I own nothing except for Vesta and Richie. Theyâre my OCs.
Song belongs to Des Rocs.
Alastor and Hazbin belongs to Vivziepop
This song is a fucking banger. Enjoy
My fanfic is on AO3 as Sanguine Nyctophilia. Iâm only posting it here as a random chapter I will be using. Not sure where I will put it, but it will be up.
Vesta was rushed into the back for wardrobe, shedding her long sleeve off and throwing on the red sleeveless top. Black small studs lined around the collar with her gray chest fluff exposed. Stripping quickly of her leggings, she finds the ripped jeans and throws them on. She grabs the red guitar off the rack, striking and adjusting her chords. Finding the right key, she nods.
âYouâre a lifesaver, honey! Thank you,â Richie cheers. âWhat do you plan to play?â
Vesta writes down a song, hands him the title and artist. Something to get the crowd pumped. Rickie informed that the headliner is here and they need a moment to be prepared. One song to get bide time.
Lights turn down low and many of the demons turn their gaze, even Alastorâs eyes watch what will unfold.
âGood evening!â Richie the club owner announces. âWe hear at The Bloom love a good starter before our headliner. Something for you lovely sinners can enjoy! For your blood to get pumping. One of our regulars that you knowâŚwill get that started.
âPlease welcome Ms. Vesta Masters!â
The club patrons applaud for their starter. Alastor watched with intrigue and intent. He knew that the vampire could play guitar, but her as the start up? This will sure be entertaining to watch.
The stage lights come on and their starter ready with her guitar. Her instrument immediately turns from red to black with the pentagrams on the bar. Black spiked with a red ring by the strum. The vampire walks over to the microphone resting on its stand.
âMany of you know who I am,â Vesta begins. âWhispers of my nickname youâve used. Truth is: you never know oneâs story. The world kick the shit out of you. The more you call a person a monster, make them out to beâŚthen, you create that said monster. Let this be your anthem. Letâs go!â
The bar erupts in cheers and clapping. With a heavy riff of the guitar to start, some patrons begin to head up the stage. The drummer prepping alongside, then stops, allowing the riffs to carry.
âI've made mistakes, Lord struck me down
Caught in a landslide, lost underground
I hear them gates, swing open wide
Come close to midnight, hell fade me downâ
Alastor watching the vampire singing as a lament, her allegory. Her soul pours into her voice. The lower octave voice made it haunting and heart pounding. The amount of power behind those lyrics she is covering. How it brings back memoriesâŚ
âAnd then my eyes got used to the darkness
Was lost and so long forgotten after youâ
The radio demon was enthralled by the singing, he grins and with a quick snap of his fingers, his mic appears on stage. This broadcast of her song and voice reaching all ears of Pentagram. Vesta tapped into her old performer side, coming back to her like a natural.
âNow would you pray before you twist the knife?
Yeah, would you take my hand and take a life?
I'm too damn young to give up on the night
I'm used to the darkness, I'm used to the darknessâ
Alastor begins tapping his foot to the rhythm. Even if it isnât his taste in music, this was beginning to be an ear worm. For what Vesta announced in the beginning, she finally embraced what she was. Oh how incredible she looked in the light. The power in her vocal chords.
âI'm just a man, I'm only flesh and bone
I can't blame it back on everything I've done
And now there's no-one else left to love
I'm used to the darkness, I'm used to the darknessâ
The radio demon began to recall his victims of how he used to kill. He embraced his own darkness. When it was a few weeks ago, he witnessed Vestaâs own darkness. How she could kill her own when readied. The sheer anger and rage pent up in that small form.
âSweet smell of roses, have come at last
One fist of Earth fights, to come join the rest
And then my eyes got used to the darkness
Was lost and so long forgotten after youâ
The radio demon couldnât help be enthralled, enraptured by this powerful vampire. His grin growing wide with genuine excitement of how amazing the vampire could sing. The bar patrons flock the stage, clapping and stomping along the chorus. Many of these demons could feel their own darkness with each lyric out of this song.
âNow would you pray before you twist the knife?
Yeah, would you take my hand and take a life?
I'm too damn young to give up on the night
I'm used to the darkness, I'm used to the darknessâ
Vesta began stomping along with her riffs. Her passion flowing into her hand work. That rage and hate going into a melody that could be felt. The guitar begins to light up in red neon.
âI'm just a man, I'm only flesh and bone
I can't blame it back on everything I've done
And now there's no-one else left to love
I'm used to the darkness, I'm used to the darknessâ
Pentagram City was hearing the very lowest, angriest, rage fueled vampire embracing her now own afterlife. The Betrayer. Alastor carefully stepped into the crowd, watching with genuine smile. Stomping his foot along, he was completely in love of this passionate woman.
In the interlude while the band plays, Vesta takes Alastorâs mic.
âI was never a villain from what I did. But, nowâŚwhat everyone keeps calling me, Iâm here! And Iâm here to stay!â
The patrons cheer out, stomping louder.
âI got used to the darkness too
I got used to the darkness for you
I got used to the darkness too
The low riffs as the solo prepares for an impactful finish.
âWould you pray before you twist the knife?
Would you take my hand and take a life?â
Oh, how the radio demon would love do these things with Vesta as she sang. Both of them embracing their inner demons. If there was one thing they could share in common, they were not born as monsters. In truth, the radio demon was a sweet gentleman in life. Before the world twisted him into the killer he was.
âI'm too damn young to give up on the night
I'm used to the darkness, used to the darkness
I'm just a man, I'm only flesh and bone
I can't bring it back on everything I've done
And now there's no-one else left to love
I'm used to the darkness, I'm used to the darknessâ
Vesta was the best woman she could be alive. Until she was betrayed and where every turn she could go to, she twisted that knife that turned her into a killer. And nowâŚwith her own second betrayal that she was involved in, it was time for to embrace her twisted self.
âI'm used to the darkness, I'm used to the darknessâ
The patrons all cheered and applaud loudly. They raise their glasses in a toast for a damn good show. Alastor applauding loudly at the vampire. His shadow whispers to his master that the batling will receive a gift for a captivating performance. But, he has to go and see the lovely woman. Heâs practically prancing into the employeeâs only section.
Vesta walks off the stage and sees Alastor walking quickly up to her backstage. The radio pulls her into a tight hug after the vampire swung her guitar behind her back. He can understand why the vampire picked that song. It was for the ones who got the shit kicked out when these sinners were alive.
âIncredible! Beautiful! Impactful! Passionate!â The radio demon called out.
The headliners head up on stage and prepare their set.
âRight?! She got the crowd up,â Richie smiled. âThank you so much, sweetie!â
âYeah, Richie⌠well, Iâm glad it went very well.â
âThereâs something waiting for you at wardrobe. Go check it out. Seems you got an admirer for your set.â
Vesta heads to the wardrobe room and notices a bouquet of black roses with the same small white note she recognizes. With each note, she is getting closer to unmasking this secret man.
Same penmanship and in black ink:
âAbsolute showstopper of a performance! I hope these roses find to your liking.â
Vesta smiles, chuckles at the note. She looks up at the roses. One step closer to unmasking the man.
