Two months later…
I sighed loudly as I entired the small kitchen at the back of Devil May Cry, Dante sat at the table eating cold pizza and drinking a beer. "How the hell can you drink this early in the morning?" I asked, not for the first time since I had started living here, Dante laughed. "'Cause I'm not normal Babe." He said around a mouth full of pizza, turning his pale gaze on me and smirking, I shook my head and sat down across from him. "So, seeing as you up before noon, I take it we have a job?" I inquired, resting my right elbow on the table and my chin in that hand. Dante grinned, "You got it babe! There's a mansion outside town, the owners wants us to investigate it." I frowned, "Sounds boring…" He smirked again, "Guy guaranteed we wouldn't be disappointed." I got up and went to gather what I would need, opting to leave my guitar behind, I holstered Heaven and Earth and stocked up on ammo and knives.

The mansion was exactly what we expected it to be, abnormally dark and a stormy weather surrounding an abandon falling apart majestic crap heap that looked like it had been there a million and one years. "Its perfect…Lets move in." I joked, receiving a short laugh from Dante as he led the way inside to a cobweb covered hall. "Oh, little pest control and it'll be perfect!" He laughed, just as five demons appeared scythes raised and ready. We both smirked now, lunging forth an attacking the creatures head on.
Once the hall was clear we agreed to spilt up and investigate different parts of the mansion, he had upstairs and I had the basement. "Remember, ya get in over your head call me!" He said bounding up the stairs and out of sight, I walked into a connecting room and found the basement stairs. I looked down the dark stair well, no light seemed to be coming up from the bottom, I looked around the room I was currently in and spotted an old oil lamp which I grabbed up and lite immediately. "Excellent…" I breathed, smirking and headed down the seemingly endless stair well, which creaked and moaned just as endlessly, to the basement.

After a while I of walking I began to wonder when I would reach the basement…when, as if on cue, my question was answered in the form of the stair suddenly crumbling from beneath my feet and sending me plummeting not the darkness below.

I groaned, lifting my aching body from the floor and rubbing my head with my left hand. Looking around I discovered that it was not as dark as I suspected it would be, along the gray stone walls were lite torches that were spaced out just enough to give the dark damp room just enough light to see by…I also realized I was not alone. On the other side of the room was a small group of…I wasn't sure if they were demon or human but they looked human enough. There were maybe ten or twenty of them, all dressed in similar dingy, once white, clothes. They were all seated on the damp floor watching me, two of them, however were standing just in front of the others about five feet from where I sat on the floor. The closest of the two was a tall man with waist length raven black hair and deep red eyes similar to my own, the other was a girl of about eleven years in age with reddish orange hair and auburn colored eyes, the little girl stood just behind the mans left leg which she was clinging to and peeking around shyly; his had rested gently atop her little head. I stood slowly, cautiously, the man offered me a warm smile. "Welcome…" He said, his voice a deep baritone that seemed to not belong to his skinny frame. "You must be the masters latest catch! Two in one day? I would like to say that a record." He joked lightly, laughing slightly without humor. "Who are you people? What master?"
"Perhaps, you stumbled here by accident then." He inquired, tilting his head slightly to the right. "May I ask you a favor then?" He asked, coming closer to stand less than two feet away, the little girl still clinging to him. "That depends…" I said slowly, he turned and motioned for me to follow. He led me down a long hall off to the left of the room, I hadn't noticed it before but I hadn't looked before either. We passed a numerous cells which contained creatures of all kinds, as well as a few corpses. I shuddered, stopping to stare at one particular cell, inside lay the body of a recently dead girl. "This way, please?" I looked up to see that the man had stopped at a cell near the end of the dark hall, I approached slowly, he pointed into the dark cell. I peered into the pitch blackness and at first seeing nothing, just as I was about to move away and question the dark haired male beside me something stirred, it looked up at me with set of all too familiar blue eyes.
