A Missing Morningstar

Ch. 8 Life without Charlie

Vaggie rolled over expecting the embrace of her lover but when she opened her eyes there was nothing.

"Oh... right..." She snapped back in reality.

Vaggie exited her room. She was gonna try to continue rehabilitating sinners without Charlie.

She saw Angel Dust, Cherri Bomb and Sir Pentious in the lobby.

"Alright guys let's try a sorta secret Santa like exercise." Vaggie suggested 

"You make a gift for someone and make it something they'll love without them knowing it's you."

Sir Pentious liked the idea, so did Angel, Cherri wasn't a fan of it but she knew not to piss of a griefing Vaggie.

"Let's try it." Angel said.

So they each got assigned someone to make gifts for while keeping their identity a secret.

Cherri Bomb was in her room when she heard a knock on her door. She opened it and found a steam punk styled Grenade launcher. 

"Hehe who could this be from?" She said pretending to play dumb.

Vaggie was doing some various paperwork when Lucifer came in.

"Hey Vaggie...how are you feeling?"

".....Better than yesterday...."

Lucifer puts her hand on Vaggie's shoulder.

"It'll be okay...." He said comforting his daughter's lover.

Vaggie got up holding a ton of papers.

"Huh? What are you doing?" Lucifer questioned.

"I'm hanging up these missing posters."

Lucifer then began to follow her, "I'll help you." He said.

The two walked around town even walking by a small Cafe.

They hung up the numerous posters. It was awkward as the two didn't really talk much.

"I miss her too..." Lucifer suddenly said.

"We all do..." Vaggie replied.

"It was my fault...I caused the fires..." Lucifer said...

"Huh? It wasn't your fault it wasn't anyone's."

"Yes it was mine... I threw the ball, the ball knocked stuff over and cause the fire...I killed my daughter..."

Vaggie shushed him.

"Listen you may have thrown that ball but you didn't mean any of it, it was an unlucky circumstance... besides Charlie wouldn't want you to beat yourself up.." She put her hand on Lucifer's shoulder.

"Your...your right..."

The two continued putting up posters.

...

...

But then when they weren't looking an electric blue claw torn them down...

"Sorry but I can't let you find your daughter."
