No One's POV

Charlie was lying down in a hospital bed wearing a hospital gown.

She was being treated for physical and mental trauma.

She had spent 3 days recovering.

But it was too late.

Hell's Good Apple was starting to rot.

Charlie had to be cuffed to the bed, due to some mental breakdowns.

Lucifer and Lilith visited their daughter.

Charlie said nothing during their visit.

Lucifer told the Doctors he'd pay for the treatments to help his daughter.

Arackniss entered the room an hour after they left.

He walked over to right side of the bed.

"I'm sorry about what happened to Vaggie." Said Arackniss. "But I had a choice, and it had to be you."

Charlie clenched her fist.

"Doctors have been contacting me." Said Arackniss. "They've said that you've been having breakdowns, that you wake up screaming, that you wish to be put into a permanent sleep."

Charlie bitterly chuckled.

Charlie wasn't looking at Arackniss, but instead at the wall to her left.

"What did most people say," Started Charlie. "when I first announced my plan for the Hotel?"

Arackniss sighed.

"Oh, Charlie." He said saddened.

"Say it." Said Charlie calmly.

Arackniss couldn't bring himself to say it.

"SAY IT!" Demanded Charlie with a lot more fury.

Arackniss sighed again.

"We thought that you were a crazy bitch." Admitted Arackniss. "We thought nobody would believe it."

Charlie sighed.

"Maybe they're right." Said Charlie.

Arackniss felt baffled at her statement.

"Maybe redemption is bullshit." Chuckled Charlie bitterly. "Not everyone can be redeemed. Maybe nobody can be fucking redeemed."

"Charlie, please don't do this." Said Arackniss. "You're the first Princess of Hell to actually give a shit about her subjects. You're the kind of hope that I, Anthony, nor Cherri could never be."

"You said my idea was ridiculous." Said Charlie. "Why would you listen to me now?"

"I'm sorry, Charlie." Said Arackniss truthfully.

Charlie glared at Arackniss with anger.

"No." Said Charlie. "No you're not. Not yet."

~~Meanwhile~~

Vox was in his office.

The door opened.

"God dammit, People," Vox said angrily. "I demanded that nobody bother me."

All of Vox's body guards entered.

"Are you disgusting imps?" Asked Vox. "I said stay the fuck out."

"Now, now." Said a radio voice. "That's no way to treat your employees."

Alastor entered the room.
