I walk out of the pharmacy, heading back toward the hotel when a child bumps into me, falling to the ground. she's no older then five.
I look down at her, her bright pink eyes laced with fear.
"What are you doing out here by yourself-? Where's your mother?"
I crouch down to her level.
She's got black hair and light pink skin with black horns that resemble a heart shape on the top of her head.
"My mommy won't wake up.."
"Huh-?"
"She fell and she won't wake up!" She cries...shit.
"Hey, why don't you take me to her, yeah?"
She sniffles, and I offer her a hand.
As she stands she looks over toward an alley before bringing me to it.
The body of a woman that just looks like an older version of her is layed out on the ground, I can see blood from here.
I stop the young girl.
"Can you close your eyes for me? And stay right here?"
"But.."
"It's okay, I'm not going to leave you I promise."
She looks down before closing her eyes, and I walk toward the womans body.
She's foaming at the mouth.
Drug addict?
I check her pulse, and sure enough she's gone.
"Hey, does she ever have to give herself shots?"
"Uhm..y-yeah..she has me help her sometimes..c-can I open my eyes.."
"No, keep them closed."
I sigh.
Drug addict indeed.
Until she killed herself.
Leaving..the child.
"What's your name, dear?"
"Rosalina.."
"Oh? That's pretty," I stand up, and walk back toward her. "Why was it that she needed those shots?"
"She said..she was sick.."Okay..that makes things easier.
"How would you like to meet the princess of hell?"
She opens her eyes, wide and glowy. "Woah! Really?"
"Mhm, I'm Vox,"
"It's nice to meet you!..is my mommy okay.."
I look back at the woman, and then at her.
"I'm afraid not, her sickness won, unfortunately."The young girls excitement drains, and I offer her a hug.
Because what the hell else do you do in a scenario like that?
She hugs me and I just let her cry.
Once she's settled down, Ibrush her hair back.
"The offer to meet proncess charlies still on the table, if you want?"
She smiles through the tears, giggling a bit before jumps back into my arms.
"Yeah?"
She nods. "Yeah.."...
We walk into the hotel, her eyes big, she's probably frightened, I get it.
But we'll get her more comfortable.
I take her into the kitchen, where charlie and Adam are sitting, "where's Al?"
"He went to get me some files from his office, who's this?" Charlie responds, getting up and walking closer.
"This is rosalina. Uhm..I need you to watch her for a moment while I talk to Al."
"Oh? Okay!" She crouches down, "hi! I'm charlie!"
"Hi.." rosalina mumbles.
"Do you like to draw?"
"Yeah..!"
"Awesome! C'mon!"Charlie takes her to the lobby, and I head toward Als office.
"Al?"
He closes his office door with oapers in his hand.
"What's wrong?"
"So..long story..""What????" He questions.
"I didn't know what to do, she was alone and her mother was very much dead- and-"
"Slow down. You did the right thing..but did you get Lucifers medicine?"
"Right-! Yeah!" I pull it out of my pocket.
"Good. Charlie has the girl?"
"Mhm.."
"Go ahead with him, and we'll keep an eye on her for the time being."
"Okay.."
