Charlie sighed as she finished taking down the decorations. The engagement party had been a success! Even Alastor had fun, though Charlie was pretty sure that he’d made some deals in the back of the hotel’s foyer. Nonetheless, she was thrilled that Alastor had asked her to marry him.

After Vaggie’d turned Charlie’s proposal down, citing her desire to go to Heaven, Alastor had stepped in without any prompting. Vaggie got her wish thanks to her dedication. She was the first of them to go to Heaven. Charlie had missed Vaggie deeply. She’d really loved her. Charlie understood; Heaven was ultimately her home. Whereas Charlie belonged in Hell.

Alastor had been a rock. Keeping Charlie stable through her grief, taking over responsibilities when he didn’t have to. He even ran some trust exercises! True, they all ended in a fight, but at least he tried!

They got closer, and closer, until somehow they were sharing a room. And then Alastor was daring enough to seduce her . It had been amazing! She was pretty sure he’d never done anything like that before. What he did with his shadows and tongue…

She shook off the flush as she came back to reality. Everyone was gone now save for her and Alastor. Charlie turned to find Alastor was right behind her.

“GAH!” Charlie dropped the decorations on the ground. Taking a breath, she stammered, “You scared me!”

“Sorry, my darling. I simply wanted to come over and complete the engagement!” Alastor said.

“Complete the engagement?” Charlie didn’t know what he meant.

“Let’s make a deal! I’ll be yours forever if you’ll be mine forever! And we’ll seal it with our hearts!”

“Awwww.” That was really mushy of Alastor! So cute! Charlie could only answer one way: “Yes!”

“First we must shake on it.” Alastor offered his hand that was only glowing faintly. Charlie took it, giving it a firm shake.

“ Excellent. ” The two of them started to float in the air. “ Don’t worry; it will only be excruciating for a minute. ”

“Wha-” was all Charlie got out before Alastor plunged his hand fingers-first into her chest. Her ribs made a sickening SNAP as his hand twisted, breaking all the bones protecting her heart. He then ripped her heart out, blood pouring like a fountain out of her body. She could see her lungs desperately trying to work even with no heart pumping, bones sticking out at odd angles.

The heart was still beating in his hand as he repeated the same to himself. SNAP riiiiiip. Charlie was horrified; his heart was flowing with green and black magic, obviously tainted. Blood barely dripped out of his body as the green glow intensified. It was then that Charlie realized her own bleeding had calmed.

Alastor shoved his heart into her chest and her heart into his. Slowly the damage reversed itself. Vessels attached, bones mended. Lastly her chest sealed itself up with a flash of green magic. The magical stitches that were left over were crisscrossed, similar to the look Alastor had when he used his powers.

Her breath came back, Alastor’s heart beginning to beat inside her. She could feel him in her, a permanent part of herself.
