Meet the Father
Picking up after Last Chapter
My/Pov
Important notes at the bottom.
"Well, if was not dead before. I sure will be now." I said casually. Leaning back against the couch.
"Don't be like that" Charlie reassured me. "Maybe my father can fix this whole situation with a snap of his fingers. If there is anyone powerful enough to get you back home. It's my dad. He's not ruler of Hell for nothing." She smiled.
I then thought of something Charlie said earlier.
"Wait…what do you mean by 'my mistake'" I asked.
My words must have jogged her memory. She turned away from me with a sad expression. And then looked back at me.
.
"Well…here in Hell, Every New Years. Angels are sent down from heaven to Hell keep the population, from overflowing.
For years I have watched as my people were slaughtered. Not even given a chance to change themselves for the better.
So…
A few months ago. I got this hotel, and plan to rehabilitate sinners and demons for their sins, and hopefully. Send their souls to Heaven.
I tried so hard just to save a few people before the Cleanse. But in the end, I could not save one.
And 3 days before the Cleanse. I knew nothing I could do would save anyone.
And I just got so frustrated and mad. The mockery and laughter, my dad's disappointment… all hit me at once. I started speaking a different language. My magic began to build up and became so powerful that, by the time I was done venting my frustrations out.
I somehow cast a summing spell.
That's when you were accidently summoned here…by me."
…
"…Wow… and did you know it was going to summon me here? Or even a human for that matter?" I asked
Charlie slowly shook her head. "…No, I didn't even know I was capable of doing something like that. Let alone a human.
.
"So, I was literally a 1 in a billion chance."
"Pretty much, your guess is as good as mine." She replied.
"Well, hopefully this can all be over soon. As much I enjoy your company. I know I still have the rest of my life to live. So Im hoping your dad can clear this up.
Not trying to be rude or anything, But I just don't belong here. No offense Princess. I said.
"None taken. And please, call me Charlie. I really don't like using my title."
…
It was then I became to remember something. I woke up in the guest room. But before that I was still… in… my…
"MY ROOM" I quickly said. And startled Charlie and Vaggie.
"I was in my room before I woke up today. What happen when I came here?"
"Your room came with you as well." Vaggie answered.
I became really scared. A dreadful though ran across my mind. Did I just land somewhere in the city?
And If they took me here…but they left my room out in public…OH GOD!
The thought of anyone robbing was a scary though all on, but demons and sinners stealing my shit in this huge place know as HELL! AND DOING GOD KNOWS WHAT.
I stood up shaking. And turned to Charlie
Please tell me…my room is not out in the middle of a street somewhere, with the door wide open.
"Uh, no, it's on the roof, but why- "
.
I sprinted around Charlie as I heard her call out to me. Once I reached the door, I burst out, and looked for the Roof access staircase.
Once I found it, I ran as fast as I can up the stairs. I could hear Charlie and Vaggie calling out to me to slow down. But I had to make sure.
I basically shoulder charged the door open as I began to scan the rooftop, I quickly found my room, dead center on the roof behind the sign of the hotel. The door slightly left open.
I ran full speed.
OH GOD, PLEASE NO, PLEASE NO, PLEASE NO, PLEASE NO, PLEASE!
I burst in the door. Immediately going for the light switch.

"Oh yeah…no power.
I pulled put my phone and used the flashlight and aimed it at the floor and quick saw my heavy bed cover under my desk.
Without hesitation. I unfolded it and saw my stuff was safe. My PS2, PS3, PS4, and my laptop were all safe.
"Oh, thank god" I breathed out. Happily, that it was all safe. "Ha...Ha…ha" catching my breath as I looked above, on my desk to see if my TV was ok
… "Oh…Fuck" I said in disappointment.
My 30' TV was lying face down in the middle of the desk. And once I lifted up. Pieces of glass fell from the screen as big fucking crack completely cover the screen.
"HOW THE FUCK DID THAT HAPPEN" I shouted. Only to realized. "Oh yeah…Teleported to hell…Fuck."
"It was then I heard footstep behind me as a saw Vaggie and Charlie standing in the doorway.
Charlie out of breath, and Vaggie looking a little pissed.
"Could you not do that shit ever again." She narrowed her eyes.
"Sorry, I just had to make sure my shit was okay. Speaking of…
I walked over to where the nightstand was that I banged my head on, and opened.
Charlie and Vaggie watched as the draw pulled out to reveal. All the games I owned. I cracked few open to make sure none of them broken in the landing. Thankfully all were still in perfect condition.
"That's what you were worried about? Your Games?!" Vaggie said, still a little pissed.
"Listen, half of these games are my childhood, and half is what my hard-earned money payed for. Im not about to lose all that in a day."
I checked the bottom draw to see all my equipment was still okay, and a few more games that could not fit on the top.
"But I do apologize for running out like that…Sorry" I replied sincerely.
Charlie and Vaggie gave a quick glanced to each other.
"Don't worry, we forgive you" Charlie said. "But next time, tell us."
"Yeah, what if someone were to spot you on the roof. Someone flying around could have
Spotted you and report it. OR worse… kill you, if they wanted to." Vaggie added.
"Again…I said im sorry, won't happen again."
…
Then another thought ran across mind. "Wait…how long was I out for again?" I asked.
"A few days, why?" Charlie responded.
"Few days…so that means…"
I grabbed the collar of my hoddie and stuck my nose in a gave a sniff.
In a half a second, I recoiled in disgust and gave a quick cough.
"Holy shit! *COUGH*"
'Can't believe I just did that'
Now embarrassed. I looked back at the girls, "Um…sorry about that, and also…If it's no trouble with you…may I take a shower somewhere in this hotel. I rubbed the side of my arm in complete shyness.
Charlie happily smiled. "Of course, you can use ours."
'Such generosity to someone you met only 30 minutes ago.'
"Really?" I was surprised. "I don't wanna be a bother to you."
Charlie waved it off. "No no, it's fine, I insist. Just grab whatever cloths you need and we will walk back down with you." She smiled.
"…Thank you" I gently responded.
…
Once I grabbed some of my cloths and my tooth brush, I walked inside with the girls back to their home. Charlie showed me the bathroom and all the soaps. I could use.
The bathroom was really nice. All White tiles, a shower, and tub that acted like a small jacuzzi. And a big sink and large mirror.
.
Vaggie told me not to take too long, cause at 1:00 we had to leave. It was 12:30, and it was best not to keep her father waiting.
Once I got in, I quickly scrubbed myself all around and shampooed my hair.
'Im surprised they have hot and cold running water down here."
When I finished, I quickly brushed my teeth, cleaned out my mouth with water, and used a combo to fix my hair, combing from front to back.
By the time I was done. 20 minutes had gone by, and there I stood in my new set of cloths.
My New York Yankees Hoodie and Sweatpants that matched the colors. Dark Blue with a grey stripe, outlined by 2 white ones. And I also threw back on my black sneakers since they were still clean.
With my dirty cloths, Charlie guided me to the wash room, and I threw them into the machine to clean them
After throwing in the soap, Charlie told me that my dirty cloths would be clean by the time we would get back.
I thanked her for everything.
.
We then took the elevator down to the main floor where a limo was waiting for us outside.
Vaggie told me to put my hood up over my head, to make sure no one saw my face.
Once outside I was greeted with the most ridiculous looking white limo I had ever seen. I was also greeted by the sounds of a goat.
I looked down and saw two almost identical looking goat demons in suits eating doughnuts.
They appeared to be 3 feet tall and looked at me curiously, even one of them tilled their head
"Um…Charlie" I pointed at them in discomfort. First time seeing anything not human like.
Charlie's face lit up with a smile and giggle as she got down on her knees and hugs the goat demons.
"Justin, this is Razzle and Dazzle, my cute little helpers." She gave each of them a quick kiss on the head, and hugged them a little bit tighter. "Don't be scared, say hi" she gestured me to come over as she stood back up. Razzle and Dazzle both held out their hand. I gently shook each of their hand "Hey, how you doing?" I asked. They both responded with a nod and a cute 'Baaa'
They then walked over to the back door of the limo, allowing Charlie, Vaggie and finally Me to enter the limo. After that the limo started up and off into the city we went.
'I sure hope this car ride is not my last'
Limo Ride to the City
Seeing the goat boys earlier made me think that was the only weird thing I would witness down here as being not human like, I assume from the looks of Vaggie and Charlie that everyone would look human too.
But…My god…
how… wrong… I… was…
Riding through the city I witness the denizens of hell, first hand. There were imps, hellhounds, cyclops, reptiles, mammals, shadow demons, elementals beings, and bugs. But a few very human like demons/sinners down here.
Some fairly new, and some scattered across different time periods, throughout history. All by how they dressed.
I can hear the stereotypical death metal music in the back of my head. Youtube search MK Armaggedon Hell Theme
Aside from that, advertising was all over the place, Gun shops, porn stores, casinos, prostitution… people getting shot, robbed, stabbed, and fucked. If not separate or all at the same time…
I hope these windows are bulletproof and also tinted.
Like…Dude…What the fuck…How does someone like Charlie, come from this, and be as happy and cheerful as her?
Unless she was sheltered for most of her life, then that would explain it. The Princess life I suppose.
"This was seriously not what I was expecting" I said outload.
"Im pretty sure everyone thought the same thing too" Vaggie replied next to me. I then felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see Charlie looking at me with a worried smile.
"How are you feeling Justin?" She asked.
"Good…though, I hope that this can all be over with soon. As much as I enjoy, your company, I don't belong down here."
"Don't worry, like I said before… if there is one person who can fix this, it will be my father."
"How will we know if he does not try to screw with me, no offense Charlie, but your Father sounds…untrustworthy…I mean, heIS… Lord of Hell." I worried.
Charlie nodded. "I understand, if he tries anything, I know how to stop him, but trusts me when I say that…having a human down here can cause problems… I don't know how but… let's hope this gets solved quickly."
Yeah, sending me and my room back with all my stuff, All in one piece, that's what im worried about.
Lucifer's Tower
In the Center of the city lies the tallest building. Home to Charlie's Parents.
This Building had to be taller than the Freedom tower in New York.
The limo did not stop at the front entrance of the tower, rather… we headed into a private underground parking lot, reserved for Lucifer himself. It was gated as so no one can sneak in.
Once we came to a complete stop Charlie called her father on speaker phone.
After a few rings…
"Yes Charlie~" he answered.
"Dad, we're here. We are ready to come up"
"Good, but…can you give me a minute, I'm in the middle of a conversation, with one of the Overlords. I will text you when im done."
BEEP
"Great…" Vaggie was annoyed. "More waiting"
Razzle and Dazzle opened the back door for all of us.
Once we were out. The limo door closed.
I noticed right away. The floor was not made of concrete. But rather resemble that of a showroom floor. White tiles and red walls. A well lite, Private garage.
But what really caught my attention.
Was the Beautiful, stunning Cars that were all lined up perfectly. Enough space for a walk around.
"Holy…Fuck" I said in an amazement.
I was fanboying so hard right now, As I excused myself for a quick look around. And when I said excused myself. I meant… jogged… to the amazing display of vehicles.
Charlie and Vaggie caught up to me.
Vaggie annoyed. "what did we just say about running off?"
"I know…BUT WHO CAN RESIST THESE BABIES." I fanboyed. Charlie looked confused and Vaggie looked even more annoyed.
…
"I'm a car person…you would not understand."
Now…most people in life, see cars…especially expensive one's…as a waste of money. Or…see them as just 4 wheels and an engine.
And… to those people…I say… Screw them
Ok… maybe that's a bit too strong of a word… how about
…Just don't understand us...
But anyways back to what's really important…the cars themselves. I walked around, I called out the names of the cars as I walked by them, with Charlie and Vaggie fowling me.
Charlie, I never would have taken your father as the Car type.
"Well my dad likes his expensive toys" she said with a smile.
"Expensive and rare toys…" I glanced over the many cars.
There has to be at least 20 cars in here.
"Do you have a car of your own Charlie?"
She gave a small smile "I don't know much about cars…and even so, I want to buy one with my money, not my fathers.
"I admire that. But you don't need to know much about cars…to fall in love with them. Come… walk with me."
First up was a beautiful, Metallic red, Ferrari Enzo in perfect condition.
One of the all-time greatest Ferrari's ever made in history.
And next to that was the LaFerrari.
Next was a white 1995 McLaren F1 LM. The LM standing for Le Mans. The Famous 24-hour race. The rims were painted black.
Next to that was a Blacked-out McLaren Senna. Looking absolutely menacing.
You know that one scene in Kung Fu Panda. Where inside the palace the main character is passing by all the artifact and complete freaking out about them.
That was me.
Charlie and Vaggie followed closed to me as I named off every car in her father's garage
You know when you see cars like this in movies, games, or Youtube, it's great. But when you see them up close and in person…
It is a blessing.
One after another
A Black with white stripes Ford GT40 MK2. The Ones that beat Ferrari In Le Mans in the 60's.
Next to that was the most recent and Modern Ford GT in Black.
Following these to Fords were two Porsches in beautiful Metallic Silver. the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT and its successor Porsche 918 Spyder.
Next was a group of 3 Bugatti's in Black and Blue
The Veyron
The Chiron
And the most Recent model, The Divo
All named after French Racecar drivers.
Following those 3 was 2 Pagani's.
The Zonda R which is a track car.
And, The Huayra. Which stands for 'Father of Wind'
Next was the stand out of the collection. In white…
The Lyken Hypersport. Only 7 of these cars exist…and the Devil owns one.
Lucky bastard
Rumor has it that's its headlights are made of diamonds.
Next to that were 2 Black Lamborghinis. One of them… only 3 exist in the world.
The Veneno
AGAIN…LUCKY BASTARD
And next to that was The Aventador SVJ
And Finally, the last group of cars. Of Swedish origins.
The Koenigsegg Agera RS1
Only 25 exist.
And Finally, the CCX from 2008.
…
Lucifer is one lucky demon. To own such legends
…
Now as I said there was 20 cars in this garage.
But that was only 18.
But what I saw, in the corner, in the back of the lot was beyond breathtaking. Cause these two cars…Were Customized.
Not like the rest which were kept stocked.
All I could do was gasp in amazement as I slowly walked and stopped right in front of them.
If what I am guess is Lucifer's car on my left…and Charlies mom on the right. Then this was the ultimate, Husband and Wife car combo.
Based on the colors of these two…
On my left was a metallic white 1995 Lamborghini Diablo SV custom. It had red flames going from front to back, stopping halfway down the car, and also on the roof.
On the hood was a flaming black heart in what appeared to be surround by barbed wire. Also, yellow tinted lights
On the front bumper, were three words in chrome gold that said. 'KING OF HELL'. On the sides of the front bumper in front the wheels were flaming purple hearts.
I began to walk around it.
"Charlie…your dad has a great taste in cars" I smiled.
The custom rims were amazing. The lip was chrome gold while the spokes were metallic black.
The windows were tinted blood red. And were the divide was, on both sides of the car was the number 666 and the phase 'Devils Run' underneath it. There also was a snake above the rear wheels, getting ready to strike, with its tongue out. Very angry looking.
This car was very angry and aggressive to begin with.
In front of the vents was three red claw marks, very nice touch.
The back lights were blacked out. The spoiler was left untouched, even the logos on the back, such as the bull, next to the word 'Diablo' on the left side. And the 'SV' on the right.
On the rear bumper was 4, red sixes.
And Finally, the red license plate said 'Lucifer' on it.
This car was a beast, I was only left to wonder if the engine was left untouched, or upgrade. But I do know there was a V12 in this devil machine.
This car must sound amazing.
Then I moved onto the wife's car.
A Metallic purple and gold chrome 1987 Ferrari F40 custom.
Holy shit this thing is beautiful. The car was not wildly custom like the Diablo. But looked rather standard, in a good way.
The Car was split on the colors, on the bottom half of the car was gold chrome. All the way around. And the top half metallic purple.
On the front was the same black flaming heart as seen on the diablo underneath the heart was duel gold chrome racing stripes running front to back of the car.
Even on the sides of the bumper was to flaming hearts, but instead of purple, they were red.
The windows were tinted a darker shade of purple. A sticker was on the top of the windshield.
It said 'QUEEN OF HELL'
The rims were custom, they kind of looked like the stock rims. Again, the lip was gold chrome and the spokes were black.
Moving onto the rear.
On the sides of the spoiler was the same black flaming heart.
The lights were blacked out, and above the exhaust was the same 4, sixes, but black.
And finally, the red license plate said 'Lilith'
So that's her mother's name
I was left to wonder what engine was in it? I know the Diablo had a V12. Was this the same or did it have a V8?
Before I could say anything. Charlie's phone rang. She answered.
"Hello…come up now? Ok…bye dad."
*BEEP*
Charlie looked at me, and smiled. "Come, my dad is ready for us."
…
On the opposite side of the garage were two elevators.
As we stepped in, it was a lot fancier than a normal elevator. There were only 3 buttons.
One labeled 'Garage'
Another label 'First Floor'.
and the final one labeled '100th Floor Penthouse'
How rich is this devil?
As the elevator started moving up. I let out a little laugh. "Ha, the Devil drives a Diablo. Now that is some funny shit." I said.
I looked to Charlie
"Have you ever gone on ride in that car Charlie?" I asked.
She sighed
"Well I did once, that was when dad first got the car. So, it's been a long time."
But then she smiled.
"But I have been in rides with my mom in her car."
She laughed a little as she turned to Vaggie.
"Vaggie, remember that time we were hanging around the castle, Dad was in a meeting, and mom was off from her tour.
Vaggie smiled back.
"Yeah, she called you up, told us she wanted to spend some quality girl time with us. Told us we were gonna spend all day at the mall. Shopping and having lunch."
"Wait…? Castle!?" I asked.
"Yeah" Charlie answered "We are a royal family. We live in an area away from the city, only nobles and high-class demons are allowed in. Away from the rest of the city."
God…I can only imagine the size of that place.
"Anyway, we wait outside for her. She pulls up nicely in front of us and tells us to hop in. But since it's a two-person car. Vaggie had to sit in my lap as we drove to the mall."
"Then my mom does the craziest thing. We drove normally to the mall, know, having a nice conversation. But once we stopped at a red light…My mom turned to us and gave this, evil smile. Next thing I know, the light turns green, and she FLOORS IT!
Vaggie and I held on for dear life. I yelled to my mom and said 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING?'"
Charlie whispered yelled.
"And all she did was laugh, and she was like…"
Charlie began to imitate the sound of a car engine and the motions of the steering wheel and the shifting of the gear.
Honestly… it was the cutest thing I ever witness and heard.
"Next thing we knew, we were Infront of the mall. One of the best times I have had with my mom."
I smiled.
"She sounds like the greatest mom in the world."
Charlie smiled. "I love my mom, and the day we had at the mall was the best. Especially all the cloths we bought. It was amazing how we even fit all of that in the car.
*DING*
A sound snapped us back to reality. And the door opened to the penthouse.
Here we go…about to meet the devil himself.
Hopefully this is where I don't have my soul taken.
We were meet with a small hallway running left to right.
Unlike Charlie's penthouse home in the hotel.
This one was fucking massive.
I looked down the hallway to my left and I could spot the master bedroom, the door opened almost all the way, red carpet, white and red furniture and pillows.
And the window was from top of the celling to the floor.
Speaking of the celling, this floor has got to be at least 10 feet +
We walked out to the right, and down the hallway. As we came to the end, I notice to split ether left or right.
Looking into the right side. I found an indoor 5½ -foot-deep pool. White smooth tiles, white support columns with designs carved into them.
Again, a top to floor window.
As I looked down to the same side were the bedroom was, I could spot the master bathroom, the door slight open.
My guess is that there was a door separating the bedroom form the bathroom.
Also, on the wall. (Behind the elevators) was a Huge Flatscreen TV. It had to be bigger than 75 inches.
On the side of the pool facing the window was a hot tub that was connected to the pool, but it was raised higher than the pool, so any water would just fall into the pool.
I looked to my left, the area that was close to the main entrance. I notice a bar with white countertop, and black stools. The shape was a half wide circle. Drinks lined up on the shelf's, a mini fridge and a small TV.
HOLY FUCK!
I stared in amazement.
Then I walked to the other side were the girls were waiting for me, as soon as I stepped in, I noticed it was a big kitchen. White counter tops, Red Cabinets with chrome handles, top of the line kitchen appliances, an island in the middle, with stools on one side.
The Area next, was of course the dining table.
Then following, now we were standing in the living room.
Like the other side of the floor. The windows stretched, top to bottom. Looking out I could see Charlie's others homes form here. One was the white castle on the horizon. And the other down below was the Hotel.
"You can see everything from up here." I whispered. Though I dared not place my hands on the glass.
I walked around like this place was made of fragile diamonds.
Then there was the rest of the living room.
There were three long couches in the middle of the room and a table with coasters on the middle. the corners were opened as to allow anyone to get in and out of the area, and also not walk in front of the massive 100 inches Flatscreen TV on the Wall, with speakers on each side, the cable box resting on the ground.
I could faintly see the company name on the bottom of the TV.
'VoxTech' it said.
Now we finally came to another room,
My only guess was that this… was the office.
The door was made of wood, had a carving of an apple with a snake wrapped around it
The Door was closed as we three stood silently in front of it.
"Are you ready Justin?" Charlie asked me quietly.
"Sure…just don't let me die here" I replied
"Im going to stay out here for the time being" Vaggie said who was standing next to Charlie.
"Why?" I asked
"Because I know he's going to say something that's gonna piss me off." She replied.
Charlie nodded in response. "Ok just stay in the living room until we can get this sorted out, Ok Vaggie.
"Of course, hun, Good luck" Vaggie softly replied and gave Charlie a quick kiss on the lips, before walking away.
With that done Charlie knocked on the door and waited. There was no response. Only the door magically opening up slowly.
I breathed in and then out, shaking.
Charlie calming put her hand on my shoulder, and we both entered.
The Office was dark, the only source of light was the large wide window on the right, and another window in the back.
But I can see a silhouette of a big chair in front of us.
In that moment once we stood in the middle of the room. The Lights turned on.
The room was much different form the rest of the penthouse, everything was different shades of red, and wood furniture.
On my left I could see the door that would lead to the bedroom, other than that. There was a bunch of panting and pictures around the wall.
But the one thing that caught my eye more than anything, was this humanoid creature mounted on the wall.
There was a pair of large wings. In the center was this Led mask head, with horns and a halo, and above that was a spear of some kind. Just looking at it made me feel uncomfortable.
The back-left corner of the room was a coat rack with a white coat and top hat hanging from it.
In the right corner was a mini fridge that held several acholic drinks.
Then I looked back in front of me, there in front of the chair was a wooden desked. Large and beautifully carved with snakes and an apple in the middle. Infront of the desk were two similar looking comfortable chairs
On the desk, on my right side was a small personal laptop with a webcam.
In the middle lied some papers and documents with a pen on top.
And on the left was a bottle of Jack Daniels,
But I also saw a hand, a black glove to be exact, holding a glass filled with said liquid with three ice cubes.
"Dad?" Charlie called out
"Charlotte, so good to hear from you again." A Smooth voiced called back. The glass disappears behind the chair and few seconds later was a refreshing 'Ahh'
The glass was put down and the chair swung around. He stood up as he fixed his black bow tie. A simple smirk turned to a sharp tooth smile as he finished his tie.
Here he was…Charlie's dad…The Devil himself.
Standing at 5'9
Honestly…not what I was expecting… but still terrified.
His skin was white, had rosy cheeks, Short blonde hair combed back. A sharp smile. Eyes like Charlie's. a pale yellow with black pupils.
He was wearing a red pinstripe vest with a white long sleeve dress shirt, Black leather gloves, and white dress.
He locks contact with me, I can feel myself frozen in place.
"Ahh, you must be the human. Come sit down dear boy, let us have a chat." Lucifer said as he sat back down.
Charlie and I took our seats. I was on the right; she was on the left. Lucifer poured himself another glass full of whiskey.
"What is you name Child…" he smirked
"Justin…Justin Citarella…Sir" I nervously answered.
"Pleased to meet ya…"
"So" he began. He took a sip "How are your first impressions of Hell so far" He looked at me with a smile.
"Not at all of what I was expecting…sir" I replied.
He chuckled "that's what everyone says. But enough of that" he looked to Charlie
"Charlie, can you be a dear and explain how you managed to bring a human down here."
Charlie told her side of the story, all from the hotel to the anger and frustration, and how she was just venting out her frustrations verbal, in the end, it was how her powers and anger brought me down here in the first place.
Lucifer laugh a little "Let me get this straight… not only did you manage to summon a human, but part of the house too? Im impressed.
"Dad this is not funny."
"I know, I know." he looks back at me "Now then, tell me what happened to you, were you preforming dark rituals in your room. You certainly don't look like the type to summon a demon"
I told my side. How I just got back from my vacation. And was about to get some food. But door would not open, no matter what I tried it would not open. I could hear the cries of my parents as I tried, the room shook and then it was just me alone, and the symbols on all the wall including my door. Which I punched dead center in the middle. That caused it to transfer to my hand. Then I landed, tripped and then knocked myself out.
Lucifer gave another short laugh before he hummed in thought.
"Well from what I could gather…it seems you started speaking my old language Charlie"
"What language is that?"
"…The Angels"
We were both confused.
"You're an angel?" I asked
"Fallen Angel, my dear boy" He smiled "That's what happen when you wage war with Heaven, fail, and then kicked out."
"But I didn't even know that, I don't even know what I said, let alone the Angels words."
"You fail to realize how powerful you truly are Charlie. Angel blood flows through you just as much as demon blood. Your mother once human turned Demon. Me… an Angel turned Demon. You are something beyond powerful. If you learn more magic, who knows what you could accomplish?"
"Please Dad, I didn't want any of this. I just want send Justin home, and move on from this."
"Well…that's a different story"
"What do you mean?" her voice cracked.
Lucifer turned to me. "Let me see you hand"
I reached my right hand out and tilted it down, to show the symbol. Lucifer grabbed my hand with both of his,
He studied it, as he rubbed his right thumb across it. He hummed with interest and confusion.
"This is truly unique, very different from what I've seen. It could possibly be your own marking Charlie" He let go of my hand. "Or a contract…"
"What?" Charlie said in confusion.
"You know…a deal"
"B-…I-…I…I did not mean to do it. It was by Accident. I didn't want any of this in the first place."
"Like I said before…you don't realize how powerful you truly are, my beautiful daughter."
"Well…Can't you just get rid of it?" Charlie asked
"I would if I could…But I can't."
"What do you mean?" her voice broke again in saddens.
"Basic ritual summoning child…You know the standard, pentagram made with salt or blood from and animal, red or black words, dark magic words, and or a sacrifice…tell me…was any of that stuffed used.
Charlie looked mortified. "…No"
He looked towards me "Did you do anything?" he smiled.
"No" I answered.
He sighed. "So, it would seem we are in uncharted territory. A deal, a contract, a pact…has been made. For the first time in history…without a ritual."
"Is there no way I can go home with this…?" I asked.
"Unfortunately, no"
He looked towards Charlie.
"If he was still on earth, maybe. But now that he is down here. He is now a part of this world. Even if send him through a portal, he would end up right back here. After all, it was you, Charlie, who, and I quote. 'Just wanted some help'."
.
Charlie gasped in shock. He was right. She knew at one point she said that before she summoned the human here.
.
"So how do we break it" I asked.
Lucifer smiled.
"There are two ways to do it" he held up two fingers.
"Really?" Charlie gave a small smile of hope.
"Yes…ether…You kill him…Or he kills you" He smiled again.
Charlie and I looked at each other, completely in shock. Her father laughs a little.
"And since I know for a fact, you could never kill anyone Charlie…" he looks to me "And I know for a fact that if you lay any hands on my daughter…Well let's just say, The things I would do you, you will be begging for death."
"Dad please, there has to be another way." Charlie asked.
Lucifer hummed in thought. "Well…I could try to find a way to override the spell. I'll have to get my team of demonologist to figure this out. Maybe collect some new rescores across the nine circles. That could take months…Years even. But that is his only hope."
He takes a sip of his drink. "Otherwise… to put it bluntly Charlie…You may have just condemned an innocent soul to spend the rest of his life, down here in Hell, Congratulations."
I looked towards Charlie. But she did not look back at me. Instead, I watched her slowly lean forward her head tilted down. Looking at her hands.
They were shaking.
She brought them to her face and covered her mouth. On the verge of tears. Her breathing got heavier and faster. She shook her head quickly
"Please no…please no…Please NO" her voice breaking "I didn't want this…"
She bolted from her seat and ran out the door. Slamming it shut.
*SLAM*
Now im alone…in a room…with the King of Hell himself…
"Silly girl…" Lucifer took another sip "I told her that Hotel would cause nothing but trouble" He took another sip and put the glass down, got up from his chair and walked over to the side window.
"Come over here for a second…" He called to me.
I got up and walked up right next to him, standing to his left, looking out over the red city.
"Yes…" I nervously asked
His head turned to me. He was not smiling.
"Tell me something my boy…what do you see, when you look out there?"
I looked out.
"Chaos…Violence…Death…Horror…Anarchy."
"Exactly, a Sinner's Paradise' as I like to call it. Sinners and demon engaging in whatever their black heart desires. All of this...Belongs to me" He smiled. "Of course, I have to keep some law down here.
"Charlie believes that sinners can be redeemed and sent to heaven. Do you think it's possible?" he looks at me.
"Well…I mean…Some people deserve a second chance…some don't…I guess?"
He hummed as he looked back out over the city.
"I let her play this little game of hers… I want her to fail, and when she sees that im right and her project falls flat, and that there are no changing people. I will finally have to perfect Daughter I always wanted. As for you. That Hotel is your little safe space until I can come up with something. You being down here is bad enough. That it could ruin my reputation. That and among other things…"
"…How?"
He looks to me. "Your Human Blood…Your Soul…
You are the only human down here.
It can be used to give any demon power beyond mine. If used in a spell correctly. Anyone can overthrow my reign of power. And I can't have any of that.
You're lucky im in a good mood today. Otherwise I would have killed you by now. But I want Charlie to live with her mistakes."
…
"Speaking of Charlie…"
Next thing I knew.
I felt a hard kick to the back of my legs, it caused me to drop to my knees.
I then felt a Right-hand leather glove covering my mouth. I felt myself turn to the left and stared up into Lucifer's red eyes.
Next, he pulls out a White and Gold Desert Eagle with a red apple on the handle, and points the barrel of the pistol to my head.
*CLICK*
The Hammer pulled back. My hands in surrender.
"Let me make this perfectly clear with you, boy.
I may not approve of what my daughter is doing. But she is still MY daughter. I love her very much.
This will be you first and last warning…
Hurt my Daughter…In any way, shape, or form… Physically, Mentally, or Emotionally.
I will find out. It does not matter of it's a few weeks, or a year, or after you go home.
When I do, I have a special place for people, who fuck with my family. And by the time im done with you. You will be begging for Death's sweet embrace. But you will never have that pleasure.
Are we clear?"
I nod my head in fear.
"Good…" he puts the safety back on, and pats my shoulder. "Leave, before I have a second thought.
I quickly got up and power walked to the door.
But just before I left.
"Oh, and one more thing, Justin"
I looked back. My blood ran cold.
Back at his deck he faced me. Elbows on the desk, fingers intertwined, red glowing eyes, and a wicked smile.
"Welcome to Hell…
…Please…Enjoy your stay"
With that final statement. I slowly walked out, and closed the door.
I sigh
Fuck my Life
I see Charlie and Vaggie staring out the window.
"Hey guys…"
Charlie walked away and headed towards the elevator.
Vaggie looked worried as we both followed her.
The Elevator opened up and we walked in.
As the door's closed. Vaggie asked Charlie if she was alright.
In that split second
Charlie turned and hugged me tight as she could. Her face buried into my neck. she was shaking…she was crying…hard
"Im sorry" her muffled voice called. Clearly broken.
"IMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRY"
Her cries and chocking sobs broke my heart. She didn't mean for any of they to happen.
"PLEASE FORGIVE ME, PLEASE DON'T HATE ME. IM SORRY!" Her muffled cries continued on.
.
.
.
I slowly wrapped my arms around her.
I can feel her body stiffen.
"Im not mad Charlie. You could not have known. Please…don't feel bad… I forgive you."
Charlie was quiet for a few seconds before another wave of cries started.
Vaggie joined in and hugged her tight. Both of us trying to calm her down.
.
Her Fathers words echoed in my mind
…Welcome to Hell…Please…Enjoy your Stay…
