I awoke abruptly, and immediately stood upright out of my sleeping position to find myself in my own bed…
"Missy?" I called out into the air confused at my surroundings…
How on earth had I managed to get back in my own room? I knew damn well I'd fallen asleep on the couch, hell I'd even made an attempt to make a bed out of it, and I wouldn't have ever forced anyone else to sleep on that rock.
"Missy!" I yelled out towards the open door leading downstairs
…No answer.
My feet quickly found the floor where my clothes were laying, I tried desperately to recall how I'd gotten back into the bedroom without having kicked Missy out when she was sleeping, I looked around the bedroom seeking possible answers, half expecting to find any…
Than I'd made a horrifying discovery…
Blood stains littered the sheets on the bed...
My vision snapped around the bedroom looking for signs of a struggle but found nothing but the bed to have evidence of bloodshed. I directed my attention to the floor where faint foot prints outlined in red were shown walking out the door.
"MISSY!"I cried out fearfully
The steps thundered as I bolted downstairs to find the couch empty, She wasn't there…
I spun around in a frantic attempt to take in as much of my surroundings as possible, than noticed the footsteps that began in the bedroom followed through the main office into the bathroom, I ran towards the door to find it opened, and what awaited me there left me speechless… Words written in blood all over the bathroom walls
LIES
DICEIPT
MURDERER
FUCK YOU
I TRUSTED YOU
DANTE MUST DIE!
I looked into the mirror where it showed my name written with each letter clearly describing the feelings of the vandal towards me.
DEMONIC
ABOMINATION
NO
TRUTH
EXISTS
I took in each word to heart… I thought back… Far back into the events of last night… Remembering it purely as something I'd simply thought of in a bleak attempt to understand the mentality of the Incubus… And it was in that very moment that I recalled a very vital detail about them that had managed to slip past my reasoning, something I hadn't anticipated happening during Missy's stay with me.
They harbored the power to possess… Like most demons, they are able to manifest their spirit into an unsuspecting host… to do their bidding…
My Heart began to race as I ran throughout Devil May Cry trying to find Missy… She was nowhere to be found. I eventually grabbed Ebony And Ivory and kicked the front door down and yelled into the air.
"WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU MISSY!"
The click of a cocked gun was heard faintly… I turned my head upward towards the neon sign that hung over the building, and on top of the roof stood a heavily disturbed child.
"Missy…"I whispered through a choked voice, "Missy I-"
"YOU FUCKING LIAR!" her voice shrieked out, tears streaming down her face and falling into the barrel of the gun pointed at her chin with shaking hands, "I TRUSTED YOU!"
"Please… it's not what it-"
"I should have done this a long time ago!" She cried out sobbing, her eyes were bloodshot as she continued to weep, "Before all of this got out of hand! I should have killed myself the first time it happened!"
I dropped to my knees… Helplessly lost in the moment before me… I couldn't possibly save her now…
"Goodbye Dante! BURN IN HELL!"
BOOM
The world seemed to slow down in that instant…
My vision blurred considerably as I witnessed a bloody mass come slowly crashing to the ground. Blood rained from the sky and cascaded ruby droplets all around me. I damn near passed out as my whole body slumped over in a weak and sorrowful heap as I wept silently. I clutched the dirt beneath me and tried to fight back screaming into the air… But it was no use… A hopeful child died in my care...
"MISSYY!"
Time stood still for several moments, until the sound of a bewildered voice brought me back to reality.
"Lady?" I faintly heard Missy whisper.
My head snapped up onto the roof where Missy stood still intact, and slowly coming into view above her was Lady who kept her Kalina Ann cocked tight in her grip.
"Lady!" Missy cried reaching out to clutch her legs desperately pleading, "Dante..! Dante he..!"
"It wasn't Dante, Missy… Despite what you saw last night, it wasn't him."
Her head slowly turned and her eyes soon met mine, surely gushing with apology, regret, sorrow, every fowl feeling imaginable I attempted to convey silently to her, whether she managed to interpret and recognized my pleas was beyond me.
"Stand back" Lady commanded as she pointed her weapon towards the bloody heap that sat before me, I swiftly dove out of the way before her shot discharged and obliterated the remains of the Incubus, "That's the last of them…" She declared.
Merry Christmas everyone! in exchange for this chapter all I want for Christmas is reviews XD Much love to all! Cheers!
