Hey everybody! I hope you all had an amazing New Year! Let 2013 be a good one!
"Ugh. Where am I?" I asked waking up. My head hurt so badly. I had a bandage around it and I don't remember what happened.
"Hey look she's up." I heard a woman say. She had blonde hair and wore black jeans and a low cut shirt.
"Who are you!?" I yelled and jumped from the couch that I was laying on but regretted it as a sharp pain went through my leg! "Ow! Damn!" I cursed and sat back down and glared at the woman.
"Whoa kid, slow down we are not going to hurt you." A man with white hair said sitting at a deck with his legs propped up.
"Then who are you and what happen to my leg and head!" I yelled at the two strangers.
"You where attacked by a demon and it cut your leg up. It threw you into a wall. You don't remember?" The man asked while he got up from his chair and walked towards me.
"No, I don't remember anything." I said looking down at the floor.
The man and woman looked at each other. "You got a really nasty bump on the back of your head. You probably lost some of your memory." The woman said.
"Well that's just great!" I said holding my head.
"Do you remember anything at all, like your name and where you're from?" The man asked.
I sat there thinking. "My name is Melissa and I have no clue where I'm from." I told them honesty.
"Great, I save the kid and now I'm stuck with her!" The man said and walked back to his deck and propped his feet up again.
The woman glared at him. "Don't listen to him, we will help you out." She said to me and smiled.
"Thanks. Who are you guys anyway?" I asked glancing at both of them.
"Names Dante, the girl over there is Trish." Dante said looking through a magazine.
Trish held her hand out to me and I shook it. "Pleasure to meet you Melissa." She said smiling.
"So…." I said looking around the place and tried to get up. My leg is hurting very bad and I flinch in pain but walk around anyway. I limp my way to a wall that had weapons and skulls. "I like your decorating style." I said to Dante.
He gave me a smirk, "Thanks kid." Trish sat on Dante's deck next to his feet.
"Are you hungry Melissa?" Trish asked.
"Yeah, starving." I said walking towards her.
"Good we will order pizza then." Dante said kicking his foot down on the deck causing his phone to fly up in the air and he caught it. He called the pizza place and waited. "Yeah hey can I get a large pie with pepperoni. Thanks." He threw the phone up and it landed in its place.
About ten minutes later the pizza guy came and Trish paid. I took a piece of pizza and started to eat. I looked at Dante and Trish. "So are you two together?" I asked.
Both of them looked at each other and laughed. "No, we are partners in my business." Dante said.
"Business? What do you two do?" I asked.
"We are demon hunters." Dante said.
I looked at him. "You mean you hunt demons, like the thing you said that attacked me?"
"Yeah." He said.
"Wow they must be very dangerous if they can injury me like this." I said looking down at my leg.
"Yeah they can be dangerous but you just need to know what you are doing." Trish said.
"I see…" I said and looked at the wall that has the weapons. "So I suppose you use these swords and guns to take these demons out? Tough job." I said looking at each weapon.
"Some jobs can be tough. They can hide from you and give you a hard time." Dante said. "But they're no match for me." Dante said with smirk.
There was this one sword that stood out the most. It was very big and sharp it was in a very weird shape as well. There was a strange energy coming from the sword and it felt very powerful. "What is this sword? It looks different from the others." I asked Dante never taking my eyes off the sword.
Dante looked to see what I was looking at. "That sword is called Sparta, very useful but I don't use that much."
"Why not?"
"I usually get easy jobs, if I get a rather hard job I take Sparta." Dante said looking back at his magazine.
The phone rang and Dante kicked his desk and caught the phone. "Devil May Cry." He said. He waited until the person on the other end answers. He smirked. "It's a guy with a password." He told Trish and she smiled. "Alright how much are we talking here?" Dante asked. He listened to the man on the phone. "You got it!" Dante said and hung up the phone.
"Well?" Trish asked.
"The guy wants me to take out a demon who he thinks is haunting his daughter. He is paying me $1,000 to take it out."
"Damn that is a lot must be a big deal then." Trish said.
"Yeah and he is a rich guy so lucky me." Dante said with sarcasm.
He went to the wall and got two guns that have the names Ebony and Ivory on them and a big sword that has a skull on it and put it on his back. "I'll be back a little late because it's down town. Trish you stay here and watch the kid. I don't want another demon coming by and killing her." Dante said.
I froze at the thought of being killed but Dante spoke up, "You'll be alright kid, Trish is a great demon hunter."
Dante walked out the door and turned on his motorcycle and left. My leg was hurting so bad I had to sit back down. I limped all the way to the couch and sat down clutching my leg.
"It hurts that bad huh?" Trish asked.
"Yeah and it burns."
"I think we need to change your bandages." She said and walked over to me. She took off the bandage on my leg and I was staring at the cut. It was very deep and it was three stretch marks.
"That demon left you a Mock of Trinity." Trish said looking at the cut.
"What's that?" I asked concerned?
"Demons use the three stretch marks to tell the other demons they found there victim. The demons will keep following you until that thing heals." Trish said pointing to my leg.
"That's great! So more are going to come and try to kill me?" I yelled to Trish.
"Not when me and Dante are around." Trish said looking at me in the eyes. She took off the bandage on my head and I put my hand to it, like Trish said there was a huge bump on it. She got up and went to the back of the shop and went through the bathroom door. When she came back she had two new bandages. She put a new bandage on my head and then another one on my leg.
"Thanks Trish." I said and smiled.
"No problem kiddo!"
There was a knock on the door and then it opened. "Hey anybody here," I heard a women yell.
"What do you want Lady?" Trish asked the girl with a smirk.
"Dante owes me money." She said and looked at me. "Who's this?"
"My name is Melissa." I said to her.
"Hello Melissa I'm Lady nice to met you." She held out her hand and I shook it.
"Yeah you too." I said with a smile.
Trish looked at Lady. "Melissa was attacked by a demon last night and lost her memory."
Lady looked at me. "Well that's unfortunate I hope you get your memories back." I just smiled back at her.
"Anyway because Dante isn't here I'm going to be bored not harassing him about my money, do you two want to go shopping? It looks like Melissa needs some new clothes."
I looked down at my clothes and she was right. My clothes where all ripped up from the demon that attacked me.
"Alright." Trish said.
"Wait Trish, won't the demons come after me?" I asked her.
"They don't come out around a lot of people. They mostly will go after you if you're alone." Trish said looking at me.
We walked out of the shop and Lady got on her motorcycle and so did Trish. I got on Trish's motorcycle and held on to her waist. We drove to a clothing store and we parked. We walked into the store and there where so many clothes. I walked to the girl section. Trish and Lady help me pick out clothes that looked like it would fit me.
"Hey this looks nice it would look good on you Melissa!" Lady said as she held up a shirt that was black and had white patterns on it.
"Go try it on!" Trish said.
"Um okay?" I said and walked into the dressing room. I changed and walked back out so Trish can see. "How do I look?" I asked.
"It looks good Melissa. Here try these pants on, you need new pants." Trish said and gave me the pants.
Through a lot of pain, I got the pants on and showed Trish. "That looks good, here try putting on this shirt with the pants you have on now." She demanded.
I took the shirt and glared at her. I went back into the dressing room and put the shirt on. I walked back out and Trish and Lady where standing out there picking there own clothes.
"Wow that looks good! Try this outfit on." Lady gave me a red shirt with black shorts.
I tried them on and went back out to show Trish and Lady.
"That looks so cute on you!" Lady said.
"Now try these on." Trish said and handed me three more pairs of shirts and pants.
I tried all the clothes on and the girls told me that it look good.
We put all of our clothes into the cart and walked to the check out. The casher scanned all of our items. "That would be $200." The casher said.
My mouth dropped. "Lady how are you going to pay for this!" I asked.
She smirked. "I don't worry I got it covered." She told me.
"Send the bill to a man named Dante, he works at the Devil May Cry." Lady said and I looked at her.
"Alright ma'am, thank you for shopping with us!" The casher said smiling.
As we walked out of the store Trish started to laugh. "Dante will be so mad Lady! I can't wait to see the look on his face!" Trish said.
"Well, he will be able to pay if he is paid today." I said.
Lady smiled. "Dante owes me so this is one way he can."
We drove back to the Devil May Cry and we walked in. Trish and Lady went into Dante's fridge and got beer. I went over to the couch and lay down I was so tired after shopping today. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
…
"What the hell Lady!" I heard Dante scream and woke up.
"You owe me Dante so pay the girl!" Lady screamed.
Dante groaned and took out money from his pocket and gave it to the lady outside. Trish was laughing and Lady was standing in victory.
"Damn you Lady." Dante said and walked over to his desk. "What the hell did you by anyway?"
"I bought some clothes and Melissa needed some because her old clothes where ripped!" Lady told Dante.
"Whatever. I'm going to get ice cream from Fredi's but I'm treating you." Dante glared at Lady.
Lady laughed, "I don't want any ice cream anyway I got stuff to do so I'll be seeing you Dante." Lady said and pats him on the shoulder.
"Hey Melissa you want ice cream?" Dante asked.
"Yeah!" I shouted like a little kid.
"You and your ice cream Dante." Trish said shaking her head.
Dante went over and got his gaiter case. He put his sword in it and put it over his back.
"What's that for Dante?" I asked.
"It's for the demons who try to attack you." He said.
"Oh, right."
Dante, Trish and I walked to Fredi's and sat down inside waiting for our waiter.
"Hi Dante!" A girl with red hair came by. "Oh it's you from yesterday." The girl looked at me and smiled. I smiled back and looked at Dante confused. "Did those mean guys jump you?! Your head and leg are bandaged up!" She looks at me worried.
"She was getting beaten and Dante helped her." Trish said.
"Oh you poor thing, Dante you are such a sweat heart!" The girl said and Dante just rolled his eyes.
"Anyway do you want ice cream again?" She asked me and I shook my head yes.
"How about you miss?" The girl asked looking at Trish.
"Nah, I'm good." Trish said.
"Okay two strawberry sundaes it is then!" She smiled and rolled her way into the kitchen.
I looked at Dante, "So how did the job go?"
Dante looked at me, "Good but I got some bad new for you Melissa."
Trish looked at Dante and I stared at him.
"What is it?" I asked felling a little scared.
Dante looked serious. "The demon I hunted said he was looking for you and he needed to obey his master's orders."
Trish stared at Dante with wide eyes. "You mean?"
Dante looked at her, "Yes Trish, some how Mundus is back and he is tracking Melissa down."
