As I walk in to heaven, I'm blinded by a bright light. I guess I've forgotten how bright heaven is.

Instead of being greeted by St Peter, we are greeted by holy guards.

They grab Charlie's and my shoulders and say "You have been summoned to the holy court".

I roll my eyes and push there hands off me and say "We know. Why do you think we are here"?

The guards don't say anything but they do let me and Charlie walk without them putting their hands on us so I count that as a win.

We walk to their meeting center and it hasn't changed one bit since I was here last. It feels like deja vu walking through the halls.

We get to the court room and an angel with auburn hair greets us. She says "Charlotte Morningstar, would you and your guest please sit here".

Charlie nods and sits down but I study this angels face until in finally clicks. I say "Nora? Is that you"?

Nora turns around, obviously surprised I know her name. She studies my face and shakily says "Grace?"

I mockingly bow and say "In the flesh".

Nora visibly goes pale as if she's seen a ghost. She looks up and down. She looks at my ears and says "You look different".

I shrug and say "Yeah, being casted down in to Hell would kind of change a person. Don't you think"?

Nora looks stunned but quickly recover self and says "You know you're not supposed to be here. right"?

I laugh out loud and answer her "I wasn't planning on coming here but I knew how corrupted this place has become so I thought I'd help Charlie out a bit".

Nora stares me down and says "The only thing that is corrupt here is you".

I stare right back at her with a smile and say "That may be true but, you also know a thing or two about corrupting souls too, especially the innocent ones".

For a second I see the fear in Nora's eyes but she quickly covers it up and says "I don't know what you're talking about".

I giggle and say "We'll see how long you'll stick with that story".

With that, Nora flies up to her seat above. Charlie looks over at me with a confused look and asks "What was that about".

I shrug and say "We used to be friends, that's all".

Then Sera flies in a takes her seat in front of us. She raises her hands to calm to crowd and says "Princess Morningstar you are here to answer for your war crimes against heaven".

Charlie stands up and says "War crimes? You guys attacked us first. We were just defending ourselves".

Sera shakes her head and says "We were thinning out your population so Hell won't be crowded. If anything you should thank us".

Charlie is getting very heated so I put a hand on her shoulder and stand up and I say "If I may, I would like to speak".

Sera studies my face a moment and gasps. She yells "Grace?! How did you get here"?

I keep my expression very calm and say "The magical portal".

Sera rolls her eyes and says "Grace, you were banished to Hell. You're not supposed to be here".

The guards take hold of me but I put my hands up and say "I assure you, I have no intentions in hurting anyone here. I'm just here to help justify Hells action in the last extermination".
