Chapter 2: The Girl In The Alley

Dante and Jessica walked out of the bar satisfied after they had a very yummy strawberry sundae.

"See, i told you strawberry sundaes are great" Jessica had to admit it was a very delicious sundae, the way the ice-cream melted in her mouth was the most indulging thing she had every tasted.

"I guess you're right, but i said we were going to get a proper meal, like steak and potatoes or something" Jessica made herself feel hungry just by talking about it.

"Hey you could have had steak and potatoes but you didn't so don't blame me" Jessica rolled her eyes and decided to give up. Fighting with Dante was useless and she would just exhaust herself.

"By the way, you know my name but i don't know yours"

"Why should i tell you?" Jessica was shocked at the attitude of this guy, especially after she had just brought him a strawberry sundae.

"Because it's nice to know the name of the person you just bought a sundae for"

"Don't worry sweetie, one day i will tell you but i don't feel like it today" Jessica started to get really irritated at Dante. She was about to blow her top when all of a sudden Dante just ignored her and walked away.

"HEY! you can't do that, come back here I wasn't finished talking to you" Dante just put his hand up and waved to Jessica. This gesture really got on Jessica nerves, everyone that walked past her could have mistaken her for the devil himself. Jessica got sick of him and just went the other way.

While Jessica was walking she heard the cries of a young girl down an alley. Being unable to just walk past and let a poor innocent girl cry Jessica walked down the alley to comfort her. But there was a really creepy aura about this alley, like there was something in the shadows watching her every move. This sent cold shivers down her spine making her feel really uncomfortable.

"Are you ok little girl?" Jessica said as she placed her soft and gentle hand on the little girls back trying to make her feel happier.

"I want my mummy!" The little girl said letting all the tears run down her shirt like she had just gone for a swim. Jessica wiped the tears from the little girls face and pulled back her long brown hair from her face so she could see this little girls adorable brown eyes.

"Don't worry i will help you find her, until then is there anything i can do to help" Jessica's sooth and warming voice would lift everyone's spirits in a 10km radius maybe even further. The little girl lifted her head up and smiled at Jessica.

"Yes, I want Your Soul!" The little girl stood up and then her body began to melt away like it was just a suit and a huge black snake like with red eyes looked down at Jessica. Jessica was speechless, what was this thing and why did it want her soul. Jessica jumped up and tried to run from the alley but was stopped when the snake grabbed Jessica with its tail and wrapped it's tail around her throat while pinning her to the wall.

Jessica struggled to breath, she could feel its tail getting tighter and as it licked her with its long sticky tongue she tried to scream but was unable to produce any sound at all. Jessica tried to loosen the tail with her hands but was unsuccessful, this snake was just to big for her to compete with. It drew out its long white, shiny fangs and was preparing to strike. Jessica closed her eyes, ready for the blow she heard it hiss before it struck.

Jessica opened her eyes, she heard it struck but why was she still alive. She then looked in front of her to see a man with white hair in front of her with a huge sword stopping the blow of the fangs.

"What are you doing here" Her voice sounded shocked but thankful at the same time.

"Saving the damsel in distress, what does it look like I'm doing" Dante then let go of his sword with his left hand (Still holding on with his right) and pulled out ebony and shot the snake right in the mouth. It jumped back screaming and hissing at Dante and let go of Jessica to try and grab Dante with his tail. But Dante was to fast, It got angry and slammed its tail to the ground before deciding to attack Jessica again. Before it hit her with its tail Dante appear before him.

"No no no (moving finger backward and forward) this simply won't do"

"And why do you say that" The snake said aggravated by Dante's words.

"Because it's not right to go after the damsel after i have already saved her" Dante said with a smirk on his face. The snake was about to attack Dante before he finally realized who he was.

"NO... not you... not the son of Sparda!"

"Glad to know you know who i am, now back to business i can either kill you, or you can get your scaly ass and slither it back to where every that scaly ass of yours came from"

"I shall not be spoken to by someone like you, even if you are the son of Sparda" The snake launched itself at Dante. Dante laughed and shot it straight in the head with one bullet from ebony. Blood went everywhere before it vanished into nothing.

"What a let down, i was hoping for a better fight" Dante looked at Jessica holding his hand out.

"Need a hand" Jessica laughed softly and grabbed Dante's big strong hands and he helped her up. Jessica was amazed by his strength, it turned her on a little. Dante put his sword and ebony away, everything that he had done was scary but made her feel some what desire for him even though they had just met.

"So what was that thing anyway?"

"That my friend was a demon"

"Demon.. what like something from a story book or film"

"Well i guess so, but these are real and not fiction anyway I'll be off now see ya later" Dante winked at Jessica before making his great departure. After he left Jessica felt so lonely and afraid that another demon might come again, this may sound strange but Jessica felt safe around him. She ran out of the alley and down the street towards Dante's shop, though she was not sure how to ask him she wanted to stay with him for as long as possible.

When she got to his shop she opened the door to find nobody in the shop. Jessica was confused she could have sworn she saw Dante walk into the shop. Jessica was about to leave the shop when she heard the sound of glass breaking on the second floor. She walked up the stairs to see what caused the loud sound. When she got to the bathroom door she could see what looked like blood coming out from under the door. Shocked she threw open the door to find Dante lying on the floor with a pigeon on his head (Note: he has jeans on). Jessica couldn't help but laugh because this was such an unusual site.

Dante shook his head to get the pigeon off his head, it pecked him then flew out the window. Jessica helped by picking up the broken glass that the bird caused Dante to run into and cut himself. After she picked up all the glass she put her hand out to ask if Dante needed help. Dante nodded at used Jessica's hand to hoist himself up. Jessica froze, the sight of his perfectly toned abs set her off in a frenzy. His muscles were so toned she was amazed she never noticed sooner, all though he did usually wear a long red coat.

Dante waved his hand in Jessica's face trying to snap her out of her trance like state.

"Hello... Jessica are you there"

"Huh, yer I'm here"

"Can you please stop staring at me, god like you've never seen a man shirtless before"

"Shut up, and yes i have actually I've seen quite a few"

"Whatevs, anyway can i go have a shower like i was going to"

"Not until i ask you two things"

(sigh) "Fine if you insist"

"one What is your name and two Can i stay here another night"

"Fine, if you that badly want my name god do you have a crush on me or something" Jessica blushed, this man could see right through her it was embarrassing.

"First of all no i don't have a crush on you, second because it is nice to know peoples names"

"My name is Dante, and if you want to stay another night i guess so I'll show you a room to stay in when I"m finished i the shower now go" Jessica left the bathroom, her heart racing after seeing Dante in such a gorgeous state. Jessica walked down the stairs to wait for Dante, as she reached the top of the stairs she sensed something. She looked around to see what it was but she saw nothing, she knew something was there but she was unable to see it and that scared her. Just as she put her left foot at the edge of the stairs she felt something grab her foot and she tripped down the stairs blood flowing from her head.

Well that concludes another chapter, it took forever to write sorry about that too much stuff going on. I will try and post the next one within the next week or two.
