Vergil pushed a gin and tonic into the back of his throat letting the drink do its rounds. The burn made him sure of that. He slammed the drink down on the table with the rest of his empty glasses and sighed happily.

"Man these things are strong," He said with an even happier smile. "What a day! First she breaks up with me, then my workplace goes bankrupt, and now my house is being foreclosed? How cliché! What could possibly go wrong next? More like what could possibly go right?"

He laughed to himself letting his head lean on the back of his chair.

"Oh Vergil, I know a few things."

Vergil yelped at the voice that he just heard.

"W-What?!"

He looked ahead to him to see a woman sitting down in the chair across from his.

"W-Who are you," He said with a pale look on his face.

"Isn't it obvious, young one?"

Vergil didn't have the first clue who this woman was.

"Oh don't tell me you don't remember the biggest love of your life! Of all the things you've done this is the worst," She exclaimed as she pouted, puffing out her cheeks, lips and folding her arms angrily.

He looked up and down at what he could see of her.

"Pale skin, freckled face, long, black hair, and those eyes…who could this be," He thought to himself.

The mysterious woman saw the puzzled look on his face and sighed.

"Hmmm…maybe this will help~" The woman said seductively.

She forwarded her body toward Vergil's face and pushed her lips onto his, elongating her fangs in his mouth. His eyes went agape as he felt her fangs on his lips. He finally realized who she was; his "Mother".

"What was she doing here," Vergil screamed in his head.

He pulled back grabbing the table firmly.

"What the hell are you doing here Selina," He said to her annoyed at the stunt she just pulled.

A few people looked into their direction. He didn't want attract any attention so he sat back down, trying to calm himself.

"Is that any way to talk to your "Mother", who, by the way, you haven't seen in 8 years," She teased giggling to herself as well.

"Hmph, did you think I was busy? You haven't spoken to me since the banishment all those years ago. What brings you here now after all this time?"

Vergil needed answers and he needed them now.

"Oh…no reason. I just wanted you to do me a favor…and wake up," She whispered as soft as she could.

"Wake up? What do you-"

Suddenly all went black as his vision stirred putting him on the verge of passing out. Selena's voice was the last thing he heard.

"We'll meet again soon…don't you worry about that."

Vergil eyes awoke to his apartment ceiling and moved to his wall ahead as he sat up, cold sweats pouring down on his body. He breathed in and out hard trying to regain what little breath he had. When he felt like he had enough breath he said to himself:

"W-What a dream…"

He lied back onto his mattress and sighed still trying to regain his breath once more. The thought of Selina kept popping into his head. He hadn't dreamt about her since the banishment. Was this a sign of something coming, or just another dream?

"More like a nightmare…" He told himself as his arms crossed under him, his hands holding his head.

"Only thing is...now I can't sleep! Stupid Selene!"

He lifted up once more and completely went out of bed moving from his bedroom to his living room. Vergil stopped in front of his massive bookcase filled with works from Poe to Ellen Hopkins. He scratched his head thinking of what to read that would put him to sleep. Finally, he made his choice but unfortunately was too high for his reach. Vergil stepped back and concentrated as hard as he could. His feet moved off of the ground and made his way to his selection "Les Miserable". He grabbed the book tight and proceeded to let himself descend softly, placing both feet onto the ground.

"What page shall I get to tonight," He asked himself as he walked back to his room.

His body landed onto the bed and lied down for the final time tonight. As he flipped through the pages, Selina's figure was the only thing on his mind. He sighed but, unlike his dream, in a depressed tone.

"Guess this is just gonna be one of them nights."
