Identity. Devil May Cry.

Chapter 2.

Raven yawned and stretched, still laying down. The bed was so comfy she didn't want to get up, she just wanted to lay here forever. She rolled onto her back and got into savasana, this being the comfiest right now. She was about to fall back asleep but then there was a knock at the door that got her to jump up.
"I'm getting up," Raven said and mimicked the male voice she's been using for so long. She got out of bed and grabbed the ace bandages, tightly wrapping her chest so she appeared as flat chested as a boy. She slipped her jeans on and put her shirt and flannel back on, looking around for where her knife is. She found it almost completely under the bed and picked it, putting it back in her pocket. She put her combat boots on and laced them up. Finally, she grabbed her mask and put it on. Time to start work.

She unlocked the door to see Dante waiting outside, leaning against the wall.
"I'm gonna get a little sleep, I'll be back down in 3 hours. Just sit at the desk, answer the phone when it rings, do the job, get the pay, come back and put the money in the drawer of my desk. There's also some food down there for you." Dante said and walked off to his room. Raven quietly thanked him and headed downstairs to the shop, wondering what kind of food he left for her. Probably more pizza. She descended the last step and smelt something like it was from McDonald's, that is when she realized how hungry she was. She walked towards the desk and found a bag from McDonald's.
Yes. Raven thought and dug through it, pulling out two little sandwiches wrapped in the usual paper. She sat at the desk and unwrapped one of them, it was a sausage, egg and cheese McGriddle. Raven quickly removed the egg and unzipped the mask at the mouth, taking a big bite of the sandwich. It was so good. She finished it and started unwrapping the second one but someone walked in, someone that made Raven want to throw up.

Mikhail walked up to her and said "There's this demon, a succubus, she's going around, seducing men and stealing their souls. Her name is Raven, she has long blue-black hair, dark green eyes, pale skin, and always wears dresses." Raven zipped her mask back up and said "Okay. two thousand dollars."
"What? I'm not paying that! I shouldn't have to pay you at all! If there is a demon running around killing people and stealing souls then you should just kill it! You shouldn't have to get paid for saving lives!" Mikhail shouted at her. Raven was scared but she had to act brave.
"Get out, now."
"No! You do your damn job!"
"Then pay me first."
"I will not pay you! I shouldn't have to!"
"What the hell is with all the shouting?" Dante snapped as he came down the stairs, walking over to Mikhail and glaring at him instead of Raven.

"Tell your incompetent worker to do his damn job!" Mikhail snapped,
"Then pay me like you're supposed to instead of ranting about how you shouldn't have to pay," Raven said and glared at Mikhail. Dante snarled at the Russian and said "We need to make a living so we do what we're good at. Now pay up or get the fuck out." Mikhail started swearing at the demon hunter in Russian and pulled a knife from his pocket. He tried to hide it so he could attack the cambion without him noticing but Dante grabbed his hand and said: "Get the fuck out of my shop, now." He took the knife and spun Mikhail around, grabbing him by the back of his shirt. He dragged him over to the door, opened it, and stomp kicked him in the back so he went flying and landed on the street. He closed the door and locked it, turning to face Raven.
"Don't let that bastard in here again."
"I won't, sorry," Raven said and put her head down. Dante walked over and placed the knife in front of her, saying "Here, you got a new weapon." He then headed back up the steps to the apartment.

Raven picked up the knife, it was a combat knife except it was a spiral blade, this will definitely do some damage. She put it in a deep pocket in her flannel and patted it gently, happy with the new blade. She looked at her other McGriddle and contemplated on what to do with it. She wasn't really hungry anymore. After a minute she decided to eat it, knowing she needs to put some weight on.

As soon as she finished the sandwich, she licked her finger and leaned back in the chair while thinking about how slow this business is. Just then the phone rang. A bunch of odd looking figures are lurking through the nearby woods, can't make out what they are because of a dense, opaque fog. Raven said she'd be out to investigate and hung up. She threw away her wrappers and bolted out the door, eager for the mission. She didn't know what she was up against but she didn't think it would be that hard.

Raven sighed as she stepped closer to the woods, she would have to take her mask off because she wouldn't be able to breathe with it on in the forest. She sighed and slowly took her mask off after making sure no one was around. She put the mask in her pocket and grabbed both her knives, slowly and carefully treading through the forest. She wasn't far in when someone, or something, had ran right by her. She stood perfectly still and listened, she has learned to hone her hearing abilities after watching a playthrough for The Last Of Us, that making her want to learn it more than anything. There were only two of the creatures within 5 miles of Raven. She could hear something coming towards her, it was coming from the left. She quickly turned and threw her knife, impaling something in the throat.

She ran over and grabbed her knife, looking down at the creature. It looked like a Khajiit except much uglier. As she stared down at the cat like creature, she heard something running straight towards her. She turned around and saw the other creature pounce at her. She screamed and raised her spiraled knife so when the demon came close it got stabbed through the chest, coughing up blood. Raven immediately yanked her knife free and tried to induce vomiting, she had swallowed some of the blood. She needed to get back to the shop, quickly. She ran out of the forest while putting her mask back on.

Dante sighed lightly, it has been 4 hours and Raven is still not back, she couldn't have taken a hard job, he's too smart to do that, he's a beginner. Suddenly the door opened and Raven came stumbling in, trying desperately to find her way to the stairs. The cambion looked at her in shock, wondering what the hell happened to her. She managed to find the stairs and tried her best to climb them.
"Are you okay?" Dante called after her, Raven just stilled for a second and started coughing to let the demon hunter know she is not okay, she then managed to climb the rest of the stairs. She had to crawl to her room. She got up on her bed and laid like a corpse on her bed, hoping whatever is wrong with her will go away quickly, she also hoped that Dante wouldn't come upstairs, she didn't have the energy to even close her door. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep, praying that she'll survive this.
