I awoke to an empty bed. Sighing I shrugged off last night as just a wonderful dream. It wasn't until I got in front of the bathroom mirror that I realized that last night was no dream. A high pitched squeal filled the shop. Quickly getting dressed, I dashed out of the bedroom. Jumping down nearly half of the stairs I came face to face with none other than the eldest of the family, Sparda.
"Is there something you wish to tell us?" Sparda questioned.
Looking past him, I caught eyes with Dante. He smiled at me and lightly rolled his eyes at Sparda. A small giggle slipped my lips. I looked back at my father with a charming yet cocky smile.
"I don't kiss and tell." I laughed as I pushed past him and headed towards Dante's desk.
"They slept with each other Mr. Sparda." Nero informed.
"They've been doing that for six months now." Sparda replied.
"I mean they slept with each other." Nero emphasized.
"I thought you said that you weren't going to make a move Dante."
"I did and she made the first move."
"How so?" Nero and Sparda both asked.
"When she kissed my cheek yesterday, she whispered to me that it was fine to make the first move. Therefore, she made the first move by telling me I can." Dante stated.
I laughed out, "Dante logic, it's a scary thing." This caused everyone to laugh, including Dante. "So, who's up for going out for breakfast?"
"As long as I don't have to pay then I'm in." Dante smiled as he pulled me into his lap.
Smiling, I purred, "Don't worry my dear devil hunter, it'll be on me."
"Then I'm in Baby!" Dante smiled as he planted a few kisses on my neck.
A soft moan passed my lips. Sparda's eyebrow rose as Nero just held his head in his hands. We were being all giddy over each other. Vergil and I were never like this. We were more of don't talk to me unless need be. With Dante I don't feel like I need to hold back at all; and I don't. Not even in front of family and now friends. Trish, Lady, and Cerberus all walked in to see Dante and I messing around.
"Did we come at a bad time?" Cerberus questioned.
"No but you just came to early." I stated as Dante started snickering.
"Very funny Serrina." Cerberus sighed.
"You've been hanging around Dante too much." Lady stated slightly annoyed.
"He's starting to rub off on you." Trish added.
"I told you Dante, not till tonight." I jokingly said with a playful eye roll.
"How cute. She's making sex jokes." Nero sighed as Dante continued to laugh his ass off. "Come on guys, how immature can you get?"
"I'm not a guy I'm a girl." I snapped. "How was that for immature?" I teased.
"God I hate her. I think I liked her better when she was an evil bitch." Nero said barely above a whisper.
No one else had heard him, but I had. My keen, full blooded, demonic hearing had caught it clear as day. Even over Dante laughing practically in my ear. My confusion was perfectly hidden behind a friendly smile. What did Nero mean by 'evil bitch'? I thought to myself.
"Baby? Baby?" Dante practically yelled into my ear.
"What?" I asked slightly startled.
"Where are we going for breakfast?" Dante asked with the expression that read, 'What's wrong'?
"Where ever you guys want. You three can join us if you please." I smiled.
After about half an hour, we all finally got out of Devil May Cry and headed into town. Dante kept me close to his body so that everyone in town knew that I was his. It was if someone was calling to me. Someone from extremely far away. Not physically moving my head, I used my demonic powers to reach out as far as possible in search of the strange voice. To my surprise, there was no one. No one in over a three mile radius matched the voice. Shaking it off I followed everyone into the diner.
We had finally finished breakfast after about two hours. I couldn't believe how much the bill was. Shaking my head slightly I suddenly picked up on a familiar aura. Looking around I came to find Vergil standing upon a building top just watching us. A snarl formed deep in my throat that turned into a growl. Everyone looked at me with question and then followed my gaze to a now empty roof top. When they looked back at me, I was looking forward again. Dante's expression had also darkened since he had caught the glimpse of his twin. We both knew that he had been checking up on me ever since that day six months ago. So many questions started running through my mind. Questions of hate, and of worry. Some like, "Did he see what happened last night between Dante and I?" or "How could he just leave me like he did and then keep tabs on me?" All of these questions kept racing through my mind to where my blood was practically on fire.
The white of my eyes were slowly turning blood red. Just the thought of Vergil and what he's done to me made me want to kill something. Trying to keep my anger in check we all hurried back to Devil May Cry. Once there I instantly headed to the back. Lady and the others followed me. Cerberus was already back there in only a pair of black training pants. His long black hair was down and without a shirt he showed off his muscular torso. He always knew just when I needed to let off some steam. Smiling with fangs to full length, I just threw off my black coat and charged at my friend.
Just as I was about to strike him, a bolt of white lightning struck the ground in front of me. Jumping to the side, just in time, I served a roundhouse kick to Cerberus' head. This caused him to topple over. As he was getting up, Shasta jumped down off of the top of Devil May Cry. Just as she was about to land on the ground, her fist collided with the Earth. This caused the ground to crack under my feet. As it gave way, I jumped gracefully over her head and landed behind her. Smiling an evil smile, I slammed my elbow into the back of her head. The next thing I knew kunai knives were being thrown at my head. Another smile crept across my lips as Ki-Kat landed next to Shasta. She checked on her mate and then glared at me. A demonic laugh erupted from my chest as she charged me. Shaking my head I just back handed her. This caused her to tumble across the ground to finally stop at Cerberus' feet. They knew when they were beat, and they knew when I was too far gone in my emotions.
Suddenly a gun sounded, and the bullet collided with my left shoulder. Turning around, I saw a playful smirk on Dante's lips. I knew fighting someone that I've never truly fought before would be fun. It would finally give me something to do. Smiling I pulled out my own guns and open fired upon my dear little brother. All that could be heard was our laughter and the sounds of either our guns firing or our swords colliding. After an hour of this Dante and I lay on the ground side by side. Our bodies were covered in sweat, blood, and dirt. Smiling I sat up and looked over at Dante. He looked up at me with a charming smile. Leaning down I kissed his lips tenderly. I felt his hand lightly shaking from exhaustion on my lower back. Pulling away I climbed to my feet and headed inside to take a shower and go to bed early.
After my shower I quickly got dressed in a black silk nightgown. Crawling into Dante's bed I practically fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow. Instead of awaking in Vergil's room/library, I awoke in a strange room at the base of a throne. Looking around, I couldn't find anyone. Suddenly a bright heavenly light shown down upon me from the figure on top of the throne. Shielding my eyes from the light I took a couple of steps back. The light dimmed and I was able to see once more. Clearly the figure was a demon of some kind. It had strange feathered wings, a beard, slicked back hair, and robe like pants. It wasn't until it spoke that I realized that I had known this demon.
"Daughter of Sparda." The voice sounded in a male tone. "You have been lied to and betrayed."
"Yeah and? This is shit I already know." I replied.
"The eldest son of Sparda did not betray you. It was the youngest, the other, and Sparda himself. Not only them but a female of your own blood." The voice stated calmly.
"Dante, Nero, and the old man wouldn't betray family. As for the female of my own blood, I have no clue who…"That's when it hit me. Shasta had used the same kind of white lightning that had struck me before I awoke in Devil May Cry six months ago.
"Now you see. Tell me what you know child of darkness."
"Dante, Nero, Shasta and my father all betrayed me six months ago." I replied.
"Is that all?"
"They lied to me. Dante lied to me." I stated more to myself than to the demonic figure before me.
"Yes, yes they did. The one man that you entrusted betrayed your trust by lying to you. He kept hidden what he and the others had done to you."
"What did they do to me? Does it have something to do with what Nero said about me being an 'evil bitch'?"
"Yes. They took and locked away all of the memories that made you who you truly are. They locked away all the memories that made you truly strong."
I was speechless. My own family had stolen something that I had worked so hard to regain. Not only that but they had lied to my face about everything. Dante doesn't love me; he loves the me they created. Vergil was the only one who ever loved me. How could I have ever turned my back on the one man who truly cared about me and was there for me? I knew now that he would never admit it, but he did, somewhere deep in his icy hear, loved me. Not only did he love me he truly did care about my safety even though I was the strangest out of the family.
"I can help you regain those memories if you help me with one little thing."
"Anything to return to who I truly am." I stated with anger.
"Very well." The voice stated glad that things were going according to plan. He pointed a finger at me as a whitish gold colored lightning shot not only in the middle of my forehead but also in my shoulders. The burn marks that came after were in the shape of a triangle. "Who are you?"
I stood and smiled the most wicked smile anyone had ever seen. "I'm Serrina Sparda. The only living daughter of the Dark Knight Sparda."
"And you will do as I ask?"
"Yes. As long as I can take my revenge upon the Sparda family excluding the eldest son of Sparda." I growled in my full demonic voice.
"Very well. You may leave now. I will be in touch."
"Tell me your name."
"Mundus." The voice said as I was sent into complete and utter darkness.
I was sent back to my body and awoke with Dante's arm around my waist. A deep angry growl exploded from my vocal cords. He had lied to me before he took my memories and then he played me to get what he wanted. Smiling evilly, I summoned a blue rose with a black stem. Placing it in Dante's hand I removed myself from his bed and left Devil May Cry in search of Vergil to explain and beg for forgiveness.
