Warning: Vulgar language and Gore
Disclaimer: I don't own anyone but myself, Tori, and the plot.
Tori's POV
Instead of killing Lilith, we decided to give her back to Mundus alive. Vergil drove with Kat and I in the front while Dante and Roni guarded Lilith. No one said a word on the way to our destination. The tension between Lilith and us practically filled the car up.
We could hear Lilith frantic breaths from the backseat.
'Don't worry it will be all over soon.' Roni says to Lilith.
'You'll be back fucking Mundus in no time.' I say.
'My goodness, Victoria. I have never heard such vulgar language from that mouth of yours.' Vergil says.
'I don't like her, she tried to kill us.' I reply.
'But I don't think she needs to die. She may carry Mundus's seed but that baby is innocent.' Kat says.
'Innocent my ass. Have you seen the that baby?' Dante replies.
'Dante, you're not helping.'Roni says.
'I'm being serious, Roni. You saw that ugly ass thing.'
Lilith glares at Dante and everyone remained quiet for the rest of the trip. Soon we arrived at the switching spot and let Lilith out. Vergil stood with a sniper at the ready, Dante guarded Lilith as she walked towards the swat car, where a team was prepared. Me, Kat, and Roni remained in the car.
The tension was high leaving both parties in suspense. The three of us were practically holding hands as we watched. Just when relief was going to wash over us we heard a gun shot and saw a gaping hole in Lilith's stomach.
'What the hell?!' We heard Dante yell.
'Who shot her?!' Roni cried.
'Vergil did!' Kat cried.
'What the fuck is wrong with you, Vergil! You killed an unborn child you sick bastard!' I yelled.
The sound of gunshots being fires echoed. Roni made us duck as bullets flew over our heads. I was on the verge of crying because of the current situation. Vergil jumped into the car a few minutes later and sped off.
'Where's Dante and why did you shoot Lilith?!' I shouted.
'He's clearing a path for us and I had to.' Vergil replies softly.
'You didn't have to! There was a baby inside her! What you did was worse than an abortion!' I yelled.
Roni and Kat were speechless as I lashed out at Vergil.
'I did us a favor. The world would be better off knowing that I rid it of the seed of Mundus.'
'I think the world would be better off without Mundus. The baby was innocent and had no idea on what it's doing.' Roni says.
'I agree with them, Vergil. It's not like you to kill an innocent being even if they were a demon spawn. Children are innocent little beings.' Kat says.
'You don't understand how much is at stake.'
'What damage can a little baby do? It's the father we are having issues with.'
Vergil stayed silent as he drove us through the paths Dante was clearing for us. The only sounds that came from us were occasional grunts or groans as we went though each path.
It was minutes later when Dante landed on top of the car as we headed back to headquarters. I couldn't look at Vergil at all. He seemed like a heartless creature to me now. My feelings for him became a mixture of hate but also love.
As ruthless as he seemed now, a part of me still loved him. I hoped there was still some kind of feeling that he would only show me. But at the moment I hated him. Everyone stayed quiet for the rest of the ride home.
When we got back to headquarters everyone went their separate ways. I felt someone tug me back. I already knew it was Vergil and I knew for sure I didn't want to speak with him.
'Leave me alone.' I tell him.
'Victoria, just let me explain.' He replied, turning my body to face him.
I didn't look him in the eye just kept my face down.
'Look at me.'
I shook my head no. I felt my head being gently tilted up to face him. His eyes were colder than I ever seen before. But there was a hint of remorse in them also.
'I know you are angry with me but in time you will realize that what I did was necessary.'
'Killing a child, an unborn one, was not necessary. Just because the baby was Mundus's doesn't mean he or she will be evil.'
'But-'
'No buts, Vergil. I thought you were wiser than this. I don't want to talk you ever again.'
I stormed off into my room. Once I got in there I just bursted into tears.
'How could he be so heartless?'I thought.
