace." I smiled up at him. 

He could probably knew I was lying, but I had the Dark Angel on my side. I never let anyone know my true intentions. It shows weakness, like Lucifer is doing now.

He looked down at me, his hands folded under chin. "Do think about the consequences Alastor."

I bowed to him, trying to keep up my appearances, "Yes, your highness." There was no real meaning behind it. He just needed just the right amount of respect. He would never be my royalty, he hasn't been since I met y/n.

"One more thing before you leave," I turned around towards him. "Do not involve my little Charlie in any of this. I know you got involved with that Hotel, but this should be separated problems."

"Of course."

 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

After walking out of the palace, I shifted back to the house an thought to y/n. "I'm back."

"We are in the study. I'm surprised he didn't keep you for very long."

I walked into the study and heard some laughing. I opened the door and found Nifty floating in the air, and y/n going to catch her as she dropped. Y/n caught her and turned around towards me with a smile on her face. "I was practicing."

Nifty got out of her hands. "Hi Al!"

I smiled at the two of them and looked down at Nifty. "And what were you doing before you floated into the air?" I laughed at the excited smile on Nifty's face. 

"I was learning some new dress patterns. Speaking of which, I want to go start on the ones I was reading about!" She hurriedly ran out of the room. 

Y/n laughed at her abrupt leave, "She really is just constantly go, go, go."

"She certainly is."

Y/n paused and looked at me. Her voice spoke in my mind. "Is it okay to talk about Lucifer stuff with Nifty around? I've seen that she likes to listen in on conversations." 

I chuckled, "She does like to listen in, but she won't say anything."

She let out a breathe and then asked, "What should we do about Lucifer then? I know that right now, he is much more powerful than me, but what if he does start sending people our way?"

"You should take out the other overlords and head up the chain. It will be quite annoying to take out Lucifer and then have to deal with all the other overlords trying to take over Hell."

She sat back down into the armchair. "That's good, I didn't want to be the ruler of Hell just yet." She flipped through a book in her hands, "Come look what I found."

I stepped behind the chair and looked over her shoulder. The page she was displaying had a siren and a block of text underneath. "I think I could try to control people with my voice." I realized she had the book full of Dark magic and fairytales that I had been looking at. 

"I was reading this book earlier, and I thought the same thing. Actually, I think that if you got good enough with your powers, then you wouldn't even need to sing anymore. You could try to control things with just your speaking voice."

She turned her head and looked up at me, her white hair swinging around her shoulders in the process. Her brows were furrowed. "I know we just talked about this, but I'm worried that Lucifer is now getting involved in this."

Something struck my core when I saw the nervous look on her face. I walked around to the front of the chair and sat down on the small table in front of it. "Everything will be okay, y/n. There's no need to worry." Her brows were still furrowed with nervousness.  

I laid a hand on her cheek "I promise, he will not do anything as of right now. He's afraid now that he's seen what you can do." 

----------------------------------------------------

Wow, I cannot believe we have hit 2k reads. That is crazy!

I did want to mention that whenever the text is italicized like this, and the conversation is between Al and y/n, then they are speaking through their minds. 

That's all for now! Thank you! :)
