Chapter Four: A monster rises

(Y/n) followed her brother out from their father's room to watch the confrontation. She smelled both her brothers' scents and a new one. The man from the alleyways. Jonathan told Dio how heartbroken he was about what happened. Dio begged to turn himself in as their little sister descended the stairs. She was just as heartbroken as Jonathan, if not more. She loved her brothers. A voice called from the darkness, telling Jonathan to not listen to the words of such a snake as Dio. The blond man from the alley made his appearance and lit a match to illuminate himself. "Who am I, you ask? Allow me to introduce myself properly.," the blond man said and placed his fist over his chest, "My name is Robert E. O. Speedwagon, the meddler. I was worried about little (y/n) and Jonathan, so I followed them back."
The plum haired girl silently walked to where her brothers were, but hid in the shadows, out of sight. She continued to listen, trying to understand what was happening and why Dio would do something such as this. "Since I like you, Jonathan, let me tel you something.," Speedwagon spoke, "I was raised in squalor, and have seen a lot of lowlifes. My nose can tell the good from the bad. And this guy stinks of vileness, I have never come before a man as wicked as he!"

The plum haired girl gasped, how could her brother be as evil as this man claimed him to be. Jonathan and Dio heard her. "(Y/n), get out of here. I told you to go to your room.," Jonathan said. The little girl shook her head, "I can't keep staying in the background. I want to help." "(Y/n), please, believe me.," Dio pleaded with her. Speedwagon stepped forward, "Don't." "I want to Dio. I really do, because I love you. But evidence is telling me otherwise.," the girl said looked down, "I'm sorry."
Speedwagon went to the curtains and pulled an elderly human man from there, "Does this man look familiar to you? He sold you the poison." "There is no point denying, Dio. He already testified.," Jonathan said. (Y/n) was saddened to heard all of this about her brother. "I've heard enough.," the sound of their father came. The little girl looked and saw him standing there with policemen and a doctor. "I put the same amount of love and hope into you as I did my own son.," the man said to his adopted son. The little plum haired girl saw he looked better but he was still weak, "Father. You should be resting." Jonathan went to help his father back to his room as the little girl stood close to Speedwagon. Jonathan walked back to his brother once his father was going back to his room. Dio held his hands out to his brother, "Jojo. I want you to be the one to cuff me."

"They won't catch him.," the asian man who sold Dio the poison spoke, "The three moles on his ear and that face. He was born with the devil's luck." (Y/n) held the hand of Speedwagon as the man told Jonathan to be careful. Even though she has only met him a little while ago, she felt that this Speedwagon was a trustworthy and safe person to be around. Jonathan walked closer and prepared to put the cuffs on Dio. Dio spoke, "Jojo, being human means having limits. But I've learned something. The more carefully you scheme, the more unexpected events come along. As long as you are human..." "what? What do you mean?!," Jonathan asked as (y/n) saw a glint in Dio's sleeve. The girl let go of Speedwagon's hand as Dio pulled a knife and her mask, "I'm throwing away my humanity, Jojo! I'm moving beyond humanity, to be like (y/n)!" Jonathan was shocked when he saw the mask, "Where did you get that?!" Dio lunged to stab Jonathan and use his blood to activate the mask, only he did not stab Jonathan. He stabbed George.
"Father!," Jonathan yelled as his father lay dying in his arms.

(Y/n)'s eyes were on her blond brother, Dio put the mask on and smeared the blood on it. Spines erupted from the sides of the mask and pierced his head, an unearthly red glow emanated from the mask. This triggered another memory for the girl. In her mind she saw a vision of a human being forced to wear a mask, surrounded by three large figures. She was brought back to the present by the sounds of gunshots and her brother, Dio, flying out the window from the impact of the bullets. Her red eyes widened as she realized what had happened in that split second. Dio was a monster now physically as he was mentally. Something else made her blood heat up. Like an old instinct had bubbled to the surface. She felt her lips turn up and reveal the sharp fangs she had hidden for years. The smell of blood made her look to the man who had adopted her. He was bleeding out in Jonathan's arms. Tears welled up in the little girl's eyes. Something inside her told her that it was her fault, that she was not meant to be around humans. Speedwagon and some others looked out of the window to the body of Dio.
The police comissioner explained what had happened a long time ago. The events that led up to Dio's adoption into the Joestar family. (Y/n) did not want to hear it, but forced herself to listen. This only cemented the fact that her adopted father was a good man. Her heart clenched in her chest as tears fell from her eyes. George passed his noble spirit onto his son, Jonathan.
