Chapter 11: Fear is a Wonderful Tool

Staring at the ceiling you tried to process all that had happened today. Mainly that meal with the Radio Demon. You didn't care that you knew his nickname, you were not using it. It only brought back too many memories. With the sound of silence, you started to nod off. Eyes so very heavy, your bed so nice. The plush blankets and pillow exactly what you needed to unwind.

A knock at the door?

Shifting from your position on the bed you stared at your door mumbling a welcome. You weren't even sure they heard you but they must've since it started opening. Charlie poked her head in, finding you on the bed. She looked worried, something happened. If it had anything to do with that Radio demon, he would move to the first place on your hit list.

"Y/n?" Sitting up you rubbed your eyes, you didn't get to have a nap but that didn't stop you.

"Yes, Sunshine?" Stretching you shuffled to the edge of the bed, letting your bare feet touch the floor. Changing your clothes through magic, before standing fully.

"There's a little bit of a problem downstairs." Following her to the lobby, you could hear banging on the front doors which had been locked and boarded up. Trying to take a look outside through those apple designed windows, you couldn't see through them. Lucifer of all people should know that's not how stained glass is supposed to work.

"Who's out there?" Leaving the foyer and finding everyone in the lobby. 

"Protestors," Vaggie answered your question, showing you the screen of her phone, "been out there for a while now." The crowd on the screen larger than you would have liked. The scene changed to the news anchors and you noted that it was the same news station from before. Introducing themselves before continuing with the news.

"Protestors from around the second circle have gathered at the Happy hotel." The mask covering his face moved as if it were his own.

"It seems that in spite of the Princess's best efforts, demons don't want to be rehabilitated, what a shocker." Shaking her fist the demon in pink smiled, her bones rattling whenever she moved.

"I'll be back." Charlie took your shoulder but you didn't look back.

"Y/n, what are you going to do?" You could think of many things to do to the crowd outside.

"My job, your father asked me personally to help you with this hotel, and I intend to do that." It seemed you had been using your rifle a lot lately. Summoning the weapon you were off to the roof. Hearing her call out a 'be careful' to your retreating figure.

A soft breeze in the air as you peered down at the crowd, they looked less threatening from up on the roof. Their makeshift signs waving in the air, still, you couldn't resort to violence just yet. This hotel was all about second chances, so you intended to give them just that. Flying down you landed in front of the group. 

"Leave." That was it, you weren't giving them any more warning. You only got booed at in response, one of them had the audacity to shove you. It didn't end well for them, the sound of your gun firing and their body hitting the ground. This time, they didn't melt into the ground. Odd.
