-------------------------------

It took no time for Dante's eyes to adjust to the darkness as he scanned the room for any activity. There seemed to be none. He walked past the pews down to the end of the church, and looked up at the altar. He couldn't hear anything, not even the rain from outside.

Suddenly all the hairs on his neck rose, warning him of danger. He turned around, and almost didn't believe what he saw.

On the walls, at least 20 pairs of ruby red eyes were staring down at him. Dante instantly knew they were shadows, and took a step back. He could hear their cat-like growls and the smell of blood was in the air.

The shadows slid down the wall, still in their lifeless, flat forms. They started to come together at a point, moulding into each other and creating a great black sphere, steadily growing in size.

"What the f.?"

The sphere stopped growing and landed on the floor, it started to change shape. The bottom seemed to go down deep into the floor as it pulsated. The top half looked almost like the top of a human, but with feline properties.

Dante looked for a way out, only to find that as soon as he saw them, a big black spike would shoot out of the creature, demolishing it.

He was trapped.

With no escape route, he would have to fight this thing. If it was anything like the shadows he encountered before, he couldn't rely on his fists, only his twin pistols. And up against this monstrosity, it would take a lot of hits. The beast roared and hissed in his direction, and Dante knew that the fight had started.

-------------------------------

"I can't believe we read through all those books. Are we done yet?"

"Not by a long shot. We have a very big basement you know."

Nicole sighed, she was bored. She was beginning to wish that she hadn't gone along with Virgil in the first place. But then Virgil would be dead, and she couldn't have that. She was also deep in thought about what had happened earlier with the so-called 'mind reading' thing. "Why does he find it so hard to accept?" she thought.

"Probably why you don't seem to accept what's happened to you." She heard a voice say. But the voice was not Virgil's.

"What?" Nicole said out loud.

"What?" Vigil said.

"Umm, nothing. Just surprised about some of the things these devils did." Nicole pretended to read.

"Who are you?" she asked mentally.

"I am Shiva, I created the weapon you now hold."

"Oh. Hey wait a minute, why are you in the weapon you made?"

"Curse, my dear. I was cursed."

"But how? I mean by who?"

"Procicule."

-------------------------------

Dante dodged another black spike and headed to the left side of the creature. He shot a few rounds into its side, but it seemed to do no damage. Blue sparks arose and charged towards him. The creature laughed deeply, firing another spike at him. It missed and hit some of the pews, sending splinters everywhere. This was not good.

Dante ran towards the back of the church, but only ended up being cornered and stabbed in the arm. If he didn't get out of this soon, he was a dead man.

The creature had had enough of this. It spread outs its body from one side of the room to the other and came slowly towards the devil hunter. It was going to crush him up against the wall, but wanted to give Dante enough time alive to know this.

He knew.

The floor creaked under the weight of the monster and Dante could see the floorboards cracking and falling under the floor.

"Under the floor?" He wasted no time thinking about it. He quickly fired a few rounds into the wooden floor in front of him and punched the floor. It gave way beneath him, and he fell into the darkness.
