Chapter 2: Trust Destroyed

(A/N: Hey guyz~! I'm here with the second chapter. Now if you had read The One of Secrets then you know at least four things about me. 1. I'm lazy 2. I'm crazy 3. I love blood and 4. I never update this fast! So here's a prize! I was actually excited about this so let's see how it turns out! On to the crap!)

Dante was sitting in the Library in the Ark and reading several novels. He put down his newly finished book and realized he had read twelve large novels. He looked at the clock with a confused expression on his face. He had started reading at 2:30 and the clock said it was now 2:31. How strange.

Dante stood up and stretched before putting all the books back. As he put the last book in its designated place, he saw the window. It was pitch black outside.

"That isn't right... The sun was high when I grabbed my first novel... Hold on a moment..." Dante said to himself before looking at the clock again "Does this mean I've been reading for twelve hours?"

Dante climbed down the ladder he was on and yawned. "I guess I'm tired." Dante chuckled quietly as he walked down the halls of the Ark towards his room.

After a few minutes of walking, Dante noticed a light was on. It was the light in the Dinning Room. This made Dante curious. 'They wouldn't have left the light on. Even if they did then the maids would have turned them off. I guess I'll turn it off.' Dante thought to himself as he walked up to the door.

"This will be perfect. We won't have to deal with those lowly humans any longer." a voice said from the other side of the door.

"What do you mean Earl-sama?" a different voice asked.

"It's quite simple Catherine." The Earl said. "Those foolish mortals shall believe their 'Innocence' will kill us. They shall attack some time today. When they do, we shall kill all of them and we will not have to be annoyed by such petty beings any longer."

Dante's eyes widened in shock as he took a step back. "T-the Earl... Wants to kill all of humanity..?" Dante whispered to himself in fear.

"Who's there!?" The Earl shouted as he threw the door open only to see a terrified Dante. "What are you doing here Dante?"

Dante didn't say a thing. He just merely fell to the floor and onto his butt. He thought the Earl was a kind man! He thought the Earl loved all creatures! Even humans! Why did he want to do this..?

"Well!? What are you doing here Dante!?" The Earl shouted.

"N-n-n-nothing! I-I was just p-passing by..!" Dante stuttered.

"Then where were you going?" Earl asked.

"M-my room..." Dante said.

"Why are you up so late?"

"I-I lost track of time while reading..!"

"Do you expect me to believe that!?"

"I-it's the truth!"

"Fine. At least tell me how much you heard." The Earl said as he started to calm down.

"N-not much..."

"What did you hear?"

"Not much... Just something about the humans and the Innocence." Dante said, acting as calm as he could.

"Good. Go to sleep Dante." Earl said as he started to walk back into the room.

"Yes, sir." Dante said as he stood up and headed to his room.

As soon as he got to his room he locked the door and sat on his bed shaking. "I have to tell everyone. But how... How do I tell them the person they trust most wants to destroy humanity."

When the sun came up and everyone was awake he went to the Dinning Room. As soon as he entered the room he saw all the Noah and the Earl staring at him.

"Good morning. How is everyone today?" Dante asked with a smile.

"Don't act like that. We trusted you Dante! How could you do this!?" Joyd shouted.

"What are you talking about?" Dante asked.

"The town! It's destroyed!" Road shouted.

"What..?" Dante asked, shocked.

"The town was completely scorched. I know only one person who could destroy a town that fast with flames. And that person is you Inferno." The Earl said. "I'm disappointed in you Dante."

"But! I didn't do anything!" Dante shouted defending himself.

"I saw you at two in the morning Dante. Tell me. Why were you awake at that time?" The Earl asked.

"I told you last night! I was reading!" Dante shouted.

"Do you expect us to believe that?" Joyd asked sadly.

"Joyd... I thought you trusted me..." Dante said before turning around and running away. Leaving the Ark all together.
