Hazbin Hotel: Scraps of an Angel

All At Once

After what seemed like hours, Viola looked up to see no one else in courtroom. She briefly shifted her view to where the portal Adam opened was before it disappeared. She then made her way outside the courtroom and wiped her eyes while tears still fell. But this time she had no one to comfort her... The exorcist looked down at the tears on her glove, "...Still seriously annoying." She looked around the hallway before flexing her black wings.

Viola flies back to the barracks, quickly walking passed Lute's room since she didn't want to see her crying. She wiped her face when she got to her room and slumped her shoulders. The black winged angel walked to her bed and slipped under the covers. She shifted to her side and covered one half of her face with the pillow, trying to stop her tears. Once the white haired angel stopped her tears, she ended up falling asleep... Only to dream of herself standing on top of a pile of dead sinners, looking down at Emily below... The sight of her girlfriend's face and hearing her say the words, "Why did you lie to me?" forced Viola to wake herself up. Her heart beat fast and her eyes widened. She put a hand on the locket that was still around her neck while trying to calm down, "I... I can't... I..."

The exorcist felt tears prick her eyes again before she laid back down on her bed aggressively. She tossed and turned in her bed, trying to go to sleep again while breathing quickly...

...

On the night of the court date, Emily didn't say another word to Sera or Viola. She quickly flew to her room and got ready for bed like she normally does... All things considered. She wiped her eyes upon laying under the soft blanket, the same one she let Viola use when she slept in her room. She frowned at the memory before wrapping herself into it.

The Seraphim laid her head down on her pillow and tried to fall asleep. But when she dreamt, she saw visions of sinners dying at the hands of exorcists. Lute stabbing one and simply throwing the body to add to the pile accumulating in front of her. Many others were killing sinners, red blood splattered everywhere. On top of the pile of sinners was an exorcist taking off her helmet; revealing Viola with a glare on her face.

The blue angel suddenly jumped up in her bed, her heart beating faster than ever before. She put a hand on her chest to try and control her breathing before turning her head. She looked at her pillow before picking it up. She looked through the cover before pulling out the black feather with a frown... The same black feather Viola gave her to protect her from nightmares a long time ago, "Oh... Viola..."

Emily put the feather back in the pillow case before laying back down, trying to get a good night's sleep while tossing and turning...

...

Every day for Viola and Emily was the same routine, get up in the morning, be quiet if around each other or really anyone, do their work, etc... This routine went on for such a long time... Though, Viola would still wear the locket Emily gave her...

Nearly a month later, unfortunately, Viola kept her distance from the seraphim. She was quickly removed from being her bodyguard by Sera, though still caught herself looking at her whenever she saw her. The exorcist noticed that Emily was quiet to everyone, looking sad... Fake smiles while keeping up the joy for the people of Heaven. Sometimes... She would want to go over and talk to her, hug her, anything to comfort her girlfriend. But she remembered that look Emily gave her in the courtroom, when she was pleading with her to tell her truth. Though Viola still wanted to give the Seraphim her privacy, so she thought of a solution one day.

Viola leaned her back on the other side of the Seraphim's bedroom door, "Hey, Emily... So much is happening at the same time... And I know you don't want to see me right now. " She continued when she got no answer, "Or maybe that's an understatement... Considering you've been... Distant for almost a month now. But I want you to know that I'm still here, you know, if you ever want to talk about it. Or anything else!"
