Call To Darkness: The Assassins' Story

Chapter 24: Change of Heart pt 1

Cold silver eyes shot open as two were dragons were silence only to have one reawaken. Two of her most loyal minions appeared beside her kneeling down on one knee. Their heads were downcast. She scrutinized the brothers as they knelt there. Both had black hair. Destruction had long hair that was tided in a ponytail at the base of his neck. His wild bangs shadowed his eyes. His brother's hair was wild and untamed mess that was short. They both had deep amethyst eyes that were uncommon to humans but common to devils which lead her to believe they had such blood in them. Shaking her head she cleared her throat.
I have a new mission for the two of you.
Anything Mistress, they said at the same time.
The iciness of her voice sent shivers down each brother's spine. Destruction hated this woman with everything he was. The only reason he took her shit was simply because she hung Anna's safety over his head.
I want both of you to go to Devil May Cry and capture Anna and the brat that she and the red Sparda twin have created.
Inwardly Destruction cringed. So it had begun the end of Heaven, Hell and Earth. Anna was the most powerful were dragon out there due to her Angel heritage. As you well know she has yet again escaped Death's grasp with the aid of Lucifer.
Yes, Mistress, both said in unison.
When Anna had died and been brought back to life Darien and Destruction had heaved a sigh of relief.
Why would Lucifer help an half-ling angel? Chaos asked stupidly.
Because my fool she has the greatest power in the world and only when she is ours then will we be able to take over the three worlds.
Is that why we're not permitted to kill the bitch? Chaos questioned.
The woman turned on him faster than he could blink. She had him pinned to the nearest wall with her nails digging into his throat drawing blood. Her glare could freeze the deepest oceans.
She is to stay alive at all costs or it will be your life, she snarled.
Yes, Mistress, he choked out.
Dropping him on the ground she went to sit on her throne. She didn't miss the smirk that was playing on Destructions face. The woman thought about it again why it was they needed the girl alive. The only reason was that no matter what she did in life she'd always have pure blood. Though the angels would think her corrupted due to her mating with the half devil Dante, and she couldn't forget the son they created.
Is that all Mistress? Destruction asked.
Yes, you two are dismissed.
Chaos stumbled out of the room. And Destruction don't let your better half get in the way or I will kill her.
Yes, Mistress, he growled darkly.
He followed his brother to their section of the mansion. Chaos was whipping the blood off of his throat.
Destruction that bitch of yours is to much trouble.
Chaos didn't have time to think before his head was slammed into the glass shattering it. Blood dripped down his face from the glass embedded in his face.
You'll pay for that Destruction, Chaos growled.
Turning around he slammed his fist into Destruction's face sending his brother reeling for a second before he recovered and threw another. The two of them engaged in an all out brawl. Destruction finally pinned Chaos to the ground.
You will never talk about Anna that way again, he snarled.
That girl will be your undoing, Chaos snapped back.
That maybe true but at least I have something to fight for.
He slammed his brother to the ground again and then got up.

Their Mistress watched the two brother's fight in her mirror. Laughing at the two of them she waved away the image. They didn't realize no matter how much Destruction wanted Anna to stay alive she'd never survive her mate's death. Anyone that understood her kind knew that Anna was a powerful entity whether or not she knew she was. Shaking her head she had her servants prepare a room for their new guest.

Anna slept peacefully in Dante's arms. Somewhere during that morning he had wrapped his arms around her. The sound of their son crying startled both parents out of their sleep. Anna scrambled to get up but was held down by Dante.
Ebony will take care of him.
Dante, let me go, she whined. We scared him last night. It was because of him you gained the upper hand on me.
Anna I'm sorry about last night.
Don't worry about it Dante. We're both alive, that's all that matters. What do you remember about last night?
The change. Me killing you.
You weren't suppose to remember.
I still taste your blood in my mouth Anna. What exactly happened?
You changed. Every time you slept after that night I gave you the antidote it burned away the stuff until there was no more and to keep you from changing I had to die.
So I can't become a were dragon anymore?
No, that ability died with me. What did you really want it? she asked seriously.
No, I don't like that I can easily tear you apart in that form.
She smiled softly as she got up. Dante easily let her go. He watched her form sway as she walked through the door. Shaking his head he got up and followed her to where their son was being kept.

Ebony looked up happily as Anna strolled into the room. She looked weak but her stride was confident. DJ reached for his mother as soon as she came into the room.
Glad to see you made it Anna.
Thank your father for me one day.
I will.
Anna took her son from Ebony and sat down in a heavily padded leather chair. The young devil left the room as soon as Dante entered. Holding a blanket over her shoulder Ann breast fed her son. Two forms curled around the chair she was sitting in. They were two young dragons one white on black.
Anna don't move.
Don't worry Dante these two are our son's partners.

These two dragons are his partners once he gets older.
I thought that the dragon master thing would end with you.
No, the female is reserved for Dante's future mate and she knows exactly who it is.
That's scary.
The black one's head shot up and its Amethyst eyes glittered.
What are you looking at short stuff?
The other one shot its head up. This one's eyes was glittering a dangerous red.
Now be nice all of you, Anna said softly to the dragons.
The two of them laid their heads down and closed their eyes. Dante moved closer to his mate. He noticed the gentle smile that was always on his mate's face was gone.

They're coming.

Destruction and Chaos. They're coming.
I'll take care of you too.
As will the rest of us, Virgil said as he walked in with the rest of the group in tow.
The Final Confrantation is about to begin.
