The taste of sin

Chapter 1: The first cup

As a small note, in the following story several parts will be told from the POV of Charlie and Alastor and it will be indicated when they start and end, enjoy.

(Charlie)

I still can't believe everything that happened, I fought on live television, I made a fool of myself in front of all hell, I accepted the help of one of the most powerful demons in history and everything in less than 24 hours.

I know that for many the idea of redemption is ridiculous and impossible, but Do they have to mock me? What's wrong with wanting to help people go to a much better place than here?

I don't like that the idea of Alastor's entertainment is to see those who seek redemption fail, technically he is laughing in my face about my idea of the hotel, but as much as it bothers me I must admit that without his help my project will not be able to come far away and all this is making my head hurt, I need something to drink.

Charlie was in her hotel room located on the top floor of the building, her father let her live there on the condition that the room was worthy of someone of royalty and Charlie had to accept, that's why her room was made of fine silks, highly detailed statues, the highest quality furniture and gold trim.

On that same floor there were other rooms that were reserved for future hotel employees who would most likely be occupied by Husk and Niffty, all the rooms were luxurious because Charlie felt that if she lived with many comforts, others also deserved that right, which displeased her father.

In front of her room was Vaggie's, Charlie would have loved for them to sleep in the same room, but her girlfriend didn't feel ready to take that step yet.

Charlie left her room still wearing her normal clothes and went silently to the elevator so as not to make noise, after all it was already 1:00 am and Vaggie was surely asleep, while waiting for the elevator her head was still filling with ideas.

(Charlie)

How the hell am I going to explain to dad that the demon that has caused him the most problems and that killed many of his allies is going to help me with the hotel, I am sure that the moment he finds out he will force me to close the place, maybe if I talk to mom first she will help me convince him, it is also not like I have made a deal with him so if dad tells me not to accept his help there will be no problem, but in that case I will not receive help from anyone and everything will go downhill.

*ring*

Vaggie was right these elevators are pretty fast, let's go to the ground floor, now that I think about it, how does Mr. Alastor plan to help me with the hotel? Is it going to help me financially or get me publicity off TV?

It may be that, after all he can control all the radio stations to his liking, but that brings me to another question How long does he plan to help me with the hotel? What if he ends up bored too quickly and leave us overnight? my head is killing me.

(Normal)

All the doubts that were coming to Charlie made her pain worse, she was clutching her head with both hands to try to calm it down a bit, but it was no use, when the elevator reached the ground floor, she felt a little relaxed.

Charlie was going to the kitchen and to get there she had to first go through the lobby that is where the elevators were, as she passed, she saw that Husk was asleep in the new bar surrounded by many empty alcohol bottles which meant he was drinking until fall asleep.

Charlie was a bit of a laugh seeing Husk like this, but it also made her feel sorry knowing how much he depended on alcohol in his life, it was obvious that nothing could wake him up but even so she tried not to make a lot of noise, once it was a considerable distance she came back to normal speed.
