Harry was trying his best to hold in his laughter but he wasn't really succeeding, what was making him act this way you may ask, well at some point last night after the dinner, Angel had waited until he and Alastor were asleep before coming in. He then proceeded to put a bow on Alastor's tail and then sneak into Harry's bed to cuddle him through the night, once Harry awoke he escaped Angel's grasp.
He then took Angel back to his own room and then went to make breakfast, once done he woke up the rest of the hotel residents and that was when he finally saw the bow and what has led to his current predicament.
So while everyone else was focused on the delicious meal of waffles, bacon, and eggs Harry was busy watching Alastor for when he finally noticed the strange sensation since he never fully wakes up till after his first coffee.
But while he focused on Alastor he didn't notice that Charlie, Vaggie, and Angel where all taking glances at him and having a quiet conversation about what to do.
"So does anyone know what's up with Harry I mean it kind of worries me that a child would fall into hell for anything short of suicide but from what I can tell he didn't take his life it was ended by his cruel family." Charlie asked with a worried and frightened tone as she continued her nervous chewing of her meal.
"Sorry hun but I couldn't find anything from any one and I tried everything I could and all I'm sensing from Harry is the normal pure energy of youth and the taint of hell that has set in over time." Vaggie couldn't believe that no one knew anything and she had turned over many rocks cashed in many favors and threatened more than a few people but still nothing it worried her.
"I may not have your connects but I still couldn't make anyone give me anything useful even after they fucked me for hours." Angel exclaimed exasperated with the not only the lack of information but the lack of good cock too.
Charlie gave Angel the disappointed look tm while Vaggie glared at him but refrained from commenting about Angels activities, but while they were doing this none noticed the small black puddle of ooze slinking along the floor.
Niffty was busy talking off Husker's ear while he chugged at his bottle ignoring her when he glanced at the floor for the next bottle since the rest of the hotel didn't want Harry to see how bad his habit was.
But upon doing so he saw the puddle moving towards Harry. "Look out kid." He bolted forward as quick as his wings and legs could push him causing all in the dining hall to jump up, but even with his warning and trying to push Harry out of the way the puddle still managed to get Harry. Once the puddle touched him Harry felt a jolt as if he had socked himself, then slowly something in his chest began to awaken and move, grow, finally he felt the pain, as if his entire body had been set ablaze from the inside.
While Harry was screaming and flailing on the ground the rest watched unsure of what to do as the puddle finished covering Harry from head to tail tip, Alastor was beside himself because he had tried to remove the ooze but had only hurt harry instead of it.
Charlie didn't know what it was so she couldn't tell if it fell under her control, Vaggie was worried about hitting Harry just like Angel since they could only use their weapons, Niffty tried to see if her duster could remove it but only broke the duster.
Husker felt as if he failed, even if he acted like he didn't care this was a kid with a pure soul who shouldn't have been here in the first place so he was beside himself with grief and hate for not just the situation but for himself for not getting to the kid in time before it got to him.
Soon enough the ooze began to solidify seemingly becoming clothing, color started to add to the black and soon enough before them was a small gorgon creature in a full body suit in black with some red white and some small emerald green. It looked like Harry was wearing pants with a long red duster coat, a buckle adorned his new pants with an Emerald skull and red eyes, his shirt seemed to be a part of his duster, with only the color of the shirt to separate it from the duster, but had a large circular face with white being the predominate color on it and emerald eyes with a red border.
His duster seemed to have chains coming out of it that seemed to float in the air with wicked looking blades on the end, finally from his nose down his face was covered in what appeared to be a bandanna with white seeming to run up from his jaw and heading to his eyes.
Upon his head was a large brim Stetson with a skull on a chain on the inside of the brim but unlike the other skull the eyes had emerald flames pouring forth from its sockets and its mouth open in a silent scream of rage.
It seemed to stare at everyone around the room before the flames dimmed, once everyone got over the shock of Harry's transformation they quickly rushed to his side to check on him, but before any of them could reach him the chains on his duster came to life and hissed at them.
All but Alastor jumped back in fright. "What the fuck is that and what the fuck are those things what did they do to my cuddle buddy!?" Angel exclaimed in both rage and confusion.
The others began to voice their own confusion and anger at the situation, all except Alastor, he merely stared back at the living chains with a sinister smile that almost was a snarl before he grasped his fist alighting it and his eyes with power.
"You have two options you slithering liquid shit, you can give me back my son and I kill you quickly or I rip you off him and torture you until I feel you have paid for this transgression so which will it be?"
As this was going on Harry was trying to get over the pain he had just felt, thanks to his high pain tolerance he was able to take the sudden and quick amount of pain he had just felt until it end.
Now he was just taking mental stock of himself to see if anything broke or had gone missing while he hadn't been in focus of the things around him, as he did so he noticed a few things different.
The first was that nothing felt right, his muscles and bones felt bigger, longer, and stronger, then there was the fact he felt clothes that didn't match what he had been wearing before which had been a simple shirt and kilt.
The next thing he notices was something inside his chest that seemed to create a sort of buzzing and when he focused on it became more pronounced, the final thing he noticed was something that felt like it was connecting him to his clothes and it was alive.
This alarmed him at first because of the amount of time he spent in hell taught him if it is alive and not Alastor it usually means him harm, if it wasn't for the fact he could feel it connected to something inside him he would have tried to remove it instantly.
But as he began to focus on it more he began to feel what it was feeling and as he began to connect with it even more without realizing it sent him a memory.
[Flashback]
As it began to move away from the primordial pit it had just been formed from it was quickly captured and placed in a strange object that it couldn't escape from, as it tried it heard something but couldn't understand the meaning of what it heard.
"K9-Vanna necro-plasm has fully manifested and appears stable we will keep it contained until we can be certain it will survive and then find her a host, as with other neural parasites it will need one soon enough for supplements only make it last a fortnight. Further testing may be required to see if it can survive longer on the supplements then other."
[End Flashback]
As harry came back to himself he felt more then heard the voices around him before he realized what was going on he heard Alastor's voice. "…my son and I kill you quickly or I rip you off him and torture you until I feel you have paid for this transgression so which will it be?"
"How about we leave the neural parasite alone while it's connected to said son, I think we both would appreciate that thanks." Harry grumbled out which led to the entire room stopping and the sighing in relief at Harry begging to sit up.
"It's alright Vanna their all good you don't have to worry about them just let me talk to them while they check me over so do you mind backing off for a second?" Harry felt her reluctance but watched as the floating chains lowered themselves down before retreating back into the duster.
As soon as the chains were gone Alastor instantly swept Harry into his arms and hugged him with almost bone breaking force before holding him out at arm's length and checking him over, Harry smiled at this and let him have it.
Once Alastor had finished he looked Harry right in the eyes and simply said. "Explain."
So Harry began with what happened when he first got covered in Vanna and then what he had learned from the neural parasite, this at first angered then disturbed them before concerning them before leading to confusion.
"So wait it's alive and living off of you but you can feel it even if it's not trying to let you, so does that make you the big spoon and it the little spoon?" Angel smirked at his joke will Vaggie rolled her eyes and smacked the back of his head.
"But where did it come from and why attach to you what was the point?" Charlie was still confused about the whole thing but was less worried now that it wasn't trying to kill Harry.
"*sigh* She came from somewhere here in hell, the reason she chose me from the memories I gathered is she needed a host or she would die why and to what point I don't know since I only got the one memory about what she is and what it means for me now."
As they talked Alastor had never let Harry go the entire time while they talked just making sure nothing else would happen to him, he was hoping that no one would bring up the slip of the tongue or he may have to start some trouble.
But as he sat there he noticed that the skull on Harry's hat began to move as if it was watching the conversation and not only managing t keep up but also was understanding they were talking about it. He quickly tossed that thought away since Harry had just told them it was a fairly simple creature, but Alastor wished he could remove it from Harry and just destroy it for causing him so much pain.
"Could you all address her as a her please she is sentient and has emotions even if she can't talk she can still hear you." The others seemed skeptical of this but agreed to keep Harry happy.
As Harry was saying this he wished Vanna could talk so that he wasn't the only one that knew what she wanted and he could already tell that just feeling her emotions wouldn't make it easy to work with her in the future.
"So now that we have covered most of this what should we do with her should we see if we can remove her or is Harry stuck with her the rest of his afterlife cause that might be a problem on his date nights when he goes to finish the date properly." Angel waggled his eyebrows with everyone waiting for Vaggie to smack him.
"I would like it if I could be a part of this bit since it would affect me most directly."
Everyone froze before turning to look at Harry and there hovering above his right shoulder was a chain with a skull on the end with glowing emerald eyes.
Cliffhanger, so what did you think liked it hate it, now I have a challenge for you guy's, without looking it up what thing am I referencing when I brought in the parasite, if you can do this without looking it up.
