Chapter Text
Oh Nifffty my dear,”
The 12 year olds ears immediately perked up as she took off for the man she knew loved her more than anything, snuggling into his outstretched arms.
“Welcome back, sir!”
“Haha! I've told you time and again just call me Alastor.”
“Yes, sir!” She chirped happily, it didn't seem right for her to give her salvation a title anything less than honorific, recalling that day with bittersweet feelings…

12 year old Nifffty brookside never felt like she belonged anywhere. She had highly abusive and sexually perverse parents, bullies at school, and never felt like she was good enough.
“HEY, FREAK!” She heard, barely ducking a rock coming for her head. Unfortunately, the rock was enough to throw her off balance, and caused her to fall into the path of an oncoming car...
“Ugh… Where am I?”
“Oh, you poor dear. Aren't you tragic?”
“Who- Who Said that? Show yourself!” she demanded, pulling out her trusty needle for emergency sewing jobs.
“Shhh… Calm down, love. You’re safe here.” A dark figure cooed, arms materializing around her and rubbing her back.
“W-w-what do you want?” She asks, subconsciously melting a bit at the comforting touch.
“Why, you, my dear. Only you,” he reassures her, snuggling her closer as she feels a few tears roll down her cheek from his words.
“Shhh… Shhh, now, it's alright. I'm here. You'll see me again, I promise.”
“N-No! Please don't leave me! I-I'm scared!”
“I know, but we'll meet again soon enough...”
And the rest, as they say, is history. Though she had to admit, the abuse she got on the regular when she was alive opened up her masochistic side. She didn't just love pain, she needed it.

"Oh, hi Alastor, hi Nifffty!” Charlie greeted, sipping some apple blood tea.
“Greetings, Charlie.” the radio demon smiled as Nifffty waved. It was really sweet how close they were.
“What are you two up to?” She asked, smiling back at them.
"Oh, I'm taking this little darling some place very special. It's actually been 10 years since we've known each other.”
“Aww, that's so awesome! Congratulations, you two! Well, you just take all the time you need,” exclaimed Charlie encouragingly, as Alastor carried a bouncing Nifffty out the door.
