Note: Because I didn't like how the sequel was turning out, mainly because it now seems wrong to me that Dawn chose to marry Virgil so fast, I've changed the first ending. If you want me to still make a sequel for the good ending, please say so in your reviews. I thank all of you who read this story and hope I can make a better sequel for you.

Ending 1

I stand here, with Dawn at my side, and consider what I could do with this new life I have been given. I could go back into hell where my soul had thrived for so long. Or, I could give this world, the world my brother loves so much, a second chance. But how long will I go on my own? How long will I live such a lonely life?

"Guys?" I hear Dawn say at my side. "I don't know if I've said anything yet, but I don't have anywhere to go. I'm…"

"Homeless?" I ask.

She shyly nods her head and smiles.

"I haven't had a home in years." She tells me.

"There's room at my shop for the three of us." Dante answers her. So he now hopes to gain two roommates after his efforts to save us.

"How long do you hope for that to last?" I ask. Somehow I seem to hope it will last indefinitely. Is it because I know I have no way to begin this life? Or is it that I hope to learn the truth of why Dante went on his fool mission that saved us.

"Until you can't stand me any more." His answers never seemed so accurate to me.

"If that's the case, you have already lost a roommate."

"Virgil." Dawn dares to reprimand me? "Come on. You need somewhere to start. Dante will help us until we can find our own apartments. We both need this and you know it. Now, agree to it."

"Sounds like we've found our boss." Dante comments, his sarcasm growing even more irritating than before yet it seems like home. Is this what I left behind?

"If that's the case, then I guess I've found a job."

I watch as Dante takes her hand but is it as a sing of friendship or something more? I feel something new towards both of them but I can't let them know. There will be time to find out more of why I now feel such emotions.

"Come on." I say to both of them.

I take Dawn's hand in my own. She smiles at both of us before forcing Dante to lean down closer to her. She hides what she says to him well for I can't hear so much as a breath.

At last we leave. Hell fades behind us as we walk to our new lives. We are at last whole.

At last.

'Fare well, my son. The future is now yours.' My mother's voice speaks in my mind, slowly fading to a whisper as I walk away.

Ending 2

'You are right, boy. I cannot be destroyed. But you can take my place.'

How long must this go on?

'Do not listen to him, my son. He has no power over you unless you let him.'

Mother. You once told me you'd protect me from the devil himself. Where are you now? Why can't you keep me from hearing his voice?

'She is weak, Virgil. Can't you see that? She sits out of your reach and watches all that you go through. She hasn't the power to save you. After all, she is only human.'

"Virgil?" Dawn speaks as she gently places her hand on my arm.

'Why not take the pure girl at your side as your queen. She is my gift to you if you take my place. She does have more gifts than her purity. You only have yet to learn them, as does she. Take her, Virgil, and live as my heir. Take my place and my council. Take it and live as you have never lived before.'

"Step back, Dawn." Dante says. He seems to always have to be the hero.

The sound of steel soon follows. The fool believes he can destroy Satan's heir. Perhaps I will show him the truth.

I whip around and smile as I watch Dante's impact against a near by rock. Or perhaps it is rubble.

Dawn runs to Dante. I watch as she checks him for wounds and helps him sit up. She then looks up at me and asks, "What do you think you're doing? You could have killed him."

"That was the idea." I answer. I look at her, how beautiful she is.

"Dawn," I whisper. "Take my hand and we will rule hell together. We'll never have to die, or grow old. We'll be together for eternity. Please, take my hand. I can't live without you."

She looks at me for a moment before looking down at Dante.

"What ever part of you I felt anything for has died." She says. "The Virgil I loved, died. I don't know who you are. You look like him, but you aren't him. My answer is no."

"Look at me and say it."

She slowly turns her head to look at me.

"I'm sorry." She whispers as the tears roll down her lovely cheeks.

"Very well, then. Just remember, I'll be waiting for if you ever change your mind." I walk back into hell and let it fade with me inside. I will open a gateway later. For now, it is time for me to recover my army.

After Virgil left Dawn and Dante, Dante struggles to say, "I didn't know he was so strong. He didn't even touch me." The asks, "Why didn't you go with him?"

"That wasn't your brother." Dawn whispers. "It was something else.It has to be."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't worry. I should have known this would happen. I should have known he would go back."

Dante comfortingly puts his arms around Dawn. He cursed his brother as he held her. Vowing to kill him once and for all.
