Hell was nothing like Abby had imagined. She expected screaming, agony, and pain everywhere. She thought it would be a land of horrendous deeds and hurt. It seemed to be the complete opposite. The moment she walked out the door she was greeted by loud, pounding music. It was hot and cramped. People and creatures surrounded her. They were jumping, screaming, and dancing to the beat. It was pretty much a giant nightclub out here. Someone tapped on Abby's shoulder.
"Hey! Do you know where the drinks are?" The girl had to practically yell in Abby's ear.
"No, sorry. I'm new here." Abby shrugged apologetically at the girl.
"You're new? Well, welcome to Hell! I'm Emu, what's your name?"
"I'm Abby."
"Hi Abby! Oh! You probably are super confused right now, follow me and I'll explain everything to you." Emu gestured for Abby to follow her, and she led Abby over to a corner behind a wall. "So, you probably thought Hell was going to be some horrible, dreadful place, right? Well, you're right...and wrong. There are many different sections of Hell. You can go to any one of them, but I wouldn't recommend it. Think of Hell as a very large town. There's the bad part of town, the good part of town, and the..um..let's say 'normal' part of town. Right now you are in the good part. This place has stores, dance clubs, and stuff like that. Also in this part are the upper class. Usually to become part of this class you have to do some really shady stuff." Abby nodded along with everything Emu said. "Now, the bad part of town is where all the horrible stuff happens. People get tortured there and stuff like that. Don't go there. I must tell you, though, bad stuff can happen anywhere at any time. Be careful." Emu seemed to be finished, so Abby took the chance to speak.
"Thanks for all that. It cleared up some stuff. I was wondering, though, why is Kirsten's office in the middle of a dance club? And why are you helping me? You went to Hell for a reason." Emu must have thought that was amusing because she smirked.
"First, I don't know why Kirsten does what she does. She's king of Hell and I'm not one to question her. Second, I'm helping you because why not? It's boring not having any friends down here. Well, at least any true friends. So, that's what I want, a friend," Emu stuck her hand out for Abby to shake, "What do you say? Friends?" Abby stared down at the girl's hand for a minute until she finally looked up into Emu's eyes. She grabbed Emu's hand and shook it.
Still grasping Emu's hand, Abby said, "Sure, friends."
