Witch Rising (Hazbin Hotel Fanfic)

Chapter 13

I am going to set up a new posting schedule. I'll be posting a chapter every Tuesday and Thursday. If I have the time there may be extra chapters posted through the week but I haven't been cooking or taking care of things around the house. The change in the schedule is so that I can focus on the adulting I have to do. I hope you can understand.

Third Person POV

As Salem was walking through the city of Hell in search of woods Charlie was back at the hotel. Vaggie was concerned for her girlfriend who was filled with worry and anger. Something Vaggie didn't want to see from her kind and caring girlfriend. It took awhile for her to pull Charlie away towards the lobby.

"What's with you toots? Ha I didn't think you could get mad." Angel asked the blonde when he saw her.

"Now is not the time for your bullshit." Vaggie growled to the spider.

"Why won't she just talk to me? I was worried about her! Did I do something wrong Vaggie?" Charlie questioned turning to her girlfriend, her anger replaced with self doubt.

Before Vaggie could answer Alastor walked into the room. "What is all this commotion for? Or are you going to sabotage yourself dear? Why that would be very entertaining!" he inquired with a laugh.

"Alastor! Do you know what is going on with Salem? She disappeared in a flurry of flames earlier and just now she was in her room. There was a summoning circle and when I asked her she got really upset." Charlie unloaded everything onto the radio demon causing Vaggie to groan.

"Why the answer is simple my dear! It's obvious that she had been summoned and only just returned!" Alastor stated as though it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"Summoned by who? Salem isn't an overlord so she shouldn't have her own summoning circle right?" Husker questioned his friend.

Alastor laughed jovially, "Why that would be the case were Salem not a witch!" he stated.

"What does Salem being a witch have anything to do with this?" Vaggie asked.

Charlie on the other had looked deep in thought. Alastor waited for the princess to see if she could grasp the situation. At the same time he sent his own shadow to check Salem's room.

"Salem had said she was the highest ranking witch...so maybe lower ranking witches might want to summon her." Charlie thought aloud.

"You are on the right track my dear. Don't forget though that our dear Salem had lived two separate mortal lives. She inevitably would have twice the power of the average mortal soul, not even mentioning her witch powers. Once she completely comes into her own she could possibly rival overlords perhaps even myself!" Alastor explained his grin ever growing.

"So had she expected to end up here in Hell she could have started the process of creating and forming her own summoning circle while she was alive. Great." Husker stated before walking away to get more booze.

Just the Alastor's shadow had alerted him that Salem was not in her room but that her window was wide open. That wasn't good. If she were to be found by another overlord they might just kill her to keep her from growing in power. This worried Alastor more than he would admit.

"Well I'll be off! I would recommend apologizing though Charlie dear. Whatever happened it would seem you upset the girl." he told them before leaving the hotel, sending his personal shadow along with a couple other shadows out to search the city.

Who knew where Salem could have gone? She could be in the territory of another overlord. What if she went into Vox and Valentino's territory? She could end up dead or forced into some kind of sex work. Alastor could not let that happen.
