Remembering Destiny
Chapter 4: My Dark Side

Melody stayed away from the house most of the day that day even though she promised Drake that she would tell him what he wanted to know. It was worst timing ever. At this point she was fertile and if her dark side got into a fight she'd probably jump Drake and take out her frustrations on him. As much as she cared about him she couldn't allow that. Besides now wasn't the time to get pregnant. The search parties were getting thicker by the moment. Speaking of... Below her tree perch four reapers slink from shadow to shadow hoping to catch the half devil unaware.
Fun time, she whispered as she dropped amoung them and began to fight violently.
She didn't know what it was but when she was fertile her dark side made her extremely violent. Of course if she sedated that hunger it would calm her dark side but she wasn't willing to risk it, yet. The reapers ended up piles of ashes and their dark spirits were sent back to hell where they belonged. Slowly she knelt down. The sun was setting and this was the worst part of the day. Her blue eyes changed to amethyst cat eyes. Dark angel wings spread from her back, flapping a few times before settling down. A few feathers settled around her.
(Okay I'm famous for this spilt type personality thing where the two halves can talk to each other and argue and actually know that they have the spilt. they speak out loud too, note this.)

Take him,' the beast within hissed.
I can't, she whispered.
Is it because you love him?'
Yes, I do but I can't risk that kind of thing right now.
There is always suppression.'
No, I don't want to wait that long for children.
Then just take him. He'll protect you and the child.'
I CAN'T! she snarled. He doesn't remember who he is. Therefore can't control the power he has and you know that!
Just take him. He'll remember in time.'
What if he changes when he remembers?
He wouldn't hit the mother of his child.'
I wouldn't put it past him.
Do you have that little faith in him?'
I DON'T KNOW VIRGIL SPARDA I KNOW DRAKE! she snarled.
They are one and the same.'
I bet they're not.
She knew that Drake was listening and so did her beast. When one comes back from amnesia they have a choice to stay as they are or revert back to their old selves. Most times they go back to the way they were.
Not all the time. You were the one that kept as you were when you had amnesia.'
I didn't like who I was before I lost my memory. I would have killed Nate a long time ago.
Then the change was worth it. Maybe Virgil will keep the life that Drake created with you.'
Who would want to?
She got up then breaking the connection she had with her beast and leapt into the nearest tree and sat crouching on a thick branch. Drake approached slowly.

she snapped not intending to be so harsh though. Drake I...
It's okay Melody.
No, its not. Drake you have to get out of here fast or I'll rape you here and now.
It wouldn't...
Don't say it, she growled.

Because no matter how much I want it. I can't have it.
She turned and leapt away from the tree and flew as fast as she could away from her own house. Landing carefully she stopped a crystal clear lake. The water was calm on this night. Wrapping her arms around herself she watched the water shift and turn as a wind started.

Hours later...

Why did she hate you so much? Drake asked from behind her.
Because when I lost my memories I was this loving sweet person that got along with everyone. They remember that girl and instantly want to be my friend. Once I remembered I had a choice to still be that girl or become the evil bitch I once was.
He knew she had more to say so he waited. Harmony saw this and grew angry once her husband and son were killed.
Her families death wasn't your fault.
No it wasn't but she can't understand that. All she heard from Mundus before he left was he wanted the half devil queen.

She chuckled. That was the one thing she hated the most was that title.
Yes, Queen. My mother denounced her crown to be with my human father. And yes there is a social ranking theme in the devil realm like in Medieval times. So by right I am Queen and like all bad guys they want to be made King.
What if I didn't want the crown only you?
Then I'd tell you, you're a stupid fool.
He looked down but she jumped into his arms startling him. She nuzzled his neck. But you're my stupid fool.
Am I?
she hissed.
She kissed him deeply but vanished before the kiss got out of hand. Drake stood there shocked. His finger rested on his lips. A goofy smile plastered on his face. From the shadows a confused half devil watched. Drake walked back to the house.
Melody sensed the stranger and landed behind him only to have two guns in her face.
Calm down Guardian of the Gates of Heaven.
How did?
I know the legend Dante.
Then why do you take care of my brother?
He has forgotten his destiny, she replied sadly as she faced the direction he had went.
What do you mean?
He has amnesia Dante.
And you are?
I am Melody. I want you to stay away from him Dante.
Afraid of Virgil are you?
No, I'm afraid of what will happen once he remembers. The Gate Guardian of Hell might not want a mate.
Typical woman... So sappy...
She didn't let him finish the sentence before her fist plowed into his face.
How dare you, she growled dangerously.
Her eyes were balancing between crimson and blue. Changing back and forth. Her hands flexed. Dante smirked as he ran his wrist across his lip. She had drawn a little blood he was impressed.
Calm down girl. I trust you to take care of him.
Why are you here?
Investigating reaper activities.
Sure you are Dante.
You calling me a liar?
she said sarcastically.
With one jump she was in a tree above his head. You better get out of here Dante before you do something stupid.
Her gaze was distant and full of lust. Dante snorted and walked away muttering things about incompetent women. Melody didn't hear him as she listened to the wind. It was a great thing that this wild darkness only lasted one night. Or she'd end up killing someone other than reapers. With a heavy sigh she returned to her room and locked the door.

A/N: Okay I got a review for Blood Red Moon whining about how I keep miss spelling Virgil's name. Frankly point in fact I don't care. That name gets the point across who it is. So don't mention the fact that I miss spell it. I work with ungrateful people all day and therefore I don't intend to please anyone. I write for me. If you like it that's great.
Sorry to those of you that don't care that spell it incorrectly. I'm not trying to offend anyone though. I'm just saying I don't care that I miss spelled it. I never finished the DMC games. I've only gotten so far and then gave up. So my knowledge of DMC is limited.
Anyway interesting twist huh? Melody a Queen and Virgil a Knight. Who better to protect a Queen but her knight in shining armor.
