I edited as much as I could, but for fear of imposter syndrome striking me again and keeping me from ever sharing this, I'm going to post and pray. Please let me know what corrections need to be made and I will update as necessary. 

Also: fun fact I’ve never actually played Among Us, but I’m obsessed with the idea of it. My knowledge is brought to you by hours of watching streams on YouTube. Any inaccuracies are just *the afterlife version of Among Us* :)

I'm very excited to introduce you all to some interesting people this chapter, including a new POV. Lily isn't quite the healthy badass we know in Hells Belles yet, but she's getting there. Familiar faces are going to start making appearances soon, and I can't wait to share them with you.

Thank you all for the support! Enjoy!

I just did the same thing with the videos on TikTok! And it was the best time I’ve had in a long time! Jaysea, if you see this i want to thank you. From the bottom of my heart thank you. I’ve had a rough couple months to say the least, and your series and stories have given me something to look forward to in these crazy couple of months. I look forward to ever story and video. You truly have a gift and i hope you keep writing! I can’t wait to see what you do next! ❤️❤️

Kelsey Springer

Greggles was worth the patreon alone I love his and bels dynamic! And angel! This was such a good seen you do dialogue so well. I love seeing Lilys journey. And it’s not even called hellp desk yet ah!

Ben Preheim

Okay, so I get the reference to Tom Bombadil, but come on! I'm begging, on my hands and knees, for the full edition of For Whom the Belle Tolls, to include Lily absentmindedly talking to a gentleman in tweed smoking a pipe about her Strawberry harvest, finally getting his name as he walks away 'Ronald' and only later realizing that was The Professor himself.

Katy

You are a gift 😭 every chapter is a treasure- thank you, thank you, thank you

Samantha Pare

That feel about the pearly gates ... I felt that in my soul.

Carol johnson

I am so lucky. I get to binge read so many chapters!! ❤️🩷❤️

Erika Wood

I'm feel so incredibly lucky to get to binge this now. I absolutely love your writing.

Belle

Yayyy I’m so exciteddd 🥰🥰🥰

Belle

I absolutely love this series I watch it with my baby every day (she’s 4 months now I’ve done it even thru pregnancy) you’re my favorite and I love you 🥰💕

Thornblade

Ahhhhh excitement!!! I'll be reading this tonight and will comment back! Without even reading it yet I know I'll love it, you do amazing work Jaysea!

Laura Rennhack

I literally read it as soon as I got the notification. You are a fantastic writer!

Embeth Arreyn

I know I met my husband playing an MMO, but damn, I want to meet my wife playing Among Us! <3 That was so freaking adorable and I loved it so much <3 And now I just want to give "Still in her Chrysalis" Lily a hug. I know where she's going, but I still want to be there for her along the way. This was a wonderful chapter! I know it was a struggle, proud of you for getting it out!! The jokes and nerdy bits were so fun, I love the characterization (I wanna meet fun Persephone!!), your pacing was on point, your continuity (as always) was spot on... you're doing great!! I can't wait to read the next chapter, when it feels healthy and fulfilling to write. No pressure bestie! <3

Trish Ramey

Beautiful and poignant. I like how you weave emotion and laughter together. It feel genuine and authentic.

Kirsty Skok

My only complaint would be that I read too quickly! 😂 I want to savour it all but I also really want to know what happens.

Elle

Beautiful as always!! Thank you so much! I look forward to your posts!

Kristiane Laucht

Wow! That made me feel a lot of things in a very short amount of time. The jokes between Bel and Lily. Puntastic! Have used some of them myself. Lily's first interaction with a deity? The panic? Word vomit? 10/10. Same. The way you managed to describe that feeling, like something is missing or sitting wrong? You have put it into words better then I have ever seen before. I could talk about every sentence and just how well you have put this all together, if someone let me.

Elizabeth Scalf

I love this so far! I only have one “critique” I wish the chapters were longer and came out sooner 😂 can’t wait for the next chapter. You capture the feeling so vividly of being the innocent one but feeling the shame. It does help to read and watch the episodes. Thank you for creating this outlet that helps us vent and figure things out.

Jackie

First read thru was great. The wait is always worth it!

Carrie Brooks

There are so many things I liked about this episode- such as the hobbit jokes. “Greggles”??? Perfect! But dang it, Jaysea, I’ve already cried once this week and I just cried again. Your portrayal of Lily is brilliant. So much of what is swirling around inside her resonates with me. Watching her beginning to find healing and purpose in the afterlife is achingly beautiful.

FreyjaBlight13

I completely understand imposter syndrome, but just remember we love you for you! We support you, and we got your back!

Gracey Lela

I cannot wait for the entire book to come out. Genuinely such a incredibly talented writer, such a blessing to be able to read it chapter by chapter. I really think I’m going to love everything you put out into the world but this universe you’ve created will have a special place in my heart forever ☺️

Randi Mutchler

Not many errors I found and honestly I LOVE the way you have the POVs separated its easy to tell who's view point it is. PLEASE keep writing I'm addicted and need more!!!!!

Elizabeth

It was awesome. I loved it. Definitely worth waiting for.

Delia Isaac

This was fabulous! I really felt Lily's sense of urgency and her overall unsteadiness with the new space she has found herself in. I think half the reason she's in paradise is because she was worried about being a bad person and that introspection led to actions and behaviors that produced more kindness than not. Also, super loved the rubber duck thing. Gonna have to use that.

Wolfie

once again, it ended way too quickly

La Yuca Mala

Im just mad their isn't more 😅🤣🤣 loved this episode, so much fun 🥰

Ana-Elizabeth Arnao

I love Lily. Like, truly. The depth and realness, the rawness. I love her. I love this world, I love these people. You made a place that I hope actually exists as an option for the after life.

Ainsley Bowers

That was perfect thank you for yet another amazing chapter you really are an amazing writer.

Ann Sullivan

Medic!! I need hugs! Beautifully written. Love it!

Callahan Noelle Davenport

This chapter was so beautiful this Vision of the afterlife is just stunning! Thank you for your awesome storytelling ♥️♥️

Amber Roig

I absolutely love it. It ended way to soon. Your style of writing is amazing and real. Please keep up the fantastic work and know that we eagerly anticipate every new chapter. Hugs and love.

CAITLIN CHRISTINE ACREE

These are amazing and you get wicked into the pages. You read the 17 so fast. Loved it

Tracy Polasek

I love Lilly. I want to hug her and and be her apprentice.

Kristan Lamb

This is such an amazing, original work of art! It’s not even finished and is already my favorite story. I totally get the imposter syndrome but I hope you know that you are genuinely skilled and have so many people who admire you for bringing compassion, light, and love through your stories.

Kandice Herrera

My only complaint is that it ended. Wonderful as always and cannot wait for the next!

Brian Shannon

Beautiful! world, characters, story!

Kim Bowie

I glanced over at the sidebar and positively despaired when I saw that it was almost at the bottom. Just one more page! LOVE your story! You can ditch the imposter syndrome. You'll always have plenty of critics (everyone does) so just don't join that crowd. You belong with the cool kids and artists.

Van Brewer

Damn this is good!!! The game dialogue was great, love the interactions and how you’re defining the characters personalities. Two double lattes awarded for the Common Grounds introduction and meeting Persephone. Ya know, I get that imposter syndrome is real, and a little doubt is a healthy thing anyway right? It helps us challenge ourselves. But there’s a difference between hubris and pride in your work. Trust the objective evidence - you’re good at this. Trust your own judgment and skills and talent because that’s proven to work fantastic. I mean look back a year, see where you are now, and hit fast forward another year. If it takes you longer to write something it’s because you’re developing a better product. If you don’t release something on an arbitrary schedule it’s because you’d rather get it right then quick. That’s a good thing. Anyway, great work again and I look forward to the next installment.

Jessica Tanner

I keep finding myself with an ache in my soul. Both for everything Lilly has had to deal with but also because I don't want to stop reading. reading each new chapter is like watching your garden bloom. You love watching it all form but you also can't wait for the "harvest". Positive thoughts and energy sent your way. #hugs

Shawn M McFadden

Jaysea, I've gotta say with each new chapter, you solidify your spot as my new favorite author. Add that to your position as top actor, as well. You have a way with words, and an ability to draw your audience into the story that just leaves us wanting more and more. Reading this story makes it even more amazing to think that the Hell's Belles vids are all done by improv. You have great talent and I think it will take you far

Thornblade

Okay, finally had the chance to read it and I'm in love. Absolutely stunning work as always Jaysea! The world you are creating and the way it all builds is just gorgeous all the way around. Everyone and everything is unique yet relatable. You have a marvelous gift and it's such a treat to see you express it.

Staffan Lindell

Ok, this is officially getting painful. These are so good I can’t wait for the rest of them. On which altar do we sacrifice our soul for the whole book?

Jenny Shaw

Well that chapter just ran me over with a truck! I love it!! Imposter syndrome who? I've got a gnarly cold but I stayed up till one reading it twice. I can't wait for the next one. No notes, no changes. You've got talent my girl.

Mänu Wüthrich

That ending. Jaysea, i am flabbergasted at how you keep finding stories that just hit my through my heart. You are absolutely amazing.

Chandra

So many feels. Keep fighting the imposter syndrome, you are a brilliant writer. Your ability to have us emotionally connected to and fully resonating with your characters is the most important thing, and you’ve done that beautifully. I can’t wait for the next one, keep going! You’re doing great!

Buddasmom07

Thank you so much for writing this as well as the skits you do. My daughter and I absolutely love these. We love to see when you have posted and will immediately tell the other there's new ones available. You are doing amazing. We can't wait for the next one.

Samantha Johnson

Everytime I hit the last page of the chapter I want to cry a little because I have to wait again. The wait is a million percent worth it, every single time. But still, lol thank you! I'm loving this so, so much.

Angharad k

Omg I love it so much you are amazing 👏 💖 I got so exited when I saw there was a new one please NEVER STOP ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dana Walsh

Love the work! It’s being written beautifully. I might only suggest making the font size a little bigger before making it a PDF. For me it’s a little hard to read on mobile. But thank you for the wonderful story!

chrissy allen

Amazing! Love the story! I get an email alert for new posts, but I still look EVERY day!! Your doing amazing!

Anna c

You did an absolutely stunning job on this chapter, thank you for taking courage and sharing it 💛

Celine Gorman

Each chapter gets better and better. I cannot wait to be able to sit and read this book in it’s entirety one day. You are an amazing writer 💛💛

Jackie Costa

That was so good!! I swear your writing gets better and better each chapter. ❤️

Ivy Lyn

Jaysea, I just love your writing style! I love getting to see inside Lily’s head. I also think “fuck fuckity fuck fuck” on the regular and it makes me feel less weird that Lily, albeit a fictional character, does it too!

Kim Owen

Amazing work !!! I’m loving the story and your writing is awesome.

yoshi garnett

Lily meets sharkie before she officially meets bel first right. I dont know why but this thought wont leave my head without an answer. But also im loving ur world building right now. When this story came to u did it start as a character, full/partial concept, or like i mini story. I ask because i tell my self mini stories ,when bored and restless, and have started writing them down. The ones i remember and try to expand on i try to fully develop the characters and setting.

Van Brewer

There's a short where Sharkie sees & reacts to Bel meeting Lily in person, but so far in the prequel they've only met online. You could be right both ways :). Also, neat hobby.

Brooklyn Gotelaere

This is so so good! As an avid reader as well, my big thing is being able to see what I’m reading and to fall into it. Your writing makes me fall into your story. It’s so so good! I can’t wait until we get the next chapter!

AmazonV

each chapter is just so good, thank you for writing this and sharing it with us.

Stuart Grosse

As a writer, I can tell you that imposter syndrome is something you constantly have to fight against. Just keep putting words on the page, and sending it out there. You're already have a badass universe going on, and the story works. Keep going!

Artwish

Please make this a book. This is so good!

Gabriel Charles

I was lured in by your tik toks, it is so amazing to read your work and get the origin story of my favorite characters. I hope you keep finding the energy and support to write and create and keep your worlds going.

Maryann

This is the best chapter yet! 😍❤️‍🩹 That ending had my chest tight, and for the first time ever, I put your writing down instead of trying to scroll for more. You ended this chapter perfectly. It hits really close to home for me, in a somewhat painful, yet also good way. VERY well done. And thank you very much indeed. Not only am I loving the story, it’s got a bit of “doing therapy through writing/reading that can give the words a strong impact. Very well done. Thank you for sharing despite your fears. I absolutely needed this today, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Amanda D

I live for these updates diving more into a world i fell in love with on the ticky tok. I did catch a typo, if no one else pointed it out, and if they did I am sorry I'm repeating someone. "There was only gate that Lily refused to go near." I think a 'one' was missing between the only and gate. I can not wait for the next update ^.^ <3

Jillian Morris

So good! I have read published book that are not as well edited. Don’t be so hard on yourself. This series is great!

Chasarae

That's one way to meet a goddess....can't wait for more!

Ellie

That was a good read! Thank you

Ivy Lyn

The Beleth POV was just 😍😍😍😍😍😍 I would absolutely love to see more of that!

Castiel Rin

i spent an hour and a half last night "binge-reading" this and can i just say... i am looking forward to new chapters like i look forward to new videos! Jaysea, if you see this i just want you to know ive always been terrified of dying, and you and the Belles have really helped me ease that fear a bit. much love, keep up the AMAZING work!!

Nova Stitch Creations

Absolutely amazing! I look forward to every installment. Seeing "Greggles" had me laughing out loud. Nerd Wife! Nerd Husband! Yes! Love this so much! Brilliant work!

Maiyin

This is just so lovely, Hells Bells have become my comfort series, in a very tumultous life

Taylor Smagacz

I think a fun bonus chapter would be how Bel got Lily her new crown (that he presumably stole from queen Lizzie RIP)!

Peter Psareas

I first read this on a small device while on vacation. Just reread it more attentively. This is your best work. I see you growing as an author. So well done. Thank you so much
