It’s midnight, Alastor stands at the edge of the city, sporting a very impatient smile.
Alastor: I’m here, now show yourself.
Charlie is pushed forward, still shackled by angelic chains with Vox standing behind her, looking smug.
Vox: Right on time, old chum.
Alastor: Vincent, I am impressed. Didn’t think you had it in you.
Vox: I’m not here for your praise.
Alastor: Oh really? Since when?
Vox: I wanted to have a little discussion with you. About our last deal? You fix my body and in exchange I can’t ever harm you. I want that deal broken, do so and you can have your princess back.
Alastor: Well seeing as you asked so nicely. (Snaps his fingers and a shadow tendril seizes Vox by the throat) You think you can steal from the Radio Demon and live? Fatal mistake old pal. Any last words?
Vox: (Chokes) You forget…I’m not alone.
Suddenly threaded needles spring out, binding Charlie tightly, being pulled by Velvette.
Velvette: (Snickers) Such a pretty thing, seems a shame I’ll have to crack her pipes.
Alastor: (Growls) Harm one hair on her head, I swallow Vox whole.
Valentino: And Velvette will kill your princesa, then where will that leave us?
Alastor: Valentino, thought I caught a whiff of desperation and gin. I must say I’m surprised to see you all here, last time I saw you three things weren’t going your way. And unless you hand back my business partner, they won’t be this time either.
Valentino: Shall I get you a step stool so you can look in my eyes when you threaten me?
Alastor: I don’t need to threaten you lot. After the stunt you pulled last year, I’ve been just itching for an excuse to put you all out of my misery.
Valentino: Have it your way. Velvette sweetie, crush the royal brat’s heart!
Velvette pulls the threads as tight as she can. Charlie gasps in pain, struggling to breathe. Being a demon princess, she can resist longer than most but not forever. Alastor cringes, and finally relents unable to watch her suffer.
Alastor: Alright! The deal is broken! (He snaps his fingers, Vox is released and Velvette cuts the threads) That was a rather risky endeavor Vox.
Vox: Well the risk was worth it.
Alastor: For now maybe but you know how much I hate breaking deals Vox and you three certainly won’t get away with this.
Vox: We’ll see about that. In the meantime, here.
He shoves Charlie forward, she nearly collapses as she tries to catch her breath, Alastor instantly catches her in his arms. The V’s then walk away laughing. Once Charlie can breathe properly again, she looks up at Alastor amazed.
Charlie: Why would you do that? With that deal broken, Vox could destroy you-
Alastor: (Concerned) They still won’t be able to harm you.
Charlie: (Confused but greatly touched) Why do you care about me?
Alastor: (Realizes how this looks and recomposes himself) I don’t. But if anyone’s going to crush your heart, it’s gonna be me.
