Kapitel 20: Chapter 20: You're Heaven-sent.
*
"Charlie it's just perfect," you said with a smile as you looked at the size of the room.
You had imagined it much smaller, but frankly you weren't on it, there was so much space, there was easily the possibility of putting the customers on one side so he could eat and make a beautiful dance floor on the other.
"Do you think so?" she asked.
"Yes really, I'm sure this room will be a big hit once it's repainted and furnished. You'll be very proud of it, Charlie."
A big smile of hope formed on Charlie's lips. You couldn't help but feel amused, her excitement easily matched that of a child and it was really cute.
Of course you knew that more would be needed to help this hotel and that this business had very little chance of success, but strangely enough, Charlie's good mood gave you the will to try your best.
"What's up girls? " cried a voice
*
You turned to the door and saw Angel holding some paint buckets with Nicolai and Vaggie. Charlie grabbed a seal that Vaggie was holding and a paint roller.
You did the same and started painting the walls. Well... you, Charlie Vaggie and Nikolai. Angel was setting up the bar in the room with Husk.
It wasn't long before Boris arrived in the hall.
*
"The demonic Bambi finally left you alone, Big brother?" Nikolai asked with a big smile.
You immediately turned to your friend with concern, ignoring Charlie and Vaggie's little laughs.
You analyzed him carefully, but fortunately he had nothing. Boris gave his brother a smile in response and gave you a reassuring look like telling you not to worry.
You immediately put down your paint roller and walked towards him.
"What did he say to you? " You asked quietly.
"Nothing that should keep you awake at night, little boss. »
"Don't lie to me, Boris. "You have asked sternly
"He asked me to leave this hotel with my brother nothing more, I refused and I made it clear to him that we were staying here."
You frowned pretty hard when your heard the whole thing. Boris noticed it quickly and placed one hand on your shoulder.
*
"Well!" he said energetically. "I can see there's still a lot to be done in this room. »
The wolf-dog looked carefully at the walls and Husk's bar. Yes, it was far from over.
He sighed and rolled up his sleeves before grabbing a paint roller and helping you paint the walls.
*
"So, um... how long have you known each other? "Charlie asked.
Boris looked at you as if he was waiting for your permission to answer. You took a little peek at Charlie, and then you nodded your head.
"It's been a few years now, we were in the same mob back then."
"And what were you in charge of? "Vaggie asked suspiciously.
"I wasn't very good in the field when it came to hand-to-hand combat, so the boss put me in front of computers. I was in charge of hacking into cameras, various microphones, as well as the personal data of mafia targets. I was kind of "everywhere" and "nowhere at the same time."
"What about Nikolai?"
"Nikolai was in charge of recon, who would suspect a child after all? He was also in charge of planting the bombs."
Charlie's mouth opened slightly in surprise when Boris talked about his brother's job, she discreetly looked at the little Beagle talking with Angel and his face became more saddened.
"It's unfortunate that a child has to do this kind of thing, if I may ask, how did you end up into this? »
«...»
"You don't have to talk about it Boris" you said in a cold tone without really looking at him. You knew his story and you knew it was painful for him.
"No, little boss, it's ok, after all i they want to help us they have to know" The wolf-dog sighed and went back to work while answering Charlie, "Our parents were very poor but we did our best to stick together, unfortunately our mother died of illness. We didn't have enough money to pay for the medicine that could have saved her. Our father had a breakdown and fell into gambling.
Afterwards we were more than indebted. His gambling addiction caused him a lot of problems, and he ended up having a falling out with the wrong person. One night a man came into our house with a gun and shot our father right in front of us. I knew that my brother and I were next. So I hurried to get the gun we kept for backup."
He looked at his right hand as if he was reliving the scene. "It was my first murder. " He finished by looking up at the ceiling.
"My brother and I decided to leave, because we both knew we could be separated when the authorities arrived, I had no work, and for them, I wouldn't be able to provide for my little brother.
We lived in misery and were reduced to stealing to survive." He stopped his story for a moment and put a smile on his face. "But we were never complained about it ! At least we were together and that was all we wanted.
One day we arrived in the town where Y/N worked and the boss noticed us." He lost his smile and then looked down." He "offered" to join him and of course it was easy to see that we had no choice.'
*
Charlie had tears in her eyes at the end of your friend's story. His lower lip was trembling slightly and his fists were so tight that his joints turned white,
"I'm really sorry you had to go through that with Nikolai. It's awful. "
She walked towards Boris and gently took his hands with a look of confidence and determination.
"I promise you, we're going to get you out of here Boris, we're going to do everything we can to get you and your little brother to heaven."
Boris smiled benevolently at her, and gently grabbed her shoulders.
"You're too nice, Charlie." He paused, "You know, I think it's so sad that the world rejects people like you, it needs them so desperately..."
You quietly looked at your friend, you heard that little tremor in his voice, showing his pain and sadness. Boris hadn't been luckier than you on many things, just like you, nobody reached out to help him, he always had to fend for himself, he always had to face your boss's anger when Nikolai didn't understand orders or when he stood up to your boss.
*
"Why are they here?" You've asked yourself mentally. He may have killed people, but he deserved to go to Heaven, unlike him, you had your choice many times, and that didn't stop you from pulling the trigger on your gun. Nikolai was forced to place the bombs to protect his brother from the fury of the boss, so neither brother had a choice, unlike you...
*
"So..." Boris said energetically with a smile. "It's not to say, but at this rate we're not finished. Nicky! Can you put a little atmosphere here please?"
At these words, the little Beagle was startled and a huge, enthusiastic smile formed on his face...
"OH YES! Right away, big brother. " he says running outside the room.
Your eyes locked with those of Boris and you asked in a dubious tone.
"You're not going to sing?"
"And why not my little boss? I've improved a lot since then! Plus I just thought of something to finish this play faster."
Nikolai suddenly returned to the room with his phone and a sound amplifier. He connected his phone and put on music.
https://youtu.be/ykiq_IrzTfw
(A/N) : I really laughed when I saw this music, you can choose another music it doesn't affect the story.
Immediately the music burst out, surprising everyone, even Husk who was drinking a bottle. Unconsciously, you wanted to move, but your mind was doing its best to control your body.
Charlie tapped her foot lightly on the floor as the music began. Angel looked at the scene with interest as he asked Husk for a drink.
Boris moved in rhythm as he continued to paint the walls, then he began to sing, of course you immediately recognized the song and refrained from singing, instead you placed a small amused smile on your face and looked at the wolfhound with a tune saying "You will never change".
*
Suddenly Boris snapped his fingers and three clones of himself appeared behind him and started singing with him. You blinked several times. Since when did Boris have this kind of power? And why didn't he tell you?
Without being able to ask you any more questions the real Boris grabbed you by the waist and made you dance in the room while his clones took over. Charlie and Vaggie looked at each other and started dancing while painting the walls with energy. For your part you couldn't help but laugh.
"You'll never really change, as soon as you can play to the gallery you do. "
The wolf-dog winked at you and whirled you around several times before letting go. You laughed again at his boldness and went back to work while dancing. You noticed that Charlie Vaggie had both big smiles on their faces and seemed to be enjoying themselves, Angel was dancing with a Boris' clone and you noticed that his movements were a bit "subjective" so you preferred to roll your eyes and continued your work.
Then suddenly, you heard Nikolaï join his brother in the song, the little beagle was singing very well, it was the first time you heard him singing seriously, you immediately turn to him with interest.
The two brothers danced and sang in a perfectly synchronized way, even Husk seemed impressed.
Boris and Nikolai began to paint with you while singing, both of them looked at you with begging eyes and you had understood what they wanted.
You sighed and smiled. Well fuck it! It's been so long since you've shared this kind of moment with your friends and you needed it, or God, you desperately needed it. You sang the last chorus with them and soon, you moved on to another song and another, Charlie also sung a song as well and seemed beyond "happy".
At the end of this improvised karaoke, the room was entirely finished thanks to the help of the clones that Boris had called. He stretched out while Nikolai jumped with excitement.
*
"It was so awesome bro!"
"Thank you Nik." Said his brother, ruffling his hair...
He looked at the room that was now ready. He made his clones disappear and turned to Charlie.
"Is it okay for you Charlie?"
"If it's okay for me?! " asked Charlie with a big smile "It's perfect Boris! Just perfect! Thank you so much for this moment and your help and your brother's."
The blonde cheerfully groped her own cheeks while Vaggie gave the two brothers a thank-you smile.
"I know I really shouldn't say this. " She said, lowering the volume of her voice slightly. She approached Boris and said, "I understand now why the expression "Heaven sent you" exists.
You immediately froze at the sound of Charlie's words ... "Send from heaven." The memories of that day exploded in your brain like a bomb. This realization was so sudden that you forgot for a moment to breathe.
Could it be that...?
You didn't hear Boris's answer, but you assumed he was slightly embarrassed by such a compliment. You smiled faintly and walked out of the room, telling Charlie that you were going to take a little break alone outside the hotel.
*
Once the cool evening air made contact with your skin you looked up to the sky. Your eyes shone with an almost "childlike" curiosity and hope. "You unconsciously joined your hands and while trying to control all the theories that were going through your head.
Was it a coincidence? Or was it really a divine will that Boris and Nikolai were here?
If that was the case, if Boris and Nikolai had been sent here, then could it be that God himself believes in rehabilitation? Could it be that there was hope?
You've taken a step forward and you haven't taken your eyes off the sky. You hadn't noticed it, but a little smile had formed on your lips. Oh how you wanted to believe that God believed in this project.
You placed your hand on your chest while taking a deep breath while closing your eyes.
For the first time in a long time you felt something. Something you thought you'd destroyed long ago. For a moment you felt strange, as if a soft warmth enveloped you, you felt almost different, almost outside of what was now your body.
All you felt was that feeling of contentment, that lightness in your chest... and that feeling... oh yes, that feeling, that feeling which had just been reborn inside you was so soft, so comforting. You gently opened your eyes which had become wet with the appearance of this new feeling. Your lips moved unconsciously and two word shyly left your throat.
*
"Hope... Faith"
*
You looked up at the sky again, then after a brief moment of hesitation, you spoke in an almost inaudible voice.
"Look, I don't know if you had anything to do with what's going on, and I know that if I'm wrong I'll certainly sound like the stupidest demon in hell. However... if I am right and it's not a coincidence... I guess I can tell you... thank you..."
Was it another coincidence when a gentle breeze caressed your cheek in response? You didn't know but you hoped it was.
Maybe God was waiting to see what Charlie could do, almost like some kind of test.
Maybe she was indirectly helping him to judge if he hadn't been mistaken in his view of sinners and annual exterminations ... a bit like you.
If God himself saw hope in this project, perhaps all was not lost for Boris and Nikolai or even Angel and all the other sinners who wanted to redeem themselves.
You looked at your hands and trembled slightly.
Maybe all was not lost for you...
Maybe you could see your father, BF/N and your child again.
You lowered your head as a tear fell on your cheek. Of course you had very little chance but maybe there was some hope for you, just a little bit so that you could just see them again and tell them how sorry you are and continue to take care of themself.
You did not care if you had to stay in hell, you only wanted to see your loved ones just once ... Just once would be the most beautiful thing that God could give you if you could repent.
*
As more tears were about to fall on your cheeks, your ears quickly became alert.
"Are you enjoying the view, my dear? "
...
Why did he have to come and destroy this moment?
*
You discreetly dried your tears, but without realizing it you smiled sincerely and turned around.
"Indeed, Alastor, I strangely find the sky much more beautiful tonight," you said.
The deer stared at you confusedly, it was the first time he saw you so... "Happy"? His mind was trying to analyze what could have put you in such a good mood but he couldn't see what it could have been at all.
"Are you feeling okay?" He asked curiously.
You laughed and walked past him.
"I don't think I've been this well in a very long time... Well now if you'll excuse me I'll go and help Nifty to prepare Dinner for tonight.
