The Catalyst

Chapter XXXI: Betrayed

Dante stood up next to his mothers dead body. His tears fell to the floor and so did the blood on his hands. A sharp paim ran through the back his head. He screamed and Dark Dante was behind him. "Hahahaha...ohhhh thst was good!" Dark Dante said. "See what you have become Dante. A killer. You just killed the only family you had alive and he wasnt here but a week." Dante turned around to look at Dark Dante as he said that. "I didnt know.......it......it wasnt my fualt." Dante said. "Oh but it was Dante. But you're are using that sadness wrong. Turn it into hate. You know who really done this. Than find them. KILL THEM!" Dark Dante demanded. Dante shook his head and D.D was gone. He didn't want to listen to him anymore.

Before he left the house he took a rose from the flower pot in the kitchen and placed it on his mother. "Im sorry." Dante said. He jumped up through the window and left his mother. "He was right though. I know who did this." Dante thought. "And they must die." Dante walkee back home and threw his knife to the wall. He sat at his desk and covered his face. Until he heard a ringing sound behind him. It wasn't Arno still. But the one who told him to kill his mom. "YOU!" Dante said. "You fucking bastard!" He grabbed the Catalyst and pushed him against a wall. "You fucking knew it was my mom! I know you did!" Dante took a swing and jawed the Catalyst. "Yes. I knew." The Catalyst said standing up. "But she was an interference Dante. And so was Arno. They betrayed us." Dante punched the Catalyst again. "So you killed Arno too?!?" Dante said punching the Catalyst. Dante than got the Catalyst up and pushed him up against the wall again.

"They didnt betray us, whoever the fuck you may be. Becuase there is no us anymore. I dont care what they did, but it sure as hell didn't hurt me like what you made me fucking do!!!" Dante said as he punched the Catalyst again. "Im not one of you anymore." Dante than threw the Catalyst threw his window and than grabbed his knife. He jumped down onto the ground where the Catalyst had landed. "I thought i was in something good. But now. All i see is your betrayal to me." Dante than stabbed the Catalyst in the chest. "Go to hell." Dante said

As Dante made his way back up to his room he looked on his arm and saw the symbol. "No more." Dante said. He took his knife and made it hot with a candle on his desk. After it was hot he took the knife and put it on the symbol. Dante screamed but held the knife to his skin. The pain was almost unbearable. But he didnt stop. After a few seconds he took it off to see the symbol was gone but a new scar was made.

Dante than heard a knock on his door. He opened it to see Layla standing there. "I heard you scream. Is everything alright?" Layla asked. Dante put his arm behind him. "Yeah. Im fine." Dante said. "Just a nightmare." Dante kissed Layla on the forehead and sent her on her way. Dante sat back down on his desk and starred at his knife. "Who am I?" He asked himself. He took the knife and stabbed it into a picture of himself and Jay in his room.

Dante was a free man now. He has no one to tell him what to do now and no one to tell him who to kill. But he wasnt done with his work. It just changed. Instead of one enemy now he has two. The Saints and The Catalysts. Though their names were lies at this point, Dante still had to finish what he started. He said he would change something and thats what he will do. As Dante layed on his bed and starred at the ceiling, he thought about his mom. That image of what he did will scar him for the rest of his life. But Dante still closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep that night. But his mind was cluttered. He now started back where he was when he started.
