Chapter 4 Memory
Hunter was asleep or rather knocked out by jumping out of his apartment and blowing it up, after he passed out in the alleyway a dormant part of his mind and reawakened inside him.
(Start of Memory)
Dante (Hunter) was at his family's firing range practising with his Steyr ACR, he was accurate when Vance, Jensen (tank), Zack (boomer) and Luke (charger) came to the range. Vance snuck up behind dante and went into his gay feminine mode.
"Hey baby"
"Vance i'm holding a gun don't try it"
"Damn you touchy today did somebody not get any last night"
"That's it"
Dante turned round and aimed the gun at Vance making sure the safety was off.
"Say that again i dare ya i double dare ya"
"Okay okay i get it," Vance said holding his hands up
"You're a douche Vance," Jensen said picking up a MP5
After the practise, the group went into the armoury and placed the guns back.
"Have you guys heard of the virus that's going around?" luke said
"yeah apparently it's quite bad in the east," Jensen said
"well so long as it doesn't interfere with business," dante said crossing his arms
"what business this is a privately owned range, you own a god damn beach house" zack said biting his hotdog
"yeah being the owner of a gun business is good" dante said with a smile
"Technically you don't owe them until your twenty and your seventeen now," vance said lighting up a cigarette
"you always have to spoil things don't you vance" dante said losing his smile
"pretty much"
"so when are your folks getting back dante?" Jensen asked
"Urm... i'm not too sure actually but i think two weeks from now" dante said locking the armoury
"Hey dante where's your sister?" zack said
"In bed" dante said placing the keys in his pocket
"Ahh so the hunter finally got his prey" Vance said
Dante didnt move and he didnt say a word he would never think of her in that way, she is his step-sister so sure they were not blood related but it is still a taboo. Sure him and scarlet were close but they weren't that close but to everyone else they were, the reason dante got the nickname hunter was because he told them that what scarlet decided to call them after mother and father told her about paedophiles. Dante had no idea how scarlet learned about those sick bastards but she did and when he told the guys well... that's how rumours and the nickname started, everything he was called hunter he would run his and scarlet's relationship through his head and he believed that they were like any other brother and sister maybe a little closer.
There was that time when she was six and he was eleven that she has a bad dream and slept with him that night, because she didnt want to sleep with mother and father because she felt safer with dante but in his defence he was a kid as well but he isn't anymore and she still sleeps with him when she has bad dreams. Of course he's never told the guys this for fear of what they would do but he knew they wouldn't do anything they'd just tease him about it... relentlessly.
"Hello earth to dante" Jensen said snapping his fingers
"Huh?" dante said snapping out of his trance
"You okay man you blanked on us" zack said with a concerned voice
"Yeah i'm fine nothing to worry about" dante said with a fake smile
Dante and the others walked into the house and sat down on the sofa turning on the TV to watch ghost rider spirit of vengeance.
"You what i don't get, if the rider was an angel and then he became a bounty hunter wouldn't that make him the grim reaper?" Vance said
"Nah the grim reaper was the taker of corrupted souls," Jensen said
"Yeah that's what the rider does" Vance replied
"He has a point there" zack said
"True but the grim reaper wasn't a biker"
"How do you know?" Vance said annoyed
"Because the grim reaper was originally the angel of death Gabriel who was the only angel to turn against god after Satan himself, the rider is the descendant of the reaper hence why they have similarities. The other person was black heart the devils son and major pain in the ass, the three together are the worst three people you could ever hope to come across" dante said pulling out a chilled bottle of water out of the fridge
"Who the hell do you know about this?" zack said
"I read... a lot, and i write stories on this shit you know this" dante said walking to the stairs
"Where you going dante?" Vance said
"Checking on scarlet" dante said
Dante headed up the stairs and walked in to his room where a twelve-year-old girl was lying down looking at him with a weak smile.
"Hey big brother" scarlet said in a weak voice
"Hey little sis" dante replied in a quiet voice
Dante walked to the double bed and sat down looking at scarlet as he moved her hair out of her face and touched his forehead against hers.
"You're burning up"
"You're not going to kiss are you?"
"Not unless you want me too"
Okay that was a little wrong but she always brings this side of him out she just seems to be different round her; she smiled at him and held his hand.
"I'll wait till i'm better for that," she said almost like she was teasing him
Dante smiled and touched the chilled water against her forehead making her sigh heavily.
"How's that feel?"
"Like a nice cool breeze"
"That's good"
"Hey dante when are mother and father getting back?"
"In two weeks sis"
"I wish it was just us" scarlet said with a disappointed look
"How come?"
"Because then we'd be able to spend every moment together" scarlet looked at dante with a sorrowful look
"Scarlet we can't have that kind of relationship," Dante said placing a hand on scarlet's shoulder
"Why not we're not blood related" scarlet said placing her hand on dante's
"Scarlet... i love you but your my baby sister, it would be wrong"
"But we spend every moment together and we even sleep together"
"Scarlet i won't lie i love it when i holding you at night but we can never be together like that" dante said placing his hand on scarlet's cheek
"I want to be more than sibling's dante i..." scarlet started to cry
Dante knew what she was on about they'd always been there for each other through thick and thin even when father tried to hurt her dante punched him so hard he knocked three teeth out, now whenever it comes to scarlet dante and father were always at each other's throats. That's why whenever she was scared or alone she would always go to dante first, he was the one to look after her when she was bullied when she was sick through everything it was him and her. Even that time when he was meant to go on holiday with the guys he stayed behind to look after scarlet to him she came first, and as he processed these memories he realised how far their relationship had gone they were far beyond normal siblings in the eyes of everyone else they were lovers.
Dante saw scarlet turn round and he placed the water on the end table, he looked at her and turned her face towards his.
"You tell anyone about this and i will kill you little sis" dante had a playful smile on his face and it was in his tone
She looked at him confused as he pressed his lips on hers, at first, she was shocked but soon she melted into the kiss she relaxed and closed her eyes as she placed her arms around dante's neck. Dante moved his tongue along hers and held her tightly, when he pulled away there was thin trail of saliva between their mouths as they both smiled at each other.
"Ahh that's so cute"
They turned round and saw the guys smiling, scarlet got so embarrassed that she threw the covers over her head and dante turned to the guys.
"Well?" dante said
The guys looked at each other and Vance took a step forward and smiled.
"Let's give them some privacy boys, don't worry dante we won't snitch your our friend and she is too. We'll wait down stairs but don't take too long Romeo"
"Thanks guys" dante said with a big smile
"Don't think you've won yet scarlet he's gonna be mine soon"
"You stay away from him he's mine" scarlet wrapped her arms around dante and gave Vance the evil eyes
The guys erupted into laughter as they closed to door and dante turned in side of scarlet's grip.
"He's so strange" scarlet said looking at the door
"Thanks scarlet" dante said
"Well it's true... now you're all mine and mine alone" scarlet said tightening her grip
Dante wrapped his arms around her waist as she pulled him on to the bed, pushing her body into his he held her tight as she closed her eyes and drifted to sleep. He smiled as he heard her soft breathing and the smile on her face warmed his heart, holding tightly he kissed her on her forehead and whispered into her ear.
"Sleep tight my scarlet"
Meanwhile
Vance was down stairs and yawned as Jensen was doing press ups, zack was cooking and Luke was flexing his one arm. See luke was born with a deformity where he has only one arm the right arm his left never developed and therefore never grew, he didnt mind in fact the guy made the most of it he trained his one arm every day. Zack was cooking his famous rice masterpiece, a combination of all the different kinds of rice mixed with herbs and spices for the perfect blend of flavour.
Jensen stopped exercising and turned to Vance who from the looks of things was making shapes in the clouds.
"Something wrong vance?"
"Just thinking that's all"
"Thinking about what?" Luke asked
"If anyone found out about dante and scarlet how would they react?"
"That is a problem," Jensen said crossing his arms
"Yeah... maybe they could run away together," Luke said
"It's an idea but if they got caught he'd be charged with kidnapping," Vance said opening a book on law
"Fuck... where the hell did you find that book?" Luke said looking at the book
"This place has a huge library right through that door," Vance pointed to the door at the end of the hallway
Luke went into the library while zack came in with the food.
"Where's Luke's and dante's?" Vance asked
"In the microwave i saw Luke head that way and i noticed how dante hasn't come down yet... maybe he fell asleep"
"Guess so"
Meanwhile
Dante was holding scarlet in his tight grip as he felt her warmth on his skin he slowly opened his eyes after being asleep for only twenty minutes he looked onto scarlet's face she was still red and was still hot, he pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead when she started to stir he pulled away and looked at her. She opened her eyes they were bright yellow and slit she started to growl and this freaked out dante.
"Scarlet?"
Scarlet pushed dante out of the bed and jumped on top of him, her grip was surprisingly powerful as she pinned him to the floor and bared her fangs. Her skin had gone somewhat grey and her hair was pure white as she brought her face closer to him.
"Scarlet?"
Scarlet showed no ability to remember who he was as she bit down on his neck spraying his blood everywhere.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
He looked at her as she brought her mouth away from the open wound as more blood poured out of him he tried to move but she was stronger than him.
Jensen broke down the door and threw scarlet on to the bed as dante got to his feet the other's arrived.
"Dante you okay WHAT THE FUCK!" Vance said
"Everyone out!" dante said gripping the wound
"What!" Jensen said clenching his fists
"She's my sister i have to deal with this" dante showed something new in his eyes
The other's left the room and closed the door as dante walked towards scarlet gripping his wound.
"Scarlet... look at me, look at me"
Using his left hand he touched the side of her face making her look at him, he had tears in his eyes whether from pain or something else.
"Please scarlet... come back to me"
The tears flowed as he pressed his forehead against hers, her growls started to dial down as she looked at him and started to cry herself.
"Dante i'm sorry i'm so sorry!" scarlet said wrapping her arms around his neck
"It's okay scarlet"
Scarlet saw the wound and started to cry more as she hugged dante begging for forgiveness.
"Hey look at me, i promised never to let anything hurt you *turns to the door* run, run as far as you can sis please"
"I can't leave you you're infected too"
"I know but i won't let them hurt you, if they try to i'll make sure they get cursed to"
"I can't ask you to do that"
"I'm not asking"
Dante pressed a kiss against her lips; pulling away, he looked her dead in the eyes.
"Run!"
Scarlet had tears in her eyes as she jumped out the window and rain into the city.
(End of memory)
"SCARLET!"
Hunter shot up from his sleep still in the alleyway as he got t0 his feet he felt a little better but he couldn't hold the pain in.
"Scarlet.. My scarlet!" hunter face palmed his right hand on his face
"Scarlet's gone"
Hunter turned round and saw no one but he did hear a strong deep feminine voice.
"What do you mean she's gone?"
"She gone hunter gone for good"
"I won't accept that! I promised that i would protect her and i would always find her... no matter what!"
"Pathetic"
"What?"
"Your feelings for her are pathetic"
"..."
"You really are a hunter"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT SCARLET WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU JUDGE ME!"
"..."
"C'MON FUCKING TELL ME HOW THE FUCK SHOULD YOU KNOW HOE I FEEL, YOU KNOW NOTHING!"
"I know plenty dante"
"How do you know my name?"
"You remember?... then i have failed"
"What the fuck are you on about?"
"I never should have saved you"
"You saved me from those survivors?"
"Forget about scarlet dante"
"I will never forget about her"
"Why? Why will you never forget about her don't you think she feels terrible after she inflected you with this curse you now bare, don't you think she wishes she was never born"
"Scarlet would never feel like that"
"Why?"
"BECAUSE I FUCKING LOVE HER THAT'S WHY!"
"If you really love her dante *sniff* then you will forget about her"
