Em ends up cast down like Lucifer and gets adopted by the hotel gang.
(Going for a little shorter on this one)
“Why cant the sinners be redeemed?” Emily asked angrily at Sera, practically stomping her foot on the ground. “No one here knows how to get into heaven and one of them did! So why cant we help the rest-”
“Its not our place!” Sera pinched the bridge of her nose. “We are supposed to keep the balance of Heaven and Hell.”
“And we’re supposed to do this by exterminating the sinners?”
“We have to prevent an uprising!”
Emily growled as she took another step forward. “They arent going to rise against us! Charlie wants to help those that want to do better? Why cant you see that?”
“Because once you’re a sinner, you cant change.”
Emily stopped for a moment as she watched Sera start to change and energy start to form around her. A jolt of electricity ran through her as she dropped to her knees, looking up at Sera. “W-what are you doing?”
“I’m sorry, Emily, but I cant have you asking questions like this any further.” Sera looked away as she opened a portal under her sister. “You have to leave now.”
“Sera!” Emily felt herself thrown down from heaven, watching as it grew further away. Try all her might, she couldnt stop her descent or make her way back to heaven, feeling her powers fade for a moment as she descended into hell. Then, she felt herself slam into the ground, wincing as she stared up at the sky above her. Her heart felt broken as a few tears ran down her cheeks, feeling alone now that she was cast away.
Emily picked herself up, catching the sight of black feathers out of the corner of her eye. Her heart nearly stopped when she didnt see her normal white feathers, quickly turning herself to see her wings, carefully feeling them as if she didnt recognize them. Then, she caught her reflection in a nearby window. Her eyes werent as bright of a blue as they had been, the tear-like markings almost the same color as her skin, and her hair darkened to a gray, losing the white that it’d been.
She finally pulled away from her reflection and started to make her way down the street, picking up into a sprint as she looked for anyone that could help her. Charlie or Vaggie or even Lucifer… all she had to do was get to the hotel and then she would have someone that would believe her. Emily came to a stop as she nearly ran into Vaggie, falling onto her and hugging at her arm.
“Get off-” Vaggie paused as she looked at Emily, anger turning into concern. “Emily?! What are you doing here?”
“I-I need… I need help,” Emily practically stuttered out as a few tears escaped her. “I… I cant go back.”
Vaggie sighed and looked towards the hotel. “Come with me and…. Charlie and I will… we’ll… we’ll find a way to help you.”
Emily nodded and let go of Vaggie for a moment, wiping a few tears away from her now reddened eyes as she gave a smile to her as she followed to the hotel. “Thank you, I… I owe you.”

Betrayal Beyond Repair pt 3
(Final part of this story, I hope you've all enjoyed it so far. CW mention of rape, violence, and fire)
Emily continued to get used to her new home, it was still hard to accept but she was doing better. Her body had healed up enough for her to start going out. So the group would often spend their outings going shopping. Buying new clothes and things for her room, and in return she would help around the hotel. Cleaning, cooking as well as anything else that needed to be done.
She had done away with her heavenly princess attire by now, dressing in much darker clothes most times. Her halo had disappeared and changed into two small floating horns. The ends of her hair had blackened, as did the color of her forearms to her fingertips, while her wings had disappeared. It took some adjusting but she was starting to enjoy her time with everyone.
It was a late night, Emily had been convinced by Cherri and the others to go to an arcade and bar. They could respect that Emily wasn’t a big drinker but she wasn’t going to pass up on going to an arcade. No one in the bar seemed to notice or care that Emily was there which was good. She spent most of her time playing the games. Of course she tried a drink here or there, but nothing extreme. Just as she sat down with her collection of tickets she could use to buy a soda Cherri sat beside her.
“How ya doing girl? You look like ya havn’ fun!” Emily nodded showing her her bucket of tickets.
“Oh yeah I got a whole lot of these, gonna see if I can get the big plush up there by the end.”
“That’s awesome! Ah say, you know Sirpentious right?” Emily nodded as she sipped on her drink.
“How’s he doing by the way? I know its been a bit since ya been up there but, I still wanna know.”
“Oh he’s doing great, he told me so much about you, he hardly talks about much else beside you, his inventions and his lil egg boys.”
“That’s good, I hope he’s okay now, i know its not easy for him to talk with new people.”
“Yeah, honestly if I hadn’t befriended him, I wouldn’t be here. I’d probably be dead, I hope they don’t hurt him.” That made Cherri pause
“Wait what?” Emily smiled sheepishly trying to brush it off.
“Sorry I didn’t mean to get all serious on you, what I meant was he’s a real nice guy.”
“No no, back it up, what happened, I know ya got kicked off the cloud n all but, what’s that gotta do with my lil snake?” Emily sighed and explained everything.
“Sirpentious and I became great friends and he’d tell me all about this place, and I’d talk about how I wanted to help with redemption ya know. Of course we’d talk about much more casual things but, Sera didn’t like that I was spending any time around him. He gave me directions on how to get through the pride ring safely for ‘just in case’ purposes….He also told me to tell you that he misses you.” Cherri looked wide eyed at Emily and smiled downing her drink.
“Well they better not hurt him, he ain’t done nothing and neither did you.”
Angel came running over to the girls holding his phone.
“We gotta get outta here now!”
“What, why, Angie, what's wrong? Did that freaky moth find ya?” Asked Cherri Nonchalantly, Angel grabbed her by the arm and pulled her off the stool along with emily.
“No, worse. I’ll explain outside but we have to get outta here!” Cherri knew the ex mafia man was serious when he said ‘worse’, hustling out of the bar Angel started going what he knew as the back way.
“We gotta get to the hotel now!”
“The fuck is happening, Angie? Why are we going this route?”
“Some exorcists are attacking the hotel!”
“WHAT!?!” Emily and Cherri yelled out in unison.
“Yeah I got a weird text from Nifty say’n ‘the angels are back for revenge’. She sent me a picture too” He flashed his phone showing a picture of a guild of exorcists turning the place upside down. This had them all hurrying their pace.
“Why in Satan’s left nut sack are they back for? Is it bc lil bug killed their leader and Vaggie cut off that one bitch’s arm?”
“I don’t know but it ain’t good!”
The closer they got the louder the noise got and the more worried they became wondering why the exorcists were here. It had only been a few months since their last extermination unless they were doing it early again! When they arrived they went in through the back way since exorcists were most likely blocking the main entrance. The ground shook like a war zone, yelling, crashing, screams, and much more echoed through the lot.
Making their way inside everything was a mess, furniture being thrown left and right or being used as a barricade. Charlie, Alastor and Vaggie seemed to be manning down the fight, more of the angels were down than demons. This didn’t stop Cherri from throwing one of her bombs to grant the three a distraction long enough to regroup. The bomb sent many of the angels flying back. Just out of the corner of her eye Emily saw an exorcist grab Nifty. She didn’t know what did it but something in her snapped. Without a second thought her sword materialized into her hands and she charged! Impaling the angel, right through the stomach. A dark purple aura that erupted into an inferno as she yelled out.
“LET GO OF MY FRIENDS!” The demons in the room looked over in shock, the floating horns grew larger, her eyes turned completely violet, the eye at the center of her chest changed to reflect the fire. Her nails sharpened while her body turned almost ghost-like translucent. Her shirt ripped open revealing a stomach mouth which had multiple sharp teeth. Her screams were that of a banshee. Pulling her sword out of the now dead exorcists she turned to the others who survived the blast and growled out.
“WHO THE FUCK IS NEXT?!”
Many of the angels seemed to back down as she stepped towards them. The only one to approach was Lute, new arm and all.
“Come with us.” The lieutenant demanded, Emily sneered at her, readjusting her grip on her sword.
“Why the fuck would I do that?”
“I’ve been sent down here with orders to bring you back. Now come with us.”
“From who?”
“Sera”
“No fucking way I believe that shit, if she wants me that bitch can come down herself.”
“Don’t you wanna see your sister? Anyone would jump at the chance for this. She wants to see you,” At first Emily’s eyes softened, she still missed her sister, she missed her old life. She wanted to believe this was her chance.
“Now come on, she’s waiting for you. And I know damn well you don’t really wanna be stuck down here with these freaks. They’ve already infected your mind and we don’t need you falling into their hands anymore than you already have.” This seemed to tick Emily off, she readjusted her grip on her sword as her expression went cold.
“If my sister loved me shouldn’t have put me down here in the first place. And these ‘freaks’ have been much kinder than any of you or the others up in heaven have ever been.” The more she talked the brighter the fire burnered, trails of it slithered towards the silver haired leader making her step back.
“Go tell that traitor that if she wants me back she’d better beg on her knees herself.” Emily finished by holding the tip of her sword towards Lute’s neck. Lute called off the group and they retreated back to the skies once again. As they left Emily began to calm down, going back to her ‘original’ form and looking around at the damage.
“They caused all this trouble just to get me back?”
“Yeah they did” Replied Vaggie as she carefully approached, Emily pushed back her hair as the adrenaline began to fade and her emotions mixed.
“I’m so sorry. You guys didn’t need to be dragged into this, you just got this place fixed up.” She apologized, while the others gathered themselves.
“It's alright, you didn’t know they’d do that. But wow I didn’t know you could do that, Em!” Charlie exclaimed proudly, Emily huffed as the fire dimmed and had extinguished itself.
“I didn’t either, something inside me snapped I guess.” Without missing a beat Lucifer came flying in.
“Shit shit! Shit sorry I’m late what the fuck happened, is everyone alright?” His questions flew just as fast as he did.
“We’re mostly alright, dad, a few scratches and cuts but I think we’ll be alright. The exorcists came to bring Emily back. Because she was out with Angel-Dust and Cherri, they thought we were hiding her. Though she managed to scare them all off when she got back.” An angry expression flashed on his face as he grabbed his phone.
“D-dad what are you doing?” Charlie inquired, Lucifer held up a finger gesturing for her to wait. Punching in numbers on the keypad there was a dialing noise and a “What do you want lucifer” Before the king went off.
“Listen here Sera there’s an agreement set in place last time I checked you 1 leave hell borns alone and 2 not vengeance calls. Now why in the fuck did I just come to the hotel a wreck because you put your exorcists up on a seek and destroy mission to get Emily! If you want her to come and get her yourself, you piss poor excuse for a sister!” And with that he hung up, the room was pin drop silent as Lucifer whipped his hand around to fix up the hotel with his magic.
“There, now I should be expecting some news either tomorrow or sometime this week.”
Well he wasn’t wrong as now Emily was getting ready for a meeting in hell only a few days since the storming. She couldn’t shake this feeling in her stomach, was Sera really coming down here to get her back? Why was she doing this? Did she even want to go back? Sure heaven was her original home, the place she had grown up in, and she didn’t know anything else but. What if she didn’t want to leave hell? Sure she’d definitely miss Sirpentious but its obvious he’d know what had happened by now.
“You ready, Em?” Asked Charlie, Emily nodded, grateful she didn’t have to attend this meeting alone even if Lucifer was in charge. Charlie and Vaggie had put in just as much work to help her adjust. She also took the polar bear plush with her, she hardly left without it since it had become a source of comfort for her. Of course it was named peppermint.
Arriving at the castle, Emily wasn’t sure Sera would even show up. Though when the portal from heaven opened in the meeting room she adjusted herself in her seat, hiding peppermint in her lap giving him a gentle squeeze.
“Apologies if I’m late, I had to organize a few things before leaving.” The woman stated softly while taking her seat, another angel beside her as an escort.
“No worries, Sera, glad you could make it.” Replied Lucifer, tipping his hat in acknowledgement.
“Let's get this meeting going shall we, so Sera you sent a group of exorcists down here to bring Emily back. May I ask why?”
“I realized I had made a major mistake and misstep in how I went about things. And I wanted to apologize.” Sera answered hesitantly, Lucifer raised a brow at this and continued his questioning.
“Oh and what would that be?” But Sera couldn’t answer instead she dodged.
“I shouldn’t have done it, and as her sister I’m sorry.”
“That’s not what I asked, Sera.” Lucifer stated firmly, he knew she was dodging him and pressed for her true reasoning.
“I think it's only fair for you to fully admit to your wrong doings if you’re trying to ask for forgiveness. You wouldn’t come all this way just for a quick ‘i’m sorry’, and I’m sure you know what you’ve done.” The high Seraphim shifted in her seat clearing her throat, nodding.
“R-right of course, ahem. I shouldn’t have gone through your room and your journal nor should I have accused you of endangering heaven’s people, E-Emiliana. It was wrong, I’m deeply sorry.” Emily’s lips pressed into a thin line, Sera hardly used her full name, the only one who was ever allowed to use it was God. She never let anyone else call her that and Sera knew that. There was a hint of insincerity in her voice almost as if she had rehearsed this.
“What’s wrong Emily?”
“Sera….why are you really apologizing?” Sera seemed taken aback by Emily’s sharp tone, her eyes narrowed as if she’d burn a hole into her soul. A nervous sounding chuckle came from Sera.
“Wh-what do you mean, I-”
“Are you truly sorry for what you put me through or are you doing this to save face?” Emily interrupted coldly.
“No no, I really am sorry, Emily, please I-I know what I did was-was a little extreme-”
“A little?!” Everyone in the room jolted at the young seraphim’s abrupt exclaims.
“You chained me in the meeting room while you refused to listen to me, denounced our relationship, and allowed for the others to assault me out of heaven. Do you have any idea what they did to me before they tossed me down like trash?”
“W-we didn’t want you trying to make your way back up, I didn’t think they’d go so far-”
“Of course you didn’t think Sera, you take all of the responsibility claiming I’m too naive to handle things when I don't even know how things work! I was beaten, stabbed, my clothes were ripped, my wings were mangled, I was touched. By the time it was a miracle a kind overlord found me when he did. I could have died Sera. You left me for dead!” Her hand balled into a fist onto the table as she stood up.
“If you expect me to accept a measly ‘i’m sorry’ from you, then you are painfully mistaken and more of an idiot than I thought you were.”
“Please Emily, didn’t mean for any of it to happen, I didn’t mean any of what I said.” Sera pleaded, reaching out a hand towards Emily. The fallen angel shook her head pulling her hand away and asked.
“I’ll ask again, Seraphiana, are you going to such lengths to give some smidgen of an apology?” As this question came out the violet colored fire began to appear as did the horns from the day prior. Sera leaned back in her seat and the escort angel got in front of her. Charlie contemplated calming Emily but Lucifer shook his head at her and motioned for her and Vaggie to step back in precaution.
“Well. I…”
“Out with it.” Emily hissed, almost shaking in anger.
“Calm down my child” A booming voice called out, everyone froze and looked to find the source of the noise.
“Lucifer my son, place your phone on the table, please” Lucifer quickly pulled out his cellphone and placed it on the table confusedly.
“F-Father?” He inquired with a raised brow.
“Yes son, it is I your father. Sorry to intrude in so suddenly and through your phone of all things but, when I got word of this I had to tap in some how.”
“I-its quite alright father, wait…Are you back?”
“Yes I am, sorry for such a long absence, but now that I’m in a better place to hear everything. I will say, "I expect you all in my office at once!” Now everyone one scared.
