Abandoned
I do not own Devil May Cry or Dante. I do own Ariel and any other characters that are not in the games or anime. This is just for fun. Enjoy!
A/N- I am so sorry for the long wait. I had a bad case of writer's block. I hope this makes up for the wait!
Chapter 25
Octavius followed the laughter into a large dark and empty room. He landed softly on the ground and released his sister. "You brought this upon yourself Ariel" they heard a male voice say. The twins quietly walked deeper into the room. Olivia gasped when the floor began to glow and shake. "I don't like this" she said. Octavius used his wings to shield them from the bright light. He lowered his wings as the glow faded.
Olivia shivered from the cool light breeze coming from the large hole on the wall on the other side of the room. Her eyes widened when she saw her mother being held and squished by what appeared to be a giant hand made of stone. She looked at her brother. Octavius's unreadable expression changed to anger when he set eyes on his mother.
His eyes turned a deep scarlet red. His fingernails changed into sharp claws. His teeth were sharp and pointy and curved horns grew at the top of his head. He screamed and slowly turned to face his quivering sister. Olivia stepped back. "Stay away" she cried, completely terrified. "Its me Olivia. Please... help me" Octavius pleaded, dropping to his knees.
Olivia kneeled in front of him and placed her hands on his shoulders. "Look at me Octavius" she said. Octavius looked into his sisters eyes. He felt his teeth sink back to their normal size along with the claws and horns. Olivia sighed in relief and hugged him. "How did you do that?" she asked. Octavius shrugged. "I don't know."
Adiemus, who had been watching the entire time, stepped out of the shadows and clapped. "Bravo my son. You are strong." He looked at Olivia. "My dear, you look so much like your mother." Octavius stood protectively in front of his sister and shielded her with his wings. Adiemus laughed and slowly walked closer to them.
"Adiemus" someone shouted. He turned and smiled at Ariel. She was breathing heavily and struggling to break free of the hand. "Leave them alone. This is between you and me." Adiemus raised his glowing hand and closed it into a fist. Ariel closed her eyes and screamed as the hand tightened. "Stop it" Olivia shouted.
Ariel stopped screaming and panted. Her face reddened. Adiemus laughed as she slowly closed her eyes. "Goodbye Ariel" he said as he opened his hand. "Noooo" Olivia yelled as her mother was released. She ran and jumped out the window. "Olivia" Octavius shouted as he ran after her.
He groaned as he hit something hard. He saw a bright yellow shield of some sort blocking his path. He placed his hands on it, feeling a small shock and tingle, and tried to force his way through it. "You won't get through it my son. No matter how hard you try" Adiemus said. Octavius dropped to his knees and repeatedly pounded the floor, crying for the loss of his sister and mother.
Adiemus's footsteps echoed as he walked towards Octavius. He placed his hand on his son's shaking shoulder. "Think about it this way my son, you are now free to do as you please. We can rule this pathetic world together. As father and son." Octavius looked up, eyes glowing bright red and teeth sharpening.
He grabbed his father's wrist and pulled him to meet his gaze. "I don't want to the rule the world" he whispered in a demonic voice. Octavius punched his father in the face and sent him flying across the room. He stood up, his body shaking uncontrollably and snarled. His skin became rough and scaly.
His horns and claws grew once again. "You will pay for my mother and sister's death." Adiemus laughed. "So be it." Adiemus crouched forward and exploded into a demon. He had the same features as his son. The two of them growled and spread their wings. "We don't have to do this Octavius" Adiemus said. "I beg to differ" Octavius replied.
