The Catalyst

Chapter XIX: The Sense

Dante woke up and headed straight for the school. Nobody was there but he was determined and ready to do anything. He broke in to the school and headed down to the hall where 555 had appeared. He took out the coin and dropped it in front of the wall where 555 was at. The wall faded away and the endless darkness lay ahead of Dante. Inside the darkness that faint whisper was heard again. "Dante. Something troubles you." The darkness said this slowly and demonic. "Yes something dies trouble me. Why did they take her? Where did they go?" The darkness went silent for a moment, but than spoke again.

"She was a distraction Dante. You know you wouldve told her." Dante became enraged at this answer. "I wouldnt have fucking told her." Dante said. "And even if I did its not like she would stay with long enough to care." The darkness fell silent again, as though it was trying to think what to say. "They took her. You know that much. I cannot tell you where. But i can give you the tools to find her yourself." "And what about the Catalysts? Hmmm? What do i do with them?" Dante said. "You still work for them. Theres nothing more you can do but get this done and finish what you started."

"Fuck." Dante said. He knew that he couldn't just leave and quit being a Catalyst. But what they did to him will never be forgotten. "So what tools will you give me than?" Out of the darkness came an orb of sorts. It was glowing white. Dante picked it up. As soon as he touched it his vision went black and he saw figures of students walking down the hallway. The orb disappeared and Dante blinked and his vision was back to normal. There were no students. "What was that?" Dante asked. "A gift." The darkness said. "The gift too look a short distance in the past and too see things that humans cant normally see.

Dante blinked hard again and was back to the sence. He looked down at his hands. They were white and glowing. He than looked at the students that were going down the hall. Behind them were long white trails. Dante instantly knew what he could do. He got out of the sense. "So i can use this to show where they took her? But they faded away. Into thin air." Dante said. "Yes this is true. But do you think that they dont go anywhere when they do that? After all they cant stay like that forever."

Dante nodded and headed down the hallway. "Thank you!" He yelled while leaving the entrance to room 555. The wall faded back to cover the darkness as Dante walked away. As Dante walked towards his house, there were multiple flashes of images and pain in his head. He screamed and fell to the ground as images of blood and a knife came to his vision. He screamed and soon enough blacked out from the pain. Dante lay in the snow next to a bush as the light of day slowly faded away.
