And when I turn around, I see you there

You got a way to make a problem disappear

Up to the clouds, I'm spinning 'round

And now you know why

'Cause no one in this world can make me feel loved

In the way that you do now

No, no one in this world can make me come down

When I'm in this so good, good mood now

Woo-hoo

Good Mood - Adam Levine

Location: Hell, Hazbin Hotel

Shawntelle woke up for the first time in a long time feeling very well rested, a "smile" was plastered on her face although it faded away as she realized that Charlie wanted to talk to her about her "redemption". Rolling her eye, she got out of bed and stretched popping a few bones in her back. She then rubbed her eye only to feel something wet running from her eye socket she pulled her hand away and saw a reddish slimy fluid 'Should probably clean that out' Shaw thought to herself as she entered the bathroom.

She picked up the bottle of rubbing alcohol and socked a makeup sponge before wiping her eyesocket clean, she then looked in the mirror and flinched slightly this new look was going to take a bit of getting used to.

Once she was dressed up and clicked her sword onto her back she checked her journal, no new paragraphs this morning, interesting.

Suddenly a knock came from the door she went over and opened it to see Angel Dust

"Hey, uhh Shela was it?" He asked

'It's Shawntelle' her eye projected

"Eh close enough" he passed off "Anyway Charlie wants to see you something about activities? I don't know, they weren't sexual so I wasn't paying attention"

'I was just heading down'

"Okay cool, so see you around I guess," Angel said before taking his leave.

Shawntelle made it to the lobby area

"Morning Shawnie!" A loud voice suddenly called from out of nowhere causing Shawntelle to jump and hang upside down on the ceiling using her chains.

Shaw looked down and saw Charlie look up to her, she giggled nervously "Sorry I didn't mean to startle you" She apologized. Shaw just repelled her way down and stood in front of her. "So I was thinking that we could have a little talk about what I have in mind to help you get started"

Shawntelle's eye glowed 'Okay, lead the way' Charlie took her hand and dragged her into an office, Shaw wasn't in the mood to argue with her. Charlie sat down behind a desk and shaw sat in front of it.

"Okay!" Charlie said with her signature smile "I just would like you to go over some stuff with you"

'Okay'

It says on your form that your 'Past Life Occupation' you were "Vice President of the Lost Family Gang" can you please elaborate on that?"

Shaw for a short time just sat there in silence, she realized there's no point in lying. Her eye projected her answer: 'The Lost Family is a gang of teens and young adults who have all been screwed over in some way, Financial problems, abusive families or relationships, broken homes. We give them a place to stay and a place to feel like they belong.'

Charlie leaned in her chair utterly intrigued by Shaw's story. "That sounds noble actually..." She admitted, "So why are you in hell?"

Shaw's eye then projected: 'Because we had to do dumb shit to survive'

Charlie wanted to ask what exactly that meant but that could wait for later. There was only one thing she wanted to know "Do you regret any of it?"

Shawntelle just sat there for a moment...

Flashback:

"DID I FUCKING STUTTER?!" She yelled as she smashed a man in a business suit on the cheek using the butt of her pistol before taking his wallet and phone.

Shaw with a knife pointed at a mother holding her child tightly "Give me you shit" She said with a very calm voice. the mother still holding their daughter tightly, gave Shaw her phone and wallet.

Shaw with a group of her gang were outside a fancy restaurant, vandalizing expensive cars with rocks, pipe wrenches, and spray paint. "Put this on your check, Assholes!" she said with a smirk as she used a pipe wrench to smash off an Austin Martin's side mirror

Shaw smashed a Lost Family member with a pipe wrench after they threatened a new member of the lost who at the time was Hannah

Flashback End:

Shawntelle sat there in silence for a while, her head swam with only some of the things she's had to do to survive. Charlie was still waiting for an answer, her eye glowed 'I did what I had to do'

Not quite the answer Charlie was hoping for but she knew better than to pressure a former gang member with a giant sword on their back. "Okay then, another thing I wished to discuss with you is, do you know what type of demon you are? I did my research but found nothing"

'I just got here, how do you expect me to know what type of demon I am?' Shaw responded bluntly

"Sorry I just hoped you might know something," Charlie said with a sheepish smile "It might be likely you are a new breed of demon" Shaw looked down at her hands, her skin was coloured like charcoal and felt tough like it was pure muscle, and her claws although short were very sharp and durable.

Charlie spoke up again "It is interesting how you don't have any horns, wings, or a tail either. Anyway from tomorrow we officially start your rehabilitation" She handed shaw a slip of paper "Our first activity is Zumba! It starts at 8.30, just meet me here"

Shawntelle mentally groaned, shed rather die again than dance but she had made that journal a promise 'See you then I guess' Shaw said as she walked out the door.

"Bye-bye Shawnie!" Charlie called after her.

Shaw slipped the paper in her pocket before deciding to explore the Hotel. As she walked out of the lobby Vaggie watched her with utter ire, she didn't trust her one bit. She put her ear against the door off Charlie's office, where she heard a party horn and some party poppers going off. Vaggie just let out a deep sigh.
