(YN's) P.O.V

" Count. Lucifer wants you. "

Dice's words echoed in my head as I made my way to the office that overlooked the ballroom. It was only a matter of time before this happened. " Come in! " Lucifer said before I could knock on the door. " It's been too long! " I entered the room and sat at one of the armchairs in front of the desk. Lucifer swiveled around to meet me, a wide grin on his face. " Your majesty. " I bowed my head. " Please, no formalities. " Lucifer waved off. " We're friends, aren't we? " I reluctantly nodded. I fail him and he greets me like a friend? "How's Hell treating you? " Lucifer asked while handing me a glass of blood then sitting back at his chair. " Pretty well. " I replied. " Especially at Charlie's hotel. "

The King of Hell growled at the mention of it. " Ah, yes. Charlotte's... Passion project. May I ask why go there? You could've done anything you wanted. " I downed the glass to ease my nervousness. The blood was more of that artificial human stuff. " Something has drawn me there. " I answered. Lucifer's eyes perked up, and leaned forward. " Really? Tell me more. " I shrugged. " Perhaps it's a person within the hotel, haven't figured it out yet. " Lucifer leaned back. " Interesting. And Charlotte? " So this is what this is about? Not my failure, her. " What about her? " I questioned, chuckling nervously. " What do you think of her? " He asked. " Well... She's beautiful, has a very angelic voice, and is probably one of the kindest demons of all time. " I said. " Yeah, I hear that a lot. " Lucifer said. " Well, you better get going. Charlotte's waiting for you outside. "

We exchanged farewells. Lucifer called me just as I was going out the door. " You shouldn't talk to her for the rest of the night. " He recommended. " I'm afraid she's not in a good mood. " I gave him a suspicious glance before closing the door, exhaling exasperatedly. The party had begun to wind down with most important guests gone. I got to the limo outside and got in. Charlie was staring out the window to her left. " Charlie, are you alright? " I asked. " What did he say to you? " She glanced at me then looked away. Her face said it all. I relented and relaxed into my seat.

Somewhere in the middle of the drive. Charlie's hand rested on mine. She didn't turn her head but I noticed her eyes looked back at me. I moved my hand to hold hers, giving it a light comforting squeeze. For our actions spoke a thousand words. We stayed like this until we reached the hotel. Charlie immediately went and hugged Vaggie. I went to my room to relax until Charlie felt like talking which probably won't be tonight. After changing into my night robes, I went into my coffin. Footsteps could be heard outside my door. Something was slipped under my door. I picked up the paper and unfolded it.

Meet me in the restaurant's outside eating area.

-Charlie

I changed back into my normal clothes and went to meet her. She was leaning on the railing, watching the cityscape below. Charlie turned and regarded me with a smile. I went to her side and watched with her. " I'm sorry for ignoring you. " She said. " Well, you weren't exactly ignoring me. " I replied. Charlie rested her head on my shoulder. " You're right. " I separated from her, having us face to face. " What did Lucifer say to you? " I asked. Charlie stared at me, her lip quivering in what could only be called fear. " He, he threatened to close the hotel if I didn't get you to. " She paused, unable to continue. " Didn't get me to what Charlie? " I pressed. " Get you to join in some ritual! She cried out. " It'll kill you but all demons could escape hell. " My eyes went wide. " Oh god. But why me? Can't he already cross over? " Charlie shook her head. " Only for a limited time. "

That bastard! " Charlie you listen to me. " I said while gripping her shoulders. " Nothing will happen to you or the hotel or even the people here. " I let go of her and jumped off the balcony.

(Third Person)

" Wait! " Charlie shouted as she rushed over to the edge, looking for (YN). A swarm of bats suddenly flew above her. " Don't worry. " The bats said in a collective deep voice. " I'll be back! " Charlie pled with him to return but her pleas fell on deaf ears. Lucifer Magne relaxed in his empty throne room. King Dice had left hours ago and Lilith was already in bed. A green mist seeped through the room's back door. " Thanks for spilling my plan, Charlotte. " Lucifer thought sarcastically. He got up and took a few steps forward before turning around, facing the now formed (YN). " You're sooner than expected. " Lucifer said with a wide smile. (YN)'s claws began to lengthen and sharpen. " So is that why you turned me? " The vampire questioned. " To pull off some master plan centuries in the making? " Lucifer waved his pointer finger in dismissal. " This is your fault, not mine. If you had just conquered the world like you were supposed to, could've just done the ritual with a bunch of other vampires! Did it ever occur to you that you've never seen another vampire in Hell? That's because all of them for the past few hundred years have been your lineage! They're all tied to you! "

(YN) ignored the rant and lunged at the King of Hell, dragging him through the ground at high speed, then throwing him across the room. Lucifer got up and dusted himself off. " I'm not going to hurt you. " He said. " Not permanently of course. " He snapped his fingers, putting (YN) on his knees. " What did you do to me! " He asked angrily between regurgitations. " Just infected the blood you drank at my office with cancer. " Lucifer replied nonchalantly. He knew there would be no way his creation could prolong the fight. All (YN) could do is flee. " Run little bat, run. " Lucifer thought as the swarm of bats left the mansion.

Charlie waited anxiously in the outside eating area. She watched (YN) reform and slump backward, almost falling backward on the railing. Charlie rushed to grab him. " Get back Char-lie " He coughed out. " Get Alastor. Need blood. " Charlie shook her head and kneeled in front of him. " You need blood now (YN) " She said sternly. " Don't, please. " The vampire begged. " I can't hurt you. " He turned his head away from her. Charlie unbuttoned the collar of her suit freeing her neck. She gently turned his face to meet her. (YN)'s fangs sharpened and his eyes glowed in hunger. " It's okay, (YN). " Charlie assured.

" I'm sorry. " (YN) replied before lunging forward and biting into Charlie's neck. Her breathing hitched at the sudden puncture. She held tightly onto him. (YN) released her and helped her get up. Charlie was too fatigued to talk. " What the fuck! " A familiar Spanish exclaimed. The pair turned to meet Vaggie, angry with her spear in hand.
