Hey guys!
This is a surprise story I did for my dear friend, Park Ryder, who cheered me up and helped me when I had a rough day.
This is from an RP she and I did back in September and this is my way of showing my thanks.
Enjoy!
I don't own Hazbin Hotel or the characters.
I don't own Sonya, Liz, Azarel, or Zella. They belong to Park Ryder.
I don't own Bozzwick. He's from Vivzipops old Zoophobia comic.
It was another day at the hotel when Charlie and the others were relaxing in the lobby and an angry Vaggie comes downstairs holding a muddy Fat Nuggets in her arms, walking straight to Angel Dust, who was filing his nails at the bar.
Vaggie held up the dirty piggy by his scuff and angrily asked, "Explain why THIS was in my room, covered in filth, and rolling around on my bed?!"
"Hey hey easy!" Angel carefully snatches him away, "You're holding him too rough! He's just a baby!"
"Angel, my bed is cover in mud because your filthy pet!" She yelled.
"How dare you!" he gasped dramatically before cooing at the piggy, "It's okay baby, daddy won't let that mean bitch harpy hurt you."
Fat Nuggets oinked and nuzzle on Angel's chest despite being muddy and Angel didn't care in the slightest.
"Thanks to that swine, my pillows and sheets are all messed up with mud!"
"Oh he can't help it. Mud is good for piggies It help with their skin." Angel gently petted his little baby piggy.
"Whatever! Just keep your pest out of my room! And give him a bath!" Vaggie demanded.
"Okay okay! Sheesh!" the spider demon rolled his eyes and flipped her off.
Charlie came to the bar and saw the commotion, "Whats going on here?"
"Angels pig messed up my bed...again!" Her friend pointed angrily.
"It not his fault!" Angel defended."
"Then who's fault is it?!"
"Not mine!" Angel flipped off Vaggie again as he went to give Fat Nuggets a bath.
"Will you guys calm down?" Charlie got between them. And then the phone rang, "I'll get it. *picks it up* Hello?"
"Hi Charlie." Her uncle, Azarel, answered.
Charlie smiles hearing his voice, "Oh hey Uncle Azarel! What's up?"
We need your help, dear."
"Whats wrong?" She frowned immensely concern.
"It's Liz," he answered worriedly, "she's acting out."
"What you mean acting out?"
"Shes been acting more...wild than usual lately."
"Oh it's that bad?" She asked in confusion, "But she hasn't acted like that since when she was little. Do you want me to come over and help?"
"Yes please. We need you more than ever."
"I'll be right there. Bye." Charlie says goodbye and hangs up before turning to her friends, "Guys I have to go to my Uncle and Aunts place."
"Why? What's wrong?" Vaggie asked in concern.
"Liz is acting out."
"So? It's Hell, kids act out all the time." Angel said casually as he held Fat Nuggets in a towel.
Charlie shook her head, "It's worse than usual and her parents need my help but I can't do it alone. Will you guys help me?"
"Of course, we love to help." Vaggie smiles at her.
"I'm in." Angel did the same.
Charlie and Vaggie looked at him in surprise, "Wow! I'm surpsied you wanna go, Angel."
"Hey, Liz is my buddy and I want to make sure she's okay." he turns to Husk, "Huskikins, I need you to watch my baby boy while I'm gone."
Husk spit out his drink and groaned, "Oh come on! Again?!"
"Hey! I paid you, didn't I?" Angel gave him the puppy eyes, "Come on. Pretty please? I'll even pay you."
"Ugh fine!" Husk gave up and slammed his head on the bar table.
"Thanks babe! And if ya want, I can pay you back another way. He raised his eyebrows and said in a flirty tone.
"Oh fuck off!" The cat demon hissed.
"Alright baby, now be a good boy for Uncle Husky." Fat Nuggets oinked sadly and licked Angel's face, "Aww, Mama will be back soon. Now be a good boy for me." He playfully tapped Fat Nuggets' nose before setting him down.
"Alright now let's go." Charlie said as she and her two friends headed to the door.
They left the hotel to go to Sonya/Liz's house; once they arrived, they got out of the limo, knocked on the door and Azarel opened it.
"Hi Uncle Azarel!" Charlie smiles and waved.
"Ah Charlie! Thank you so much for coming." Azarel hugged his niece.
Charlie hugged him back and said, "Hey you know I would do anything for family."
"So what's wrong with her, sir?" asked Vaggie.
Azarel lets go of Charlie and answers, "She just been acting up lately and it's worrying me and her mother."
"How bad?
"This bad." Zella, Charlie's aunt, comes up from behind and shows them a broken punching bag, "If this keep up she will never be glad."
Angel raises his eyebrow in confusion, "Say what now?"
"I do fear my Liz would do something drastic and her mind not being clear."
"Princess, what is your aunt saying?" Angel whispered to Charlie.
"She's afraid of Liz doing something reckless." Charlie whispers back.
"Ohhh okay." He fun stood before adding, "She speaks very weird."
"Angel!" She hissed.
"What? She does!"
Vaggie clears her throat and asked, So how can we be of help?"
"Maybe you can talk to her." Azarel suggested.
"We have tried but she not giving us an answer nor has she replied." Zella said with sad eyes.
"You mean she's not talking to anyone?"
"Not even Sonya?" added Charlie.
"No." Azarel explained, "Everytime we change the twins, Liz somehow control's arm to prick her finger so they can switch again."
"Whoa! I never seen her do that before!" Charlie said in shock.
"Maybe it's something serious." Vaggie nodded, "Is there anything we can do to stop her?"
"Maybe we should talk to her." Angel said, "Couldn't hurt to try."
"Shes right upstairs."
"Thank you."
They went upstairs and Charlie knocked on the door," Liz? Sonya? It's me Cousin Charlie." There was no answer and that made the Princess worry even more.
"Maybe she went out?" Angel said as he opened the door and saw her room empty.
"She's gone!" Charlie panicked.
"But where did she go?!" Vaggie looked around the room.
"I don't know but we gotta find her! Lets go!"
After telling her aunt and uncle of the situation, Charlie and the others headed out to find Liz before something terrible happened.
"Liz!"
"Liz!"
"Lil Tiger!"
"Where are you?!" Charlie called out, "Please come home!"
Then they heard explosions and yelling from demons running away from whatever caused it.
"What the fuck was that?!" Vaggie looked around.
"It sounds like a battle!" Angel brushed himself off, I didn't know about any turf wars today."
They followed the sound and saw Liz fighting Vox with her scissor blades.
Liz stood back in a battle stance, "Back off, Flat Face!"
"How dare you say that to me, you little freak!" Vox snapped at her, You destroyed one of my TVs!"
"So?! It's a free country!" She flipped him off with both fingers.
Vox felt the static buzz all over his face as his anger grew, "You little bitch! I'll kill you!
Vox used his cable whips as an attempt to attack Liz but Liz use her scissors to cut them like pieces of string.
"Ha!" She laughed, "Gotta do better than that, Flat Face! You can't even fight a newborn kitten, let alone beat me!"
Vox began to use his cable wires again to swing them around Liz and tie her up.
"Say that again, you fucking brat!" He sneered in her face.
"Gladly! You are weaker than a two legged beetle!" Liz scoffed. And you're trash just like that Trash Rat Valentino!"
"Shut your mouth!"
"Make me!
"With pleasure!" Vox said with a wicked smile.
With his electric powers, he began to shock her by sending the shocks from his hands to the wires surrounding Liz.
"LIZ!"
Vox turned around and saw Charlie and the others standing in front them and brandishing their own weapons.
"Let her go!" Charlie demanded.
"At once!" Vaggie added.
"Ya better listen or we will make you pay in a painful way!" yelled Angel.
"Well well well. The former slutty star has returned!" Vox taunted.
Since Angel was spending most of his fine at the hotel, he pretty much avoided Valentino by any means necessary; and even though he got paid less and even threatened, Angel though it was better that way.
"I'm still a star!" Angel said in an offended tone, "And a better one without your rat boss! Let go of my friend!"
"Or else!"
Vox defied them, "No!"
"Alright, you asked for it!"
Vaggie began to attack Vox by throwing angelic knifes but he used he cables and threw them back at them.
"Look out!" Angel pushed them out of the way and onto the ground.
"Owww!" Charlie said after the rough landing.
"Sorry babes!" Then he took out his guns and began to shoot at Vox, "Take this you plastic freak!"
Vox fell to the ground and when he reached for his cables, Charlie stomped on his hand with all her might.
"Let my cousin go! By order of the princess! And trust me, she started turning to her demonic side, "you don't wanna mess with me when I'm pissed! Now for the final time, GIVE HER BACK!"
Vox screamed as he let go of Liz and ran off screaming like a girl. However, Liz look more pissed than grateful as she threw the wires off her.
Vaggie saw this and scoffed, "Well you're welcome! You could at least say thanks after you got yourself in danger and worried your cousin to death!"
"I didn't need your help!" Liz shot back rudely, "I could've handle it myself!"
Charlie was taken back and said, "But we just wanted to help you-"
"Well I didn't need your help!" She interrupted her cousin, "Just leave me alone..."
Angel rolled his eyes and reached out to the girl, "Come on Tiger, we are taking you home."
She slapped his hand away and said, "I don't want to! I'm going out!"
Having had enough, Charlie stood over her and scolded her cousin, "No Liz! You're coming home with us whether you like it or not!"
Charlie grabbed her hand tightly and brought Liz back home. At home, Chaldean explained everything that happened with Liz and Vox and her parents weren't happy with their young daughter."
"Liz I can't not believe you were fighting against an overlord! You could of been killed!" Azarel berated in a concerned voice.
"Whatever..."
"What did you say, young lady?!
Liz shot a glare at her father, "I said whatever! I can do what I want! I'm sick of people telling me what to do and treat me like garbage! This is Hell! I can do whatever I want!"
"That's it young lady!" Zella pointed to the stairs, "Go to your room unless you wanna face more doom!"
"No! You're not the boss of me!" She yelled at everyone in the room, "NONE OF YOU ARE! And I'm going to my room because I felt like it. I CAN DO WHAT I WANT!"
Liz stomps up to her room and slam the door, which shook the house for a moment.
"Geez what a bi-" Angel was about to say.
"ANGEL!" Everyone said at once.
"What? She is!" He shrugged and sighed, "So how are you gonna punish her? Is she going to get a good spanking?"
Charlie looked at him in shock, "Angel, why would you even ask that?!"
"Because she was acting bad!"
"Regardless if she got into a jam, we'd never raise our hand." Zella calmly said.
"And besides, you wouldn't be like that if somebody offer to spank Gina!" Vaggie pointed out.
"And how would Gina feel if she heard you say that?!" asked Charlie.
Angel thought for a second and realized they did have a point. Because of Gina's terrible past, she has grown to have a fear of spankings and even the mere mentioning of the word makes her shake; Angel wouldn't wish that on his dear mortal friend.
"Alright alright! Sheesh!" he raised his hands up, "How about a time out?"
"That's for little kids." said Vaggie.
"Uh...Soap in the mouth?"
"That's for swearing." said Charlie.
"Going to bed early? I heard that's a good punishment or no dessert for a week."
Charlie shook her head and sighed, "I don't know. Maybe I should just go talk to her and figure this out."
Vaggie nodded in agreement, "Good idea, hon. Maybe you can reason with her."
"After all, you are her favorite cousin." Angel added with a smile.
"And you are the voice of reason whenever she needed it the most." Her uncle placed a hand on her shoulder.
Charlie smiles back and said, "That's true. I'll be right back."
She goes upstairs and to Liz's room; she paused for a moment before knocking on the door.
"Liz? Liz? it's me, Charlie."
She went inside and saw nobody was in there; Charlie knew her aunt out a spell on the window so her daughter wouldn't sneak out again so she didn't panic. Then suddenly, Liz came crashing down and pounce on Charlie.
Then Liz said, "Sorry Cuz. I knew you would wanna talk. But there's nothing you can do that can make me talk."
But unknowingly to Liz, Charlie grabbed Liz's right ankle and pull it up and made her fall on to the ground.
"Did you really think that move knock me out?" the older cousin smirked, "I use to do it to my dad all the time."
Liz was struggling in vain to get loose, "Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!"
"Nope! You need your lesson and you're gonna learn it the hard way!"
Then, Liz felt Charlie taking off her sneaker and soon dreaded what she had planned.
"W-What are you doing?"
"Something I haven't done to you in a long time, baby cousin." Charlie three the sneaker aside.
"N-No! You can't!" Liz struggles even more, "Anything but that!"
"Nope! It has to be done!"
Charlie took off Liz's sock, held her down, and starts to tickle her foot
"Nooo!, she starts laughing, "N-No! Hahaha!Stop! Q-Quit it!"
"Nope!" Charlie chuckled as she continued to tickle her cousin, "This is what you deserve! Give up now?"
"Hahahaha! N-No!"
"Alright suit yourself." She tickles harder and Liz kept laughing hard, "I'll stop when you want to talk. Otherwise, I'm not stopping."
After a few minutes of tickling, Liz realized she couldn't take it anymore and begged.
"Haha! Okay! Okay! I give up! I'll talk!"
Charlie sighed happily and said, "That's better." She stops and helps Liz up, "You know even though you're eleven now, you're still ticklish on your feet."
"Okay okay, you got me." Liz panted to catch her breath, "You haven't done that to me in a long time."
"Now what's going on, honey?" Charlie asked in a soft but serious voice, "Why are you acting this way?"
Not wanting to push away her cousin anymore, Liz sighs deeply and answered, "It's school..."
"What about it?"
"It's hard for explain..."
"You can tell me." Charlie gently rubbed her back, "I'm your favorite cousin."
"Well...alright." Liz looked down, "Remember Bosswick?"
"Yes?" she nodded.
"I ran into him again at school the other day and let's just say things got ugly fast." Liz started to explain.
(Flashback)
After class, Liz was walking in the hallway until she heard a familiar voice.
"Give me your lunch money!"
Liz turned around and saw Bozzwick; he wore red plaid boots and red pants to match, and a jumper, which shows his constantly bleeding chest and bandage around it. But she only glared as he was trying to bully her friend, Raina.
"Give me ya money, ya freak!" He threatened as he towered over Raina.
"No!" Raina said.
"Leave her alone, you fucking wuss!" Liz yelled at him.
Bozzwick turned around and saw Liz glaring daggers at him; some of the students scattered away while others stayed behind and watched what was about to unfold.
"Remember me, Bozz-Bitch?!"
Bozzwick rolled his eyes and snarled, "Aw great, another freak! Now get lost!"
"No, You get lost before I get tough!" Liz said back.
"Yeah!" Raina said in defense, "My friend is a Gemini!"
"Shut up, bitch!" Bozzwick shoved her down, "Besides, don't you know anything about the Gemini's?"
"What about them?" asked Raina as she stood up.
"Yeah, what of it?"
"They are not but mentally ill freaks!" Bozzwick said out loud, "Ones that should be locked up like wild rats!"
Liz got even more angry and shouted, "Hey! That isn't true! My cousin told me I'm just as normal as any other demon!"
"How you know she didn't lie to your face?"
"What did you say?!" She clenched her fists tight.
Bozzwick got up in her face and glared again, "Your cousin is a big fat liar! She just said that because she felt sorry for you."
With all her fury, Liz grabs him by the collar and slams him against the wall.
"I'm gonna make you sorry you ever said that!" She said with clenched teeth.
"Oh please!" Bozzwick scoffed and rolled his eyes, "I can see it in your eyes that even you think it's a lie. You don't wanna admit that you're a freak of nature and the only reason you're alive is because they pity you!"
"Shut up!" Liz punched him in the jaw, "Pity that!"
Bozzwick only laughs it off, Face it. The whole Gemini thing is proof that you're nothing but a crazy freak! You just can't handle the truth and the love your family give you is a joke. They just pity you and is ashamed of you!"
"Shut the hell up!" Liz attacks bozzwick with a barrage of punches and scratches, "You don't know anything! You're just a no good bully who shouldn't even be here! You don't know anything about me!"
"I know your birth was a mistake." he spat at her.
"Yeah and your parents adopted you out of pity." Liz shot back.
"Fuck you! I don't need parents. Just like your parents don't need you cause you bring shame to your family name!"
The Gemeni's anger exploded as she punched him again in the stomach, Fuck you! You don't know anything! You're a total heartless jerk! You don't even belong in Hell!"
She kept beating him up until the teachers got involved and both kids got suspended for a couple weeks.
(End flashback)
"I kept beating him until everything got hazy and the teachers pulled us off. He just made me so angry that I lost it and it really hurt when he said all that stuff..." Liz finished as tears formed in her eyes.
Charlie felt her own tears glisten her eyes as she wrapped Liz in a tight hug, "Oh Liz...I'm so sorry that happened to you."
"Am I really a mistake..." she asked sadly.
"No, no you're not." Charlie hugged her tighter.
Liz only sighed and looked away, "Let face it, Cuz...I'm a mess and I'm nothing but trouble. I made Sonya's first six years of our life a living hell and she ended up getting hated by everyone for it."
"You didnt mean it, though." The older girl tried to comfort her cousin.
"But I made Sonya miserable...I stressed out our parents...Our other cousins hate me...And my friends always get into trouble because of me...I don't even deserve to be here." Liz said as tears rolls down her face.
Hearing enough of this self pity, Charlie took her cousin by the shoulders, and looked straight into her eyes.
"Liz that's enough! I don't want to hear anymore of that kind of talk!"
Liz looks up at her cousin with slightly puffy eyes.
"But-"
"No buts! Now listen." Chalice calmed herself before continuing, "I don't ever regret meeting you or you being born. I love you being part of the family. You being the Gemini is a beautiful thing because it shows that you have your twin sister within you. Your existence means a lot to me and It means a lot to everybody who care and love you."
Liz: Thats true. Liz nodded and wiped her eyes, "But what he said really hurt me..."
"I know but he won't hurt you anymore." She smiled confidently, "
Knowing her cousin was right, Liz hugged her cousin tightly and even cried a little more; no matter what happened at a school, she knew her family and friends will always be there for her. She even felt ashamed for the way she acted toward everyone and worrying her family so much.
"Shhh, it's okay." Charlie quietly shushed and hugged her, "It's okay let it all out. I'm right here for you."
"I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry for acting like a total monster to everyone..." Liz cried into her cousins shoulder, "I behave like such an brat...And not the good kind like Angel. And I don't know if anyone will forgive me...not even mom and dad..."
"Of course we do, honey."
They turned around and saw her parents with Angel and Vaggie standing at the door and looking at her with sad smiles.
"Mom? Dad? What are you doing here?" She asked.
"We wanted to check up on you." Her father came into the room first.
Feeling ashamed, Liz looked away from everyone, "...how much did you hear?"
"Everything my dear, but do not fear." Zella knelt down in front of her daughter, "We aren't mad for telling us the truth has made us glad."
Liz tears up even more as Charlie lets her go and her parents have her a warm hug
"I'm happy to have a daughter like you and Sonya." Azarel rubbed her back.
"And it's true because we both love you." Zella kissed her forehead.
Liz smiled for the first time in so long, "Ohh...I love you guys too!"
She cries more in her parents arms as her cousin and two friends watched in silence, finally happy they got the back the Liz they love again. Liz kept crying for a while until she passed out in her parents arms.
"Poor dear." Azarel scooped her you, "She cried herself out."
Charlie stood up and asked, "You want is to leave?"
"It's okay, dear." Zella said as she prepared Liz's bed, "If you wish, you can stay here."
"Yeah I mean she had a tough last few days." Her husband agreed as he tucked in their daughter, "I had no idea she felt this way."
"Neither have I." Zella rubbed her hair, "Sometimes I feel like a bad mother who can't tell my daughters is having a bother..."
"Don't say that, auntie." Charlie shook her head, You're not a bad mother"
"To be honest: I feel the same way..." her uncle sighed deeply.
"Come on guys, you are great parents. You love both sonya and Liz and that what really matters. She just needs extra help, that's all and it's okay for asking for a little help cause we are family." She said honestly, "I mean no parent is perfect, not even mine."
"Or mine." added Angel.
Vaggie added, "Not even mine."
"See? You can always come to me for help and the hotel is always open to you and the girls."
"Thank you Charlie." Her aunt smiled happily.
"You're the best niece we can ever ask." Azarel and his wife hugged Charlie close.
"Thanks." Charlie hugged back.
They tuck in Liz a little more and everyone left the room as quietly as they could. Liz smiled in her sleep knowing she has a great family and wonderful friends who truly cared for her.
As for Bozzwick, well let's just say he got the worst wedgie in his life and it was broadcasted the very next day on Channel 666.
(The End)
