The Human in Hell (new version)

Owls (short)

A/N: I will get to all the shorts ideas I listed. It was a close call between this and the Loona short, but this won by one vote.

Thanks to Renowned-Wolf for helping with a couple things.

Scene opens on you approaching Andrealphus' castle to pick up Octavia from her weekend with her mother and uncle. Your spear is slung over your back.

Y/N: Brace yourself, Y/N. From everything Stolas has told you, Via's mom and uncle are two of the most unpleasant individuals in all of Hell.

You knock heavily on the door.

Andrealphus: (off-screen; muffled) Oh, bloody hell! Who is knocking at this sinful hour?!

You check your phone's time.

Y/N: (muttering) It's 9:00 AM, dude. Most people are up and caffeinated by now.

The door flies open, showing Andrealphus is slightly taller than you.

Andrealphus: What?! 

He takes in your whole appearance and double-takes.

Y/N: Uh...hi. Sorry to disturb you, but I'm Via's friend Y/N. Stolas said she was staying with you and her mother this weekend.

Andrealphus plasters on a smile that looks noticeably strained.

Andrealphus: Oh, yes, She's talked about you quite a bit. Follow me, please.

He leads you further into his mansion and calls up the stairs.

Andrealphus: Via, your friend is here!

Octavia: I'll be down in a few minutes!

He leads you into the living room, where Stella is drinking Tea, barely acknowledging your presence with a glance in your direction.

Andrealphus: (forced politeness) Stella, dear, we have an important guest.

Stella: Right, right. (loudly sips Tea) Who are you again?

Y/N: It's Y/N, Ma'am.

Stella: It's "Lady Stella" to you.

Andrealphus: (forced laughter) Stella, Y/N here is the former human. You know, (whispers to her) the one that killed Adam.

Stella: Oh, this is the human turned Fallen Angel? Guess being killed by Adam led to something good in your formerly meaningless life, right? Ahaha!

Andrealphus: O_O

Y/N: (similar to Alastra) Ha ha ha. It was actually his lieutenant that killed me.

Stella: Hahaha! Well, it was still almost for nothing!

Y/N: Ha HA! Fuck you.

The two of you grin nastily at each other as you fiddle with your amulet.

Andrealphus: (awkwardly) Would you like anything to drink while we wait, Y/N?

Y/N: Coffee would be great, if you've got it.

You sit as far away from Stella as possible as Andrealphus shoves a servant that walked out of the kitchen back through the door and points at the coffee-maker. 

The two of them then eye the amulet that Stolas gave you.

Andrealphus: (eyes gleaming) What is the story behind that, if you don't mind my asking?
