Helluva Music

Chapter 13: First Music

Henry woke up the next day with the mother of all hangovers. As his head starting pounding from all the alcohol he drank, he saw painkiller pills with a glass of water on the nightstand with a note on it. Rubbing his head, Henry looked at the note and it was Octavia's hand writing.

"Henry.

Here is something for your hangover. Thank you for such a wild fun night.

Octavia."

Henry smiled. He took the painkiller as he was looking at the note again and again. Since he got here, Octavia was nothing but sweet to him. Probably the best girl he's met so far. Sure she is a Goetia. But she is just like him in some ways. They're both from royal families, they feel different, ect. His train of thought was interrupted when Collin knocked on the door.

"Henry? Are you awake?"

"Yea. I'm awake." Henry announced, grateful that the headache is gone.

"Ok. Just to let you know, breakfast is ready." Collin said.

"Ok. Thanks."

After that, Henry decided to get up and get ready for another lesson.

3 days have passed since then and things were looking really good. Thanks to the party he had, he was able to learn a lot better than ever before. Not only that, but he also had enough time to help Octavia practice music together. With the progress they are making, they should be able to work on their first musical concert.

But that was not all that is happening right now. Bogumierz and Loona can clearly see that those two were starting to get closer and closer to each other. They even made a small joke about them getting an egg laid, much to Stolas's annoyance and suspension. Nevertheless, he was still counting on Henry to help Octavia escape this cruel cycle of arranged marriages.

The next day, Henry and Octavia were now prepared for their first musical together. After some minor bumps, they were able to get it just right. All they need to do now is find the right stage. But there would barely be anything around Hell for them to perform.

"No luck on finding the stage?" Vaggie asked.

"None. I don't even think the news channel area with Katie Killjoy would allow us to do it live." Octavia said.

"I think that bitch needs to get her ass kicked. Big time." Husk stated while cleaning his mug.

"Well, I think I have something you might use." Charlie suggested.

"What is it?" Henry asked.

"The ballroom. It has a stage there. You can use that for the music show."

"That's a great idea! Henry! You should do it." Bogumierz said.

"Are you sure?" Octavia asked.

"Absolutely!" Charlie beamed.

"Well...ok. We'll do it."

Later on in the evening, everyone was gathering in the lobby after the announcement was made. Most of the Demons were interested in rock and roll music and decided to try it. Others decided to watch the music fail and do some horrible things to make that person miserable. But they never got the chance as Alastor, the Radio Demon, was watching them from afar and kept themselves at bay out of fear.

In the other room, Henry was getting ready by putting some appropriate clothing to start his first concert in Hell. Although it's not big, it was a start. Bogumierz wished him luck and to just relax. Henry wasn't nervous. But he did thank him for that.

After he left, Octavia was coming in. She was wearing a new dress that matches well with Henry: A black shirt with a heart with horns on it, black and pink socks, a tan shorts, and a hat with a rose. Henry was surprised by this look. He almost dropped his instrument after he looked at her.
