Searching for you

Chapter 12

Warning: Swearing, short chapter.

________

Nero, finally snapping out of his shock was running down the hill trying to find Nico. He stopped however when he caught a glimpse of black hair. No it couldn't be. I thought Vergil killed her. Looking ahead of him he then ran to ledge where he saw the blackness disappear too. Hopping onto it he rounding the corner. What he saw shocked him to his core.

In front of him was indeed Laura but she looked like the death scissors. Her skin was black and smokey. Like V's skin it was cracking and flacking every second. Her clothes were blackened while dark wisps surrounded the edge of her being. Her hair flew freely yet it miraculously stayed out of her face. Her eyes unlike a blue or black were shining a brilliant red in her smokey image.

Swallowing the lump in his throat he took a step forward. "Laura is... is that you?" Nero asked. She didn't answer instead she fired a lightning bolt at him. Nero quickly dodged. "LAURA DON'T YOU RECOGNIZE ME!" he yelled. She ignored him and continued to attack him. "Damnit!" the white haired male cursed. Grabbing Red Queen he began firing his sword up.

Laura began following him, not giving him either a chance to attack nor run away. What's gotten into her? the boy asked. "A stain on my bloodline, a mistake that should have died in her womb." the womans voice distorted heavily by a males.

What the fuck! Nero exclaimed in his head, startled by the voice. Wait, should have died in her womb? he wondered brows furrowing as he continued to run. Turning to face the spectre he swung the now fully charged Red Queen at them. They screamed as they flashed into the center of the large ledge. "What do you mean 'should have died in her womb'?" Nero demanded, Red Queen on his shoulder. The spectre glared at him through cloudy hands. The white haired male squinted his eyes wondering if he was still in shock from Vergil being his father.

At the base of the spectre' left middle finger there was an equally bright red eye. It glared at him, Nero took a step back, something inside him screaming for him to run. The ghost removed their hands from their face, a smirk spreading across their lips. "Finally! I will write that foolish child' wrong!" it yelled in joy. Racing towards Nero he dodged again. Damn IIIIIIIIIIIT! Nero yelled in his mind beginning to run.

He kept running until the spectre got tired of chasing him. "You little imp!" it cried. Going to the center of the ledge. The spectre raised its arms and just like Artemis, light started to center on them. Rushing towards them Nero swung Red Queen down towards their face but unlike last time it had no effect. Glancing towards the eye on their hand it seemed to glow. Well looks like that's gonna have to be the case. he thought. Placing his sword on his back the white haired hunter took out Blue Rose aiming it at the eye.

Charging it up he quickly fired it. The two bullets hit bullseye making it flinch. The demon screamed in agony. Raising its hand it looked at the damage the two bullets had done. Snapping towards Nero it was about to throw an insult but said hunter threw down his charged sword.

The demon shrieked and writhed in agony. Swiftly the smoky being crumbled away but before it could Nero grabbed it with his devil breaker. "Now answer me. What the hell did you mean 'should have died in the womb'?" The grip on the demon tightening. Red eyes stared at him but then smirked. Lightning sparks came from overture however before Nero could do anything the demon crumbled away. "You shall see Son of Sparda. You shall see." it's whispers echoing around the area.

"What the fuck!" Nero mumbled.
