Daria was laying on a bed with her arms spread off. It's been about a week since she last saw her dad, who was currently on Earth with her mom.

- So boring…

She looked at the window curtains. She wasn't allowed to leave the hotel or even open curtains as everybody was afraid to disobey her fathers wishes. The situation was reasonable, since it could be potentially very dangerous, but the girl was feeling as if she was grounded even if she didn't do anything wrong.

What's worse, she had literally nothing to do, as she already finished a book she got from Vaggie. The owner of the business, Charlie Magane, had no money to pay for cable or internet after she got a huge loan to invest into a hotel. Uncle Tony, who became her new friend, was also at work right on the new movie, so talking to him was not an option. She only knew he won't be back soon, since he is busy. And he got weirdly awkward and quiet when she asked if she can watch it when the movie premieres. He left her Fat Nugget to take care of, but the pig mostly just did her own things and didn't want too much attention from unfamiliar doe.

Daria started to be curious about a new world she could explore right now, instead. Capital of Hell seems to be a city full of life and entertainment, especially after the down. She was able to hear all the noises and crowd having fun outside.

She was aware they were all demons and imps, but considering her dad was one of the powerful ones, not to mention she had Lucifer's daughter vow of protection, she couldn't help but imagine in case of emergency, she could just refer to them, and get herself out of trouble.

But for that she would need some disguise, she was aware that angels are not exactly welcome in Hell, even with some family connections.

Funny, consider mr. Lucifer was a light bringer and angel. - she snarked.

- Oh, God, what am I saying. I'm not gonna end like Lucifer, am I? - she slapped her cheeks with hooves. - Auch!

Daria rings a small iron bell on the desk. Immediately, after that the doll-faced beauty turned next to her door.

- Hi, Daria! What do you want?

- Do you happen to have some needles?

Charlie frozen up.

- I am not sure what Angel Dust told you about this place so far, but I will tell you the same thing I told him when he asked me that. We don't do drugs in the hotel, and you can't stay here unless you agree.

Her tone was serious and cold and her posture straightened up.

- What? No! I want needles and threads, to sew!

- Uh, right. Sorry. - Charlie blushed. - It's a force of habit, when you are surrounded by addicts. I will see if I have some.

Princess came back with a sewing set quite quickly.

- I think I have some old sewing machine laying around in my home, too. - Charlie added. - My mom likes to design fashion.- she explained - Her dresses are a bit too revealing for me, but I think Tony has her entire Succubus summer collection.


Al was sitting in his chair looking at the dark red bandages. Niffty enter the room with the fresh ones.

- Darling, how's your hand? - She started unwrapping it. - Is it still hurt?

- If you know what I was thinking about…. - He patted her cheek but avoided eye contact.

- I knew what may happen if I marry you. - She reassures him. - I wouldn't blame you if you did it.

- He smiled, again, cursing this smile. So fake and painful every time he forces himself to just wear it.

- Don't do this face. - She commented on his behaviour like she was reading his mind. - I know you're not ok.

She hugged him and kissed him delicately in the lips, they stayed in that position for a while, in silence. He loved moments like this, he didn't have to be cheerful, strong or powerful. He wished he didn't have to live like this. But Hell was unforgiving, only the strongest can dream of any independence, but at the same time, they had to always watch their back. This was eternal punishment for sinners like him, after all.

- You know, you didn't told me what the Daria demon form looks like. - Niffty said in order to lift their mood. She wiped a tear from her eyes. - I'm sure she is beautiful.

- It is beautiful… She is a deer like me. - He beat around the it's better if he works on the "demon" part before he tells her. When you have so many secrets, one more is not a problem, right?

He was about to get back to Hell soon, anyway. But the comfort of his Earth house was too tempting. He also didn't want to leave his beloved alone too soon. On the other hand, his daughter was there by herself uncomfortably long. What's worse, he had his work to do, and any more days could blow his cover too fast for him to work on another plan of making his lies into reality. Maybe the fastest way would be just making Daria sell her soul to him, but it would however result in turning her into a mindless slave, if anything goes wrong. And tricking her would increase the possibility to dangerous level.

He couldn't take such a huge risk, especially since angels operate in different ways then human beings. Normally the demon wouldn't care if it's prey ended up brain dead so rules on how to prevent that outcome were kind of sketchy. He already get lucky with his wife. Partially because it was her who initiated the deal and did it to insure that she will join his side as a demon one day. Daria However didn't seem to show any desire to become one. For now, she was forced to stay at Hell, even if that was just a mistake on someone's part. Maybe a little power trip would make her appreciate his offer? Alastor knew that she inherited his love for attention. He wondered if Lucifer could be helpful in that case. The more fallen angels, the marrier, right?

- She has those huge fluffy ears, you know! Deerie is so cute…
