One night in the crimson moonlight, I found myself waking up on the street bruised all to hell. I had no idea why I was here. Where would I go? I had no choice but to fight for my life to survive. Is anyone there, someone to help me?
Mostly V/ Verg...
(I purposely wanted to make this chapter a bit creepy. Thanks so much for reading! and for all the votes. I'm glad to make people happy with my work.)
Cold..., very cold.
The land was beautifully covered in white shiny snow. It glistened in the sunlight. I felt a chill hit me while I looked at the forest, it was almost creepy. We were alone, just Dante and I.
It was very likely that wolves were watching us from a distance. Wolves that were hungry and would love to gnaw on our bones. Though demons were eve worse, they would easily tear into me if I didn't fight back.
In the past, I used to have nightmares about being attacked, V, Nero and Dante unable to come to help me on time. As I screamed in pain, wanting for them to help me. It was like a was choking at some point, unable to shout for help. I could only watch their horrified faces, trying to get to me on time.
Each time I woke up before anything else would happen.
"Hey ___?"
"Ah!" I jumped back, my head hitting Dante square on the jaw. "A-Aouch..!" Dante gripped his jaw in pain. He coughed a bit. "That was surprising."
"Ahah..sorry." I laughed lightly. "What's got you so jumpy, are you cold?" He stepped right beside me, setting a hand on the side of my face lightly. "Hmm....a bit." Dante glowed red. I furrowed my eyebrows a bit at what he was doing.
"There that should do it, now stay close." He put an arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer. It was odd, the air around him was really warm. Like fire, but it was freezing outside.
"What did you do?" I was almost afraid to ask. "Oh this? I channelled a bit of demonic power. Making the air warmer around us wherever we go."
"Oh I see.." Dante always reminded me of a fire demon, and Vergil some winter demon.
"Now let's keep going, we have a little longer to go. Also careful the cliffs here might be a bit high, and skinny."
I swallowed, slightly gripping Dante's red jacket. He was right, we were really high up.
"There! That big castle." Dante chirped happily, he was so happy to see this castle, I didn't blame him. It was pretty cool. This place screamed abandoned and haunted though, a place where the worst demons hung out.

"Knock knock anyone home?" Dante grinned as we stepped in through the large doors. "H-hey, don't let the demons know we are here..!"
"Why not? it will just make it easier for us."
I facepalmed, letting out a Vergil like sigh. "Woow...yeah okay..man."
I walked up a twisting staircase, while Dante wandered below me on the ground floor. The old painting on the walls were worn out, they had that haunted vibe. Some of the people's faces looked strange from it being worn out. IT was like their eyes followed me as I passed by.
'..n-not creepy at all...' I tried to shake off that feeling like we were being watched. "BOO!" Suddenly Dante showed right up next to me, I let out a scream.
"AH!" All Dante could do was laugh at my reaction. "D-Dante my god! you just about gave me a heart attack stupid!" He could only laugh. "Hahah! you should have seen the look on your face!HAHA!"
His loud voice could only make me feel embarrassed and annoyed. Thanks to his games, my voice probably woke the dead here, or...ghosts.
*Click!*
A loud banging sound came a couple of inches away from us. A painting suddenly dropped off the wall, making me jump back into Dante. Giving him a second to process what was happening. The drop of a painting finally shut him up.
"They're here."
"Yeah, I can see that. It's your fault." Dante had both his hands on my shoulder, almost as if he was hiding behind me.
"Mind letting me go..??" I see a vase shift on a small counter. This was starting to creep me out. Where was Vergil to make Dante focus more?
"How about you go first, you know test it out." My jaw hung open, looking at the devil hunter with shock. "Yeah first to get swatted at, how's that fair?"
Dante only shoved me forward playfully. "Go and enjoy the show." My eyes twitched at his actions. He was using me as bait, just what on earth was Dante planning?!'

Dante watched carefully as my shaky body walked closer and closer to the random objects moving. 'Sorry ____, this is the only way they will come out. My aura is too strong, these little buggers are smarter.'
Dante prayed Vergil wouldn't find out that he was using her as bait.
