Amber's P.O.V:

"Amber? What are you making?"

"I'm making Miss Charlie some tea, Miss Vaggie. The poor girl hasn't been out of her room for some time. I think she could use some advice."

"Yeah! Isn't Miss Fearless Leader gonna make another doomed-to-fail plan?"

"She's...making a plan in our room...alone."

"Angel, be nice. I'll be back." I said, carrying a tray of calming tea and a bowl of fruit before I walked up to Charlie's room and used my Shadow to open the door. I saw Charlie crying under her covers while Razzle and Dazzle gave her tissues. Poor thing. She must feel so overwhelmed. I frowned and sighed before putting the tray on the bed's edge and walked to face her, gently petting her head. "Charlie, sweetie, you can't hide forever. You must face everyone sometime." I said before I saw her trying to hide under the covers. She was still crying, mumbling, "Go away, Amber. I'm not in the mood for anything." I suddenly saw Alastor appear on the other side of her bed and say, "Oh, Charlie, you look an absolute mess. Is that any way to act after picking a fight with all of Heaven and dooming everyone you love?"

"Alastor! Not the time! The poor thing is already overwhelmed with everything. She doesn't need to be reminded of what her actions did."

"Shut up, both of you! I don't need to hear your sadistic jokes, asshole! And I don't need any motherly from you, bitch!" Charlie yelled out, wrapping herself in the covers again, only for Alastor to lay beside her, scaring her, and fall out of bed before I caught her and helped her stand up. Charlie looked at me, and I gave a soft smile before I said, "You are overwhelmed, and that's understandable. But lashing out isn't going to help anyone. I know you can think of something, sweetie." Charlie walks away and starts to rant about how she feels like the cruelest Overlord before she points to Alastor and says, "All you do is stand there, smiling while you watch us struggle and fail! I don't know how you can enjoy all this suffering so much!" Charlie turned around with a defeated look before Alastor chuckled and grabbed Charlie's face gently, saying, "Just because you see a smile doesn't tell you what's going on underneath. A smile is a valuable tool, my dear. It inspires your friends, keeps your enemies guessing, and ensures that no matter what comes your way, you're the one in control."

"But I'm not! I'm the farthest thing from control! The one person I trust the most has been lying to me for years! Heaven refuses to listen! And the only one who did listen can't do anything against Adam! I have no proof that the Hotel works, and an army is pointed right at my doorstep! I can't do anything to protect everyone!!" Charlie yelled out, slamming her fist on the window, and I was about to walk over to her when Alastor started singing, "I know something you don't know." Charlie and I looked at Alastor, confused, before Alastor grabbed Charlie's shoulder and said, "Those big scary angels aren't quite as indestructible as they seem. This band of misfits might stand more of a chance than you think." Alastor let go of Charlie's shoulder and was about to walk away before Charlie yelled out in desperation, "HOW?! I'LL DO ANYTHING!!"

"Anything? Then... let's make a deal."

"You... You want her soul?!"

"Her soul? Heavens no! All I need from Charlie is one itty-bitty favor! What's a favor between friends?"

"I won't hurt anyone for you."

"Who's asking?! One favor at a time of my choosing where you harm no. And in return, I tell you what I know. Do we have a deal?" Alastor said, holding his hand out and looking at Charlie before I saw Razzle and Dazzle growling. I don't like this. What is he planning? Something isn't right. My Radio Star is hiding from me. And I think it's something he doesn't want me to know. I don't like it. I looked at Charlie and saw she was quiet before she put her hand out, and her horns came out, saying, "Deal." Alastor and Charlie shook hands before I saw Alastor's mouth, and I covered my mouth. His mouth was stitched to keep him smiling, and I saw the room turning green, showing the different Voodoo symbols. But I kept looking at Alastor's mouth in horror. Who...Who did this to my Radio Star?! Who forced him to smile in such pain?!
