This chapter is going to be a little bit different than the others. I hope everyone liked the last chapter and hopefully you will like this one too.


Dante's P.O.V

"What's wrong?" Melissa asked as she looked up from her magazine. "Someone has a job for you?"

I put on my coat and grabbed Rebellion, Ebony and Ivory from the wall. "Yeah and he is paying me good money." I said and turned to look at Melissa. "I need you to stay here and don't go anywhere, if someone comes in, tell them we are closed."

"Got it!"

"Order pizza if you want, the number is in the drawer somewhere." I said.

"Okay." She said as I walked out of the shop and walked down town to where the guy told me to go.

I got to the place and there was an abandoned church in the ruins. Almost immediately, I could sense the demon in the church. With Ebony and Ivory in hand, I walked through the door of the church, ready to shoot anything in my way.

The demon that stood before me looked quite familiar with wolfish features, fangs and claws; it was the demon the attacked Melissa.

"So, you are still alive…"

"You shouldn't have underestimated me, Son of Sparda." The demon said as it swung its claw at me. I jumped out of the way and it hit the ground.

"Aw, did someone get stuck?" I taunted the demon when he was trying to get his claw out of the dirt.

He got his claw out of the ground and turned to look at me.

"Grahhh!" He transformed into a larger version but with horns on top of his head.

"Now this should be fun." I smirked.

He rushed forward, swinging his now sword -like claws. I dodged his attack and cut him in the stomach, his blood gushing out from the wound. I shot him with Ebony and Ivory, backing away so I could perform another sword attack. He cut the bullets with his claws and came forward again, which was a big mistake. I cut his shoulder and he slowly fell to the ground. "That was for injuring Melissa, you son of a bitch."

He growled in pain. "Son of Sparda, I must ask you, why do you help a pathetic child?"

I glared at the demon, "Because I'm human."

The demon laughed at my answer. "Human? Ha! Sparda was a fool for loving a human! You are much like your father and that's what makes me hate you!"

I smirked, "Right, I'm always cleaning up Daddy's mess." I swung Rebellion down upon his head, killing him this time for good.

"Too easy…" I said walking out of the church.

As I was getting closer to the shop, I could see Trish driving her motorcycle in the distance. As she slowed down I stopped to wait for her.

When she stopped, she was panicking.

"What's wrong Trish?" Thinking something had happen to her.

"Dante, the Gate, someone opened it!" Trish said.

My eyes widened. "What!" Thinking of all the danger this town could be in right now. I need to get Melissa and bring her into a different town so she can stay safe. "Trish you go ahead, I need to bring Melissa to Fortuna. Nero and Kyrie will look after her." She nodded and I ran toward the shop.

As I was outside the shop I could sense a demon's presence, but it was faint. "No, Melissa!" I ran in the shop thinking the worse that could happen to her. Inside the shop, there was no sign of Melissa.

"Dammit!" I growled. There was a shotgun on the floor near the wall and blood on the ground. It wasn't blood from a human, but it was demon blood. Where the hell is she? Suddenly, it hit me. "The Gate!"

I ran to the Hell Gate through the forest and the abandon graveyard and saw Trish.

"I can't find Melissa!" I said as I approached Trish. "She must have been taken and gone through the Gate. Mundus must have sent someone to take her. I'm going through the Gate to find her."

Trish looked extremely worried. "I'm going too!

I shook my head. "No, I want you to stay here, Mundus is dangerous and you know that, I don't want anything to happen to you."

Trish looked me in the eyes, almost the way my mother did a long time ago when she was worried about me. "Stay safe Dante…"

"You too…" I said and started to walk through the Gate.


Payton's P.O.V

I opened my eyes to see Alexandra and my Dad's worried expressions.

"Is everything alright?" Dad asked. "You were out for about an hour.

I smiled and jumped up from the bed; dizzy from getting up to fast I fell back down. I laughed and stood up straight. "I talked to Melissa and she is safe!"

Dad smiled and Alexandria put her hand to her mouth, tears of happiness formed in the corner of her eyes. "I'm so glad, when is she coming home?"

"I going to talk to her again tomorrow and tell her when we will do the ritual." I said as they both nodded.

"Get some rest Payton." Dad said as he kissed me on the top of the head. "Alexandria, do you want to stay the night? You can sleep in the guest room."

Alexandria smiled. "Thank you, you're too kind." Dad smiled back.

"Awkward…" I mumbled, earning a glare from my Dad and Alexandria putting her hands on her hips.

I laughed, got under my covers and fell asleep.

"Johnny! Emily!" I yelled down the hall at school.

They both turned around and smiled. "Hey, how are you feeling?" Emily asked.

I smiled. "I'm good. I have so much to tell you!"

We all sat next to each other at lunch so I can explain what had happened last night. "I contact Melissa last night, she is alive and well!"

Johnny and Emily smiled. "That's great!" Johnny exclaimed.

"How?" Emily asked.

I explained about meditating through the pendent. I told them about how Melissa is staying with a man named Dante, and that tonight I am going to tell her how to do the ritual so she can finally come home.

"This is great!" Emily exclaimed as Johnny smiled and nodded.

The bell rang and we had to go to the next class. "Hey, you two come over tonight. You said you want to help out with the ritual." I said before leaving.

Johnny and Emily nodded. "We will!" They said in unison.

When school was done, I didn't even bother picking up my missing work and walked to the car loop. My father was waiting for me with Alexandria. I smiled as I got in the back of the car.

"How was school?" Alexandria asked.

"It was fine, I just want to get back home." I laughed as we drove the rest of the way home in silence.

When we got home I walked in the door, ignored my dogs jumping on me, and plopped down on my bed. I was so tired. I needed to get some rest.

Ring, ring, ring, ring

"Hello?" My voice sounded groggy.

"Payton, hi, Johnny and I want to know if we can come over know." Emily spoke.

I looked at my clock and it was 5:00. "Yeah, sorry I feel asleep."

Emily said goodbye and hung up. "Payton dinner is ready!"Dad called.

I got up and went to the kitchen and found Dad and Alexandria eating.

"Good evening, Sleeping Beauty!" Dad smiled as I glared at him.

"Did you have a good nap?" Alexandria asked smiling.

I nodded and smiled back. "Dad, Johnny and Emily are on their way." I said looking at him as he had spaghetti in his mouth. He nodded and I started to eat as well.

When we were done eating Johnny and Emily arrived. We talked about our day then sat down on the couch.

"I am going to go talk to Melissa so we can start the ritual." I got up and grabbed that pendent.

"Lay down so you won't fall and break your neck." Dad said.

I lie down on the couch and hold the pendent to my chest, concentrating on the meditation

"Um, Payton?" Johnny asked confused.

"Shh! I'm concentrating!" I snapped.

I call out for Melissa and slowly, I feel myself falling into meditation.


Dante's P.O.V.

I hated being here. Loud, tutored screams fills my ears, the dark and gloomy forests are all around me, man no wonder Dad rebelled, this place sucks!

I walked through the forest alone until a demon like skeleton- dog came out from the darkness.

"Well, what do you know, a Hell Hound…"I smirked looking at the snarling demon dog. I clap my hands and gestured the demon to come closer. "I'm going to take you out for a walk, come here Fido!"

The demon lunched forward with razor sharp teeth and claws. I turned my body to the side so it could not hit me.

When the demon landed behind me it turned around to face me, earning a bullet to the head. I put Ebony back in its place and rolled my eyes. "Come on Mundus, throw me a real challenge!" I yell into the air, knowing Mundus is watching every move I take. "You're going to make it too easy for me to find Melissa!"

I waited for any other demon to come and fight me, but no one came. I sigh and walked on. I need to find Melissa, she better not be hurt…

A light glow in my pocket disrupted my thoughts. "The hell?" I put my hand in the pocket and felt my pendent. I took it out to examine it only to be engulfed by the light.

I open my eyes to see nothing but white empty space. "Okay I'm not in hell, but what am I going here?" I mumbled to myself.

"Vergil?" A voice behind me asked. I turned around and found a blonde haired girl with blue eyes, who looks like the same age as Melissa, looking at me with a worried expression.

I nearly laughed. "No, I'm not Vergil. The names Dante, who the hell are you?"

The girl's eyes widen when she hears my name. "Dante, that's you?! Oh thank you so much!"

"Wait for what? Who are you!" I was getting a bit annoyed.

The blonde cleared her throat. "I'm Payton, a friend of Melissa!" She smiled showing perfect white teeth. I blinked, surprised I was meeting Payton. She had a confused look on her face. "It's good meeting my best friend's hero and all but where is Melissa?"

Great, how do I tell her that Melissa is in Hell and I am as well looking for her?

"Is she alright?" Payton asked in a soft but concerning voice. I couldn't answer her, so I said nothing, not looking at her the whole time.

"She is in danger…" I finally said.

Payton looked like she was having a hard time believing what I just said. "She was fine yesterday… What the hell happened!?"

I sighed and looked at her. "A demon came into my shop and took her. I don't know if she is hurt or not."

"Where did they take her!? Are you going to go find her?" Payton was getting angry and worried tears started to form in her eyes.

"I'm looking for her right now and she is in…" I trailed off not knowing what kind of reaction I'm going to get out of Payton.

"She is in where!?" Payton screamed.

"Hell…" I said know looking away from her. Payton hung her head, tears falling down her cheeks. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have left her alone in the shop."

"It's not your fault." Payton choked out. "I just can't believe the dream I had about her in Hell is real..."

My eyes widen. "What? You dreamt about this? What happens to her?" I demanded her to tell me.

Payton shakes a little and then spoke. "She was in a cage bloody head to toe and she became a monster…"

I touched Payton's shoulder to comfort her. She looked up escaping one last tear. "Payton, Melissa will not become a monster, and I will not allow them to harm her." I said in a soft voice.

Payton nodded and then flashed a weak smile. "Thanks Dante." She said as we both faded away from the white room.
