Levi was sitting in its room, readying for some alone time. Its shift was over, so it didn't think it would need to be ready. However, that wasn't the case. A loud clang was heard as a pipe dropped a sudden request. With a sigh Levi picked it up.
"Alright... Let's see here... I need to dress less slutty than usual, and... At a cathedral? an odd place for a date, I can't even enter those." It spoke to itself as it got dressed. "Though it would be nice to go to France again."
Once ready it got out a teleportation pad that let it transfer between the land of the dead and the land of the living. Once on earth, the redhead demon looked around. It was rather dark, being an hour from midnight. However, its summoners weren't who it thought.
Infront of it were two angels, one was ginger and the other had blue haired. "Oh? What do two angels need the sin of lust for?"
"Listen we didn't want to summon demons but... We need you..." The blue haired angel stated as she led it to the back of the church. "We're aware your type can't enter holy buildings, so we had to move her outside."
"Her?" Levi asked before making eye contact with a plethora of eyes. It seemed like one of the new angels was experiencing their first evangelical awakening. "I see, but why would an angel want me of all people, er, demons?" The redhead demon asked, but it got its answer swiftly.
"F-Frère." A small voice whined, an echo in her voice from the events. Hearing that voice sent a shiver up its spin. "Ch-Chara...?" It asked. "She kept calling for you, even before the awakening. Not even God could calm her down so-"
"What happened to her...?" Levi asked. "Well-"
"What happened to her?! Why is she dead?!" It snapped, only to calm down hearing the cries of its sister. "We'll tell you what happened after she's calmed, if we stress her out more, she might have a meltdown or something."
Levi couldn't believe this was happening, what did its little sister do to deserve dying so soon? Chara was always such a sweet child, although that was because Levi did its best to make sure nothing bad happened to her.
The rings eventually took a human form, one of a small child with pastel red wings. She sniffled as she looked up, finally calming down after what felt like an hour of crying. It was heartbreaking for the demon, it wanted so badly to rush in and pull her into a hug, but it couldn't bring itself to do so. Not after seeing how distraught she was already.
"Chara? Are you able to speak now?" One of the angels asked.
The small angel simply nodded, slowly getting up on her feet. "Frère ici? Uh.. Porquoi?" [Brother is here? Uh... Why?] She mumbled as she approached the demon. By the way she looked, Levi knew their father must have been involved somehow. "Père est.. Est..." [Father is... Is...] She mumbled, feeling herself tremble once again.
Levi didn't say a word, it simply placed its hand on her head, slowly patting her head.
Feeling the soft, gentle pats of her brother, the tiny angel sniffled a little. The familiar feeling being oddly comforting.
"C'est bon, tu n'as pas besoin de parler..." [It's okay, you don't have to speak] Levi stated is a soft tone as he petted the head of his newly departed sister. She had what seemed like scars, most likely from knife wounds on her face, and blood upon her dress.
"I know I said it was fine for her not to talk but, as she is calmed for the most part, may I please have an explanation of her demise..." The demon stated to the grown angels.
"Well.... It was a few months ago..." The ginger angel started before taking a breath, as if preparing to retell gruesome events. "Chara, being put back into her father's custody, and he was a lonesome man. He didn't attempt to find someone after he killed his wife with the forced vaginal birth of your sister. Though, his carnal desires kicked in and he targeted Chara..." She started, a look of sorrow on her face as if retelling the events was enough to make her unwell.
"However, she was unwilling, so, her father stabbed her once in the cheek and twice in the stomach for being 'uncooperative'." The blue haired angle continued. As it heard this, Levi felt its blood boil. "How could that bastard do such a thing to her? She was only 10..." It hissed softly.
"I am sorry, it must be a horrible surprise to hear that your sister met such a horrible fate. We never wanted this to happen to her either." The ginger angel mumbled. "We found her struggling to get out of the house, we had to explain to her that she was up in heaven."
Levi didn't know how to respond, how could their father do this to Chara? "He has the gall to say I'm a pathetic waste of a human back when I was alive and working in sex work, but then he thinks it's perfectly acceptable to do... This?!" It hissed to itself; it hoped that their poor excuse of a father was rotting in the depths of Hell 1. "Ugh, but I think even the ancient lust is too good for that criminal."
Chara started trembling again hearing about what their father had done to her. "Oh... Ill est pas ici maintenant." [He isn't here now.] It assured her, scooping her up.
"We were hoping it would be best if you could keep your younger sister company for a while before she's comfortable enough to go up to heaven, erm. As long as she realizes that you won't be able to stay up there with her..."
"Ah, I understand..." It spoke. Of course, it hurt that it couldn't stay with its sister, like it hurt when it first was separated from her after its death; But he knew that's how it had to be. However, Chara overheard this. "Tu ne peux pas venir avec moi?" [You can't come with me?] She asked sadly.
"Oui... Mais ne pensez pas que ce sera la dernière fois que nous nous rencontrerons." [Yes... But don't think of it as the last time we'll meet.] It stated as he petted her head a bit before looking at the angels. "I know I can't be with her all the time but... Can I have visitation? Like once a week I have a day when we can interact?"
The two grown angels looked at each other. Sure, Levi wasn't as depraved as the freaks from hell 1, but it wasn't like they could just allow this to happen, mainly since this never happened before. "I... We'll see what we can do." The blue angel stated.
"Merci. Now then, I guess I'll keep her company until she has to leave." The demon stated as it looked at its sister.
"No you have nothing to apologize for your dad seems like a monster. Speaking of, your dad is probably in hell one, right, we can send walt to beat his ass." Evan stated. "Ah, no, thank you though."
"Well, alright, but I mean we can still do it anyway. By the way I assume your sister speaks French, right? I would speak back to her, but I speak Canadian French so it's a bit different from real French." The greenette stated as he looked at the child. "Bonjour." He stated simply.
"B... Bonjour..." Chara stated shyly. "Vous serez en sécurité." He stated, leaving Chara a bit confused. "Ah, right, basically, you'll be safe, we won't let that monster anywhere near you." Evan stated. "Do you want to meet the others?"
"Oh? Are the others out also?"
"Yeah, some staff event, guess you didn't get the memo. Also, I think Garrett knows like, actual French, since he's from Belgium, so maybe that could be good for her, I guess." Evan stated leading them.
Chara just stayed by Levi as they approached the large office building. Hell itself looked a lot like earth but with a purple hued sky, the buildings looked as if they were made out of volcanic rock and the regular demons within all had grey skin with different colored streaks in their hairs to indicate what sins they partook in the most while they were alive.
"Deux Hells?" [Two Hells?] She piped up.
"Ah, yes. There are two in order to separate the major and minor sinners, Hell one is where all those ancient sins reside, it's often reserved for those cultists dedicated to them, but any humans who are truly evil will be sent there too. Their new jobs will be keeping those old demons from waking up." Evan explained.
"Oh..." Chara shivered at the thought of meeting with an Ancient Sin, she hoped that the day would never come.
"I won't let them get you." Levi promised silently to her, stroking her hair to calm her down. "This hell is for those who did bad things in life, but not severe enough."
As they entered the building, Chara eyed a large frog plushie in a claw machine.
"Oh? I wasn't aware of there being a claw machine here. Is this a part of the event?" Levi asked looking at the machine.
"No, actually, Ava thought it would be a good way to get more money for the company. Since we work here we get free access to it." Evan explained.
Seeing how much Chara wanted the frog plush, Levi decided to go at it. "I'm not the best at these games, but I assume it isn't that hard." It thought as it scanned its Id before going at it.
And after a few tries, the frog plush was successfully won. "voilà, une grenouille." [Here it is, a frog.] It said handing it to her.
Chara held the frog plush for a bit before beaming. "Merci beaucoup!" She smiled, flapping her free hand a bit. However, she stopped once she realized what she was doing. "D... Desole..." [S... Sorry...] she muttered.
She immediately held her hands over her head, only for Levi to simply stroke her hair. "Tu n'as pas besoin d'arrêter, ça veut juste dire que tu es heureux." [You don't need to stop, it just means you're happy] It explained.
"Je.. Je n'as pas besoin d'arrêter?" [I.. I don't need to stop?] She mumbled. "Mais... Mais.." [But... But...]
The demon had a good feeling he knew exactly what was going on to make Chara this upset about her stimming. "Il est un monstre." [He is a monster.] It growled lowly. "Chara? Tu veux rencontrer les autres?" [Chara? Do you want to meet the others?]
The angel simply nodded, and so they continued on their path. The other six sins were already in the main meeting room, all sitting around a large table with Ava up front with their charts. They knew there were projectors they could use instead, but they preferred to show things off on physical paper charts. "Oh Levi, I thought you were going to skip out on this meeting."
"Sorry, I needed to be somewhere important first." It explained. "Will this take long?"
"No not entirely-"
"Wait is that a baby?" Preston interrupted, pointing out Chara. "She seems too old to be a baby, she's a toddler at least and a child at most." Garrett stated. "Eitherway why did you bring this child with you-? Is she an angel?" Ava pointed out.
"Well... She's my sister and, having found out she died to our 'father' killing her after not getting his way, I thought I would spend as much time as I can with her before she has to go back to heaven." Levi explained. "Wait your father was going to rape his own daughter?" Walt stated.
"I know you're pissed off about it, but I already offered it for you to beat his ass and it declined." Evan stated. "Anyway... What's this meeting about anyway?" Levi asked, petting Chara's head.
"It's just about the Halloween event, Preston wants to do a spooky Halloween walk near the gateway to Hell One, but I told him it would be too dangerous." Ava replied. "So I proposed we could instead have a route around the historical landmarks down here."
"Well I mean that gateway is locked up tight, not even Satan himself would be able to force it open. I mean, even if it is open there's no way that would be loud enough to wake up those evil demons, right?" Preston argued.
"Still, we can't take any chances."
As they continued to talk, Chara wandered around the meeting room with her frog plushie. She didn't like having to sit around talking, she hoped that if she wandered around long enough, she could find something to do. "Oh hey, are you bored?" Garrett asked.
Chara just looked at him. "She can't speak English."
"Oh well, I speak English, French, and also Flemish." Garrett said. "Well, she speaks French, so that could help."
Garrett then turned to Chara again. "Veux-tu dessiner?" [Do you want to draw?] He asked. "Oui Monsieur." [Yes, Sir] She responded before Garrett looked at Ava. "Can you please manifest some paper and crayons for her?"
"Well, I suppose to keep her from just walking around." Ava stated as they summoned a 24 pack of crayons and a few sheets of paper. Chara looked at the crayons and started drawing with them. With her occupied, the meeting continued.
"Alright so for the Halloween event we should probably go with Ava's idea, since y'know, the chances of the gateway to Hell 1 opening are slim but still possible, though, technically, I personally believe an O-R-G-Y would be better for this but, if its for a more general audience then I suppose Ava's Idea is better." Levi stated, even though Chara couldn't speak English, it carefully spelt Orgy so she couldn't understand it.
"Well, I dunno how looking at a bunch of old buildings would be fun." Preston grumbled.
"You'd be surprised, well now that we've come to an agreement, we can all get started prepping up the area. Garrett, you will be in charge of which food stands will best suit the event. And the rest of you can be in charge of decorations. I'll be selling tickets and advertising." Ava declared.
Chara was still lost in her own world as she drew a picture of when she was alive with her sibling. They were both sitting under a tree in a field. "C'est très belle, Chara." [It's very beautiful, Chara] Levi remarked as it looked over her drawing. "C'est nous?" [Is that us?]
"Oui, merci frère." [Yes, thank you Brother] Chara beamed, she begun to stim again from the praise. Levi smiled too, scooping her up and placing her on its shoulders. "J'ai faim." [I am hungry.]
"Faim? Je savais un restaurant proché d'ici. Allons-y." [Hungry? I knew a restaurant near here. Let's go.] Levi carried her over to a small stand. It wasn't much, but it had the best fries in hell.
Once the fries were acquired, Levi handed them to his sister, who nommed happily. "Est-ce que tu apprécies tes frites?" [Are you enjoying the fries?] It asked her, getting a nod in response. However, halfway through eating, she looked at It, putting the fries near it.
"Tu en veux?" [You want some] She asked, wanting to share with Levi. "Oh, non, ils sont pour toi de toute façon." [Oh, no, they are for you anyway.] It insisted, but Chara wasn't having it. She kept the fries near it waiting for it to at least take some.
"Well, if she wants me to I'll just take one so she can finish eating." It thought as it took one fry. The angel just looked at him, confused on why it only took one fry. "Je n'en voulais qu'un, merci." It stated simply.
"Mais tu m'as tant donné quand nous étions en vie... Prends au moins cinq frites." [But you gave me so much when we were alive... Have at least five fries.] She stated, not moving her arm back, waiting for it to take a bit more.
"Cinq? Uh." [Five? uh.] Levi shrugged its shoulders as it took a handful of the fries. It had almost forgotten the days they went down to the docks, getting a basket of fries to eat as they watched the seagulls fly overhead. It would treat her anytime it had a day off; they would treasure those moments.
It remembered one day, however; it got the diagnosis from that last work session. It couldn't afford to get medical help, but it needed to be there for Chara. Even for its final moments. It promised the next morning to take her down to the docks for fries. "Desolé..." [Sorry...]
"Desolé? Porquoi?" [Sorry? Why?] Chara asked.
Levi held her, some tears falling from its eyes. It could barely say a word. It wouldn't be able to speak for now, not when it's this distressed.
Chara just stayed in her brother's arms, confused on why he was apologizing, and why he was sad. She paused for a second before hugging it back, thinking that would make it feel better.
It looked down at its sister. It was feeling guilt about basically everything that happened to his sister. "Was this my fault? It has to be, if I lived, she would have been able to at least be able to grow up into a teenager..." It thought.
"Ch... Chara..." It uttered before breaking down. "D-désolée, je n'aurais pas dû devenir une telle catin, sinon il ne t'aurait pas tuée. Tout est de ma faute." [S-sorry, I shouldn't have become such a whore, otherwise he wouldn't have killed you. It's all my fault.] Levi stated frantically, yet in a hushed voice. It would have continued but was interrupted by Chara.
"Frère... Ce n'était pas de ta faute... Tu as fait ce que tu as fait pour m'élever... Ne sois pas triste, s'il te plaît..." [Brother... It wasn't your fault... You did what you did to raise me... Please don't be sad...] She stated, trying to hug it closer, tears in her own eyes. After a bit, Levi calmed down.
It didn't say another word, and it didn't need to. They simply stayed in each other's arms, all day long until it was time for them to part. Chara gave her brother a wave as the angels came to pick her up. They knew they had all the time in the world to see each other again.
"I may not have had much time on earth, at least I can see her once a week." It thought.
