------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A knock on the door awoke you from your slumber. You sat up abruptly, fearing that it might be Aeon again. You heard the door unlock. It slowly opened and a young lady stepped in. She looked only a few years older then you, wearing a long sleeved dress. Was she one of Aeon's servants? You didn't know Aeon had any. From the last time you were brought here, you saw not one girl in the building. You had thought Aeon, Eerious and the Armmedesson were the only inhabitance of the place. She held a tray in her hands holding what you assumed to be your breakfast. You threw your legs over the side of the bed, staring at the ground as she placed the tray on the night table just by your bed.

"Here's your breakfast. Aeon would like you to finish everything," she said.

"Why...?" you asked slowly.

"Excuse me?" The woman looked at you, bewildered.

You looked up at her with a frown. "Why do you serve him? Is it with free will or are you a prisoner along with me?"

The girl looked thoughtful for a moment before she sighed. "I guess it could be a little bit of both." She sat on the matress just a few spaces away from you. "I was an orphan before I was brought here, I was a little younger then you. I had no parents, no family, no home. I lived on the streets along with other teenagers. Aeon took me in saying that he will give me a place to stay and food to eat if I served him. I did have a high sense of pride back then, so naturally I refused. But he has amazing manipulative power, that soon I gave in. Now there really is no point of escaping, he feeds me, gives me a room to sleep in. This may not be a place I would consider home, but it's the closet thing."

"Are you the only servant here?"

She shook her head. "No, there are five others, all a few years older then me. Some are demons, others are just mortal humans. The demon women don't take too likely to the human girls though. But don't worry, you are safe. Aeon wouldn't dare have any of his servants harm you."

You looked away from her. "It wouldn't matter to me anyway."

She frowned. "Well, I better get going. If you need anyone to talk to I'm always around the corner, just ask for Tina."

You nodded. "I'm _______."

Tina smiled. "Enjoy your breakfast, honey."

The servant stood up, walked to the door and closed it behind her. You gazed towards the tray. A plate with what looked to be French Toast laid upon it, along with a cup of tea. You could feel your stomach growl, begging to be fed.

Your furrowed your brow, turning away from the food, and laying back on the bed. You refused to obey any of Aeon's orders no matter if you were hungry or not. You rather sleep the days away then encounter him once again. Maybe even have another dream of Dante. It felt so real. You brought your fingers to your lips, as if his touch was still there, but it was long from gone. You have had some dreams that felt like the pain was real, the feeling, but it was only an illusion from your mind. Dante wasn't there, wasn't alive. It was just a dream created by your subconcious, showing what you wanted more then anything in the world, to have Dante come back.

You closed your eyes, hoping for another dream to commence, but this time you did not dream.

Once Dante had left Devil May Cry he went straight towards the rented vehicle that was still ways away. It was untouched, unharmed, and he smiled because of that. There would be no delays now. Aeon thought he was dead, and ________ wouldn't be able to let his secret out because she didn't know. Dante got in the car, the keys still in the ignition. He turned the car on, reversing from the destruction he called home, and drove towards the main roads. First, Dante made his way towards hospital. If he wanted to save _______, he needed Lucinda's help. She still contained information on _______'s powers, and how he could bring her back home. Dante pressed on the gas, ignoring every speed sign he came across. He had time, he knew that but he wanted to protect her, he wanted to hold her in his arms, whispering to her that everything was alright, he's back, he came back for her.

The sun had begun to rise the closer he became towards the hospital. It was bright early, probably earlier then visiting hours but he didn't care. Once he approached the hospital building, he parked the car in a non-parking zone, stepped out, and quickly ran towards the entrance. He got to the front desk, saying he was hear to see Lucinda, and it was urgent. The woman was a little stunned at the tone of his voice, and he didn't wait for her to tell him the room. Dante remembered. He took quick paces towards the elevator, pressing the number of the floor. He waited impatiently as the elevator was pulled upwards, tapping his foot on the floor as he waited. The nurse beside him said nothing, but he could tell she looked nervous. Once the doors slid open, he was out, making his way towards her room, looking for 109. The door was only partially agaped. Dante immediatly stepped in. Lucinda looked up in surprise from the book they had given to her. She was reading the text with her fingers. She looked thoughtful as Dante approached her bed.

"_______ is not with you," she said.

"They took her. The damn bastards took her, and left me to die. I wouldn't be alive now if it wasn't for _______'s ability to resurrect," Dante replied.

"Resurrect? Interesting...there's a lot more of her powers than I'll begin to imagine. Did she contact you at all?"

"Through a dream, she still doesn't know I'm alive. She's being held captive in Aeon's castle I believe, but I'm not sure."
"You'll have to ask for certain once she contacts you again."

"That's why I came here, I need your help. You have the ability to find people's auras and follow them. I need you to lead me to her."

Lucinda curved her lips, closing the book and laying it on her lap. "The doctor won't let me leave. He says he still has some tests to run to observe my physical and emotional state."

"Then, I'll help you escape from here. I need your help, I want to save her. _______ has got a real problem. Aeon is ready to use anything in his power to have her help him, to be by his side and use her powers to dominate this dimension and the next. We only have little time, I don't know how long she'll be able to hold up."

Lucinda sighed. "I understand. We can escape from the window to my right. You'll have to take me to my place first, in order to grab my medical herbs for me to heal quicker. Then I can help you in finding her, besides I have a lot of information about her powers, and how she can get back home..."

*Author's Note: Lucinda is back, hmm, I can't say I favor her, honestly. I don't know why. I want to see some torture, too. Some pain and suffering would make my day, y'know? Am I the only one who thinks this? I know I am when it comes to school ^^
