The Prince Of Hell

Chapter 20

   The next morning, Charlie was making Max's favorite breakfast to cheer him up after the horrible day he had endured yesterday.

"Is he up yet?" She asked Vaggie.

"No, not yet. You want me to go get him?" She suggested as she finished setting up the table.

"Yeah, he couldn't say no to your special french toast, Charlie." Angel jokes.

   Vaggie headed upstairs to go get Max. She heard his sobbing from his bedroom. After what Judy said to him that she never wanted him in the first place, especially calling him an accident.

"Max?" She says with concern.

   She saw him under his covers, upset and immediately went to talk to him, and asked, "You want to talk about it?"

"My mom never wanted me in the first place just because I was an accident to her. And she has been mentally tormenting me all this time while living inside me, just to avoid being registered as a sinner." Max explains while upset.

"Don't listen to her Max. I'm angry about what she did to you all this time. She never sees how amazing you are. She never understands that you are an amazing gift to have. You understand?" Vaggie asked.

   Max stopped crying, but didn't say anything except nodding yes. She wipes his tears away for him.

"She won't hurt you anymore. She won't ever do that to you again since law enforcement are searching for her. Even though she was your mother, she doesn't deserve you. You have Charlie, me, and everyone in this hotel is your real family. You understand that you are my son now?" She asked while explaining.

"Yes." Max says as he finally calms down.

"Good. Charlie made her special french toast for you." Vaggie says as she takes his hand, and they head downstairs for breakfast.

   Max stayed silent as he ate from his plate. He was still trying to endure being kidnapped by Stella, and was able to escape from her. And his biological mother was the reason for his PTSD conditions, and his uncontrollable strength to fight higher demons.

   Ever since Judy left his body, he wasn't experiencing any nightmares while asleep in his own bedroom. No PTSD illusions or anything that upsets him, and aggressive strength. He stills feel heartbroken by his mother's betrayal, however he still loved his biological mother regardless of her negligence, and the child abuse he endured.

"You sound quiet." Angel says.

"I'm alright." Max says as he tries to smile.

"Well Max, we do have an appointment set up for you to see a therapist. She is a good friend of mine, and will help you out on what you are going through." Alastor says with a smirk.

"I'm fine, I don't need to go." Max says.

"Kid, you have been making us worry ever since you have been mentally tormented, and not to mention that you beat down an overlord, and a Karen Goetia, which I'm impressed with, but we don't want you to go down the wrong path." Husk explains.

"Don't take this as a punishment Max, it's an activity to help you open up, and be a happy loving child because you deserve to be one." Charlie says as she hugs him from behind.

   Max wasn't sure about the idea, but he decided to agree with it since they are helping him move on. And Vaggie decided to chaperone him during the session with the Psychiatrist.

Meanwhile...

   Stella was sitting in a jail cell while awaiting her trial. She was angry that she wasn't allowed to have bond and that she couldn't leave the jail until the trial. She was waiting for Striker to arrive during visitation hours since she has plans on getting revenge on Max for making her like a fool in Hell. Her reputation was horrible when individuals in the lower class knew Max beat the living crap out of her before throwing her out the window. And since she knows that he is going to testify against her, and she has a plan to keep him from doing that.
