Chapter 03

Reviews

Umbra Lycan: thanks. I have some ideas on how lucifer and lilith will react. For alastor, most likely not. For husker, probably not. Reason for alastor: he only vaguely recalled something similar. Plus, even though alastor has a bit of other magic, he mainly specializes in voodoo magic. Husker is more of a gambler and con artist. I hope this chapter is up to the standards of the previous chapters.

Gamelover41592: thank you for the compliment

TwinstarDragon: three answers

1) oh, cool. Understandable

2) yep, and i plan on having heaven infuriated with it

3) here's the next chapter

Ghostowen: thank you. Calling alastor and husker 'uncle' is a bit of a stretch. Angel dust is NOT his best friend, and he met baxter earlier. Cherri bomb is a no-go, as his mothers don't want him to copy her tendencies to blow shit up, as well as her mouth. Sir pentious is coming in MUCH later.

Here's the next chapter, except charlie, vaggie and harry are going TO lucifer, not the other way around.

Previously

After her father hung up, charlie was shocked. However, she yawned, again. "I'll figure out what to do after i wake up, she said, before she closed her eyes, and was out like a light.

Now

A few hours later, harry woke up. He yawned a bit, rubbed his eyes, and was actually awake, for the most part. Seeing as his mama was still asleep, he didn't want to wake her. So, harry gently got out of his mother's arms, got off the bed and left the room to explore the hotel.

After exploring for a bit, harry heard a noise coming from outside the hotel. Curious, he went to investigate the noise.

Outside the hotel

Harry had just stepped out of the hotel, when he was picked up by the back of his shirt. "Well, what do we have here, a little brat in that stupid princess's hotel?" a voice asked. Harry timidly looked at the one holding him, and saw that it was a black demon with four arms and a gold tooth. "I don't know who this little brat belongs to, but perhaps, after i give this thing to the boss, the owner of this brat will pay a HEFTY amount of cash, just to get it back," the guy sneered.

Hearing that, harry unconsciously brought out his shadow, who proceeded to rip off the arm that was holding harry. "Punishment time," harry's shadow said, before it proceeded to rip off the demon's other three arms, as well as his legs. After the demon fell to the ground, harry's shadow grabbed the demon by the neck and lifted him into the air. "Go back inside," his shadow said to him.

Harry nodded and went back inside. After setting the demon in a chair, harry's shadow used the demon's own shadow to create something akin to chains, to hold the demon in place. "Why am i in this dump?" the demon demanded to know.

"To face punishment from the mothers of my host," harry's shadow said. "HAH, as if i'd be scared of a couple of worthless whores," the demon sneered. Just then, there was a piercing scream throughout the hotel.

"WHERE'S MY BABY?!" charlie screamed, before the sounds of her tearing through the hotel began. A few minutes later, charlie saw harry in the lobby, sitting in a chair, while facing an unknown demon that was chained to another chair. "My baby!" she cried out as she rushed forward to pick harry up in a hug, tears flowing from her eyes.

All the guests and workers of the hotel came into the lobby, and saw that charlie was crying, while hugging harry. Concerned, vaggie went over to her girlfriend and their son. "Why are you crying, mi amor?" vaggie asked, as she turned charlie's head to face her.

"I woke up from my nap, and saw that harry wasn't there anymore. I panicked," charlie sobbed. Harry looked sad at that. "sorry, mama," harry said softly. This caused the demon to freeze, and sweat a bit in nervousness. "Harry, why did you leave mama?" vaggie asked.

"Mama was still asleep, mommy, and i didn't want to wake her. I left to explore this place," harry tried to explain. "What happened after that?" vaggie asked. Harry pointed at the chained up demon, as he answered. "Bad demon made a noise. I went to look for the noise. Bad demon picked me up and said he was gonna give me to someone," harry tried to explain.

Naturally, his mothers weren't able to understand most of what their son was trying to say. However, what they DID understand made their blood boil. Charlie partially transformed into her true demon form. Charlie grew red horns from her forehead, while the color of her sclera turned red and her iris turned white and her teeth got sharper. Vaggie, on the other hand, pulled out her spear from who-knows-where, while her hair and bow started to flare out in response to her rage.

"If i may," alastor began, getting the attention of all the ones in the lobby. "Before charlie and vagatha start tearing into this demon, literally, how about i show what really happened?" alastor proposed. That surprised them all. "You can do that?" vaggie asked. "Yes, i can. While i specialize in voodoo, i DO have some bits of other magic, and one of those bits is memory magic. After finding the memory in question, it's actually VERY simple to project the memory, for us all to see," alastor explained.

"Do it, alastor," charlie said. Alastor nodded, placed a hand on the forehead of the bound demon and searched for the memory in question. "Ah, there's the little bastard," alastor said, before he began to project the memory.

"In order to avoid confusion, i also found a memory that had a direct influence on the memory we want to see. I will show that memory after this one," alastor said. "Fine, just show us those memories, alastor," charlie ordered. Alastor nodded, and started to play the two memories.

First memory

It looked like the setting for the memory was the inside of a club's office. The demon was facing what looked like a LARGE male blue-skinned moth. This moth was wearing a red overcoat that had fur around his neck and wrists. There were little hearts on the fur of the collar of his greatcoat.

"Valentino. What does that blasted overlord want?" charlie asked, as she held her son. "We're about to find out, mi amor," vaggie said.

"Listen to me, and listen well," valentino began. "I want you to find out what the hell is going on inside that hotel that the princess tried to advertise a little while back, on the news," valentino said. "Sure thing, boss. "What about bringing you a person that the princess is close to?" the demon proposed.

Valentino gained an evil smirk. "Then you bring that person to me, so i can force the person into giving me their soul, to add to my collection of workers. I've heard through the grapevine that the princess is taking care of a child. Bring that child to me, and you will be WELL rewarded," valentino said.

"You got it, boss," i said eagerly.

End of first memory

"I don't care if that pimp IS a damn overlord. He could be ADAM, and i would NOT think twice about hurting him!" charlie snarled, as she held harry close.

Start of second memory

A little brat had just stepped out of the hotel, when i picked up by the back of his shirt. "Well, what do we have here, a little brat in that stupid princess's hotel?" i asked, before the brat timidly looked at me. "I don't know who this little brat belongs to, but perhaps, after i give this thing to the boss, the owner of this brat will pay a HEFTY amount of cash, just to get it back," the i sneered.

Hearing that, the brat unconsciously brought something out his shadow, who proceeded to rip off my arm that was holding the brat. "Punishment time," the brat's shadow said, before it proceeded to rip off my other three arms, as well as my legs. After the i fell to the ground, the brat's shadow grabbed me by the neck and lifted me into the air. "Go back inside," the brat's shadow said to him.

The brat nodded and went back inside. After setting me on a chair, the brat's shadow used the my own shadow to create something akin to chains, to hold me in place. "Why am i in this dump?" i demanded to know.

"To face punishment from the mothers of my host," the brat's shadow said. "HAH, as if i'd be scared of a couple of worthless whores," i sneered. Just then, there was a piercing scream throughout the hotel.

"WHERE'S MY BABY?!" a voice screamed, before the sounds of something tearing through the hotel began.

End of second memory

Upon seeing the second memory, charlie was in her full true demon form. In addition to her growing her horns, her eyes changing colors earlier and her teeth, earlier, she grew a black prehensile tail. Her tail had a spade at the end that had a bit of red in the middle and three really thin and small spikes near the middle of her tail.

"My love, we are going to pay valentino a little visit," charlie declared, as calmly as she could. Vaggie smirked, before she said "Voy a arrastrar su cuerpo ensangrentado y aún respirante a través de un campo de sal triturada" rather viciously.(1)

"My love, are you TRYING to get me hot under the collar?" charlie purred at her girlfriend. "Work now, playtime later," vaggie said, as she still smirked. "Right. Work," charlie said. She gently sat harry on a chair and kissed his forehead, before she spoke to him gently. "Harry, mommy and i need to speak to someone in a very painful way. We will be back as soon as we can, ok?" charlie said. "Ok, mama," harry said sadly.

V tower

Once the limo was at the tower of the V's, a tower that three of the overlords of hell (whose names all start with 'V', oddly enough) resided. On the way to the tower, vaggie and charlie had managed to calm down and contain their rage. Charlie and vaggie stepped out of the limo, and made their way to the front door of the tower.

"Mi amor, let us give that pansexual freak of a moth sinner a visit that he will NEVER forget," vaggie said, a vicious smirk on her face. "Oh~, i PLAN to," charlie agreed. With that, charlie knocked on the front door. A random demon opened the door. "Can i help you?" she asked. "Yes, the two of us are here to see valentino," charlie said. "Come on in," the demon said, as she stepped aside and opened the door further, allowing the princess and her consort inside.

The demon led the to an office that had a 'valentino's office' nameplate on the door. The demon knocked on the door, to which her boss said 'enter' through the door. The demon opened the door, and spoke to her boss. "Um, boss, sorry to interrupt you, but you have visitors," she said. "Who is it?" valentino asked snidely. "The princess, and her consort," his underling said.

What the demon said caused valentino to lose the smirk/smile he had on his face. "Well, what are you waiting for, a party invite? Send them in," valentino snapped. The demon underling opened the door further, allowing charlie and vaggie to enter the room, before she shut the door.

"How may i help you, princess?" valentino said, pretending to be polite. "Shut up, sinner," charlie snapped at him, causing him to close his mouth and his eyes widened in shock. "We know what you were just trying to do with the hotel, along with a certain little boy in the hotel," charlie said.

Valentino started to get a bit nervous, when she said that. "That little boy, that you are so interested in, is our son," vaggie said, as she drew her spear. Valentino started to get a bad feeling in his stomach.

Charlie turns full demon, and walks up to valentino. "Now, for attempting to abduct our son to not only force him to work for you, but to also trick him into giving you his soul and holding him for ransom," charlie began. Vaggie smirked, as she finished what her girlfriend was trying to say. "You will be given a VERY painful lesson about going after royalty. If you happen to die because of it, oh well," vaggie purred the second sentence.

Valentino attempted to flee by unfurling his wings, but vaggie threw four throwing knives, pinning him to the wall. Charlie summoned a trident, which she pointed at him. "Hmm, nope. Too large," charlie said, before she un-summoned her trident, before she summoned a large trench knife. "Perfect," charlie purred.

Charlie walked up to valentino, and stabbed him in the chest.

WARNING: TORTURE SCENE AHEAD. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

After charlie stabbed valentino, she slowly dragged the knife down his body, creating a rather large wound that started to bleed profusely. "Oh, no, we cannot have you passing out from blood loss or, heaven forbid, actually dying, before you receive your full punishment at our hands, for attempting to abduct our son," charlie said, before she summoned some fire, and pressed the fire against the injury, cauterizing it, so valentino doesn't bleed out, even when Valentino screamed in pain as a result of the cauterizing.

With every new large slice charlie literally carved in valentino's flesh, she would cauterize it. Soon enough, his entire front was now covered in cauterized injuries. Not even his face was spared.

Breathing a sigh of relief, she backed away. She looked at her girlfriend, and smiled. "My love, it's your turn. Just let me get him ready for you," charlie said. Charlie the went up to valentino and ripped the knived out of his wings.

Once valentino landed painfully on the floor, charlie pinned him to the floor by jamming the knives back into his wings and into the floor. After she finished, she went into valentino's kitchen, and found some salt. Smiling gleefully, charlie skipped back to her girlfriend, and gave her the salt. "He's ready for you, my love," charlie said, before she gave a VERY passionate kiss to her girlfriend, which lasted about 10 seconds.

Once the kiss ended, and vaggie returned to her senses, vaggie stalked towards valentino, drew one of her throwing knives, and began carving into his back, and peeling the skin off his back. "Now, val," vaggie began, getting valentino's attention through the pain he was feeling. "I promised myself that i would do something similar to what i am about to do. However, there's no salt field, so this will have to make do. But, it'll be just as satisfying," vaggie declared darkly.

After she said that, she poured the salt over his bloody back, causing his to scream in pain, before vaggie began to actually force the salt deeper into the injuries, causing valentino to scream in pain even more. Once the salt was in his body, vaggie looked at the container of salt next to her, and got a truly VICIOUS smirk.

So, with valentino openly sobbing in pain, vaggie poured the entire container of salt on the already salt-aggravated injuries. At this point, i'm surprised that his lungs and vocal cords did not give out. Once she was finished, vaggie stood up, and went over to her girlfriend, wrapped her in a hug and kissed her.

Once the kiss broke, charlie knelt next to valentino. "Once you are able to move, or if someone finds you, you will be honest, and admit that you were actively trying to abduct royalty. Understood?" charlie snarled. "Yes, ma'am," valentino whimpered. "Good," charlie said, before she gave him a final kick, before she started skipping away.

IT'S SAFE, NOW

Once charlie and vaggie were on their way to the hotel, charlie had a thought. "My love," she began. Vaggie looked at her, and said, "yes?" "our baby needs to know how to defend himself, just in case we are not there. I know he has his shadow, but what if his assailants are actually STRONGER than his shadow?" charlie said worriedly.

Vaggie quickly wrapped her in a hug, slowly calming her down. "I think it's a good idea, mi amor," vaggie said. "However, we should go easy on him, at first," vaggie amended. "Of course. I don't want to seriously hurt my baby," charlie said. And so, the two lovers stayed like that for a while. "Mi amor," vaggie said. "Yes?" charlie asked, as she turned to face vaggie. "There's something that i have to tell you, but i was scared to tell you, because i feared that you would reject me," vaggie admitted. "What is it?" charlie asked, as she fully faced her girlfriend.

Vaggie took a calming deep breath, before she spoke, again. "I'm a former angel," vaggie said, albeit in a bit of a timid manner. Charlie was shocked. "Remember when you found me, lying against that dumpster and my eye missing?" vaggie asked. Charlie nodded, speechless, before vaggie continued. "Before then, i was one of heaven's top exorcists. However, i refused to kill an actual child and their family, despite adam ordering me to do so."

Vaggie was beginning to cry, now. "After i refused the order, adam killed them, anyway. After the exorcists returned to heaven, adam ripped out my wings himself, while lute removed my eye. As i laid there in heaven, bleeding out, adam cast me out of heaven," vaggie finished, even as tears fell from her remaining eye.

(1) I'm going to drag his bloody and still-breathing body through a field of crushed salt.
