Chapter 14

Anger

🔥🌹✨🔥✨🌹🔥

It's been a few weeks now, Akira been in the hotel and behaving quite well— for the most part other than pissing Melody off; yeah. At the moment, he's having a conversation with Charlie over teas and coffees again in the lobby. Despite Melody's hatred towards the white haired male, she knows that she can't kick him out because he haven't done anything wrong upon the hotel and the Princess herself.

Talking about Melody, she's currently by the bar — talking to Husk as she fiddles with the straw in her glass cup of milkshake.

"You been drinking that a shit a lot now, you said you only drink it when you're tired?" Husk asks as he wipes a glass cup with a clean cloth. Melody's eyes are somewhere else as it stares off into nothing, her long eyelashes covering her rich red eyes.

"I feed off on energy a lot and I get tired easily if there's too much energy around me." Melody replies as she glares at Akira's head that's facing Charlie. "And that fucker been carrying it all over the place, makes me want to snap his goddamn neck." Melody hiss out as she drinks her milkshake angrily. Husk blinks, clearly noticing that Melody could easily just kill that demon if she wanted to.

"What a fucking asshole." Husk huffs out as Melody sighs and buries her face in her arms.

"I hope he just go away already, I can't even focus on my job with him breathing like a bitch!" Melody hisses as she slams her fists on the table, making the cup that's in front of her jump from the impact. Husk stops what he was doing as he stared at her for a moment, "Sorry." She mumbles out as she breathes in and out.

"Nah don't fuckin' sweat it, you can talk shit about that fucker all you want to me. I can see that he's already a fucking asshole, always coming up to you when you clearly ain't even interested in his stupid ass." Husk replies as he puts the glass cup in his hand on top of the shelves behind him. Melody slowly nods,

"I'm gonna go get some air." Melody says as she spins herself on the stool and jumps off from it. The girl fixes her skirt as she heads towards the front doors of the hotel.

"Dear, where are you going?" Alastor asks from behind the reception counter, his eyes looking up from the book that's from his hand. Melody stops as she turns her hand towards him,

"Oh, I'm just gonna sit outside. I needed some air." She reply as she turns her body fully towards him, Alastor smiles as he closes his book.

"That sounds delightful! May I join you?" He asks as the book in his hand disappear into thin air. Alastor's eyes turns lidded as he stared down at the shorter girl with his hands behind his back.

"Sure." She replies shortly.

"Wonderful!" Alastor cheers as he walls out from behind the counter and beside the girl, the two walks out of the hotel as they chat with each other a little bit. Charlie and Akira had stopped talking as they both watch the two leave, Charlie looks at Akira who have a hurtful look on his face. Charlie couldn't help but hold her hands up as she shake them,

"Don't worry! They're just friends!" She tries to reassure him, Akira's brows furrows as he looks down to his hands and fiddling with his thumbs.

"I feel so guilty for what I did, now she won't even look at me." Akira says out loud to nobody but to himself in particular. Charlie couldn't do much as she frowns sadly, Akira looks up as he looks at her. "Who is that guy anyways?" He asks out of the blue, the question caught her off guard as she jumps a bit.

"O-Oh him.. His name is Alastor— wait, are you telling me that you don't know him?" Charlie cuts herself off short when she realizes it, Akira shakes his head slowly.

"I live on another part of Hell, is he some popular demon that I should know about or something?" Akira asks as his right eyebrow arches upwards in a questioning look. Charlie holds her hands together with her fingers touching one another as she looks off to the side — finding the right words as her eyes looks around.

"Well... He's a dangerous overlord for short, everyone in hell calls him the Radio Demon because of his ways of killing and tormenting others down here in hell. He offered me a help and I couldn't just turn him down because it goes against everything I've been working on. He may be really dangerous but he's been really nice and helpful to me and everyone here in the hotel!" Charlie explains as she smiles widely, Akira looks at the girl. Something doesn't seem right but the white haired male just couldn't quite put his finger on it so he decided to just shake it away.

"Thank you, Charlie. I think I'm going to check up on her for a moment." Akira stands up and heads to the door, not even waiting for Charlie's reply. The blonde girl tried stopping him because she knows that it won't be a good idea.

"Akira-" Was all Charlie managed to get out as the male already opens the door of the hotel as he stares outside.

"Dear, and you said that you don't know how to dance!" Alastor's voice could be heard. Melody rolls her eyes,

"Oh shutup." Was all she could muster out as the two danced with each other outside, it seem like it was a way to pass some time for the two of them. "I just haven't danced in so long.. with someone, that is." She mumble out as she looks down to her boots. Akira couldn't do anything as he stares at the two being so close to each other, Alastor noticed the male as he stops — making the girl stop too as she looks up at Alastor and follow his gaze to the man by the door.

The second Melody's eyes landed on him, her eyebrows narrowed in hatred.

"Seems like we have company." Alastor says as he smiles widely towards the male. Melody didn't say anything as she stares at the male, Akira could feel her stare ripping away and stabbing on his flesh if only looks could kill.

"Darli—" Akira was cut off short when a black lace umbrella flies as it hits the door that's right beside the male's head, missing away in just an inch. The sharp end went into the door as it stuck on the wood.

"Don't. You don't have the rights to call me that anymore." Melody says as she looks down, her hair covering her face as she grips on her skirt.

"But that's what you liked to be called is it not? You told me—" Akira tries to talk again but was cut off again.

"Have she not made herself clear?" Alastor finally voice out, Akira turns to him with a glare.

"Who the hell are you telling me what to do, strawberry pimp?" Akira talks back, Melody's hands went from gripping her skirt to holding the sides of her head as she walks off to the side a little bit. Akira walks off the little stairs of the porch as he walks up to Alastor, clearly asking for a death wish if you ask me.

"I'd be watching my mouth if I were you, fella." Alastor's smile only remained still as he glares at the male in front of him that's a few inches shorter.

"Don't tell me what to fucking do, you're just in the way of me and Kana aren't you, just because you're some overlord and shit?" He spits out in Alastor's face, the other male only chuckle lowly.

"Just admit that you're jealous that she would talk to me and not some drunk, cheating, ex-boyfriend." Alastor taunt him by saying the words one by one as his eyes slowly turns into dials. Akira's impatience got the best of him as his hand raises up into a ball, ready to punch the dead daylights out of Alastor. But before he could throw his punch, his hand couldn't move or budge as he struggles.

Akira turns to the side to see that Melody had held his arm, her face is still darkened from her hair covering her face. Akira slowly try lowering his arm,

"Ka—" Before he could finish his sentence, a loud sound of a hand colliding skin could be heard throughout the place. It turned so quiet a pin drop could be heard, Alastor's eyes widened in surprise as he watch the scene in from of him.

Melody had slapped Akira across his face as it leaves a clear red mark on the other male's pale skin. Melody's eyes are glowing red with anger as she glares at him, Akira's shocked expression tries to process what had happened.

"Begone from my sight." She says as Akira looks down on the ground, he nods slowly as he walks back into the hotel. Melody watch as he disappear from sight, Alastor turns to the girl as he noticed the black liquid he had seen before spilling out from her eyes as under her eyes turns purple and it bruises on her pale white skin.

"Dear—" Alastor calls out, Melody shakes her head as she wipes the black liquid away from her cheeks.

"I'm fine, this happens." She reply as she stains her already-black sleeves with the black liquid. "C-Can we go for a walk?" Melody asks as she looks up at Alastor, trying to get her mind off whar just happened. The male smiles.

"Of course, Darling."
