Hazbin Hotel: The Fate of Fates

Chapter 13: Sadness

Charlie didn't say anything when got back. She was just silent, not saying a thing. She just went to her room and closed the door. In her room, she sat in bed, thinking again and again on how she failed everyone. Her mom and dad were trapped, Alastor could be dead, and Malice, a literal dimension murder, was freed. This, and so much more was her fault. While thinking this, Razzle and Dazzle appeared, laying on her side. When she looked at them, she started to cry uncontrollably. She had failed as being a princess, a friend, and someone who would help others.

A week passed and things started to depressed. Charlie stopped talking to anyone, making as if there was no hope left in her. When Vaggie and Angel argued over something, she said nothing, soon having them not argue and started trying to make her smile again. They had to see her hope shine again.

First, they tried to play music, which she would always sang to the lyrics and dance to it. They decided to go with her song.

That didn't work though, as she just sat there, silent. When they tried to make her sing with it, she just got up and left. Next, they tried making up stories. Charlie loved to make up little stories she told to Razzle and Dazzle before they went to sleep. They told stories of giant rainbows, puppies, and all the stuff that she liked, but that didn't work either. Nate tried to help by making some food for her, but she didn't eat. Niffty tried to play dress up with her, but Charlie just sighed and left. Charlie then started hanging near Husk's bar, where she drank some water and nothing. Tired of everyone bothering him to see Charlie, he decided to go for a somewhat 'reasonable' way, which, for him, was being a absolute dick. "So what? You failed people, big whop. I failed my parents years ago." Charlie was still silent. "Besides, no one's going to miss them anyway." Still, no response. "Husk, shut Up..." Vaggie spoke. "What? I'm telling the truth. She is a failure to her people. What's the big deal?" Charlie finally got up and looked. "What's the big deal? WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL!?!" Charlie yelled after being silent for so long, eyes red like blood. "A murderous maniac is on the loose because of ME! My parents are in danger because of ME! Alastor. could. be. dead. because. of. ME! After all that, you still think it's no big deal?!" when she said that, fire cracked through the ground. Husk shrugged. "Yeah, so?" That was the last straw. Charlie turned demon mode and started choking Husk. 

Vaggie and Angel grabbed hold of her to pull her off. When they finally got her off, Husk was rubbing his neck. "What The Hell Is Your Problem?!" Charlie looked at him with anger in her eyes. "My FAMILY is in DANGER!" "Charlie..." "A Killer Is on the LOOSE!" "Charlie-" "That's My PROBLEM, YOU OVERSIZE MOTHER FU-" "CHARLIE!" Vaggie yelled out. Charlie looked back at Vaggie. "WHAT?!" Vaggie looked at her and grabbed her shoulders. "We...(Sigh) we are worried just as much as you are. Husk was only trying to help in his own way." She then looked at him. "Even If it was uncalled for." Husk huffed at them and turned away. "He didn't mean anything by it, right?" Vaggie looked at him again. Sighing, Husk nodded. "We want to help you. Let us help you. You aren't alone." Then, Charlie turned back to normal tears in her eyes. "I-I-I just miss them..." She hugged both Vaggie and Angel, crying. "We know." spoke Vaggie.

Then, they hear Charlie's phone ring. When they look who it is, it's Charlies mom's phone. Charlie answers the phone and hears something getting beat up and then a voice. "Check the clock tower, dear." She remembered that voice anywhere. It was Malice. So he didn't lie. That only made Charlie want to save her parents and Alastor more. "Come on guys." Charlie called out, already near the door.
