Hello everyone! This is the last of the holiday chapters, so while it's sad to see this section go, it's time for us to get George's and Striker's sinister plots rolling!

So Happy Holidays and let's get going!

Chapter 24: A Hellish Christmas (Part 2)

With a good majority of the Christmas dinner was eaten, it was no time for the holiday party to begin! Music was playing, everyone was chatting, singing or dancing, and little baby Razor was playing with Fat Nuggets! Who both Clementine and Angel Dust couldn't help but coo and take pictures of their beloved babies playing with each other.

A knock on the door was heard. Charlie went over and smiled at the guests. It was Angel's family! His older (yet very short) brother Arackniss, Angel's twin sister Molly, a tall female black widow spider demon with red eyes much like Angel's and Molly's with rich dark read hair, and the last one was surprisingly Henroin himself! They were all dressed in matching Christmas sweaters, but in different colors.

"Hello there!" The Black Widow smiled. "I'm Nonna Ragno, and this is my son, Henroin, and my grandchild, Arackniss and Molly. We were invited by Angel for the Christmas party!"

The princess blinked then step aside.

"Oh yes! Please come in! Angel is right inside! He was talking about all of you earlier and super excited! You're welcome to place all your presents underneath our tree!"

"Molly! Niss! Fuck you, dad. Nonna! You all came!" Angel cheered.

"Why you little-" Hissed Henroin before his mother cut him off.

"Angel, my little sweetheart! Mio angioletto! How are you?"

Nonna threw her arms over her youngest grandson.

"Doing the best I can," Angel Dust plucked up his pet and showed it to her. "Have you meet my ultra adorable little cutie? Fat Nuggets, meet Nonna. Nonna, meet Fat Nuggets."

Nonna giggled.

"Aww, you always came up with the cutest names for your pet."

"We brought gifts!" Molly announced.

"Here, let me help you with those," Vaggie offered, taking the gifts from the pretty spider girl. "I'll put them under the tree so you can mingle with the guests."

"Yeah so…who's here?" Arackniss asked.

"Me and Vaggie, Angel Dust, Al and his friends, Rosie and Mimzy and their son and in-laws," Charlie counted.

"Son? Overlord Rosie and Mimzy have a child?" Henroin looked towards the pair of chatting women.

"And Al! He's the dad!" Niffty added.

"What?! The Radio Demon's has a spawn?!"

"He's adopted." Charlie quickly explained. "And if you keep it on the down-low it would be apprecated. They don't want Moxxie to be targeted by other Overlords."

That was understandable. With how many Sinners and Hellborns aliked feared and/or hated the Radio Demon, if they learned that he had a child, they wouldn't hesitate to try and kill or use him against the stag as leverage for their own agenda. As the Spider family went to mingle, another knock was on the door. This time it was the triple Vs, with Vox struggling to carrying all the gifts that they had brought. He poked his head out as best as he could, flashing a smile at the princess.

"H-Hey Princess! Little help with the gifts? Velvet... kinda went overboard, and both she and Val are being bitches who refuse to help me. Also I got some special gifts for Elli and I don't want her to peek in the little gift bag that's on top of the pile.

"Oh not at all!" She exclaimed, taking half of the gifts to help ease the Media Overlord's burden. "We can put these under the tree! Elli is actually currently talking with Rosie and Mimzy! You can join her!"

He flashed her a greatful smile.

"Thanks." He then turned and glared at Valentino. He still hadn't fully forgiven the Moth for the shit he pulled last year. "You better fucking keep away or apologize to Elli on the shit that you pulled. And you better not stir shit with Angel Dust. This is Christmas, and I got a special surprise for this holiday for Elli and Blitzen."

The moth rolled his eyes.

"Fucking shit. I already apologized. How long is it going to take for you to let it go?"

"When I feel like you deserve it, asshole."

"CHRISTMAS!" Velvet shrieked, loudly ringing the bells around her wrist, alerting the others to her arrival.

"Vox!"

Eli quickly ran up to greet her boyfriend.

"Damn, my traps didn't work for him either." Muttered Alastor.

"What was that?" Eli asked sternly at her son.

"Nothing, mother!" Alastor flippantly replied.

"Great…Val's here too…" Angel grumbled.

"Don't worry, sweetie," Nonna reassured him. "He"s not gonna do anything while family is around."

'I'll make damn sure of that.' She patted the side of her skirt to make sure her gun was still there.

"Impy!" Velvet squealed before taking off.

"Oh no not again!" Yelled Moxxie as he was tackled across the room by Velvet.

"Moxxie!"

Millie got up in worry.

"Look at him go!" Blitzo laughed as Loona recorded the encounter.

"Hiiiiiii Moxxie-Doxxie-Woxxie-Foxxy! Merry Christmas!" Velvet chirped, swinging him around like a toy.

"Hey-ey Vel-vet, Mer-ry Christ-mas," Stuttered Moxxie as he tried to get free of Velvet's grip.

Vox and Valentino raised a brow at the display. Vox quickly went over to help pry the poor imp away from the doll demon's grip. Last thing he needed was one of the Princess' guest to get murdered at the party. More unintentional, but they couldn't take the risk. Before Charlie had the chance to shut the door Sir Pentious and Cherri Bomb arrived as well. Several Egg Bois carrying gifts.

"Oh my, this is certainly quite the party!" The cobra remarked, then locking eyes with his boyfriend. "Nissy!"

The small spider blushed at the sudden hug by the snake.

"Hey Pen."

Henroin's eyes narrowed at the scene, but didn't bother to comment at the moment. The Victorian Sinner took notice of the matching holiday sweaters that the Spider Family was wearing. Nonna was wearing a light blue sweater, Henroin in a orangish yellow, Molly was wearing a red one, Angel Dust in his signature light pink, and lastly Arackniss was wearing a green sweater. He gasped.

"Oh how festive! I didn't realize your entire family was going to wear matching sweaters!" He gestured to his own brown one with Christmas trees and other holiday patterns all over it. "I would've gotten something more similiar, but I do love the holidays and I figured this one was nice. Despite the invite saying that this was informal."

Nonna went over and hugged the cobra.

"Merry Christmas caro!" She leaned close to the snake's face, slightly drapping over his shoulder. "The mistletoe is not too far away. It would be a great gift if you'd-"

"NONNA!" The smally ebony spider exclaimed, blushing at what his grandmother was insinuating. "You can't expect him-! With you-!"

She laughed, waving a hand dismissively.

"No, no tesoro! Not with me!" She then got a thoughtful look as she glanced around the room. "Though I'm sure I can find a good looking fellow to sneak a few with me though..."

"Mother!" Henroin shouted at her.

"What? I'm not getting any younger!"

"Get 'em, Nonna!" Cheered Angel.

Meanwhile with Velvet and Vox-

"No! I wanna play with the impy!" Whined the doll Overlord, still clutching Moxxie's arm.

"Let him go, Vel!" Vox yelled before turning to Val. "A little help?!"

Val's response was to take another puff of his cigarette.

"You got it."

"Ugh," But thankfully Vox managed to get Moxxie free. "Why don't you play with the other guests?"

Velvet twisted her neck like an owl towards the other imp guests, giving them a shocked at the loud SNAP her neck did. "…nah, they're not cute enough."

"Hey! I'm plenty cute!" Blitzo hissed.

"You're as cute as a sewer rat."

Velvet blew raspberries at him before twisted her head back to it's original place.

"Uh, how about some sweets? Dad and I made some sugar cookies and gingerbread man and left them on the table."

"Cookies!" Velvet started jumping up and down. "Can I decorate mine?"

"Sure, we like the icing next…" Velvet ran off to find the sweets. "…to them."

"Well at least we'll have half an hour before she comes and bothers us again," remarked Valentino

"Uh, Merry Christmas Vox," Moxxie greeted.

"Yeah, Merry Christmas to you too, kid. Sorry about Velvet. You know how she gets."

Hearing how well the three of them were getting along, Millie came up.

"How do you know them, Moxxie?"

The little imp blushed, rubbing the back of his neck.

"It's... kind of a long story." He glanced at where Alastor was watching them with narrowed eyes. His antlers starting to grow. "Though I'm sure dad might just loose his cool if I told that story."

"I would love to hear it!" Elli spoke up, looping her arm with Vox's. "In exchange, I can tell you how I and Vox got together. Be a good way to punish your father for-" She spoke loud enough for him to hear. "-Not dismantling the traps like he was suppose to during Krampusnacht!"

"It was for the good of the hotel!" The stag shot back. "And you all should've let me and Moxxie deal with him like we always do on Krampusnacht!"

"You were told not to, and you disobeyed! This is your punishment!"

"Well like any story involving the three of us, it usually starts with it being Velvet's fault…"

"I wanna tell it!" Velvet popped up, cookie crumbs in her mouth and hopped up on sugar.

"Let it," Val waved off. "It all started because of her."

"Yippee! Okay, so I was out for a walk…"

December, Pride Ring. Moxxie, Age 5

"Meanie daddies! Not buying me another pet!" Whined the doll overlord as she stopped down the streets, not paying any mind to the sinners and demons around her that were currently running away from her.

"It's not my fault Lampchop died!" Velvet teared up at the loss of her last pet, a goat-like demon that had gotten killed during one of her meltdown tantrum. "Poor thing wasn't fast enough to get out of the blast zone."

Now, for the thirty-eighth time, Velvet was pet-less.

And worse, Vox and Val refused to gift her any more pets!

"I am so a good pet owner! I can provide it!" Velvet pulled out her phone and started looking through slave trader websites. "Fine, if those old men won't give me a pet, then I'll just have to fine one myself!"

Unfortunately for the Overlord, the 'pets' she found on sale did not fit her liking. Either too old, too young, too plain or simply not cute enough to fit her needs. And she wasn't going to find a pet within Val or Vox's domains. She wanted a companion that was cute, loyal and fluffy! Not a whore or a robot.

"Guess I'll have to kidnap one off the streets," She decided, pocketing her phone, scanning the now empty streets. "But where am I gonna find…"

"HELP! HELP ME!"

Velvet jumped at the scream before turning her head towards the direction it came from: an alley way. A bull-like sinner was crawling out from there, covered in blood, horns torn off and bit of his flesh ripped off.

"Help….please," he was cut off when a large tendril wrapped around his neck and dragged him back into the shadows. "NO! HELP! PLEAS-ARK!"

'Looks like deer boy is eating,' Velvet thought.

She shrugged, about the leave, when she heard something that was certainly NOT the cannibal radio demon.

A giggle.

A child's giggle.

Curious, she went to see what was going on. Was it some Hellborn child? Since Sinners were infertile, due to them being dead, it was impossible that it was one of them. She followed the sound to see the shadow little imp standing looming on the opposite end of the alley. He was holding a voodoo doll, his eyes full of static. A small red x was on his forehead.

Her eyes widen at the imp. Not only that, but he was adorable! He was the perfect pet! Deadly, adorable, and just so cute! She had to have him! She gave an excited squeal, running over to him. What a perfect day! Now she had a new pet! Best Christmas ever! She went and picked him up, holding him to where they were in the air.

"You are the most adorable imp I have ever seen!" She gasped, seeing him dressed in a little suit. "And you are dressed so cute!"

The child imp gave her a curious look. He look no more than five. Maybe six at the most. Age didn't matter to her. But the fact that he was a child made it better! That meant that she could raise him to be the ideal playmate! What fun!

"Who are you?" He asked. He gave her a curious sniff, then his eyes lit up at her. "You smell like chocolate! Like the cookies Mama made for Christmas!"

"Aww, aren't you a little charmer," Velvet rubbed her check against his. "Do you have a name little one?"

"I'm Moxxie."

"Oh my Satan, that's so cute!" Velvet squealed. Even his name was adorable.

Soft squishing noises broke her focus and she looked down at the ghastly remains of the sinner. Torn and gutted, limbs ripped apart, you could barely tell it was a person before his demised.

"Eww, gross," Velvet cringed, stepping away and hoping that she didn't get any of the sinner's bodiless fluids on her new shoes.

"Yeah, he was really gross," Agreed the imp. "He kept bothering people and wouldn't leave me alone. I noticed him following me and hear him saying something about an auction. When he grabbed me, I had Stabby here help me take him out!" He motioned to his voodoo doll.

"He was probably a slave trader and was gonna sell you to someone." She cuddle the imp. "But he's dead so there's no more worry about that!"

Moxxie stomach then started to rumble and he turned pink.

"Sorry. I'm suppose to go home for lunch."

"Oh! Come with me! I have lots of tasty food!"

"Do you have any cookies?"

"Yes! Hundreds and hundreds of them!"

Velvet gleefully took hold of the imp as she skipped all the way home. She couldn't wait to tell Vox and Val!

"What the fuck, Vel?!" Val hissed at the sign in front of him.

"That's a bad word," Moxxie pointed out, munching on a chocolate chip cookie.

"Yeah, Val here is a regular potty-mouth." Giggled Velvet, plucking a sugar cookie from the tray.

"Mommy said it's bad to say bad words in front of little kids and girls."

Valentino snorted.

"This is Hell kid. Your mom ain't gonna be able to prevent you from saying this shit when you're older."

The child shrugged.

"That's what she said. Daddy only says bad words when he sees a Telly. The shadows don't like the TV either. Mommy says too much Telly is bad anyways."

The two Vs looked at each other. Looks like they got a child who has TV hating parents. What was the odds?

"What about you, kid? You hate 'tellys' too?" Val asked.

"Mmm, they aren't bad but dad really hate them so I don't watch them." Moxxie answered.

"Oh, you have to meet Voxxy! I'm sure if you meet him, you'll love him!" Velvet exclaimed. "He's such a silly box headed old man."

"Vox is too busy obsessing over Bambi to care about what new pet you have," Val remarked.

While the two argued back and forth, Moxxie took the time to look around the room he was brought it. From what Velvet said, it wasn't hers or the Val character's base, but rather her friend 'Vox's', the television overlord. Full of screens, cables and wires with views of every square inch of Pride display on the monitors.

He placed Stabby next to him, turning him so his head faced the monitors. One thing he 'failed' to mention to Miss Velvet, was that his doll doubled as a monitor for his parents. His father could see through the doll's eyes whenever he wished.

No doubt Alastor was probably looking for him. He'd already missed lunch at mother's house. Best to let him know he was safe and where his location was. Though, unfortunately for Moxxie, his location would only serve to enrage his father and go on a rampage to rescue his son thinking he was kidnapped.

"Oh lookie!" Velvet exclaimed as the doors flew open and in rushed in Vox. "Voxy-Boxy is here!"

Said demon came into view. He wasn't as tall as Valentino, but he was taller than Velvet. But was the exact same height as his Daddy. Seeing who he was, Moxxie knew instantly recognized him. And he only had one thing to say.

"My daddy hates you."

The sudden proclamation caused Vox to pause. He looked down at the little imp.

"What the fuck!?"

Little Moxxie look at Velvet, pouting at the rude greeting.

"He didn't say hi. He used a bad word."

"Why is there a fuckin' imp in my control room?!" Vox asked. "Velvet, the fuck did you do?!"

"What? Why are you blaming me?!"

"Because this has your name written all over it!"

Velvet puffed up her cheeks in anger.

"You don't even know if this is my fault!"

"Was it?"

"…maybe."

Vox groaned.

"Screw it, I don't have time!"

He ran towards his console and started fiddling with the controls. Velvet hopped up next to him like a toddler curious about their parent's work.

"What'cha doing?"

"Al's on the rampage," he stated. "And for some reason, he's heading towards us!"

"What? Why? What did you do to Bambi this time, babe?" Val asked.

"That's it I haven't done anything to him! This week at least! Other than monitoring the city, but he knows that and doesn't give a shit. So why the fuck is he threatening to disemboweled me and you guys?" His head then swerved to face his two cohorts. "Did you two do something to him."

"No." Was the answer he received from both of them.

Suddenly, the entire room started shaking, followed by an animalistic roar distorted by static. Vox started cursing up a storm as he pulled up an image on his main monitor: it was Alastor, full Wendigo form storming the front of his building and disappeared into the stairs.

"Shit! Shit! Shit! Why the fuck is he coming here?! He usually doesn't do frontal assault!"

"Hi Daddy!" The imp's response caused them to pause. They looked down at the him. Moxxie was holding Stabby, waving at the monitor. "I can see you on the Telly! Can you see me?"

"Did he say... Daddy?" Vox demanded. "He better be referring to another imp on a different monitor!"

Another feral roar was heard, causing Moxxie to give an excited cheer. The shadows started to become more lively, swarming over to the child.

"Daddy's here! Daddy's here!"

"Oh…shit…"

BANG!

Alastor, in his full demonic glory, burst into the room. His form enormous and taking up half the room with just his head and chest alone. Vox and Val backed away, ready to fight, Velvet pulling out her phone to record when they were interrupted by the child imp, running towards the horror.

"Daddy! Daddy!"

Alastor turned his bleeding voided eyes towards Moxxie and gentle picked him up in his claws.

"Moxxie…." His voice distorted and warped. "Did those filthy degenerate touch you? Did they pluck one hair on your head?"

"No, Miss Velvet was really nice and gave me cookies!" He chirped. "The other ones just said lots of bad words though."

Alastor slowly turned his head towards the triple Vs. Vox and Val cowered but Velvet cooed at the little imp in his arms. The deer demon narrowed his eyes before using his shadow to engulf and spirited away the imp.

No one spoke for a while.

"Speak of this to anyone…an your head will be on my plate…" Alastor warned before disappearing back into the shadows.

Silence.

"Oh poo! I forgot to ask him if Moxxie can be my new pet!"

"Damn it, Velvet!"

Pride Ring, Pentagram City, Present Day

"And that's how me and Moxxie met and because the bestest of friends!" Velvet exclaimed as she hugged the little imp tightly.

Rosie sent a glare at Alastor, arms crossed.

"You said Vox kidnapped him. And that he had no further contact."

"Vox, Velvet, what's the difference? And for his entire childhood, he hasn't. What happened after he left Pride Ring is all on him. Though I still strictly told him not be associated with the likes of them."

"Fuck you too, Rudolph!" Vox glared at him. Realizing that Elli was still there, he gave her a sheepish smile. "Sorry. Sorry. Still working on the rivalry thing."

Nonna chuckled, sitting in a chair as she rested her chin on her hand.

"Reminds me of when Arackniss first arrived in Hell. Mio caro piccolo tesoro got into all shorts of trouble due to his smaller size."

"Nonna..." Arackniss hissed at her through gritted teeth. "Ya promised ta not tell anyone about those!"

"No, I promised I wouldn't tell anyone in The Family, about your little excursions."

"Ooh, ooh, tell! Tell!" Angel demanded, instantly going and sitting in front of Nonna's feet like an excited child. "You can't say that shit about lil' Nissy and NOT talk about it! Anything to hear the nonna's-boy embarrass himself!"

"Shut the fuck up Anthony!" Arackniss glared at his younger brother. "I am NOT a nonna's-boy, you cock-sucking whore!"

"You are too! She pinches yer damn cheeks all the fuckin' time 'nd ya don't say a damn word! But if anyone else does it, then ya fuckin' bite their fingers off!"

The Black Widow Spider went and smacked both boys against their heads, causing them to flinch.

"You boys aren't arguin' in front of yer nonna. It's Christmas. You know better."

"Si nonna." They replied, though still glaring at each other.

Hoping to de-esculate the tension that was forming, and maybe pull Velvet off of Moxxie, she gestured to the tree.

"I think this would a good time to go ahead and exchange presents!"

"PRESENTS!" Velvet and Blitzo cheered, running over to start digging into their gifts.

Charlie, Vaggie and Niffty went over and started bringing the presents over. They were all excited to see what they were going to receive! So far, the holiday was proving to bring a lot of emotions! Some good, some bad, some embarrassing, but in all, Charlie had to admit that the party was going amazing! And she couldn't wait to see what everyone got! Best Christmas ever!

That's part two of A Hellish Christmas!

We got to see all of the Spider family! Nonna is MY OC! I hope you like her!

With the party going on, the next chapter is going to focus on the presents! Because you can NOT have a Christmas chapter and not show what the presents are! Especially when they're important to the story!

So CynicalGenre and I will see you all in the next chapter! Happy Holidays everyone!
