The Silent Scream

Chapter 2

All seemed quiet on her walk to the so-called hotel. Banshee didn't like the silence much; it only made the thoughts in her head louder than normal. She knew Noir didn't like it either, so they tried to keep each other company by a small talk in their mind. They looked so serious when they walked down the streets. Normally, others would coward at such a sight, yet this is Hell, and no one didn't really take her seriously due to her line of work. That was fine to her. She wasn't here to make too much of a fuss anyways. Another one of Noir's jobs was to keep her from making too much trouble of Lucifer to the point to where her family would be contacted. She rather have the silence from them, then dealing with them.

Banshee soon found the hotel and a big crater in the ground. Noir sniffed it as she jumped back seeing a hand coming out grasping for the ground in front of it. Banshee held out her mic getting ready to strike down anything that was willing to hurt them. The two girls took a step back as a large snake came out wearing a top hat and holding onto a life-size egg. Banshee sighed annoying knowing who exactly this was... Sir Pentious and Egg Boris. "You asshole," Banshee glared at him, "you fucking scared us idiot."

Pentious cleared the dust in front of him seeing the two staring at him at his recent defeat. She was a lady to him, but he didn't give a shit to be honest. He knew who she was and her reputation, only because he tends to get lonely from time to time. He was never a fan of foxes especially Noir who always ready to attack the snake without warning. Noir never attacked anyone unless Banshee was getting hurt or she ordered it. This was a lucky break for Pentious anyways since Banshee was not in the mood to deal with a failure of a villain anyways. "What are you doing here," he asked curious at their presence, "heard about my defeat of that pesky little spider and his little friendsss?"

She rolled her eyes then crossed her arms. She knew Angel was a good fighter but didn't have the strength to make this kind of crater in the ground. "I know Angel Dust can shoot your brains out, but nothing like this and I highly doubt Cherri's bombs can make such damage as well. I'm assuming you crashed your blimp here like an idiot."

"I did not!" he snapped at her, "For your information missy it was the Radio Demon's doing." Banshee's eyes widen as the name. She was a fan of his work and his music station, though it was more of demons screaming in agony and pain from his powerful skills. This made her blushing a little, but she didn't want it to be known by snake boy here. She had to remain tough for her reputation to keep up. Noir growled at the snake not liking him one bit trying to keep her friend protected.

Banshee looked over at the snake then over at the hotel. She instantly thought about Charlie smiling small. She knew Lucifer did not care for the idea of rehabilitating demons, but Charlie was determined. Banshee remembered her face of strength trying to hide her hiding the pain she felt from her father's words. She knew how the young demon princess felt, but now knowing the Radio Demon being around her and the hotel. None of this would turn out good if he were there trying to do who knows what. "I believe it's time for you to go Sir Pentious. Allow me to handle this," she turned her eyes towards him having her smile fade away.

"What?! No way! This is my show little doe girl and I will not..." Sir Pentious was interrupted by Noir snapping towards him with a snarl. He hated being intimidated by such a creature as her, "Fine I'll go... but this isn't over!" He turned motioning what was left of his egg henchmen to follow. They did so and vanished in the distance.

Noir looked up at Banshee worried. She remembered that day with Charlie and Lucifer. She and Banshee were hiding in his 'special' chambers watching from afar. Of course, they were about to leave that day, but Banshee butted in when she should not have. Noir protected her from Lucifer from hurting her reminding him who Banshee really was. Lucifer, once an angel of God, knew this fox was right at that moment and back down, but reminded both of their place in Hell. The fox always wanted to stay by Banshee to protect her from evil, even if it cost her life.
