Call To Darkness: The Assassins' Story
Chapter 4: Seething Rage
"Dante?" a voice called out. "Dante, help me, please."
Dante shot awake. Every time someone called out his name before he woke. It was kinda unnerving even for someone like him. Suddenly Virgil busted into his room.
"Dante!"
"What is it?"
"You might want to come see this."
Dante slowly got out of his bed. He hoped it wasn't another mission he wanted to see Annabelle tonight. When he got outside he stopped dead in his tracks. On the streets a flaming figure walked towards Devil May Cry. Bat wings were spread wide. Virgil recognized it as Asha.
"What could that flaming fool want now?" Ebony asked. "Get it flaming fool?"
"Ebony," Virgil growled warningly.
"Sorry," she muttered.
The smile vanished quickly when Asha was in flame mode she was prepared to kick some ass. Lucian being the peaceful one slowly approached her.
"Now Asha..."
"Get out of my way!"
She used her flames to throw Lucian back into a brick wall. He quickly put out the flames in his clothes but due to his devil nature the flames didn't hurt him. Her steps were determined as she approached the two twins. Her eyes were focused on Dante specifically.Virgil noticed the hatred in her eyes towards her brother. Now it was his turn to try and stop her.
"Asha, what do you think you're doing?" Virgil snarled.
"Get out of my way Virgil before I have to get rough."
"DO you really think you can win?" Ebony asked calmly. "Whether you believe it or not I'll defend the Sparda twins with my life."
"As will I," Lucian put in.
"Then I'll kill you all," she snarled dangerously.
"That is enough!" Dante finally snapped. "You dare come to my home and disturb my peace. What business do you have here devil?"
"I'm here for Dante's blood," she snapped back.
Asha's steps became more determined as she approached closer. With a heavy thud something landed in her path. The moon almost full moon decided to pop out to reveal the disgruntle creature. A pissed silver dragon stood there.The dragon's wings were mantled and her teeth were bared.
"Get out of my way beast!"
"No, you're a threat to my master."
"I never pegged you a Dragon Master Dante," Asha hissed.
Dante thought for a moment on what she had just said. He wasn't a Dragon Master but Anna... A smirk graced his features. 'If Anna has accepted then that makes me the master along with her as mistress to this silver dragon.' he thought.
"Dragon Masters and Mistresses are all sorts of people Asha and you should know that."
Asha noticed something important about Dante that didn't fit his story. Dragon Masters had a Dragon mark. Dante had one but it wasn't a complete one.
"You're going to die anyway Dante."
The dragon got up on her hind legs to appear threatening. She hissed and snapped. "Do you think your attempts to scare me are working little dragon?"
"No, she was stalling for time. She summoned other Dragon Masters to her aid."
Asha whipped around. Three people stood there. Ebony recognized Selena as did Lucian. However, the other two most of the group didn't know. Of course Dante recognized the other female beside Selena. Inwardly he smiled. He'd get to see Annabelle sooner than he thought. His eyes met hers and he noticed a distinct shine only for him in her eyes. Asha noticed something was off about this human female as well as the human male. Their aura was off for humans. It had a mystical taint to it. She scrutinized both of them.
(my character)
The girl had long dark brown that reached past her shoulder blades. She stood at least 5'1. Her eyes were a glittering blue green eyes. As she moved the color shifted from a dark blue to an in between to a dark green and back again. She wore a blood red button down long sleeve shirt and black pants. Black boots completed the outfit. A dragon tooth hung from her neck. It had rubies inlaid in the top and the chain was made of silver. Virgil jerked and smiled this was Dante's girl. She was beautiful he had to admit.
(Wyatt here's your role.)
Their attention then shifted to the male. He had short brown hair. He stood about 5'6. His eyes were amber. (makes you feel tall compared to the rest of us huh?) His outfit was street mode attire. Basically jeans a t-shirt and gym shoes. A black trench coat was draped over his shoulders. Two other dragons landed heavily beside the two other Dragon Masters. The one was Shadow and the other was Crimson Fire. His scales were blood red.
"Now Asha I insist you leave Dante alone or face the wrath of three pissed dragons, a pissed vampire, and two other Dragon Masters."
"You think I'm afraid of those odds?"
"I didn't say you were afraid of the odds Asha. I was just imply you should be smart enough to back off."
"Why so Dante can fuck his girlfriend?" Asha snarled.
Annabelle tried to keep a strait face. The thoughts of that very subject had crossed her mind once or twice. Dante was quivering with rage inside. This deviless just insulted his girlfriend.
"Get her out of here before I kill her," Dante snarled. "I don't kill without reason but for you I'd make and exception."
"Selena you keep your hands off my man and I'll leave this place in peace."
"Done, now get out of here?"
Asha turned and before she leapt into the sky.
"Dante, you better watch out I'll make your life a living hell when the time comes."
"You can try, witch."
She vanished into the sky.
"Is everyone all right here?" Selena asked.
She got various forms of nods and agreements.
"Lets get introductions out of the way before we leave," Selena said. "I'm Selena, this is Annabelle and her friend Dayus."
"I'm Virgil, my brother Dante, Ebony, and her brother Lucian."
Annabelle dipped her head towards the group. She had a cute smirk only for Dante. The three dragons vanished along with their partners.
"That was interesting," Lucian said.
"Now Dante," Ebony began but when she looked around the red half devil twin was gone. "Dante. I'll get what the answers I want from you."
Virgil shook his head at the girls antics. 'So, Annabelle is Dante's girl, and a Dragon Master at that.' He hoped that this new love might get a chance to go somewhere. For his brothers sake. It was rare that he saw Dante smile like the way he saw him smiling at that girl. He, however saw something that Dante didn't. There was a sadness in her eyes as if she was hiding something that could destroy everything. For the sake of all things he hoped she could control it so that Dante's heart wouldn't break. She seemed a nice person. Shaking his head he went back inside Devil May Cry to try and get some sleep.
A/N: Next chapter up peoples. Virgil's perceptive about everything but the lust from a certain devil for him though. And Dante, so protective of his girlfriend. AWWEE how sweet. Wyatt here's your beginning hope you like...
