(Third Person)

Over the course of their sessions, (YN) had begun to really open up to Charlie. He was more than willing to because of the nature of how therapy worked. His statements would never be aired. Charlie had just finished breakfast and was looking over her notepad. She had filled up almost the entire notepad just on this one and only patient. Having a very long life doesn't really help either. (YN) was the first so he was special, especially special. " If she could show Hell that impaler himself could be redeemed. " She thought. " Anyone can be redeemed! " Her enthusiastic thoughts were interrupted when Vaggie came back inside, holding the mail. " It's from your father. " She said unhappily. Vaggie had grown a clear disliking of Lucifer for his attitude towards her best friend over the hotel. In her eyes, Lucifer had no right to shun his daughter then out of nowhere just reestablish connections. Charlie eyed the letter suspiciously. She thought it was a prank at first but it bore her father's seal. " That sealed the deal for her. The heir to Hell opened it up and withdrew the letter.

Dear Miss Magne, Princess, and heir to the throne.

You are "invited" to tonight's ball at your father's mansion. A date is required for all those who wish to dance. (Apparently you are required to this time)

P.S Your father wants to talk to you. Don't forget to say hi to me!

Signed, King Dice

(YN)'s P.O.V

I came back from a walk to see a nervous Charlie staring at a letter In her hand. " What is it? " I asked. She looked back at me then to the letter in her hands. " My dad wants me at a ball. " She said. " And I'm required to bring a date. " Now that's a debacle. " Any idea why he wants you? " I asked. " He was never to keen on the whole hotel idea. " Charlie answered while sitting down at a chair. Vaggie sat alongside her to comfort her. I felt a hand grasp my shoulder as we teleported in a wave of static to one of the random hallways of the hotel. " The hell Alastor? " I questioned. " What is the meaning of this? " Alastor kept up his usually creepy and cheeky grin. " You are, my dear fanged friend! " He answered. " Your date to be exact! " I raised an eyebrow then realized what he was implying. " We've only got to know each other for a few days and why me anyways! " Alastor wrapped an arm around me and began walking me through the hall. " You already know her very well as does she! " He reasoned. " Those few days are full of deep conversation and emotion! And most of all... Because I've seen the way you look at that Charming Demon Belle! I know you forgot what love looks and feels like but I haven't! " I glanced at Alastor then leaned against the wall. Am I really that dense? " Well I was drawn here by something. " I explained. " This could be an opportunity to see if it's her. " Alastor nodded enthusiastically and teleported us back to the main staircase. The Radio Demon lightly shoved me down the stairs. I looked back at him only to receive a thumbs up. Vaggie told me that she was in one of the therapy rooms. I found the room and knocked on the door. " Please leave. " Charlie said. " Charlie it's me. " I said. This must really be eating at her. At least her dad didn't send her to be tribute to the Ottomans.

After a pause, she opened the door. " Feeling better? " I asked. " A bit yeah. " Charlie replied. " Naps really help. " I sat alongside her on the bed. We both stared forward in awkward silence. How is so difficult? I've been with more women than I can count! Well, to drink and experiment but you get the point! I glanced at her but she had scooted closer to me, avoiding my gaze. I turned my head forward than glanced at her again. This time our eyes met. " So I was thinking. " (YN) started at a blushing Charlie. " As a reward for your help, I could be your d---" I couldn't finish before she lunged and pushed me onto the bed, wrapping me in a warm and tight embrace. My arms wrapped around her, returning the embrace as best I could, considering the situation. We stayed silently in this position. This warmth, I haven't felt this since... Elisabeta. Charlie quickly got off me. " I'm sorry (YN) it's just something came over me. " She explained exasperatedly. " Sooo does that mean yes? " I nodded. Charlie's smile grew. " Great! I'll pick out a dress. Most likely you already have something ready. " She said. " Yeah I'll check. " I assured.

The Radio Demon congratulated me on how that ended. " Were you listening the entire time? " I asked. " Maybe. " He replied. " But's that's not important! You have clothes to try! " Alastor teleported us to a changing room somewhere. There was already a pile of suits and pants there waiting for me. We went through half of the stack before Alastor and I finally agreed on one. It was to be accompanied by a black fur cape.

I stood at the end of the hotel's grand stairs. Angel complimented my looks and flirted a bit until Charlie came down from the stairs. Wow. She wore a slim crimson dress alongside white gloves. My eyes froze on her, mesmerized by her beauty. " Charlie you look, amazing. " I said. Her face flushed with joy. " You two better get going. " Vaggie said. " The limo's outside. " I nodded and offered Charlie my hand. She took it as I led her to the limo. " Anything. I should know about your father other than what I already know? " I asked. " Just be careful around him. " Charlie said. " Things with him are pretty rough as of now. " After the 15 minute ride, we found ourselves at the Magne manor. Wow, and I thought I wouldn't see green plants anymore. Charlie hooked our arms as we walked in. I immediately recognized Dice who and Valentino among the crowd. They were talking to a TV headed demon alongside a female demon with very large pigtails. " Charlie it's been so long! " King Dice shouted as he inched and shimmied through the crowd and gave her a hug. " How's the Hotel business? " They separated. " Pretty well. " Charlie answered semi-confidently. " Alastor of all people is helping now and (YN) here has volunteered to be our newest patient. " Dice tilted his head. " Well whaddya know! " I nodded. " It is true. What's wrong with trying something new? I have all the time in the world. " Dice chuckled. I felt a hint of nervousness from him. " Indeed you do. " He said while turning to Charlie. " Your father's in his office you at his office. " Charlie nodded and hesitantly let go of me. " Now Count let me introduce you to some folks. They're all dying to meet you! " A server brought me a glass of blood.

(YN) spent his time without Charlie chatting it up with all the different Overlords of Hell. He found it odd that they all saw him as one of them. It had only been five days since his arrival in Hell. " Where is Charlie? " (YN) thought. " It's been 25 minutes! " The vampire tried to finish up his conversation about global warming with the Prince of the Goetic Demons, Stolas. Luck was on (YN) side when Stolas went outside to answer a phone call about his upcoming cock and ball torture session. One of the servants got everyone's attention. " Now, for the dance of honor. " He declared. " Count Dracula and Princess Charlotte Magne! " The lights dimmed just as a spotlight illuminated the middle of the ballroom, there stood Charlie. Everyone around him moved to give me a path towards her. We began to slow dance while the light followed us. " Are you alright? " I whispered to her. " Yeah I'm fine. " Charlie whispered back. " She feels detached. " (YN) thought. She tightened her hold on her partner as they continued their graceful dance, the spotlight showcasing the sparkle in her eyes. After the dance and the applause, King Dice tapped (YN)'s shoulder.

" Count. Lucifer wants you. "
