"Remember, you need focus and discipline. You control it, not it controls you." Sera interrupts.

"I'm trying! It's just...it won't work!" I complain, groaning as I plop down next to Emily on the couch.

Sera has been training me for the past few days, so far? Absolutely nothing is working. These so called 'powers' are sh*t.

"Don't worry Y/N, practice is all you need!" Emily rests a hand on my shoulder.

"Yesss! Emily is correct!" Pentious stayed and watched me train too, both have become very close good friends of mine.

"It would be so much easier if Adam was here, he could be helping you instead of myself." Sera rubs her temples as she sighs, "Let's try something else."

I stand and head back to the middle of the large field we practiced in. "I want you to think of someone important. Parents, Friends, Lover if you had one, just someone of value to you. I want to imagine white and gold hues of light." Sera explains and I close my eyes picturing the people who were in my life.

Mom, Dad, F/N, Elijah, Mia, Penny, well later on I learned her name was Lute who was Adam's first hand. Nothing.

'Who else, why didn't I have more friends?'

Mr. Francois, Chris, Alastor.

Alastor...

Emily's small squeal breaks me out of focus, "Y/N! Y/N! You did it!"

"What?" I look around, then at myself, "Nothings going on." I frown, "Emily, I swear if you're joking."

"No, no, no. Emily's right, you were glowing Misss Y/N!" Pentious speaks up.

"I was...glowing?" You turn to Sera and she nods.

"Indeed, who were you thinking about because that was simply beautiful Y/N!" Sera grabs your hands. "You don't have to say but now we know that your emotions were strong enough to channel them! And they were positive! We're a step closer!"

"I think we should celebrate, don't you think?" Emily jumps.

"Of course Emily, but all three of us have a court meeting with Charlie again to discuss Pentious' rehabilitation and this one is Y/Ns first. Let's all head over there." Sera explains as we all follow behind.

"I get to sseee my friendss again?" Pentious tears up and I nudge him a little.

"Won't it be exciting," Turning to Sera I continue, "but why am I going to be there?"

"You are a witness of sort. And with Adam gone we need a new member of council in the meantime before you have to fall. Unless we can convince the others you can stay. Which is also what the meeting will be about. Speaking of meeting we're here, Charlie is already waiting inside so let's hurry. Y/N you will be standing a little next to them, with Pentious."

The older Seraphim shoves us all inside the courtroom, "Apologies for our lateness." She turns to the snake and I before pointing where we will stand before taking off to the highest balcony with Emily in tow, waving excitedly.

"Today we are discussing the recent and first rehabilitation of a sinner from hell by use of the Hazbin Hotel. We have all staff of said hotel here with us. Princess Charlie, Vaggie, Angel Dust, Husker, Niffty, and last but not least Alastor the Radio Demon. Not only will we be discussing this recent rehabilitation we will be deciding where to place one of our souls." Sera addresses the court meeting eye contact with me she continues but I've tuned her out.

"Pen I can't do this anymore." I'm freezing.

"What? Misss Y/N?" He whispers.

"I uh, never told you but um. I have a backstory with...Alastor. He's the reason I'm supposed to be in hell right now. I can't walk up there." I'm rambling at this point. Stupid.

"Misss Y/N. Ignore him. Perhapsss he won't recognize you?" Pentious tries to reason and comfort as I take a deep breath.

"You're right. Okay. Let's do this. I can do this." I grab his hand and get ready. Sera is still talking.

"Now, everyone I'd like to introduce you to Sir Pentious."

"And Y/N L/N."

'Deep breaths Y/N. Let's get this show on the road.'
