The Human Soul Chapter 7: The Nightmare, a hazbin hotel fanfic

Before you read this Chapter

I just would like to say one thing…

Thank you all. For your kind words.

When I was making that little message at the bottom of that last chapter.

I felt like nobody was gonna read my story after that. Or would say hurtful things.

I was heavily leaning towards not even writing that in the first place.

Cause I had a small idea of how people treat SELF INSERT'S.

Like people did not like them or find it annoying. It's rare to me to even find Self Insert's in the first place. In any fandom.

But I went ahead and did it anyway. I thought that after I posted that message. No one would read my stuff anymore.

But to my Surprise…

You guys blasted me with such kind reviews. Your words, made me feel so happy

I felt…Blessed.

I feel really Blessed that I have you guys. Reading and commenting on my stuff.

I really do…

So again, from the bottom of my heart…I just wanna say…

Thanks…for everything.

…

Now onto the story. I know you guys have been wanting a chapter about the whole meet up with the rest after the Hazbin Crew.

And it will come. I promise.

It's just that I had this idea for the past couple of weeks before I posted the last chapter.

And I wanted to make it so.

I just hope…I nailed this… Cause this Chapter is probably my longest and ambitious one yet. With over 9000 + words. I really hope I nailed this Chapter for you guys.

Enjoy.

…

The Nightmare

A lot of things can contribute to a nightmare. Guilt and Stress are just two of the many contributing factors.

…

My Pov.

…

With my prayer finished. I got up from my knees and closed the curtains on my window.

I looked back down at my chain. Then to my right hand with the curse mark.

I wrapped my chain around my right hand and let the cross rest on the center of the mark.

Then waited.

…

"…Nothing…" I sighed

Dammit I thought that would work.

But then again, nothing is that easy.

I unwrapped the chain from my right hand and held it up and in front of my face.

A part of me wants to keep this out. Another part wanted me to put it away.

A dark though crossed my mind at moment.

Considering this is Hell. Any and all Religious related things, are probably considered a crime.

Punishable by death…or fates worth than death.

If Charlie's dad or some type of law enforcement sees this…I am fucked.

'Is there law enforcement down here?

Charlie's dad did say he had to keep some type of law down here.'

Yeah…

How does that work?

Well…to be fair I am in a world that do not know how things work around here. I doubt it's like Earth. Or at least to some extent.

You know, come to think of it, did it get dark outside?

It's is like what, 6 something, in the early middle of winter.

So usually, the sky gets dark around 5 o'clock.

It did look like it was getting dark out when I was exploring the 1st floor.

I walked back over to the window and peaked outside again.

The sky, did in fact, changed. Since I was looking at heaven I forgot about the rest of Hell.

The Pentagram in the sky was not as bright, but rather dim. The red sky was now a dark red, more like a wine red/blood red. A black moon was high in the sky.

And to my surprise…

"…Stars…?" I whispered out.

That's was something I was not expecting. It looked…nice, and the city…due to the lights from the buildings. It gave off this beautiful red glow. The street lights were on too.

Hell, or not, it was breathtaking.

That being said. I closed the curtains again. My thoughts going back to my cross and chain.

I then looked to the door and spotted something that I did not see before. Or rather did not acknowledge/

A hook…on the door. A coat hooks.

An idea came to my mind, as I walked towards the door. I reached up, and was about to place the chain around the hook.

But I stopped.

Instead… I once again wrapped the chain around both my hands, after making the cross, I made a quick prayer.

"Dear God, please protect me, please protect me from any and all evil magic. No dark magic shall enter this room. This is my sanctuary, let no dark arts enter this room, protect me while I sleep, and protect me, until I finally get back home…Amen"

With that said. I wrapped the chain tightly around the hook, but make it so that at least the cross is hanging perfectly straight.

Now I just need to cover it, so it won't look suspicious.

Lucky for me, I have a shit ton of hoodies.

…

I love hoodies, what do you want from me?

…

I decided to use 3.

A black thin one with no sleeves, a grey one with short sleeves, and one that had my high school logo on it.

In that order and on the hook, it perfectly covered it, no one who ever suspect it.

Now that that's been taking care of…

…What now?

Usually when im bored, I always Instinctively grab my phone and hop on Youtube or whatever and find something, but realizing that I was connected to Earth's internet.

I also remember my router and consoles, also connected to earth.

Yeah… I know what I was going to do right.

I put my phone back in my pocket.

Turned on the Tv

Turned on the PlayStation 4, grabbed the controller, and sat down in my chair.

'I have to remind myself, to ask Charlie about all this, how am I still connected.

Im not question it, It's a blessing in right now.

But enough about worrying and shit.

Time for some Modern Warfare…'

Before I started up the game, I checked for any updates for the game.

Unfortunately for me, there was a System Software update, an update for Modern Warfare, and also for two other games I had

'Of course, just my luck… Well to be fair I was out for a few days…'

Not wasting anytime, I quickly updated the System, and that only took a minute.

'Thank God'

But the Update for Modern Warfare was going to take at least 10 minutes.

'…great…'

So now, im back to doing absolutely nothing, there is nothing going on, on the internet… no funny videos ether, and no-good memes. Just trash right now.

In my bored state, with nothing to do, I was thinking about putting the PS4 in rest mode, for the updates.

But Suddenly…

I noticed at the top left corner of my screen… a notification popped up.

A notification…that my friend was ONLINE.

"Oh hey… my friend is online…" I said in a monotone voice

…

*REALIZATION*

'…HOLY SHIT MY FRIEND IS ONLINE!

Communication with the Surface…I can let him know im alive!'

Without wasting anytime, I just to the messages on my PS4. This is the only way I can have contact with someone, since my phone can do any calls or messages.

But since im sill connected to the internet, this is the only way.

As soon as the message room opened.

I quickly started spamming…

HEY

CAN YOU READ ME

CAN YOU SEE THIS

ITS ME, JUSTIN

IM ALIVE

…

What felt like an eternity… My heart stopped when I saw the three dots appear.

'Please…Please…PLEASE!'

And then…

…

…Justin?

I sighed with relief. "OH, THANK FUCKING GOD" I half shouted.

I quickly picked up the controller. And typed out my response.

…

For Personal Reasons this friend will only be known as 'M'

…

J: Yeah, it me

M: Where r u?

J: you won't believe me if I told you.

M: Dude, where, r, u.

…

J: … Hell

…

M: Dude, stop fucking joking with me

J: IM DEAD SERIOUS KID.

M: Bullshit

J: No, it's not

M: Prove it

…

How can I? It's not like I have a PlayStation camera or anything like that.

My friend wants proof, but how?

I grabbed my phone.

I can't send anything through text.

I then realized something, that complexly slipped my mind.

The PlayStation App. I can take a picture and send it through there.

I wonder if it will work though?

I quickly opened the app and headed straight to the messages.

I quickly saw on the top the message room that me and my friend were currently using.

I opened it up and typed a message to my friend.

J: ok, im using the app right now, im gonna try to send you a picture, hopefully this works.

Once I get to the camera, I quickly realized that it could only take photos and no videos.

Even if I had video in my photos, it would not let me use it.

Fuck, there goes that idea.

I decided to take selfie, and also show the curse mark on the back of my hand.

Here goes nothing, hopefully this goes through

*Send*

Come on, come on, come on, go through…please…

…

*SENT*

Oh, thank god.

M: What's that on your hand.

J: Curse mark, can't come home unless this is removed.

M: Oh…Dude this is stupid, im gonna call u, cause sending text is boring.

J: Don't Bother I tried calling my parents and there is no connection.

M: Damm, but how are you talking to me right now?

J: Dude I don't know, and I don't care, I still connected to the internet. Thank god

M: How are you even talking to me right now, are you in someone's house or something?

J: im in a hotel right now.

M: A hotel in hell?

J: Yep

…

M: Yo send me a pic really quick of the outside.

J: K

…

I walked over to the window and took a picture of my hand against the glass to prove that this was not made up, and I was not lying.

I then put my phone sideways, and against the glass, and snapped a quick picture of the city.

*SENT*

M: Wow, I was not expecting that.

J: I know, surprised me too.

M: Hold up. how are you in a hotel, it's not like you have money to stay there.

J: Im staying with the princess of Hell.

M: Who?

J: The Daughter of Lucifer…

M: Really…is she hot?

J: Yep, and she is cute.

M: There you go, ask her out.

J: Can't. she has a girlfriend.

M: Damm.

J: Eh whatever. But Charlie is super nice and sweet. She is letting me stay here in her hotel until she can find a way to break this curse, and send me home

M: OK… how is she nice, when she is the devils kid?

J: Don't know and don't care. She is very nice.

M: have you meet the devil?

J: Even he could not do nothing about my mark. Charlie probably has to be the one to remove it. To be honest, I don't trust her father at all, says he going to try to find to remove it. but I know well enough not to trust him. I trust Charlie more.

M: How long you think you will be there?

J: Who knows. Could be a few weeks, or months, I hope.

…

J: Quick question? How did you realize I was missing?

M: dude it's all over the news.

J: What news?

M: Here I will send you a screenshot

In a few seconds I revied a photo over the app.

I opened it, and I was at a loss for words.

What appeared to be a photo taken from a helicopter, of my house.

Part of the house, which was where my room was. Was completely gone.

Since my house had a basement. In what appeared to be another picture was the Magne Family logo that was burned into the floor.

Then I read the headlines.

…

House Partially Destroyed

Demonic Symbols found

Son Missing

Parents, family, and friends left in worry

NO BODY FOUND

…

…Well shit, my parents must be so fucking worried now…

I started typing my messages.

J: Shit now what do we do?

M: IDK what do you want me to do.

J: well, I don't wanna worry my parents. But we can't show the pictures sent you to the police.

The world would be fucking freak out, knowing Hell is Real

…

Or they would probably forget in two weeks, as with most things on the news, and people.

…

M: No shit, so wat you want me to do

J: For now, let's just keep quiet about this, and delete this chat. I may not be able to call, but I can still you the internet for some reason.

M: Ok, and let's chat over something else, using my controller to type is fucking annoying.

J: Yeah. Let's no use our consoles. Im try to contact you over social media. If I can't. Be back to using this… real quick what time and day is it by you.

M: It's WENSDAY. And like 9:30 PM over here, why?

…

I went to the home screen of my phone to check the dat.

It was Wednesday, The 1st of January.

Then I checked the clock, that's when I noticed it.

It was 6:30 PM

Am I in fucking Las Vegas or something, im on West Coast Time? The FUCK.

J: It's all good, except my phone says 6:30. Like am on the West Coast.

M: That's fucking weird

J: I know Vegas is SIN city, but this is ridiculous. XD

M: Imagine Right. That's Fucking funny.

J: Imagine this city is located right under Nevada. That would be fucking funny.

M: Anyways I'll talk to you later. I just wanted to check something, and them im going to bed.

J: Ok, and remember, delete this Chat, and I'll try to contact you over something else. Cause this is stupid.

M: Stay Safe Kid.

J: I'll be fine, go get some sleep, I'll probably contact you tomorrow or something. Then we can discuss things tomorrow.

M: Later Kid.

…

END OF CHAT

…

With that. My friend was offline

Just back to me now.

I started thinking, about, well, just about everything really.

My family is so worried about me, but I can't show them pictures of Hell.

But I want them to know im alive. Of course, I could send a photo of myself. Let them know.

Another question I gotta keep reminding myself was the internet, I can save that for when Charlie stop's by.

So many more question ran through my mind.

I then got a sound notification that my game was done downloading the update.

But with all these thoughts running through my head.

It just killed the mood.

Now, sitting here in silence. With nothing but the hum of my PlayStation, and the air coming from the vent.

Just…thinking.

I sighed.

I looked around my room. my eyes stopped on a box that I left open.

All my posters were still there, wrapped up nice and tight.

"Well at least I can get to work on this, do that and update whatever else is on my PS4." I said to myself.

I walked over to the box, empty all my posters on the bed, walked over to my nightstand grabbed a small box full of silver tac's.

"Time to put up all these posters." I smiled softly.

Maybe this will keep my mind off things…for a while.

…

Story POV

…

Meanwhile…

Down in the employee's room

The Interview may have been a disaster. All of Hell has probably witness it by now, it's probably all over Voxtube, and all the Hellnet. And still no response from her Mother ether.

But Charlie would never give up on her dreams.

It was all a minor setback. Can't dwell on the past, got to keep moving forward.

Charlie began to recall all of the events leading up to this moment.

When Charlie and Vaggie left the News station. They had to pick up Angel Dust from a turf war with his girl buddy.

Angel, being the most notorious Pornstar in all of Hell, was living under Charlie and Vaggie's hotel for 2 weeks, keeping him clean.

Well…as clean from all the drugs and sex.

He was there first customer at the Hotel. and was making great progress.

Unfortunately for Charlie. His Turf War, was caught on live TV, during her interview. In which everything fell into a disaster that led up to Charlie becoming a laughing stock.

And also picking a fight with the news reporter after call her a 'BITCH'.

After the pickup.

The limo ride home was not any better. As Angel did not seem to care at all about his actions.

Claiming his credibility/reputation was on the line.

A shouting match was had between Vaggie and Angel for a short while, while Charlie hugged herself.

At one point in the conversation shifted.

And Charlie came out of her slump to calm her girlfriend down a reassure her.

Hey, come on. We don't know if things are over yet! Try to relax, Vaggie. I-it'll be okay!

Putting her hand on her shoulder, which Vaggie smiled back at her lover.

The walk into the lobby was less eventful.

What Charlie was excepting was full room of sinners. Was now left with emptiness. an empty lobby.

With Vaggie on the Couch and Angel cracking a joke. She decided to walk outside and call someone who supports her

Her Mom.

But was left with no answer, and instead had to leave a voicemail. Even though hearing her voice right now would bring her so much happiness.

Hey, mom. I know I keep calling and you must be busy... Really busy... But, um, the interview didn't go well, and... I don't know if I'm ever going to make a difference *starts tearing up as she wipes it off her face*. I don't know what I'm doing. I could really use some advice, mom. I... I think dad was right about me... Ahah, oof, eh, anyway... I'll stop talking before this gets long. Love you, bye...

After walking back inside Charlie leaned against the door, she sighed and closed her eyes.

Feeling like her project had hit a dead stop, with no way of recovery…

That is Until a knock came at the door.

Charlie slowly opened the door, and there he stood.

The Infamous Radio Demon

Right at her door step.

Even though Vaggie advised not letting him in. she wanted to take a chance to see what was up.

Alastor he introduced himself to the Princess, as he let himself in. Praising her wonderful 'performance' on the 'Picture Show'

Vaggie was quick to point a spear in his face. Not going to let him her anyone. As she clamed

Though Alastor did not take her threat seriously. Calming he would have done so already, while also making himself look scary.

No, Im here because I want to Help.

He spoke.

I want to help you run it.

Of course, they lead to whole conversation back and forth between the three.

Alastor was looking for entertainment, and watching people fail would be amusing to him.

He did not believe in his cause. But was will to take his offer to help.

Under the condition that there be no tricks.

He tried to make a deal; she did not it take.

Instead, she 'ordered' him to help.

After that he asked about the hotel staff, which was just her and Vaggie.

So, he decided to call in a few favors.

A small cyclops demon named Nifty, who great with cleaning, and a cat demon named Husker, or was it Husk.

Also bring with Husk, was a bar.

Which Vaggie wanted out, but Angel stopped her.

Charlie though, she smiled brightly at all the new things that came before her eyes.

Alastor followed this up with a song.

A song that was interrupted by an explosion at the front door,

By a snake demon in a giant weaponized blimp. Which Alastor handle with a snap of his fingers.

In a minute everything was taken care of as he smiled sinisterly at his work, while the rest looked on in horror.

...Well, I'm starved! Who wants some Jambalaya? My mother once showed me a wonderful recipe for Jambalaya. In fact, it nearly killed her!

He shouted with pride as if nothing happens.

…

So now here they were.

Sitting at one of the round tables as Alastor served everyone a plate of his cooking.

Charlie smiled at the food, having never tried southern food before.

Vaggie eyed the Radio Demon with suspicion

"If you are wondering dear Vagatha, if I poisoned it, don't worry, I don't stoop to that level." His smile never left his face.

Cause the only thing he can do is smile.

"Hmmph" She replied.

"Well, everyone, dig in." he said.

And so, they ate.

Everyone was eating normally.

Vaggie hate to admit it, but it was good.

Angel ate as he played with his phone.

Husk ate with some booze, and Nifty was asking for seconds already.

Alastor ate, with perfect table manners.

And Lastly Charlie ate with a big smile, and star in her eyes.

She hummed in delight. She always like trying new things. Even though it was a little spicy.

"Delicious isn't it, princess." Alastor asked.

"It's amazing, and please, call me Charlie."

"It's…Ok" Vaggie shameful admitted. With a small blush.

"Not much of fan of Southern food, but…it's the best I ever had" Angel add.

"Im glad you think so my, effeminate fellow" Alastor replied.

This is amazing

Charlie's mind was going a 100 miles per hour on her thoughts. Her smiled was wide.

Just think, if I can reform the Radio Demon and Angel Dust. All of Hell will take notice. And take my project seriously

Even if they are the toughest one yet.

With Al's help, he can really turn this Hotel into the place I always dreamed of.

Fixing things, here and there, this Hotel it's shines once again. And everything will work out perfectly.

Nothing can ruin this.

"Hey toots, can I ask you something?" Angel said, snapping Charlie out of her thoughts.

"Of course, Angel." She smiled back, as she put another spoon full in her mouth.

"…Yeah, anyways, I was looking through my phone, and see that I got a text from you. Saying something about, someone else…staying at the Hotel?"

Charlie's eyes widen, she gasps, and began coughing hard. She turns to the side as her food went flying from her mouth and to the floor.

Vaggie pat her back

Niffty quick clean up the mess in a heartbeat.

"You should learn to chew your food darling, wouldn't want to choke to death, now would we?" Alastor commented.

"Shut up Asshole." Vaggie glared eyes at the radio demon. "Honey, control your breaths" she sweetly said to Charlie.

Charlie managed to regain her composure, slowly but surely.

"You really should be more careful Ms. Charlie. Would not want to make a mess again." Niffty politely said.

"Thank you Niffty." She returned the same tone to the new maid. Her eyes now gazed back to everyone.

"Im sorry Angel, could you repeat that?"

"You said someone else is here at the Hotel" he said in an annoyed tone.

Charlie and Vaggie eyes widen.

Oh crap, I forgot about Justin

"Uh… Well… I…"

She turned to Vaggie.

"Uh, could you please excuse us. This is personal discussion." Vaggie said, rising out of her seat, grabbing Charlie on the way up.

The two of them were almost at the when Alastor stood up.

"Since we are business partners, I feel as I too should be part of this discussion"

"Fuck off this is between me and my girlfriend" Vaggie as she gave him the finger on way out. Closing the door.

Vaggie power walked with Charlie, hand in hand as they went across the hall, into the Buffet.

In they went into the Female only bathroom, turning the lights on, closing the door and locking it.

Walked into one of the stall's and also locking it.

"I completely forgot about Justin" Charlie whispered in a panic.

"Me too, I forgot about the text you sent to Angel" Vaggie whispered back. "FUCK"

"What are we going to do?"

"Well, we can't let them know…"

"Well, what can we do, we can't keep him locked up in his room forever."

"We can try to keep him safe."

"Justin is not some caged animal Vaggie, he is person, just like us."

"But who knows what can happen if they see him?"

"So, your comfortable knowing he will be trapped in his room, until we send him home?"

"I just don't trust Angel or Alastor to know, especially Alastor, who know what he will do if he finds him?"

"There is no killing in this hotel."

"That won't stop him Charlie…I feel like he would get away with it. And what would happen if the others came across Justin, even if we did not tell them, who knows what any of them would do to him? Probably…Hurt him, or worse kill him!"

"But don't forget, he has to eat, clean, and other stuff, would it not look suspicious bring him food and clean cloths all the time?"

"…Shit… I forgot about that…" Vaggie sighed "So now what?"

"What should we do…?"

Vaggie was silent for a whole minute until she gave her answer.

"Text him, and explain the situation, he will give us an answer"

"Ok…"

Charlie took her phone out and opened the Messages app and created new message. She used the microphone.

"Hey Justin, it's me Charlie… a situation has come up and I need an answer from you."

…

Justin: What is it?

Charlie: Well, we have some new staff at the hotel now, just 3 people, and of course, our other guest… I was wondering if you would be ok, with meeting them.

…

J: Are they dangerous?

C: Well… Yes and No

J: What does that mean?

C: Justin, there is no violence in this Hotel, so long as you are in this hotel, with me and Vaggie, no harm will come to you. I promise.

J: You PROMISE?

C: I promise.

J: But why.

C: Justin, I don't want to keep you lock in your room all the time. It would break my heart having to keep you in there all the time.

J: I mean… I don't know.

C: Even if we keep it quiet, someone would find out eventually, I mean, if we didn't tell them, and they found you…I don't want you to get hurt.

J: So, you want me to meet these peoples?

C: Yes, im sorry about this Justin, even so, if the project takes off and the Hotel starts filling up, someone will find out about you. It would be weird bring up food to your room all the time.

…

J: Ok fine, I'll do it.

C: Really?

J: Tomorrow…at Dinner…and you have to promise me, they will not hurt me…don't tell them im…well… you know…

C: Ok…from the bottom of my heart… I promise.

J: also stop by on the way up, I wanna talk to the both of you about something…

C: ok…and again, im really sorry Justin…but it looks like there is no way of hiding this for so long.

J: eh, you do what you got to do, even though, I don't mind staying in my room.

C: I would just feel really bad about it.

J: Don't worry, and Charlie….

C: Yes

J: Thank you… for everything you done for me so far…I am forever thankful

C: …your welcome Justin.

END OF CHAT

Charlie turned to Vaggie.

"Well…looks like we got our answer."

"We are gonna lay some ground rules for this, and who ever walk in our front door."

"Alright, let's go tell the others…"

The couple made their way back to the others, but instead of sitting down and finishing their meal.

They stood side by side with a determined look, as they gave their answer. The others looked at them suspiciously.

Charlie took a deep breath in…and out…

"Ok, so Angel, about the text I sent…Yes. There is someone else at this Hotel."

"Wait really, when did this happen?"

"You were gone, remember?" Vaggie answered with narrow eyes.

"Oh yeah."

"So…" Alastor began. "Where is our mystery guest, they should be joining us for dinner."

"He has already eaten Alastor. I doubt he is hungry. Besides. If you are wondering, he has agreed to meet all of you, tomorrow at dinner."

Angel Dust's eyes widen with interest, a sly smile, and a flirty look, came over his face.

"A 'He' you say" he lustful said. Running his hands through his hair and, puffing his chest. "Now you got me interested."

"Angel…DON'T. EVEN. FUCKING. START. With this shit." Vaggie growled, eyes narrowed, pointing a finger at him.

"Anyways…" Charlie shifts the conversation. Her tone becoming more serious.

…

"Let me be perfectly clear with all of you. As long as you are in this Hotel, you follow our rules. And any future guests that enter this hotel. But speaking of our other guest when you meet him.

There is no hurting him and any way, shape, or form. Not Physically, Mentally, or Emotionally."

"No threats towards him, and especially no deal with him. And he is to remain hidden from the rest of Hell. No one can know about him. And… if you hurt him…you are out of this hotel." Vaggie added.

Charlie eyes changed to her demonic red and yellow.

"Do we make ourselves clear?"

Charlie and Vaggie certainly made themselves look really threating.

The others, had small feeling of fear run through their bodies, seeing how they would go so far to protect, whoever the mystery guest was.

The slowly nodded in agreement.

"Good" they both said. Calming down.

"Now let's finish our dinner, and after we clean, we can set you up with your room's, and where you will be staying.

The others begin to wonder as they continued eating.

Who is this mysterious person?

And why keep it a secret?

…

Later

7:00 PM

…

After Dinner was done and everyone cleaned up.

Charlie and Vaggie, gave rooms to the rest of the staff to the Second floor. Niffty and Husk took separate rooms next to each other. While Alastor took a small suite.

They wanted all Staff and Employees to be close to the ground level as possible.

Angel's room was on the third floor.

Though they did not tell them where the other guest was.

Charlie and Vaggie now found themselves, on the 7th floor. Heading towards their human guest's room

…

My Pov.

…

I had just finished another great game of Ground War on Modern Warfare.

Ending the game with 63 kills and 19 deaths.

All thanks to my…Custom M4A1, Custom AK47, and Custom UZI.

"And that is how you do it. Top of the scoreboard baby. Suck it" I gave the screen my middle finger.

Now im back at the Multiplayer menu.

*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*

"Justin…it's us" I heard Charlie's voice call form the other side.

I turned the TV off.

Got to show them. After this.

I got up from my chair and walk towards the door and opened it.

"Hey guys." I said as they walked in and close the door behind them.

"Hey Justin. How are you felling?" Charlie asks with a small smile.

"Doing great. I finally put up my posters around the room, wanna see?"

"Sure" she smiled bright.

…

"Here they are" I gesture to the wall behind the dresser.

Charlie eyes widen in amazement.

The Posters I had were some of my Favorite games of all time.

On the wall was poster of

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1, 2, and 3, Black Ops 1 and 2. As well as the New Modern Warfare (2019).

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, Underground 1 and 2, Most Wanted (2005), Carbon, ProStreet, and Hot Pursuit (2010).

Mortal Kombat 9

Grand Theft Auto V

And… Def Jam Fight For NY.

"Wow" Charlie said in amazement. "Look at all the Colors" she smiled brightly.

"Thanks…I was planning on getting more but…im here so…Yeah" I gave a very short laugh at the end.

"All poster down look all the same, I never see such an array of different colors before. But I have to ask, what are these about?"

"Oh well…"

"Uh Charlie, we need to discuss something first with Justin." Vaggie interrupted.

"OH! Yeah, right" Charlie turns towards me. Her smile faulting slightly.

"Justin…" Charlie began "Please sit down, we have somethings we got to talk about."

"Oh, ok. I also need to ask you about something too."

I sat down in my chair, while Charlie and Vaggie sat down on the bed, holding hands.

"Ok so, Justin…if you remember the texts I sent earlier. We have a situation."

"Yeah…I remember…" I softly replied.

"Are you sure you want to go through with this."

"I mean, you explained the situation quite well…so…"

"…Yeah…"

…

"So, they are not going to hurt me right."

"No, we made it perfectly clear with them. Nothing or no one will harm you." Vaggie replied.

"Do you know who were dealing with?" I asked.

"Well, Angel Dust is harmless…well to us. The others just came in today. I don't know much about them." Charlie sheepishly replied.

…

"I can explain" Vaggie began. "His name is Alastor, The Radio Demon, one of the most powerful being in Hell, he is also an Overlord, which makes him very dangerous."

…

"…But why is he here through, if he is so dangerous?" I asked.

"I don't know. He's says he wants to help, but I don't trust that red bastard for a second. He's says he just wants to be here, to see people fail, for his own twisted amusement. He is known for his deal making's, knows hope to rope people in. So, Justin…If he wants to make a deal with you…DON'T. EVER. TAKE IT"

"Let me guess, If I want my soul to be lost to him for a debt that can never be repaid."

…

"That's…actually right" Vaggie said in an amazement. Even Charlie was surprised. "How did you know?"

I shrugged. "I seen a lot of movies, shows, and games, that have shown me something like that. Trust me, I get what you're saying. That last thing I want in life is to be forever indebted to someone, demon or not. Don't worry Vaggie, there is nothing I could possible want, I prefer to keep my soul."

Vaggie nodded, with a very smile.

…

"Is there any why I should introduce myself"

"Just be yourself ok, we will protect you…" Charlie answered. "Also, why dinner, don't you wanna meet them at breakfast?"

"Charlie, I took a nap and woke up at like 5 something…when you were gone, so…im not gonna be falling asleep anytime soon so."

"Oh, right" she softly laughed. "Do, you need anything else from us?"

Show them the thing

"Now that you mentioned it. There is something I hope you can explain to me…"

I turned the screen back, back to where I left off.

"Do you see this?"

"See what? What am I looking at?" Vaggie questioned.

…

"Well, for some reason…im still connected to the internet on Earth."

Charlie was confused, but Vaggie was shocked.

"What?" she asked.

"Yeah, see, look" I pulled out my phone and opened the Youtube app. I handed the phone to Vaggie.

She looked like she had just seen a ghost.

"What…The…Fuck" she softly said to herself.

I watched as she typed something into the search bar. The video popped up and started playing Spanish music. Very soft and gentle music, but I could not understand it.

The picture that was shown on the screen was not a flag I recognized. But it was blue and white. Small tears formed in the corners of her eye.

"How…how is this possible?" she whispered out loud.

"I don't know, that's why im asking you" I held my hand out as she gave my phone back. "Not that im complaining…" with a smile.

Vaggie quickly wiped eye.

"I think I know…VOX" Charlie answered.

"who."

Charlie began explaining "Vox is another Overlord, here in Hell, very powerful.

"You keep saying Overlord, what is it?" I ask.

"Basically, Overlords, are very powerful demon's here in Hell. Overlords are considered so powerful that they rule over certain parts of Hell and have an infamous reputation of doing so.

Now I was slightly terrified.

"So basically…like Mob bosses…in a sense"

"Yeah, kind of" Vaggie answered

"Anyways, Vox, The Tv Demon, controls all technology down her in Hell, and all forms of Media down here. He creates all Technology too."

"Yeah, I saw the Tv label VoxTech a few times, since I been here"

"Yeah, so anyways. He is so powerful, that he can connect to earth. Even then, it is very limited access.

He only allows certain demon's access to the Surface world. My Family is the only one that has privilege. But even I am limited to what I can do. I don't have much to access, now that im living on my own. So even I don't know how this is possible. Did you do anything different?"

"No, I just plugged in my router and turned it on."

"Then I don't know, im not a technician."

"Me ether, but im not gonna question it." I smiled.

"Is there anything else you need?"

…

"Well, not right now, but in an hour or two, I might get hungry again…so…im sorry"

"Justin, don't feel bad, I understand. Given your situation."

"I just feel really bad that you have to fetch me stuff, and waste money on me…"

Charlie quickly put her hand on my chest.

"Justin…it's no problem…really" she softly replied, giving me a smile.

"…Thanks Charlie…" I gave her the same smile back.

"If there is nothing else, me and Vaggie, are gonna head back to our room. So, I guess, well see you tomorrow."

"Actually, there is." I shameful admit it. "Can we…have…pizza tomorrow… cause of the meeting tomorrow?"

"Sure, I haven't pizza in a while ether, will do that then."

"Cool, thanks." I replied.

And with that Charlie gave me a Hug, and she and Vaggie left, closing the door.

…

Later

9:30 Pm.

…

I received a couple of knocks at my door.

Knowing who it was, I was greeted by Razzle and Dazzle, with Taco Bell, and 3 bottles of Water.

After giving them my thanks, I sat down to eat, Starving out of mind.

I sighed thou.

Jesus Christ, eating fast food two times in one day. Not my proudest moment of my life.

But then again, it's not like I can show my face anywhere.

It's amazing what you will do to survive.

Now, back to some Modern Warfare.

…

Story Pov.

10:30 PM

…

With the day slowly but surely coming to an end. Charlie and Vaggie got ready for bed.

Vaggie was the first to take a shower, and was already sitting on the bed. wearing an oversized t-shirt, and long, striped thigh high socks, and underwear.

Siting crossed legged. The covers covering the lower half of her body. Flicking though the channels on the Tv.

"Thousands of Channels and nothing good on? Come on" she tiredly said. She was trying to take her mind off, of the disaster that was, today.

She stopped on the late-night news of Charlie's failure of an interview.

She growled. Clutching the remote tightly in her hands.

She wanted so badly to throw it straight at the TV. Instead, she just turned it off.

"Motherfuckers"

"What's wrong Vaggie?" Charlie voice called from the door.

Vaggie turned her head, to see Charlie, standing in the doorway of their bedroom. Just gotten out of the shower.

Dressed in a short sleeve red shirt that said 'Best Princess', red underwear and white socks, while straighten out her hair.

Vaggie blushed, never getting tired of Charlie's beauty.

"It's nothing hun, just useless noise."

Charlie crawled onto the bed and snuggled up to Vaggie.

Vaggie smiled back, but It only lasted for a few seconds.

Charlie noticed this.

"Vaggie, is something wrong…please tell me."

…

"Vaggie…"

…

"It's just that, I have been think alot, about today, and well…the past few days."

Charlie listened.

"This day, this whole situation, is completely fucked."

Vaggie sat up, knees up to her chest.

Charlie tried to say something, lips slightly parted, she could form no words Vaggie was right.

"This day was supposed to be perfect, for you Charlie…But instead, it was just one fucked up thing after another, first they laughed at your idea, Then Angel fucks things up more for us, ON LIVE TV, of all things, and on top of that did not seem to even care on the limo ride back."

Charlie face slowly morphed into sadness, as she began recalling the day too.

"And on top of that. We have Alastor, the fucking Radio Demon, an Overlord of all things, barging into our home, wanting to 'help'. Acting like he owns the place. This is Our Project, Our Hotel."

Charlie didn't say nothing.

"Oh, and let's not forget our human problem, on top of it all, now we got to find a way to break a curse and send him back home, without getting him killed, and now we have to protect him, but now…because Angel opened his mouth in front of Alastor, now…we have to introduce him to the others, a fucking Overlord for fucks sake… Just… JUST FUCK EVERYTHING!"

Vaggie slammed her fist into the bed in frustration, the she flop back onto her pillow, and grabbed another one and covered her face.

Charlie, was just sitting there, lost in thought, more so about Justin, being stuck in Hell.

The words of her father echo in her mind, like a broken record.

Charlie looked towards Vaggie, face still covered, she looked like she was hiccupping.

"Vaggie…?" Charlie whispered.

She moved the pillow away from Vaggie's face. Her eyes widen.

"Are you crying…?"

Vaggie blushed in embarrassment, her eye, slightly red, she gave a sniff as she looked away.

"Vaggie…why are you crying?" quietly she said as she pulled her in for a hug. Charlie is the only person Vaggie would show her emotion's too. "What's wrong…" Charlie eyes started to water.

Vaggie gave a sniff. "It's just that…I…I just want things to go right with you for once… that's all…Today was supposed to be that day…but instead, it was just…just…"

Charlie started rubbing her back "Hey, hey, hey, it's ok Vaggie"

"But it is not Ok Charlie…It's…im worried about Justin…" Vaggie slightly calmed down.

"Yeah…im worried about him too…I can't imagine what his thinking right now, being so far from home, with a small chance of getting back home…It's all my fault."

"He does not show it, Charlie, and that's what worries me. He acts like, nothing is wrong."

"…Yeah…but we will find a way…Vaggie, don't worry, nothing is going to harm him, not when were around."

"It's Alastor, im worried about too…"

"Listen, Vaggie…everything is going to be fine, ok… Today was a rough day, but…Tomorrow is a new day, we don't know what the future brings, but I know…as long as I have you by my side, nothing will ever go wrong." She smiled

Vaggie looked into her eyes and smiled. "Thanks Charlie, im so glad I have you in my life."

"And im glad I have you in my life too…"

Charlie and Vaggie kissed.

"Now let's get some rest, Tomorrow is a new day."

"Yeah…Goodnight Charlie."

"Goodnight Vaggie."

They both turned the lamps off, and got under the covers, and drifted off to sleep.

…

Though for Charlie…her thoughts drifted back to her Father, and what he said earlier.

'You may have just condemned an innocent soul to spend the rest of his life, down here in Hell, Congratulations.'

And with that, Charlie felt her guilt, slowing rising in her heart.

…

Later

January 2nd 2020

3:00 AM

…

In the dark bedroom, the only sounds that can be heard, was the sound of hot air being blown into the room by the vents.

Vaggie was peaceful sleeping, her lips slightly parted, breathing through her mouth, with very small snores.

Charlie on the other hand, was not peacefully sleeping.

Charlie mumble in her sleep, her body slightly fidgeting, as her fingers and toes, her arms and legs…

She was having a nightmare.

A very horrible nightmare.

…

The Nightmare

Warning:

Some Heavy stuff

…

Charlie found herself walking thought the streets.

It was dark out, and all the light were on…

The only problem was…there was nobody around.

Nobody on the streets, no cars, no sounds of violence…or any sound.

Her footsteps against the road were the only sound that was being made.

In truth, Charlie was terrified.

"Hello…Vaggie…Justin…Anyone…?" she called out, only her echo called back to her.

She hugged herself tight.

"Where is everybody?"

As she kept walking, she found herself getting uncomfortable. Felt like someone was watching her. But the feeling was accompanied by the dread that something bad was going to happen.

Charlie had not realized she found herself walking towards the Clocktower.

When she finally looked up.

The numbers on the clock changed.

Both hands pointed up, and the Cleanse counter, changed rapidly,

From 365, right back down to 0.

Her heart stopped, as the Bells rang out loud.

Charlie felt like they were the loudest they ever been. They did not stop.

In an instant, Exterminators descended fast, down to her location.

Now they started attacking demons, who were not there, just a second ago.

She looked around to see all demon's being attacked, being erased from existence, in one swift attack.

Charlie could not speak…

She was mortified. Frozen in terror.

Then, they all stopped…and turned to her, with the sicken sound of bones being cracked from their necks.

They charged full sprit at her.

She immediately ran right towards the Clocktower.

Finding a door, and running inside.

She quickly slammed the door shut, before an angel could get inside.

The Bells had stopped.

Now she found herself in a dark room, with a single light source from above.

Her breathing was rapid, she was in panic mode, her hands on the sides of her face.

"What is going on…This should not be happing…the Cleanse was yesterday…what is happening?!"

"C…Charlie?"

Charlie stopped. She slowly turned around, and found Justin…being in a same state of fear as she was.

"Justin…" she quietly said. Still shaking

"Charlie…please…you have to help me…they found me, I don't know how, but they found me!" he grabbed her by the shoulders

"Who…?!"

"I don't know, they looked like very powerful demons Charlie…they were chasing me…saying all bunch of horrible things they wanna do to me…I managed to get away…Charlie… they know im human, and I don't know how they found out…please, you have to help…I don't wanna die…please."

Charlie quickly grabbed him by the shoulders

"Justin, look at me…nothing is going harm you, not when im around…ok…do you understand?"

He nodded.

She smiled.

…

In a split second.

Cuffs attached to chains wrapped around, the human's wrist, and ankles…

Charlie was stunned in silence, shaken.

Her friend looked into her eyes.

Full of fear, and panic.

"…C…Charlie…"

In an instant…he was pulled to the ground, his face, connecting with a hard hit.

He looked back, seeing someone that was not there for Charlie,

He tried reaching for her. But in a split second.

He was pulled into the Darkness.

"JUSTIN!"

She chased after him, into the darkness.

"CHARLIE! HELP!"

Running completely blind, looking for her friend.

Charlie now suddenly found herself back outside.

But this time it was different.

There was nobody around anymore.

And all the building and roads were destroyed.

The only thing left standing…The Happy Hotel

She heard her friend scream in terror.

"JUSTIN!"

She ran as fast as she could towards the hotel.

The terrible screams were drowned out, by different voice. One after another.

Her Father.

"This idea of yours will never work, what you want to do is impossible, it is doom to fail, Charlie, and you will be a Failure.

Katie Killjoy

Well, it sure looks like your little project is Dead on arrival. *looms over Charlie* Tell us, how does it feel to be a Total Failure? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Angel Dust.

No, no, no, babe. Jokes are funny! I made you look... uh, Sad…and Pathetic!

Alastor

"Redemption, oh the non-existent humanity! No no no no, I don't think there's anything left that could save such loathsome sinners! The chance given was the life they lived before; thepunishment is this! There is no undoing what is done!"

…

"I want to watch the scum of the world struggle to climb up the hill of betterment. Only to repeatedly trip and tumble down to the fiery pit of FAILURE!

…

*SLAM*

Charlie burst through the front doors of the hotel.

The scream began again.

She ran down the hall, and turned left. Heading straight for the ballroom.

The screams got louder.

Almost there…

Then suddenly the doors slammed shut.

Charlie slammed into them, but she bounced off of them. Falling to the ground

"CHARLIE! HELP ME! STOP THIS! IT HURTS!"

Charlie got back up, trying to push the doors open…but they would not budge.

Her Demon form took over.

She started kicking the door, nothing.

She tried bashing through using her shoulder, nothing.

Even shooting fireballs out…

Nothing worked. No scratches, no burn marks, no sighs of anything working.

"Leave him alone…LEAVE HIM ALONE!" She screeched, repeatedly.

Over and over, she tried… but nothing seemed to work. The screams of torture continued.

Her friend was in pain.

…

Eventually her body started hurting really bad.

She had lost all of her strength.

Slowly returning back to normal, on her knees, head against the door, looking down at the floor as tears flowed down her face, like a waterfall.

"Please…leave him alone." Charlie voice was gone, she was broken, her throat hurt, she was shaking.

"Please…he didn't deserve this…Please…leave him alone…hurt me instead…Please…just stop…"

And like that…the screaming stopped…and the doors slowly opened.

Slowly she got up, she walked inside. It was dark, but the stage was alight.

And there she saw her friend.

His back to her.

"…Justin…" she run towards the stage and climbed up.

Suddenly the sound of a piano started playing, two notes only.

She could see a band of shadow demons on instruments behind the human, and she notice a small, tall nightstand with one drawer, a few feet away, in front of her friend.

'Dun…dun…'

She looked back and saw silhouettes of demons, sitting at the tables. And much like the one the instruments. Only thing visible, was their glowing eyes and mouths. Watch them like it was a stage play.

'Dun…dun…'

The same two notes kept playing, over and over.

Charlie, slowly realized, they sounded very…familiar…

"…Oh no…"

She recognized one of the musicals she likes. But she could not move.

The piano made the same two notes again.

Singing

"I am damaged…Im far too damaged…"

Justin turned around.

Charlie was shocked, covering her mouth form screaming. He was cover in so many deep cuts and bruises…bleeding…very badly.

"And…im…beyond repair…"

His voice was so…broken, but he kept… smiling.

"You stick around here…and make things better…

…Cause…I can't take it anymore…"

Charlie walks forward, but he stopped her.

"So please stand back now…"

*walks to small table and opens it*

"…Little further…"

Charlie's eyes widen as he pulls out, her father Desert Eagle, and an ammo clip. Examining it. still smiling.

"Cause I know what this thing can do~"

Justin looks back at Charlie.

"Hope you miss me. I wished you Helped Me,

And you should know that I Trusted you~"

Points to Charlie

"I'll end my life…for a new one…"

Charlie: "OH MY GOD"

"And once I disappear~"

Charlie: "WAIT! HOLD ON~!" chains keep her in place, and dropped her to her knee's

"Please clean the mess down here~"

Charlie: "PLEASE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT~"

…

"My Mind is Gone…"

Loads ammo clip into the gun

"My Trust is Gone…"

Pulls back the slide

"My Hope is Gone…"

Slowly brings the gun to the side of his head.

"My FAITH is Gooooone~"

*CLICK*

Charlie could do nothing…as she stared at her friend…

"Justin…please…im sorry…Im sorry I could not protect you…Im sorry I brought you here…Im sorry you got hurt…but please…don't do this…please…"

Tear rolled down her eyes.

She looked back at her human friend, tears rolling down his face…still smiling…

…

*BANG*

Slow motion…

Charlie's eyes widen in horror, her pupils turned to dots, as his body feel to the ground…blood and brains everywhere. Body hitting hard against the stage floor.…still…smiling…

…SHE…FAILED…

Her demon form came back in full force. She inhaled all the air she could contain.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

As everything collapsed on top of her.

…

Awake

3:30 AM

…

Charlie woke up screaming. Her demon form was out. Tears running down her face.

The lights came on.

"CHARLIE, WHAT HAPPENED!

Charlie was hyper ventilating.

"CHARLIE, CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN."

Charlie slipped through Vaggie' grasp. With no hesitation, Charlie through on some slippers and a robe, and rushed out of her penthouse. With Vaggie in hot pursuit.

"CHARLIE!"

Charlie didn't bother with the elevator, but instead, used the emergency stairway to rush to the 7th floor.

…

My POV

…

I was lying in bed, in a t-shirt and Yankees sleepwear, and white socks. The vent blowing out some nice hot air.

Watching Youtube from my Ps4, waiting to fall asleep. Because I can't force myself to sleep, I have to tire myself out.

While waiting for sleep to takeover, I heard some rapid knocking at my door.

"Justin, please open up!"

That was Charlie, she sounded like she was panicking.

I quick jumped out from the cover and ran to the door, and opened it wide.

Standing there was Charlie, but she looked…different.

Different being her eyes were now red and yellow, and she horns, and her teeth looked shaper.

It sort of freaked me out a bit, but what really caught me off guard, was the fact she was…crying.

"Uh…"

"Oh, thank goodness Justin" she hugged me tight "You're ok" she buried her face in my shoulder

"Uh…yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

I looked and saw Vaggie, standing in the door way but she did not say a word.

"Uh Charlie…are you ok?" I asked.

Charlie looked up into my eyes, as I stared into her red and yellow. Tears filling up her eyes.

"Well…"

Vaggie hugged her from behind.

It was then that Charlie began to tell me of her nightmare, the more she began to explain it, the more she started breathing rapidly.

Especially the part about me.

She was shaking, she stumbled on her words, she was sniffing and crying, holding onto me like her life depended on it.

I had never known a nightmare so powerful, can leave a person like this.

"And…and…and…and then you…you…you…killed yourself…and I, could not do, anything about it, I didn't protect you, you got hurt because of me…"

I began to rub the back of her head.

"Charlie…it's ok…rea- "

"IT IS NOT OK!" she yelled back. It causes me to jump. She stepped back and looked at me.

"I failed Justin. I failed to protect you. I failed the hotel. I failed Vaggie. I failed everything."

She just let it all out.

"I don't understand…why don't you hate me? I took you from your home, your friends, your family, your…everything."

Seeing her cry made my emotions start to swell up, and my thoughts about this whole situation im in.

"Why don't you…"

…

"Charlie…I don't know…ok." I began. Tears coming up, I tried to hold them back.

"I'm just… not a person, who holds grudges ok…what happened was an accident…"

"But it is my fault…"

"So, what!" I interrupted.

…

"Like I said earlier Charlie…you could not have known, it was an accident…but it's something that can be fixed ok…"

"…"

"…Listen, I know you did not mean to do it, ok…and I don't blame you for it…I just…I just…don't like being mean to people… ok…im just…"

Tears rolled down my face. I could not hold it back anymore…my emotions…took over, everything I bottled up.

"Just…just…please promise me, you will find a way…please…I don't…I don't want to die down here…please…please help me get home…please…"

Now it was me who was crying. I fucking hated it… I hate feeling like this.

Charlie quickly hugged me. My face in her shoulder.

"Please…I don't wanna die down here…I don't wanna die…" I repeatedly mumbled over and over again.

I felt Charlie put her hands on both sides of my head.

"Justin…Justin, please look at me…"

I stared back into her Red and Yellow eyes.

"I promise you. No matter what happens…I will get you home…ok…I will protect you…you are safe here…do you understand"

I nodded in silence. Charlie went back to hugging me. Vaggie joined in too.

We stood there in silence, letting everything out.

I am grateful to have landed here, with them.

For if I was anywhere else in Hell, I would surely be dead by now.
