Emily's Fall 2: Rising Above

Ch. 18: SURPRISE!

In the Hazbin Hotel, Velvette walked into her room and fell face first into her bed.

"UGH! Why must God test me so?! Haven't I suffered enough?" Velvette muttered into her pillow.

She glanced at the window, seeing that white "planet" in the sky above the city's giant pentagram.

'Ugh... that doesn't even look pleasant.' Velvette thought.

Seeing the glowing white "planet" in the sky, Velvette was reminded of her biggest mistake from five years ago.

Finding the head of the dead exorcists and suggest they attack heaven in a crazy war. If Emily was an example of what ALL high ranking angels could do, fallen or not, it would've just ended in a blood bath.

'Zestial was right, it was a stupid idea.' Velvette thought before she turned in bed, facing the other way.

"I think I'm gonna sleep off this lunch." Velvette muttered, slowly closing her eyes.

It was something she truly needed as eating sinner/hellborn flesh was really filling and can make a girl really sleepy.

With a heavy sigh, Velvette allowed slumber to take hold as she stretched her robotic hand to cut off the lights.

'Not bad. I could get used to these things faster than I thought.' Velvette thought as she pulled her arm back and set her to-go bag on her nightstand, leaving it alone for later as she slept.

-30 minutes later-

Cracking the door open, Emily looked in and saw Velvette sleeping soundly in bed.

'Okay, she looks okay.' Emily thought.

Emily had to check in Velvette after Razzle and Dazzle came to tell her about the lunch with Rosie, the cannibal overlord.

With that taken care of, she can head back to her office.

Her paperwork was done ahead of time for once and now Emily had a chance to schedule actual activities for Velvette to get to know everyone.

'The first step in redemption is friendship.' Emily thought, entering her office.

Emily sat at her desk and opened a drawer, inside was folders with plans and a box of expensive cigars that she was saving for a special occasion.

"It's been a while since I had one of you bad boys." Emily said, picking one up and closing the case.

She sniffed it longingly, sighing from the refined oder before biting off one end.

'Mmm, just as tasty as smoking it.' Emily thought as she ate the end she bit off before pulling out her lighter.

There was a knock on the door before she could light it.

"Ugh." She said, putting the cigar back in the case.

'Every time I want to relax, something comes up.' Emily thought as she walked to her office door.

She opened it, and there was a tiny toddler there to greet her.

"Auntie Em!" Lucy said with a smile.

"Lucy?!" Emily shouted in surprise as her niece hugged her legs.

"Hi, Em." Someone said.

And once again, Emily was surprised. Not just by her niece but by her sister's surprise visit!

"Charlie?!" Emily said as Charlie waved at her.

"Yeah, figured after the whole... thing... I could come by and see how you were doing." Charlie said delicatly.
