Chapter 4: Time to form a plan

A/N: Hey everyone! Thanks so much for the reviews and the favs! It made me really happy seeing that so many of you are enjoying this story so far! Hopefully as the story continues it'll be to your guys liking lol.

I also wanted to mention one of you readers pointed out I made an error about how Hell functions in the Hazbin Universe and in general. I'm still new to the lore of Hell and how its portrayed in Hazbin so if I make any more mistakes please let me know. The more I know, the more accurate the story will be to the show lol. Thanks again for pointing that out!

So, without further ado, let's get on with the story!

Now that Charlie and Vaggie know Jennifer is a living human, how are they going to help her out?

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

Enjoy!

It was close to midnight when Blitzo caught up with Millie and Moxxie. The poor Imp looked tired and dirty from his search. Clutched tightly within his claws was Jennifer's cellphone. When he searched the school she worked at, he found her phone laying outside her classroom. It was the only trace he had of her. No matter where he looked, he couldn't find his best friend.

When he saw the tired and miserable looks on Millie and Moxxie's faces, he knew they didn't find anything either.

"You find any clues?"

The two Imps shook their heads.

"I searched her house but didn't find anything out of the ordinary" Millie said.

"I checked David's work and he was still working when Jenny vanished from what I heard, so that rule him out of being involved with this" Moxxie added.

"You think it could have been one of the teachers that Jenny works with?"

Blitzo shook his head.

"Nah, she didn't like being around her coworkers. She said they complained a lot about their students and had no lives"

The three Imps sighed in defeat. They were really scared and worried about Jennifer. They searched every part of the town and couldn't find her. If she wasn't here, then she was long gone.

Moxxie looked at his boss sheepishly.

"We're not going to find any more clues here, Sir. I think it's best that we go back for the time being"

Blitzo's face twisted into a scowl. Jennifer was missing and all Moxxie cared about was going home?! He was about to yell at him, but Millie put a hand on his arm.

"He's right, B. We looked everywhere and couldn't find her. And we stayed topside far longer than we're supposed to. If we don't head back now, we'll get into some serious trouble"

Blitzo was about to protest but the look on Millie's face shut him up.

"We'll find her, Sir" Moxxie promised.

Blitzo didn't say anything. He was too numb to fight with Moxxie. Calling Loona, he told her to open the portal that would take them home.

Millie and Moxxie jumped in first, leaving Blitzo alone. Looking at the phone that was still in his claws, he turned it on. The screensaver popped up, showing a picture of Jennifer and himself smiling at the camera.

Blitzo closed his eyes tightly as he held the phone close.

'Please be safe, Jenny' he silently prayed.

Lucky for him, his prayers were already answered.

Jennifer groaned as she slowly woke up.

"Ugh, David. You won't believe the dream I had" she yawned.

"I ended up in Hell and these two sinners brought me to some hot- "

She stopped herself when she opened her eyes and noticed she wasn't in her room. Shooting up in a sitting position, she recalled yesterday's events.

Getting out of bed, she went over to the window and pulled back the curtains. What greeted her was a dark, gloomy landscape with equally dark, gloomy individuals.

She was in Hell and if she didn't find a way back home, this would become her new permanent one. Pressing her head against the glass, she sighed.

'It's ok, Jenny. You'll be home before you know it. You just gotta ask Charlie where Imp City is and then Blitz will take you home'

She left her room and went to find her mysterious savior. As she walked through the hotel's many hallways, she noticed the building's décor. Everything was apple theme from the wallpaper to the carpets. For a hotel that resided in Hell, it carried an innocent feel to it.

Reaching the lobby, she found Charlie cleaning it up. The pale girl smiled when she saw Jennifer.

"Morning! I hope you slept well last night!"

Jennifer smiled weakly in return. She wondered how a bubbly person such as her wound up in Hell.

"I did, but I'm still a little thrown off over everything that's happened" she admitted.

Charlie nodded in understanding.

"We'll figure something out during breakfast"

She led her into the kitchen where Vaggie was making coffee. The moth demoness gave Jennifer a small smile as she offered up a cup of coffee.

The three women sat at the kitchen table in silence for a few seconds. The previous day's events fresh on their minds. Charlie looked up at Jennifer and gave her a hopeful smile.

"So, I might know a way of how to get you home. You obviously can't go back the way you came since the barrier that keeps the dead and the living separated is back, but I think I know someone who can- "

"Actually, I know someone who can do that" Jennifer said bluntly.

Both sinners looked shocked.

"Y-you do?" Vaggie asked.

Jennifer nodded.

"Yep. Can you tell me where Imp City is? I was trying to find it yesterday but this whole place is a maze"

That threw Charlie and Vaggie off. How did a human know about Imp City?

"Why would you want to go to Imp City? How do you even know about it?" Charlie asked.

Jennifer decided to be blunt with them. She wasn't going to get anywhere if she hid the fact that she was best friends with an Imp.

"My best friend, Blitzo lives there. He's an Imp and he runs a business that deals with the living world"

She probably should have brought this up yesterday but too many things had happened at once. Now that they knew, she could get home faster.

Vaggie slowly lowered her cup on the table.

"You're best friends with an Imp?!"

Jennifer shrugged like it was no big deal.

"I mean, yeah. It's not that big of a deal. You always hear stories about humans summoning demons to the living world to carry out deeds for them. It's no different with Imps. Blitzo always comes top side for his work so I see him all the time"

Charlie and Vaggie were not expecting this. First a living human was able to enter Hell and now they find out she's friends with Imps?! Sure, it was helpful information, but it was still shocking.

Charlie got over her shock and tried to figure out how this would work.

"That is pretty helpful, but that's also a problem" she said.

"There's more than one Imp City here. Each ring of Hell has their own Imp City to accommodate the Imps that were born there. We're currently in the Pride ring so do you know if this Blitzo said he was in the Pride Imp City?"

Now that Charlie mentioned it, Blitzo never told her that. He always told her he lived in Imp City, but he must have forgotten which city that was.

'Damnit, Blitz! That was a very vital piece of information to forget!'

Charlie sensed her uneasiness and tried to smile to make her feel better.

"Hey! Don't worry! At least we have a lead. We'll try our Imp City first and hope your friend is on this one"

"But what if he isn't Charlie? If he's on one of the other rings Imp City that's going to be trickier" Vaggie pointed out.

That caught Jennifer's attention.

"What do you mean? Can't we just go to one of the other rings then if that was the case?"

The moth demoness shook her head.

"Much like the barrier that keeps the living world and the dead separated, the same goes for each of the rings of Hell. If you end up in the Lust ring, you stay there. You must go to the ring that matches the sin you committed when you were alive. If you were to travel to any of the other rings, it would be a big mess"

"But what about that boar demon that chased me yesterday? Charlie said he was from the Greed ring, but he was here on the Pride ring" Jennifer pointed out.

"He was able to get through cause the barrier that keeps the rings separated was thin. Kinda like how you were able to get down here" Charlie explained.

"Sinners can't travel between rings. Its one of the laws of Hell"

Jennifer slumped in her seat. Here she thought she had good news only to be given bad news instead.

"So, what happens if my friend isn't on this ring's Imp City? Does that mean I'm stuck?"

Charlie gave her a hopeful smile.

"Not quite" she said.

"I said Sinners can't travel between the rings of Hell…but Hell born individuals can. Anyone who was born in Hell can travel the rings because they didn't commit a certain sin"

And just like that the bad news turned into good news. Maybe Jennifer had a chance to go home after all.

"So, all I have to do is find a Hell born individual and they can take me to one of the rings Imp City?"

"Nope! Cause you're talking to one right now!" Charlie cheered.

Jennifer raised an eyebrow. What was she talking about? She didn't see anyone else besides Charlie and Vaggie.

"What are you talking about?"

Charlie giggled and pointed towards herself.

"You're talking to Lucifer's daughter, also known as the princess of Hell"

You could hear a needle drop it was so quiet. Next thing anyone knew, Jennifer jumped from her seat in shock.

"You're from here?! But how?! You're so sweet and kind!"

Charlie laughed as she rubbed the back of her head.

"Yeah, I get that a lot. Whenever they think of my dad, they expect his children to be the same as him"

Jennifer bit her lip. She did not expect the princess of Hell to save her, let alone help her get home. It was so bizarre. Then again, she was best friends with Blitzo so it shouldn't be that shocking.

"Not to sound rude, but…if you're the princess of Hell, why are you helping me get back home? I thought beings of Hell try to lure people down here?"

Charlie gave Jennifer a sad smile. It seemed she was used to this kind of reaction.

"Much like with everything else in life, not everyone is bad and not everyone is good. You have Angels who are cruel, and you have demons who can be kind. Not everything is black and white"

Now Jennifer felt bad. She knew it wasn't right to judge someone based on their looks or where they came from. Her friendship with Blitzo and the others was proof of that. They may have come from the worst place on Earth, but they were the most loving and kindest individuals she ever met.

Charlie was the same. She was born in Hell, but she went out of her way to help a human and was trying to figure out a way to get her home.

She gave the princess a genuine smile.

"Thank you for helping me out. It does mean a lot to me. I'm sorry for my outburst, it was just shocking to me"

She sat back down. Now that all this new information was out of the way, the next thing to do was come up with a plan.

"So, until I'm able to find the right Imp City, what happens now?" she asked.

Charlie hummed in thought.

"Well, you can stay here until we find your friend. Its dangerous out there and we can't let anyone know that a human is down here"

Her eyes sparkled when she suddenly came up with an idea.

"I know! Since I'm helping you trying to get home, maybe you can help me with this project I'm working on!"

Vaggie groaned as she pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Not now, Charlie"

Jennifer looked between the two girls in confusion.

"Project? What project?"

Charlie smiled brightly as she gestured towards the hotel.

"This!" she cried.

"Remember when I said this place was part of a project I'm working on? Well I'm turning this into a hotel that rehabilitates Sinners!"

Jennifer blinked at that. What?

"A rehab for Sinners?"

"That's right! Every year more and more Sinners end up down here to the point where some parts of town get overpopulated. It gets to the point where some start turf wars, or they get wiped out during the cleanse"

"What cleanse?" Jennifer asked.

Vaggie shook her head quickly.

"Don't worry about that. It's nothing you need to worry about"

She didn't want to freak Jennifer out over Heaven and Hell's little yearly ritual where Angels would come down and kill any Sinner they saw.

Charlie was too caught up in her little speech that she didn't hear any of that.

"It breaks my heart seeing so many people get hurt and killed by these events. So, I came up with this hotel. If we redeem them, they can go to heaven which means no more killing! It gives them the chance to get away from everything here and gives them a second chance!"

Jennifer was stunned at that. She thought it was kinda surreal that Blitzo's job was to kill people in the living world while Charlie was trying to get the dammed up into Heaven. It was odd, but at the same time amazing.

"That's…pretty epic of you to come up with this" she said.

"But how can I help? I'm not a Sinner so I don't know if I'm the right person for this"

"But that's the thing, you are! You could show Sinner's what they're missing out if they still stay here. You can remind them what it was like when they were alive and give them the chance to better themselves!"

When Jennifer didn't say anything, she thought she didn't explain herself right.

"You probably didn't get what I meant. Don't worry, I created a song to help! I have a dream! I'm here to- "

"No! No singing needed, I got ya!" Jennifer quickly said.

"So, what you're basically telling me is that you want me to be a mentor to whoever comes here? To show them how to change?"

"That's right!" Charlie cheered.

Jennifer looked at the table for a moment. Should she really do this? She needed to get home before David became even more worried. If she played teacher to a bunch of Sinner, it would take up her time getting home. Then again, Charlie was the only one who could get her home so if she wanted her help, she had to go along with it.

'Besides, it's not like I can do anything else. Might as well pitch in so I won't be bored'

She looked up at Charlie and offered her hand.

"Alright, you got yourself a mentor. It just so happens that I'm a schoolteacher so teaching these lost souls should be easy"

Charlie cheered and pulled Jenny into a bone crushing hug.

"Thank you! You won't regret this, I promise!"

Vaggie smiled a little. She was glad that someone agreed to their idea to help Sinners, but there was one problem.

"Now that that's out of the way, we gotta do something about your look. We can't let anyone know a human is down here in Hell"

She had a point. Jennifer couldn't keep wearing a hoodie over her face. Others would start to get suspicious.

"What should I do? These are the only clothes I have"

Charlie and Vaggie looked at each other and said the same thing at once.

"Makeover!"

A/N: Oh boy, looks like Jennifer is going to get a new look. Wonder what her disguise will be in the end.

And it looks like she's formed a plan to get back home. Hopefully Blitzo is in the Pride ring's Imp City. But until she's reunited with her best friend, least she has a job to keep her busy.

Poor Blitzo, he's really freaking out over Jennifer. Someone's a dead man when he finds out who did this.

As always please review and tell me what you think!

Take care!
