Ch. 12: Family

A few hours later, the injured were being attended to. Husk was the least injured, thankfully, with only his wing being stabbed. Sir Pentious would have a long scar across his chest, but luckily he always kept blood packs in his room in case of experiments going bad. Niffty would be okay as she wasn't hit by any angel weapon so she would heal naturally by the end of the week. Finally, Velvette... well, she would be dead if Emily didn't have an idea.

"Emily, are you sure? You're pretty hurt too." Charlie said.

"I may be fallen, but I'm still an angel, we're more resilient and I'll heal faster than the rest." Emily said, "They didn't want to kill me, they wanted me to suffer, so they missed most my organs."

Emily went into the room that Velvette was in, she was in a bit of a coma from blood loss, which was not helped by the severed arm. The door closed and Charlie looked at it with sadness. Vaggie walked up, holding onto Lucy who was pretty traumatized.

"Pretty bad way to come back from vacation, huh?" Vaggie said.

"Mommy, please don't blame Auntie Em." Lucy said, "It isn't her fault anyone was hurt."

Charlie gave Lucy a small kiss to the head.

"Don't worry, I know Emily isn't responsible." Charlie said, "But I'm just a little nervous about everything."

"You're not the only one. The exorcists have never done anything like this before." Vaggie said.

"I think everyone has been through enough for the day." Charlie said, "It's best if we let everyone rest, mostly the adorable one that's slowly falling asleep in your arms."

Vaggie grinned as she looked at Lucy, seeing the small child was trying not to doze off.

The rush of fear and adrenaline that made young heart beat so fast up until now. She just had no energy left in her.

"Should we take her home or stay here for the night?" Vaggie asked.

"I think it's best if we head home, I'll... well scratch that, I can't text Emily." Charlie said, reaching for her phone before she stopped. "Oh wait. Her phone was destroyed. I'll slip a note under the door. Go to the limo and I'll be there soon."

Vaggie nodded as she left the hotel with Lucy while Charlie went to Emily's office for paper and a pen. Grabbing what she needed, she wrote down her message.

'Taking Lucy home, let us know when everyone is better.- Love, Charlie.'

She then slid it under the door and headed to the limo. Emily didn't read it immediately, she was busy with her plan to help Velvette. She just hoped some good news would come soon.

-Two Days Later-

Everyone but Velvette was doing better, which made Emily happy, there was a bit of explaining to do when Angel and Alastor got back, but Emily was actually happy they weren't there, as she is glad to have at least a couple people that weren't hurt to help keep an eye over everything. She was currently working on fixing the wall, basically praying that it would stay up this time when she heard the door open. She saw Asmodeus... and a couple other sins.

"Emmy, I came as soon as I heard!" Asmodeus said, before checking on her, seeing some slight injuries, "Are you okay? Nothing hurt too badly?"

"Just my pride." Emily said with a bittersweet smile.

Bee came up and used all four arms to give her niece a hug.

"I'm so glad you're okay, I don't know what I'd do if I had to tell my little hellhound what happened to their cousin." Bee said.

"Oi, who we gotta fuck up?" Mammon asked, punching his fist into his palm.

"It won't matter, Unc, their dead already." Emily said as Bee let her go.

"Really? Well regardless, we need to find the fuckers who were ballsy enough to attack our family!" Mammon said, slamming his fist into his hand.

"For once, I agree with Mammon." Asmodeus said before remembering something. "Oh, that reminds me, I have the items you requested."

Asmodeus went outside and returned with a long case, like for a guitar. He opened it and let Emily see what was inside.

"Are they okay?" He asked.

"They'll be perfect." Emily said, smiling widely as she looked at them.
