Sugar sat at the vanity mirror in Crimson's bedroom. It was littered with various of her perfumes and make up sets that smelled heavy of different types of desserts scents. She stared blankly at the mirror and the fresh black eye she had received earlier that struggled to hold her brush steady. Her hands trembled as he thought about what led her to this point. Taking a larger amount of money from Crimson's bank account to pay Striker wasn't the smartest idea she had but she didn't expect him to react the way he did. She didn't want to think about how she would pay that money back. She didn't want to walk the streets but there was no other option. Her position in the family was at risk.
"Hiya Sugar!"
A imp woman with white hair in a ponytail style crawled through the window and landed onto the floor. This caused Sugar to scream.
"Who the hell are you? What are you doing here? This place is supposed to be heavily guarded!" Sugar jumped out of the vanity chair and scrambled to find something she could use as a weapon.
"Sugar cube,it's me Cherry. We met at your welcome party." The imp smiled as she watched Sugar scramble around the room. "I heard you fighting with Crim from outside. Do you need some help?"
Sugar paused for a few minutes while looking at Cherry up and down. She struggled to remember this imp. Cherry wore a black long sleeve shirt, white tie, gray overalls, and a gray fedora. She dressed most members of Crimson's mob and that put Sugar and ease.
"Cherry? Why the hell did you crawl in here? Is this a normal thing you do?"
"Gurl. I'm famous for my breaking and entering skills." Cherry chuckled.
Sugar defeatedly sat down on the king sized bed and sighed. She was in a very emotional state and there was something about Cherry and her wrath ring accent that made her want to spill her thoughts out.
"I don't care. If you're looking to steal something, go ahead."
"Honey, I'm not looking to steal anything. I don't wanna get you in more trouble than you already piece of shit Crimson gets too pissy about his money. It's always about money around here. I'm sick of it." Cherry pulled out a cigarette and started smoking.
"What do you mean? Demons are nothing without money. That's why I gotta get his money back. I gotta fix this."
Cherry put her hand on Sugar's cheek and shook her head. "Sugar. Come stay at my place tonight and I'll give you the money you owe the boss."
"I can't. Sleeping with a member of the family is against the rules."
Cherry chuckled and patted Sugar on the back. "Boss ain't gonna care about you spending time with me. Besides, do you think he cares about following rules himself?"
"I guess not."
"Why don't ya join me on my route. I bet you'd be really good at selling HB" Cherry put her arm around Sugar's shoulder and smirked.
"What's HB? Is that a type of drink?" Sugar tilted her head slightly.
"No sweetie. HB is a narcotic."
"Narcotic?"
"The best kind. Once you take it, you won't feel anything at all." Cherry stared at Sugar's messy attempt to cover her black eye with makeup and then sighed. "It's very popular around here.A lot of gals come to me for a special discount. If you join me, you can easily make up the money you owe."
Sugar and Cherry walked out of the estate towards the streets of Notamafia town. Throughout their walk,Cherry constantly checked her surroundings and glanced at any demon that stepped near them. There was a chance that someone would snitch to Crimson if they were caught together, but they didn't care. They both understood that this was a desperate situation and all that mattered was Sugar survival.
The two imps arrived at an alleyway close to an isolated street. The area felt narrow and tight. It was like they were being squished between two giant brown buildings. Rat Like creatures scampered across the ground and there were bags of trash everywhere. This caused Sugar to grimace. Cherry laid back against the brown walls and rapidly smoked in Sugar's direction.
"I expected ya to act that way. Get used to being in situations like this. If your goal is to stay in Crim's good graces, you're gonna have to be in a lot of places you don't want to." Cherry blew more smoke towards her as she watched the street.
"This is only a one time thing. If I knew you were gonna take me somewhere so gross I would have worn something that covered my skin more. Is this really the best place to sell drugs? We don't gotta hide. There are vending machines on the streets that sell cocaine." Sugar squealed as stepped over the trash.
"Aw, that's so cute. You think HB and cocaine are on the same level. So adorable. I need to get you hooked on something quickly."
Cherry put her hands in her pocket as if she was about to pull something out but she was interrupted by an electric blue limo that loudly stopped in front of her.
"Mah best customers have arrived. These girls are the feisty type. They think they're celebrities. Ain't that funny?"
Cherry nudged Sugar's arm hard. This caused Sugar to lose her balance for a second but she quickly adjusted herself as two aquatic demon girls stepped out of the car. As Sugar saw two girls, her face started to light up. Their blue skin, black sclera, and large eyelashes instantly captivated her.
"I know you two!" Sugar exclaimed
"You do?" the twin with the black eye lashes smiled and bent over in Sugar's direction.
"Of course she knows who we are. We're famous, remember?" The twin with blue lashes replied in a snarky tone.
"Glitz and Glam!" Sugar yelled. Her tail was shaking and her feet were starting to lift off the ground slightly.
"Sugar, You know these gurls?" Cherry looked at the three of them with a face full of confusion.
"Duh. These two are the winners of Mammon's recent clown pageant. Did you not watch it? They were so hot on stage!"
Glitz and Glam smirked at each other once they heard Sugar's statement. They had never had someone react that strongly to their presence before and they were amused by it.
"It's nice to see someone appreciate our talents. Why don't you come with us and praise me some more?" Glitz smirked at Sugar who was bouncing up and down.
"Holy satan! Cherry, you'll cover for me right?"Sugar gave Cherry a pleading look.
"I ain't seeing a problem with it. If the boss asks, I'll tell him you're with a client." Cherry sighed.
Glam flick the large fin on her head in a similar way to hair and looked at Sugar up and down. "Come on succubimp girl. You're our pet project for today."
Glitz and Glam laughed to each other as they dragged Sugar to their limo by her arms. Sugar sat squished between the two of them. This caused her to become flustered.
"You got the HB?" Glam asked as she leaned extremely close to Sugar face.
"Yea. I got the thing."
"Thank Lucifer! We're gonna be shooting a commercial tomorrow and I wanna be completely numb during it." Glitz rolled her eyes as she looked out the window.
"A commercial?"Sugar said as she shifted in her seat.
"Yea. For Mammon's shitty acne cream that doesn't work." Glitz chuckled.
"Then we're gonna do a performance at Loo loo Land." Glam spoke in an unenthusiastic tone.
Despite the way Glitz and Glam spoke about their plans, Sugar didn't pick up that they weren't thrilled about it. She was too mesmerized by their presence to notice the monotone way they talked about their was one thing that did bug her and it was the place they were planning to perform at.
"Loo loo land? The crappy knock off amusement park? Why would you two perform there?"
"Mammon says if we can outperform robo fizz, he'll start making a line of robots of our own to sell." Glam snorted. "We'll win. Obvi."
"I would buy hundreds of sex bots of both of you!" Sugar exclaimed as her wings fluttered.
"Gross" The twins glanced down at her and then suddenly laughed.
"Why get a stupid robot when you can have the real thing?" Glitz smirked
"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Sugar looked into Glitz's aquamarine irises. She thought they were similar to gemstones.
"Glitz can you not be a slut for a second. You always do this." Glam rolled her eyes
"Whatever whore. Don't act like you haven't tried to fuck every dino demon that looks at you." Glitz snorted.
As the twins bickered with each other,Sugar continued to smile. They reminded her of her friends back in her hometown. She didn't want to just sit there and listen to them fighting each other so she decided to quickly change the subject.
"So what's it like working for one of the seven deadly sins?" Sugar asked apprehensively.
"Dreadful. Mammon constantly bitches at us about losing his last mascot." Glam sighed.
Glitz spoke in a playful tone and tried to mimic how Mammon speaks "Wah! I miss Fizzie. Fizzie wouldn't do it that way. You cunts better get your act together."
Glam laughs obnoxiously loud and pat Sugar aggressively on the back "Yea. He definitely sounds like that but you forgot the part with constant talks about the art of clowning. But who cares about that? We won. Mammon's money is basically our money."
"I got a shitty boss too. He's constantly bitching at me." Sugar coughed and then tried to mimic Crimson's accent. "Sugar you're stupid brood and you need make me some more fucking money."
The three demonesses laughed with each other as they continued to talk about how crappy the men they worked for were. They quickly bonded over how much they missed the rings of hell that they came from and laughed about how old-fashioned the demons of the greed ring behaved. They took various photos together. This was the first time Sugar had made true friends in this town.
