Call To Darkness: The Assassins' Story

Chapter 3: The Best Teams Comes in Twos

Virgil walked into Devil May Cry where he resided with his brother. After their battle (DMC 3) he was brought back to life. They fought for what seemed like forever until they worked out their differences. Now they lived together somewhat peacefully, even now. Which reminded him of another set of twins that visited every now and then. This pair was male and female and all devil. They just showed up and insisted on being their friends. Speaking of the devils. (pun intended) He could hear Dante yelling at the female twin. For some reason she always got on his nerves. Her name was Ebony. He knew what ever it was they were arguing about was a trivial thing. Her brother, Lucian was sitting on the front porch steps oiling his twin black guns. These guns were a lot smaller than Dante's Ebony and Ivory. Smaller guns for smaller people or so he guessed.

"What are they arguing about this time?" Virgil asked.

"Ebony wants to know who Dante's seeing at night but you know him he's refusing all knowledge of her."

Virgil rolled his eyes. This conversation happened ever time. Hell, he didn't even know who she was all he knew was that she had dark hair and glittering blue green eyes.

"I wouldn't go in there if I were you."

"Why?"

"Its your funeral. She's really on a rampage today. What happened to you?"

"I got caught up in a devil/vampire war."

"You shouldn't have."

"Tell that the two I saw. They seemed at each others throats."

"Vampires and Devils are allies in most things. This must be a personal vendetta."

"The devil claimed the vampire killed her family."

"Then it is a vendetta. Those are allowed however I'm afraid."

Virgil shook his head. "Did you get their names?"

"The devil called herself Asha. The vampire..."

"Let me guess Selena the Vampiric Queen Dragon Master."

Virgil looked at him with confusion in his eyes. After his death and revival he was more open to show his emotions to those close to him but not overly much. "What? I'm a Devil too Virgil I've met Asha before."

"What was you're impression of the deviless?"

"She's bad tempered Virgil its best you stay away from her."

"I'm going to go stop those two so I can get some sleep."

He walked in and Ebony had Dante in a head lock but Dante got out of it easily.

"Ebony just drop it. You'll meet her when she's ready."

"What do you mean when she's ready?"

"She's shy Ebony and she doesn't want to meet anyone yet."

"Okay then."

She let him go and bounced outside. Dante looked at his brother for a second.

"Don't look at me Dante."

"She'll never let it go until she meets Annabelle."

"Whatever Dante I'm going to bed."

He carried himself to his room and crashed on his bed. Carefully he placed his kitana on its stand and threw his coat on the chair. Sleep finally took over.

Elsewhere.

Selena stormed into her house slamming the door behind her. It startled the girl sitting on the window seat writing.

"Selena?"

"Sorry Anna I didn't mean to scare you."

"Its okay Selena. I'm assuming Asha showed up."

"That stupid..."

"Now, now Lena. She's not worth it."

Selena sat beside Anna and leaned her head against her back. "You better get some sleep Lena for tonight."

"You're right, what would I do without you?"

"Do you really want me to answer that one?"

"No, not really. You seeing Dante again?"

"I hope so. Why were you were looking for Virgil?"

"No, reason. Actually I wanted to meet the brother of your mate to be."

Anna blushed at that title. Due to her being a were-dragon any man she loved and had children with was called her mate. (I know there is only werewolves but in this world there are all sorts of were beasts.) "Anna does he know what you are?"

Anna looked away.

"He can't. He'll..."

"How can you know for sure?"

"He'll know me for what I am tomorrow night."

"Would it help if I was there?"

"No, you'd only make it worse. Dante has to prove to my were self that he can accept everything that I am."

"All right. I'll see you later Annabelle."

"Night Selena."

The vampire retreated to her room to sleep away the day. Anna sighed heavily. In her lap lay a drawing it was a vicious scene. Dante was battling her dark dragon form. When she dreamed of things it tended to come true. That's why she never told Dante about her other self. If he had to fight it would be better he didn't know it was her beneath the black scales. By nature Annabelle was kind hearted and shy rarely did you see the fierce side of her. Though there was her dragon form which was blood thirsty. That's mainly why she stayed with the Queen of Dragon Masters. She had a flute that could control her at times. Annabelle was a Dragon Master too but her partner Serenity watched out for Dante as she instructed for the dragon. With a heavy sigh she closed the sketch book and went to her room.

"Dante," she sighed as she fell asleep.

A/n: There we go. Meet my character Annabelle. The other set of twins will appear again soon enough. Before this is over one more character will be added. So what do yah think?
