----
Sorry for being late. I had to visit my family for important shit like rent. Anyways, right now, I will be exploring the origin of the cursed book of rituals and why Charlie went back home.

-Charlie's POV-
>'I'm sorry but I needed to go now! I don't know how long it's been since I was gone!'
>Charlie ran to a secluded area and when nobody was there, she closed her eyes and teleported back to her room.
>Back in her room, Charlie collapsed onto the floor and received a very painful migraine.
>She could barely get up and she felt weak. The only thing on her mind was rest.
>For those who don't know, the ritual Charlie did earlier was permanent in which only a high-class demon/fallen angel by blood can do.
>You see, this ritual was tedious for a reason since it not only allows the demon to go to the surface but it allows the demon to travel back and forth whenever they want at any time.
>The book itself had major drawbacks that could affect the user depending on their power level and experience. A migraine is one of the luckier consequences an inexperienced user could go through.
>If Charlie wasn't such a high class demon by power and blood, she would've suffered worse consequences such as dehydration, paralysis, or even total organ failure just to name a few.
>Charlie laid on the floor for what felt like 15 minutes of torture until she felt like she could get up again.
-
>Very few knew the history and the power of the book she currently possessed. The book itself used to have much more copies. However, the power of the books were so dangerous that the fallen angels and the exterminators had to get rid of it.
>Most of the books were then burnt in a bonfire with only very few copies remaining.
>It all happened around 5,000 years ago when Hell was much more different back then.
>Hell was more or less what it was originally supposed to be, atleast in the eyes of the fallen angels.
>The original group of fallen angels saw Hell as a secret domain and paradise, away from His Light. It was one that the imps had before they were subjugated and enslaved.
>The fallen angels, especially ones like Lucifer, were quite content with their new home until the first sinners started showing up.
>Furious that God allowed the dead mortal souls to inhabit their domain, Lucifer decided to team up with other high ranking demons to create a cursed book and some multiple copies.
>The books were then either used for emergencies, raids, or for cruel tortures towards the first few sinners when they started arriving to Hell.
>However, as the sinner population kept expanding beyond their control, the books were then rounded up and burnt all except for a few, due to the angels wanting their fallen counterparts to stop using the books or else they will interfere with force.
>Eventually, after a bitter agreement that stayed around for thousands of years, the legend of the cursed books mostly faded into obscurity.
-
>Charlie only knew bits and parts of the original legend from when her father talked with his old friends about the "good ol' times."
>Anyways, let's go back to how Charlie's doing.
>Charlie got up and the migraine started disappearing quickly.
>Charlie didn't usually feel that much physical pain during her life thanks to her mother's and father's endurance.
>Charlie sees that the supplies for the ritual are still around and knew she had to get rid of it quick.
>Charlie looked at the clock in her room and saw that she was gone for 5 hours.
>Her face became drained in color and she quickly put out the candles. She picked up the horns from the pentagram and put it back in the gift box from her aunt.
>Charlie saw the pentagram on the floor that was drawn with markers and panicked.
>'If only I paid attention to summoning class! Looks like I need to get the cleaning supplies myself.'
>Charlie became filled with dread as she hears multiple voices from the hallway.
>It seems that Lucifer and Lilith were back and they were talking with the von Eldritch's about something.
>Charlie carefully went to the door and closed it behind her.
-
>Charlie remembered she still looked like a human and went back to her demon form in her original outift.
>'That was close! I don't know what I would do if they saw me looking like a human.'
>The quickest route to the cleaning room was blocked by her parents and their fellow aristocrats.
>Charlie sees the stairway that although took 7 minutes longer to get to the cleaning room, it wasn't occupied at the moment.
>Charlie waits for a minute just in case anyone comes over to see her and when nothing happened, she bolted to the stairway.
>Charlie quickly ran down the stairs and arrived to the right floor.
>Just as Charlie was going to the cleaning room, her father teleported right in front of her and he tilted his head.
"Oh hi Charlie! I was just looking for you. Lil and I were looking for you since one of our maids told us you were going out in the city. Anyways, we need you to come to a family meeting as we were talking with some family friends!"
"Anyways, while the grownups talk, why don't you hang out with Harold and Helsa?"
>Charlie internally cringed at that and gave Lucifer a pleading look.
-
>"Dad, you know how I feel about Harold and especially about Helsa. I don't think she likes me that much..."
>Lucifer sighs and looks at Charlie.
>Charlie knows how he tries his hardest to bring the two families closer and how he wants his daughter to make some friends.
"Because you're my little appleseed, fine. 25 minutes to get ready and your mom will be by your side, alright. After that, we can stop by for some ice cream, okay?"
>Charlie smiled a little and thanked him.
>Lucifer vanished into a cloud of smoke and Charlie managed to retrieve the cleaning supplies.
>As Charlie ran back up the stairs and back to her room, she went to work and quickly cleaned the marker stains away.
>Thank goodness she didn't use permanent markers.
>Little did she know, a part of Charlie awakened to have a sense that works even when she isn't in Hell. Think of it as a sort of secondary vision. It would serve very useful for her later on when she's traveling back and forth between the two realms.
>Especially now that she made a new friend in the mortal world.

Part 7 of "Two Worlds Collide" is now finished and so is my ice cream. In short, Charlie almost got caught by her dad and she plans to continue visiting Al in New Orleans since now, she can teleport back and forth without going through the hassle of setting everything up again. And that's all for part 7 of "Two Worlds Collide." Cursed Anon, out.
