Trust

Chapter 15

LUCIFER POV

I quickly sat up from my bed, panting. I just woke up from a horrible nightmare. I grabbed my hair and tried to collect my thoughts. I quickly got up from the bed as tears came from my eyes. The nightmare seemed so real!

Alastor was actually killed by Lilith. I opened my door and quickly ran to Alastor room. I wiped the tears from my eyes, but they came down faster than I could wipe them away. I gingerly knocked down his door as I started to hyperventilate.

"Yes?" He asked. I tried my best not to yell, but I couldn't help it. "Alastor!" I yelled. "I need you." The door opened faster than I could finish the sentence.

He grabbed my collar and closed the door behind me. He quickly hugged me and we both sank to the floor. "Shh," he said calmly. "it's alright." I began to sob uncontrollably in his arms.

"What happened?" He asked, carrying me into the bed. "I just had a nightmare," I stuttered through tears. I started to explain it and Alastor hugged me tighter. "You know I would never leave you like that," he comforted. I snuggled into him while we lay on the bed.

Suddenly, the door slammed open and Alastor hid me under the covers. I turned into a snake so I wouldn't be seen. "Where's dad?" Charlie asked. I tried my best to stay still. "I heard him yelling."
Sweat started to form on my face and I started to panic and cry more.

"He just left," Alastor said. "We were just having some fun." I blushed as Alastor said that. Charlie made a noise like she cringed and the door immediately closed. I quickly turned back into my human form as tears fell down my face. Alastor sighed and gestured for me to lay down.

"You can sleep in here tonight." He said. I nodded and buried my face under the covers. I did sleep but, it was very light. Luckily I didn't have anymore nightmares.

ALASTOR'S POV

I set breakfast on the table and quickly went to go check on Lucifer in the common room. Nobody was awake yet, so I had time to do whatever I wanted. I walked up to Lucifer as he finished buttoning his coat. "Another meeting?" I asked.

Lucifer jumped and rolled his eyes when he saw it was me. I chuckled and grinned wider. "Why are you always scaring me asshole?" He scolded. I wrapped my arm around him and held him closer.

"You just get scared easily," I teased. He sighed and kissed me on the cheek. "You're still an asshole," he grumbled. I kissed him back, now holding both sides of his waist. "Your asshole," I corrected.

Lucifer laughed and made his cane appear before walking towards the door. "Love you," he said. "I won't be gone for long." I nodded and smiled. "Love you too darling."

Lucifer shut the door and I sighed. "What the fuck did I just watch?" I heard someone behind me say. I jumped and slowly turned around. I mentally sighed with relief when I realized it was just Vaggie.

"You and Charlie are much worse," I pointed out, walking back into the kitchen. Vaggie sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "I hate that you are right!" I smiled and went to the kitchen to clean the dirty dishes i made.

"Good morning!" Charlie yelled from up the stairs. My ears slowly started to lay flat against my head as she laughed while running down the stairs. "Why are you so lively?" I asked.

Charlie jumped up and down with excitement as my ears started to lay fully against my head. Vaggie ran to the kitchen and laughed slightly while trying to calm Charlie down. I shook my head with disapproval. She  is way too loud this morning.

"We just got another two guests!" She yelled. I tried to make my smile seem genuine, but really now I have to deal with more assholes.

"They are coming this evening, so everything has to be perfect!" She said quickly. Charlie began listing things they had to do and talking about the future of the hotel. I don't have enough energy for her right now though.

"What the fuck is all that yelling?!" Velvet grumbled while walking down the stairs. Charlie gave her a sheepish smile and began to apologize while also shaking so hard, Vaggie had to keep her from running away.

Velvet rolled her eyes and grabbed a plate of breakfast. She walked out of the kitchen to eat in the dinning room, not saying anything else. "NIFTY!" I yell. She giggled while running up to me quickly. "Yes?" She asked eagerly. "I need you to do a quick clean of all the rooms!"

She nodded and ran somewhere else to do the task she was told. Charlie started mumbling uncontrollably about what to do to prepare. I whistled really high pitched as she continued mumbling about some random nonsense.

Everyone looked at me with shock as Husk slowly walked into the kitchen, holding his ear in pain. "What?!" He complained. "Can you put away the liquor that is suppose to come today?" I asked. He nodded and sighed.

"Charlie," I continued, walking towards her. I snapped my fingers and some shadows appeared. "They will listen to whatever you order," I explained. "I need to go in town for the better decorations than this," I said, pointing to a banner with poorly painted letters on it.

She nodded quickly and started mumbling orders to the shadows. I snapped my finger to make my cane appear and quickly walked out the door. Hopefully this goes well.
