Enjoy!

Alastor and Violet came through the door laughing catching everyone's attention. They were surprised to see Violet walking on her two feet and laughing with Alastor.

"No way, Violet, you look great"

Charlie said walking up to the couple. Violet looked to Alastor for permission as he simply nodded as he released his hold on her waist.

"Do you like it? Alastor bought it for me"

Violet said giving her new dress a twirl.

"Well I never thought I would see this side of you"

Vaggie said also walking up to the couple.

"So what change?"

Vaggie asked narrowing her eyes at Alastor.

"Just a mutual understanding my dear, no need to worry your pretty head about it"

Alastor said walking towards the Lobby. From the bar, Angel was watching the interaction and couldn't help but tilt his head at the sudden change in Violet.

"Something's not right about her"

He said quietly to Husker who was also confused by Violet's new change of attitude.

"She changed but not for the better"

Husk said in slight concern.

I'm not above a love to cash in
Another lover underneath those flashin' lights
Another one of those ruthless nights
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I shoulda guessed that this would happen
I shoulda known it when I looked in your red, hot eyes
Spewin' all your red, hot lies
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Violet then made her way to Alastor who was about to head up the stairs.

"Master, would you like for me to get you a drink from the bar?"

"No I'm fine dear but go ahead and get something for yourself"

He said with a smile. Violet smiled back with a bow before heading to the bar. Angel and Husk put on a fake smile as Violet walked over to them.

"Hey Doll, how you been?"

Angel asked. Violet tilt her head.

"Fine, thank you"

She said quietly as she waited for Huskier to get her a drink but he was taking his time.

"How about you sit down and chat with us"

Husk said

"No thank you"

She said causing Angel to laugh out loud.

"He has you good, doesn't he?"

He asked

"I don't know what you're talking about about"

Violet said.

What's the worst part of this hell?
I can only blame myself

"Look, you can fool yourself but you can't fool me, toots"

He said causing Violet to get quiet.

"Your mind isn't thinking straight anymore..."

Angel said but was cut off by Violet.

"Listen, I have no one else to blame but myself. I made it difficult for him not the other way around. Now please my drink"

She said wanting to get away from the bar and quickly head upstairs where she knows her Master was waiting for her.

'Cause I know you're poison
You're feedin' me poison
Addicted to this feelin', I can't help but swallow
Up your poison
I made my choice and
Every night I'm livin' like there's no tomorrow

Husk let out a sigh in defeat as he handed her the bottle of beer.

"Thank you"

She replied quietly before running off with the beer in hand. Angel and Husk sadly watched her leave.

"She's brainwashed"

Husk said.

"Who's brainwashed?"

Said a voice. Angel and Husk turn to see Vaggie and Charlie walking up to them.

"It Violet"

"Violet? But she looks happy, I think everything is going great now"

Charlie said. Angel laughs.

"She has everyone fooled but she's far from okay"

"What do you think it is?"

Vaggie asked in concern.

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Any way you want me, baby
That's the way you got me, I'll be yours
My story's gonna end with me dead from your poison

Angel shrugged as he thought for a moment.

"Probably Stockholm syndrome"

He said.

"A what now?"

Charlie asked.

"It's a coping mechanism to a captive or abusive situation. People develop positive feelings toward their captors or abusers over time"

Vaggie said sadly.

"And you think Violet has that?"

Charlie asked.

"It's the only thing that fits"

Angel said.

"What can we do to help her?"

Charlie asked.

"Try talking to her"

Husk answered as he cleaned the counter top.

I got so good at bein' untrue
I got so good at tellin' you what you wanna hear
I disassociate, disappear
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Upstairs in Alastor's room. Alastor and Violet found themselves in the bed in a heavy make out session. Violet soon pulled away so she could catch her breath, Alastor looked at her with a smile as he grabbed her chin and forced his lips upon hers again. Violet moaned into the kiss as Alastor's tongue began to explore her inside. After a while, the couple pulled away.

"I'm glad you see things my way, my dear"

Alastor said lovingly.

"I don't know what I was thinking before Master, it was you who I needed all along"

She replied causing Alastor to smile at her confession.

So far beyond difficult to resist another gulp

Alastor then roughly pushed Violet flat on the bed as he crawled on top of her.

"I love you"

He said.

'Liar'

She thought as she looked into his red eyes.

"I love you too"

She said with a smile. Alastor then leaned down to capture her lips into another kiss.

Yeah, I know it's poison
You're feedin' me poison
I'm chokin' from the taste and I can't help but swallow
Up your poison
I made my choice and
Every night I'm wasted like there's no tomorrow

'I know what Angel and the others might be thinking but they are wrong. This is the choice that I made and I going to live the way I want'

Violet thought as Alastor pulled away from the kiss.

"Are you distracted my dear?"

He asked. Violet smiled as she shook her head.

"Of course not Master"

"Are you lying?"

He asked.

"Never"

She said.

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Any way you want me, baby
That's the way you got me, I'll be yours
My story's gonna end with me dead from your poison

"Good"

He said as he trailed his kisses down her neck. Violet bit her bottom lip as a moan tried to escape her lips.

"Oh Master~"

Violet moaned as Alastor began to unbutton the top of her dress before laying kisses on her breast. Alastor then pulled away with a smile.

Poison, I'm drownin' in poison
I'm fillin' up my glass but it's always hollow
Full of poison, I'm sick of the poison
Wish I had something to live for tomorrow

"How about we go out tonight?"

He asked.

"I would love to Master"

She said.

"Good"

He said as he climbed off her. Violet sat up as she swung her legs over the edge as she reached down for her liquor bottle.
