Prolog
It was early, crack of dawn. Lucia was asleep in her bed till a small bang on her window awoke the red head from a great slumber. Lucia went to the window to see where the noise was. She rubbed her eyes and opened the window.
A young woman about Lucia's age grinned happily "Hey Come on! Don't You remember?" she asked. Lucia smiled " Milo? Its too early to go partying." the red head. Milo smiled and waved her hands. "not partying come on a demon is about make chaos on the village, lets beat it before it attacks" she said
Lucia quickly got dressed and grabbed her weapons. She put them on her belt. The red head jumped out the window and her and Milo raced to were the demon prepare its attack.
At The Cave
The Demon held its sword and snickered "Human flesh will be good I can't wait till I get a bite" it said hissing. "That's not going to happen!" said Milo. Her and Lucia stood outside of the cave, holding their weapons.
The demon glared " You shall die first" it said hissing. Lucia tossed knifes at it. The demon dodged and jumped behind Lucia. It wrapped it claws around her neck. " Your Demonic powers seemed tasty!" it hissed.
Lucia screamed in pain as the demon bit down on her neck draining her powers. Milo shot the demon in the head with a arrow. It was too late he completely drained the red head. He let go of her she landed softly on the ground.
" Muahaha! I shall eat your flesh now!" it said grabbing the passed out Lucia. Milo shot three arrows at the demon" LET HER GO NOW FLITH!" yelled Milo running up and kicking the demon back. The demon glared and grabbed a knife from Lucia.
Milo glared ' You might have her powers and abilities but I know her weaknesses as well!" she said loading another arrow. The demon charged and Milo shot her arrow. It hit the demon in the heart, while the demon shot the knife. The knife flew through Milo's skin and skull.
Lucia started to come around as Milo fell to the ground she glanced at Lucia. Lucia eyes widen " MILO!" she screamed. Milo gave her a smile "Lucia…run…" she said getting back up and charging at the demon. The demon made his claws grow and charged at her.
Milo glanced at Lucia "RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!" That made Lucia snap out of her shock and she cried running away from the battlefield. Milo smiled and stopped her charge the demon sinking its claws in her flesh. He ripped out her heart and feasted on it.
It vanished it when it was done. Lucia went back a few hours later seeing her dead friend. She felt sick to her stomach and fell to her knees in tears. " Milo! Milo!" she called. She cried over her dead friend's body.
Lucia picked her up, Lucia was covered in blood from crying over her. She headed back to the town and sighed her tears stained in tears. She headed to the grave yard, luckily people hadn't seen her.
Lucia grabbed a shovel and started to dig a grave under a willow tree. People started to gather, whispering to each other. Maiter quickly ran up to her daughter. "Lucia what has happened to Milo?" Lucia fell to her knees exhausted and crying. "A demon…killed her, she saved me…" that's all Lucia could say.
Maiter comforted her daughter. The town leader walked up " What Has Happened!? What Happened to My Child!?" she asked angrily. Lucia glanced up at her "You Daughter, my best friend, she…saved me from a demon that was about to attack the village." The Red head explained.
" Foolishness! If a demon was near we would of sensed it!" the leader yelled at Lucia. Lucia glanced down " Its true a demon was about to attack!" Lucia said tears falling to the ground.
" Yes a demon, its you! You killed her!" said the leader. Lucia jumped back in shock. " What!? No I'll never kill my best friend!" Lucia said. " look You knife is in her skull, also the claws that ripped her heart out! It was done by a bird, Your Demonic form!"
Lucia cried harder " I didn't do it!" she said falling to the ground crying. Maiter stepped in " My daughter wouldn't do such a thing! She protected you for years!" The leader glared at the red head. "She is a demon, you knew that she would return to her true self, she is a monster!" Lucia was shaking she cried " I'm not a monster!' she said.
"Silence! " said the leader " Take her!" she ordered. Two men looked at each other " Leader do you really think she did it ? " Asked one man. "Take her do as I say!" she yelled angrily.
The 2 men helped Lucia to her feet "Please don't fight back we don't want to hurt you." Lucia stared at the ground. Tears stained her cheeks as the men lead her down the street.
Maiter watched sorrowful, Lucia glanced back her and tried to smiled but couldn't. The men led her to the church. The leader passed Maiter " this is partly your fault as well, if you never saved her this wouldn't be happening" she said walking away.
Lucia was locked in a room, it was run down and dark. She sat in the corner of the room and wept softly. She felt exhausted, sick, and depressed. She knew that she will be guilty. She would be put to death. She wasn't scared, she was sad because they will make her mother watch.
Most likely she will be burn on a stake, it was a old way to kill demons that pretended to be humans to full fill their dark plots. "Milo…" she said softly. She heard foot steps and pretended to be asleep. "Lucia…wake up" whispered her mother. Lucia eyes snapped opened and she ran to the door. " Mother…why are you here, they will catch you and you'll be in trouble" Lucia said softly.
"I don't care about that Lucia" Maiter said unlocking the door. Then she opened it and smiled at her daughter. "come there isn't much time" said the old woman. Lucia blinked and followed Maiter out of the room. "I have prepared a boat for your escape, some of the villagers helped as well."
Lucia blinked and nodded "Mother…" she said softly crying again. "I know you don't want to leave, your innocent my dear, I want you to live , don't worry I'll be alright" she said guiding her threw the woods.
They reached the shore and Lucia hugged Maiter. "Good Bye mother" she said. "good bye my dear please live happily" the old woman said. Lucia nodded and got on the boat. She cast off and watched as her island got smaller as farther she got away.
Lucia sighed and laid back falling asleep. Maiter sighed when the boat was out of sight. The elderly woman started to wept softly walking back to her lonely home now.
Morning came. The leader was furious and grabbed the phone. She started to call ever devil hunter she knew. Soon she dialed the number to the Devil May Cry.
Dante answers "Hello? " he said sheepishly. He just woke up. He listened as the client told her request. "Yes, does this demon have a name?" there was silence, when the leader spoke Lucia's name. Dante's eyes widen. He thought for a moment. " I'll take the case" he said. He hung up the phone. He would find Lucia and find the truth.
He would chase her forever…
