"He got what he deserves."- Alastor

***Alastor's POV***

I was very angry when Shade told me about how Hope died. How dare he kill her. Especially like that. With what I know about Hope she didn't deserve that. I will make him pay for it.

As I teleport to the woods outside the town Hope lived in before she died. The sky was dark and cloudy. The sound of thunder sounded signaling the coming of rain soon.

Not wanting to waste any time I sent my shadows to retrieve some information for me. It was very long before they came back. I shifted into my human form and changed my clothes into more modern clothing. I then walked into town.

It wasn't long before I found the house I was looking for. So, this is where her sister lives. Honestly, it's a nice house. I knock on the door.

Shortly after a woman with dark brown hair and icy blue eyes answered the door. So, this is her sister.

"Yes? Can I help you?" She asks me.

"Maybe. Are you Emily?" I ask her in turn.

"I am. Why?" She asks in a suspicious tone.

Understandable. Trusting stranger in this time seem to be a bad idea. Kind of sad in a way in my opinion.

I tell her I am a radio host from Louisiana and while coming up for vacation a couple months ago I heard the voice of a local female radio host who used to tell stories. I asked if she knew her.

I already know she does. Hope told me a while ago she used to tell stories on the radio once a week as a side job.

"I do. She was my sister." She replies.

"Wonderful. I hope it's not too much trouble to ask why I haven't heard her voice in a while?" I ask acting dumb.

I already know why though. I don't like having to do this, but I highly doubt she would believe the real reason I am here. Even if she did it would most likely hurt her greatly to know her sister is in Hell right now.

"She has been broadcasting for a while is because she passed away." She said in a deeply sad tone.

"Oh. Dear, I'm sorry. My condolences for your loss." I say acting sad.

Just as I asked about how she died the sound of thunder rolled and a small bit of rain started to fall. Emily invited me into the house to keep me from getting soaked by the rain. After entering the house, I met Emily's husband and daughter. Her daughter Joy, kind of remind me of Hope.

Her hair was a slightly lighter brown than her mother. She had heterochromia eyes like Hope. The difference is she had one blue eye and one brown eye. Hope has one blue eye and one green eye.

For a while we talked, and I learned more about Hope and the man who took her life away. He is apparently still on the loose. No one has seen him since he killed Hope.

Little do they know I know where the scum bag is hiding.

After a while the rain stops, and I decided to leave. Just as I reach the door I am stopped by a little girl.

"Wait!" I hear her little voice shout at me.

I turn to face her.

"Yes, darling?" I ask wondering what she needs from me.

She takes my hand and places a painted rock in my hand.

"May you have love and kindness in your life." She says before I could ask why she gave me a rock.

I stare at her in confusion. My confused look prompted her to explain.

"My Aunt used to say that when she gave away her kindness stones. She would find these smooth rocks and paint them. She would then give them to people who she thought needed them. She told me if she couldn't anymore it would be my job to it. I don't know why, but you looked like you needed one." She said to me.

I placed the rock into my pocket and thanked her before leaving. Once I was out of sight and back to the woods near the town, I shifted back into demon form.

Time to take care of the scumbag that thought it was ok to hurt such a lovely lady and believe they could get away with it.

I teleport to a pretty run-down motel that was a good distance away from the town where she died. I send my shadows to scare him out and into the woods. I sent a different shadow to do a different task.

It didn't take long before the coward ran out and into the trees across the road. After he was out of breath, I revealed myself. He shouted at me.

"What the fuck are you? Leave me the fuck alone!" He shouts angrily.

Shouting at a demon what a bold and stupid move.

I told him exactly why I was there. Why he was going to be punished. He was never going to hurt her again. Not if I had anything to do about it.

It had been a few hours by the time I was done with him. The man had been torn apart slowly. Once he was gone, I left him hanging by his own intestines in a tree. Quite a gruesome sight, but fair punishment in my opinion.

With that job done I left back to Hell. I had appeared in the place for new arrivals. I look and see the corpse of the newest arrival to Hell. Now he definitely can never lay a hand on her again.

With that I decide that its time to head back to the hotel.

I teleport back to my room. I look at my outfit and it's covered in blood. Time for a shower, I guess. I remove the rock from my pocket and place it on my desk.

After my shower and a fresh change of clothes I sat at my desk. I pick up the rock and examine it. It was a smooth rock painted in a light purple color. It also had red and black voodoo symbols on it.

I recognize the symbols on the rock. They aren't ones I would use. They are ones I believe are used in light voodoo. They read kindness, hope, and love.

After a few moments I place it in my pocket and the events of this long day flow through my mind. I think I need to get away for a couple days. There are some things I need to think about. And being around her won't be very helpful.

I will let Charlie know I will be leaving for a bit. That way if anyone asks where I am she can say I am on a business trip.
