Chapter 3: Welcome to the Happy Hotel

A/N: Hi everyone. Sorry it took me so long to update. Had a few things going on in my personal life and I felt I needed to focus on that instead of writing. But I'm starting to get back into the swing of things so I'm back with a new chapter!

Also have you all been enjoying Helluva Boss? These last few episodes have given me a few ideas of how I want the story to go.

Now without further ado, let's continue with the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own Hazbin Hotel or Helluva boss. I just own my oc's

Enjoy!

Jennifer leaned her head against the window as she watched the scenery pass by. Charlie figured she was just trying to calm down after being chased by that boar demon, but she was trying to hide her face. Even though she had her hood up, she didn't want to risk Charlie seeing her face.

As she looked out the window, she desperately tried looking for a sign that said, 'Imp City'. Her little encounter with that Sinner was proof that she shouldn't be down here. Blizto told her how nasty of a place Hell was and she had to agree. She had to find him fast so he could bring her back home.

The limo came to a stop at a tall, abandoned hotel. Jennifer squinted her eyes as she read the sign on top of the building.

"The Happy Hotel?"

Charlie laughed nervously as she got out of the car.

"Yeah, it's part of a project I'm working on"

She quickly went over to Jennifer's side and opened the door for her.

"Let's get you inside and patch that ankle up"

Jennifer tugged her hood further over her face before she hobbled out of the car. Leaning on Charlie, she limped inside the rundown hotel.

"Vaggie, I'm back!" Charlie called out.

A moth demon entered the lobby very shortly. Jennifer noticed she had an eyepatch covering half of her face.

'I wonder if that's how she died?'

"Who's this?" Vaggie asked.

"This is Jennifer. She was being chased by one of the Sinners from the Greed ring and I helped her" Charlie explained.

Jennifer just kept her head low so they wouldn't see her face. Even though Charlie was helping her, she couldn't take any chances. This was Hell after all.

'I probably look sketchy doing this, but I can't risk being exposed'

She stepped away from Charlie and limped towards one of the sofas.

"I don't mean to cause any trouble. I just need to ice up my ankle and then I'll be on my way"

Charlie panicked and hurried over to her.

"Don't push yourself. You slammed onto the ground when you fell. We need to see if you got any other injuries"

Jennifer freaked out. If they tried looking for injuries, they'll see that she wasn't dead.

"N-no, that's not needed! I'm fine, honest! I just need to sit down and – "

She yelped when her ankle caved in and caused her to fall and hit her head on the couch.

Charlie and Vaggie panicked and rushed over to her.

"Are you ok?!" Vaggie asked.

Jennifer groaned as she held the side of her head.

'Great. I've only been in Hell for a few hours and I rotated my ankle and have a huge bump on my head. This day just keeps getting better'

Vaggie grabbed the edge of her hoodie and started to pull it off.

"Let me make sure you didn't hit your eye or anything"

Jennifer freaked out and tried to push Vaggie's hand away.

"No! Don't do th-"

In the commotion, Vaggie was able to get Jennifer's hood down, revealing a very alive human face. Both Sinners gasped in shock. Charlie covered her mouth with her hands while Vaggie swore in Spanish.

Jennifer backed away from them until her back hit the couch.

"D-don't come any closer" she said shakily.

Charlie and Vaggie looked at each other for a moment before they suddenly stood up. Vaggie quickly covered the windows while Charlie locked the front door to make sure no one got in.

Jennifer felt her heart race when she saw they were keeping her trapped.

'Oh god, they're gonna kill me!'

When the girls came back, she started shaking.

"Don't hurt me please! I'm not supposed to be here! Please, I don't wanna die!"

Charlie held up her hands to show she meant no harm.

"Hey, it's ok. You're safe" she said gently.

"We're not gonna kill you. We're trying to help you" Vaggie added.

Charlie carefully knelt next to Jennifer.

"Did any other Sinner see your face?" she asked.

Jennifer quickly shook her head.

"No. I put my hood up when I realized where I was"

Charlie sighed with relief.

"That's good. The less that people know the better"

Vaggie knelt as well and placed a hand on Jennifer's shoulder.

"How did you even get down here?"

Jennifer let out a shaky breath and told them everything that happened. How she was knocked out when she left work, when she woke up in a forest surrounded by a crazy cult, and how they tried to sacrifice her.

"When I woke up, I found myself here. I don't know how I'm still alive though. I know they tried to kill me"

Charlie rubbed her chin as she tried to figure out what happened.

"I didn't think it was possible for the living to wind up in Hell" Vaggie pointed out.

"Technically that's true…. except for one thing" Charlie said.

"What do you mean?"

Charlie looked at Jennifer seriously.

"You said it was October 31st up by you, right?"

Jennifer nodded slowly.

Charlie muttered 'oh boy' under her breath.

"Normally, the barrier that keeps the living world and the dead are always up. You can't enter a realm you're not a part of. But…on Hallows Eve…that barrier tends to weaken. Spirits tend to roam the living world and vice versa"

Jennifer tried to wrap her head over what Charlie just said.

"Wait, are you saying I passed through this barrier because a cult tried to sacrifice me on Halloween?"

"It seems like it. When they did their little ritual, it must have caused the barrier to cave in and allowed you to enter Hell without having to die" Charlie said.

She gave Jennifer a weak smile.

"But look on the bright side! If they had done their little ceremony on any other day, you would have really died"

Jennifer groaned and leaned back into the couch. This was not how she hoped her day would go. She was hoping that she was going to have a nice romantic evening with her fiancée to celebrate their anniversary and then talk about it with Blitzo the next day.

Vaggie gave her shoulder a squeeze as she smiled softly.

"It'll be ok. We'll figure out how to get you home" she said.

Jennifer wanted to say that she already had that part taken care of. One of the perks of being best friends with an Imp from Hell was that they knew how to get back to the living world. She wanted to ask where Imp City was, but she suddenly felt drained from her day and from her injuries.

Charlie seemed to notice that as well.

"We'll figure something out tomorrow. For now, I think it's best to call it a day and get some rest"

Both Sinners helped Jennifer up and lead her to one of the many rooms in the hotel.

"Sorry if the place is looking a little rundown. Vaggie and I are trying to fix it up for our project"

"You mentioned that earlier when we arrived here. What is this project that you keep talking about?" Jennifer asked.

Charlie smiled brightly and was about to explain her plans when Vaggie cut her off.

"We can save that for tomorrow. Knowing you, you'll break out into a singing number as you try to explain what we're doing"

Charlie pouted but didn't argue. Jennifer couldn't help but laugh. Seeing these two interact reminded her of how Moxxie and Millie could be at times.

They arrived at one of the rooms that was mostly furbished and let Jennifer in.

"Hopefully this will do until we figure out how to get you back home" Charlie said.

For the first time since she entered Hell, Jennifer broke into a smile. She always thought that Blitzo was the only decent being that came out of Hell, but she was pleasantly surprised to see other Sinners who were just as kind.

'I guess not everyone who resides in Hell is a monster'

They left her be as she studied her temporary living space. It wasn't the best-looking room, but it was better than nothing.

Limping towards the bed, she plopped down and curled herself into a ball.

"Man, what a day. How am I going to explain this to David when I get back? He'll never believe me. Maybe Blitz will come up with a good alibi"

She curled further into herself. She really hoped that she would find her best friend soon. Despite being a self-centered, arrogant prick, Blitzo was a loyal friend who would have your back when you needed it.

He would get her home the second he would see her.

Feeling her body grow tired, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

She didn't realize that while she wound up in Hell, her friends were about to enter in their own version of Hell.

Living world, Nov 1st.

Stepping through the portal that connected Hell to the living world, the I.M.P gang were all geared up for their current assignment. Blitzo sighed wistfully as he undid the safety on his assault rifle. It was a long night with Stolas, and he needed to blow off some steam. And what better way to do that than to kill someone?

"Alright M&M! Let's get this over with. The sooner we kill our target, the sooner I get to shoot Jenny's fiancé!"

Moxxie made a face at that. He never understood why his boss hated David. He was a decent guy and treated Jennifer right. He should be happy that someone wanted to spend their life with Jennifer.

"Don't you think you're going a little overboard with this, Sir? I'm sure Jenny has told you hundreds of times to stop trying to kill David"

"Oh please. I'm just doing what any good friend would do and keeping an eye out for her" Blitzo said.

"How is killing her fiancé being a good friend?!" Moxxie snapped.

"That dickless wonder obviously has no idea how awesome of a person Jenny is, so I'm trying to fix that"

"I believe he does know, which is why he wants to marry her! Honestly sir!"

"Oh, come on Moxxie. Blitz is just looking out for her like we always do" Millie pointed out.

"Looking out for Jenny and killing people that are close to her are two totally different things!"

Blitzo just rolled his eyes as they walked down the street. Moxxie just didn't get it. There wasn't a guy out there who could give the respect that Jennifer earned. As his best friend it was his job to keep her safe and happy.

"Don't get all bent out of shape because I was given the best friend title and you didn't" he said.

"This isn't about that! This is about you always scaring off or almost killing any guy that tries to get close to Jenny! This is worse than when you stalk Millie and I outside of work, and that's saying something!" Moxxie snapped.

As they passed as television store, Millie noticed that the news was playing. She didn't think much about it until a certain image caught her attention. Stopping in her tracks, she looked at the screen and saw Jennifer's face plastered on the screen. As she read the caption, her eyes grew wide.

"Uh, guys?"

The two imps stopped their bickering when they heard how uneasy Millie sounded.

"You better see this"

Looking at the tv screen they saw what made Millie uneasy. There plastered on all the tv's was Jennifer's face as the news talked about her disappearance.

"Oh, crumbs" Moxxie muttered.

Blitzo's mood did a 180 as he watched the news talk about Jennifer's disappearance. He just saw her yesterday before she went into work. How was this possible?

He felt a panic attack start to bubble up in his chest, but he fought to keep it down. His best friend was missing, and he needed to find out where she went.

Turning serious, he looked at his employees.

"Split up and search every part of the town. We gotta find her" he said seriously.

"Um…what about our client that asked us to kill someone?" Moxxie asked sheepishly.

Blitzo grabbed Moxxie by the front of his jacket and brought him to his face.

"Our best friend is missing, and your main concern is a client?! Fuck the client! Finding Jenny is our assignment now!"

Millie and Moxxie gulped. Blitzo never passed off taking a client and making money.

Blitzo loaded up his gun.

"If you see any shady looking person shoot them. We're not leaving until we searched every part of the town, you got that?"

Millie and Moxxie nodded as they got their guns ready.

"Good, now scatter!"

Three imps spread out and started their search for Jennifer.

As Blitzo ran across the rooftops, he felt his heart racing. Who would want to kidnap Jennifer?

'Whoever they are, I'm going to kill them when I see them. Free of charge!'

First rule about Imps: Never mess with their family or you'll pay the price.

Perhaps it would have been better if that mysterious cult picked a different person to be their sacrifice.

A/N: I didn't enjoy how this ended but I didn't know where to stop it lol.

Uh oh, Blitzo found out Jenny is missing. And you know its serious if he passes off a paying customer in order to find her. Watch out mysterious cult, you got the I.M.P on your asses!

Looks like Jennifer got exposed. It was bound to happen so it's a good thing that it was Charlie and Vaggie that saw. Least they're being kind enough to help her out and hide her.

Please review and tell me what you think!

Take care!
