New PC, so I should pump some more of these chapters soon.

Anyway, here's chapter.

Alastor had gotten better.

He was still struggling with some aspects such as the cravings of the drug on occasion. In the meantime, Molly could trust him enough to leave him to his own devices.

Currently, both of them were laying on the sofa for the past few minutes. Molly remained still as Alastor laid down on her lap. She carressed his ear tufts, which made tremble slightly. Both of them were watching television, since there wasn't a lot of things that either of them had to do.

Molly had tackled the recent Extermination and was allowed to take a mandatory break from it all. She decided to spend the break with Alastor, who was slowly healing.

"Dear?" Alastor slurred.

"Yes, Alastor?" Molly replied, "You want me to stop?"

"No.. but can I get up please?" Alastor said.

In response, Molly stopped her action and pulled him upright, and Alastor chuckled. The radio host looked at her with some awe in his eyes.

He scooted his way over to her, and leaned against her, to which Molly smiled, and positioned herself and Alastor into a comfortable cuddling position.

For a while, they hugged each other in the warm air of the home. It was still snowing outside, but forecasts stated that snowfall will soon dissipate in the coming months.

Alastor remained clutched tight around Molly, with each other's warmth enveloping one another.

"Molls?" Alastor suddenly perked up in a soft tone.

She laughed quietly, "Hm?"

"When I go, you'll visit me right?" Alastor asked.

"Of course, Al. I will try to take as much oppurtunities to meet with you." Molly stated, "Even if it gets us in trouble."

The deer laughed at that, before he continued to hug Molly again.

Embraced within each other, she took out her phone and fiddled around it for a specific video.

Alastor took notice of this and made his way so that he was able to see her phone.

"What are you trying to find?" Alastor asked.

"My brother, Anthony, celebrated New Year's with his friend Cherri, exploding fireworks at one of the city parks." Molly said, "He recorded everything on his phone, and posted it to social media."

Looking at her phone, they were able to see what he wound up recording.

It depicted Angel Dust in his spider form, shakily holding his camera around.

"Alright, fuckos!" Anthony exclaimed into the camera, "We've got something special for all of you!"

"Sailor mouth." Alastor murmured.

The video showed a massive line of boxes, with Cherri Bomb looking to make sure that they were all in order. Then, Angel Dust popped his face into the camera.

"You ready?" Angel Dust asked enthusiastically.

Molly had recorded this video straight from social media, so there was a wall of comments stating that they were ready.

Soon enough, Cherri and Angel Dust began to light the boxes, one by one with a lighter. Once all of the fuses had been lit, the duo ran as far as they could with the camera getting a shaky mess of a video.

Once they were far enough, the sounds of fireworks echoed across the park, and the camera managed to pan into a steady shot of the rainbow coloured fireworks.

Both of them cheered in response, and the wall of comments exploded. All of them were about as entranced in the colourful dissonance.

Alastor remained silent which made Molly wonder what he was thinking.

"You enjoyed it?" Molly asked.

"I did." Alastor murmured, "Just a bit in awe."

Molly chuckled, "You want something to eat?"

"Not yet." Alastor stated, as he positioned himself over her, and laid his head on her breasts.

She blushed heavily, "H-hey.."

"Comfy.." Alastor slurred, before wrapping her in his arms and drifting off into sleep.

Obviously, they weren't going to go anywhere any time soon, but Molly promptly made herself comfortable and closed her eyes.

Next thing they knew, the pair were fast asleep, completely unaware of what was to come.

Angel Dust knew that this was coming.

The hotel staff decided to visit him, but they weren't all aware that Cherri had also wound up in Heaven.

She had been staying over in his apartment for a few days but since the Hazbin staff were visiting, they decided to make some food for all of them.

For the past few hours, both Angel Dust and Cherri shared their personal stories within Heaven while the hotel staff enjoyed the cuisines Anthony cooked for all of them.

Over those conversation, Anthony took notice that Charlie was minding her business as if she was busy thinking about something.

While Baxter and Vaggie were asking about Cherri's experience within Purgatory, Anthony made his way to the princess who was out of it.

"Hey, Charlie?" Angel Dust whispered, catching her attention, "Can we talk for a sec?"

The princess nodded with a smirk and stood up from their spot. Walking towards Anthony's personal bedroom, Charlie looked at him with worry.

"Angel? Is something wrong?" Charlie asked.

"I've been thinking on how I should tell any of you on this topic, but I guess I should do it now." Angel Dust stated sheepishly.

"What is it?" Charlie inquired.

"Alastor."

The princess's eyes widened as Anthony made his way over to his personal desk and sat down in his chair.

"You've met him?" Charlie said, surprised.

Angel Dust nodded, "Well, I did."

"Is he okay?" Charlie asked.

"Well.. I'm not sure, my sis hasn't told any updates about him yet." Angel Dust stated.

Charlie blinked rapidly in response, and the former pornstar realized what he said. He wanted to hit himself for spilling that out.

"W-what..." Charlie blurted out.

"Charlie, I can explain.." Angel Dust stated, "Just let me.."

"Hold on." Charlie said suddenly, "Your sister.. who I'm pretty sure is an Exterminator.. is with Alastor?"

"Um, yes?" Angel Dust replied sheepishly, "You met her?"

"I did. Her name is Molly, right?" Charlie said, "We met during the tour and she thanked me for redeeming you."

Angel Dust couldn't help but smile a bit when he heard that, "Yeah, she always looked out for me."

"But she's with Alastor?" Charlie asked with a faint smile, "Like dating or.."

"Um.. well, they are dating. Both of them are quite happy, in fact." Angel Dust said, "You want me to say everything?"

"Please do." Charlie said.

For the next few minutes, Angel Dust laid out what he gathered from his experience of Heaven. Charlie seemed to know certain parts of the story, but everything that occurred in paradise was foreign to her. Topics ranged from the time Alastor's mother tortured her son to the time the radio host and the spider's sister began dating.

Albeit the princess reacted negatively when Angel Dust talked about the encounter he had with Alastor, in which he wound up stabbing the radio host.

"You stabbed him?" Charlie hissed.

"He healed, and I managed to get better." Angel Dust said back, "Plus, we're on better terms now."

"Is he fine now?" Charlie asked.

"Well, not really." Angel Dust said softly, "He wound up relapsing."

Charlie covered her mouth in surprise, before she tried to speak up.

"He what..?" she squeaked.

"The fucker relapsed into drugs, but we were fortunately catch him and make him heal." Angel Dust said, "Molly and his parents are rehabilitating him, so Al's gonna be fine."

"Okay, that's great." Charlie said, "Should we visit him?"

"Smiles is pretty free nowadays, but you better do it before end of Feb. He's going off to be an Exterminator soon."

"Yeah." Charlie trailed off, "I've read his file over in the tour. He'll be gone for a while, right?"

Angel Dust scoffed, "A while? He's gonna be gone for a minimum of 4 years."

"R-really?" Charlie said, "That's a shame. For all of you up here."

"I'm fine with him going off doing his own thing, since it's better than Heaven under his control." Angel Dust stated.

Charlie laughed, "Yeah, it's better than that."

Fortunately, Angel Dust was willing to tell everyone in the hotel staff everything.

Everyone reacted a bit differently, but all of them were eager to meet Alastor in the near future. Cherri also let in some insight since she also heard about the news.

Charlie on the other hand was thinking about something else.

You see, Angel Dust had secretly told her that Alastor had wound up relapsing from Lucifer, who was in Heaven for a different thing, but decided to take advantage of the situation.

Once each of the hotel staff had learned everything about Alastor's current condition and finished Angel Dust's cuisines, they embarked on their journey home via the locomotives of paradise.

The princess was unsure how to react to all of this as with everyone. Especially Mimzy and Niffty who seemed a bit jealous at the fact that Alastor had a girlfriend now.

In about an hour, they managed to get back into their humble abode, even with the somewhat larger snowfall. Once all of them cleansed themselves, everyone decided to cook for dinner.

Vaggie was helping with whatever was available to her, while everyone else was focusing on their own cooking.

As for Charlie, she had been trying to call someone special.

She was grateful that Heaven had gifted her a telephone for her to call her parents back down in Hell since she needed to talk with them.

Eventually, she managed to get a hold on her mother.

"Hello?" Lilith's voice said through the phone.

"Mom." Charlie said sheepishly.

"Charlie." Lilith replied enthusiastically, "How are you?"

"Great, I just wanted to ask if everything is okay." Charlie stated.

Lilith suddenly sighed, which made Charlie tense.

"Well, not everything is fine and dandy here as much as it is up there." Lilith stated, "Your father was injured in the Extermination this year."

"Huh? Is he okay?" Charlie asked, a bit exasperated.

"Lucifer was hurt pretty badly, but he's healing right now." Lilith said, "He's been attacked by Exterminators before, so this isn't new to him."

Charlie remembered the first time she saw her father wounded when she was a child, so she shivered a bit at that thought.

"May I speak to him?" Charlie asked.

"Sure." Lilith said.

The sound of footsteps echoed through the line, and Charlie could hear Lilith speaking to someone. After a while, she finally received a coherent message.

"Hello?"

"Dad, it's me." Charlie said.

Lucifer chuckled, "It's good to hear you again. How are you?"

"I'm just fine, but Mom told me that you got hurt in the Extermination." Charlie stated.

"Heh, yeah. One managed to skewer in the stomach, and I was barely able to get into safety. At least I'm immune to their attacks." Lucifer stated.

Charlie couldn't help but realize something had in fact happened, but she passed it off for now.

"You okay?" Charlie asked.

"I'm healing, but I'm great, Lilith is beside me everyday." Lucifer mused, "Hope you're doing well in Heaven."

The princess sighed, "Of course, but Dad.. I want to talk about something."

Silence fell over the line, before Lucifer managed to say a response.

"It's about Alastor, isn't it?" Lucifer asked.

In response, Charlie sighed, "Yeah, it is. I know what you did to him."

Lucifer remained silent for a moment, before letting out a sigh,

"Well, how is he?"

"Erm, I haven't seen him yet." Charlie said, "But I don't think I should now, should I?"

"Hmph. I feel like you want answers, don't you?" Lucifer taunted,"But I'm not in the position to do so, dear."

Charlie breathed heavily through the phone, "I think I already know why you would do that to Alastor, because you're the devil." she hissed.

"You know me well, dear." Lucifer stated, "Though, I don't wish to sour your vacation. So, you know what you have to do, right?"

"Of course, Dad." Charlie said, "Thanks alot."

She swiftly ended the call, and buried her face into one of the pillows on her bed. Charlie wanted to scream into it but would definitely catch everyone's attention.

Then, the door to the room opened and she removed the pillow off of her face. Vaggie was peeking into the room, probably to call Charlie to eat. But the moth noticed the princess's facial expression and approached her.

"Hon?" Vaggie called out.

"Yes?" Charlie responded softly.

"Is something wrong?" Vaggie asked.

Charlie ultimately sighed, "I'll tell you about it."

The princess spilled out everything to Vaggie, which made her shocked for the most part. Charlie managed to heave out a sigh of relief, the tension within her somewhat alleviated.

Vaggie ultimately placed a hand on Charlie's shoulder and looked at her solemnly. The princess sighed deeply, now being a bit more calm.

"Charlie, I.."

"It's okay, Vags." Charlie said, "Dinner's ready, right?"

"Um, yeah. Are you okay enough to eat food?"

"Don't worry, I can stomach some food." Charlie said.

"You sure?" Vaggie stated.

Charlie gave a smirk, "I'm sure."
