In the middle of the dark, I found my light.

Chapter fifteen: employees and sessions

"Charlie dear can I talk to you?" Alastor asked. "Um sure..." she said. Alastor pulled Charlie into a broom closet, so they wouldn't be heard.

"Um...alastor?" Alastor turned around and saw the look on her face and he laughed. "Don't you worry your pretty little face darling. It's about the hotel."

Charlie sighed in relief. "So what's up?" Charlie asked. Alastor gave her a nervous look, but the smile never left his face.

"Well darling, I was wondering if we could give beetlejuice a job here." Alastor asked. Charlie's eyes bugged out of her head. "Alastor are you crazy?!" Charlie asked.

"Well..." alastor said. Charlie gave him a look. "Alastor I went through his file, he's a psychopath!" Charlie said.

"So am I!" Alastor told her. "No your not!" Charlie told him. "Darling I killed over 200 people!" Alastor explained. Charlie took his hand in hers. "Not to me." She whispered softly. Alastor blushed and opened the closet. "Just...please consider it my dear." He took her hand and raised it to his mouth and kissed her knuckles.

He left the closet and left Charlie to think. He had done so much for Charlie, and she guessed she still owed him for saving her. She nodded to herself and went to fetch alastor.

"A JOB?!" Beetlejuice asked. Both Charlie and Alastor nodded. "Um ok...but doing what?" BJ asked. "He ain't runnin the bar!" Husk shouted and took another drink of cheap booze. "And there's no way he's helping me with house cleaning!" Nifty cut in. "Yeah make sure this weirdo stays out of my room!" Angel put in. "Whatever Mr.pole dancer!" Charlie shouted. "Ohhh OUCH!" Angel teased.

"Actually my friend, I was hoping you would want to be the manager of the staff." Husk spit out his booze, Nifty dropped the plates she was taking to the kitchen, and angel coughed from shock. "WHAT THE HELL?!" All three of them shouted at the same time. "Um...I don't know..." beetlejuice said.

"Oh! I've got an idea! You can help with security! With Razzle and dazzle!" Charlie said. Beetle juice thought for a second and then nodded happily. "Great! Welcome to the happy hotel Beetlejuice!" Charlie said happily.

"What are ya talkin about princess? This place is called the hazbin hotel right?" He asked. Charlie's smile disappeared and she quickly ran outside and looked at the sign to see he was right, it was now the hazbin hotel.

Charlie thought for a second, and there was only one demon who had the power to change something like that. "ALASTOR!!!" Charlie screamed. Alastor heard her screams and ran to her. "Darling what is it?" He asked.

She pointed to the sign and he snorted. "Sweetie I love you but you just noticed that?!"

"ALASTOR I AM GOING TO MURDER YOU!" And she started running towards him. He laughed and ran away, he knew he could take her, but he was in the mood for a good game.

Charlie chased him all the way to the room, where she was able to tackle him and pin him to the bed. He laughed and cupped her face in his hands.

Suddenly all her anger was gone, and it was replaced with shyness. She immediately shrunk back embarrassed. Alastor laughed. "Al I-I thought you weren't ready!" She stammered out. He took her hand he placed it on his 'beating' heart. He smiled softly and put his face close to hers.

"Quite the contrary my dear. But...well, I'm ready for a quick make out session, but not anything else." He admitted. Charlie smiled and got on her tippy toes to get up to his height to kiss him. There lips connected and the session began.

Later that day, angel noticed that she had a hickey. "Hey char, what's that?" He asked. She immediately knew what he was talking about and covered her neck with her collar. "Um nothing!" She told him.
