Rosie wasā¦ really all you hadā¦ She was a mom figure to you, and really the only one you knew you could trust besides Alastor and everyone else at Charlie Morningstar, (the princess of Hellās,) hotel, the Hazbin Hotelā¦
You constantly clung to Rosieās side 24/7, helped her with whatever she needed, had amazing manners, held onto her hand all the time, and tried your hardest to be as respectful as possibleā¦
But you always seemed to be slightly defensiveā¦ Not in a weird, secretive wayā But like a wolf pup cornered with her teeth bared to defend herself against a predator stronger than herā¦ You always seemed slightly afraid, constantly expecting a blow, even if you wouldnāt say itā¦
But there was a reason for your fearā¦
When you were still alive, before you came to Hell and started living in Cannibal Town with Rosie and the other cannibals, you had a horrible, narcissistic, physically, verbally, emotionally, and mentally abusive grandmotherā¦ You had an amazing mother, but she died when you were sixā¦ So you were stuck with your grandmotherā¦
And she was a horrible, vindictive woman who abused you really badly, and left you severely traumatizedā¦ You would flinch every time someone raised their voice or their hand, and you would hide behind Rosie whenever someone new came to the emporium she worked atā¦
And she was starting to get worriedā¦ Really worriedā¦
She didnāt know about your bad past, because you wouldnāt tell her, so she didnāt understand why you were always so scaredā¦ You were so young, only a little girl, you shouldnāt have had to be so afraidā¦
But she never pushed for answers, waiting until you were ready to tell herā¦ But she was still severely worried, making sure to take mental notes of what seemed to scare you more, and making sure to avoid doing those thingsā¦
And for a while, things were going pretty good, and you were just the tiniest bit less scaredā¦
But then, out of nowhere, it all came crashing downā¦
You had had a really, really bad nightmare the night before about your grandmother and the things sheād done, and it really messed with your headā¦ You had been silent the whole day, not talking, and when you did, it was barely audibleā¦ The most you said was a simple āgood morningā to Rosie, which left her really worriedā¦ You were usually such a little chatterbox around her, just the sweetest little darlingā¦ She didnāt know what was wrongā¦
10:14 A.M
Rosie was at the front door, greeting Alastor energetically like always and letting him insideā¦ You were still sitting at a table a few feet away from the front door, not looking up when the Radio Demon you were so familiar with walked inā¦ But the second he reached out to hug you like always, you flinched away without even meaning to, still messed up from what you saw the night beforeā¦ The second you realized what you had accidentally done, you immediately tried to pretend like you hadnāt just flinched, but it was too lateā¦
Both Alastor and Rosie had already seen itā¦ And both of them were worriedā¦
