Chapter 14 : When Hell Comes Knockin

Hearing Vergil confess in such a apprehensive state. Esme's spirit stood before him, knowing that it was her fault , she knew all along. Seeing the impressive man Vergil had become she felt maybe she was the one unworthy and that she died for this reason. But Vergil still stood tall and proud as ever that he finally said what he waited so long to say.

Still an overwhelming feeling burdened Esme's chest, how Vergil was able to use human girl in sincerity, for the sole purpose of a higher goal. As she appeared to dissipate back into Vergil's pendant.

The blue knight returned to hacking into Mundus's tower servers. Unbeknownst to him, Esme released her spirit again, this time preventing the glow so Vergil wouldn't know, she stood behind him observing him on the computer. The brown mahogany wood decorating his secret location, the Ox blood coach… and the huge monitor Vergil seem to obsess in. She watched as he typed away cracking his neck often. His broad V shaped back curved symbolizing his defined control. The ripples in his shirt as it hugged his muscles and gracefully covered his fit arms. Remembering what he had told her before "It was suppose to be you under me those nights…".

Esme couldn't help but blush, she imagined what the experience would be like. Having died at a very young age, her body was still able to grow with the protection of her guardian, the son of Fenrir, and with her soul resting in Vergil's pendant.

She was able to grow mentally to full maturity. As her mind, body and spirit were put to rest she gradually advanced to Ark status. Without ever feeling the sensual touch or romanticism from another man. She imagined how Vergil, would come at her. He was very observant as a child unlike Dante who was incredibly impulsive but lovable.

She observed his once long wavy hair, short and pristine, almost dashing, as it highlighted his smooth neck. Images of her under him made her heart flutter, she could imagine what it would be like to trace along his back and neck, to pull on his short hair, or fully be emerged by him. Feeling like a stranger to romantic gestures. She figured if Vergil was successful in her rebirth, if he was aware of her chastity?. The comparison of his child hood aura was something she was familiar with, but this mature man…was determined and mysterious.

Suddenly she hear the door swing open form the bottom floor two people stumbling upstairs. Vergil turned around quickly to see Esme's spirit standing there .

"Esme?, I don't want that wretched thing to see you" (Referring to Lilith)

hearing Dante heading upstairs with the demonic concubine. It was too late, Dante already walked in with Lilith , looking at his blue twin :

"I got our leverage bro"

Vergil looking at Esme's transparent figure than back to Dante. Slightly puzzled Dante unable to see Esme's spirit.

"What? What is it?"

" Nothing, it's irrelevant .. I see you were successful. good job brother"

Vergil now gazing at Lilith , with a noticeable disgusted look graced his face. Lilith know fidgeting to her purse on the dusty floor. Dante effortlessly kicking it away.

This profound attitude Vergil noticed in his twin and felt a slight tinge of jealousy over his affections for Kat. But he knew all too well Dante wouldn't admit to it. Dante , determined as he continued to point Ebony and Ivory, his gorgeous crafted guns at Lilith.

"No dice Barbie, you gonna do exactly as we say"

Vergil joining in, putting his arms on the chair gazing down at Lilith

" You should be feel lucky, we don't rip that monster out of you"

Dante looking at Vergil with a questioning, surprised, he assured Lilith:

"Were not going to kill you or your child, unless Mundus gives us what we want"

Lilith continued to look down, her skin slightly sinking. Her purple voracious lips twitching, in her bravery she snickered back at the two Nephilim brothers

" you know even if he falls. There will be other, I see the Ark attached to you "

Lilith looking at Vergil, she unlike Dante could see Esme's spirit behind Vergil's back.

Dante confused:

" what is she taking about Vergil?"

" Ignorance Dante, don't be fooled by this demonic skin bag"

Vergil than grabbed Yamato unbinding and revealing its silver beauty. Lilith shrieking in protest

"No please , please ok ill do what ever you want,"

Dante taking off his jacket and waving his arm in the air,

" Oh fucking gross, don't even put the thought in my head"

Vergil freely chuckled in amusement then looked over to his brother

" Dante, there's a camera on in the first draw of that cabinet, the charger is there too, "

Dante reaches into the dusty cabinet to find various sorts of electronic cables and devices, charging the camera. After words he ties Lilith to the chair and points Ebony to her demonic head

" Start talking Barbie"

Vergil standing in the corner, observing Lilith's reaction, he looked to his side to see Esme's spirit in disbelief. The blue knight looked at her with a quick wink, his clean cut smirk making her blush.

Even though Dante couldn't see her, Vergil continued to be reminded what he had to do and never the less the life he wanted to live after all this hell.

Lilith mumbling still terrified, yet assured that Dante would keep his word. She continued to mumble :

" you've already sealed your own fate, both of you, with Mundus down who would take his place?"

Dante agitated, adjusting Ivory

" If that thing comes back, , don't even think of running Lilith, I will find you and I will kill you"

" I wasn't talking about my baby"

her worried eyes looked at Vergil followed by Dante. The muscular red twin stood up and looked at Vergil than back to Lilith

" what ?"

Vergil folding his arms and leaning against the desk, sighed and explained:

" She believes that our old friend Esme is the key to summoning another Hell king Dante, as I've said ignorance "

Vergil stepped outside on the balcony, the small apartment located on the very rundown outskirts of Limbo city. Because of the location there were no cell phone frequencies, only Vergil's personal untraceable wireless. As he stared from afar while Leaving Lilith in Dante's hands.

In his privacy , Alastor sitting on a near by roof top greets him:

" My dear friend, its seems that time has become you"

A small sigh came from Vergil's smooth lips:

" I have questioned your species Alastor, yet I don't think I should slay you,… I believe you will be of use to me…"

Alastor knowing fixing his coat looking up at the balcony where Vergil was. His purple lips in a grievous state.

" You've got me, I am a demon, a demon rooting for Mundus's defeat"

" hmm its interesting , you are certainly not a hell king,…far from it in fact. What could be your agenda"

" I was simply imprisoned by Mundus, this heart bares only revenge"

" You will be wise to never cross my path then. "

Vergil's words caused Alastor to meet his icy gaze. The mysterious demon spoke again:

" Of course, I wouldn't even dare… you have my word… Son of Sparda"

Vergil looking in the distance. Alastor continuing:

" By any means I came to tell you that time is running out for her salvation"

Vergil's eyebrows caving in, his pendant sparking. With annoyance, Alastor has his attention.

" Mundus knows of her body, and attempts to kill Fenrir, her protector after he recovers Lilith"

"I see.."

" Once he has his unborn child safe, he will find her soul , possess it, and use it after you and Dante"

" That's absurd, it's not possible to posses an Ark in slumber"

" Nothing is impossible Vergil. With an Ark Angel on his side, the damage can be catastrophic…so may I recommend, stalling him perhaps?"

looking down on the rooftop where Alastor sat, the demon holding his hands together and gracing his fingertips to his mouth, an amused look dawned on his face. Vergil growing impatient

"What do you mean Alastor?"

"Killing his unborn child and Lilith, Mundus will be too hell bent and thus!, come after you instead of her…"

While Vergil remained on the balcony Dante continued to press Lilith. Sitting across from her, mean and bound, his fury radiating from his pores. His dark raven hair defining his features.

" What is doing to Kat,"

Points gun at Lilith's head, finger on the trigger.

" He's just torturing her, …"

She pauses after seeing Dante's face soften, a look of worry dawned on his face.

Lilith taken back, she gasped and looked at the son of Sparda

"A Nephilim and human?…"

" None of fucking business Lilith, unless u wanna chat with Ebony and Ivory"

" Please don't.. please"

" How bad is the torture?"

" By the time I left for the club Mundus had already beaten her,…."

Dante jumping out of the chair his back turned to Lilith, the demonic mistress continued:

" But…but.. Im sure once he knows I'm gone…he will cease on the human"

"Your saggy ass better be right" Dante mumbled under his breath. Know seeing the camera charged, he called Vergil to come back inside so they could commence, sending Mundus a message for the "trade".

By the end of the dusty pale grey day , the trade was somewhat successful. Mundus got the message pretty clearly, sending his demonic swat team with Kat to the pier. Alastor's words resonated with Vergil, the thought of having Esme used against him was something he would not tolerate, even if it mean welcoming Hell just a little early.

Dante completely shocked at Vergil's desire to shoot Lilith and her unborn once Kat reached him, the red devil certainly wasn't prepared for Vergil's randomness. He cursed at Vergil and dashed towards Kat's frail and limping body. Carrying her back to the car as the swat team unloaded rounds onto Dante's back. Gently placing Kat in the back seat , the medium laid down and avoided being in open fire.

" Told you I would come back.." a smirk settled on Dante's face.

"I never doubted you.."

Vergil effortlessly taking out Mundus's swat team and jumping back into the car. The Demon King was defiantly not up for the Bullshit, unleashing a twisted Limbo to stall the brothers. A few cuts ,bruises and near death experiences later , the Nephilim brothers made it back to their secret location.

As Vergil stood on the balcony looking to see if any of the demonic collaborators had followed them, he somewhat dreading going back inside to face Kat. Knowing that he could reciprocate the same feelings he had for her before, and the pent up hatred she must have for him.

He did care for Kat , but the mission seemed too greater to harbor feelings, even so that his heart longed for another, … Esme.

"have I changed?" the thought settling as he began to see the sun set

While sitting Kat on the crates , holding her chin and observing her face, Dante let out a uneasy sigh

"Im so sorry Kat, I should've came sooner…"

The Nephilim cupped her chin, cleaning off the dirt and blood that was scattered on her young face. She twitched here and there as the pain seemed to sting, her face was sore, and her body felt like she was beaten to a pulp. Dante taking off his black gloves, maneuvering his hands to her arm, she squealed.

"I know it hurts like hell Kat ,but we have to get that bullet out"

the young medium bit her lip, quivering, Dante placed her hand on his shoulder

"its gonna hurt, so you can take it out on me"

a look of worry settled on Kat's face, Dante smirking

"Remember , I like it rough "

Kat let out an amused laugh that felt reminded of the deep pain of the bullet in her arm. As Dante moved his fingers in the Kat's wound, he held her close to his chest as she fidgeted in pain

"Its ok, Kat, I almost got it"

She buried her head in Dante's chest as he recovered the bullet, throwing it to the other side of the room. With haste he pulled out the first aid kit, to finish bandaging her wound. Kat watched as Dante tended to her in worry, she wondered why he still seemed upset, wasn't he happy to see her?

"Are you okay , Dante?"

Dante continued to wrap her wound quickly and efficiently, mumbling under his breath

"I can't keep letting you get in harms way, you've done enough,"

"Dante its okay, Im okay"

"No its not, I don't want you doing this to yourself anymore, I will not have you give your… "

"but Dante"

"Kat , I will not abandon you and Im not gonna feed you to the fucking demons either, end of story"

She stood quite as he wrapped up her wound, , wiping away the last trace of dirt from her cheeks, Dante's blue eyes wondering all over to examine her physical state. She began to feel the sensation of shyness come over her.

Until Vergil walked in, looking at her and Dante

The heat from Kat's chest began to rise, an uncontrollable sense of fury sent Kat's face to turn red, Dante holding Kat's shoulders

"Kat?, are you ok what's wrong?"

The young mediums eyes now fixed on Vergil, who decided to finally approach her.

With her unknown power Kat used her physic ability to levitate and send Vergil's laptop from the desk to the other side of the room, crushing it completely. He turned amazed looking at Kat

Dante completely shocked

"oh shit.."

both Nephilim brothers and Kat weren't aware of the extent of a medium abilities. The laptop almost hitting Vergil's head. Kat covering her mouth in disbelief

"I…I…..I didn't mean"

Dante intercepting Kat, placing her blue hoodie over her head.

"Kat.?..."

Vergil taking the hint, and leaving the room again. He knew she had loved him, and he wasn't able to open his heart to her.
