A light and a void ( Lute x sinner reader)

Part 22: Lucifers visit

Y/n's pov:

I grudged as i woke up from my slumber, the merciessly shinning light from the pentagram star shone threw the (c/c) curtains and stung my face, rudely walking me up.

Shit...Fuck mornings....

Groaning, i tried to cover my face with my pillow but it was too late, i was fully awake..... The twitters and bubbling growls of the hybrid brids reached my ears, i could hear them fly freely near the hotel district. As my vision cleared i sat up from the soft matress and streached my arms before i rolled out of my comfy habitat and onto the hard, wooden, floor and glanced at the clock above my bathroom door. It was almost noon, might aswell get something to eat, i could really use a little (favorite drink)

I cleaned myself up quickly, put on my clothes and strolled out of my hotel room, still feeling dizzy from the rude awakening. My heels cleaked and echoed threw the halls all together.

That's when it hit me, River!

Oh yes! They would soon arrive at the hotel later today, the bare thought of being able to live under the same roof as them again made a grin appear on my cheeks. It almost made me tear up all over again, i mean, for years i was convinced that they were long dead. I chuckle at the thought, ever since i stepped on the hotels doorstep my afterlife has just had good turns.

The screeching sound of paper getting ripped and torn apart woke me up from my daydreaming and i realised that i was already at the end of the stairs , only to stop midsentence upon what i saw next.

In the hotel lounge Charlie was standing there in full glory, her red coat off , with a whole fucking planning wall, with papers, strings, everything all while mumbling to herself with silent panic laced in her voice. I predicted that it mjust be involving the hotel . All the other residents stood behind the couches, just staring at the scene, all disturbed by her behavior as the princess choose to ignore them all.

As i walked up the group, Angel was the first to notice my prestence. I gave him a questioning look as i pointed my thumb at Charlie, He just hummed while shrugging with all his four arms, clearly not aware what's going on either.

Just then Lucy noticed me, she turned her head towards me, her golden eyes shimmering in the dimming sunlight her eyebrows rose but she didn't utter a word at me, she just nodded. My knees weak, i could feel heat raise up to my cheeks as she keeps staring at me intensly, leaving me petrified.

But i snapped back as Vaggie's voice cut the bizarre tension.
" Charlie, sweetie? You good?"

Charlie suddenly snapped her head towards us, her golden eyes now shot blodred from all the visable stress
" Nope, no! Not really! I've been up all night trying to figure out why the hotel isn't working!"
She roared at the end of the sentence, gritting her teeth, clutching a paper with her fist
" We've done trust fall! We've tried sharing our feelings!"

I could feel the ground shake below me while Charlie's demonic features started to appear, the anxiety bottling up her anger
" We've only have a couple of months left before the angels come-!"
Her horns sprung out as she laughed maniatic

As i was processing everything she just said i let out a heavy sigh, Charlie did have a point. Even though ALMOST everyone in the hotel had improved of their actions and behaviors that still wasn't enough to prove to the leader of Heaven that redemption is possible. It's not like silly little games and exorcises could automatiectly give us acess to the pearly gates.

If i ever want to reunite with my family, we had to take the next step.

" Maybe it's time-"
Vaggie began as she rubbed her arm, but Charlie cut her off, her red eyes widen in fear
" No!"
