Nero kicked away more annoying branches. I quickly shuffled behind him, before the heavy fog would close the gap between us.

We've been wandering in this mist filled forest for what seemed like hours, yet I refused to lose hope, Rose is here…I can feel it…

We shoved through more stubborn vines, only to find ourselves at an intersection. Three rugged paths jutted out in different directions, all seemed peacefully silent, except for one.

The sound of Rose's sweet voice seemed to come from the path, farthest to the left. "D-Do you hear that?" I glanced at Nero with eyes as large as saucer pans. He raised an eyebrow at me, which I ignored.

"Rayne…are you sure this is the right-" I cut him off , following the twisting path as I lead a curious Nero, my dampened hair sticking to my forehead. The loft lullaby proving it trustworthy.

Mist covered trees rushed past me in a haze as I unconsiously quickened my speed, my crazed thoughts leading the way. I stumbled, and fell, but keep getting up on my feet, obeying the thoughts screaming in my head. Think I'm insane? Join the club…

Finally, I entered a clearing, a large fountian in the center. Its crystal clear water sparkling oblivious to the lack of sun.

But what really caught my attention, was the gorgeous young woman, kneeling in front of the fountain. Her long scarlet hair falling over her shoulders, her plain white dress hugging her every curve.

Rose…

My mind raced as I stumbled towards her. A violent battle in my mind on whether this was really her or not. She remained still, eyeing the fountain that oh so interested her.

Oblivious to the fact the Nero was long missing by now, I continued to stumble towards her.

Closer…

Closer..

Just as my hand was about to land on her shoulder, she turned to me, her emerald eyes, large and beautiful.

Her eyebrows lifted as her lips twisted into a crooked smile, white, long wings suddenly exploding from her back. The force knocked me back a few feet, landing hard on my back, eyeing my sister with a terrified expression.

"R-Rose…"

Her wings flapped and her feet lifted a few inches from the ground, preparing to take off.

"R-Rose! Rose no!" I hurried to my feet, stumbling as I chased after her. "Rose please don't!" Tears threatened to pour as she lifted higher into the sky.

My heart swelled as I neared her, and leaped into the air, reaching my hand to grab her foot.

But she lifted out of my reach. Missing by barely an inch, I fell backwards once again, tears slowly burning my cheeks.

Her beautiful small lips still held the same beautiful crooked smile as she eyed me, and only me.

Beautiful gold glitter sparkled at her toes, which disintergrated as the gritter moved higher, engulfing her legs and torso. I watched in utter misery as the rest of the glitter engulfed her, her small lips, still smiling.

I thrashed my way through the forest, sobbing violently, not having a care in the world where I ended up

I leaned heavily on a tree, screaming and punching deep holes into the poor thing. Its vines stretched and popped, the tree threatning to topple over.

My knuckles were covered in crimson blood as I slumped to the ground, my head resting between my legs.

"Hey…are you okay…?" A low, familiar voice rang in my ears. It could only belong to one person, the one I despised.

I glanced up with hate-filled eyes to see pale blue eyes looking into my golden ones.

Dante…

A growl growl escaped my throat as I pounced on him, knocking him back onto the dirt.

I grabbed his collar and jerked him upward, pulling back my threatning fist. "What did. You do. To Rose!?"

He laughed aloud, a stupid grin crossing his features. His nonchalant attitude made me want to drive his pretty face into the ground.

Suddenly, he kicked me in the torso, knocking me into the branches of a tree. "Heh…if you only knew…"

My vision blurred, as my eyes slowly drooping closed.

--

The sound of boots heavily thudding awoke me from my dreamless slumber. My eyes fluttered open to see firm pale arms holding me against a warm chest. "Do me a favor and never do that again." Nero's boyish voice stated, irritation quite evident in his tone.

I squirmed out of his arms, stumbling as I stedied myself on my feet, "I can handle myself." I murmured under my breath. The large bruise Dante left on my torso screamed in protest, which I merely ignored.

He raised his left brow, eyeing me as we walked, "You have a funny way of showing it."

My eyes narrowed into slits, and decided to change the subject, "Where are we going anyway?"

He ignored my question, stalking ahead of me. Removing Red queen, he sliced through a few more branches, revealing a busy city before us. His large hand grasped mine, leading me onto the streets.

The moon made it evident that it was once again night.

He lead me down a busy street, striding his way around the countless amounts of people.

Nero lead me through the doors of what looked like a apartment building, but the red hazed light, and the lack of comfort proved wrong. He lead me across the small red-hazed room, and up to one of the threatning body guards, his face being completely blank.

The threatning body guard, flashed Nero a picture, and in response,Nero whispered a demonic code. The guard steped aside, revealing a large black door behind him.

Nero tugged on my arm, opening the large door. Heavy rock music immedietly blared into my eardrums as he lead me into the crowds of what looked like humans, but their sharpened teeth and claws proved them to be in fact demons.

My eyes bugged as a human's screams a thrashed came from a large bag, a large crowd of demons feasting on him.

Neros arm wrapped around my waist, tugging me away from the sight, and towards a large door, where another guard stood.

"I need to see Simon." He stated in the most buisness like voice I've ever heard. I would have burst out laughing right now if I wasn't scared shitless.

"Yeah. You and everyone else." The guard muttered. Nero looked as if he were about to stangle the man when a teenager with golden hair emerged from the door.

"Nero…?" His skaterish voice questioned, eyeing him. The teen gave the guard a nod, who stepped aside, allowing us in.

Nero pulled me into the small room, where the teen stalked to his desk, kicking his feet up. "What can I do for ya?"

Nero took a seat in the large couch in front of his desk, A serious look in his eye. "I'm sure you remember Dante…right?" The teen only nodded, and Nero continued, "Well, he has Rayne's sister."

The teens blond brows knitted together questioningly, "Eh…and why should that interest me…?"

"Because Rose in an angel…"

My eyes nearly bugged out of my sockets, eyeing Nero like he had two heads. "Aha…no she's not. She's a demon. De-mon."

Nero turned his attention to me, the same serious look on his features, "How many demons do you know make pretty golden sparkles when they exit?" When I didn't respond he continued, "That's what I thought."

The teen looked back at Nero, running a pale hand through his spikey hair, "Hm…Dante…with an angel…humph, that's a tuffy you've got there…maybe…" He was silent for a moment, "maybe…he wanted to prevent her from crossing over to hell…I don't see any other reason why…"

My mouth hung open, staring at the teen with a shocked expression, "That…doesn't make any sence…why would he want to save her? He…he doesn't even know her!"

The teen raised his hands in defense, closing his emerald eyes. "Beats me. But from what I'm hearing, stuff doesn't sound so good for your sis." He finally opened his eyes, standing from his desk, "Now out, out, out, I've got stuff to do."

My mouth still hung open as Nero pulled my up from the couch.

It all made sence now.

Someone wants my sister in hell…
