Chapter 1: Not A Love Story...Right?

Friendships, or even love, can be complicated things at time. While some have good experiences, others do not. It's difficult to even say how a relationship, any relationship, should go. Especially when you're in Hell. A good majority, but not everyone, wanted to find love. To date, to find that special someone in their life. Which is what this story is going to focus on. But it's going to be a bit more complicated then that. Because this is a story of two figures. One who has dedicated her life to her child and the other seeking to repair broken trust. Will the two manage to find common ground, even love, together? Or will pains of their past prevent them from coming together?

When Elli Lablanc had arrived down in Hell, she only had one goal in her mind, find her son. Being as she used to be a former angel up in Heaven, that dream was once just that, a dream. Since arriving in Hell, it had came true. She found her son, Alastor, got a job working for his fellow Overlord and good friend, Rosie. Got a second free-lance job as being a consultant for the hotel that the Princess of Hell owned. She even made friends! Except well... there was two hiccups. One was a gentleman from her past, Alastor's father, Adam.

Now, Elli and Adam were never together in the first place. But they did know each other from growing up in New Orleans. While Adam had fancied the strong-willed and determined woman, she did not. So after a traumatic experience one night from him, she found herself pregnant with Adam's child. Fortunately for her, he was charged and killed for what he did. Since they have ran into each other at the hotel, she's been keeping her distance from him. Truthfully, she didn't want Alastor to have anything to do with Adam as well, but he was an adult and he could what he pleased.

Besides Adam, she had another man that caused her some trouble. Vox. Alastor's hated rival. Several months of being down in Hell, the TV-headed demon had come up to her with the idea and sob-story of him wanting to be friends with Alastor, and that their rivalry was all based on a misunderstanding. Feeling sympathy, she agreed to help him out. That ended up coming to light that she was lied to. That he was just using her to get at Alastor. Using her time, attention and emotions to disregard her son's feelings. She felt horrible when she discovered the truth. And furious.

Now, that months had past, and he had managed to get her agree to try and be just her friend again, he was really hoping to earn her trust back. But there was something else that had been added to the mix. After the battle between him and Alastor, he had ended up confessing his love for her. In some vain attempt in maybe that she felt the same way. She didn't. But it didn't hurt him too bad. Because he was sure that in time, he'd hope to make her understand that he really is serious about carting about her. He just had to be diligent. Hopefully one day, she would return his affections...

Elli, the Southern Doe-demon, was currently sitting in the library, patching up one of Angel Dust's dresses as Niffty was reading one of her fanfictions to her. She loved seeing the little female's eye light up when someone takes an interest in her stories and fanart. While a majority of them would startle the more conservative of sinners (Alastor most of all), she knew that just praising the younger female brought a huge smile on her face. While she was at first hesitant at the idea of Nifty writing stories about her son commiting such lewd acts with others, feeling it was a violation of some sort, but she learned that it all just a fantasy. Something that would remain as wishful thinking. And thinking of their time in the human world, she agreed.

How could she not? She too had dreamed of the day that Alastor would find the sweet girl of his dreams and settle down to start a family. She'd often tease him back then, and even now, about dating. It actually had become a fun bit of banter between them. Any time he would speak to someone, especially the females in Cannibal Colony and Mimzy, she'd make a comment to him about courting them. It was just basically harmless teasing between a mother and her son.

He, of course, did the same to her in turn. They had a very strong relationship. While she knew that most of the Sinners in the hotel didn't have the same with their own parents, she had no problems stepping in when the needed it. A few of them, like Angel Dust, had taken to calling her, Mom. Though Alastor had some reservations at first. She was brought out of her thoughts when Niffty asked her a question.

"Ms. Elli?"

The doe-demon looked up at her.

"Yes dear?"

"Do you think finding love is possible down here?"

The older woman was surprised at the question. She hummed as she thought. Seeing the relationships between most Sinners, it was hard to believe that love existed. But there was many married couples and some genuine ones that were dating, such as Charlie and Vaggie. She then turned to the smaller woman.

"I do believe it's possible. It's just the matta' of findin' 'em. 'Nd believin' no matta' what."

This caused the housekeeper to let out a happy squeal and hug her. Niffty was a sweet darling girl. After months of living at the hotel and helping her out, she had managed to learn what her sin and what her death was. Her heart ached for the her and she happily took a shine to her like she was a daughter. She could even see that Alastor enjoyed her company as well. She was pretty sure that Alastor saw her as a little sister. She could see that she did tend on fancying the men around them, but she had a suspicious feeling that she was more attracted to the little angler-fish demon, Baxter.

Personally, she thought they'd make a cute little couple. And the two could balance each other out. Baxter's introverted, grumpy, realist and somewhat neurotic personality would compliment well with Niffty's sweet, extroverted, optimistic views. She... what's the word Niffty used? Ships them? Yes. That's it. She absolutely ships them. She did think they would be a very good couple. She had also been working on her accent. Making it not so thick. While she herself did't see anything wrong with it, she remembered Alastor learning to speak in the Transatlantic accent in order to help him be more clear on the radio. So she took some tips from him to

"Ms. Elli, do you think you'll find love to?" She asked.

Elli smiled at her, petting her hair.

"Not fer me cher. Ya'll know my story 'bout Adam. I'm happy wit' all of ya. What use is findin' a man when I have all the love I need right now?"

"Oh I get it! Alastor says the same!"

The former angel chuckled. She was about to reply when Niffty gasped.

"Oh my gosh what time is it!?" She zipped over to the clock. "Oh goodness! I need to finish up my rounds! And who knows what type of messes have been made in my absent! Oh no, no, no! This won't do! This won't do at all!"

She gathered up all of her stories and looked at Elli.

"Thanks for listening to my stories, Ms. Elli! I'll update you on any progress! I'll see you later!"

And with that the little beetle-demon was gone. Elli chucked once she was gone. She looked over Angel's dress to see that she was finally finished. She drapped it over her arms as she stood up. She headed towards his room. Love existed everywhere. And she knew that it takes the matter of time of finding it. After all for her, her life and afterlife didn't have need a love story. ...Right?

Elli doesn't need a man in her life right? After all, she has Alastor, and all of her friends! But apparently... her love story isn't finished.

I hope you enjoy the first chapter! Stay tuned!
