A Charlastor Story

Chapter 8: 𝑻𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝑯𝒆𝒓

Alastor had just overheard Sevanthian and Helsa's plan to marry Charlie and take over Hell. He knew that he had to do something about it, and fast. So he rushed off to his room and pondered about what he could do. He paced around his room trying to come up with any possible solutions. "Come on Alastor think. You have to come up with something, the royal family is in danger. But what can I do? Well I can't tell Lucifer, Sevanthian could lie to him. There has to be something," he thought out loud. Then his shadow appeared along with other shadows.

"I might have a solution master," said his shadow.

"I'm listening," said Alastor.

"You could confess you're love to her," he replied. Alastor groaned.

"Shadow, be serious here. This is not the time to focus on my love life."

"Oh, but I am master. If you confess you're feelings for Charlie, she won't want to marry Sevanthian. Plus I'm pretty sure she wouldn't want to, because she likes you too. It shows!" The other shadows chattered in agreement.

"Look fellas, I don't know," Alastor sighed. The shadows huddled together and came up with an idea. His shadow flew over to him.

"Master, do you love Charlie?" he asked.

"Yes I do, very much," Alastor replied.

"Then you have to tell her how you feel," said his shadow. His shadow then pointed to the other shadows and they started to play slow music. His shadow started to sing.

I know something about love

You've gotta want it bad

If that gals got into your blood

Go out and get her

If you want her to be the very part of you

That makes you want to breathe

Here's the thing to do

"Wait, what are you guys doing?" Alastor asked.

"Hit it!" his shadow yelled to other shadows. They played the song faster. His shadow continued singing.

I know something about love

You gotta show it and

Make her see the moon up above

Reach out and get it

If you want her to

Make your heart sing out

If you want her to

Only think of you

The other shadows join in.

Tell her that you're never gonna leave her

Tell her that you're always gonna love her

Tell her, tell her, tell her, tell her right now

Alastor's shadow extends his hand to Alastor. Alastor reluctantly takes it. They start to dance around the room, much to Alastor's shock.

Ever since the world began

It's been that way for man

And women were created, Oh

To make love their destiny

Then why should true love be

So complicated, Oh

Alastor's shadow twirls Alastor around and makes him fall backwards onto his bed. Alastor sits up and glares at his shadow. His shadow just smiled and continued singing.

I know something about love

You gotta take it and

Show her what the world is made of

One kiss will prove it

"Wait a minute, I never said anything about kiss-" Alastor was cut off by his shadow.

If you want her to be

Always by your side

Take her hand tonight

Swallow your foolish pride and

His shadows started to dance around him.

Tell her that you're never gonna leave her

Tell her that you're always gonna love her

Tell her, tell her, tell her, tell her right now

Tell her that you're never gonna leave her

Tell her that you're always gonna love her

Tell her, tell her, tell her, tell her right now

Ah yeah

Tell her that you're never gonna leave her

Tell her that you're always gonna love her

Tell her, tell her, tell her, tell her right now

Whoo

Tell her that you're never gonna leave her

Tell her that you're always gonna love her

Tell her, tell her, tell her, tell her right now

The song ended. "So master? What do you think?" Alastor's shadow asked.

"You know what? Your right fellas! This could be my only chance to tell Charlie my true feelings! I'll do it, I'll tell her at the dance!" Alastor said confidently. His shadows cheered and applauded. "Thanks for your help," he said to his shadow.

"Anytime master," his shadow said taking a bow before it disappeared along with all the other shadows.

"You're never going to marry Charlie Sevanthian. Not if I have anything to say about it," Alastor thought to himself. He then suddenly heard a knock at his door. He went to open it. He saw that it was Charlie. His face immediately brightened up. "Why hello there my dear. It's wonderful to see you. Well, then again, it always is." Charlie blushed at the compliment.

"Uh, thanks Alastor," she said flattered. "I just thought that I heard music coming from here and came to check it out."

"Oh. Well there's no music here darling," Alastor said.

"Huh, strange. All that aside, are you ready for more dance lessons?"

"I sure am," Alastor said with a smile. They both walk down the hallway together. Alastor's shadows peaked behind his half closed door and smiled as they walked off.
