(Hazbin Hotel) The Radio Demon and The Doe-Eyed Killer

Chapter 158: A Glimpse of Eden

Charlie went to bed that night with a heavy heart. After watching her father's entire angelic family history play out in front of her eyes, she felt emotionally numb as she brushed her teeth and changed into her pajamas. She sighed and laid down in her old bed. There wasn't a speck of dusk in her room. It should've filled her heart with warmth but all she thought about was if it was the same thing for her father's old room? Was everything left as he had left it before the fall?

She shook her head to clear her mind and sighed as she pulled back the blankets and got into bed. As much as she loved sleeping beside her girlfriend her old bed wasn't big enough for two people. Vaggie was down the hall. As she looked around her room all the happy memories appeared in her mind and she smiled as Razzle and Dazzle climbed into bed to sleep with their big sister.

She remembered her father joking around with Uncle Gabriel and smiled softly as she remembered Uncle Azrael commenting on the fact Razzle and Dazzle reminded him of her father and Uncle Gabriel. She wondered if her father and Uncle Gabriel ever did this with Azrael or their other siblings? She figured that it was a yes...they maybe even went to Uncle Micheal as well? Possibly...he's apparently only a few years older in appearance to them...if anything it was most likely Uncle Gabriel.

Speaking of her father and Uncle Gabriel, just before she went to bed herself at 10:00 she had peeked out of her bedroom door to find her father and Uncle Gabriel heading somewhere.

"Dad?"

"Oh uh Charlie, everything's fine. Go back to bed sweetheart."

Judging by the supportive side hug her father was giving to Uncle Gabriel as they walked together, and how her uncle refused to look at her right now, Charlie figured that her father was taking her Uncle Gabriel down to the music box room to calm down.

"Oh uh...is Uncle Azrael sleeping peacefully?"

She saw how her Uncle Gabriel tensed up, only to sigh as Lucifer patted his left shoulder supportingly before turning his head to address his daughter's question.

"He's out right now sweetheart."

Charlie knew what that meant. Her eyes widened. "Wait you mean he's not in the palace?"

Gabriel spoke softly without even looking at her. "He...he had to go clear his head. He'll be fine Charlie, he's been down here regularly."

"Yeah and knowing our brother he'll probably just be underneath his invisibility cloak."

Charlie blinked at this and thought. *So Uncle Azrael's apparently taking a stroll somewhere in the city underneath his invisibility cloak.*

She's taken a few late night walks in the past to help clear her head so she understands that.

"He'll be okay though right? The nightlife of Hell is more dangerous than the daytime hours?"

"It's nothing to worry over I assure you sweetheart. He's got his sickles on him just in case, plus Raz and Daz."

"Oh? Okay...well then, goodnight dad. Goodnight Uncle Gabriel."

Gabriel finally turned his head to look over his shoulder with a soft smile and bloodshot eyes and spoke softly towards her.

"Goodnight Charlie."

Charlie sighed over that reminder of her uncle's tears as she turned to stare at the beautiful mobile her Uncle Gabriel made for her as it slowly spun above her desk. She gave a soft smile before rolling over to gaze out of her bedroom window into the skyline of Pentagram City wondering where her Uncle Azrael was? Then she gazed up towards the portal in the sky with those sad puppy dog eyes and pulled the blankets around her in a makeshift cocoon.
