Chapter 1
November 19, 2025 at 10:57 PM
It was a late night at the club when I had started to walk home. My friend Darlwin by my side as I helped him walk in his drunk state. "Hey Ace I just want to say I-" Suddenly his voice was cut off as a sharp ringing sound hit my ears like lightning it pierced my ears.
I screamed in pain. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Darlwin and his horrified face as I fell to the ground. Darkness filled my eyes as my head hit the ground hard. Everything went dark no sounds no nothing just straight up silence. The silence was eerie I felt a shiver run down my spine.
The sharp ringing left me. Just me and the silence of the darkness.
"Welcome." A mysterious yet somehow familiar voice spoke from behind her.
I turned around my eyes wide with fear but before I could see who it was a deafening blast of light shot in my eyes.
I was blinded for a second. When I finally opened my eyes I saw the gates of heaven and hell. There was a tall angel standing in front of me scanning a list that he was holding in his hands.
"Ace right?" He asked me.
"Yeah, who are you and why am I here?" I ask my head reeling panic running through me.
"Oh yeah forgot about that part. You died welcome to the gates of heaven." He said blankly not even blinking or smiling to make me feel welcomed.
"What?!" I asked almost screaming.
"Can you calm down?" He asked me to rudely raising a brow. His light blue hair glimmered in the light.
"Anyway, it says here that you are going to hell." He said blankly just pointing to the gate of hell.
"What?! But i'm innocent." I ask my eyes widening.
"So you would call stealing and involving with the Mafia innocent?" He asked me raising both of his eyebrows now giving me a judgemental look.
"okay maybe I didn't make the best choices but..." I stopped talking when I realized that the guy was not going to buy any excuse I gave him. I sigh.
"Exactly what I thought. Anyway you shall be staying in the Hazbin Hotel just ask for a room i'm sure they will give you a room." He replied burning the list.
"So do I go or..." I start talking but the guy cuts me off again.
"Yeah just walk through the gate of hell." He replied shoving me forward.
I nod hesitantly as I walk into the gate of hell. I feel a strange sensation as fur crawls over my skin. I transformed from a human to a furry human.
"WHat the hell am I?!" I ask startled by the sudden transformation.
"Hah guess the devil transformation is already working. Looks like a furry Maine coon cat thing." He replied laughing a bit.
He pulled out a large mirror out of mid air and angled it to me. I looked at myself in the mirror that he had pulled out. I had turned into a grey Maine coon cat with the body of a human but all of the features of a cat except I was on two legs and I had Wings!
"Wings?!" The guy was startled.
"Well I like them so you can't take them from me." I said pridefully hands on my hips. I also had a very nice looking maroon crop top hoodie with a tight white shirt underneath with baggy cargos that were basically flames but painted on to the black cargos. I had fluffy ears with little fur tufts at the end of my ears and gold hoop piercings in my ears. My chest had a huge bunch of fur it was really fluffy. I also had greyish red hair like a mane down my neck. I had grown a fluffy long haired tail It was maybe three feet long. Then my transformation was finished.
"You got lucky with your looks there.There was this one guy who Literally turned into a ugly lizard thing with this huge lump on his back." He said smirking for once.
"Hey by the way you never told me your name. Can you tell me?" I ask raising a brow.
"No can do sorry but it's uhm against rules." He replied quickly.
"What rules?" I ask.
But he just gestures for me to go to the Hazbin Hotel.
"It's done being rebuilt so you should be good to go." He replied handing me a Location of where the hotel was.
"You angels are weird." I say my face is not showing disgust but confusion instead.
He walks away leaving me alone in the gates of hell. I roll my eyes.
"jerk.." I say distantly.
Then I start heading towards the Hazbin Hotel. On my way there I had to avoid three demons trying to shoot each other. One almost hit me but thanks to the Mafia I had the skills of dodging bullets. As I approached the Hazbin Hotel I noticed someone outside of the Hotel leaning against the wall. I waved at them but they ignored me and just left.
"Right demons are demons." I spoke softly to myself.
I walked inside the hotel. As I walk in I see a bar and a person who looks like they could give me keys to a room. She is a tall, slim demon, standing around 6 feet tall. Her skin is white with red cheeks.She has long, wavy blonde hair in a thick braid, with a white streak in her bangs.Her eyes are bright red with yellow sclera.She typically wears a white buttoned undershirt with a red collared tuxedo over it, red pants, and black heels. She has a few demonic features, such as red-toed hooves, pointed fingernails, and other traits that are sometimes more prominent in her full demon form.
I observed her a little bit longer and then walked over to where she was.
"Hi uh I'm Ace and I was just wondering if I could get a room here." I say slowly picking my words carefully.
"Oh Hi i'm Charlie Morningstar. Yes of course you could get a room here. Are you a new demon?" She said as she warmly smiled at me. She handed me some keys and gestured for me to follow her.
"Yeah the angel at the gates told me to go this way." I replied.
"Oh did you meet the light blue haired one or the yellowish haired one?" She asked curiously.
"The light blue haired one. The jerk never told me his name." I replied rolling my eyes annoyed.
"Ha yeah he is a new gate keeper he only started three days ago. He likes to be a bit secretive even though after all he is just acting that way to make himself look more important or something like that."She replied laughing softly. She wasn't that bad.
"So what is his name?" I ask still wanting to know.
"Oh his name is Leon. Oh and here is your room." She replied smiling at me.
"The bar is only open until 8:00 Pm. Okay bye." She said quickly as she left me at the door of my room. I held my keys in my right hand and started to unlock the door it seemed peaceful enough. One bathroom, one bedroom, and even a small kitchen. It was home.
"Let's see what type of quality this place has." I sighed.
Then I started looking around the hotel room. No plumbing problems. No loud neighbors. Just nice enjoyable silence.
I looked around my hotel room it was nice and the bed was comfortable. I look into the mirror taking in the sight of the demon. I had tucked my wings under my shirt it looked odd. I found some stretchy bandages. I took off my shirt and hoodie. My top half of my body is uncovered now. I grabbed the bandages and wrapped them tightly around my wings and my torso. Hiding my wings away. It hurt at first but I got used to it. Then I put my shirt back on and my hoodie too. I sit gently on the large window sill. Staring out the window. Was Darlwin ok? Will I be ok? I thought to myself.
"I miss you Darlwin." I say softly thinking back to the fun memories we had through out our lives.
I missed it all. No I missed my life. I touch the window with my finger tips softly and gently. I sigh.
I get up and head to bed. As I get into bed I wonder if Darlwin also died.
