We'll get there

"You did what?!" Charlie yelled, her demon form showing a little. "How will you get to Heaven now?..." She said, seeming hopeless. 

I saw Angel out of the corner of my eye, wincing a bit. I had recently learned his soul belonged to Valentino. I knew Charlie was trying to get him to Heaven despite this, but hearing her say that must have hit hard for him, knowing he might not have a chance. 

"It's fine... Angel is owned by a Vee, and he has a chance, I'll just go to work with him everyday." I said, trying to sound hopeful.

Charlie took my hands in hers. "I don't have control over your actions, but I really don't think this is a good idea, Marie. I've seen the things Valentino does, I don't want you getting abused too." Her eyes her stained with worry and concern. 

I squeezed her hands reassuringly. "Everything will be fine Charlie, I can handle myself." I let go out her. She just nodded, and walked over to Vaggie, probably for comfort.

I started upstairs to my room. Charlie had decorated it for me, but it still looked the same as all the others, but the colors were black, white and blue. I flopped on my bed, burring my face in my pillow. I eventually fell asleep, not bothering to change or brush my tangled hair. 

When I woke up I saw Angel standing right in front of me. 

"Angel! What the fuck?!" I jumped, and sat up quickly. He laughed. "I couldn't wait to have you come to work with me, I like having company half the time, so I'm just excited." He grinned, sitting on the edge of my bed, Fat Nuggets in his arms. 

I groaned and got up, not bothering to change again but I did brush my hair. "Okay, we can go."


 ....


When we entered the Vee Tower, Valentino greeted us. 

"Angel, baby! I missed you..." He grabbed Angel's arm and kissed his hand, then glanced at me. "And who is this lovely senorita we have here?" He was about to walk over before Vox came over using his power.

"Back off Val, she's mine." He said, his voice monotone. He stood straight, his hands behind his back. 

"Oh, I didn't think you'd want to own her... I could use her in some of my films, if you'd let me borrow her." Val grinned, is red stained teeth showing. 

Vox shook his head and walked over to me, putting a hand on my shoulder and guiding me away from Val and Angel. "Let me show you around, and get you into something else, Velvette and help with your clothing." 


....


He showed me all around the tower before he took me to Velvette. She was very speedy about getting me something to wear, and soon enough I was dressed in a black suit, although the bottom was a skirt. She gave me black platform boots as well. 

I didn't look terrible, but I wouldn't wear it if I could choose. But when I was staring at myself in the mirror, I noticed a red and blue streak in my hair that wasn't there before. Must be from being owned by Vox.

Then Vox took me to Valentino's room and gave me a gun from his closet to put in the diamond encrusted holster Velvette gave me, and of course the pistol matched the holster. 


....


The whole day I just stood by the door of Vox's office, doing nothing. I was bored out of my mind, and Vox didn't even talk to me. If he did, it was yelling at me for sitting on the floor. 

When he finally let me go back to the hotel, I waited for Angel by the front entrance. 

I was startled to see him with a black eye once he came into sight. I ran over to him, and put a hand to his cheek gently.

"Is this the kind of abuse Charlie was talking about?" I asked, gently rubbing my thumb under his eye.

He pulled away from me. "It's nothing... How about we go out for drinks?"


....


"That looks bad Angel," He had already told me he was used to it, but I still couldn't stand seeing him hurt. 

"I'm fine, Marie. Let it go." He took his shot of whiskey, said he needed something strong after today. I could tell he needed it. 

"Do you think we'll make it to Heaven? I'm still not feeling great after what Charlie said, she seemed so angry about it..." Angel said, looked into his empty shot glass. 

I put my hand on his arm. "We'll get there..."
