Redemptious Sin ~A Hazbin Hotel Fanfic~

Learning of History

Poppy backed herself up agaisnt the farthest wall of the room, watching Kenneth grip tightly to his scepter. It pulsated with green life.
"Now, tell me why an angel like you is doing here." Kenneth growled.
"I am not an angel." Poppy growled back.
"Then why do you bleed gold blood? Only angels are blessed with holy Divine Ordainment so I ask again, why do you bleed angel blood?"

Poppy watched as the slow release of black and green smoke oozed from his coat, trailing behind him.
"I don't know!"
The smoke continued to swirl in the room and around her feet. Kenneth stared at her watching the smoke rise up to her chest.
Poppy heaved in and out in quick breaths, hyperventilating from the fear.

She covered her mouth and nose in desperation.
"Give me answers or else face my wrath." Kenneth threatened, reaching up to his mask.
"I DON'T KNOW!! I SIGNED MY SOUL TO VALENTINO!" Poppy shouted at the top of her lungs.
Kenneth smirked at her thunderous plea, "You don't really think I am that naive. I know you sold your soul to that pompous pimp. But it doesn't explain your angelic attributes."

The smoke slithered up Poppy's nose causing her eyes to roll to the back of her head. The smoke crawled to her lungs, grasping tightly. She tried to take in a couple of breaths with her hands clutching arounf her throat.
"Answer the damn question."
Poppy choked and slid to the floor unable to breath let alone anwser Kenneth back.
Her eyes stared at Kenneth watching as he slowly went to remove his mask.

She, for once, wished to be at the studio being rag dolled by Valentino than be in this situation. She could feel the fur of her newly accompanied demon fox writhe in her lap from the smoke. This angered her and through her struggles, Poppy could feel a new rage break through the smoke. A bright light, as golden as the blood within her, surged and break free of the smokes intoxicating grasp. It knocked Kenneth back against his bed.

Poppy hustled towards the door with her friend in her arms.
"I will get my answers." Kenneth threatened, getting back to his feet.
Poppy slammed the door shut behind her and ran straight into Charlie.
"Oh I am so sorry Poppy. I should have warnes you." The princess smiled.
"Oh, no that was my fault. I wasn't watching where I was going."
The door behind Poppy creaked open and Kenneth cracked a peek at their collision.

"I was just about to come get you for our group session." Charkie smiled getting excited.
"Oh yeah?" Poppy asked blocking Kenneth's view.
"I figured today we share something traumatic and what brought us to Hell." Charlie shared hopping from one foot to the other.
Poppy smiled nervously, "That just sounds dandy."
"I would gladly come to witness this social gathering."

Poppy groaned hearing Kenneth gaining the upper hand by fully exposing himself from the room.
"Oh ues, the more the merrier!" Charlie happily chimed.
"Oh so grand." Poppy growled still grinning from ear to ear.
Poppy followed closento Charlie feeling Kenneth behind her. Still replaying their little comversation in her head, Poppy knew Kenneth was far from being done talking to her. He wanted answers and one way or another, he was going to get them.

All three of them ventured down to the foyer to the large meeting room where a few other sinners including Angel Dust, Husker, Vaggie, Niffty, and Alastor.
"Hey everyone! I convinced Poppy to come join and guess who also tagged along!" Charlie sang, "Kenneth! Now we have a full group session!"
"Well, well. I didn't take you as the sharing type." Alastor commented, smirking towards Kenneth.
"Just observing." Kenneth answered back but kept his gaze upon Poppy.

Poppy sat beside Angel Dust with Husker on the other side of him.
"Nice of you to join us." Husker smiled, holding a bottle in his hand.
"I see tall, dark, and deathly followed you." Angel Dust whispered.
"Yeah, he's been kinda weird towards me." Poppy lied but she felt safe with Angel knowing she was being stalked even if she didn't tell him the true reason.
