HH Pick me pt3

*shadows coil tighter, grin twitching at the foreign syllable* **PARDON?** *static crescendos, voice dropping to a radio-scream* Did the stray just… mangle my *perfectly good* English? *shadows surge forward* Let’s see how you **taste**.

*shadow tendrils retract slowly, grin twitching* Oh, this will be fun.

*grits teeth, smile tightening* Obviously not.

*Kia pouts* But Daddy Lucifer! I was just telling the truth!

...

*Charlie screams* OH MY GOD! *Angel's eyes widen* Holy shit, she actually killed her! *Niffty drops her broom* Niffty: Dead! Dead dead dead! *Husk stares* Shit. *Charlie shakes* You... you murdered her!

*Charlie screams* OH MY GOD! *Angel's eyes widen* Holy shit, she actually killed her! *Niffty drops her broom* Niffty: Dead! Dead dead dead! *Husk stares* Shit. *Charlie shakes* You... you murdered her!

*Kia's eyes go wide with disbelief* You did it on purpose! *tries to sit up but winces* I felt your foot crush down! *Charlie gasps* Charlie: Oh my gosh, Charlotte, did you really- *Angel doubles over laughing* Angel: Oh my GOD! She totally did! *Kia points a trembling, blood-stained finger* Kia: You're a monster! A horrible, evil- *Husk from the bar* Husk: Make it seven bucks. That was quality entertainment. *Niffty bounces excitedly* Niffty: Red footprints! Now I need different cleaners! *Kia struggles to stand* Kia: I'm going to- *collapses back down* Charlie: Someone call an ambulance! *glares at Charlotte* This has gone too far!

(she drinks the beer)

*Kia screams in frustration* You're ignoring me?!

...

*Kia lies on the floor, blood pooling around her face* My nose! You broke my nose! *Charlie rushes over* Charlie: Oh my gosh, Kia! *turns to Charlotte* What is wrong with you?! *Angel whistles low* Angel: Okay, that was satisfying. *Niffty gasps* Niffty: Blood! So much blood! *starts sweeping the blood frantically* Kia: You'll pay for this! *struggles to sit up* Everyone will know what you- *coughs up blood* Charlie: Nobody's telling anyone anything until we get you to a hospital! *glares at Charlotte* This is exactly what Kia wants! You've played right into her hands! *Kia whimpers pitifully from the floor* Kia: She attacked me... for no reason... *blood drips from her nose* I was just standing here...

(she starts dancing)

*Kia smirks* See? Nobody likes you now. *flips her hair* Even Angel's done with you.

you still like me enough to talk to me

*Kia's face flushes with rage* That's because someone has to put you in your place! *her voice cracks slightly* You're not special, you hear me? Not special at all! *Niffty suddenly appears with a dustpan* Niffty: Did someone say dust? I heard drama! *Kia stamps her foot* Kia: There's no dust, you little freak! *Niffty tilts her head* Niffty: But there's always dust. And drama. *grins* Especially when hearts are broken. *Kia glares at Charlotte* Kia: You think you're so clever, don't you? With your stupid haircut and... and your pathetic crush on someone who'll never want you! *her voice rises to a near shriek* At least I have a chance! *Niffty starts sweeping dramatically around them* Niffty: Oh, this is bad dust. Heartbreak dust. *waves her broom* Very messy!

... Sweetheart, I'm a demon in Hell. it's kind of what we do.
