CHAPTER 2 - THE TRUE COLOURS OF PHOENIX

The Princess, whimpered and showed clear signs of fear of me in her eyes, In her eyes I saw a reflection of me, I saw what she was thinking in her eyes, they were too easy to read, She thought I meant only harm, that I was going to harm or even kill her. "Ehhh, come on, does it look like I wanna hurt you, I didn't touch you did I? You jumped too quickly to a conclusion." She stopped sobbing suddenly, looking up at me, she looked at me with a huge face of Confusion and pain. I had to calm her down, the last thing I needed was the demon runt turning on me, I mean sure he is a runt but he is still a demon, though something was oddly familiar about the runt; I couldn't quite put my finger on it though. I stood up and offered my had to the royal pain in the arse, with a cocky smile she took my hand and I lead her up, sitting her on a bench. "You Know, you were such strange clothes, even for an assassin! I mean look at you, you don't exactly even look like one at all!" The princess announced. " I mean, you could be quite pretty If you gave a dam, long red hair and a nice body figure, and your eyes are stunning! The coloured of emeralds gleaming in the sun." I looked down at her, frowning. "Hmmmm, you do wear interesting clothes don't you? Short Black leather Shorts, Red and Black Converse boots, long fingerless red and black striped gloves and a Short Black Leather top with a high rise collar." She Laughed "It's almost like you don't want to be pretty!" I bared my teeth at the princess, showing my vampire like fang, growling at her. She was quick to shut up, finally she shut up. "HEYYYYYY PHOENIX! TIME TO CLEAR OUT KIDDO WE HAE DONE OUR JOB!" Dante Yelled. My god, he's so loud the whole of Fortuna must have heard him; he scaled the Huge Statue of Sparda and jumped out of the smashed window that he entered through, I was quick to follow, climbing up the wall and out of the window.

We sprinted across the roof of the castle like structure, covering 300metres of the building in about 8 seconds. Then without warning Dante jumped down through an open window on the roof. "Dan' what are you doing, we had done our job lets go, Dan'!" He looked up at Me from the floor and smiled that cheeky grin "It's alright sweety, don't you worry about little old me, I just gotta do something before I leave that's all" ….Asshole. "Well I may as well come with you, who knows what kind of trouble you will get into when you are in there on your own, the last thing I want is to have to bust your ass out of jail, AGAIN!" I jumped through the window and landed next to Dante. "So do you know where this thing is?" I sighed as Dante looked around the building. "Err no, not really, Buuut, I have a feeling we will run into it soon!" I glared at Dante, as he opened a random door. "EEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKK GET OUT YOU PERVERT!" Dante slammed the door shut and I fell to the ground laughing, it seemed that Dante had opened the door to the women's bath house, Classic Dante moment. The screaming attracted some guards who we heard clanking around the corner, to avoid confrontation we slipped into another room and hid behind some large drapes. Panting, Dante and I stood extremely still, when we heard the guards leave to room, we both gave a sign of relief. As we emerged from the curtain we looked around the room, an ordinary room, though it had a platform surrounded in steps in the middle of it, on each 4 corners there was a Beam with curtains, an interesting room indeed. Me and Dante, we agreed that we should just wait in the room, for Dante's item to just come to us.

4 Hours we waited for the thing to come to us, we both grew tired and were desperately looking for something to do, something to keep us entertained, Dante came up with some ideas but I turned them down instantly. After another 2 hours Dante heard someone walking towards the door, He jumped up onto the horizontal pole that connected two of the beams and signalled me to hide behind the curtain once again, I agreed. It was a matter of seconds before the door opened and a young man walked in…..Wait WHAT! ARGH Not the demon runt! It wasn't long before Dante was in a fight with him again, though this time Dante was tired and wasn't his best at fighting, The Runt was the complete opposite though, well rested and Strong. It wasn't long until I realised what Dante was after….Vergil, what is your sword doing in the hands of a runt!? After about 10 minutes the fight was over, the kid giving in and Dante explained the situation to him, I reckoned it was safe to come out so I Confidently emerged for behind the drapes. The Demon runt looked at me, scanned me with his eyes and bowed his head slightly. The Runt turned to exit the room when Dante asked for his name. "Hey Kid, What's your name?" The Runt stopped when he answered "Nero, and your Dante Right? Not a bad name!" Nero exited the room and closed the door behind him. "So After almost 7 hours of waiting, you let him have the sword!? DANTE IM GOING TO KILL YOU!" Dante smiled and opened the large window, "We better get back huh? Come on lets go" Dante Jumped out of the window, and I stood at the windows edge. Why Vergil, Why does he have your sword, so strange. "HEY Phoenix! You Coming or what?" Nodding my head, I jumped out of the window and ran across the roof to Dante's Side.
