Chapter Zero

I stood by the door staring out the window. I sighed sadly. "This is it….my time is over.." I fidget with my hair tie that kept my silky ruby red hair. I didn't know what to do, I didn't tell Maiter, Trish, Lady or…Dante. I didn't want them to worry. I knew that they would be sad…but I know that they will get over it. I'm not that important. I glanced at everyone, Trish was watching T. V while Lady wand Dante where playing pool, Dante was losing badly.

I looked at the clock, it was 11:45 pm. I had to go…"Hey Lu! Wanna play winner?" Dante called. I shook my head and smiled I headed out the door. Dante blinked he sensed something wrong. I headed down the street I remember the contract I made with the devil him self to save a close friend. I guess I was foolish then, I was still a child. Its strange, I know what's coming but I'm not scare I'm very relaxed and calm.

It was now 11:50..

I smiled, I didn't know why I just felt so calm about it. I leaned against a tree in the park. I sensed Dante's aura I smiled. I knew what he was going to say…" Lu! Hey what's wrong?' The white haired demon slayer asked walking up to me. I smiled trying to hide my tears. " Nothing at all I just needed some air." I said with a fake smile. I was a coward, I couldn't tell him the truth. I felt a couple of tears stroll down my face.

11: 55.………

I felt his warm hand wipe them away ' You suck at lying…" I blinked " I'm that easy to read ….? " I asked already knowing the answer. Dante smiled " no…I'm just that good.."

remember…….I will have your soul…exchange for her…That kept echoing through my mind.

It was 11:58...

I felt my heartbeat quicken I glanced at the clock. 2 minutes….I turned to Dante and smiled more tears rolling down my face. " Now tell me what's wrong" he said. I shook my head " I'm alright…Thank you for everything…you all been so kind to me.." Dante blinked "Lu….are you leavening?" he asked.

11:59.….

I smiled " I wasn't brave enough to say this before." Dante blinked 'Say what?" I smiled and was about to say I love you but the clock struck midnight. I felt my body shut down everything slowly turning black. I fell to the ground. The last thing I heard was Dante yelling my name.

Good bye…Love
