When you're high on emotion
And you're losing your focus
And you feel too exhausted to pray
Don't get lost in the moment
Or give up when you're closest
All you need is somebody to say
It's okay not to be okay
It's Ok not to be Ok - Demi Lovato, Marshmello
Charlie dragged Shawntelle to her new room. "Here we are!" she announced happily
Shaw had to take a moment to steady herself as she was spinning dizzy.
Charlie let out an awkward laugh "Sorry... anyway, here's your room!"
Shaw gave her a quick nod 'Let's go then I guess'
Charlie opened the door "Ladies first!"
Shaw rolled her eye and walked in with Charlie following suit. Shaw was absolutely amazed, the room was beautifully furnished and clean. It reminded her of when her father would take her mother and herself on vacation. The room had everything you might expect, a bed, a desk and chair, a bathroom, a minifridge and a TV mounted on the wall.
"Well you take your time in getting settled, here is your list of Rehabilitation Activities that starts on Monday" She handed a piece of paper to Shaw "And last but not least: Welcome to the Happy Hotel Shawntelle!"
Shaw's eye glowed 'thanks I guess...'
Charlie gave Shaw a quick hug before leaving. After she left, Shaw just stood in the center of the room absolutely flabbergasted. the room looked so warm and inviting a huge juxtaposition from what she had been used to ever since she left home.
Suddenly a small glow came from the journal she opened it up and saw that a new paragraph was now written.
"Lovely isn't it? I'd get comfortable not just with the room but with Charlie's "Rehabilitation Activities" To make it look convincing. I'll be in touch..."
Shawntelle looked at the list of "Rehabilitation Activities":
Arts and Crafts
Meditation
Tai Chi
Yoga
Zumba/Dancing
Shaw just cringed she wasn't going to enjoy this at all...
Shaw turned to the bathroom and decided to take a shower. after taking her clothes off she noticed a bottle of rubbing alcohol and make-up sponges with a note reading: "Clean your eye socket once a day, wouldn't want an infection would we?"
She stepped in the shower and turned on the hot water. the new demon felt an unexpected amount of relief as the water ran down her body. It dawned on her she hadn't had a "normal" shower ever since she left home, as the Lost Neighbourhood bathed using hot water in a metal bucket often without soap, one of the reasons Shaw had a short haircut.
Shaw stepped out of the bathroom feeling much better.
"Someone looks pleased" a voice spoke suddenly
The new demon quickly turned around with a green ball of fire in one hand ready to throw it at the intruder. She saw Alastor standing in front of the closed door.
"Now, now darling," the radio demon said "No need to be alarmed"
Shaw extinguished the flame 'What the fuck do you want?'
"I just was delivering your key" he tossed over the key "and there's another matter I wish to discuss with you..."
Shaw glared 'Make it quick' her eye projected.
"Thank you, I'm going to cut to the chase, I know you're not here for redemption I mean just look at you! armed to the teeth and looking like you clawed out of an army camp."
Shaw was about to "speak" up
"But!" The radio demon interrupted "I don't want to know what it is because something tells me that when the truth inevitably comes out on its own, well let's say it will be quite a show!"
'Whatever' Shaw said
"Well have a good night Shawn," Alastor said with a strained smile "and welcome to Hell"
After the radio demon left Shawn wondered if it's him who gave her the clothes and weapons. The journal glowed again a new line was written: "No, I'm not that weirdo thank you very much"
okay creepy
Shaw set down the book onto the desk and leaned her sword on a corner, she took off her clothes placing them on the chair. She then climbed into the bed, as soon as her head hit the pillow she was out cold.
Meanwhile, Pete, Tom, and Hannah got back to the Lost Family HQ. The HQ is a trailer park a good distance away from the city. the three gang members ran into the trailer in the middle of the park and burst through the door.
The leader of the Lost Family almost fell out of his chair when the three distraught members burst through "You better have a good reason to burst in here"
"Shaw's been killed, the Rivals ran us off the road!" Tom explained
The leader had an emotionless expression on her face as she reached for a megaphone and opened the window "Emergency Meeting" she yelled "Emergency Meeting"
