It was two weeks after they met Caitlyn. They all had made her a friend easily. And that's how Rose, Shakira, Dante, and Caitlyn went to her Girls boot camp to help. Saphira, Crystal, Kaida, And Nero happened to be in different sections of the camp.
"This is my Girls boot camp. This is where I teach girls to protect themselves." Caitlyn said smiling. Rose had already made a friend with a little girl who had blond hair tied back into a braid. The little girl had proceeded to follow the group around. Caitlyn showed them a wooden cabin where the girls were able to do crafts and such. Then they were shown another cabin where the girls learned how to protect themselves. Then she showed them the cabins where the girls slept. The little girl meanwhile had run into the cabin and grabbed her dolly. She was thinking Dante would steal it. That's how Rose got a good look at the girl. She wore green pants, and a slightly loose purple t-shirt and red sneakers.
"Aww! Such a cute little girl!" Rose said.
"You thought all the little girls were cute, Rose" Shakira said pointedly. Rose smiled then patted the girl on the head. Then they all headed off to see the cafeteria.
Meanwhile the little girls had been dragging Nero, Crystal, Saphira, And Kaida this way and that showing them things. Saphira noticed that they had a swimming area in the lake. Kaida saw the crafts. Some of them were Kites. Crystal saw the bonfire they were going to have. They were going to have some fun.
Meanwhile Rose noticed a light bulb flickering in the cafeteria. She pointed to the light and a small ball of energy emerged from her skin and went into the light bulb. It stopped flickering and gave off the light needed. Then Rose had a brilliant idea. She pulled out a vial of red liquid. It was blood she had taken from her bloody sword after stabbing the demon. She also had a bit of skin.
"Caitlyn, I'll be right back." Rose said smiling at her then walked out and towards the bathroom. Dante, Shakira, and Caitlyn were confused but continued to walk around.
Inside the bathroom Rose tore up the piece of skin into small bits and dropped it into the vial of blood. Then she gave it a shock. It started to bubble and turn purple. She suddenly started to wonder what this liquid would do now.
Meanwhile Dante smelled the scent of blood. It was demon blood and it was coming from the bathroom. He watched as Rose walked back out of the bathroom. But he saw a small demon pop into sight then disappear again. He shrugged and continued walking as Rose caught up. He smelled the Demon blood on Rose but he shrugged it off. His demon side had caught whiff of it and started to complain to Dante causing a slight headache. He put his hand to his head.
"Hey you alright?" Shakira asked. Dante nodded to her and they continued.
The small demon reappeared behind a building corner watching that group. Then to its surprise it was suddenly face to face with a girl with blue hair. It squirmed in her grip but to no avail. It sighed and knew it was captured. Then the girl neatly shoved it into a leather bag and closed it tight. She then turned to head back to her group.
Saphira watched Crystal walk back to them with a squirming leather bag.
"Did You Catch A Squirrel?" She asked. Crystal sighed and looked at Nero.
"Well not exactly a squirrel but more like a small Demon. Found it when it was spying on our friends." Crystal said holding up the leather bag.
"A Small demon? Here?" Kaida said looking at the squirming leather bag. Nero looked at the leather bag then at Crystal.
Meanwhile the other group was heading to the playground. When Rose stopped and slapped a bug that was on her cheek. They heard a loud "OW!". Rose blinked then looked on the ground at her feet. A little demon lay on the ground K.O. Dante leaned over and picked it up. Rose stared at the K.O. demon confused.
"Where did it come from..?" She asked. They stood there staring at the demon confused for a while. Then the demon squirmed in Dante's hand. It was hoping to freak out who ever held him. But failed.
"Heeyy Let Go Big bully!" the small demon squeaked. Dante flicked it in the forehead. It let out another squeak and then proceeded to bite Dante's hand. He flinched but didn't let go of the demon.
"If you don't let go I'm going to pull in the big guns!" the little demon shouted. Dante sighed and then looked around. Rose meanwhile was staring at it. Shakira was getting ticked off though. She grabbed the little demon and punted it out of the camp. They watched it soar across the sky.
"Nice one" Rose grinned watching it fly off. Then she had the most curious sensation.
"Hold it. I think I've actually been here before." She said looking around. Then she walked off towards the beach that was nearby. The others followed.
Meanwhile Nero was having some troubles due to the fact some little girls had decided he was their new camp counselor. He had told them many times he wasn't, but they didn't listen to him at all. Kaida meanwhile had been looking at the lake.
"This seems familiar." She said thoughtfully then Crystal nodded.
"We went camping with your family here one day. Rose's friend Kate came along too" Crystal said. Kaida nodded and looked back to the lake.
"When was that?" Saphira asked trying to remember.
"When I was around 11 years old. At that Time Shakira was 12, Rose was 9, and Kaida was 7. That was also the year Kate died" Crystal said with a mournful tone in her voice. "Kate drowned in that lake. Rose tried to help her but no one can to help. They were all too late"
Rose walked up to the lake and waved to the other group off a ways. Then she looked at the lake sadly.
"That was such a sad day, for Rose" Shakira said to Dante. They were back out of ear-distance. "One of her best friends died"
"How?" Caitlyn asked from next to Dante.
"She drowned" Shakira said looking at Rose who actually was starting to worry her. She was acting a bit stranger then usual. "And No one made it in time to save her life. Rose wouldn't come down to the beach here for years after that. Not until now anyway"
Shakira would've said more but, Rose turned around and gave them a huge non-caring smile.
"Well, Let's get back to the tour. No use hanging around her!" Rose said cheerfully. Then there was a loud splash from the lake. Rose turned back around and backed up quite quickly. There in the middle of the lake was a huge demon. It looked quite angry with something. Then a large boulder came flying out of the lake at them. It flew right over their heads. Then the water level started to rise. It rose up to where Rose stood on the beach and stopped.
"Rose! Move Away From THAT WATER!" Crystal shouted at her. But Rose stood there staring at the demon in fear. Suddenly Shakira had a feeling Rose knew what that demon was and she was terrified of it. Suddenly Rose started to feel depressed from her painful memories of this lake and beach. Dante growled and looked at Rose.
"Stay Utterly Still." Shakira Said quite loudly. Crystal meanwhile had a plan. She wanted to figure out how this demon worked. But she didn't want anyone to get hurt. Well anyone who CAN die. But this already was going terribly wrong already. Kaida was quite deliberately moving forward slowly but surely towards her sister. She was going to move her out of the way. Dante had the same exact idea as Kaida. He started to inch forward.
"Rose, come over here. It'll be O.K." Dante said reassuringly which surprisingly not his best performance at all. Instead she stepped forward towards the water. The Water demon gave out what sounded like a horrible laughing sound. It's victim was coming to it. Dante stepped one huge step forward. Which of course brought a loud growl from the water demon.
"DANTE, STAY STILL!" Nero shouted at him. Dante smirked at Nero then reached over and grabbed Rose's arm. The demon lurched forward and grabbed the two before sinking into the water.
"HEY KID, WATCH OVER THE GIRLS! I'M GOING TO BE LATE FOR LUNCH ALSO!" Dante yelled before he and Rose disappeared under the surface. Shakira gave Nero a stare that said "Why The Hell Didn't You DO ANYTHING?" While Saphira and Kaida started to herd the girls back to their activities since a crowd had formed. Crystal was looking through a book she had just got. The books name was "Demon Dictionary". Nero just stood there looking like a guilty child since he couldn't do anything.
Meanwhile Dante and Rose were inside an underwater cave that was sealed with magic that didn't allow water inside. Rose had sat down in a corner while Dante was tapping everything with his sword. Eventually he gave up and looked at Rose who was acting depressed. He didn't like this at all. Now who the heck would want to be inside an underwater cave with an angsting teen girl? Rose as if reading his thoughts looked up and glared at him. He flinched back at her cold-hearted glare.
"Oh come on, what did I do?" Dante asked her.
"You. YOU! WHY AM I IN HERE WITH YOU!" Rose yelled.
"I can't be THAT bad" Dante said walking over to Rose, Who was still glaring at him. "I mean I tried to stop you. Isn't that enough to gain a girls trust again?" He asked sitting down. Rose sighed and pulled out of her pocket a little vial full of purple liquid. He looked questioningly at the vial.
"Are you trying to poison me?" Dante asked calmly. He was having flashbacks to trying to help Trish while she was beating him up.
"It should turn you back. If you don't trust me then we probably will Die here" Rose said equally calm. They stared at each other for a while before Dante took the vial slowly.
"Where did you get it?" Dante asked very slowly.
"I made it." Rose said moving her hand away from Dante's. "Are you doing to take it?" She asked. Dante shrugged and uncorked the vial before drinking it. In a quick flash of red Rose noticed that Dante looked a LOT older.
"You weren't kidding with the 'I'm too old for you' thing" Rose exclaimed. Dante just grinned at her then stood up.
"I'm just the sexy devil" Dante grinned.
Suddenly Nero just looked very angry. Shakira blinked and poked him.
"You ok?"
"He. Said. It." Nero growled.
"Said what?" Shakira asked curiously.
"he just said 'I'm Just The Sexy Devil'" Nero Said.
"Mmmmmhmmmm… wait what?" Shakira said daydreaming. Saphira started to jab Shakira in the head.
"I think you lost her at Sexy Devil" Saphira noted. Then suddenly in the middle of the lake something flew out at a very fast speed.
"YES NERO! I AM THE SEXY DEVIL!" Dante yelled at the top of his voice. He landed with a loud thud in front of them with Rose in his arms.
"I am not happy at all. And I'm also a bit dizzy" Rose said shaking her head. Everyone noticed that Dante looked way older.
"Hey, Welcome back Old Man" Nero grinned. Dante aimed a kick at Nero. But he jumped back.
"Soooo what happened down there?" Shakira asked grinning.
"Shut Up" Rose said as Dante set her down. Then the water demon rose up from the lake again and in a booming voice yelled.
"DARN YOU SON OF SPARDA!" it yelled. Then Dante shot it in the head. Green liquid spewed out from its head as it fell over dead. Rose just looked quite disgusted as the blue lake quickly turned green.
"I am done. I am just done. I do not want to deal with any more friggen demons!" Rose declared before walking off.
"I think she's mad at you again, Dante" Shakira said.
"I think so." Dante agreed. The Shakira decided the end of this demon battle needed something. Shakira looked at Nero then at everyone one else. Then she kissed Nero before running after Rose.
"HEY! GET BACK HERE. THERE IS STILL SOMETHING FOR YOU TO TELL ME!" Shakira yelled at her. Nero however had to been picked up by Dante and carried off.
Meanwhile Shakira had caught up with Rose.
"Hey what happened between you two that made you so angry?" Shakira asked Rose.
"Nothing actually. Expect the fact that if I didn't have that vial I might've died with Dante. Which would be really weird." Rose said thinking.
"Yea because dying with a Sexy half-devil is weird" Shakira said sarcastically.
"Wow. I feel so much better now" Rose said equally sarcastically. Then Dante walked up.
"Hey you guys talking about me?" he asked. Rose and Shakira looked at Dante.
"Why. Speak of the devil. It's the Sexy Devil" Shakira grinned. "I think he's come for you, Rose" she laughed. Rose blinked and looked at Dante. He just grinned at her.
"Wait….what?" Rose blinked looking at Dante. "Well I'm sorry for being mad at you, anyway"
"Hmm… I think I need an apology better then that" Dante said. Rose laughed and hugged him.
"Better?" She asked. Dante just nodded. Then they said goodbye to Caitlyn and got in the car. Then they drove back to town and said goodbye to Dante and Nero (Saphira dragging Shakira away from Nero protesting.) before returning to their normal lives.
