Hazbin Hotel - The Rebirth

Secret Struggles

As Odette finds herself face-to-face with the menacing figure of Valentino, her mind reels with fear and confusion. Memories of her past trauma resurface, threatening to overwhelm her as she struggles to maintain her composure.

Valentino: (tauntingly) Aw, what's the matter, sweetheart? Cat got your tongue?

Odette grits her teeth, her hands trembling with a mixture of fear and anger.

Odette: (shakily) You... you're not real. You're just a... a figment of my imagination.

Valentino: (smirking) Oh, I'm as real as they come, baby. And I've been dying to have another little chat with you.

Odette clenches her fists, trying to push back the flood of memories threatening to consume her.

Odette: (desperately) No... I won't let you control me. Not again. You... you're just a memory. You can't hurt me anymore.

Valentino: (mockingly) Oh, sweetheart, you couldn't be more wrong. I'm not just a memory. I'm a part of you, buried deep within your psyche. And no matter how hard you try to forget, I'll always be there, waiting to remind you of what you truly are. A heartless whore in a lab coat with the blood of billions.

Odette: (desperately) No, Valentino. You may be a part of my past, but you don't define who I am. I've grown stronger, and I won't let your twisted words hold power over me anymore.

Valentino's smirk falters slightly as he senses Odette's determination, but he refuses to back down.

Valentino: (sneering) Oh, how precious. But deep down, you know the truth, sweetheart. You'll always be tainted by your past, no matter how hard you try to escape it. You think you can just brush me aside? You think you can escape from your sins? From your guilt? You're nothing without me, Odette. Nothing but a broken doll.

Odette: (panicking) No. I refuse to let you control me any longer. I refuse to let you define who I am. I am not a doll. I am not a puppet. I am... I am...

Suddenly, Valentino puts his finger on Odette's lips as the Carmine scientist tries not to vomit.

Valentino: (smirking) Shh, sweetheart. There's no need for words. Your actions speak louder than anything you could say. Let's just hope your girlfriend won't hear you moan.

Odette: (desperately) No... I won't let you... I won't...

Valentino's mocking laughter echoes in her ears as he leans in closer, his presence looming over her like a dark cloud.

Valentino: (tauntingly) Oh, how you tremble, my sweet little doll. But deep down, you know you belong to me. You were meant to be a slave; that's why your mother had you in the first place.

Odette: (frantically) No... I won't... I won't let you win...

Valentino's menacing grin widens as he leans in even closer, his presence suffocating.

Odette's vision blurs as tears cloud her eyes, her entire being trembling with fear and desperation.

Odette: (whispering) Please... someone... anyone... help me...

As Odette's cries for help echo in the darkness of her mind, a faint glimmer of light appears in the distance, growing brighter with each passing moment. Suddenly, Odette is teleported out of the maze and back outside in front of the others as Emily rushes to her, sensing something is wrong with her girlfriend.

Emily: (worriedly) Odette, what happened? Are you okay?

Odette trembles as she struggles to compose herself, the memories of her encounter with Valentino still haunting her. As she hugs Emily, she bursts into tears as Carmilla walks up to her daughter.
