La Vie En Rose Chapter 29: Fear, a hazbin hotel fanfic

Chapter 29: Fear

A/N: Happy Hazbin Hotel month! We're only a few days away from the show premiering and what better way to celebrate then by a new chapter! I've been seeing people posting short clips of the show from the shows twitter and Instagram pages and oh boy are we all in for a treat. And now that I know that Brandon Rogers is playing Katie Killjoy I'll have to do something special with her *evil laugh*.

I want to say right off the bat, yes I have seen the first two episodes and got early access. I know what's going to happen and I plan on writing those moments soon. If any of you have gotten early access as well, please refrain from saying anything in your reviews in case any of the readers who read this have not seen the episodes and want to be spoiled free. If you have questions regarding those episodes you are more than happy to PM me and I'll answer your questions.

Last time Jenny got herself into a bit of a pickle because she decided to turn Valentino into a pinata and she made the stupid mistake of biting Alastor. Whatever will he do with little Miss. Firecracker?

Let's find out!

Disclaimer: I don't own Hazbin Hotel or Helluva Boss; I just own my characters.

Enjoy!

There were only three things that Jenny was deathly afraid of.

Thunder, swimming and the look Alastor was giving her. She had seen his different types of smiles since being down in the Hell for almost four months now. She could tell when he was happy, when he was annoyed and when he was angry based on how big his smile was.

This smile was none of these.

His grin went so far across his face that it literally reached to his ears. His sharp, pointy teeth turned into rough, jagged pieces showing off black gums. His eyes went completely black, making the iris redder. And his antlers started to grow.

He wasn't angry.

He was pissed.

"You just can't seem to stay out of trouble, can you?"

Angel panicked and grabbed Alastor's arm.

"It wasn't her fault! She was just trying to help me!" he insisted.

Alastor smacked him away with his microphone and glared at him.

"I'll deal with you in a moment"

He turned his attention back to Jenny. He could see the fear in her eyes and he was glad. Maybe now this would knock some sense into that troublesome skull of hers. But a scary look wasn't enough.

Discipline was needed this time.

"Come on"

He gripped Jenny's wrist hard and dragged her away from the hotel.

"Since you won't listen to my words, it's time you saw what happens to Sinners when they mess with the wrong demon"

Charlie panicked and ran after them. She knew what Alastor was capable of doing but Jenny didn't.

"Alastor, stop!" she ordered.

Alastor stopped walking and looked at the princess over his shoulder. Even Charlie got shivers at the look he was giving her.

"For once, do stay out of this. You've been coddling Jennifer for too long and now she needs to face reality"

He went back to dragging Jenny off to who the Hell knew.

Charlie and Angel panicked. They had never seen Alastor that pissed off before.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, what do we do?!" Charlie said.

"I'll go get my Tommy Gun! See if Snake boy has any weapons we can steal!" Angel Dust said.

"Relax you two, she's fine" Husker said.

He walked up to them with his hands in his pockets. He had his usual, bored, drunk expression on his face so he clearly wasn't worried.

"I've seen Red pissed before and that was not it"

Angel and Charlie looked at him as if he grew a second head.

"How drunk are you right now?! What do you mean he wasn't angry? You saw his face!" Angel said.

"That wasn't anger, asshole" Husker snapped.

"He was scared"

"Let go of me!" Jenny snapped.

She tried pulling her wrist free but Alastor dug his nails into her skin every time she moved.

"You're hurting me"

Alastor whipped his head around and glared at her.

"Good! Maybe now you'll actually listen to me!" he snapped.

"Since you won't listen to words, I'll have to give you a visual warning"

He dragged her around the corner and walked down a street. Sinners who were walking by quickly jumped out of the way when they saw the look on Alastor's face.

Jenny looked around the area they were in. She had never seen this part of the city before and it didn't look nice-which was saying a lot since this was Hell.

"Where are we?"

"Your new home if you keep acting up like you did earlier" Alastor threatened.

They reached a street that was full on adult themed shops. Sex toy shops, strip clubs, brothels, BDSM clubs lined the street.

Alastor gave Jenny a crazy grin and used his microphone to point at the whole street.

"This is part of Valentino's territory, dear Jennifer" he said.

"He is one of the Overlords that rule the entertainment industry and is one of the Triple V's. Seeing as he is Angel's boss I'm sure you can figure out what type of entertainment he specializes in. He's not as annoying at the other V's but he's the most dangerous of the three of them. Whenever someone wants their big break and make it big they usually go to him to become a star. Now I'm sure you're wondering 'who would ever want to become an adult entertainer willingly?'. The answer is simple: they don't! If someone can't pay off their debts to him or if they catch him at the wrong time they end up being his little 'toys'"

He clasped his hands behind his back and slowly circled around her.

"I'm sure you've had toys growing up as a child. They kept you entertained and were fun and enjoyable. But as time went on that toy started to break down and soon it was missing pieces, paint was chipping off, parts were falling off. It was just an ugly, deformed shell of what was once an enjoyable pastime"

He bent down and got close to her face.

"Val has a similar mind set. Those who catch his eye or who he wants to get back at become his new toys. In the beginning he has fun with them. He dresses them up, plays out different scenarios with his movies, why he even makes them dance and perform on a stage. But as time goes on, his toys start to break down from all the 'playing' he likes to do with them. Things start to break, they loose their shine, they simply become empty shells that should go in the trash. Since we're all already dead down here, they just don't die. They continue to 'live' in agony, feeling their bodies break down over and over again with the only hope of it ending is by an Exterminator's spear"

He grabbed her face.

"That is what's going to happen to you if you ever get on Val's wrong side again. That ring of yours got you out of trouble this time but there won't be a next time. Next time you'll become an actress like you wanted but it'll be without clothes. Surely you don't want that"

Jenny willed herself not to show how freaked out she was. Al might have phrased his story as if he was talking about actual toys but she knew what he was really saying. Valentino would turn anyone into one of his little sex slaves and make them do things they didn't want to do. And since she was a female that would be twice if not triple as bad. It was a natural fear for a woman to be harmed that way.

Alastor's ears went back a little. He wanted to teach Jenny a lesson but he didn't enjoy it. He didn't enjoy seeing a women get hurt or liked the thought of them being in a horrible situation like this. He was a gentleman after all.

He sighed and patted her shoulder.

"I think you've learned your lesson. Let's go back so Charlie won't worry"

Jenny numbly followed Alastor out of the adult section of the city. The walk was super quiet. Jenny didn't feel like talking after what she saw. She had seen some pretty messed up stuff since she came to Hell but it seemed this realm always had something new to throw at her.

She went to fiddle with her ring but was quickly reminded that she wasn't wearing it anymore. She didn't regret giving it away to help Angel. If Valentino was as dangerous as Alastor said he was, she didn't want to imagine what the pimp would have done to Angel when he couldn't pay him back.

It was just a ring anyway. When she could finally return home, she could tell David that when she was kidnapped, they stole it. She could always get a new one.

"Why did you help that annoying spider?" Alastor asked.

Jenny was startled when he suddenly spoke. Seemed like he was over being angry.

"Why wouldn't I? You said Val was dangerous. I wasn't going to let him get hurt"

"It's not wise to get involved with other Sinners problems. If they got themselves in a sticky situation then they need to deal with it. Nothing good comes from helping others" Alastor said.

Jenny stopped walking and watched him.

"If you believe that, then why did you help me on Extermination Day?"

Alastor stopped walking when he heard that. He looked at her out of the corner of his eye.

"You could have easily watched them tear me to pieces like everyone else. If you believe nothing good comes out of helping others why did you help me?"

Alastor turned away and looked at the buildings in front of him.

"If I had left you to those annoying pests I wouldn't hear the end of it from Charlie. Not to mention Vaggie would skewer me with that spear of hers" he said.

His ear twitched slightly. Jenny raised an eyebrow when she noticed he wouldn't look at her.

"Yeah, I'm going to call bullshit on that because you clearly don't care what Charlie says and because you've swatted Vaggie away multiple times" she said.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were worried"

When Alastor's ears went flat against his head, she knew she hit the nail on the head.

Jenny smirked a little.

"Well what do you know? The Radio Demon actually does have a heart" she teased.

Alastor whipped his head around and glared at her.

"Quiet, you" he snapped.

Jenny chuckled and tucked her hands in her hoodie.

"So was that little outburst from earlier because you were worried about me?"

"Me? Worried? What utter nonsense" Alastor said.

"Why would I be worried over a troublemaking firecracker such as yourself?"

"Good question, why would you?" Jenny asked.

"Because normally you'd be all in for someone getting torn to pieces. You were going to let Angel suffer at Val's hand but when you heard I was with him, you came rushing out to stop Val"

"We're going home. No more talking about such nonsense" Alastor said.

He walked away, leaving Jenny behind. The human quickly caught up to him. She noticed that he still wouldn't look at her.

"So back when you told me there was an Overlord that you absolutely despised, were you talking about Val?" she asked.

"Oh no. Val is dangerous but he's not the brightest. It's his partner that I cannot stand. That pompous ass thinks he's much better than everyone simply because he controls television and all the electronics that everyone uses" Alastor said.

Jenny noticed how his face became twisted as he thought of Vox.

"Stupid, little punk. Thinking video is better than radio" he muttered.

"Meh, tv is overrated. Way too much phony stuff and people are churning out half assed movies" Jenny said.

Alastor looked at her curiously.

"I thought your dream was to be an actress?" Alastor asked.

"Theater acting" Jenny corrected.

"I'd rather people see me on stage then on the screen. Now a days when a movie comes out, you can watch it from your home and be distracted by other things. It takes away the magic of story telling and kinda shows that you don't care about all the time and effort everyone went in to make said movie. But theater, now that's a whole different story. People pay good money to see actors performing. They want to be entertained and forget all of their everyday problems. They want to see raw talent. That's the kind of life I always wanted growing up. To have people be excited when they see me perform. To show them something you can't see on TV"

Once again Alastor was surprised by this little firecracker. It seemed everyday she was revealing a new side of her. One minute she was brash and tough and then the next she was sweet and kind. She could be modern but at the same time have an old soul. She had talent, but she didn't flaunt it like Angel did. She cared about the wellbeing of the residents of Hell but she could care less about the Overlords and their title.

It had been a long time since he was entertained like this.

"So, have you decided to take my offer with helping you and your audition?" he asked.

"Not really. I figured you'd taken that offer away after your little outburst from earlier" Jenny said.

"With you being angry and all"

"I wasn't angry, I was…concerned" Alastor said.

"I said I'd help you as an apology and I won't take that back over your little stunt. Reckless as it was"

"I was looking out for my friends. If the same situation happened to Charlie, Vaggie or even you, I wouldn't hesitate to jump in and help. You gotta have friends while you're in Hell otherwise you won't last long by yourself. Least that's what Blitz told me" Jenny said.

"That's cute. You think I'd need help" Alastor laughed.

Jenny gave him a sincere look.

"Even the strongest need help every now and then. They may think they can handle everything life throws at them but sometimes they'll need a helping hand…even if they don't want to admit it"

Alastor had somber look on his face. Everyone had always asked him for his help but not once had anyone offered to help him.

Yes, this girl was interesting.

"Don't ever do anything reckless like that again" he warned.

"I won't. But if I need to defend myself I'm not holding back. I'm not going to let these assholes think I'm some damsel in distress. I'm reckless but I'm not stupid" Jenny said.

Alastor sighed and held the bridge of his nose.

"Satan help me" he muttered.

He wouldn't admit to anyone that he would always look out for her.

Two years later at Jenny's party.

"Hey, Jen. We have a problem" Ozzie said.

Jenny stepped away from Alastor to look at the prince of Lust.

"What's up?"

"Sooooo, the dumbass drank too much and is about to cause a scene on stage" Ozzie said.

Jenny raised an eyebrow.

"I just talked with Val. What could he be doing now?"

"Not that one, the fat one" Ozzie clarified.

Jenny held the bridge of her nose and groaned.

"Fucking damnit. Not again"

She hurried over to the stage where she saw Mammon by the piano and was playing some random melody.

Mammon scanned the crowd until he spotted Jenny.

"This song is dedicated to my favorite money maker: Jenny Nightingale" he said.

"Get the fuck off the stage, Mam!" Lucifer barked.

Everyone who was around scowled and had uncomfortable looks on their faces. Jenny glared as she gripped her glass hard.

"Mammon you stupid fat ass" she snapped.

"Don't worry, Jennifer. I have it taken care of" Alastor said as he stood next to her.

He motioned for someone to go on the stage.

Mammon just went back to playing his little song that he came up with.

Jen, you're so cool.

And with my wealth we're gonna rule.

Jen, understand.

I'm gonna love you till the very end.

Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, Jenny

I loooove you!

Blitzo, Luci and Alastor too.

A thousand queavies couldn't keep me from you.

Jennifer

At the end of the line.

I'll make you mine!

Oh!

Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, Jenny

I looove you!

Oh!

Jenny!

Jeeeeen!

Jeeee-

Lue slammed his blade into the piano and sliced it in half. The look on his face was of utter disgust.

"I couldn't stop disco, but I'll be damned if I have to hear any more of this crap"

Mammon flipped Lue off.

"Fuck off you wanker! I was singing!"

Jenny stormed over to the stage.

"For fuck's sake Mammon!" she yelled.

Mammon gave Jenny a drunken smile. Either he was too tipsy to see how pissed she was or he didn't care.

"Jenny! How'd you like my song?"

"That wasn't music! I sing better when I'm in the middle of an orgy!" Angel called out.

Jenny glared at Mammon and held her hand up to show a ring was on her finger.

"I've told you a thousand times I'm married! Why do you keep doing this shit?"

"I'm down for polygamy!" Mammon offered.

Jenny threw the last of her wine in his face.

"I would never have a threesome with an Oogie Boogie knockoff! You may not be loyal to your partners but I'm loyal to my husband"

Mammon had a dirty grin on his face.

"Oh Jen, I just love it when you get angry"

Alastor got in front of Jenny and started reverting to his more demonic look.

"Do you love seeing me get angry?" he asked.

Satan hurried over and dragged Mammon away.

"I'll clean this up. Just enjoy the rest of the party Jen" he said.

Mammon made the 'call me' motion as he was dragged out of the party.

"Who invited him in the first place?" Lucifer said.

"You did, dear" Lilith said flatly.

"Oh"

With Mammon gone, it was awkward for a bit. The prince of Greed soured the mood slightly. Fortunately Beelzebub was there to save the day.

"Hey sweetie! Why don't we perform together and make the atmosphere sweet like honey?" she offered.

Everyone was relieved to hear that.

"Please do. I think my ears were starting to bleed from that song" Fizz said.

Everyone urged Jenny on to perform. Even though this party was to celebrate her greatest achievement, they still wanted to be entertained by their little rose.

Jenny looked at Alastor and shrugged.

"Wanna perform our usual number?"

Alastor had his usual grin on his face.

"I'd thought you'd never ask"

Everyone cheered as they both got up on the stage. Alastor changed their outfits as Lue started playing a jazzy number.

"Alright everyone, who's ready to take a trip down to Chicago?"

Soon both she and Alastor performed their favorite musical number.

Present day

Jenny sighed as she sat in front of her vanity. When she and Alastor got back to the hotel she got an earful from Charlie and Vaggie. Well Charlie was just overjoyed that Alastor didn't do anything to her but Vaggie chewed her out for picking a fight with Valentino.

This wasn't how she expected her night would be but she learned four months ago that she was never going to have a normal day here.

She grabbed her makeup remover and started taking her disguise off. Her stash was getting low again so she needed to run to the store and get more tomorrow. It always felt nice taking this off at the end of the day. It gave her skin a chance to breath.

Her door suddenly opened as Angel stepped inside.

"Toots I wanted to-"

He froze when he saw Jenny. Jenny in turn gasped and dropped her makeup remover. Angel's eyes bugged out when he saw Jenny's very much alive complexion.

"What the fuck?!"

A/N: Shit Angel found out about Jenny! What is he going to do?!

Seemed like Jenny has grown on Alastor if he was worried about her. Looks like the human is worming her way into his heart.

Hope you liked the little future scene. Wonder who Jenny is married to later down the road? And it seems like a couple of the Princes will take a shine to her.

I don't know why but I wanted to do the Peaches song from the Mario Bros movie and I just thought Mammon would be the perfect fit to sing that song.

Please tell me what you thought of this!

Take care!
