Work Text:
He was in hell when he got the letter. It was white with gold around the edges and he knew immediately who it was from. How had the elder angel’s figured it out? Alastor could feel his body shaking as he opened the portal to heaven, the wings of his angelic form flapped wildly as he took his first step back into heaven.
The elder angel were all there in the meeting room looking down at him from there places up above.
“Altruist” He could see the disgust in there eyes “you have gone against heaven to aid hell, how do you plead?” There was no good answer, if he said innocent they will prove he lied but if he said he was guilty then what would they do. Was lying in hopes of them being unable to prove his guilt work. No the look in there eyes spoke volumes.
“I am guilty of no such thing” He sneered up the them all “I may be helping hell but I am no traitor that name falls to you” If they were to make him fall then he would be honest in his last heavenly words “I believe in redemption while you sat by and didn’t once say anything against Sera and Adam. It is you who are cruel”
The one in the middle slams his fist against the wall shutting him up immediately.
“We can not tolerate this. I do not care if you are of higher rank this needs punishment” Alastor stiffened, would they really make him fall.
“If we push him he will be with his friends” Another one says looking at the one in the middle. “That is no punishment, I say we use the void” Alastor’s eyes widen and his hands shake, the void was a harsh punishment where one feels the worst they have experienced over and over again till set free. It was used to reprogram people into what the elders desired.
“Well then” the middle one smiles enjoying the fear “to the void” Chains rise from the floor and wrap around his neck, wrists and legs pulling him to his knees. The floor beneath him begins to bubble and burn at it surrounds him. He knows how this works he saved people from this before. The boiling oozing substance would surround him completely and force him to experience all he wished to forget.
Only elder angels of above could brake him from this suffering and he knew those cruel creatures would not do that anytime soon.
He was in his earthly bedroom. Under his bed. He could remember this moment vividly and wished it would have never happened. A hand reached under the bed and dragged him out by his hair ignoring the fact Alastor’s was kicking, screaming and crying. He was thrown into a wall out in the dangerous area of his bedroom.
Out in the open.
He felt like pray cornered and afraid and the monster of a man came closer to him. He couldn’t move and yet it was all he wished to do.
(Rape start)
He wanted to run but the man was on him dragging his hands up his body in places no father should touch the son. In heaven he had all this power and yet here he was powerless. A weak toy to be used by this vile man.
He pulled down his shorts and boxers before he touched Alastor who only cried. The monster just kept saying he would enjoy it or to relax.
He pulled out his own cock and forced Alastor onto it. He tried to fight, he really did but this small mortal body was weak and it froze. Tears kept falling and he whimpered in pain. He felt sick as the man he had to call dad pumped into him like he was nothing all while restraining him.
Alastor could only beg for the man to stop to leave him alone but he didn't listen. He didnt stop till Alastor could feel him release into his body.
(Rape end)
The man left Alastor there crying. Just laying on the floor in a sobbing fit all not being able to breath.
In only a few seconds his mind seemed to blur and his body shifted.
He was at the dinner table with his mother and the monster. He was complaining about work and there was alcohol in his hand. He had started to yell. His mother had gotten to to get him another beer and when she was about to give it to him he flung his arms in the air causing his poor mother to drop the bottle.
Alastor could see the fear in her eyes as the man came on her smacking her to the floor. Before Alastor would run and hide under his bed like his mother asked of him but it would never save him for long. Now he was older. He was no longer that five year old when it had first started. He was nine now. He should protect her.
Alastor saw the monster go to hit his mama again so he ran. He grasped at his arm and pulled forcing the drunk man away from his mother who begged for him to run, to leave while he could.
She knew what the man she called her husband did to Alastor but she could do nothing. She was a black woman and he was white. She was a prisoner just as he was.
The man swung at Alastor slamming his small frame into the wall. Alastor whimpered from the impact as he felt dizzy. He felt sick.
The man came down on him and slammed his fist into him.
Again.
Again.
Again.
He flung bottles at him, plates, kicks and punches all while his mother watched sobbing. She had tried and failed to get the man off her son to no avail only getting punched back into the chairs.
Alastor felt numb yet felt every new wound all at the same time.
It hurt so bad.
In hell lucifer was panicking. Alastor was missing from the hotel for more then a week and he had no idea where the man was. It didn’t help that they had an act of not liking one another but he could regret that later.
“Why do you look so panicked dad?” Charlie asked confused.
“Alastor’s missing” He can’t bring himself to care that telling them would ruin the plan. This was a friend who could possibly be in danger.
“Why do you care” Husk said wiping the desk “you don’t like the man” He looked up the the short king.
“Fuckkk” He pushed his palms into his eyes before shaking them away and looking at the group. Everyone was there, even Niffty who was easily distracted by bugs or dust was waiting to hear what he had to say.
“It’s a long story but the basic of it is that Alastor is actually an angel and a good friend of mine. We asked him to come help you so he made himself an overlord of hell and then the plan began and lots of stuff happened. Every second down here he’s risking his heavenly life and I’m worried because he’s been missing for more than a week now”
He said it all at such a fast pace and he didn’t even realise he had began pacing.
“What-“ Charlie started looking shocked.
“I know I know it’s a lot but right now we need do find Alastor and make sure he’s safe” Husk looked utterly shocked and angel shared the feeling.
“Who is he in heaven?” She asked apprehensively. He had almost forgotten she was an ex exterminator.
“Altruist” Vaggie’s eyes widened as if realizing the man she respected was also the man she had hated in hell.
“Why would- why would he act so cruel in hell” “Vaggie it was all an act he never liked the killing, he hated how he had to act to follow the plan” Charlie seemed so overwhelmed by all the knowledge she was being subjected to.
“How do you recognise Alastor’s angelic name” The two of them looked at each other.
“This isn’t how I wanted you to find out I’m sorry-“ Vaggie’s voice crumbled slightly.
“It’s ok. I’m just glad you’ve told me” Charlie hugged her girlfriend close and didn’t mind that a few tears fell on her clothing.
“Look I’m glad this information is out in the open but can we please go find Alastor. He’s never gone anywhere without telling me or Lilith” He slapped his hands over his mouth as soon as he said her name.
“You know where mother is!” Charlie said completely in shock now. So much was being revealed.
“She didn’t want to leave I promise but-“ Lucifer cut himself off immediately looking to have realised something.
He turned round to the emptiness of the front of the hotel and stuck his hand up. A large burning yellow flame appeared in the middle of it and five seconds later it turned a bright purple.
“Luci dear what’s-“ It was Lilith looking at them from in the flame. She seemed to see that everyone was looking at her in shock. “Honey what wrong” She looks slightly panicked now.
“Get Jesus. Tell him it’s Altruist and take him to the hotel we need to talk” She nodded and walked away as the flames fell. It only took a few minutes for the two of them to arrive and Jesus ran right up to Lucifer.
“What have you done to him” Jesus asked looking like his rage would pop out any second.
“We haven’t done anything but he’s missing-“
“He’s on earth he told me himself” He looked at Lucifer slightly confused.
“Jesus it was a lie” Lilith puts her hand on his shoulder “You deserve a explanation but for now just know that he was trying to save lives and stop a bad thing heaven is doing” The man looks up at Lilith and she looks back. Silent words seem to pass in the look they give each other and he nods in understanding.
“What do you need”
Alastor had just come back from school and was walking into the kitchen when he saw her. His mother was against the wall in a sitting position.
Dead.
Alastor rushed over to her and fell down to his knees. He used his hand up lift up her face and the other to press down on the large gash on her chest that was oozing out blood like a fountain.
Tears welled up in his eyes as he begged for her to live even just for one more second so he could say goodbye but body was cold. Her eyes once filled with joy and loving hope were now blank and void. Her face was left with the essence of a smile and there were dried tear tracks on her skin. Alastor pulled her body closer and gave her a hug ignoring the tears the fell from his eyes.
“ALASTOR” A voice yells. He spun around and let his mother go, now covering his mouth with the blood covered hands.
He looks back at his mother for a second before bolting out the door. He could hear the man behind him shout his name as he ran out the door but he didn’t look back. He ran through the bayou that surrounded his home hoping that the trees and bushes would hide him from the man’s eyes.
He kept running and running.
He could hear the man yelling.
He could hear barking.
Alastor turned his head to see where the barking was coming from. As his eyes were not looking in front of him his foot caught on a root twisting the young boys ankle and pulling him to the ground.
He fell to the ground right into the muck below, he tried to scramble up but his ankle wouldn’t let him. All he could do was use his elbows to shuffle back when the dogs came. Alastor’s dad knew he didn’t like dogs.
The hunting animals shot right at him ripping into his flesh. Teeth dug into skin and pulled it away from bone. Blood ozzed out the fresh wounds and it only seemed to make the dogs want more.
Ripping.
Tearing.
Pulling.
Screaming.
Pain.
Pain.
Pain.
Alastor lunged away from the animal but a loud bang sounds.
He feels the bullet impale though his head and he falls to the ground. The pain doesn’t leave as he screams.
He’s no longer in the dark. He can feel something on his shoulder but can’t place what it is. Slowly he blinks and looks around wondering what is going on. The walls are white and when he looks at his shoulder there’s a hand there.
It’s not a cold grip like his earthly father had but one of concern. Carefully he turns around to see most everyone he holds dear. Everyone of the hotel were huddled together looked shocked at him, Lilith and Lucifer were standing together and the one holding his shoulder is Jesus.
Why as Jesus here?
Alastor looked around again taking in his environment before looking back at Jesus who had began to speak.
“Altruist you were put in the void for a while you’re going to be disoriented. Lilith and Lucifer told me everything” He smiled down at Alastor seeing the man register his words.
“They found out I was helping hell” He recounted trying to take back the memory’s that were lost during his punishment “How long was I gone?”
“Bit more then a week” Lucifer said. Alastor takes a deep breath before getting Jesus to help him stand up.
“Can we go now I’d rather not say here for any longer” Jesus passed Alastor to Lilith to help him say standing.
“You get going I need to talk to my father now that I know about this extermination thing”
“But he’s on holiday” Alastor said. The group look at them all confused as if they thought god would approve of exterminations.
“I don’t give a shit, when I tell him what’s goin’ on he’ll come himself or let me fix it” Alastor just nods and they all head straight back to hell. Surprisingly without any issues but Jesus may have had a hand in that somehow.
The extermination was officially cancelled only two days later and Charlie hotel was changed to the official way of fixing overpopulation. Really if he wasn’t bound by writing he would have told Jesus sooner.
