The Smallest Hell spawn (A Hazbin Hotel Side Story)

Chapter One- Comforting The HellSpawn

'The night before had been quite calm for Charlie and Vaggie, save for Ryker having his first nightmare, however they realized somthing that had worried them'

'Ryker didnt sleep. At all, it was nearly mid day and the poor thing looked exauhsted'

'He struggled just to keep himself off the ground whenever he would walk around. The glow in his eyes was almost completley gone. Flickering whenever he would do anything that used too much energy'

'Charlie and Vaggie had tried to get him to nap many times, with little to no success. Infact he seemed to be very careful around the two'

Charlie: "C'mere honey" 'Charlie says patting her lap softly, having crouched down infront of Ryker'

'Ryker simply let's out a weak hum before retreating underneath the couch behind him, the glow in his eyes going out as he does so'

'Charlie let's out a sigh, a worried look crossing her face as Vaggie comes over to her, placing a hand on her shoulder'

Vaggie: "Let's just give him a little bit longer hun" 'Vaggie says as Charlie stands up, a set of tired lines forming under her eyes'

Charlie: "I dont get it. What kind of nightmare did he have to make him like this?" 'Charlie asks tiredly'

Vaggie: "I dont know but,it'll probably be better if we let him come to us. He's pretty wigged out" 'Vaggie says glancing down to Ryker'

'With a hesitant expression Charlie follows Vaggie upstairs, Leaving Ryker to himself'

'As time passes throughout the hotel Ryker finds himself struggling to stay awake, watching the inhabitants of the hotel go about their daily lives'

'Slowly but surely the young hellspawn falls unconsious, his exauhstion finally winning the battle'

'However this time of rest that came over him was not a peaceful one'

'His mind was clouded with the sounds of screams, explosions and fire. Blood'

'With a alarmed rumble Ryker jumps back to consiousness, accidentally stabbing his horns into the couch above him'

'Once Ryker manages to get himself unstuck he shakes his head, still shaking lightly as he pokes his head out from under the couch'

'It had become night once more and he was left alone in the dark lounge of the hotel'

'Or atleast that's what he thought. Untill he heard a light snore above him'

'Charlie ahd fallen asleep on the couch he had been hiding under, likley not wanting to leave him alone'

'After a few moments of mental deliberation Ryker crawls out from under the couch, turning towards Charlie'

'Silently Ryker climbs up onto the couch before climbing onto Charlie, his small size and light weight making it easy to not wake her up'

'Quietly Ryker curls up next to her, a soft humm coming from him as he watches over her'

'Eventually Charlie ends up waking up slightly, noticing Ryker laying next to her'

Charlie: "Hey bud...." 'Charlie says softly, causing Ryker to jump slightly, landing on the back of the couch'

'Charlie let's out a soft chuckle as she rubs her eyes for a moment, half expecting Ryker to be gone by the time she opens them'

'However much to her surprise instead of Ryker hiding under the couch, she felt him crawl upto her again, this time resting his chin on her hand'

'For a brief moment a look of confusion crosses Charlie's face before a look of clarity crosses it. She knew what his nightmare was about'

Charlie: "Oh I'm okay sweetie, I'm not going anywhere" 'Charlie says pulling Ryker closer to her'

'Ryker let's out a concerned hum, his glow coming back slightly'

Charlie: "I'm not going anywhere and neither is Vaggie. I promise" 'Charlie says  reassuringly'

'Ryker let's out a quiet rumble, tears begining to form at the corners of his eyes'

Charlie: "Hey....no tears. You're safe, I'm safe and mummy is safe too. She's just sleeping in bed" 'Charlie says giving Ryker a tight hug'

'After a few moments Ryker rests his head on Charlie's shoulder, a small hum coming from him as he nudges Charlie's head lightly'

Charlie: "Aww, I love you to sweetie" 'Charlie says with a light laugh, a smile visible on her face'

'As Charlie lay's on the couch softly humming a song to herself, she feels Ryker's grip become softer as he falls asleep, a distorted noise simmilar to a quiet purr coming from him'

Charlie: "Well I guess I'm sleeping on the couch tonight" 'Charlie says with a soft sigh, adjusting herself to try and get comfortable'
