Episode Ten: The Living World

The sounds of police sirens alert Stolas.

Stolas blinks his red eyes, realizing that he’s in the alleyway of Los Angeles.

“Shit,” Stolas utters before noticing the group out of it from flying through the portal. He hurries to pull them aside in the darkness of the alleyway. Charlie is the first one to snap out of her trance to realize that she’s in the dirty alleyway full of graffiti.

“Where are we?” Charlie questions while looking around the place.

“We are in the living realm, your highness,” Stolas responds.

Moxxie and Millie manage to grasp their surroundings along with Angel, Bella, and Nifty.

Charlie smiles brightly. “Oh my gosh! This is where we get most souls from!”

“Yes, and if you don’t want them to notice our differences or be hunted down by demon hunters, you have to blend in. Like this, princess,” Stolas demonstrates by transforming into a human. “See? Although, you look like a human the most out of everyone here. Just need a little bit of make-up.”

Charlie’s red eyes sparkles. “Ooh!”

Angel tilts his head in confusion. “Wait, what about the rest of us?”

“Well, I’m afraid that without my Grimoire, I won’t be able to provide human disguises for you all. Although, both you and Bella can retract your limbs to make yourselves more like human. You’ll be seen as furries. I’m more worried about Nifty here.”

“What about Moxxie and Millie?” Charlie asks.

“Don’t worry about us, your highness,” Moxxie calls in a feminine tone.

The others turn their attention to Moxxie and Millie. Moxxie and Millie are dressed in casual human clothes with Moxxie wearing a black tank-top and tight black sweatpants with a cute hairstyle while Millie wears a beanie, an oversized black jersey shirt of a basketball team, and dark gray shorts that are pants to her.

Stolas stares for a moment and then nods. “See? They got it.”

Nifty looks up at Stolas with her one red eye. “Can I stab people?”

“Uh, no,” Stolas responds while taking out the backpack. “How about you get in this backpack instead, hm?”

“Ooh! Backpacks!” Nifty exclaims in excitement, jumping into the backpack.

Stolas zips up the backpack and gives it to Angel. “Here, you carry her around.”

“Ugh, fine,” Angel groans while getting the hoodie hanging on the wall besides the clothes shop and retracts his bottom two arms into his body.

Bella copies Angel and gasps in shock that she’s able to do it this whole time.

Stolas leads the group out of the alleyway. “We must look for the others. But first, let’s try to find a way for everyone to fit in. Let’s go.” They head through the city, searching for disguises for the others.

~.~

“Where are we even going?” Nora groans as Blitz is leading the group consisted of Loona, Octavia, Rosie, Sebastian, Eleanor, Alastor, Vaggie, Husk, Fizz, and Cherri.

“There’s always campsites in these woods for humans. Maybe there’s a campsite we can stay out that might be empty with plenty of food,” Blitz responds.

“It’s been a couple of days and we haven’t eaten,” Alastor points out.

“We can always eat each other,” Rosie responds with a manaical smile.

“No, God, no! We’re not eating each other!” Blitz barks at Rosie.

Husk notices Fizz staring at the ground without looking at where they’re going. “You okay?”

Fizz shoots a glance up at Husk and sighs. “Yeah, I’ll be fine. Really, I’ll be fine...I just...miss Oz, you know.”

Husk frowns and pats his shoulder. “I know, kid.”

“Do you think Ozzie is going to be okay?” Fizz asks Husk in concern.

“I--I don’t know,” Husk responds sadly.

Fizz notices Husk looking away. “Um, I’m sorry about Angel Dust. I’m sure he’ll be fine.”

“I hope so too,” Husk responds.

Nora sighs and looks up at Vaggie, who seems tensed up. “I’m sure Charlie and Bella are going to be fine.”

“I hope so too. But I swear if a hand is laid on both of them, I’ll fucking kill whoever their captors are,” Vaggie growls, not intentionally at Nora.

Nora lifts her head up with determination. “I’ll help you bury the bodies.”

Vaggie looks at Nora and huffs a laugh. “Thanks, kid. I’m going to need all the help I can get.”

“We’ll join you,” Sebastian says.

“Don’t worry, we are experts at burying bodies,” Eleanor reassures Vaggie. “Just don’t get on our bad side and we’ll be completely fine.”

Vaggie widens her eye. “I’m not sure if that makes me feel better.”

“Guys! We’re here!” Blitz announces to the group. The group looks ahead to find a camp full of teenagers doing various of extracurricular activities with camp counselors watching them.

“Ugh, teenagers. The worse,” Blitz responds with a groan.

“Not any worse than losing the one you love,” Fizz replies sadly.

Blitz glances at Fizz worriedly. “You doing okay, pal?”

“Ooh! Fresh skins and meat,” Rosie responds, showing her sharp teeth. “Let’s eat them all.”

“I’ll dice them,” Alastor says while pulling out a knife.

"We'll cook them!" Eleanor replies happily, pulling her blushing husband by her side.

“No, goddamn it!!” Blitz shouts at them. “You’re going to make a bigger mess than there already was. No. We need to blend in with the camp.”

“I’m sorry, what now?” Alastor responds.

“Yeah, you, an ex-exterminator thing, and this cannibal bitch can blend in with the humans perfectly,” Blitz suggests with a small smile.

Vaggie arches a brow. "You mean fallen angel?"

"Yes, that too," Blitz says to Vaggie.

“Wait, how do you know that I’m a fallen angel--?”

“Because you’re holding a fucking angelic spear. Don’t think I don’t notice that when we first met. I don’t know how anyone in Hell didn’t catch that,” Blitz interrupts Vaggie’s sentence. “I’m surprised your girlfriend didn’t notice it.”

“Oh, she knows,” Vaggie responds.

“We all know,” Alastor adds. “We just never made any comments on it.”

“Wait, what?” Vaggie questions. “I thought I was doing a good job hiding it!”

“Not so much, I’m afraid. I’m surprised that Charlie was the last to know this,” Alastor responds.

“Wait, wait, Charlie is the last to know?! Was it that obvious?!” Vaggie questions her friends.

“Yes, my dear,” Alastor responds.

Husk raises his hand. “Hey, I was thinking of telling Charlie about you before all of this shit with the exterminators went down, but this guy here says to not say a word since we figured that Charlie might know back then.” He refers to Alastor, who has his grin stretched proudly.

“And poor Charlie becomes desperate for my help that we shook on it,” Alastor responds.

“Wait, what?” Rosie questions.

“We shook on a deal. Of course, I don’t have Charlie’s soul since she’s Hellborn,” Alastor responds with a little wave of his hand.

Before Alastor continues on to brag about it, he feels the sudden cyan chain around his neck and is pulled back into the woods.

“Okay, okay, team, we need to focus on how to blend in with the humans,” Blitz tries to get everyone’s attention.

However, Husk has witnessed Alastor being pulled back into the woods in a quick manner and Rosie is nowhere in sight.

Husk sneaks into the woods while Blitz makes a plan for the group. He hears familiar voices whispering in the woods until he manges to find Rosie and Alastor. Alastor has a cyan-colored chain around his neck. Alastor is no longer wearing his usual grin, the fear in his yellow eyes is something that Husk has never seen before. He hides behind the tree to overhear their conversation.

“What the fuck was wrong with you?” Rosie questions Alastor harshly.

“I don’t have her soul, Rosie. I would never take her soul---”

“But she’s chained to you,” Rosie snarls. “Look, you can make deals with the cyclops maid or that gambling beast, but you don’t ever touch her. That’s the contract you signed, dear Alastor. You’re supposed to make sure her hotel is running smoothly. You’re supposed to keep her safe. She is off-limits when it comes to making deals with her.”

“I swear, Rosie, I don’t have her soul,” Alastor responds, trembling in fear now.

Husk witnesses Alastor shaking like the leaves up on the trees. He has never seen Alastor this fearful before. It’s almost like a small payback for all the fear Alastor causes Husk, but Husk can’t feel any remotely happy about what Alastor going through.

“When did this dealing take place?” Rosie growls at Alastor, tugging at his chain.

“When she found out that Vaggie used to be an exterminator,” Alastor cries in fear. “She just wants to save her own damn hotel and people--”

“And you took advantage of that,” Rosie snarls. “If I ever hear or see you making deals with her again, I’m going to make sure that the legend of the Radio Demon ceases to exist. You hear me?”

“Yes, yes, I promise I will never make deals with her again!” Alastor screams in fear, his radio tone now becoming real and raw, tears streaming down his face.

“Good,” Rosie responds sadistically. The cyan chains fade from Alastor’s neck. He’s risen on his feet as his legs wobble. Rosie notices Alastor’s frown and helps him stretch the corners of his mouth into a grin.

“You know, you’re never fully dressed without a smile, dear,” Rosie says, going back to her peppy tone.

Alastor’s grin is back on his face, glued on like a mask.

Husk breathes heavily when they notice him eavesdropping them. He bolts through the woods, trying to get away from them.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” Husk whispers to himself, trying to run back to the group. “WAIT UP, GUYS!!”

Before he can get any attention from the group, the green chain is wrapped around his neck, causing him to slip and fall back on the ground with a yelp.

He’s being pulled back into the woods as he struggles in his chains.

Husk glances at the chains, watching Alastor pulling at them with his staff and hands.

“You know it’s rude to eavesdrop,” Alastor responds in a threatening matter.

Husk breathes heavily. “I-I was just worried about where you both were--”

“Oh, don’t play the fucking sympathy card, Husk. You know you want to get out of my chains for a while now. I know you. I can sense you trying to get out my chains. You tried all the rings of Hell to get free from your chains, only to find yourself completely hopeless. Did you really think that I’m that stupid?!” Alastor growls at Husk, pulling his face close to his angry tone behind his glued on grin.

“P-Please--”

“You of all people should know that I always know where you are at all times. You are the only overlord that knows that has shared powers with me and you are the only overlord that knows that I’m the one on the leash. Don’t make me kill you like the rest of those overlords who cross me. I have your soul, remember?”

Husk can feel his soul being crushed, choking on the green chains. “Al, you need to break your c-chains--”

“Be fucking glad Angel isn’t here. Otherwise, I’d rip his soul right out in front of you if you ever cross me again! Slowly and painfully. Then after I kill him, I’ll kill you. I’ll make sure yours and his screams are broadcasted on my radio daily. Don’t ever fucking cross me again, you understand?” Alastor growls, his unhinged smile turns demonic.

Husk starts to tear up in fear, nodding his head quickly.

“Hey, what the fuck is going on here?” Cherri’s voice echoes behind Husk.

Alastor glances up to see Cherri standing there with her eye glaring at him. He throws Husk onto the tree next to them as he storms by her.

“You saw nothing,” Alastor snarls at Cherri and heads back to the group.

Rosie walks by Husk with a small soft look and then walks by Cherri, giving her a friendly wave.

Cherri runs by Husk, which she notices him breathing heavily in panic.

“Hey, mate, are you okay?” Cherri asks Husk in concern.

Husk starts to spiral in his mind. He can hear his heart thumping from his eardrums. He looks to the sky as if he’s trying to keep his head above the waters. He places a paw over his heart to feel his heartbeat growing faster and faster. He breathes heavier as if he has run a mile.

“Husk! Husk, what’s wrong?!” Cherri’s voice is muffled by the ringing sounds in his ears.

Husk can hear his own breathing growing rapid, clutching at the leaves on the ground with his other paw to keep himself grounded. But even grabbing at the leaves didn’t stop his mouth from becoming dry.

“W-Water--” Husk utters, his voice dry.

“Water?” Cherri questions, watching Husk gripping his chest. She stands up quick. “Stay here, I’ll get you help. Hold on!” She rushes through the woods, leaving Husk alone with nature.

Husk starts to sob, tears leaking out of his eyes. The pain in his chest worsens when he starts sobbing.

“What the fuck is going on?!” he hears Vaggie’s voice, but he can barely distinguishes the words.

“I don’t know! Alastor might have threatened him or something! I don’t know what’s going on!” Cherri’s voice echoes in his ears.

Vaggie peers into his vision, shaking his shoulder.

“Husk? Husk?! Are you okay?! What’s going on?” Vaggie calls out, her voice still muffled from the ringing in Husk’s ears.

Husk can’t even answer, tearing up more.

Vaggie takes deep breaths on her own and sits next to him. “Okay, okay, big guy. It’s okay, we’re right here.”

Cherri sits next to Husk, giving him a glass of water. “Here, I got you some water.”

Husk raises his arm up slightly, grabbing the water and drinking it with large gulps.

“Don’t drink too fast,” Vaggie cautions Husk calmly.

Husk drinks the water to help his parched throat as Cherri takes the glass from him.

“It’s okay, Husk,” Vaggie replies. “Just take deep breaths. Like this.” She shows Husk deep breaths she’s taking. Husk’s eyes move to see it, and he attempts to take deep breaths.

“There you go, big guy. You’re doing great,” Cherri replies softly. “Keep going.”

Husk takes deep slow breaths. His breathing is becoming more easy, no longer choking on air. He blinks his eyes and before finally hearing everything in nature without his ears ringing. However, he breaks down crying, hiding his face from the girls.

“Hey, hey, are you okay? What’s going on, Husk?” Vaggie asks.

“That fucking maniac,” Husk chokes out, feeling Cherri’s hand rubbing his shoulder.

“Yeah, it seems like he threatened you,” Cherri responds. “Are you okay with telling us what happened?”

“I don’t want to remember it,” Husk whimpers, afraid to slip back to panicking.

“Okay, okay,” Vaggie responds softly. “You don’t have to say anything. Okay, just keep taking deep breaths.”

Husk keeps taking deep breaths and sobs into his thighs, earning rubs on his shoulders from both Vaggie and Cherri.

“You’re doing great, Husk,” Cherri reassures him.

“Yeah, you’re doing great,” Vaggie adds.

Husk finally calms down, looking up to see nature again. He glances at the ladies comforting him.

“You okay now?” Cherri asks.

Husk wipes his tears away and nods. “Y-Yeah.”

“Good,” Vaggie responds while looking around the woods. “The others are waiting for us. You want to wait a little or--?”

“No, I’m fine,” Husk responds, getting up from the ground. “Let’s go.”

Cherri and Vaggie got up with unsure glances at each other. They follow Husk through the woods to get back to the group.

“Okay, open your eyes,” Stolas, disguised as a human, commands excitedly after doing make-up on Charlie’s face.

Charlie opens her eyes and the first thing she sees is the reflection of her face that isn’t so pale. Her blushes are covered by the light skin foundation. Her eyes are still the same and she has her red suit still.

“Wow,” Charlie responds. “This feels weird.”

“I know. It’s something to get used to. I also have contacts to make your eyes blue,” Stolas responds while holding out blue eye contacts. “Hold still.”

Charlie did as Stolas puts blue eye contacts in her eyes. Now she’s a blonde woman with blue eyes. “Are you sure this is how normal girls look?”

“Oh believe me, your highness. It’s quite a common around here,” Stolas responds with a wave of his hand.

“Ugh, what a basic bitch,” one of the women with dark hair responds while walking by with a group of her girl friends of brunettes.

Stolas watches them pass by while chuckling nervously. “It’s still quite common around here. And must I say, you look stunning, your highness.”

Charlie smiles nervously. “Thanks.”

“Uh, I’m not sure you should go out looking like that,” Moxxie’s voice interrupts them.

Charlie and Stolas watch Angel walking out of the alleyway with a short small-size sweater that only goes down pass his chest fluff barely. He has a white and pink shirt underneath it with tight shorts wrapped around his thighs. He still has his high heels on, clicking on the concrete.

“How do I look, Charls? Do I look sexy or somewhat blending in to everyone in society?” Angel says, striking various of poses.

Moxxie steps out with Angel and looking at him up and down. “Angel, this could attract attention from other people. We are looking to blend in, not attract attention.”

“Bitch, I attract attention 24/7, what the hell are you talking about?” Angel responds with a sassy tone.

Moxxie sighs in discouragement while slapping a palm against his forehead.

“Ooh!” Angel gasps and looks at Charlie. “This sweaters got a hoodie and look!”

He tilts his head down and pushes up the small cat ears on the hoodie while saying, “Meow, meow.”

Stolas arches a brow in confusion. “Uh.”

“I can be Husky’s twin!” Angel responds happily. “The only thing missin’ is the red color. Which I got!”

Angel whips out the red bandana and wraps it around his eye that has only purple pupils while leaving his normal eye alone. “Bam! Now our colors are matched.”

Bella stumbles out of the alleyway, her make-up done to look somewhat normal and wearing a hoodie to cover her blonde pigtails.

Millie smiles while walking out with the little girl. “Look who’s ready to fit in!”

Bella has an oversized navy blue hoodie with blue pants.

“AWWWW!!!” Charlie coos. “You are so adorable.” She picks Bella up with a hug.

Stolas straightens up, smiling to see Charlie hugging Bella like a mother and a daughter relationship. “Aw, it’s nice to see this relationship grow, wait, where’s Nifty?”

“In this backpack,” Angel shows the cute Mickey Mouse brand backpack.

“Heh-heh, I want to kill someone,” Nifty responds with a maniacal chuckle.

“That’s a no,” Angel responds. “Now, let’s go find Husky and the others!” Angel skips off to look for Husk.

“Off we go then,” Stolas responds while the group follows after Angel.

Charlie carries Bella in her arms as Bella looks up at her with a frown.

“I-I’m sorry,” Bella replies in a croaked tone.

Charlie glances down at her. “For what?”

“F-For lying.”

Charlie frowns and cradles her more. “I know why you did.”

“Do you hate me now?”

“No, sweetheart,” Charlie responds. “I don’t hate you. You are still cherished by me and Vaggie. We still want to adopt you now more than ever to get you out of that abusive environment. If you want to, of course--”

Bella hugs Charlie, cuddling her head. “Can I call you Mommy and call Vaggie Mama?”

Charlie smiles. “Of course, sweetheart.”

Stolas overhears the conversation with a soft gaze at Charlie and Bella. Then he frowns and takes out his gold pocketwatch and opens it to see the picture of him and his daughter as a child. A sigh escapes his lips.

“Don’t worry, Via, we’ll find you and the others,” Stolas replies to himself.

~.~

Blitz puts on his yellow polo shirt in the cabin outside of the camp. “Alright, fuckers! We got shit to do and cabins to take over.”

“It would all be easier if we kill some mindless teens and counselors,” Alastor responds, wearing the camp counselor uniform with a deadpan stare despite his stretched grin.

“And eat them and their corpses,” Rosie responds with a small smile in her own camp counselor uniform.

“For the last fucking time, that’s a no!” Blitz scolds both of them.

“Do we really have to wear these costumes?” Husk responds, noticing the tightness around his shoulders and arms while wearing the uniform.

“Just pretend to be the main mascot since this mostly a black cat in the hat thing--”

“I don’t look anything like that thing!” Husk responds while holding up the poster picture of a live action version of Cat in the Hat.

“Hey, these uniforms ain’t that bad,” Cherri responds, noticing the tightness of her rear from the tan shorts and the yellow polo shirt tuck into it. She has a ball-cap on backwards. “I’m definitely going to fuck up this campsite with explosives.”

“If you want to have any hope of taking shelter in the cabins, then don’t blow shit up,” Blitz responds.

“Aww,” Cherri responds dejectedly.

Vaggie looks at her yellow polo shirt, realizing how tight the shirt is around her breasts and the shorts are around her rear. “Well, shit.”

Blitz peeks out the cabin doors. “Alright, Operation Camping Trip is a go. Loona, do your stuff.”

Loona transforms herself into a human.

“Hey, Dad taught me this trick, watch,” Octavia responds, turning herself into a human with her outfit being the same, but she has a rounder face and smoother jawline.

“Shit, that’s cool,” Loona gasps in fascination.

“Yeah, you both look good,” Blitz compliments with a bright smile. “Now, let’s get out there and blend in the crowd.”

Fizz arches a brow since he’s the only one without the uniforms on. “What about me?”

“You get to entertain the kids by being the clown,” Blitz responds.

“Fuck you,” Fizz argues with Blitz.

“Fuck you, first,” Blitz responds with a smirk.

“Are you sure we shouldn’t kill these vulnerable targets?” Alastor replies while holding up one of the five naked camp counselors by his matted hair. Alastor places a knife against the camp counselor’s throat.

“And then we can eat their flesh for food,” Rosie brings up.

“For fuck’s sake, do I have to put you two on a leash?!” Blitz responds with the sass.

“Let’s just go,” Loona replies to Octavia as both of the girls walk out disguised as humans. Husk follows after them with Fizz and Cherri. Rosie and Blitz exit next, leaving Vaggie alone with Alastor.

Vaggie swiftly turns to Alastor. “What the fuck did you say to Husk earlier?”

“Whatever do you mean, dear?” Alastor questions Vaggie.

“Cherri says that you’ve threatened Husk over something. What were you threatening Husk over?” Vaggie probes with a snarl.

“Oh, please, there’s nothing wrong,” Alastor reassures Vaggie.

“Then the why the hell is Husk having a panic attack after your talk with him?” Vaggie asks with a snarl.

“Husk is getting emotional lately. Maybe that’s his problem, not mine,” Alastor responds, walking passed her.

She turns around to watch Alastor walking away. “Ugh, that fucker.”

She exits the cabin and shut the door, leaving five passed out naked camp counselors to rot.

~.~

Stolas, Charlie, Bella, Millie, Moxxie, Angel, and Nifty are exploring around the city.

Charlie shows Bella the restaurants with all the same kinds the same food.

Moxxie and Millie explores the shops around the area with Millie holding a lingerie with a smirk at her husband, who’s blushing in the store.

Angel tries to see out of his one eye, but when he sees the porn stores, his eyes widen in shock at all the naked women on the posters. He frowns at the state they’re in until one buff man rushes by Angel.

“Nice tits, slut!” the man responds while slapping the ‘tits’ on Angel’s chest. The man freezes for a moment as soon as he feels fluffy fur under the tight small cat-hoodie. Angel clenches his jaw and then starts slapping the man around as an act.

“You listen here, fuckhead!” Angel sasses. “You better not touch my body unless you’re my boyfriend!”

“Uhhh, can I be your boyfriend?” the guy responds.

“Uh, a hard no, asshole,” Angel replies with his hands on his hips. “Now get the fuck away before I slap the shit out of ya.”

Nifty pops out from the bag with a psychotic smile, holding a knife, and frothing in the mouth. “And I get to fuckin’ kill ya!”

The man screams at Nifty and runs away, leaving them in awkward silence.

“Sooo, is Husk your boyfriend?” Nifty asks.

“Get back in the bag,” Angel responds with a blush.

Nifty shrinks back into the bag obediently.

Unbeknownst to the group, there are two agents, one male and one female. Both of the agents spot Moxxie and Millie.

“Holy shit, those guys are demons we captured a long time ago,” the male agent, Jasper, gasps in shock.

“Let’s fuckin’ get ‘em,” the female agent, Josephin, responds.

The agents hurry towards Moxxie and Millie. Before the imp couple can react to being snuck up on, they are tased by Jasper and Josephin.

Stolas turns to notice the imp couple being dragged off by the agents. “Oh, shit!”

“What?” Charlie asks with Bella in her arms, approaching by Stolas and turning to look at what he’s looking at. She gasps when she sees Millie and Moxxie being dragged off.

“It’s those demon hunters again,” Stolas growls and storms through the crowd to get to them, but they are gone with Millie and Moxxie by the time they reach the spot where they saw the imp couple get taken.

“Shit!” Stolas curses.

Angel approaches the group with Nifty peeking out of the bag. “What happened?”

“Moxxie and Millie are taken,” Charlie answers Angel.

“Shit, really?” Angel questions in fear.

“This is the reason why we try to blend in with the human society as much as possible. The demon hunters are coming after the likes of us,” Stolas explains to the group.

“Then we need to get to them,” Charlie determines.

“I think I know where they might be taken. Chop-Chop, we got to get them,” Stolas responds as he leads the group to go after the agents that captured Moxxie and Millie.

~.~

Loona, Octavia, and Nora are fitting in with the students while Eleanor and Sebastian hides in the bushes from the sidelines to make sure Nora is okay.

However, Octavia has a crumpled up paper thrown at her. She blinks in confusion and looks at the paper to see the words written: “You’re hot.”

Octavia blinks in confusion and looks to see one of the teen boys waving at her to get her attention as if he’s the one who threw the paper at her. She blushes and hides herself under the beanie.

Nora notices this and looks at the note. Then she glares at the teen boy who throws the crumpled paper at her. “TELL THAT TO HER FACE, YOU FUCKING COWARD!”

Octavia widens her eyes in shock.

Loona hurries into the scene to back Nora away from the teen boys. “Okay, let’s not start a scene here.”

Vaggie watches over the girls to make sure they’re okay until one of the camp counselors smacks her on the butt.

She throws a glare over at the buff guy. “What the fuck?!”

“Can’t help but think you’re hot, toots,” one guy responds with a smirk.

“Ew, I already have a girlfriend,” Vaggie responds with a snarl.

“Yeah, a girl that’s a friend.”

“No, that’s my spouse, dumbass,” Vaggie replies.

“Are you sure about that, sweetheart?” the buff guy says as he leans closer to where his chest almost touches her breasts.

Husk gets in between Vaggie and the buff guy and pushes him away from her. “She says she’s already in a relationship, fuckhead. So why don’t you go scampering back to your buddies and get the fuck over yourself?”

The buff guy laughs at Husk. “Do you wanna fight?”

“Husk, no,” Vaggie groans.

“Give me your best shot, bitch,” Husk responds with a growl.

The guy throws a punch at Husk, who dodges and uses his claws to scratch up the guy in the torso. The guy stumbles back and catches some blood leaking from his wounds.

“What the--?”

Husk kicks the man in the face, knocking some of his teeth out. The man falls back onto the ground. Husk looks up to find other camp counselors looking at him in fear and shock.

Vaggie sighs with her fists on her hips. “You didn’t have to do that.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Blitz notices the scene unfolding. “Husk, my guy, you need to--” Suddenly, Blitz has been tased by one of the agents with sunglasses and suit.

Husk gasps to see the agents dragging Blitz away as he charges after the agents by spreading his wings and flying towards them.

“Husk, wait!” Vaggie calls, but Husk doesn’t hesitate and attempts to pick the agent that is dragging Blitz away.

Vaggie is ready to spread her wings until she sees Husk getting caught in the net.

Fizz and Cherri sees this from the other side of the camp with gasps.

Husk is pulled into the mysterious vehicle along with Blitz.

“NO!” Vaggie shouts before watching the vehicle taking off with Blitz and Husk instead of it. “Shit!”

Alastor, Rosie, Sebastian, Eleanor, Nora, Loona, and Octavia approach behind Vaggie. Cherri and Fizz hurry beside Vaggie.

“Shit!” Vaggie curses.

“How unfortunate,” Alastor responds with a sigh.

“Where the hell are they taking them?” Cherri responds.

Vaggie spreads her wings. “I’m gonna follow ‘em.”

“Yay! I’ll join!” Cherri responds.

“I’m in,” Fizz replies, ready to fight.

Octavia steps out from the group. “Can I come?”

“Sure,” Loona says. “I can sniff out their trail.”

Vaggie nods. “Good. Loona, you take the ground. I’ll take the skies. The rest of you stay at the camp. We’ll be back with Blitz and Husk.”

“Oh, not like we have amazing abilities that might help our friends out,” Rosie responds with a smirk.

“Don’t worry, dear,” Alastor replies to his female friend. “There’s some entertainment we can do while we’re here.”

“I suppose that’s true,” Rosie responds.

Nora steps up. “Can I come?”

“No, it’s too dangerous,” Sebastian warns.

“It’s safer for you to stay,” Eleanor adds.

“Yeah, I would stay with your parents, kid,” Vaggie suggests. “Don’t worry, we’ll be back with the others.” She looks at Loona, Octavia, Cherri, and Fizz. “C’mon.”

Vaggie flies up to the sky while Loona changes into her hellhound form and tracks down Husk’s and Blitz’s scents, getting Fizz, Cherri, and Octavia to follow after Loona.

They rush off into the woods, hoping to catch the silver truck.

~.~

Blitz groans awake from his knock-out and realizes that he’s in a lone room, tied to someone else. He looks over his shoulder to see Millie and Moxxie tied with him, blacked out.

“Oh, shit, Mox! Mills! Thank God, you’re both alive!” Blitz says in relief, struggling in his bonds. “We’re in this shithole again. We--”

The doors open, interrupting Blitz’s sentences. Blitz looks up to see the familiar two agents approaching them. “Oh, goddamnit, it’s you two again!”

“Been a while,” Jasper responds with a chuckle.

“Fuck you,” Blitz growls, hearing Mox and Millie groaning awake. “What do you want from us this time?”

“Oh, we just want you here until a certain higher-ups in the city come and check you out. We have footages of your existence, so they’re coming down here to see you. You three are the main attraction after all,” Josephin says with a growl.

“Well, shit,” Blitz utters in fear.

“Yeah, we still don’t know if your cat, uh, bird thing is part of your world but we got him since he’s fighting one of us,” Jasper blurts out.

“Oh shit,” Blitz gasps in fear. “Where did you put him?!”

“Somewhere you’ll never find him,” Josephin says with a snarl.

Meanwhile, Husk is trapped in the other room, being interrogated by another agent, who’s a bodybuilder type guy with gray hair.

“Soooo, what are you?” the guy asks.

“I don’t fucking know, man,” Husk responds, struggling in his binds.

“You have to know what kind of...species you are,” the man responds.

“Look, man, it’s been a rough past couple of days,” Husk begins with a groan. “So, why don’t you cut me loose and we can call it a day?”

“No can do,” the agent growls. “If you won’t tell us the truth of who you really are, then we’re going to have to use excessive force.”

“Excessive force? That better not be a sex innuendo,” Husk groans when he watches the agent leave the room. Unbeknownst to Husk, the agent presses the button that unleashes the ‘truth’ gas.

Husk watches the gas leak from the ground and the ceiling. “Oh, fuck, this is much worse. Hey! What the fuck is this--?!”

Husk’s vision changes to where his head is above the black waters. He starts to breathe heavily, trying to swim around the water until he feels the chain wrapped around his throat. He screams as he’s taken underwater, kicking his feet until everything goes black around him.

Husk reopens his eyes and notices that he’s laying in the middle of the meadow. He raises his head up and looks around to find the colorful butterflies around him. He blinks and looks to see Angel sitting on the large tree trunk in the middle of the woods, playing with the butterflies.

He groans and stands up, limping towards Angel. Angel is in his gold dress with his fur shiny in the sunlight.

“A-Angel?” Husk recognizes Angel.

Angel glances over his shoulders and smiles. “Hi, Husky.”

Husk looks around them and then shifts his gaze back to Angel. “Are we...redeemed?”

Angel turns to look at him. “No, silly. Not yet at least. Have a seat next to me.”

Husk takes a seat next to him, watching the butterflies. “Where are we then if this isn’t Heaven?”

“It can be Heaven if you want it to be,” Angel responds with a small smile.

Husk hears the music starting as Angel gets up from the tree trunk.

Then he watches his angel start singing beautifully in the melody.

“I’ve been around the realms,

Sleeping next to strangers,

But none of them felt so real compared to you.

So, have you been feeling the same?”

Husk blinks in confusion and notices Angel offering his top hand out while singing.

“Fate has planned out my destiny, punishing me for my sins.

Yet you believe in me when I didn’t believe in myself, baby.

So, have you been feeling the same?”

Husk takes Angel’s hand as he’s pulled up to his feet. Both Angel and Husk starts to dance together while Angel singing his chorus.

“Oh, and I wish that,

I can be your music,

A beautiful melody in the acoustics.

I don’t need jewelry and diamonds,

When we can just watch the sunrise.”

Angel uses his bottom hands to hold Husk’s while his top set of his hands caress Husk’s fluffy cheeks, crooning.

“I wish you can see how much I want you.

Has love hurt you a long time ago?

Oh, you don’t have to be the overlord,

When you can be the last sinner left for me.”

Husk’s heart starts to flutter as they start dancing in the middle of the meadow, their surroundings becoming brighter.

Angel continues singing, his top set of his arms resting over Husk’s shoulders.

“I’ve been around the realms,

Pleasuring the wrong people.

But being with you has never been so real.

So, tell me are you feeling the same?”

Husk starts to nod his head, getting lost in Angel’s eyes. Angel hugs Husk, letting his arms wrap around his waist and his neck. Husk rests his chin on Angel’s shoulder as he continues to sing.

“Oh, you don’t have to fight so hard.

Baby, I’m right here when you need me.

All I want is who you are.

You’re a dream come true.”

Husk relaxes in Angel’s hold, hearing Angel’s voice singing his ears as he continues to dance.

“I can be your music,

A beautiful melody in the acoustics.

I don’t need jewelry and diamonds,

When we can just watch the sunrise.

I wish you can see how much I want you.

Baby, has love hurt you a long time ago?

Oh, you don’t have to be the overlord,

When you can be the last sinner left for me.”

Husk purrs while Angel pulls him away and puts him back on the ground. Then he starts to dance with him through the woods, butterflies fluttering around them as Angel sings the bridge of his song.

“Oh, and I wish that,

I’m the last sinner left for you.

Oh, and I wish that,

I’m the last sinner left for you.

Oh, I can be your music,

A beautiful melody in the acoustics.

I don’t want jewelry and diamonds,

When we can watch the sunrise.

Please, know how much I want you.

Love doesn’t have to hurt you anymore.

You don’t need to be the overlord.

When you can be the last sinner left for me.”

Angel and Husk dance together, staring into each other’s eyes before Angel sings his final verse.

“Oh, please know how much I want you.

Baby, love doesn’t have to hurt you anymore.

You don’t need to be the overlord,

When you can the last sinner left for me.”

From the outside of the smoke-filled interrogation room, Husk appears more calm without saying anything revealing to the agent, which confuses the agent.

“Uh, what the fuck?” the agent utters.

~.~

Blitzo and Millie starts chewing on their binds like wild animals much to Moxxie’s protest.

“Guys, we’re not going to get out of this,” Moxxie responds, trying to get out of his own binds.

“We’re going to have to try, Mox,” Millie responds, kicking her feet.

“Good luck with freeing yourselves, bitches!” Josephin says while maniacally laughing.

Meanwhile, Vaggie breaks into the agency and slides into the vent with Loona, Fizz, Cherri, and Octavia behind her.

“We’re in...though there’s not many agents around here surprisingly,” Vaggie responds.

“Oh yeah, we killed them all last time,” Loona states nonchalantly. “There might be only a few guarding this place.”

“Hopefully they’re not trained in combat,” Fizz says.

“Oh, they are,” Loona responds.

“That’s not helping,” Fizz quips.

Cherri wraps her arms around Fizz. “Don’t worry, I’ll blow them up.”

They hear creaking sounds.

“What the fuck is that?” Vaggie utters in fear before seeing Charlie, Bella, Angel, and Nifty jump into the room with Stolas behind them. “Holy shit! Charlie! Bella!”

Charlie and Bella notices Vaggie with gasps.

“Vaggie!”

“Mama!!!” Bella cries with her croaked voice.

Vaggie hugs both Bella and Charlie, kissing their faces to say she misses them. “I miss you both so much!”

“We miss you too, sweetheart,” Charlie utters while cuddling her girlfriend.

Octavia gasps when she sees Stolas. “Dad!”

Stolas and Octavia run towards each other, transforming themselves back to their original forms as owls with red eyes. They hug each other tightly.

“I thought I lost you,” Octavia utters tearfully.

“I’m so glad you’re safe,” Stolas responds while examining her face. “Are you hurt?”

Octavia shakes her head, tears streaming down her cheeks.

“Good,” Stolas responds softly.

Fizz jumps into Charlie’s arms. “Charlie! Thank God, you’re alive! How’s Ozzie?”

Charlie’s face distorts into a horror expression when asked about Ozzie. Remembering how Ozzie is tied down to the chair along with her father and Bee, getting their powers sucked out of them. She tries to form the words, but she doesn’t know how to tell Fizz.

“Charlie...is Ozzie okay?” Fizz asks almost desperately.

Charlie almost breaks down crying, comforted by Bella and Vaggie.

They hear footsteps coming to the front entrance.

“Shit, someone’s coming,” Vaggie utters in fear.

“Don’t worry, we can take them,” Loona responds.

“We still need to go after Blitz and Husk,” Cherri replies.

“Wait, Husk is here too?” Angel gasps in concern.

Stolas glances at Angel. “Angel, Nifty, you find Husk. Via and I will find Blitz, Moxxie, and Millie.” Stolas looks at Charlie, Loona, Vaggie, Bella, Cherri, and Fizz. “Can you handle them?”

“Yep, we can,” Charlie responds, her eyes turning red with white pupils, pushing her blue contact lenses out of her eyes and shakes the make-up off of her pale face.

“Good,” Stolas says and looks at his daughter. “C’mon, Via, I have a new lesson for you about your powers.”

“Ooh,” Octavia gasps in fascination as she goes with her father to find Blitz, Moxxie, and Millie.

“I’ll be back with Husky,” Angel responds with Nifty in the backpack, crawling through the vent.

“We’ll hold ‘em back for you, mate!” Cherri responds as the doors open, revealing more agents.

The agents charge at the group as the group left behind fights the agents off, leaving behind bloody messes.

~.~

Blitz struggles in his bond. “Fuck! We’re dead!”

Moxxie and Millie tries to get out of the ropes until Josephin laughs at their futile attempts.

“Soon enough, your whole existence will be broadcasted and people are going to believe us once and for all---”

The shadow hurries towards Josephin, possessing her.

“Uh, agent Josephin--” Jasper calls for his partner before seeing her head turn a 180 degree.

“Now, it’s your turn, Via.” Josephin speaks in Stolas’ voice.

“Uh, who--?” The shadow of Octavia possesses Jasper, struggling to control him.

“Dad, he’s a little hard to control,” Octavia says through Jasper’s voice.

“Don’t worry, he’ll succumb to your control eventually, my owlette,” Stolas responds while possessing Josephin.

It is then that Octavia manages to be in control of Jasper.

“Good,” Stolas replies in Josephin’s voice. “Now, watch this.”

Stolas, possessing Josephin, pushes the button. He controls her to come into the interrogation room, and Octavia follows suit of controlling Jasper into the room.

“What the fuck?” Blitz utters as he sees their ropes getting untied.

“Hello, Blitzy, miss me?” Stolas teases with Josephin’s voice, getting out of her body. Josephin’s body collapses on the floor, blacking out.

Blitz smiles in relief. “Stolas!” He leaps into Stolas’ arms. “Thank God, you’re alive!”

Octavia manages to phase out of Jasper’s body, letting him fall over and blacking out.

Moxxie and Millie stands up from their bounds.

“Where are the others?” Moxxie asks Stolas.

“Fighting the other agents at the front. Want to join them?” Stolas questions the imps.

“Oh hell yeah,” Blitz responds with a smirk at his tall boyfriend.

~.~

Husk and Angel chases each other through the fields, laughing together after Angel’s song.

“You have such a pretty voice,” Husk compliments.

“Why thank you, baby,” Angel replies.

“I want to stay like this forever,” Husk utters.

Angel smiles softly. “It can be.” He offers his hand again. “Take my hand and we can stay together like this forever. It can be whatever you want, baby.”

Husk is about to take Angel’s hand again until he hears the last sentence. “Wait, what the fuck did you just say?”

“It can be whatever you want, baby,” Angel repeats himself.

Husk backs away from Angel, tears streaming down his cheeks. “Shit...you’re not...you’re not real.”

“I don’t understand what you mean.”

“None of this is real,” Husk says tearfully. “I know where we are now. We’re in my fantasy. It’s so goddamn obvious.”

Angel tilts his head in confusion. “Husk. Are you okay?”

“You’re not the real Angel. You’re just in my head,” Husk responds, backing away from Angel creeping closer. “This is not the Angel I know of. Someone who makes sex jokes all the time. Someone who pretends to like whisky, but really, he wants a fucking martini. Someone who vents about how much Valentino treats him like shit. The real Angel would only say that if he’s wearing a fucking mask so that he can please everyone else. But he would never be like that around me!”

Angel blinks in surprise at Husk’s words.

“I want the real Angel. The real Angel who’s not afraid to get bloody. The one who’s not afraid to get his hands dirty. And I don’t mean that sexually. He’s the one who has grown more than what this dream shows. I want the real Angel back! I love that motherfucker!”

Husk gasps in realization, not aware that his surroundings are turning darker. “Holy shit.” He looks up at Angel, watching him almost torn apart. He sees tentacles taking over the environment. “Wait a minute. Angel isn’t the reason why I’m having these emotions. I mean, he’s part of it. My love...is the reason why these tentacles come up. Ever since we start opening up, there’s something pouring into me. Almost like all of these emotions are coming back to me the more I got closer to him.”

Husk feels the chain wrapped around his neck. “But I never got to tell him that at the mansion.” He starts tearing up, trembling. “What if he’s dead? Oh, God, no, Angel.”

He collapses on his knees, watching Angel disappearing into butterflies. “Oh, God, Angel. I’m so sorry. I’m so so sorry. Oh, God, please don’t die, Angel. Please, please.”

Husk starts sobbing in his dreams.

From the outside of the interrogation room, Husk is crying in his binds.

The agent blinks in confusion while eating popcorn. “Uh--” The agent is stabbed through the head by Nifty’s knife, causing him to fall back. The real Angel steps over his body.

“Nice one, Nifty,” Angel compliments before slamming the button to suck the gas out of the room. He opens the door and hurries to Husk, untying him.

“Husk, Husk, are you awake?” Angel questions urgently.

Husk flutters his eyes open, tears edging out of his eyes. “A-Angel?”

“Hey, Husky,” Angel replies while caressing Husk’s face to wipe away his tears.

“A-Angel?” Husk sobs. “I’m so sorry.”

“For what, silly?” Angel questions.

“For not--for not telling you how I truly feel about you before you died. For not telling I love you before you’re gone,” Husk says while sobbing.

Angel blushes and looks at Husk in confusion. He glances at Nifty, who shrugs her shoulders. Then he darts his gaze back at Husk.

“Bitch, I’m still alive!” Angel shouts at Husk, attempting to snap him out of it.

Husk groans, rubbing his eyes. “W-What?”

Angel lifts Husk up on his back with his face over his shoulder. He extends his bottom set of arms to hold Husk’s legs. “C’mon, Whiskers, let’s get you out of here.”

As Angel strides out of the interrogation, Husk gasps in shock.

“Shit, you are the real Angel,” Husk responds.

“The one and only. Now let’s bust-a-move,” Angel says while Nifty follows after them.

~.~

Angel hurries to the front of the agency while carrying Husk on his back and Nifty following his trail. “We’re almost there!”

Angel finally arrives at the scene to see most of the agents dead with their friends standing over the bloodied bodies.

Blitz shoots the last human trying to get up and looks at Angel, Husk, and Nifty. “Oh shit, hey, we totally didn’t slaughter them.”

Charlie’s smile brightens to see Husk. “Husk! Are you okay?”

“The gas fucked up my brain,” Husk groans, resting his chin on Angel’s shoulder.

“Well, let’s get the fuck out of here--”

The doors locked, interrupting Blitz’s sentence.

“SHIT! Not again!” Blitz screeches in shock.

Josephin and Jasper approach the scene with their guns.

“You demons need to stand down--!”

The black spikes stab through Josephin and Jasper in the chests. They fall forward, revealing Alastor behind them. His grin is stuck on his face. Alastor steps forward in between two dead agents.

“You’re welcome,” Alastor responds with chuckle.

Charlie smiles in excitement.

“I thought I told you to stay at the camp,” Vaggie replies with a groan.

“I got bored,” Alastor responds. “Besides, we got a camp we can take over now.”

“Wait, really?” Moxxie asks.

“Yes,” Alastor answers. “Should we be heading back?”

“I guess,” Vaggie replies.

“Alright, let’s go!” Alastor determines, pushing the button to unlock the front doors.

~.~

The group are taking paths back to the camp, led by Alastor.

Vaggie looks to see Charlie holding her hand while Bella is on her back. She cuddles her head against Charlie’s, the two women showing affection towards each other.

Cherri notices Fizz staring into space, seeming to be deep in thought about something. She frowns to realize that he must be worrying about Ozzie. She places a hand on Fizz’s metal shoulder.

“It’s alright, mate. We’ll find a way back to get Ozzie,” Cherri comforts Fizz.

Fizz starts to tear up. “How are we going to save him?"

“I don't know,” Cherri says solemnly.

Angel holds Husk’s legs while looking over his shoulder to find Husk falling asleep on his shoulder. A soft smile corners his face as he pets Husk’s head with his top hand, hearing Husk purrs at the touch.

Angel blushes to hear Husk purring and chuckles lightly.

“You like that?” Angel asks seductively.

Husk snaps open his eyes. “What?”

“What?” Angel responds.

Husk blinks his eyes to find they are deep in the woods. “We should be almost there.”

“Yeah,” Angel replies, his face red.

Nifty, Loona, and Octavia walk with Blitzo, Stolas, Moxxie, and Millie.

“Boy, what a day,” Blitz ignites the conversation. “We nearly died today.”

“That’s nothing new, sir,” Moxxie responds.

“Yep,” Millie drones in agreement with her husband.

“I say that it’s been an exciting adventure. The princess of Hell has never been to the living world, so it’s fun to show her the new realm,” Stolas replies.

Octavia stays close to her father with a small smile on her face.

“Glad we don’t have to deal with those demon hunters again,” Loona brings up.

“There might be more in different cities,” Moxxie states logically.

“Well, for what is worth, we might never be bothered again by the humans,” Alastor replies.

The others reach the campsite, which appears to be a bloody crime scene without any detectives and police involve.

“What the fuck?!” Blitz shouts in shock.

Rosie appears with blood all over her dress while Eleanor and Sebastian are burying the dead bodies of teens and camp counselors. “Oh, hello, Al!”

“What the fuck is this?!” Blitz shouts at Alastor.

“I did say that I grew bored,” Alastor replies.

“We’re having dinner tonight!” Rosie announces as she holds up a pot of with blood and limbs inside.

“Ah, there’s food that will satisfy our stomachs,” Alastor responds with a smile.

Blitz glances up at Alastor. “That’s fucked up, man.”

Husk hops off of Angel’s back and walks away. “Eh, I’ll just go. I’m not hungry.”

Blitz sighs before getting out his phone. “That’s it, we’re ordering pizza.”

“Sir, there’s no connection out here,” Moxxie informs quick.

“Then I’ll make some connection!” Blitz responds while walking away to order some pizza.

“Aw, you’re going to hurt Eleanor's feelings,” Sebastian responds.

Nora comes out while noticing Bella. She gasps and hurries to her.

Bella hops off of Charlie’s back.

“BELLA!” Nora calls before flying into Bella, picking her up and spinning her around. “I didn’t think I’m going to see you again.”

Bella smiles and hugs Nora. “Me too.”

Nora breaks away from Bella when she hears her croaked voice. She puts her down on her feet. “Are you okay?”

Bella nods in reassurance, cornering small smile.

Nora blushes at the way she’s holding Bella and lets go. “Oh, uh, sorry.”

“It’s good to see you again,” Bella replies with a blush.

Vaggie notices the exchange between Bella and Nora, widening her eye in shock at Nora’s change of demeanor around her adopted daughter. Then a smirk comes on her face.

“Well, how about that?” Vaggie mutters to herself. She looks to see Charlie tearing up at their interaction.

“They’re so cute,” Charlie utters.

Vaggie pats on her girlfriend’s back. “Let it all out, sweetheart.”

Blitz comes back to the group. “Got the pizzas! Should be arriving in about a hour or so.”

“Wonderful,” Stolas cheers.

~.~

Husk sits by the lake, watching his reflection in the water. His ears twitch to hear the voices at the campsite interacting.

He hears footsteps approaching him. He turns to look up at Angel, who has a plate of two pieces of pepperoni pizza.

“I thought you might be hungry,” Angel replies, sitting on the shore next to Husk.

Husk takes a slice and nibbles on it. “Thanks.”

Angel smiles and nods as he eats his own slice. “Beautiful night, isn’t it?”

Husk glances at the full moon reflecting in the water, gazing up only to see a few clouds drifting by. “Yeah, it is.”

They exchange glances at each other until they blush at the sight of each other. Then they face back at the horizon.

“So, what was up with that gas that made you think I’m dead?” Angel asks in curiosity.

“I thought you were for a while,” Husk responds. “Even before the gas.”

Angel frowns for a moment until he smiles. “Nope. Still alive and kicking. It’s going to take a lot more than bullets and beat-downs to kill me.”

“Please, don’t talk like that.”

Angel blinks in shock at Husk getting teary-eyed. “Oh, shit. You know I’m just flexing.”

“What if we get separated next time? What if those bastards kill you?” Husk questions, starting to get emotional. “What if Al hurts you?”

“Hey, hey, Al won’t hurt me--”

“He threatens to take your life at least twice!” Husk shouts, causing Angel to wince in surprise. He softens his gaze and sighs. “Shit. I’m sorry, Angel. I’m sorry. I don't know what's gotten over me lately. I'm sorry.”

Angel looks at the calm waters. After a brief moment of silence, he sighs. “Anthony.”

“What?”

“My real name is Anthony,” Angel responds. “Someone oughta know at some point.”

Husk is silent for a moment until he smiles softly. “Henry.”

Angel and Husk exchange gazes, scooting closer.

“I always wonder something, Henry.”

“Hm?”

“What were you like when you’re alive?”

Husk ponders for a moment and shrugs. “I was a lonely man and I died a lonely man. Gambling, drinking, and casinos are the only things I know in life. Never had relationships. Well, besides the ones who are just broads looking for cash by pretending to love and care about you. Eventually, you date enough of them to see right through them.”

“Shit, man,” Angel gasps.

“Yeah,” Husk responds with a chuckle. Then he looks up at Angel. “So, how about you, Anthony? What were you like when you’re alive? Are you just as horny alive as you are dead?”

Angel huffs a laugh. “Yeah. You guessed it. Family didn’t like the fact that I preferred cocks, so they disowned me. And of course, human me is devastated that he hopes to escape by taking a street drug. And...that’s how I made it to Hell.”

Husk frowns. “I’m sorry.”

Angel waves his hand. “It’s a long time ago. Besides, I never thought I come back to the living world. I miss it when everything is not on fire.”

“You and me both,” Husk responds. “And demons are not running amuck killing other people.”

“And be exterminated by exterminators,” Angel adds.

“Can’t forget that.”

They look up at the stars.

“Were you lying?” Angel asks Husk.

“Lying? About what?”

“About you loving me.”

Husk softens his gaze at him and shakes his head. “No...I’ve been feeling it for a while.”

There is a brief silence with Angel widening his eyes in shock.

“But if you don’t feel the same, that’s fine. I’m just an old man anyway--”

"You know, age gaps haven’t stop me from hitting on someone before,” Angel says with a smirk. "Besides I think we're about the same age. I think. Don't quote me on that. But even with a thirty-year gap, I still would hit that."

Husk huffs a laugh. “Don’t make me summon the tentacles.”

“Ooh, are you going to use them on me, daddy~? It's still kinky.”

"Shut up." Husk chuckles.

Angel giggles for a moment and looks at Husk, noticing the way his eyes reflect the stars and the moon. He blushes at the sight as the soft music comes up. He takes a deep breath and starts to sing.

“Sometimes I question my own belonging.

When I see you everyday at the hotel, I feel like I’m flying.

You’re a loser, but hey, I’m a loser too.”

Husk huffs up a small laugh when Angel mentions that they’re both losers, which lets Angel continue singing.

“And I am lost, hoping you would be my star.

That will guide me into your arms.

But the hard reality is, we are both chained.”

Husk frowns while rubbing around his throat. Angel smiles and stands up, offering his two hands.

“I’m just a sex addict.

You’re just a gambler.

Our brokenness is what ties us together.”

Husk takes Angel’s hands and is pulled up to dance with him. Angel gazes into Husk’s eyes as he continues to sing softly.

“Oh, was it foolish for me to believe

That you can love me for myself?

You’re a dream come true, a dream come true.

You are what I’ve been waiting for.”

Husk blushes at the words while he’s twirled around by one of Angel’s hands.

“It gets me high, it gets me fucking high.

You have brought a new side of me.”

Husk dances with Angel, listening to the music while he starts to sing after Angel.

“I thought I had no one to love, no one to care about me.

You came along and turned my world upside-down.”

Angel smiles softly at Husk with a blush while Husk continues to sing.

“But I thought it was all too good to be true, so easy to grasp.

And you would be crazy to fall for someone like me.”

Husk sweeps up Angel’s legs, carrying him up in a bridal style. He takes off, flapping his wings through the air as he sings to Angel.

“‘Cause I’m just a bartender.

You’re just an actor.

Our brokenness is what ties us together.”

Angel lets his hand touch the water, making a path of dispersing waves in his touch as Husk continues to sing.

“Oh, was it foolish for me to believe

That you can see someone to love in me.

You’re so lovely, you’re so lovely, baby.

You are the light in the dark.

You’re so heavenly, you’re so heavenly.

Can’t believe an angel like you brought out a new side of me!”

Husk flies up higher, disappearing in the clouds while both him and Angel starts singing together.

“And all I want is to be with you.

And all I want is to escape with you.

I can’t imagine my life without you.

Is it possible to break these chains?”

Angel croons in concern for Husk.

“Is it possible?”

Husk responds with a singing voice.

“I don’t know.”

Angel and Husk sings finally together.

“Tell me is it possible!”

Husk and Angel starts to dance in the skies, with the full moon behind them. Then they start singing together.

“We’re just losers, baby!

We’re just freaks!

But that’s what connects us, baby!

Oh, was it foolish for us to believe

That we can enter paradise like this?

When you’re here, baby, it’s crystal clear!

We are where we are meant to be!

You’re so wonderful, so wonderful, baby!

You bring out the best in me!

Oh, it’s heavenly, it’s heavenly!

Our new sides are changed forever

‘Cause now I see you.”

Husk holds Angel as he flaps his wings to keep himself in the air. Angel holds his waist with his bottom set of arms. The music has grown soft, letting the two sing together.

“Now that I see you.”

Angel caresses Husk’s fluffy cheeks. Husk leans forward and kisses Angel softly on the lips. Angel gasps into the soft tender kiss and melts into instantly.

They both pull away, their half-lidded eyes stare at each other’s lips temporarily until their eyes move into their eyes.

Husk blushes all the sudden. “Shit. I didn’t even ask if you want to kiss!”

Angel snorts. “Pfft, Husk--”

“I didn’t mean to lean forward so suddenly. Was that too much or was that--?”

“Husk,” Angel calls, stopping Husk from speaking. “I appreciate that you’re concerned about my consent, but isn’t that a little too much?”

“M-Maybe,” Husk responds.

Angel strokes Husk’s fur on his cheeks. “I love ya, Husky.”

Husk smiles dumbly. “I love you too.”

They both glance at their lips again.

“Wanna go for one more for the night?” Angel asks him.

Husk nods.

They lean forward and kiss again, not too passionate but more domestic. They break away this time, gazing into each other’s eyes.

Husk flicks his ears. “Uh, how was that? Not too much?”

Angel snorts. “Not at all. I’ll tell you when it is.”

“Promise?”

“Of course, baby.”

Husk smiles softly at Angel.

“Let’s get back down before the others worry about us,” Angel suggests.

“Yeah,” Husk responds with a soft dumb smile.

Husk flies both him and Angel back down to the shore where they just were. However, they widen their eyes in shock when they see the others gazing at them with adoring eyes.

“YAY! YOU GUYS ARE TOGETHER!” Charlie cheers for them.

“Nice,” Vaggie replies with a thumbs.

“Too bad you guys are far away when you guys kissed,” Cherri responds.

“I GOT IT ON VIDEO!” Fizz shouts while taking out his phone.

“YES!!!” Cherri responds.

Blitz sniffles while wiping tears away from his eyes. “Fuck, you bitches are gay. Good for you. Good for you.”

Stolas laughs softly. “Congratulations.”

Both Husk and Angel blush madly.

“Uh, thanks,” Husk utters in confusion.

“Now, now, we got enough of sight-seeing, let’s get everyone to bed,” Rosie responds with a soft smile at Husk and Angel.

Everyone groans except for Stolas and Alastor. As they watch everyone going into the cabins to go to bed, Angel looks at Husk to notice the way Alastor stares at him like he’s threatening Husk. Angel nudges Husk softly, getting him to look up at his lover.

“I’ll be okay, Husky,” Angel reassures Husk.

Husk smiles softly, holding one of Angel’s hands.

“Now, why don’t we head to bed? I’m sure there’s one calling my name,” Angel replies. “Unless you want to share it?”

Husk blushes. “Uh, as long as we don’t go further than sharing a bed.”

“Don’t worry, baby. It won’t.”

“Good.”

As they are walking back to camp to find a cabin for them, Angel looks at his lover. “So, little spoon or big spoon?”

“That’s not a sexual question, is it?”

“Nope.”

“...The little spoon.”

“Ah, I figured.”
