Chapter 18 (Christmas Special)

Y/N POV

The holidays in hell aren't festive like when we were all alive, nobody cares to try, just because it's hell doesn't mean we can't have just a little Christmas spirit. Sure.. it may be some sort of holy Christian tradition for jesus and all that bullshit, but I don't see it that way, I may have grown up Christian but... the holidays for me, is about happiness. Not some stupid birthday of some guy god put into a virgins stomach.

Happiness.. I haven't felt that in so.. so long. Charlie has always tried making a christmas party or something at her dads house every year, and every year it was shot down. Seems Lucifer hates christmas. Don't blame him though.

But, it seems she's been too busy with the hotel this year to even think about Christmas, it's tomorrow for hells sake and there's not even a mistletoe for her and vaggie to kiss under.

No stockings, nothing.

I mean it's been a couple months since alastor arrived, and the hotel is looking great. Though... now i question if its even worth staying anymore, it seems like they don't even need me anymore now that husk nifty and Al are here, charlie has been making all the plans with vaggie and alastor, they have even stopped consulting me for ideas. It's.. heartbreaking to say the least. I hate Al... but him stealing my life is the cherry on top to just tumble it all to the ground, I'd rather live in a dusty attic again than be here in misery.

But I don't want to leave here with the hotel not festive.

I move from my bed and onto my balcony as I quietly look at the streets of hell.

...what even is my life anymore.. well.. afterlife.. i don't know.. I suppose.. more exciting. But more depressing at the same time, I have so many friends now, so many fights, so many challenges, so many new experiences every day. I have my mother back, alastors mom, my best friends, and.. Alastor.. i miss what we used to be but he just doesn't believe someone like me could possibly be the same person as i used to be.. it's true, i used to be so elegant, so kind and weak, naive, my hair was different my body language different, I didn't do the things i do now. I honestly.. don't blame him for not knowing its me, if my past self saw me today, they wouldn't believe me either. I changed with the times, i changed with everything, so has alastor, but he is still stuck in the 1920s..

I sigh and run my claws through my hair and lean on the railing as i tear up, it's not even snowing since its hell, it never fucking snows. I miss.. so much.. being homesick hurts. I move and look at the sky.

I wonder, if i can make anything, am i able to make snow?

I look down at my hands and stare for who knows how long before i concentrate on my powers, causing some snowflakes to come out

"Well.. its something. Maybe.. if i make clouds instead? And the snow can fall? Am i able to freeze hell? Something nobody has done before? If i make the atmosphere as cold as it should be for snow and ice for at least one day then i totally can!" A smile forms on my face as i look at the sky "I'm ready to take Christmas head on."

I jump off the balcony and rush to a store, I'm about to just steal the shit but I stop and stare at everything

I don't.. want to steal on the holidays. I have plenty of money.

My face scrunches up a bit as i start to overthink

What about all the children in hell, all those with no hope, everyone may be bad. But that doesn't mean they don't deserve to have a good holiday, especially having to deal with the extermination soon.. might as well give sinners something before they potentially die.

And there's when i get a plan.

I'll be santa, every year. Hells version at least.

I break into places so easily now nobody even knows I'm there.

I can.. give a Christmas miracle.

A smile spreads across my face once more and I run out and hide in an ally

"Ok, obviously i don't have the money to buy everyone everything. And this hell's forest fucking sucks. So ill just have to.. be santa. Santa is magic. I can do magic. I am everything. Obviously i won't wear that stupid red suit but what SHOULD I wear." I rub my head and lean against the wall as i think

"Oh, ive got it!" I then conjure up an entire outfit and satchel, and put it all on, the scarf being used partly as a hood so only thing seen is the glow of my eyes

"Now this is definitely more like it. Much better than that old red suit."

I look around the semi empty streets of the city and i jump up onto a rooftop

Everyone is asleep even the homeless. Now is the perfect time to do my work.

I first start with the homeless sinners, if I'm going to make it freezing i might as well help them first.

Jumping around quietly and crawling on wires and such, I give the homeless clothes and blankets, conjuring up a fully wrapped present for each of them, before I move on to the bigger things.

The streets are.. a mess. In shambles.

I may be just doing work for nothing knowing it will get like this again but i want things to look nice..

Standing atop a building I conjure up extra hands and help clean up trash and debris, and fill in potholes and broken buildings as quietly as possible. Not just in the area of the hotel but the entire wrath ring. Seeing as im physically unable to go to any of the other rings.

I take a break and check the time

11:40pm.. I have a few hours before anyone will be awake. Lets make it count.

Making my entire body glow i end up making clones of myself in the same outfit, us all nodding knowing exactly what to do as we spread out and get to work. All the streets lined up with wreaths and holiday decorations, the buildings and lamp posts bright with Christmas lights, signs and billboards as well, cleaned up and fixed, we moved on to the inside of homes buildings and apartments, setting up christmas trees with many presents, stockings filled to the brim, kitchens full of Christmas cookies egg nog and hot chocolate.

But i make sure to stop and one specific place.

Ok Valentino. Lets see what's in store for you.

I crawl into his home and sneak around before hearing noises coming from the kitchen before i quickly hide under the couch, not knowing he was awake, but it seems like he was just getting a snack before going back to sleep.

"..." I slowly and quietly move and despite my better judgment i give him a Christmas tree, with just one present. And a stocking full of coal

"Youre lucky you get anything you bastard." I then jump out his window and make my way back to the hotel absolutely exhausted

Ah.. well.. at least everything looks better...

Oh shit wait the snow!!

I stop outside the now fully decorated hotel and look up at the sky, focusing the rest of my magic that i have left in myself, and i change the whole weather of hell. I don't make it too cold, but just about 40-45 degrees as it starts lightly snowing

"There we go.." I then yawn and get the outfit off me and go back to my room, promptly passing out on the bed... that is until i hear screeching at 7am the next morning and pounding at my door.

"Y/N Y/N YOU NEED TO COME SEE THIS OMG OMG ITS CHRISTMAS AND HELL IS SNOWING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN EONS!!" charlie screams out obviously excited and happy

"Okok im coming.." i get up and open the door but before i can say anything she grabs my arm and drags me straight to the lobby where i had made it all christmas-y the night before, giving everyone presents that they will love, and seeing everyone standing around the Christmas tree talking, angel looking absolutely thrilled with niffty, husk confused, vaggie skeptical, and al.. basically the same but he is holding one of his gifts up to his ear while shaking it lightly. He hasn't had a christmas in decades yet he is still the same when it comes to the presents. Even blue and kody showed up for christmas!

Speaking of which, while charlie rushes over to everyone squealing with joy, kody walks over to me and smirks

"What?"

"What?? I know what you did, this couldn't have been just anyone"

I smile a bit "yeah well.. i figured everyone needed this, you know?"

"More like you needed it"

"Maybe youre right, but I'm happy when i can help, and make others happy."

He chuckles and gives me a hug "merry christmas, Y/N"

"Merry Christmas kody" i say as i hug back and look over his shoulder as i make eye contact with alastor, he seemed to have opened his present, and is in shock, but still with that dumbass smile on his face just not as big. Im not even sure what my clones gave him, but whatever it is, he knew it was me.

After a moment he just looks away and opens some more gifts, as the others do as well, it's a good day.. and i hope it never ends.

But all good things come to an end, they always do, don't they.
