Chapter 2
November 20, 2025 at 11:41 PM
When I woke up I almost jumped out of bed. where was I and why was I here? But then the memories came rushing back and I calmed down slightly. I missed the mornings where I would wake up with my dog Nucy laying on my lap and refusing to move. But of course those days were over now.
I got up in my bed and stretched my arms and legs out. Yawning and then getting up from bed. I walked to the bathroom. Put the tub on. I took my clothes off.
still getting used to the fact that I have fur. I put my clothes on a rack and checked if the bath tub was ready. I test the water with my finger tip. I decide it is good enough and I slip into the bath tub.
I grab some shampoo and put a generous amount on my hands. I rub my hands together and I rub the shampoo over my long haired fur mostly on the fur by my neck but I still clean the rest of my body. I sigh relieved of finally getting a bath after yesterday.
The bubbles in the water make me feel slightly more relaxed. I continue to wash my fur making it wet and soaked.
I stared at the ceiling wondering if I could see how Darlwin is doing.
I finish up my bath as I get out of the water I unplug the bath tub causing the water to be drained out.
I grab the hair dryer and warm myself up. my fur puffed up with heat regaining its fluffiness once again.
I grab my clothes and put them on quickly. I walk out of the bathroom and head to the entrance of my hotel room.
I look around for Charlie and just give up eventually.
"Looking for Charlie?" A drunk voice said behind me.
I turned around to see a bartender. a large, greyish-brown cat-like demon who looks sort of like me.
"Yeah I was just wondering if there was anyway to-" I was stopped by the cat.
"Welp Charlie isn't here right now so tell her about it later when she comes back or even better where I can't hear your voice." He growled rudely.
"Whatever drunk cat." I reply rolling my eyes.
"Don't call me that." He snarled.
"then what is your name?" I asked him as I raising my eyebrows sassily.
"The name's Husk. I'm the bartender of course." He replied.
"Nice. So what is Charlie doing?" I asked as I sat down on one of the chairs.
"I don't know, it's not like I keep track of her." He said rolling his eyes.
"Want anything to drink..." He looked at me hinting me to introduce myself.
"Ace." I replied.
"So Ace do you want a drink?" He asked me.
"Sure what types of drinks you got?" I ask him.
"We got beer, whiskey, Ginger ale, Ale, tequila, and wine." He listed the drinks like if it was his thousandth time.
"Uh any non-alcoholic drinks?" I ask trying not to sound weird or anything.
"What? scared of a little beer?" He asked mockingly.
"No I just prefer Not to waste my time drinking my life away." I reply sharply.
"But that's the thing we don't have a life anymore. We are just here now for the rest of eternity." He said leaning against the wall staring at the wall blankly.
My eyes darkened slightly as I heard his words.
"Well what do you demons do here?" I ask plainly.
"Are you sure you want to know that?" He asked, His eyebrows raised and his eyes gave her a judging stare.
"Nevermind.." I reply distantly.
"That's what I thought." He stated.
"So do you have anything else like soda?" I ask.
"Look over there." He said pointing at something a little further away. I turned around and it was a vending machine.
"Thanks. Do you have any cash that I can use?" I ask him.
He just laughed like I had told him the funniest joke on earth well in hell.
"Cash? Really? Just hit the glass it's broken anyway." He replied after laughing at me.
"Right just break it open.. got it." I replied as I got up from my chair.
I walked to the vending machine. He was right it looked like one single hit on the glass and the drink would fall down.
I hit the glass not too hard but hard enough. A can of Ginger ale soda fell down. I shrugged and just grabbed it.
I walked back to the bar with the can of Ginger ale soda. I sit back in my chair and open the can.
Then a flamboyant, four-armed spider-demon guy walks in the hotel.
I see Husk smiles slightly at the person's presence.
"Hey Husk can I get some wine?" The guy asked as he sat down at a chair on the other end of the table.
"Of course Angel Dust." Husk replied to the guy.
"Oh who are you?" Angel Dust asked me curiously.
"My name is Ace. yeah i'm a new demon here." I reply smiling a bit.
"Welcome to hell. We got Casino's, Bars, Things that make happiness, Drugs, and even a Cannibal town. Just a tip maybe don't go to the Cannibal town." Angel dust hinted.
"Thanks for welcoming me to hell. But is there anyway that I can find out how or why I even died?" I asked him.
He hesitated.
"I don't know. Maybe Lucifer does but I don't know if he will just let you into his office just like that." He answered my question after a couple minutes.
I took a sip of my soda it was nice and refreshing.
"Where can I find Lucifer? Or when can I talk with him?" I ask after taking a second sip of my soda.
"Ask Charlie she is his daughter after all. She should be able to let you talk to him somehow. Eventually." He replied a little distantly.
"Hell is so confusing." I say frustratedly.
"Yep welcome to the reality of it." Husk replied chuckling softly.
Husk was standing behind the counter cleaning out a glass with a piece of cloth.
"Well do any of you know where Charlie might be?" I ask again.
"No." Husk replied.
"Yeah I'm pretty sure I saw her and Vaggie walking around." Angel Dust replied after Husk.
"Thanks." I say smiling at Angel Dust.
"Don't say thanks I was just doing you a favor." He replied.
"Ok I guess." I said my smile had faded away.
I get out of my chair and I leave the bar area. I head towards the entrance of the hotel.
As I walk out I immediately duck my head when a guy misses his target and it hits the door.
"Hey! Watch where you're shooting!" I yell at the ugly demon.
It was a weird Lizard thing with a huge lump on the back. Was this the one that Leon had mentioned?
The guy just shot at me again. I dodge the bullet immediately. It didn't even scratch me.
"Damn you bitch." The ugly lizard snarled.
"Welp not my fault that you're a lizard." I huff as I walk away searching for Charlie.
"Now where is Charlie." I whisper to myself.
