Chapter Text
(Marie's POV)
I got off shift and oh was I tired I just wanted to go home and take a nice long bath. When I got home there was a janky looking package on the floor of the living room. A Note on it from my room mate. I pick it up and read it.
"This package was delivered for you, I would not open it, it is shady as fuck." It says and I look at it and wonder what could be inside and if I should open it.
The package looks like it could be right out of the 1930's
I decided to think it over with dinner as I was cooking glancing at it before sighing..
Guess I'm opening it, so I lower the heat down to a simmer as I place the spoon to the side and start opening the package
Inside is a old radio. I blink. Who would send me a radio from that looks like from 1920s. I look over my shoulder to all the antique furniture I have and decor.
"Oh...yeah that'd be why..the only question is who--i wonder if it even works."
I pick it up and take it to my bedroom. I think that would be a nice place for it. I set it on the table and go to put batteries in only for it to turn on without any batteries being in it!
I stopped as I looked at it. Oh no. I'm not dying. Not today. I'm literally in my underwear and a robe. I am not having people find me like this.
(Wait--girl I like cooking naked but you're near a stove be careful)
(Yeah!)
"Hello darling!" It says in Alastor's voice. "You go get dressed and then I will introduce myself though it seems you already know who I am."
I blinked. I couldn't even find the words to speak as I tighten my robe. "okay, well, I'm nuts. I'm nuts. What else is new? The other nurses said you'd eventually have a psychotic break, here it is."
"My Darling Dear, you are not certifiable not in the least, I am very real, do you wish for me to prove it to you?" He asks from the radio and my eyes twitched from the stress of this.
"you're not. This is just the result of two consecutive 10 and 12 hour shifts and living off of energy drinks to get me through the day." I said as I shut my eyes tightly as I sank to the floor when a clawed hand tapped my head as I freeze, not even daring to look up.
He was not here... he could not be but I could feel his sharp claw under my chin lifting my eyes to look at him. I keep my eyes closed tight.
"Don't make me force those eyes of your open my dear." He says
I was terrified, I refused to open them before I felt the top of his claw on my eyelids. "okay okay!" I opened my eyes up, staring up at the demon.
He was real and he could kill me and harvest my organs right here.
(Alastor's POV)
I looked down at her as she was shaking like a leaf, tears running down her face
I did not like seeing her scared. "My darling belle." I say. "I am not here to hurt you my dear."
She stopped her shaking some what, but she was still crying. "w-what?"
"You see I was testing bounds of my powers, what universe I could reach and this is what I did, and I find you to be my pet project!" I say and throw my arms. "I swear to you though I will not harm you physically as long as you do as I say!"
"......No."
"what?"
"N-No. Cause that's exactly what my ex said and then he'd change what he said so I'd still get beat anyway no matter what I did no matter how hard I tried and I can't go through that again--"
"I'm sorry what?" I asked.
(I mean Alastor that is literally what an abuser says.)
(Alastor in shock XD)
I was in shock and more so I was angry that someone hurt her so angry!
"Who is he, I will skin him alive." I say in a calm voice. "And my dear, I would never raise a hand to you, or anything else, I will even make a deal as long as you keep my radio in your home, no harm in any form will ever come from me and when you do get rid of it after our time I will never bother you again I swear on my mother's grave."
She stopped and looked at me. "O-Okay... B-but no handshakes.... Sorry I-I don't wan-want to loose my soul."
I nodded. "Fair enough, now we should finish dinner cause I am starved!" I say and take her by the arm leading her to the kitchen.
She was still tense but I think she believe that I would not hurt her though she was still scared.
She walked to the stove, continuing to cook as I look from overhead before the door opened.
"Hey, Marie I'm back!" I stopped as did she as she suddenly grabbed me as I looked at her.
A warning to not touch me, however she didn't let go, instead dragging me to the room, shoving me into the closet. "You can get annoyed later. Do not make any noise."
I blink as I look around the closet, pushing the dresses out of my face. I could have told her that I have a human form.. but, other than being touched, this was more interesting.
I grinned widely she was quite entertaining indeed!
