Call To Darkness: The Assassins' Story

Chapter 14: Blood of Love and Life

(okay. I've noticed something when I look at the stats of my story. It tells me that I have 634 hits yet I only have 15 reviews. If you would be so kind and review my story please. I'd really appricate it. Even if it just tells me you like my chapter. I'll even accept flames if it makes you DMC fans happy. A lot of people seem to like this one.)

Dante woke up and Anna was gone, again. He was getting irrated by her disappearing on him every time. Then he heard her laughing with Ebony downstairs. A sigh of relief escaped him. Something was making him sleepy for some reason. Anna sensed it and headed back upstairs as if in a trance.

"Dante?"

"Anna why am I so sleepy?"

"I don't know."

She sat down beside him in bed. There was something making him want to sleep. From the scent it was heavy earth magic. Any earth witch could envoke this but she didn't know any. And the wood elves... She hoped that...

"Dante, fight it."

"Anna I'm just tired form using Devil Trigger so many times."

"Dante its not that. Normally your strength returns not long after."

He felt his eyes getting heavier until a crack was heard and he felt a stinging pain in his cheek. His eyes were wide open now. Anna had rage burning in her eyes.

"What was that for?"

"You need to stay awake dang it. If hitting you will keep you awake then I'll do it."

"How about something else?"

"Dante that'll put you to sleep once we finish."

"Awe Anna your not any fun."

"Dante Sparda you moron. Is sex the only thing you think about?"

"Just about. Who can blame me with a sexy babe like you as my mate?"

"Who are you and what have you done to my Dante?"

"I am Dante babe."

"Yeah and I'm the Queen of Wood Elves."

"You're my Queen Anna," he purred.

She heard Ebony laughing from downstairs. "EBONY! DID YOU DO THIS TO HIM?" she snarled into the deviless's mind.

The giggling increased knowing she had. Then it was a harmless, for the moment, love spell.

"Dante I swear..."

"Shut up and kiss me."

Rolling her eyes he pushed her backwards onto the bed and began to bite at her throat.

Ebony sat at the table and giggled to herself as she heard what was going on with Anna and Dante. That was the one good thing about Lucifer being her sire he granted her certain powers. Dante needed to relax because his doubt was getting in the way of the best thing in his life, true and unconditional love. Anna was a special person despite what her brother believed. She knew he hated Anna with everything that he was. Lucian had died first so he didn't know what had happened after that. Lucian didn't understand Anna was out there trying to protect them. She was taken from her life to help them.

Soft foot falls were slowly coming from behind her.

"He wasn't meant to understand," a male voice hissed from behind her.

"Hello father."

"Daughter."

"Why wasn't he suppose to understand?"

"Anna is not all that she appears and he doesn't trust that."

"What do you mean?"

"There is a deep rooted power that he senses that you don't and he doesn't trust that."

"Anna wouldn't hurt us."

"No she wouldn't. Others would to get to her. What better way to get to Anna than through those she loves or protects."

"What is so special about Anna that would make..."

"Her blood."

"Okay?"

"Her blood is the blood of love and life."

"I don't understand."

"Her blood is of sacrafice and that is what will release it."

"Why her? She's suffered so much."

"And in her suffering she has gained something no one else has."

Lucifer turned and vanished leaving his daughter in a bind. This was an interesting twist to say the least. She had to find a way to keep Anna safe.
