Helluva Boss

Hell's Belles (Short)

An excited Millie paced back and forth at a bus stop in the Pride Ring. An advertisement on the side of the bench showed a smiling posing Verosika Mayday with "Verosika Pride Tour" in pink and white on the bottom. Millie wore her usual torn long black pants and shirt, her hair messy and black, her face red and eyes yellow. Her horns were black with thin white stripes on them. With a smile, she got out her red cell phone, noticing the time: 11:59. Her phone background showed her husband Moxxie getting an affectionate punch to the head from her father Joe. The time moved to 12:00 and she squealed with glee, pacing faster.

Millie pulled out her phone again just as a red bus pulled to a stop. An elderly grumpy female imp with curly thick black horns was the driver. The rearview mirrors had black pentagrams on them. On the screen sign on the top surrounded by twenty-eight sharp teeth read "WRATH," the Ring where Millie and her family lived.

The double doors opened, and Millie squealed again, racing forward. Millie closed her eyes and hugged another imp.

"Mils, over here!" called a familiar voice.
Millie then paused in embarrassment and looked up. She screamed and flinched back from a white-haired teenage imp male wearing a lime green t-shirt, a red backpack, torn black pants and a pair of red headphones. He had a spiky red and white pointed tail. "Get off of me!" Millie yelled, shoving the imp backwards. She then spotted her sister, Sallie May and they both embraced.

Sallie May was Millie's transgender sister. She had male imp horns, black and white stripes and had a masculine voice. She wore a short black crop top, a belt, torn short white shorts and long torn black pants underneath. On her feet were white boots and in her hand was a worn brown suitcase. She wore a red bandana with holes in it, and her hair was pulled into a thick black messy ponytail with a white spot at the top. On her red face, a white scar was over her right eye with thick eyelashes.

They "awed" in delight and briefly spun around in their hug.

"You finally made it out!" Millie exclaimed as the bus drove away. "After I asked you like a billion times."

"Lucky for you, a billion and one was the sweet spot to visit this trash heap," Sallie May replied. They looked around the city and spotted an "Impoo" nail store and an advertisement sign showing Loopty Goopty and Lyle Lipton reading "Injured? Good."

"You ain't even been here before!" Millie countered. She tugged on her sister's arm. "Come on! I got the whole day planned out!"

Sallie May let out an exaggerated sigh. "Wow, the whole day?!" She ran to catch up with Millie. "You ain't gotta run off with your princess to off some Earth fella?" They stopped at a crosswalk.

"Nah. Business has been slow lately, so..." she bowed slightly, "...boys say they have it covered."

"Damn, ain't I special?" Sallie May folded her arms behind her head. The "don't walk" red stop hand had three claws. She looked around. "Where do we start?"

Millie leaned in and reeled back in disgust at her sister's stinky scent. "Well, uh...start with a day spa and some shoppin.' No offence, Sal, but you smell like hog ass."

"I do not, Miss Probably Bathes Irregular!" She then sniffed herself and wrinkled her nose. "Oh. Wait. No, no, yep, you're right. That's-that's definitely hog ass."

"Come on! Let's tear this town to shreds!" Millie grinned with sharp teeth, swinging a fist. Sallie May did the same as she raced after Millie. "Yee-fucking haw!"

They first went to a pink building with a diamond pattern in the window and the name in fancy purple font: "BATHORY'S DAY SPA." It was named after Elizabeth Bathory, a noblewoman who killed and tortured many women and girls on Earth. Legend said that she bathed in the blood of her victims to retain her youth. Three white candles with purple flames served as a decoration at the front of the building.
