Emily's Fall 2: Rising Above

Ch. 47: Happy Endings

Emily smiled as she sat at the new bar of the hotel.

"Damn, this place is great!" Emily said, "It's so... modern and pristine!"

Husk filled a glass with whiskey and slid it to Emily.

"First drink of a new hotel, I feel honored." Emily said, dowing the drink, before eating the glass, "Ah, everything is just... right."

Emily's eyes moved to the picture of Sir Pentious.

"Well... almost perfect." She said with a bittersweet smile.

Husk gazed at the picture too before smiling sadly.

"Yeah, things won't be the same without that crazy snake. He was a good guy deep down and he proved it in the end." Husk said, raising a bottle. "To Sir Pentious."

"To Sir Pentious." Emily said, raising her glass.

Both of them clinked their drinks before drinking, right as the door was opened. Causing Husk to take a spit take.

"Emily... don't turn around." Husk said slwoly.

Emily, never being one to listen, turned around.

"What could possibly be... so... YOU." Emily said as she literally growled, "What are you doing here?"

Sera stood there, looking at Emily. At the pure anger in her eyes.

As for Sera, she had nothing but sorrow and regret in her own eyes. Seeing how much her sister had changed in the last five years. Her hair, her clothes, even her eyes were nothing like how she used to see them.

'Press on. Now is your chance to repair our bond.' Sera thought.

"Hello, Em-"

Sera was cut off as she had to dodge one of Emily's fireballs.

"SHUT UP!" Emily yelled, emotions long thought buried coming back, "I have been here for five years... FIVE YEARS... and you never once thought come down and see me!? You cast me out, you sent me to hell for trying to see the best in everyone!"

"Emily, I-"

"Shut... the fuck... UP!" Emily yelled.

Sera took a step back, not expecting such language from Emily. Emily didn't stop.

"You holier than thou whore, you come down, for what? To see if I survived the extermination?" Emily asked, "The same thing that you allowed for who knows how fucking long!? I'm not some little kid that needs you to hold my hand, I'm the goddamn princess of hell, I don't need you anymore! Leave my hotel and never come back or else I will kill you... I've done it before and I'll gladly do it to anyone that messes with my or my family!" She shouged, standing up from the bar.

Emily put a cigarette between her lips, grabbed a full bottle of vodka from the bar, and turned to Sera.

"Go back to heaven you feathery cunt!" Emily said, while giving Sera the middle finger, "You're lucky I'm even being this civil!"

Emily stormed to her office and slammed the door behind her. Sera could only blink at Emily's outburst. Husk simply chuckled as he cleaned the glasses.

"Yeah, that's to be expected." He said, "So, need a bartender to talk to?"

(Line break)

In the office, Emily had practically burned through the cigarette already. She put vodka in her new mug. A gift from Charlie, it was white and said Holy Hell... it was made from ashes of the exorcists. She drank it quickly and tried to fill it again, but her hands started shaking. She put the bottle and mug on her desk and held her head. Tears started spilling and she fell against the wall and slid to the floor.
