The Prince Of Hell

Chapter 13

As Alastor and Husk headed to the grocery store, they noticed the limo and groceries in the back seat, still fresh. Alastor had a sense something happened to them.

"Where could they be?" Husk asked suspiciously.

"Hmm, I have a hunch that something happened. We better drive the limo back before the groceries expire in the heat. I can't sense Max and Angel's presence around here." Alastor suggests as he gets in the driver seat.

Husk hesitates as he had a feeling that he kinda figure out where they were, before he got in the limo before they drove back to the hotel.

Later...

"They weren't around?" Vaggie asked with concern.

"Nope. The limo and the groceries were still there." Alastor says with concern.

"I think I know someone who had something to do with their disappearance." Husk says.

"Who?" Charlie asked.

"I heard the news that Valentino's porn studio has been burnt down by a shootout for some reason. A group that knows how to make sinners lustful. And Angel was being paranoid for some reason yesterday that Val was angry at him for leaving early from his appointed porn shooting." Husk explained.

"How would you know?" Vaggie asked.

"You know I can read Angel like a book." Husk says.

"Then, I should pay Val a visit." Charlie says as her demon form started to appear as her anger started to erupt as she was worried about Max.

"Now, now Charlie. Let us at least come with you so he won't hurt you." Alastor suggested with a smirk.

"I just want to... make sure Max won't be hurt. I shouldn't have trusted Angel if he is this irresponsible for not protecting Max and appease to that pervert, Val." Charlie says as she keeps switching to her demon, and normal form back, and forth by her emotions.

"Charlie." Vaggie says with concern.

"I'm worried that Max will get hurt." Charlie says she immediately leaves the hotel.

Hours passed...

Max moaned as he was tossing and turning as he was fighting through one of his usual nightmares in his sleep. He opened his eyes instantly as he sat up and noticed that he was resting on an unfamiliar bed.

"Sleep well?" Verosika asked as she came from a corner.

"Verosika?" Max asked shyly.

"That's right sweetie. Don't worry, I won't hurt you since I saved you from that situation." She says as she wipes the ash from his face.

"Well thanks. Can you take me home?" Max asked.

"I'm afraid not. Charlie put you in danger with that careless, freeloading, self-centered porn star." Verosika says with a disappointed look.

"That is not true. Angel is my friend. And I love helping my new mom with her hotel." Max explains.

"Then why is she making you pretend to be a sinner and wear makeup on your beautiful face?" Verosika asked as she sat next to him.

  "Just for my protection since she kept saying that many sinners here will hurt, or take advantage of me, and saying that heaven won't be happy if they find out that I'm not dead yet or something like that." Max explains.

"Sounds like she's too paranoid. Why don't you just be yourself in public? Honestly most sinners don't really care about that." Verosika explains as she rolls her eyes.
