Chapter 9: Meetings and Investigations
*Woof! Woof! Woof!*
Caleb? Wha… WHAT THE?! Lucy thought with a surprise and she sat bolt upright. "Awww! Ohhh.. Oh my head.." With her sitting up quickly… She felt a sudden heavy dizziness. Lucy gripped her head with her hand.
She suddenly felt someone licking her hand. Lucy looked down to her hand and saw Caleb looking at her and whined worriedly. Lucy smiled at the dog and rubbed its head comfortably. "I'm okay… Caleb. You're a good boy." Caleb wiggle its tail happily and seeing the dog's happy expression made Lucy smile. "Wait a sec… How the freakin' hell did I get home?" Lucy thought about what happened before she passed out.
With a blink of an eye, she remembered everything. "T-those two! T-they saved m-" Lucy suddenly stopped speaking when Caleb barked happily behind her and she heard heavy foot steps behind her.
"Lucy? Are you alright sweetie?" She glanced behind her and smiled by the sight she saw. "Mom!" Lucy stood up upright and was about to run to Cecil when she felt a sting of dizziness and loses her balance. "Lucy!" her mother called out.
In an instance, someone broke her fall.
Lucy blinked in surprise when an arm supports both her shoulders and back. "Don't overdo yourself." A familiar voice said behind her. She looks up and was surprised with the men supporting her. "Yo!" A man in front of her cheerfully greeted her. "Morning sunshine!" Adding up with a grin.
Lucy stumbles to her side and fell back to the sofa with a shocked expression. "Y-you're… H-how… Back there!" Lucy blinked several times out of shock and curiosity. Cecil went beside her and patted her shoulder to calm her down. Lucy, still looking at the men, was about to speak up when the man wearing a blue coat raised both his hands to reassure her.
Cecil spoke up at last, "Calm down sweetie… They're a friend of mine." Lucy looked to her mother then looked again to the men opposite of them. "No… I mean… Those monsters… The-They… Why are they after me? And what are those monsters?!" Lucy exclaimed. One of the two men spoke up to her… "I know it's a lot to take and you wouldn't believe us when we tell you…" Lucy raised both her eyebrows. "Well rather than not knowing anything I'd rather know everything. So spill it mister….?"
The man smiled at her. "Vergil."; "And Dante here." The other man said pointing to himself with his thumb. "So tell me everything Mister-" Lucy was stopped by Dante as held up his hand in a halt to her. "Whoa whoa… Just by names. We're good." Dante winked at the teenager. Lucy shrugged… "Okay I guess? Well.. What happened back there?" Lucy asked as she sat properly so that she could face and listen to the two better. "Those monsters are called Shape-shifters or known as the 'Children of the Moon'. And they are Demons." Vergil said as he rests his hands on his lap. "As of now… We don't know why they attacked you but… I'm sure it's pretty bad." Dante speaking up after the blue-coated man beside him and eyeing a glance at Cecil. Lucy furrowed her brows in confusion. "Children of the Moon? Demons? That's kinda like the horror movies and suspense stuff." Lucy said in wonder. "I didn't know wolf-men existed. So they like... Hunt people at night, terrify the wits out of them and eats them alive? Who's next? Frankenstein?" Cecil just blinked to her daughter and the two boys chuckled as if holding back their laughter.
"Hey what's so funny?" Lucy frowned at the two.
"Kiddo… You watch way too many horror movies." Dante managed to say while chuckling. Vergil cleared his throat and added, "No they're not like that… And we still haven't discovered Frankenstein… Yet." Vergil shrugged mockingly. Lucy raised an eyebrow and put both her hands into her waist. "Uhuh. Anyways… How did you know about these stuff? What are you… Like exterminators?" Lucy said with curiosity.
Dante and Vergil exchanged glances. "You really take everything seriously kiddo… You're not afraid? Like the last time?" Dante said half-jokingly.
Is he worried? Lucy thought as she sensed in Dante that despite his joke… She could see a glint of worry.
"I am but I would be afraid even more if I didn't find out the truth. Besides… This isn't the first time that I encountered weird things." Lucy said. Dante, Vergil and Cecil was taken aback by her words. "What do you mean sweetie? A demon attacked you before?" Cecil said with a shocked and worried look. Lucy suddenly realized what she said. Now that the words were out of her mout. She had no choice but to tell it. Lucy sighed in surrender. "Well… Not really like what happened in school. It's that… I'm having weird dreams lately. Either it's a nightmare about monsters or a mysterious woman singing a lullaby." Lucy shivered by these. "Lullaby?" Dante and Vergil said in unison. Lucy nodded and suddenly she felt another sting of headache. "I-I'm fine guys! It's just a little headache.." Lucy smiled to the people around her as they all stood up etched with worried faces. "I'll get some water for you and to our friends. Excuse me…" Cecil excused herself and went to the kitchen.
"Hey…" Lucy stared at Dante and Vergil and smiled sweetly at them. "Thank you… For saving me out there. Everything's been weird lately but oh the heck of it." Lucy giggled enthusiastically. "But yeah… Thank you." Lucy nodded in gratitude. Dante and Vergil smiled sincerely at Lucy. "We will always be with you." The boys said in unison. Dante winked at Lucy and Vergil nodded with a smile.
Lucy furrowed her brows and remembers her dream… 'We will always be with you'
As she thought of these words that she always dreamed after the lullaby. Lucy frowned even more by this thought and stared at Dante and Vergil. "What's wrong?" Vergil asked as both boys sensed her thinking about something. "I… I know this is stupid to ask but… Have we met before? Other than in the street." Lucy asked in wonder and curiosity.
Silence..
Dante and Vergil were speechless and the atmosphere became awkward until Cecil arrived and broke the silence.
"Here's your water and to you two." Cecil smiled. "Thanks." The trio said in unison. Cecil was surprised by the three and giggled. "My… You three get along now?" Lucy giggled and looked to the boys who smiled back at her. "Guess so." Lucy smiled back. I know I've met them before… But where? Lucy thought as she looked to Dante and Vergil.
In Lucy's school, people crowded and gathered around the area and a lot of police and ambulances arrived and stationed.
"What in the name of…" A police cursed as he was shocked by the damage around the school from the outside of the classroom and all around the hallways up until the gymnasium. Books, glass shards, lockers and a lot of rubbles and debris are scattered across the floor.
"Must be a terror attack." Suddenly a man patted the shocked police behind him and the police squirmed and saluted to the man present beside him. "Agent Aaron! Sir!" The police said. The agent saluted back and patted the police's shoulder. "You should be out there… Set up barricades and a perimeter around the school. The civilians are gathering more outside… Secure the area in case some or a wave of civilians try to sneak in. The media will probably arrive soon and will cause more ruckus. Spread out and keep the media and the civilians away from here." Aaron commanded to the police with a smile. "Yes sir!" The police heads out of the classroom.
The agent frowned and went inside of the classroom.
This is Lucy's classroom. The agent thought as he scanned the area. The classroom was a huge mess. The chairs batted and wrecked on each side of the classroom, the windows and lights shattered, burnt walls and marks around the classroom and a huge cracked hole on the left side of the wall. This must be where Lucy was first attacked.
"Agent?"
A female agent's voice spoke up behind him and glanced to her. Another male agent showed up… "We did what you asked of." Aaron nodded and went to both of them. "Did you cleaned up everything that could reveal demons? And did you get rid of Lucy's things and any traces she left behind?" Both the agents nodded and the female agent said with reassurance, "Rest assured my Lord. Everything's been wiped out before the humans arrived." The male agent grinning, "Not a trace." Aaron breathed a sigh of relief and patted both their shoulders.
"Is she safe?" Aaron asked the female agent and she nodded with a smile. "Yes my Lord… The Sons of Sparda and Lady Cecil took her to safety." Aaron smiled and nodded in gratitude. "Good job. Everything's progressing accordingly. Now… Let's go to the gym. The other team must be waiting." The two young agents nodded. "Yes Lord Aaron."
I added up a new male character. I decided that Aaron's a high-ranking agent and everything that involves with demons… He takes action along with his two assistants to wipe out evidences of demons before the police and forensics arrive.
