Demonic Redemption

The Owl Family

Stella glared at her husband as he walked in the door. She had just gotten off the phone with Blitzo. As per their agreement, he had told her everything. Octavia stood there next to her mother with the same unwelcoming daggers in her eyes. Stolas raised an eyebrow. Stella kicked a set of suitcases to him as Octavia held the door open. Before he could say anything, he was kicked out of his home with his main belongings. He stated at the front door. Stella drew the shutters and turned away. It had been a difficult decision. But it had to be done. Stolas was no husband to her and no father to Octavia. If they weren't good enough for him, he could leave. He shouldn't have married her and given her a child, let alone date her long ago. Stella didn't shed any tears. This had been going on for far too long. Octavia hugged her mom in silence.

Alastor appeared in a void of radio static. He greeted Stolas and informed him that Stella had signed him up as a patient of the hotel after talking with Blitzo. And he wouldn't be allowed home until he learned how to be a real man, husband, and father. Stolas was bewildered. But he didn't have a choice. He followed The Radio Demon to the hotel. Charlie welcomed him and Vaggie got a set of room keys from the drawer. The process began later that day. Normally, a patient was given a day or two to settle in. However, there were two parties of victims in this case. Blitzo had already started on the path the redemption by attempting to by with Verosika again. Stella and Octavia had done nothing wrong but were suffering because of Stolas.

The first step was making Stolas understand his wrongs. The second was teaching him how to be better. The third was making sure he never made such mistakes again. Stella had been thinking about leaving Stolas and taking Octavia with her. The pain had become too much for her to bear. If the hotel couldn't fix and redeem him, it was her only choice. It was all or nothing now. And it all depended on Stolas righting his wrongs.
