Chapter XI What are you?

Alisa....Dante is...he's a..." Austin was struggling to tell Alisa the new found information, but he had no choice.

Taking a deep breath the boy went on to explain to his redheaded friend. What he saw he found disturbing and would hope he could tell her the truth in all it's initirety.

"Alisa, Dante is a devil. I saw him eat a soul during the fight and I...I could see his aura, that man, no that monster is going to kill us all!"

Alisa was at a lose for words, Dante couldnt be a devil it wasn't possible, and he could'nt want to kill any of them. She knew he was'nt like that and could'nt believe anything he was saying.

"Alisa.." The boy whispered his concern, he obviously touched a nerve but she had to know. "Alisa I snuck in to the room that they put him in, the colonel chained him up and was throwing some kind of water at him, holy water I think cause it was burning him."

No, no no no. She didnt believe him, but the facts were there, she saw how he was on the battlefield. The girl stood to leave and walked past the boy on her way to the door.

"I need some sleep, you should get some rest." The girl said nothing else and slowley walked back to her room.

The rest of that night Alisa cried, she cried not only from the pain of the truth, but from the strange, indescribable pain she felt in her heart.

Lower Dungeon/Order HQ-3:51 AM

I shouldn't have devoured that soul, now I am stuck in some damp room, chained like some damn animal. The darkness made it too difficult to see, my body was hurting so much, damn the colonel for this, how long was she going to keep me here. Just as I slumped to the ground a door opened, the light emitting from it blinded me for a moment, when my vision returned I could see the colonel standing over me with a look of disgust plastered on her face.

"Due to the Directors kindness I am to let you out hellspawn. To think he'd let you walk out of here is beyond me, but understand if you do this again i will have youre head."

I couldn't hear the rest of her lecture, after that sentence I passed out, the pain i felt was unbearable.

I could see a brown roof over my head, and I was lying on a soft bed. Where the hell was I? I slowley crawled out of bed, I couldn't feel any pain from before, I look at myself in a full legnth mirror that was in front of me. My hair was long, reaching halfway to my back, my scar's however. My scar's were gone, the giant dark X on my chest and the scar on my eye seemed to have dissapeared! Just what the hell was going on?

I grab a black hoodie sitting on a chair oppisite of me and throw it on, walking out the room I see that I am in a large living room. Why did this place feel familar to me?  I don't remember ever coming here, I make my way to the front door and walk into the snow, a few feet in front of me i could see a short girl with light orange hair. She was facing away from me staring into the endless snowfall. I walk up to her hoping she could explain where I was.

"Excuse me, where am I? Who are you?" The girl seemed to ignore me, she didnt even move and continued to stare straight ahead.

Grabbing the kid's shoulder I swung her around to face me, I stared directly into empty eye sockets. I backed away from what I thought was some kid, It was a skeleton that still had it's hair was dressed as if ready for a day outside. The tiny skeleton began crumbling to the ground and the area changed. I saw flames raging around a ruined town. The sky was a hellish color of dark red and in front of me stood seven figure's wraped in darkness. They stood there as if they were the culprits of this destruction,  the six figure's seemed familar, as if I know them from a long time ago, and behind them stood one that towered over all of them. He was grinning evily at me, but soon I woke up.

I was in my room again, my body was stiff and cold but I forced myself out of bed. It was only a dream, thank god. But why did the palace in my dream feel so familure, why did i feel like  knew who those people were? I would have to ponder over this later since a knock at my door interupted my thoughts. Opening the door I am greeted by Master Battle, she wouldn't look at me and would concetrait on something else, did I do something to her?

"Can I come in? There's something we need to talk about."

I let her in and she sits on a chair while i sit on the couch across from her.

"What are you? Someone told me what you might be, and i need to know...are you..."

The redhead struggled to speak but I waited until she could ask her question.

"Dante, are you a devil?" The girl whispered to me, what could make her ask something like that?

"I dont know, I've been asking myself that very question for a long time now."

Her questions would have to wait as there was a loud alarm ringing through out the facility. We were being attacked again.
