Hey folks, this is a quick one-shot I whipped up after a random burst of inspiration, plus the hype of season 2 coming in less then three days.
So 22 sleepless nights later, here we are. It's a little story featuring Charlie and my OC, Prince.
If you enjoy it—awesome. If not, well, I still lost sleep writing it, so at least pretend to clap.
This'll probably be the only one-shot I do for this story… unless y'all decide to drop, say, 25 comments and or 169 stones.
Then I'll let the mob decide which girl from the series gets the next one-shot treatment.
Possible next One-Shot's:
•Belphegor
•Loona
•Verisika Mayday
•Octavia
•Millie
[All chapters are completed and will be updated over the next coming hours, ending at chapter 16]
Anyway, hope you have fun with it.
Hummingbird out. 🐦

VOLUME 1
---------
Once upon a time, there was a glowing city protected by golden gates, known as Heaven.
It was ruled by beings of pure light. Angels that worshipped good and shielded all from evil.
Lucifer was one of these angels. He was a dreamer with fantastical ideas for all of creation. But he was seen as a troublemaker by the elders of Heaven. For they felt his way of thinking was dangerous to the order of their world.
So he watched as the angels began to expand the universe in their ways.
From the dust of Earth, they created Adam and Lilith. Equals as the first of mankind, but despite this, Adam demanded control and Lilith refused to submit to his will.
She fled the garden. Drawn in by her fierce
independence, Lucifer found her and the two rebellious dreamers fell deeply in love.
Together, they wished to share the magic of free will with humanity, offering the fruit of knowledge to Adam's new bride, Eve, who gladly accepted.
But this gift came with a curse. For with this single act of disobedience, evil finally found its way into Earth.
With it, a new realm of darkness and sin. And the order Heaven had worked to maintain was shattered.
As punishment for their reckless act, Heaven cast Lucifer and his love into the dark pit he had created, never allowing him to see the good that came from humanity, only the cruel and the wicked. Ashamed, Lucifer lost his will to dream.
But Lilith thrived, empowering demon-kind with her voice and her songs. And as the numbers of Hell grew, so did its power. Threatened by this, Heaven made a truly heartless decision.
That every year, they would send down an army, an extermination to ensure Hell and
its sinners could never rise against them.
But Lilith's hope remained. And her dream was passed down to their precious daughter—
...the Princess of Hell.

"Ughhhhh...fiivvve more minutes."

[Beep.beep...WAKE UP U YOU LAZY SHIT!!!]
"AHH!! FUCK" Charlie jolted out of her bed in fright, hitting the floor head first. She rubbed her forehead and blinked one eye after the other. Glaring at her alarm clock before panic set in.
"Nnnonononononono, shit! I'm gonna be late!!" Charlie panicked and ran straight for the bathroom. She had made sure to set an early alarm but clearly the sketchey sinner she bought it from gave her a defective poduct.
Charlie bolted into the bathroom, nearly tripping over her own pile of clothes she forgot to wash. "Shitshitshit—why today of all days?!" She fumbled with the faucet, splashing her face before jumping into the shower.
[Knock Knock]
The door creaked open and in floated Razzle and Dazzle, each balancing a silver tray.
"Good morning, Princess!" Razzle spoke.
"We brought you breakfast!" Dazzle added, his snake like tongue flicking out as he set down his tray.
Charlie shouted over the running water, "Do you two realize I had a meeting today? A big one? Like… life-changing big?! Why didn't either of you wake me up?!"
Razzle tilted his head. "We tried. But you yelled something about feeding the Rainbow koala army and went back to sleep."
"It sounded really important," Dazzle nodded, deadly serious.
Charlie poked her head out of the shower, with suds still piled on top of her hair like a bubble crown. "Koala army? Really?! I dont remember that...Ugh no, I dont have time for this."
Razzle and Dazzle just shrugged at each other and lifted the trays.
"Anyway!" Razzle grinned. "We got you breakfast! Hell's finest morning feast."
Razzle grinned, showing off his sharp little teeth. "We brought you the special today. Lava-braised fire koi and eggs with ash-glazed toast, topped with blood-orange hollandaise. Oh, and screaming yolks."
On cue, the eggs let out a muffled shriek before sizzling themselves into death...
"And don't forget the drink!" Dazzle held up a goblet filled with something fizzing green and smoking.
Charlie squinted. "What… is that?"
"Carbonated mystery juice. Extra pulp." Dazzle slurped it loudly. "Mmm. Chunky."
Charlie gagged. "I don't have time for chunky mystery liquid right now!!" She darted out of the shower, still dripping, bolted to her closet, and began yanking on her red suit with her hair half-covered in soap. "Oh my god, oh my god, I'm late, I'm late—"
She stomped out of the closet, one shoe on, hair still foamy. "You guys—prep the car. Now."
The two demons saluted, wings flapping as they dashed toward the door.
"Aye aye, Princess!" Razzle chirped.
"Car will be ready in thirty seconds!" Dazzle promised.
Charlie grabbed a piece of the fish omelette with her bare hands as she ran past the table.
"Thanks—mmfphh—you guys are the best—" she mumbled through a mouthful of molten koi, nearly choking as she sprinted for the front entrance.
Charlie barreled down the grand hallway of the Morningstar estate, nearly slipping on polished obsidian tiles before skidding to a stop at the front entrance.
The royal limo sat alredy waiting, black as tar with crimson flames painted along the side. The chauffeur, a thin looking demon in a leather cap with teeth for lips, tipped his hat.
"Princess," he rasped.
She gulped down the food, coughing. "Hot hot hot—ugh—okay I'm good."
"Drive, drive, drive!" Charlie shouted, jumping inside.
"Where to?" the chauffeur asked.
"The Hellish Times headquarters! And step on it!" Charlie snapped, then immediately leaned forward. "But keep to the speed limit!"
The chauffeur blinked. "Princess, there are no traffic rules." Not any that most sinners or Hellborns obeyed that Is.
"Oh, okay, just-just don't kill anybody then!!"
Razzle and Dazzle zipped in right behind her, hopping into the car as Charlie collapsed into the seat.
The limo shot off into the streets, weaving past buildings and sinners. Charlie gripped her knees, taking deep breaths, trying not to throw up fiery koi onto her suit.
"Okay. Okay, Charlie. You've got this," she whispered to herself, to try and hype herself up. "Just talk about your idea, don't stutter, give them a smile, dont puke on the interviewer...again, and maybe… just maybe, today'll actually go well."
She closed her eyes, clutched her briefcase tight, and nodded.
"Yeah. Today's gonna go well. I can feel it.
