6
Alastor walks beside Charlie, watching her talk with Lillian as they walk through the town as the demons who are around them run the other direction in fear.
He felt proud as they ran when they saw him. They walk past a few stores, seeing many different things, including the high class coffee shop Charlie saw Alastor at a few days before.
Charlie remembered the jealousy she had in her for the first time in her 125 years when she saw the other overlord talking with Alastor while at the same time petting Lillian's ears. The anger in her went up when she saw them talking happy. She decided to go there to have their date inside.
"Let's go here." Charlie says, walking towards the coffee shop. Alastor smiles like the idea of going to the coffee shop again. When they walk in, the waitress shakes in fear, seeing Alastor walk in.
Alastor leads Charlie and Lillian to a table, and then she comes from behind the counter towards them, still shaking in fear from getting near him. "W-wh-at c-can I get you t-today?" She asks.
"A coffee with no sugar," Alastor says as his eyes glow dark red as he says no. Charlie was about to order when the door opened, revealing a female demon. When she walks in, she looks at the both of them recognizing Alastor instantly.
"It's been a long time, Alastor." the female demon says. Alastor looks at her, recognizing her as Mimzy.
"Hello Mimzy, it's been a while," Alastor says, making sure to keep calm. Charlie tried to help, but Alastor quickly stopped her. "My dear order what you want." Alastor says. Mimzy felt jealous seeing him giving another female attention.
"Now dear Mimzy, I'd love to chat, but as you can see, I already have plans." Alastor says. Mimzy hisses then walks back out but not before seeing Lillian.
Lillian looks at her in confusion "Daddy who is she?" Lillian asks, leaning into him.
"An old friend from when I was alive dear fawn, she won't bother us again." he says, ready to keep that promise anyway he can, whether it be evil or not. Lillian sat back in her chair and looked back at the menu.
Charlie orders for the both of them, then looks back at Alastor, seeing he's not paying attention to her. "So you seem to know that female earlier, was she a friend or something?" Charlie asks.
"Like I said before, she was an old friend of mine, no need to worry." Alastor says. Just then, the waitress comes back with their order and then runs away, still scared. They relaxed for a while and then left to enjoy the rest of their day.
Two weeks later
Lillian was walking around the hotel trying to find something to do while her parents were busy. She looked at the pictures as she hummed a song. Alastor sang to her the night before going to sleep.
She looks at the old pictures, seeing one that caught her eye of some flowers. She felt peace looking at the calm colors. In truth, the only place in Hell that has any plants is at her grandparents' castle.
She keeps looking at it, wondering what kind of flowers they are. She continues walking, looking at each picture, seeing each one look different than the last. She stops again, seeing a picture of her mom and her grandparents smiling.
"That's an old picture when I was 65" Charlie says. Lillian looks at her. "Why's daddy not here?" She asks.
"We weren't together during this time I believe he was a new resident back then." Charlie says, picking Lillian up and rubbing her ears. Lillian looks at her, trying to understand, but she shakes it off. They walk down the hall, looking at the pictures, making small comments now and then.
When they get to the end of the hallway, they walk back to the living room, seeing Alastor reading the newspaper. Lillian runs to him, sitting right next to him, playing with her shadow quietly as Charlie sits in the armchair across from him.
When Alastor noticed Lillian playing, he put his newspaper down and gave her all his attention. He holds her on his lap as his staff plays a song from his time.
Charlie felt happy watching them interact together like a happy family. Alastor runs his claws through Lillian's hair. Charlie puts her head on Alastor's shoulder, feeling happy to be with her two favorite demons.
