Witch Rising (Hazbin Hotel Fanfic)

Chapter 11

Its been a week now. My feelings for Alastor have only grown. I've kept up on my shadow work and have done a few small spells here and there. There still aren't many residents in the hotel but I now knew everyone's names.

Angel was fun to hang out with. Though he could get a little wild. Vaggie and Charlie were very obviously dating, with Vaggie being the one who was completely infatuated. Its kind of funny how now that I was in love that I could recognize the feeling in others. Though I am far what I would consider to be an expert on the matter.

I was currently in the kitchen cleaning dishes. My shadow was drying them off before setting them to the side. This is our routine, when all the dishes are clean and dry then we work together to put them away. Its a similar system to what I had done in life, the only difference is my shadow could not bring itself off the ground. Instead I would have to either cast a spell to allow my shadow to possess another body like a spirit; or I would have to go each step, one at a time.

As we were finishing I started to feel a pulling sensation in my head. I saw Charlie with a surprised expression then the scene changed completely. It looked like I was in some kind of unfinished basement. In front of me there was a teenage girl, a mortal teenaged girl, who looked to be all beaten and bruised.

"M-mother M-Mary?" the teen girl asked with fear.

I just realized I no longer looked like a demon and instead looked like I did when I was Mary Smith, at 26 years old. Taking a quick second to calm myself I smiled at the girl, "Yes my child. What has brought you to summon me?" I asked her gently.

"M-my boyfriend he...he's been b-beating me. I...I threatened to l-leave and he...he locked me down h-here. I'm...I'm scared he's going to k-kill me." she stuttered out as she started to cry.

I stepped out of the circle and hugged the poor girl. It was obvious to me that she felt trapped and I could sense that she was a new witch. "It will be alright child. Mother has many ways to help you." I told her with a calming voice while stroking her hair.

"I-I want him to...to disappear. D-does that make me e-evil?" she asked as she slowly started to calm down.

"Not at all child. The evil one is him." I told her as I secretly summoned Mittens.

He appeared behind the girl and looked like an ordinary tuxedo cat. Since she wanted him to disappear that was exactly what I would make happen. Then I would tip off the police to where my child was being hidden. That way they would not suspect her in his disappearance.

"Alright my child. Mother will fix up everything. While I am doing that could you watch my familiar for me?" I asked the girl as I moved her to look at me.

"Y-your familiar?" she questioned me in confusion.

At that cue Mittens came over and rubbed against the girl, drawing her attention. "Yes, this is Mittens. Could you watch him for me?" I asked her once more.

"Sure." she answered her attention now completely on Mittens.

With the child distracted I could finally get to work. Quietly I walked up the stairs, a male voice could faintly be heard. Meaning he wasn't nearby. I tried the door to confirm that it was in fact locked. My shadow raised up and gave me a nod before making its way through the crack.

A moment later the door was unlocked and I was out of the basement. To make my plan work I had to lock the door again. With that done I turned to my shadow that was awaiting instruction. "Find out if he has a vehicle then find him." I told it.

Immediately my shadow left me. Now to perform a quick silencing spell. Don't want to scare or confuse my poor child more than she already is. I muttered the spell under my breath and attached a paper sigil to the basement to finish it. Then I put a quick spell on the paper so that it would disappear as soon as I had physically left the property.

Once I was finished my shadow returned, "He is upstairs second door on the left. He has a gun that he is currently loading. There is a black Chevy out front, his identification is inside." my shadow relayed.

"Summoned in the Knick of time." I growled before quietly making my way to the boyfriends location.

"Are we gonna bring him home as a 'special guest'?" my shadow asked in a wispy voice that only I could hear.

"Yes, we will snag him then play out a fake scene to make sure the police come to save my child." I whispered, a sadistic smile forming on my face. I was going to enjoy torturing this boy.

The boy opened the door, his eyes widening in surprise at the sight of me. Though he was quick to pull his gun on me. "Who are you and how did you get in my house?" he questioned.

"Well that makes this even better!" I said cheerfully, not bothering to answer the question posed to me.

He pulled the trigger, my shadow redirecting the bullet to hit the wall behind me. The boys eyes widened in fear. My shadow became more visible, still being in the shape of my demon form. Before the boy could try to shoot the gun again I took it, disarming him.

"Pull him in shadow." I commanded as I quickly memorized what the guy looked like before he was consumed by my shadow.

The neighbors were sure to have heard that gunshot since I had not put the silencing spell on the whole house. So, I had to make sure to act fast. I used my transformation magic to make myself look exactly like the boy. My shadow screamed as though in fear while using my child's voice before loudly slamming a door shut.

Disguised as the boy I ran downstairs. My shadow handed me keys to the Chevy and then I was outside. Neighbors were standing outside looking at the house in shock. A couple of them were on their phones likely speaking to the 911 operator, that's good. When they saw the gun in my hand they all quickly rushed inside their own houses.

I acted like I was scared and rushed into the black Chevy, turning it on. The engine came to life and I reversed quickly. Making it obvious that I was trying to flee. One of the more fearless neighbors that had stayed outside was about to try and block me so I quickly switched to drive and put the petal to the metal. I'll have to find a lake or a body of water to dump the vehicle before I could return to Hell.

This Chapter took a bit longer for me to write and type of so I hope you like it. Our first glance into the human world while Salem is a demon. Did you like the idea? Some of it is based off real stuff and some is based off fantasy. I'll be keeping both because I like the idea of having real witchcraft mixed in with the fictional. We will also soon start having more interactions with Alastor so look forward to it! The romance will start to commence sometime within the next 5 or 6 chapters.
