Chapter 10 - Purgatory
Chapter written by Villains' Bad Girl
"Why do we have to go to Hell so early?" Peter whined.
"Because I am not leaving my babies to rot in hell", Barbara said.
Brian and Barbara had woken everyone up at 3 am to start their descent into hell. The Griffins were angry, not having gotten enough sleep. Briana and Ollie were about to nod off and go back to sleep.
"This is it", Brian said. "We're going to hell."
"Can we go back to bed?" Ollie sleepily asked.
"No", Barbara said. "We're leaving now. Here."
She tossed one of Peter's Red Bull drinks to everyone to help wake them up. Jair and Matt waited for everyone to be awake and alert so they could start their descent.
"So what now?" Lois asked. "How are we getting to hell?"
"I don't know", Brian said. "Satan sucked Jenny and Marcus through the TV."
"That's where we come in", Matt said.
He looked at Jair looked at each other and smiled. The two young puppies put the family in a circle.
"Close your eyes", Jair said. "Don't want you guys to go blind."
"Blind?" Peter asked. "What are you talking about?"
Jair and Matt stood in the center of the circle and smiled as they closed her eyes. A bright, blinding light appeared between the two brothers, making everyone close their eyes…except for Peter who watched the light shine between the two of them, engulfing the whole family.
"My eyes!" he screamed covering them. "I can't see!"
Jair and Matt opened their eyes, keeping their hands clasped together. Hell was a dangerous place, even for angels. There was no guarantee that they would be tempted to change into demons themselves.
"Okay, this is our first stop."
The Griffins opened their eyes and gasped when they looked around. They recognized this place, having been there before. They were in Limbo.
"What are we doing here?" Briana asked. "I thought we were going to hell?"
"Ever read Dante's Inferno?" Jair asked.
Peter, Chris and Meg looked at each other and shrugged. What did Dante's Inferno have anything to do with going to Hell? Matt sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Jenny and Marcus are in the fifth level of Hell", he explained. "Dante's Inferno shows we have to go through each level of hell if we have to get there. This is Limbo, or purgatory. This is the first level of Hell."
"Whoo!" Chris cheered. "Road trip!"
"We're warning you", Jair said. "Going through the levels of Hell is not going to be a walk in the park. You're going to see a lot of things that will scar you for life. You will see the different punishments of hell suited to the sins of the people."
"Mom, we're scared", Briana said.
Barbara and Brian looked at their kids and held onto them tightly.
"This is the circle of hell reserved for people who never accepted god into their heart or have never been baptized. Dad, you almost ended up here."
Brian looked at everyone feeling awkward. Everyone knew he was an atheist and were very surprised that he didn't come here. Everyone walked together as they walked through the first level of Hell, looking at the many people who were there. It wasn't good, but it wasn't bad, either. This was just their first stop on their way to the fifth circle of hell.
