Chapter 3- Deadly Details
Dante and Flame ran for what seemed to be miles. Almost at the outskirts of the town, Flame stopped and stood in front of a beige colored, two story house surrounded by a tall gate.
"Home sweet home." Flame said dejectedly as she gazed at the house. "Come on." She added as she pushed open the gate and walked up the walkway to her house.
Dante passed through the open gate and closed it behind him with a metallic click. He walked behind her up the three steps to the front door of her house and entered behind her.
"Have a seat." She said gesturing to the couch. "I'm going to get something to drink. You want anything?"
Dante just shook his head.
"I'll be right back." She said as she headed toward the kitchen.
Dante watched as she walked away and as she turned the corner he turned toward the large living room window. He pulled back the curtain and gazed outside. Flame had been right, everything was clear, no zombies staggering their way.
"I told you they can't get us here." Flame said matter of factly as she reentered the living room.
"You never told me why though?" Dante asked her, turning away from the window to look at her.
She took a swing from the can of Coke in her hand and brought it away from her lips. "There is a spell protecting my house. The zombies can't pass through it." She told him. She sat down on the couch and continued to sip from her drink.
Dante leaned against the wall by the window and crossed his arms across his chest. "So, Flame, what's the deal on this 'oh so powerful man', you told me about?" Dante asked her skeptically.
She quirked her eyebrow at him. "You don't impress so easily, do you?" She asked him.
"After you've tumbled with the dark lord of the underworld a few zombies don't seem all that impressive." Dante replied nonchalantly.
"Yes, I've heard all about your battle with Mundus and other powerful demons." She told him. "You are after all legendary."
"Well," Dante said smiling sheepishly. "I'm not one to blow my own horn." He smirked.
"I've also heard of another hunter, who goes around destroying demons." She told him candidly.
The smirk from Dante's face diminished and it was replaced with a neutral expression, but something in those ice blue eyes showed emotion. A mixture of sadness and anger.
"In his own right he is becoming a legend." She continued. "I've heard this other hunter's lineage is powerful and unique in his own right. He is, apparently, one of a kind."
"Thanks to his mother." Dante muttered under his breath.
"Pardon me?" Flame inquired. "I didn't quite hear that."
"Look, tell me why you need my help or I'm out of here!" Dante said impatiently. "I have other things to do besides standing here listening to nonsense."
"Fine then." Flame replied curtly. "I need your help to kill this bastard." She told him.
"Why exactly do you want to kill him?" Dante asked her.
"He's the one that killed everyone in this town, including my parents." She told him. "He slaughtered them without any mercy. I've been trying to kill him for many years, but I can't do it alone." She turned to look at him. "I need your help. I need to avenge my family." She declared.
Dante looked at her determined face and nodded in understanding. He knew all about avenging the one's you loved that were taken from you. He had avenged his family when he had killed Mundus. His thoughts wandered to the battle between him and Mundus.
"There's more." Flame told him pulling him out of his thoughts. "Lately he's been after me which explains the zombie attack in the cemetery. He finally realized I was after him and now I have become the hunted."
"How did he find out you were after him?" Dante asked her.
"I got careless." She replied. "I got too close to him."
"How so?" He inquired.
"It doesn't matter now." She said reprimanding herself. "He's also after anything that has power. Demons, devils, hunters, and anyone with a once of mystical powers. He wants them all to add more power to himself. He wants to become so powerful that he'll take over the world and there will be no one to stop him."
"I won't let that happen." Dante told her. "I'll stop him before he can achieve his demented goal."
"I'm glad I can count on you, Dante." She said gratefully. "I know with our combined powers we can stop him."
"How do we find him?" Dante asked her. "If he can attack us without even showing himself, this won't make it easy to locate him."
"Don't worry he'll come to us." She told him. "If he wants to take our powers he has to do it personally."
"Oh that's comforting." Dante said dully.
Flame smiled at him. "I doubt we'll have to wait long." She assured him.
"Good," Dante told her. "I'm not a very patient man."
"Yeah, I kind of figured that out already." She told him.
"So what are we doing until he shows up?" Dante asked her.
"Maybe you should get some sleep?" She suggested. "You look tired."
"I am tired. I was driving all night." He told her.
"There's a guest bedroom upstairs." She told him. "You can use it if you want?" Flame yawned. "I think I need to rest too." She rose from the couch and headed toward the stairs. "Coming?" She turned back and asked.
Dante pulled away from the wall and walked behind her up the stairs. They walked through the hallway and Flame stopped on a door on the right.
"You can rest here." She said opening the door to the room. "My room is two doors down and the bathroom is on your left." With that she turned and walked away leaving Dante standing in the open doorway.
