Witch Rising (Hazbin Hotel Fanfic)

Chapter 1

This is my own drawing/sketch of what the character looks like.

I woke with a groan. My whole body hurt reminding me that I'd been shot. Opening my eyes the first thing I saw was a red sky. That was a bit strange but it didn't matter at the moment. I looked at my body, not to see bullet wounds but torn clothes over a fur covered body.

I don't remember casting a transformation spell. Actually I should have died from my wounds. So where am I? I had performed a lot of dark magic during my time on earth. Then perhaps that means I am in hell now.

I wonder if I can still use my spells. Though I don't exactly have my spell book anymore. Guess I will just have to try things the hard way and if it works I could make a new spell book. Similar as to how I made both my first and second spell books from the two different times I had lived.

First things first though. I should try to manipulate my shadow, bring it to life if you will. In the living world I was just barely able to do this without and incantation. Then I should see if I am able to summon my cat familiar. Honestly, I miss the annoying furball from my first life.

Carefully, I sat up facing my shadow. Now I needed to focus. Imagine my shadow developing a face, remember its personality. While doing this I saw my shadow start to ripple like disturbed water. Then two circles emptied out of where my shadows head was. My shadow now had eyes.

"Do you have a mouth yet?" I asked it.

The shadow shook its head from side to side. With a sigh I begun to focus once more. Making sure my intent was to give my shadow a mouth and a voice. As I did this my shadow began to ripple once more. The time an empty space formed in the shape of a smile.

"There we are. Can you try to speak for me?" I inquired.

"Yes, thank you." My shadow responded with a wispy voice and a huge grin.

Now to move onto the last thing I want to do with my shadow. Move it away from myself and off the ground. Doing this even once will make doing it later much easier. The more I do it the less I'll have to think about it to actually do the action.

Slowly I stood up, my shadow growing as I do so. Closing my eyes I set my hands out in front of me and began to focus. I imagined my shadow standing up in front of me then walking away from me. Taking a deep breath I opened my eyes to see my shadow standing at the opposite end of the alley.

"You should take a break. Don't want to overdo it on the first day." My shadow warned.

"You're right." I sighed, "I'll have to try summoning Mittens later. Guess we can try to find a clothing store to steal from."

"Sounds good. We also need a place to stay. Maybe a job if you want to play it safe." My shadow informed me.

Nodding i walked out of the alley. My shadow returning to its original state. A couple of the demons would look at me when I passed. Other than the ones who would wolf whistle at me I was left alone though. As I was walking I saw a sign reading 'Hazbin Hotel'. I suppose I could see about getting myself a place to stay first.
