Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay in chapters, I've been getting lost in new video game stuff going on and the fact I get to see my girlfriend again in a few weeks :3 We're long distance so I don't get to see them all too often so I'm hella excited and distracted right now lol

Anyway! Hope you all enjoy!

"You want to talk to all of Hell on broadcasted television?" I gave Charlie a skeptical look as my joyful girlfriend just seemed to be buzzing with this electric sense of energy that was just pouring from her taller frame.

"Oh come on Vaggie! What better way to show off the hotel?"

"Babe, there's a million better ways than to let that blonde bimbo of a tv show hostess use you for view bait."

"But what else does all of Hell have in common besides a love for television and thing for knowing everything about the royal families of the world?"

"Do you know about the British monarchy?" Charlie gave me a confused look as I just shook my head for a second. "Nope that is a whole can of worms I'm not getting into right now." I chuckled a little at the pout she gave me as I gave her a small pat to her thigh as we were sitting close together in the back of her family limo. "Just know that there are still princesses and things on Earth too and yeah you're right, everyone likes to know whatever the hell they're doing for some reason."

"So~." Charlie gave a smirk as she leaned into me and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "You admit it's a good idea!"

"I~." I smirked as I nudged my girlfriend gently with my elbow. "Never said that."

"Vaggie~." She drew out my name in such an adorable way as she pouted like a scorned puppy. "Please support me in this. I really think it'll go well." I felt my heart squeeze itself on my chest as I let out a soft sigh.

"I'll support you through anyway, darling." I leaned over to place a quick kiss to the demon's temple before giving her a soft smile. "No matter what."

"Have I said enough that I have the bestest girlfriend in all of Heaven and Hell combined?" I couldn't help but giggle at her as she nuzzled her face against the top of my head.

"How-." My attention snapped over toward the spider demon who I seemed to forget had been joining us on our ride to the hotel at the request of Charlie when she found him. "Disgustingly cute. Mainly disgusting but ya get the point."

"Welcome to your new daily there bud." I smirked as I leaned into my girlfriend's side. "Cause we're god damn adorable."

"Hell yeah!" I giggled at Charlie's enthusiasm as Angel rolled his eyes at us.

"Gotta remember, Angel." He was muttering to himself as he ran a hand through his hair. "Crack is expensive."

"I'm so glad you agreed to come with us though! You're gonna love it at the hotel! Oh!" Charlie about squealed as she seemed to remember something in particular. "And Dad is gonna be so proud we finally got someone to join us there."

"Daddy Lucifer stays with you two there?" Angel's voice had a suggestive tone as he crossed his one leg over the other. "Never met the king before."

"See what I mean about the royals thing?"

"Again, same shit on Earth."

"Really?" I nodded as I just gave a small shrug as I straightened my position next to her.

"Everybody wants a crown, babe."

"Noted." Angel seemed to find us entertaining as he gave a small laugh at the two of us.

"You two are quite the pair." He chuckled a little to himself as he leaned back in the limo seat. "Would you mind if I ask a few questions though? There's been a lot of buzz on the street about ya and not much for answers that seem true if ya know what I mean?"

"What kind of questions?" Charlie answered joyfully as the demon seemed to think nothing of how open-ended the question was from the sinner.

"Is it true?" His tone was quite serious in comparison to how the spider was joking and teasing seconds before. "That the little one is an angel? Everyone has their theories about how you ended up here, but everyone has the same idea that you're one of them."

"I was, yeah." I straightened my back to appear stronger than my emotions let on as I narrowed my eye as the sinner across from me. "I knew the streets were talking about me, but I haven't heard of the theories yet."

"Oh bitch," There was the sinner's teasing tone once more as a wide smile appeared on his face. "There are plenty." I smirked as the atmosphere reminded me of the days when my sisters would gossip with me about their classmates when they were in middle school.

"Spill the tea then."

"Don't need to tell me twice, sister!" Angel seemed to feel a lot more at home with that as he leaned forward and placed all four of his elbows on his thighs with a delighted look on his face. "So I heard initially from this bitch from work that there were whispers of some shit going down during the last murder spread from the halo fuckers." He kept leaning his weight onto two of his elbows but started moving a set of his hands about as he spoke. "And I thought this motherfucker had just done some bad line or shit but then I heard it from a friend of mine named Cherri and I thought well fuck me guess she wasn't strung out!"

"What made you think the first chick was on some bad shit?" I smiled as I wrapped an arm around Charlie who seemed to be lost in the gossip talk.

"Fucking Helen is always dealing with the worst drug dealers this side of the Pentagram, baby." He laughed cheerfully as he leaned back for a second while checking the nails on one of his hands. "Gave that bitch my guy's number but never rang 'em. Too bad. He's got the best shit I've ever had and I was the son of a mobster! We had the best drugs on the north side of Jersey!"

"Knew your accent was familiar. What area of Jersey?"

"Bergen County was my Pop's ring. Union and Essex were in his hands at one point too, but people being greedy can lead to people not having a heady, if ya catch my drift." He gave a wink as I gave a quick nod in reply.

"Gotcha. I saw the same shit where I grew up out in El Salvador so I get what you're saying completely."

"Oooo~." His voice purred as he did a little cat paw thing with his upper right hand. "Latina, rwar. Big bosses's kiddo got taste."

"I'm a lucky girl, I know." I smiled as Charlie's voice spoke so softly that I felt her lean her head on top of mine. "But you were saying your friend Cherri said the same thing as this Helen lady?"

"Oh fuck! Yeah! So," Angel got back into his gossip mode as he leaned forward onto his knees a little more with a wide smile. "When Cherri Bomb told me that, I had to start snooping and I heard my boss talking with his partner about how they saw a dead angel after the executions and that shit made everyone start talking about your appearance and shit."

"Wait," I narrowed my eyes as I pinned a specific detail he said in my head. "A dead angel?"

"Yeah, baby! Who knew those fuckers could die like the rest of us? But oh well, this made everyone think that was why you're here, darling. That you must have killed a fellow angel, got cast out of Heaven for it and it's why no fucks with princess over there. She used to get approached at least once a day from what I heard by someone trying to pull a fast one but ain't nobody gonna fuck with an angel killing angel, mate."

"So everyone thinks Vaggie killed someone to be sent down here? Why assume such a terrible thing?"

"Bitch carries an angelic spear that looks awfully a lot like the ones I've been nearly at the receiving end of and not in a pleasurable way, toots." He shrugged with his upper arms. "Ain't need two brains to rub together to get that answer right on a test." I pulled my gaze away from him as my mind went back to what he said before.

A dead angel. What happened? Did a sinner finally fight back? I wonder if I knew which one got slayed. Probably one of the newer recruits we had before the last execution. Some of them didn't know who to target and who to not fuck with. I bet one of them picked a tussle with one of the stronger sinners and bit off more than they could chew.

I stared down at my hands for a second as the memory of my own gold blood upon them flashed before my eyes.

Does Heaven know? Is that why Sera is willing to look into my case? No good will come from this. There will only be a price to pay. An eye for an eye. That's how Heaven works.

I felt a phantom pain sting through my empty eye socket as I grimaced at the pain for a second.

And we will all pay for it. One way or another.

I felt Charlie give me a gentle squeeze which I rewarded with a small smile despite the war that was raging within my skull.

"I'm okay, darling." I gave her a small pat on her thigh as my mind drifted back to my thoughts.

I need to talk to Lucifer. This could be bad.

Very. Fucking. Bad.
