Tossing off her covers, Charlie's morning was off to a...well terrible start, she had a killer headache and just felt ucky. She didnt want to get out of bed but knew that sinners weren't going to redeem themselves. She sat up on the side of her bed and held a hand to her head with a soft groan, it felt like someone was trying to drive a iron rail spike through her head right now.
"You ok babe?" Vaggie asked as she rolled over to face her, still down on the bed under the covers, having heard Charlie's groan it made her a little curious.
"Mm..yeah im fine babe...just got a headache" she said as she got up and and made her way over to the dresser and her closet, grabbing her standard outfit for the day. Getting dressed she walked over to her mirror and combed her hair really quick and got ready for her day. She left the room and headed downstairs to the lobby like always, just at a slower pace then normal. She got down to the lobby and took note of Alastor sitting in his chair reading a book as he enjoyed his morning cup of tea. He looked up at Charlie and nodded his head at her.
"Morning Charlie" he said before noticing that she didn't reply, he watched as she was more slouched instead of standing up straight, her bright and cheery smile was gone replaced with a grimace look on her face as she held a hand to her head.
"Charlie dear, is everything alright" he asked as he sat his book down on his lap.
"Huh?...oh..yes, sorry Al. Just have a bad headache" she said as she shuffled over and sat down on the couch, slouching over and putting her hand down into her hands, covering her eyes trying to block any sort of light from entering at all.
"Why dont you go up and get some rest Charlie, take the day off" he offered as he looked at her with a bit of empathy.
"But I have a hotel to run" she mumbled out while not even looking up.
"My dear. How far do you think your going to make it at this rate?" Alastor asked with a hum.
"We live in hell. Suffering is just part of life down here" she said as she finally lifted her head up and smiled softly.
"But thanks for your concern Al" she said before getting up from the couch and making her way towards the kitchen to get something to drink. Perhaps something strong to wake her up would help with the headache she thought. Reaching up into one of the cabinets in the kitchen she pulled down her mug before moving over to the coffee pot and pouring herself a cup. She mosied her way back into the lobby holding the steaming cup before sitting back down on the couch. Bringing the cup up to her mouth she took a sip of it before swallowing and down, a few moments later her cup was already empty, as she now laid down on the couch with a cushion over her head stopping all the light from coming in, the coffee had only amplified the problem, it had awakened her previously dulled senses and now her head was absolutely killing her, to the point where she could feel her heart beat in her head, each thump felt like a hammer banging off her head. She let out a soft pain filled groan as she felt someone lean down beside her.
"Whats wrong Appleseed?" Came her father's voice.
"Headache" she mumbled out, just the single word as even that hurt to say.
"Alright...well just try and take it easy sweetie, but if this continues then you are going to bed and resting" he said as she felt his hand grab onto hers.
"Bed...please.." She said softly again.
"You wanna go up to bed and rest now?" He asked, and felt as she squeezed his hand once for a yes.
"Alright sweetie, we'll get you to bed" he said motioning for Alastor to give him a hand with it. Thanks to Alastors help, they got Charlie back up to her room and in her bed, Getting Vaggie to help change Charler back into her night gown.
"Thanks for the help Al...Hopefully she gets better soon"
"Perhaps its just a migraine? Rosie gets one every now and then" Alastor offered trying to help.
"Yeah...maybe, shes had a few in the past. If thats the case we should know by tomorrow morning, or maybe even this afternoon" he said as he walked beside Alastor down the hallway.
The rest of the day went rather smoothly, well until dinner at least. They was all sitting down at the table but Angel noticed that Vaggie wasn't looking the hottest.
"You good over there moth?" Angel asked as he looked at his friend, she was hardly eating her food and was holding a hand up to her head.
"Nngggg..." She muttered out some
"Dont tell me your getting the same thing Charlie has" Husker said now as everyone looked up at her.
"No no...really guys im fine, just worried about Charlie is all" she said as her headache really wasn't that bad, but it was there.
"Im not sure, if Charlie is sick, you being the next one to show signs makes sense, you both literally share a bed" Pentious said as he chimed in now.
"Alright everyone...there's no need to start a panic about this, just finish your meals and if something happens we will deal with it when it comes" Alastor said now as he wiped his mouth some. This seemed to work as they nodded before finishing dinner, though they didnt hang out in the lobby as much as normal, pentious retreated to his room right after dinner. And Angel and husker wasn't far behind him, at least finishing a show on TV first, Vaggie had gone back to her room as well to check on Charlie. Alastor and Lucifer remained on the couch as Lucifer sighed.
"What if it is a virus or something going around?" He asked as he looked over at Alastor.
"Then we will deal with it my king, even if we took precautions and medication, the virus is still going to hit who it wants, All we can do is wait, and help the ones it does effect to the best of our abilities" Alastor said as he's dealt with a fair share of sickness back in his days, being in the woods and swamps of new orleans, a virus was waiting around every corner, so this wasn't anything knew to him.
Morning came rather quickly for the hotel and Alastor resided down in the lobby sitting in his chair like normal. He looked up from his paper and over at the clock on the wall.
"Strange" he said as he noticed the time.
"Someone should've been here by now" he said to himself, he waited a few more minutes before setting his paper down on the side and standing up holding his mug, he walked across the lobby and made his way to the elevator before hitting the button for the 3rd floor and going up to Charlie and Vaggies room, stepping off the elevator he made his way down the hallway before stopping and knocking on their door.
"Charlie, Vaggie" he called out to them, not getting a response the first time he knocked again.
"Im opening the door now" he said as he grabbed the handle and opened it, poking his head inside he looked over at the bed and saw them both still under the covers.
"Girls?" He asked as he walked in and made his way over. Taking note of how sweaty Charlie was, her face was flushed with a fever and she shivered while she held the blanket tighter around her.
"Oh dear" Al said as he looked over at Vaggie who wasn't much better.
"Alright...girls, I will return later. Im going to go and check on the others" Alastor made his way around the hotel checking on the other members and his fears where confirmed as he found the rest of them to either be sick or showing signs of it, even Lucifer himself was wrapped up in the blankets.
"Oh no" he said as he moved over and put a hand on the kings head.
"How are you feeling sire" he asked as he could feel the heat radiating through him, though he only got mumbles in response.
"Looks like I got a staff to treat for the day" he said to himself before getting the supplies. He returned to Charlie and Vaggies room first as they had it the worst at the moment. He set his little bin of water down and dipped a rag into it, he ringed it out before putting it down on Charlie's forehead, watching as she recoiled a little from the cold water.
"I know dear...but you have a fever already" He said as he held the rag on her forehead, watching as she nodded a little at this, moving to the other side of the bed he repeated the process on Vaggie, though watched as she welcomed the touch of the rag, her body felt like it was on fire and the cool rag was a welcoming change as she let out a little sigh of relief.
"There you go" he said as she gave a weak little smile at him.
"Th...thanks..Al" she mumbled out before coughing some. Al would've given them both some medicine but he wasn't a doctor, he didnt know what they had and was worried the wrong medicine could make it worse.
"Alright girls...Im going to check on the others, but I will bring skme food up later when I come back" he said with his smile before he left the room.
Heading towards Angels room next, opening the door and walking in, he saw the pornstar on the bed with his blankets tossed off in the floor.
"How are you feeling Angel" Alastor asked as he sat the new bin down on the stand, repeating the process as he just did.
"Like...everyone did me...twice" he wheezed out as he held a hand on his chest. Showing little different signs then the girls, he ran the fever as them but instead of a headache he was having breathing issues. His breaths coming out in short wheezes. Alastor gave him a cold rag on the forehead and moved to the bathroom and opened the cabinets as he looked around.
"Surely you have some in here" he said to himself as he looked around before finding it.
"Ah-ha" he said as he grabbed the tub of vapor rub. He walked back over to Angel who was looking at him.
"H..howd..you know...I had that" he wheezed some.
"The amount of powder you snort up that nose, how can you not have congestion issues" Alastor said as he recalled some of his days on earth, he's heard of people using vapor rub to help clean their airways. He set the tub down in the stand within his reach.
"Though you can put it in yourself, im not gonna rub your chest for you" Alastor said as he heard a laugh that turned into a cough.
"Onto the next person"
He said as he returned back to the kings room.
"And how are you feeling sire" he asked as he never got a answer earlier, just coughing.
"Li..like crap" he replied as Alastor just let out a little hum as he waved his hand making his things appear.
"Well let's just see if we cant help eith that" he said as he started to do his thing.
"Do..dont..act like..your not enjoying..this" Lucifer mumbled out tiredly.
"What are you referring to my king?" Alastor asked as he tilted his head.
"Se...seeing us..all so helpless..and suffering" he mumbled out.
"Hmmm...one must admit that there is a bit of enjoyment there" he said with a little laugh before putting the rag on the kings forehead.
"Much to your surprise...I do care for the staff here though" he said as he continued before finishing up with Lucifer. Alastor spent his day going to the rooms, treating the staff eith the knowledge he had, he wasn't quite sure what the sickness was but stuck with the basics, the cool rag of water and light meals to try and get them to eat something. He still remembered his mother's recipe for some stew that always seemed to help him. It was a long day for him, roaming the halls and going to all the different rooms and checking on everyone and tending to them. Walking up to Lucifers door he knocked on it in the morning and was a little surprised when the king opened the door.
"Hey Al" he said with a smile now.
"Oh..your already feeling better?" He asked now as Lucifer nodded.
"Im..not 100% but im a lot better then yesterday thanks to your help" he said with a smile, Alastor nodded at this and quickly moved to check on the others finding similar results. Later that night everyone had recovered almost entirely, they stuck with some stew that Al had made, keeping the meals light for the moment, by morning Alastor woke up himself with a soft little groan and put a hand to his head.
"Great" he mumbled out, he didnt even bother getting out of bed and just pulled his covers back up, about an hour later he heard his door open with a knock and saw Charlie pop her head in.
"You good Al?" She asked only to see him still wrapped up in his blanket, which was unusual, Al was a very strict to the routine kinda guy. Making her way in she took note of his flushed face.
"You got sick taking care of us..didnt you Al" she asked as she leaned down and put a hand on his shoulder, watching as he nodded his head some.
"Dont worry Al...you took care of us...now its our turn to return the favor" she said with a smile.
