As night fell, she was sitting on my couch, crossed-legged, staring out upon hell. Her gorgeous golden hair flowed at her waist, and her red horns protruded right through her head. She was dressed in a long, dark silk outfit with crimson highlights that hugged her form flawlessly.

I was in the kitchen, observing her with suspicion as she poured herself and me some wine.

Making my way toward her I set her glass down while I sat with mine across from her sitting in an armchair that was covered in a hand-knitted chunky blanket.

"Now that we are settled." taking a sip of wine.

"Lilith."I stare at her "What do you need?"

Lilith looks at Arta with a sly smile.

"Look dear, I need some help with my daughter." she says nonchalant

"Really? the one who's trying to find a way to help demons become redeemed?" I laugh
"Or is there another daughter you've been speaking of?"
"Very funny." Lilith says while looking at me annoyed.

"Anyways"she said sitting back on the couch. " she's a lot like you"

"How so?" I questioned

She looks at me very seriously " she wants to protect the innocent and give justice to the forgotten." she says " or is that not your total existence?"

I look at her while taking another sip of my wine. "Are you sure you want me to help Lilith? You know this type of stuff comes at a price."

"I know." she looks down to her wine glass, red lipstick mark glazed the brim of the glass. She looks up at me with pure contempt.

I get up from my chair sighing. "Okay. I'll get the contract."

"Do we really need a contract??" she says with unbelief."I mean come on, I'm the queen of hell?!" she justified

"Lilith." I say sternly "you are just like the rest of them no matter what status."

"Ugh. Fine." she says annoyed. "Let's lay out the terms."

I snapped my fingers leaving a green glow onto my eyes. Popping up on the coffee table was yellow parchment paper with gold lettering.

"Here are the terms." I say with slight annoyance. "If I am going to help out at the hotel and maybe get it to work. You will have to stay out of it."

"What!"she says in surprise."Why do I need to stay out of the hotel??"

"You can't be messing things up Lilith." I look into her eyes. " I know your true attention. And I don't like it."

"Hm. Fine then." she agrees "I am Lilith Morningstar, first woman on earth and queen of hell. Take this deal." as she extends her hand her eyes turn reds

"And I Arta, the middle angel, the justice for the forgotten and protector of the innocent. Take this deal."

A foreboding green hue fills the room as they join hands. Red and blue hues swirled through the air, entwining themselves with the two people.

"With this, our deal solidifies." I reply, closing my hands as the room comes back to its normal color.

"Now get out."




The next day was filled with getting ready for the conquest of the deal.

I wake up after sleeping another sleepless night, taking in my surroundings, I get up out of my red silk sheet with the sounds of screams from my next-door neighbor mixed with my alarm clock ringing next to my ears.

I reach over to the alarm clock and turn off the annoying sound.

I take a long breath lying down on the bed looking straight up at the ceiling; Taking in every detail before having to get ready for day.

Finally getting the strength out of my bed I get dressed for the day in my normal attire
