Chapter 7: Home Sweet Home

"Do you have anywhere safe to stay, Ms. (Name)?" She questioned, her eyes had a hint of worry in them, which concerned you and Alastor.

"N-No?"

"Any family nearby?"

"No, I don't," You grew more concerned and confused, what did that index card say? Why wasn't she telling you?

"Well we're gonna need to close off the area while we investigate further. I'm afraid you can't stay here, it's not safe for you," She said, placing the index card into an evidence bag, turning on her heel and preparing to walk away.

"May I ask why? What did that index card say?" You stood from your spot and questioned her, your expression was that of worry and panic.

The detective sighed. "I'm afraid I can't tell you that right now, ma'am," She answered, walking away and back to her colleagues, handing them the bag which contained the card.

You sat back next to Alastor in defeat, groaning at the lack of information the police were giving you. "Not like it's my house that was robbed, I guess." You complained, placing a hand on your forehead and rubbing it.

"What am I gonna do, Al? I have nowhere to go," You slapped your hand back down on your lap, looking up at the man who was already looking at you, giving you a small, sympathetic smile.

"Well my dear, you could stay with me," He stood, handing Princess back to you before dusting the fur off of himself.

"Really? You'd be okay with that?" You asked, looking up at him in surprise.

"Of course, sweetheart! It's no problem at all, I'll help you with anything you need," He smiled at you, bending down to help you up as you held Princess.

"O-okay then," You stuttered, still slightly unsure about the offer. You weren't complaining though, it was your only choice at the moment.

"Now, let's go pack some of your things and get Princess ready for the trip," He said, keeping a hand around your waist as you walked up the stairs and into your home, where officers were still wandering and taking notes.

Alastor had already loaded up the trunk full of your things you had packed which had consisted of a couple of suitcases of clothes and other necessities. Princess was in her carrier in the backseat along with a bag of her food, and small bucket of her litter. Meanwhile, you sat in the front passenger seat, watching as Alastor spoke with Detective Hayes one last time before he made his way back to the vehicle and opening the door to the drivers seat.

Alastor groaned a bit as he took his seat. "Well, they said they'd keep us updated about the situation and when you can come back home," He explained, putting the keys in the ignition and starting the car.

"Okay," You whispered with a small nod, looking ahead of you as the vehicle began slowly rolling forward. And so the two of you set off to your new home.

On the trip to Alastor's, a silence had fallen between the two of you. Neither of you knew what to say, both of you were lost in thought and a bit in shock from what had happened. Plus, it was nearly 2am by the time all was said and done with the authorities, so naturally you were both very worn out.
