Tell Daddy
Charlie gets in the taxi.
- To the Magne castle please. – she says to the driver.
She leans back and takes a deep breath.
„I can't believe that Mira would do anything wrong to the Hotel." – she thinks – „She helped us a lot."
Charlie turns back to take a look at the Hotel. Many thoughts are rushing through her mind. Even though she is proud of what she has achieved, she is still afraid. Afraid of her father. She hasn't seen him for ages. The last time she did they had a huge fight.
„- Why do you want to live in that ugly hotel child? – Lucifer asked Charlie next to the entrance of their castle.
- It is closer to the center. – Charlie answered looking at her feet.
- Yes and that's why it is more dangerous to our kind. – Lucifer insisted.
- Yeah…our kind. – Charlie said ironically.
- What did you say? – Lucifer asked.
- Nothing Dad... – she still stared at her feet.
- Like it or not you are the Princess and…
- What if I don't want to be a princess? – suddenly she looked at her father - No one asked me about that. I'm just like everybody else, like my people.
- You are different! You are the heir of the throne. – Lucifer reached to her hair - You must obey and act as a royalty.
- That is the problem, - she turned her head away - it is a „must" and I just want to live a simple life as everyone else and help my people. – Charlie got on her coat.
- Where are you going? – Lucifer asked.
- To the hotel. – Charlie replied plain.
- Charlotte Magne I order you to stay! – Lucifer said firmly.
- NO! Don't call me that! – Charlie shouted - I've had enough! Leave me alone!"
„What a fight…" – she thinks sadly. She regretted what she said to him. She loves her dad. The taxi stops in front of the castle's gate.
- Thank you! – she says to the driver and gets out.
„Here comes nothing." – she thinks as she approaches the front door.
- Hello Dad! – Charlie greets her father.
- Charlie! My dear! – Lucifer opens his arms towards her waiting for a hug but she doesn't move - I'm glad you finally visited us. It's been such a long time. – he smiles.
- Yeah I know… - Charlie looks at her feet shyly.
They enter the castle and walk to the living room.
- So tell me. Why is the sudden visit? – Lucifer gestures to the coach.
- Uhm…well. – Charlie takes a seat - You might have heard some rumors about the hotel.
- Yes indeed. – Lucifer sits opposite to her.
- I just wanted to tell you, that… I did it! – she says proudly - I achieved my dream and I help the souls to find redemption.
- Yes my dear I've heard about that. – Lucifer says examining his daughter - And I am proud of you.
- No, listen to me! – Charlie argues - I did it and… say what? – she looks at her Dad surprised.
- I am proud of you my sweet girl. – Lucifer gently smiles at her - I always knew that you can make it.
- But you always told me that my dream is a joke and I should forget about it. – Charlie says in disbelief.
- I know, but I did that on purpose. – Lucifer leans back - I wanted you to stand out for yourself and go for your dreams. And look at you! – he smiles again - You managed to do that. I always knew you could.
- Dad…I don't know what to say. – Charlie looks at her father blushing.
- You don't have to say anything my dear. – Lucifer stands up - Now come. Let us join your mother in the dining room.
Charlie and Lucifer enters the dining room. The dining table is set nicely. Candles are lit, the decoration is stunning. Charlie's mom, Lillith is an elegant lady. Not only in home decor, but also in clothing. Her blond hair flows down on her tall and slim figure. Her eyes are entrancing.
- Charlie! – she greets her daughter opening her arms towards her.
- Mom! – Charlie runs to her into a hug. She was Daddy's little daughter until they had their fight, but her Mom was always special to her.
- I'm glad you are here my girl. – Lillith strokes Charlie's hair - I made pancakes just for you. – Lillith looks gently at her.
- Awww thanks Mom. – Charlie looks up to her touched.
Lillith gestures to the chairs.
- Take a seat and tell me everything about the hotel and your success. – Lillith says.
- Well. – Charlie sits down and reaches to the pancakes - First we cleaned the whole hotel. – Charlie starts with enthusiasm in her eyes - Then we thought about the training process.
- Under „We" who do you mean? – Lillith asks curiously.
- There is Vaggie, and Angel Dust and…
- The pornstar? – Lucifer asks.
- How do you know that my dear? – Lillith asks Lucifer a bit annoyed.
- Aaaa you know aaa – Lucifer stammers.
- Didn't you see my interview on TV Mom? – Charlie asks a bit disappointed.
- Yes they talked about him in that interview. – Lucifer relieves.
- Ah right, I watched that. – says Lillith still starring at Lucifer.
- So there is also Alastor, Husk and Niffty. – Charlie finishes the listing - Oh and a new demon joined us, her name is Mira! – Lucifer spits out his tea hearing that name.
- Who? – asks Lillith surprised.
- Mira! – Charlie repeats smilling - She is very kind, and actually it's all thanks to her. She helped me a lot.
- Mira?! – Lucifer looks at Charlie shocked.
- Do you know her Dad? – Charlie asks questioningly. Lucifer stays silent for a second.
- Maybe I do. – he takes a sip of his tea.
- Anyway actually before I came here to visit you Angel told me that he saw Mira doing some crazy magic stuff to a demon. – Lucifer and Lillith both looking at Charlie worried - Hypnotizing him or something like that.
- What?! - Lucifer spits out his tea again.
- But Angel is jealous of her – Charlie tries to calm her parents - I'm sure he made up the whole story.
Lucifer jumps up off his seat.
- Get in the car, now! – he shouts at Charlie.
- What's wrong Dad? – Charlie looks at him shocked.
- I'll tell you on our way to the Hotel.
In the meantime the tension rises at the Hotel.
- Look Angel I have no intention of hurting anyone here. – Mira still stands in front of Angel whom crosses his arms in front of his body.
- I don't fucking believe you Foxy. I've seen you hypnotizing a demon in a room. What are you up to? – says Angel threateningly.
- Nothing really. – Mira turns away ready to leave - Now if you please I have some things to do.
- It's okay I'll go with you. – Angel follows her. Mira turns back quickly staring at him nervously.
- No, I should go alone. – she emphasizes.
- I cannot let you do that Foxy. Whatever the fuck you are about to do, I'll be there. – he says.
Mira lets out a sigh.
- You wanna be there Spidey? Yeah, you wanna be there? – Mira steps closer to him. - Then I let you witness my glory, be the VIP guest of the party. – she looks him deep in the eye.
Suddenly Mira opens her black feathered wings that she hid all along. Her hair falls on her shoulders and two horns appear on the top of her head. The color of her eyes are changing to pink with purple circles in them and two red patches appear on her cheeks.
- What the fuck are you? – Angel asks.
- Your worst nightmare. – Mira replies.
