Fact Check
"Okay there is a human here in Hell...ooooh boy.",Charlie panics as she squishes her rosy cheeks together and inhales deeply. She pulls her long blonde braid onto her shoulder and plays with the ends of her hair as she watches Niffty scurry around your sleepy figure.
"Woah...",Niffty breathes while looking over your skin. Charlie squeaks when Niffty lifts up your eye and you shake her away with a soft groan and furrowing of your brows. Vaggie pulls away Niffty who frowns slightly yet stays away from you.
"Are we sure she's human? Some people here look close to that...",Vaggie attempts to reason as you stir once more in your sleep. Charlie shakes her head while stroking her chin and pushing her braid off her shoulder.
"She's human. She has no signs that she would be anything but...oh fuck what are we gonna do? How could she have even gotten here?",Charlie turns to Vaggie with wide eyes and grips her shoulders. Husk takes a long swig from his bottle of alcohol and he leans down to tap at your cheek. Your damp hair falling from its place against it.
"Maybe those fuckin' mercenary imps accidentally brought her here.",Vaggie shakes her head while swatting away Husks hand.
"Not possible all witnesses said she just crawled up from the beach.",Vaggie states while gently bringing Charlies hands off her shoulders. They all jump back slightly when you let out a drawn out groan and stretch your arms out.
You swallow hard and slowly blink and stare up at a red ceiling//...where am I?...//
For a moment you forget where you are, yet when you turn and your eyes meet a pair of beady black ones you jump and scramble up to a sitting position.
"W-Woah...",you breathe out. You look down and meet an eye, yours widen further at the sight of the small hotel maid,"Niffty..." Everyone shares a look when you utter Nifftys name.
Husk looks to you with narrowed eyes, //how the fuck did she know her name...//
"Yeah! Its nice to meet you. I haven't seen a human in so long...",Niffty attempts to grab your five fingered hand yet you reach up and grab ahold of Husks arm.
You yank him down roughly and run your hand up his arms and across his shocked face,"Y-You're real!" You exclaim,"I-I u-um—" You stammer out as Husk roughly pulls himself away from you and wiped away the spots you touched.
"Of fuckin' course I'm real, now get your fuckin' hands off me!",he curses in a vulgar manner and you shake your head while bringing your knees up to your chest and hugging them.
// I'm in Hell. Not just any type of Hell, but Vivziepops version of Hell. //
"Oh my god oh my god...",you repeat over and over before gasping and pulling your phone from your back pocket. When you take it out you realize its completely soaked and ruined. Cursing you frighten the occupants when you chuck it across the room. Niffty wastes no time in hurrying to clean it up.
Charlie steps forward despite Vaggies reservations,"U-Um I know you're probably very scared right now but if we could just ask how you got here..." You look up at Charlie and drop your legs down.
Inhaling deeply you swallow hard and furrow your brows. You remember an anxiety textpost you saw and used every time you fell into a nightmare,"Do you have a mirror?" Vaggie raises a brow and she reaches into the pocket of her torn dress.
Taking the compact mirror you inhale slowly and open it with your eyes shut. They all watch you carefully and curiously. You open your eyes and bite down on your bottom lip while staring into your crystal clear reflection.
//I'm not dreaming...this isn't some twisted nightmare.//
You begin to rationalize this scenario and think through your current situation. But its a bit difficult.
//Am I in the show?...Is this an alternate universe? If I am in a show are they aware?...Will they act like Vivziepop designed them to act?//
For now, from your past experiences with movies you decide upon the best option.
Playing dumb.
"I-I have no idea how I got here.",you lie straight through your teeth while tucking back your damp locks. Charlie nods slowly as you hand the compact back to Vaggie. She sighs gently,"How did you know Niffty's name? We just met her a week ago."
//So this is a week after everything in the pilot...//
"I know who all of you are...but I don't know how I got here. The last thing I remember is climbing up from the ocean.",you half-lie and Charlie nods. Vaggies arms are crossed over her chest and you look up to see the x where her eye is suppose to be.
"What's your name?",she inquires and you're quick to respond back.
"(Y/N). And you're Vaggie, and she's Charlie.",you point to both woman and Husk grumbles softly about being too old for this before walking back to the bar. Yet his eyes remain on you.
"Why did you say "you're real" to Husk?",Vaggies suspicions of you are obvious. Humans were not all allowed in Hell nor has any single human gotten into Hell unless the IMP organization messed up. But they never let their humans go alive.
You sigh as you take a moment to think of some half-truth bullshit,"I...I've seen all of you somewhere before but I just can't remember where. Please you have to help me I have no idea how I got here I-I just...All I know is I’m not from this world." You feel your bottom lip quiver and you hug yourself.
Charlies brows pinch together and she frowns,"Its okay. We'll...figure something out....but wow...",Charlies lips tug into a smile as she grabs your hands and plays with your fingers,"I've never met a human before..."
You can't help but smile as Charlie counts your fingers. Even Vaggie smiles at Charlies wide sparkling eyes. Vaggie can't help but feel a bit bad for you yet she also can't help but be curious as she sits by you,"So what have you seen of us...?"
You turn to Vaggie and tilt your head. You always liked Vaggie but you wondered if she was the same as she was written to be.
"I know of the people here. You, Charlie, Husk, Niffty, Angel Dust, Al—"
"Hello! What a dreadful morning it is today."
Your eyes widen at that radio filtered voice, you can't bring yourself to look up as your cheeks tinge red and your palms grow sweaty.
"Well is this a new face?"
Before you can react you hear the sound of Vaggie being shoved and Charlie running after her. You squeak out when Alastor lifts your chin with the top of his cane, forcing you to look at him.
//Im going to pass out again. He's a psychotic cannibal why do I have butterflies?//
"Its quite rude to not say hell—",Alastor stops himself short and he pulls away his cane at the sight of you. He exhales slowly while cocking his head gently. His eyes brush over your rosy cheeks and shameful eyes. He grows curious.
"A human? Well what are you doing here?",he questions and you swallow hard. Clearing your throat you can only bring yourself to shrug as all the fanfictions you read pop into your head and you grow embarrassed.
Vaggie glares at Alastor yet she snickers when you shove him aside and clear your throat once more,"U-um Charlie I hate to be a burden but I don't know where I could go. Can I stay here?" Charlie watches Alastor stumble on his feet and she conceals a grin with her hand and she nods.
"Of course. We can't exactly let you out. Humans arent allowed here so I'm afraid you'll always be with one of us until we can figure everything out.”,Charlie explains with a gentle and comforting tone. She looks to Niffty who runs to you with your cellphone,”Niffty take (Y/N) to one of our rooms. I’ll meet you there in a second.”
You flinch as Niffty grabs your hand and drags you around with surprising strength. When you get to the stairs you yelp when she lifts you up and hurries up the stairs at alarming speeds.
“So Niffty...”,you wobble on your sneakers when she puts you down,”You write fanfictions right?” Niffty stops just as she raises the key to the door. Slowly she turns to you and you wonder if it was a bit strange to just bring that up.
Then her smile stretches ear to ear and she squeals while jumping on her feet,”Oh my god!! Yes I do! Do you?” You laugh softly while taking the key from her and opening the door. You walk into it and sigh heavily while tossing your phone on a nearby couch.
“Yeah I did. Probably lost everything when my phone got zapped.”,you frown slightly and Niffty does just the same before snapping her fingers.
“Do you want to read one of my stories? Its about two people we know.”,she questions with excitement and you cocky our head with curiosity. With a soft narrowing of your eyes you throw your hands up,”Sure!”
Niffty grins with excitement and scurries out of the room with a few squeals and a loud slamming of the door. You laugh gently and sigh while reaching back and unzipping the corset like top you wear, you unzip it and scrunch your nose as the sand that falls to the carpet.
“Can we have a conversation now?”
You jump at the sound of Alastors voice and chills run up your spine. Turning around your eyes finally meet Alastors glowing red ones and his signature grin. Your brows furrow and you look him over.
//God he’s...scary in person.//
You begin to analyze the situation carefully once more. Alastor was not who the fanon said he was. And you only knew so much about him and even then you still don’t know how much is true in this...universe. But you knew that he was a cannibalistic overlord who is as narcissistic as he is sadistic.
You’re unaware to the leering way Alastors eyes roam up your bare back and along the jagged scar that rests on your shoulder blade. You smell of the sea yet somehow the scent of cinnamon hits him.
His eyes roam over your skin and he thinks of how soft it looks. He feels his collar grow tight and he pulls at it.
“I suppose so.”,you say softly while zipping your corset back up, being aware of his disdain towards sex. Whether it was true or not you did not want to be shirtless in front of him.
Alastors eyes look over your features. He cocks his head gently and can’t help but notice you are quite beautiful. He hasn’t seen a human in a while and its fascinating to see you, especially considering your reaction to him earlier.
He notices the way your lips are stretched in a smile and his eyes narrow slightly,”Now this is something. Strange of you to not remember how you came to be here...” He walks towards you and you pull the rubber band from your wrist and tie up your hair with it.
With a lowered and raised brow you nod,”Imagine how I feel.” He chuckles and nods while clasping his hands behind his back.
//Shit he’s super tall.//
“You mentioned you also have seen us all before. What do you know of the others?”,you snort and turn away with a sharp exhale of slight disbelief.
“A lot. But I know about some of you more than the others.”,your gently run your fingers through your ponytail,”The problem is I cannot tell how much is truly you or...someones idea of you.”
Alastor can’t help but be extremely curious of you.
You gasp softly when Alastor grabs your wrist and pull you towards him. You hit his chest with a soft “oof” and feel your face redden.
“You know nothing about me.”,he states with a tight grin as his gloved hand remains wrapped around yours,”You silly humans act as if you know everything.”
//Seems that narcissism is true.//
Your eyes narrow up at him from being talked down to. You never liked that. Men talking down to you in any sense rubbed you the wrong way. You keep your eyes narrow but a lopsided grin falls on your lips.
“Well this silly human knows your name is Alastor. No last name I know of. You died in 1933. You’re in your thirties. You are an absolute food snob. You absolutely hate being touched but you don’t mind invading others person space. You don’t care for sex or romantic feelings as well.”,Alastors eyes are wide and his grin is parted in utter shock, you lean up close to his face with a tilt of your head,”How’s that fear of dogs going?”
Alastor finds himself in complete shock at the trivial yet specific things you know of him. Your grin falls when his hand tightens around your wrist and his other hand grabs your other wrist. He begins to walk forward and you can only walk back.
He chuckles darkly,”I don’t know where you came from or how you knew any of that but let me just fact check you for a moment.” You feel your legs hit the bed and you flinch.
“I no longer fear dogs, I just hold a disliking towards them. Messy and annoying creatures.”,you gasp softly while he shoves you down and rests on top of you. Your face turns red as he pins your wrists to the bed. Your eyes widen and he cocks his head.
Leaning down his grin is more of a smirk,”And I have no clue where you got that sex fact from...but I can assure you...” You swallow hard when he is quick to grab both your wrists with one hand and pin them above you. His other hand gently cups your hot cheek and his fingertips dance down your jaw and neck.
He taps your chest to the same beat as your racing heart.
“It’s not true.”,he tilts his head with his grin growing,”In some cases.”
You feel chills run up your spine and your chest rises and falls with each breath. You looked up at Alastor and narrowed your eyes.
You’ve read this scenario so many times before. But now being in it you realized just how fucked you were. You were in actual Hell with some of the worst people you’d ever watched or read about. Now Alastor was showing you that some things written in your world were not true here.
You could only begin to imagine what else is wrong.
“Get off of me.”,you say with a stern tone while looking into his almond shaped red eyes. In a mere second you find yourself able to breath, Alastor having disappeared off of you. You let out a shaky sigh as you slowly sit up and rub your wrists.
Your eyes fall to Alastor fixing his attire with his usual smile,”It was a pleasure to meet you, (Y/N)! I can only assume you will be a very entertaining woman. Till next time.” With a slight bow he disappears once more.
Leaving you in the room alone you place a hand over your racing chest and swallow hard.
//Of all things to not be true about him that had to be it...not the cannibalism or murder part...jesus...//
