Hoco in Helluva Boss (READ STORY DESCRIPTION)

Mission and going South

I plugged in my phone and placed it down on my bed, my tail wagging at I looked at my blessed arrows, I loved my crossbow with all my heart. I picked up the arrows and placed it in a bag, tucking the bag under my tail, I picked up my crossbow and laid it on my shoulder. I glanced at my phone.
I talk to Octavia every day.. But dad really needs me. I'm pretty sure she can last one day without me. I'm always there for her, and I really want to do this one thing for myself..
I shook my head, Octavia would be fine, I was sure of it, I heard a loud hiss with a thud, I peeked out from behind the statue and saw my dad had tripped over his own tail, I giggled before running over to him, I helped him up.
"Hey dad! Who are we going after today?" I asked, my tail still slightly wagging.
"Happy to see your back Sweetie. We're going after a sinner this time. They apparently crossed some royal schmuck, I know usually we deny missions like this, but I think you'll find the end result rewarding." My dad winked at me. I was starting to wonder what it was before he quickly spoke. "Race you to the horses!" He chuckled playfully before running. I giggled and ran as well, I whistled as loud as I could. Merciless jumped over the fence and ran over to me, I quickly hopped on her back.
"Ride, Merciless!" I shouted with a smile on my face, Merciless ran back over to the fence and I touched it. "I win!" I giggled.
Wow.. It's been a while since I had this much fun. Usually my dad is out and I'm sneaking out to be with Octavia.. This is nice.. It's been so long since I felt like this.
"You cheated!" My dad laughed as he opened the gate. Bombproof walked out with a gentle huff, my dad climbed onto his back, Merciless neighed before huffing.
"No one said whistling wasn't allowed!" I playfully said, a large smile on my face. My dad chuckled.
"Fair enough, let's get to the Pride Ring." My dad said, Merciless neighed again, kicking her front feet in the air before running quickly.
And who says horses can't understand us?
After a while of the horses running, we found a safe place to hide, I got off Merciless and gave her a gentle kiss on the snout.
"I love you, girl." I gently stroked her snout, she huffed happily, I giggled. My dad began tying Bombproof to a pole, I tied Merciless to the same place.
I know we can trust our horses not to be tied but these stupid useless sinners are just so stupid.
"I'm not exactly sure where the sinner is. Everytime I try to find him he somehow scurries off and I can't find them. I was hoping you could help me keep track. You got a good nose, right?" My dad looked at me once I finished tying Merciless. I giggled and looked back at him.
"Is Merciless as merciless as she is cute?" I asked, gently petting Merciless on the snout again. My dad chuckled, he held out a picture toward me, I picked it up and looked at it. I noticed the picture had some weird goo in the corner. "What's that?"
"Some of their blood. It looks different from other sinners, but it's what I got after I injured them." He told me, touching some of the goo with his finger. I sniffed the goo then sniffed the air, I could tell it wasn't too far from where we were now. I waved my hand for my dad to follow me. He began to follow me, we were sneaking around, being careful to avoid any sinners, I felt a tap on my shoulder and looked back, my dad gave a small hiss before pointing at a ladder. I smiled, my tail starting to wag, we made our way over, I boosted my dad to the ladder and jumped, grabbing the ladder with one hand and my dad's hand with my other. We climbed up the ladder, we walked on top of the buildings, jumping from one to the other. I eventually stopped, the smell had gotten so close it was starting to sting my nose. I covered my nose a bit, I peeked over the building and saw our target. My dad slightly hissed as he peeked over too.
"You go further ahead, and I'll lure them in your direction. Can you give a headshot?" He asked me, I nodded, pulling out my crossbow, my dad signalled me to go. I ran further ahead until I was far enough. I stopped on top of a small-ish building, looking down with my tail excitedly wagging.
It's been so long since we last did this! I'm so excited! Finally get to take out some sinner scum.. I swear they're almost as annoying as royals.. Octavia being an obvious exception of course..
I quickly aimed my crossbow as I heard loud hissing and.. Roaring? My eyes narrowed as I kept my crossbow aimed. I could hear my dad hissing angrily, or fake angry, I can barely ever tell the difference. I saw the sinner attempting to run away, my dad held up his hand and quickly clenched it into a fist, I knew that was the "aim now, shoot now" signal. I aimed my crossbow and once the sinner was about to be in sight, I fired, perfectly timing it as well. I saw the splatter of their blood shoot everywhere as their lifeless body fell to the ground. My tail slightly wagged.
Clean shot! 1 for me, 0 for stupid sinners.
I jumped down, rolling as I landed, it still hurt a bit but otherwise I was completely fine. My dad hissed happily as he ran over.
"That's my girl! Beautiful shot!" He said, I smiled, my tail wagging. I couldn't help but feel so happy by this, it had been much too long since we had a mission together and I felt like I could jump to Heaven and back.
"Let's get to the horses before more sinner scum realize hellborns are here." I said, looking around, noticing there was already some sinners starting to look at us, my dad hissed as he realized it too. He nodded and we ran over to where we left Merciless and Bombproof, I saw a couple of sinners trying to untie Merciless but she was trying to kick them, I loaded my crossbow and shot one of the sinners in the arm, causing them to scream in pain. "Shoo you worm-asses!" I shouted.
What kind of insult was that!? I'm hanging around Chocolate too much..
The sinners ran away, my dad and I ran over to the horses, he untied Bombproof and I untied Merciless. I hopped on her back and my dad hopped on Bombproof. My ear twitched as I saw one of those stupid overlord sinners staring right at us before starting to walk over.
"Ride, Merciless!" I shouted, she neighed loudly before quickly sprinting as fast as she could, my dad was following shortly behind on his horse.
"That was close.. Let's get going." My dad said, clearly have noticing the overlord who was behind us. After a while of riding, we finally made it back to the Wrath Ring. I could tell Merciless and Bombproof were tired from running so fast and hard. I got off Merciless as my dad began to lead them back toward the fence where their water and food was. I walked back over to my bed, I kneeled down and picked up my phone.
