The Dragon Sinner
Chapter 7: Conflicts and Compassion
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSpike was eventually taken back to the hotel as Alastor had known the destination by heart. As he did, he reached the hotel and entered, where he sat down. As he did, he looked at Alastor and said.
"Thanks Alastor."
"No problem my dear boy, after all, not only are you a new soul, but Charlie trusted me to help you along with her friends." Alastor said, before he headed off.
In the meantime, Spike was lying on the couch and as he did, reminisced of al the times he had spent alone in the living world, while Twilight and her friends had gone on adventures, he barely had a chance to do anything with them, or anybody for that matter. He only cried to himself silently as he saw that from all the bullying, neglect and depression, it was always him that suffered.
"Spike?" A voice said.
"Huh?" Spike looked and saw that it was Vaggie.
'Oh. Hi Vaggie." Spike said in a glum tone.
"You ok?" Vaggie asked sitting next to him.
"......Yeah." Spike answered in a stuck tone, his frown only deepening further.
Vaggie saw the look on Spike's face and despite her initial distrust, could see he was genuinely not ok, and he was hesitant to tell her. With a sigh, she put a hand on his shoulder and said.
"Spike....I don't normally say this to most people, but I'm here to listen....if your willing to talk."
Spike looked at Vaggie and was hesitant to answer, but after a few minutes of consideration, he sighed a breath and spoke.
"Ok.....I'm just thinking about all the times I wanted to help Twilight....everytime. They were these popular girls in my school and alot of people bully me not just for being near them but talking to them. Even their boyfriends act like I'm some sort of pest. Only Big Macintosh, Granny Smith and Thorax were nice enough to talk to me. Not only that but even my PARENTS of all people favored Twilight and Shining Armor."
Vaggie only gave a look of sympathy to Spike, especially after he told her the neglect he went through. As Spike only looked on the ground in grief, he felt something hold him.....it was Vaggie......the moth demon was hugging him.
"Spike, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I know I don't trust any man or person for that matter....but I'm truly sorry you had to face that. Hell, if anything your a more decent guy compared to other assholes here and in the living world." Vaggie said with a tone that dripped of pity.
Spike nodded and returned the hug, with a look of slight reassurance and said with a half smile.
"Thanks Vaggie."
They comforted each other and as they did, they heard someone crying. They looked and saw Charlie, with tears and her eyes crying tears of joy.
"You-you-you both are finally becoming friends!" Charlie said, even blubbering her words in her emotional state.

Spike saw the happy, tearful princess and said "Is she ok?"
"Don't worry, she's like this when she sees something touching." Vaggie replied
The one eyed demon woman carried her girlfriend bridal style as she blubbered.
"It's so amazing Vaggie!" Charlie said during her blubbering state.
(In the living realm)
Blitzo, Millie and Moxxie were following Soarin and Cheese Sandwich and as they did, the two boys conversed more.
"So, guess what's coming in a few days?" Cheese asked.
"Halloween?" Soarin answered.
"Correct! I managed to message the girls and the others to pick out their best costumes for this Fall Formal. Oh! Almost forgot, I spoke with Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna. It's the FRIGHT Formal now!" Cheese replied giddily.
"Alright!" Soarin said, high-fiving Cheese.
As they spoke, Blitzo, Millie and Moxxie overheard as they walked in the vents.
"Halloween? That gives me an idea." Moxxie said
"What do you got hun?" Millie asked
"During Halloween, demons are allowed to travel on the living realm right? What if once we found out further what those assholes did, we tell Spike and then we off the bastards that caused his death?" Moxxie further suggested.
"Not bad Mox, but for now let's keep on going and see what else those limp dick fuckholes are doing."
The imps continued and as they did, they eventually saw Soarin and Cheese Sandwich meet with Snips, Snails, Lightning Dust, Gilda and Flash.
"Alright everybody, ready for the dance soon?" Soarin asked
"Yup. I can't believe we lived through this year." Snips said with a smile of victory.
"And we got to get rid of the runt that was in the way of your girls and our way." Lightning Dust said with a boastful tone.
'And the way we tricked those superhero girlfriends of you two, Flash, Trenderhoof, Caramel, Sandalwood and Timber Spruce into ignoring him with that fake text was a genius idea." Gilda added
The imps heard this and were left in disgust as Blitzo said with distaste.
"These fucks don't even care they killed him."
"Plus they had the nerve to lie to the poor dear." Millie said, her look showing death.
"Should we keep watching?" Moxxie said
Blitzo said "I think we should split up. You two watch over these fucks, I'll see if there's any evidence left to prove these fucks are responsible so we can off em."
They nodded as Blitzo went in an alternate path in the vents.
(Back in Hell)
Spike was in the hotel, eating some food and as he did, he had soon gone to the lobby and he heard the door open and saw a white skinned demon with blonde hair and had worn in a neck-length bob style. She had worn a black pencil shirt, a pearl choker and earrings, and a rose blazer with a neckline.

"Wow, this place is shit like always." The woman said, lighting a cigarette.
Spike looked and saw her and the moment she did, her eyes widened as she gave a rather creepy smile as she advanced to Spike.
"Hey there cutie, you new to Hell?" The demon woman said.
"Ummmmm......" Spike said backing away with clear discomfort.
"What the fuck do you want Killjoy?" Vaggie said upon entering the lobby.
"Fuck you bug bitch. But to answer your question. I'm here for the little guy here." The demon woman said, pointing to Spike.
"Me? Why?" Spike asked baffled.
'Well cutie, my name is Katie Killjoy, the number one news anchor in all of 666 news here in Hell and right now your the top News here in Hell." Katie replied with a creepy grin on her face.
She even showed the video of Spike partying, with views surprisingly increasing and more likes and comments coming in the comment section.
"And the one who insulted our hotel and what it stood for." Vaggie said in a disgusted tone as she glared at the news demon.
"Did your flat ass even prove if redemption is even possible bitch?" Katie Killjoy said in mockery.
As they argued, the door opened and Charlie had noticed the commotion and frowned, especially after seeing Katie Killjoy of all demons in her hotel.
"What are you doing here?" Charlie said upon seeing the news demon that she knew ALL too well.
"Well miss gay, if your wondering, I'm not here for your shitty redemption bullshit, this cutie is the hot topic of all of Hell and I want to give him an exclusive interview. Without you skanks in it, even though you helped stop the extermination last year." Katie Killjoy said with a tone that only creeped Spike out more.
"One, I'm bisexual." Charlie corrected.
"Yeah, gay." Katie replied nonchalantly.
"Oh for fuck's sake! Second of all, Spike is perfectly fine here and doesn't need you to put him in danger." Charlie said in anger, her demon form slowly showing, as evidenced by her eyes getting more red and her head showing horns.

"Please bitch, like the kid would-" Katie was about to say, until Spike said
"Hard pass creep." Spike replied
"Excuse me?" Katie asked in surprise at his rejection.
"One, I already know your bad news the moment you just barged in here, two, Charlie has a good thing going on and actually is trying to make things right for those who suffered like me and three, I don't need to be involved with a homophobic psychopath who I'm sure just screws people over for money and fame." Spike replied with a tone of defiance.
Spike's words made Charlie and Vaggie smile as he spoke. Charlie had a bright smile and Vaggie nodded with acknowledgement as Katie said.
"You don't know what your missing kid."
"Oh trust me bitch. I know EXACTLY what i'm missing." Spike replied in disgust.
The moment Spike said the b-word to her, this angered the news demon and she attacked Spike, who tried to dodge and block but she strangled him and was about to break his body more until Vaggie used her spear to knock her back and Charlie had furiously whacked her in the face with a golden pitchfork and her demon form had shown fully.

Grabbing Katie by her shirt, Charlie made her look in her eyes and said in a demonic tone of her voice.
"Take your annoying, lying, hypocritical ass out of my hotel AND GET OUT!"
She then threw Katie out a window and after she did so, she returned to normal. Spike was left shocked as Charlie and Vaggie went over to him. Spike had a few bruises and a cut lip but was ok for the most part.
"You ok kid?" Vaggie asked.
"I'm fine. Thanks for helping me." Spike said
"It's ok Spike. It's the least I could do after you stood your ground and defended the hotel, us and what we do." Charlie said with a smile.
"it's no problem. You guys took me in, it's the least I can do." Spike said.
Spike and Charlie looked at each other and blushed and shook of their respective embarrassments and Vaggie said
"So, now what do we do?"
"Well, it's almost Halloween, maybe we can get some decorations?" Charlie suggested.
Vaggie said with a nod "Good idea, maybe we can also promote the hotel too in the meantime. But first, we're gonna need some costumes."
(Back in the human world)
Moxxie and Millie were in the vents and continued observe the gang that had killed Spike if there was anything else to take note of.
Eventually they are seen with the Rainbooms and each shared a kiss with their respective boyfriends. As they did, Moxxie said
'Those bastards aren't even caring he died?"
Millie added in agreement and said.
"Maybe they have something that proves there's more to these fuckers. After all, humans do have secret nasties."
"Fair point hon." Moxxie acknowledged.
The two continued their search. Meanwhile Blitzo had moved and eventually hid in a locker as he heard Timber and Twilight talk.
"So Twi, you wanna go with me to the dance tomorrow?" Timber Spruce asked
"I dunno Timber, I want to...but.....I still miss him." Twilight said in reluctance and hesitation.
"Come on Twi. Spike wouldn't want you to be sad." Timber said trying to get her to reconsider.
Twilight have a look of neutral consideration and reluctance but said.
"Ok Timber."
Timber said "Great! I'll see ya later."
Timber left as Twilight gave a look of confusion and suspicion and pulled out her phone. She texted to her friends.
"Girls, can we talk soon after school?"
A text from Rarity appeared
"Of course darling, just let us know where."
She soon left for class and Blitzo said while in the locker.
"Bingo motherfucker."
