I look behind me to see Charlie rubbing my back, seeing a concerned look on her face.

"Charlie...?", I replied teary eyed. "Don't tell me I was the only one who noticed that".

"Notice what?", she replied questiongly.

I put my head down in shame, "So it wasn't you....,but now that you're here I have questions that I need answered."

"Ok, well what are they?" She'd replied with concern.

"I don't know how I got here, who you really are, and...who made that nightmare happen.", I replied nervously.

"Well as you know I am...now that I think about, I don't think I properly introduced myself." Ahem "My name is Charlie, daughter of Lucifer, princess of Hell, and I am running this hotel to rehabilitate sinners to heaven with a couple of friends...we haven't gotten many visitors so that's why I kind of reacted the way I did when I first met ya."

I lightly laughed to myself to relieve tension as well as realising that she may be the antichrist. "Well that's one hell of an introduction", I said jokingly only for her to respond with an annoyed look.

"Ahem, so you came to hell because you committed sin, that which I don't know it was just deemed as one and you sort of...well...fell".

"That explains the headache", I replied quietly.

"The what?", she responded.

" Nothing hahaha....so I presume you weren't the one making the nightmares?"

She looked at me with confusion, "What do you mean about nightmares?"

"Well on separate occasions someone or something was messing with my head, making me see a nightmare version of this hotel."

"Oh dear, I'm sorry about that; but please can you go into detail of what these nightmares were like?"

"Well everything was rusted over, there was a monster I think, and there was this annoying-" radio static started to sound. Hearing the noise made my demeanor drop instantly as I looked around in panic.

"Why the long face Mr...(y/n)?"

I turned around to see that tall, grey faced, smiling, demon looking down at me. I looked at him with fright, slowly backing away from both of them.

"What's wrong there little fellow? Seems like you've seen a ghost."

"O-oh no-no I just realized that I need to get groceries and that I am r-really in a rush to find stuff to eat."

"I mean the hotel can provide these necessities for you." Leaning closer to me Did something happen?" He replied.

"Nothing happened. Nothing at all!" I say while walking away from both of them.

"Well, I do hope you hurry back. You are such a nice addition to this hotel, especially after that incident on the teli, right Charlie?" He said while looking over at her.

"Well she didn't have to be rude about it." Charlie replied

"You did call her a bi-"

Charlie covered Alastor's mouth with her hands. "But you will be back, right (y/n)?" she said looking back at me.

"Definitely, won't be long." I replied.

"Well don't be long, it's dangerous out there, especially for someone like you."

I gave a thumbs up before going out the front door.

I made it out the front door, took a deep breath, and started running away from that hotel. "There are some nice people there, but something's messing with me there; I have to leave at least for now".

I then darted down the street, bumping into demons here and there until I was out of sight from everyone.

"Maybe those nightmares were caused by him? Maybe he could only do it at the hotel? If all else fails and he puts me back there, I might as well return... now that I think about it, where did my locket go."

Back at the hotel

"Please don't mention that incident to our new guest Al, especially since he's....well new." Charlie exclaimed.

"Heh, fair enough. Anyways, I am needed somewhere at the moment." He said while walking towards the front door. When he left, Charlie heard someone coming down the stairs,

"Hey, toots." A male voice said in a serious tone.

"Angel, what happened?"

"Weird question, but did ya accidentally give drugs to the new guy?"

"Why would I give our guest drugs in the first place?" Charlie replied in a calmed frustrated tone.

"Well it looked like he was tripping, hard; was freaking out when I tried to talk to him."

"How so?"Charlie replied questiongly.

"Well he was shaking for starters and not at the flirts I was trying to do. Like, he was seeing things I wasn't seeing."

"Yeah", Charlie replied in a worried tone.

"Then, he walked in a broom closet and fell through the floor."

"HE WHAT?!?!"

"I just came to see if he broke his neck or you talked to him recently, and judging by your tone I take it he's dead."

"Well he isn't dead Angel... he fell through the floor."

"Well sorry I thought you heard it the big loud thump, apparently you're Helen Keller ", Angel Dust replied in a sarcastic tone.

"I have to check out the scene, and the damage that was done, sigh, hopefully Niffty can fix it".

As Charlie finished the thought she heard someone burst through the elevator.

"WHERE IS HE?!?!?!?!"

"Uhh Vaggie, what happened?"

"That runt ran away when I called out to him after he went to his room, I suspect he has something." Vaggie replied.

"Uhh no, that's not it..." Vaggie looked at her confused,

"I think someone is messing with him" Vaggie looked at Angel Dust,

"Don't look at me, I would never hurt a guest, especially if I could get a one night stand with them."

She continued to glare at him and scoffed. "If it's anyone it has to be Alastor, but why?"

Angel Dust interrupted.

"More important question, where did those two run off too? I was hoping I could go a li- I mean flirt yes, flirt, not drugs."

"Now that you mention it, where did they go?" Charlie exclaimed.

"Would you all shut the fuck up!!!" Husk said. "All the yelling you're all doing is not making this hangover easier!!!"

"Aheem", Charlie cleared her throat, "If anything we have to find Al, maybe he could stop or at least help us find out what's going on?"

"Find out about what?", Alastor said, sitting down on a couch in the main lobby, drinking tea. The trio looked behind them to notice Alastor acting as if nothing had happened

"Al, back so soon", Charlie replied."Well since you're here, did you happen to see (y/n) while you were out?", Charlie replied with concern.

"Sadly I did not, though I did hear that he was seeing things, wish I knew more than that."

"Well hopefully he actually returns and not outright try and run away", Charlie said with concern with her voice

"You all seem awfully worried about our new guest, care to explain why", Alastor said in a sinister tone

"I just don't want a guest of ours being harmed, I mean he is kind of our only guest, who knows maybe demons will eventually come here", Charlie exclaimed.

"As much as I hate to admit it, I do kind of have to agree with her on this one", Vaggie commented

"Whatever broad", Angel Dust replied.

"I'll be out front, just in case he does eventually come back, you're coming with me as well Angel.", Vaggie said

"Whateva ya say toots, don't expect me to stay for a long time though, I've got places to be if you catch my drift.", Angel Dust replied.

Vaggie then glared at Angel Dust
