Chapter 4

Myrah trailed behind Dante as she was looking through her phone for updates about the blackout. But the last update was a few hours ago. Con Edison was trying to find the root of the problem. They advised people to stay indoors, have canned foods, extra batteries, water, and to keep generators outside. With this dangerous Cult running loose taking advantage of New York's power outage it made it very easy for them to lurk the streets and do whatever they wanted.

The two were walking through the midnight streets as Myrah trailed behind Dante reading updates on her phone.

He looked back at Myrah as he gave a light sigh. "Save your battery."

She took her eyes away from her cell and looked ahead, "I have a charging case in my bag so it's no big deal." She smiled as she locked her phone and pushed it in her pocket.

It was quiet between the two as they walked through the almost emptied streets. There were a few people outside of their apartment buildings either taking drags out of their cigarettes, or sparking conversations with their neighbors with lamps and radios close by. There were also people heading back home with whatever groceries, or items they could find or was left.

Myrah began to think about the man in front of her. She didn't know him well, but she was grateful that he saved her life. He didn't seem like a bad guy but then again, she didn't know him at all. She remembered he offered to take her home when power was restored but who knew how long that would take. In a way she wanted to get to know Dante more, even if it meant for her to take a trip with him to the hospital. She decided to break the silence between them.

"Why are we going to St Martins? Do you even think they are going to let us in?"

Dante began to scratch the back of his head. "I have a quick job to do, that's all. Plus, there's a blackout going on, I think visitors at night is the very least of their problem, don't you think?" He looked back to see what her response would be, but instead she shrugged, and kept walking.

"So….. What's your job?" She asked again as she skipped next to him to keep up with his pace.

He sighed before answering her once more. "You really don't want to know…" Dante nodded as he looked straight ahead.

"You do know telling me that really make me want to know." She looked up into his blue eyes pouting her lips.

A smirk graced his lips, nodding as he dug into the inside of his jacket pulling out his cellphone to see if there were any missed messages from Kat.

Myrah began to speak again "Well I'm currently unemployed if that makes you feel better, so whatever job it is that you do, just remember at least you have one. " She sighed.

He looked down at her but she didn't look back at him. He began to get interested wondering what she meant.

"Why aren't you working anyways?" She looked up, then away.

"It's complicated…but I decided it was best I left." He began to get more interested wondering why it was best for her to leave.

"Fair enough…. So what now? You live with your parents, Or-"

She screwed up her face like she had a bitter taste in her mouth and quickly fixed her face cutting him off. "I live alone…I don't really want to talk about that."

He knew he had hit a nerve with her and decided to drop it. It was funny who decided that they didn't want to talk anymore.

"I can see the hospital from here." Myrah pointed. "One block away."

As the two continued down the block it began to drizzle. Myrah began to zip her black motorcycle jacket and pull on her hood. Suddenly there was the sound of thunder. It was an introduction to the upcoming storm ahead. Myrah began to speed walk.

"Hurry up Dante!" She was so nervous she didn't realize she yelled at him. Myrah didn't like thunder storms. She always remembered those stupid stories her brother used to tell her when they were kids.

"Look who wants to walk up now." Dante teased. There was then a flash of lightning, and soon followed one of the loudest rolls of thunder she has heard. It almost made her heart jump in her throat. Soon after it began to pour. "Christ!" Dante grabbed Myrah's hand and they both ran into the Hospital entrance. Myrah slightly tugged her hand from his and folded her arms. She then realized what she did,

"I'm just slightly cold." She said not making it awkward between the two.

The hospital was in chaos. There were doctors and nurses running back and fourth with flashlights and lamps along with patients being treated in the hallways. The waiting room was also chaotic with people with injuries not being treated. The lights were very dim, and the staff was overworked but the security was very useless. They were nowhere to be found.

"Finally…"

A voice came from the seating area. A woman with short brown hair waved to the two as she got up.

"You must be Dante's new friend. I'm Kat."

Myrah waved smiling at the woman in front of her and introducing herself. "I'm Myrah."

Myrah thought Kat was beautiful but in a mysterious way. Dante and Kat had that this mysterious air about them that Myrah couldn't put her finger on. Kat had short brown hair, and a pair of crystal eyes. Kat looked like a naturally shy person because she would look down and intertwine her fingers.

"Is that henna?" Myrah asked.

"Something like that." Kat smiled, "May I get a moment with Dante?"

Myrah looked at Dante before she pushed both hands in her jacket pockets and smiled. "Sure."

She went into the waiting area, took a seat and leaned back in the chair. She looked around once more before she put in her ear buds and began to zone out the noise as she waited for Dante.

The panic was getting worse in the hospital due to the fact they were working with their backup power and there were hundreds of patients that needed to be cared for. If the power completely shut down many people would die.

"So when is this shit gonna go down?" He asked as they both began to walk back out the building.

"Any second now…"

Suddenly a man passed Dante and Kat and entered the hospital. Dante sensed bad vibes off him. He had white hair and dark skin. He wore all black and had many silver rings on both hands. Dante nodded at Kat as she began to disappear. He reentered the building and saw the man looking around, and then nodding at a man who was sitting next to Myrah. He was bald with a huge scar across his face. The man got up and pulled out a serrated knife from his pocket and hiding it within his coat sleeve.

"Shit." He cursed under his breath as he made his way to Myrah.

Myrah didn't know what was going on around her due to the fact she was listening to music. The two men made their way down the hall when a male nurse noticed the two heading towards a restricted area. Dante changed course and began to follow the two men when suddenly a blonde male quickly made his way in front of the two sinister men.

"You don't have authorization to be back here-"

Before the nurse could finish his sentence a blade was jammed in his throat and was soon after followed by a loud scream from a female bystander. A female nurse called security and ran leaving the scene. The two men looked back at Dante who quickly removed his jacket throwing it on the ground, and his guns ebony and ivory appeared in both hands. Both men then had the realization of who they were up against. The son of Sparda.

Myrah opened her eyes to see chaos. Confused she turned down the music when suddenly a man pushed Myrah out of her chair, running out the building. She didn't know what was going on except that people were running and screaming. She readjusted her frames when she saw Dante's coat on the floor and ran to pick it up; when suddenly another man grabbed her by the arm.

"You gotta get out of here sweet heart." He was old but he still had strength.

"What's going on?!" Then she saw a man on the floor with the handle of a knife sticking out of his throat and a puddle of blood. "What the fuck?!" Then there was the sound of gunshots.

"Jesus Christ let's go!" She grabbed Dante's coat and ran outside with the man.

The duo left a trail of dead body's. Who ever got in their way or just happened to be in their path was killed instantly. Dante couldn't let another death happen. The two men eyes began to glow a fiery red as they both came charging at him. "Bring it on bitch!" He summoned rebellion and continued to battle the deadly duo.

"Where the fuck is Dante? Maybe he's still inside."

She panicked as she looked at the hospital ahead in the heavy rain while more people exited the hospital. She was so worried that she forgot about the thunder. She was then snapped out of her confusion when a body went flying out of the buildings window.

She gasped. "Maybe he got fucking hurt inside. It wouldn't be right it I left him in there after he saved my life."

She began to walk back towards the hospital when she heard a man yell.

"Your crazy! You see the type of shit that's going on in there?" Yelled the old man.

She stopped in her tracks looking back to see the old man once more begging her to not go.

"I'll be fine just get to safety!" She ran and entered the building once more.

It was now empty on the first floor, with only the dead nurse on the floor, and a security guard hanging by his feet from the ceiling with both arms cut off. She was disgusted yet feared for her life. Why was she going back for a stranger she barely knew? Oh that's right, because he saved her life.

"Dante!" She yelled his name but no response.

Suddenly the power in the building gave out.

"This was a bad fucking idea." She cried as her nerves were getting to her. She turned on her phones flashlight and headed down the hallway when she felt two pairs of hands grip her shoulders. She began to scream as she lost grip on her phone and Dante's jacket.

"It's me!" He spun her around to face him. "It's me."

She couldn't see him that well in the dark room but she knew it was him. Her facial expression went from relieved to pissed off as she began hitting his chest, and ending the assault with a shove.

"What the hell?! What the hell were you doing inside?!" Then she noticed blood all over his hands, and on his shirt. "Are you hurt!"

She was now worried again. He looked at his hands, then smirked. "It's not mine." Myrah raised an eyebrow, then adjusted the frames on her face.

"Dante what the fuck is going on, and I don't want some bullshit answer!" She began to pick up his coat and her cell from off the ground.

"I'm a hunter." He said in a serious tone as he took his jacket from her.

"I'm a demon hunter."

That's all he said before turning around and heading toward the exit. Myrah just stood there in the dark with eyes wide open.

"Are you just going to stand there in the dark? Let's get out of here."

I hope that chapter didn't suck. I've been really busy.
