I know this is all part of the plan, but after spending so many days being so close to Alastor it feels weird not being around him anymore. To pretend that we're not agreeing on top of it is proving to be quite a test. I know Alastor probably isn't a fan of my dark red tank top and black leggings combo while we go out, but if we're supposedly arguing I wouldn't care about his opinion on my clothing. Plus, compared to other demons in this club this is pretty damn tame!

Though this looks similar to the club we went to before there are some slight differences to this one. The flashing lights and loud music are the same, but the small stages with stripper poles are new. I sip on my drink slowly; I can't lose my conscious thought tonight. It's entertaining to see some of the shenanigans happening around already though.

"So, a last night out, huh?" Vaggie questions, focusing on me as she holds her drink. "You're going to miss us, aren't you?" She asks as she smiles.

"Absolutely!" More than she knows. I have a feeling that things won't be the same after tonight. "I don't think I'll find friends as cool as you in Heaven." Because I have no plans to actually go. "I wish I could visit. Or I wish you could visit." I sigh.

"Hey, I'll be redeemed in no time!" Angel says as he crosses his legs in the seat next to me. "I'll be with you soon!" He states with a wink.

"Oh, you think so, huh?" I question. "How exactly does the new upcoming porn industry overlord get redeemed?" I smirk as I take a drink.

"By improving the industry." Angel explains. Interesting. "By removing the abuse of the workers. Making the job a safe and educational environment. There are things that need to change, and for the better." Wow, he actually doesn't have a bad idea. Would it be enough for Heaven though?

"That's actually not a bad idea Angel." I compliment him, making him genuinely smile. "I think you'll be a great manager and you'll make some positive changes." If I have anything to say about the outcomes of this night, he will too.

I keep thinking about how if everything goes according to plan, Hell will be under our rule. What changes would I want to see? What would I want to stay the same? What would Alastor want? I wonder how hard it is going to be to rule. In order for me to get there though I have to get things started. I twirl my drink and internally sigh, here we go.

"Well, it's my last hurrah. What do I have to do to get a private show from the famous Angel Dust?" I ask, motioning to one of the stripper poles near our booth.

Angel looks at the pole and then back at me with a laugh. "You know, Heaven is going to have a hard time keeping you on a leash, hot stuff." He chugs the rest of his drink, puts the empty glass down and stands up, fixing his boots. "I expect eyes on me the whole time though! Especially yours, hot stuff!" He yells as he walks over to the stage.

"Aw yeah!" Cherri yells excitedly, supporting her best friend as she runs over to the stage. The rest of us follow suit. Me, Charlie, Vaggie, Cherri, and even Niffty are all attentive to Angel giving us a fun and entertaining performance. It's actually very impressive to see the moves he can make and how easy he makes it look.

"Charlie, have any singles?" I joke with a laugh, cheering Angel on.

She laughs and pulls out her wallet from her pocket. "Actually!" She's surprised but she does have a few. She jokingly starts holding out single bills, which coaxes Angel to crawl closer to us and take the singles with his teeth. We're all dying at the theatrics.

By the time the loud song ends we're all giving Angel a round of applause as he makes his way off the small stage.

"Five stars! Flawless! Greater than great!" I put my hand over my heart, being a bit dramatic. "I'm so moved." I jokingly have my voice crack like I'm going to cry.

"Hey, you better remember this performance. It's all you get!" Angel points at me and laughs.

"Aw! But I'm not ready for it to be over." I whine, looking around the group. I have a mischievous smirk on my face. "What do I have to do to convince the Princess of Hell to give us a performance?" I ask loud enough for everyone to hear.

Angel and Cherri are on board with this idea, but understandably, Vaggie and Charlie are not.

"Oooooh no!" Vaggie argues, waving her hand at me. "No way in Hell am I letting my princess do any such thing." Vaggie truly is a wonderful girlfriend.

"Yeah, besides I can't do nearly half the things Angel can do!" Charlie says with a slight laugh, holding her arms, obviously uncomfortable.

"Aw come on! Shit, how does that song go again?" I mutter, acting like I'm thinking it through.

I look closely at the entire group I brought along. It's important I have all their attention for this to work. Hopefully one small verse will be enough.

Since I hold the power of Alastor's staff, I should be able to manipulate them. Let's see if this works.

"Mommy don't know daddy's getting hot,

At the body shop,

Doing something unholy."

All it takes is thirteen words. Thirteen words and the group is looking at me waiting for my next command. Perfect.

"Come on, Charlie. For me?" I ask again, the smirk still on my face. "Give us a show." I command.

"Yeah babe! You can do it!" I can even get Vaggie to encourage her.

"Oh okay! Fine!" Charlie's gold tinted eyes roll with a big smile. She giggles as she walks up to the stage, looking at the stripper pole as if trying to figure out exactly what to do.

"Whoo! Get it princess!" I yell loudly. This gets the response I was hoping for, others are slowly noticing.

I see heads turning in our direction. Other demons are curious if it's actually the Princess of Hell. Once they start realizing it is, they move in our direction.

"Holy shit! Do my eyes deceive me?!" The DJ of the club says over the loudspeaker. "The Princess of Hell is going to give us a show!" There's now a spotlight on Charlie and a new song has started. The thumping beat has the club in a frenzy.

"Where did all of these people come from?" Charlie questions with a little laugh as she holds the stripper pole and walks around it.

"They're here to see you, Charlie!" I say excitedly. "We're all waiting for a show. Give us a show, Charlie." I confirm with her.

Charlie laughs and looks at me with her gold tinted eyes. She does one more walk around the stripper pole before standing in front of the crowd and slowly taking her red jacket off. She throws it into the crowd who absolutely loses their shit. The only people under my manipulation right now are the group we came with; the crowd is acting on their own. As long as she stays on that stage and I have Vaggie, Angel, Cherri, and Niffty under my control I can keep her safe.

"As you wish." Charlie says.
