'Tori, it is time to wake up. We have a mission to do.' Vergil's voice says.

My eyes immediately opened after he said that.

'What time is it?' I ask him.

'Twelve in the afternoon.'

'Sorry I didn't mean to sleep late.'

'It's quite alright, dear. Now get dressed and meet me at the entrance in ten minutes.'

'He just called me dear. How sweet of him.'I thought.

I scrambled for my clothes and brushed my teeth after he left. A tinge of nervousness made its way into my stomach as reality finally settled in. I wasn't home, someone is out to kill me for unknown reasons, and Vergil is real. I'd always fantasize about him being real but seeing him face to face is a totally different story.

After feeling satisfied with my appearance, I rushed toward the entrance of the building. Vergil, Dante, Kat, and Roni were waiting patiently. As soon as I made my appearance,I swear Vergil had a ghost of a smirk on his face.

'Ah, nice of you to join us, Tori.' Vergil's says.

'You ready for your first lesson in demon slaying?' Dante asks with a smirk plastered on his face.

I swallowed hard then looked at Roni. She offered me her hand, which I immediately took. Vergil lead us to the vehicle and took off Virility Factory. Vergil explained that the key ingredient was succubus juice, which literally numbed people's minds basically making them zombies. Just without eating each other's flesh.

Dante's job was to deal with the succubus while Roni and I fend off demons. He will monitor us and have Kat give us some guidance throughout the mission. My heart began to race and I began to shake.

'Tori, are you okay?' Kat asked.

Vergil turned his attention to me then placed his hand on mine, 'You're shaking.'

'She might be having an anxiety attack. Just breathe, Tori. I'll do my best to protect you.' Roni says.

My body began to settle down after a few minutes. Vergil had concern written all over his features. He then turned to Roni and sighed. As if Roni understood him, she glanced at me then gave a sad smile.

'Vergil, let her stay out of this one.' She says.

My eyes widened in surprise along with Kat and the twins. They stayed silent to let Roni finish what she has to say.

'I know this is a lot to take in, Tori. But since I'm the eldest of us two,I'll sacrifice my life for you. If I survive, I can help you what we are preparing to go to war with.'

'Babe, that's insane. You don't even know what you're up against.' Dante says.

'She doesn't either. The last thing I want her to have is a panic attack in the middle of battle.'

After a moment of thinking, Vergil reluctantly agreed. Minutes later, we arrived at the factory. Kat opened the portal then Roni and Dante were in limbo. I couldn't help but feel nervous for her. I sighed and sat on the ground waiting impatiently.

'She did the right thing.' Vergil says.

'She's always been crazy but I never thought she would do anything like this.' I say, making circles on the pavement.

'You need to calm down. Panicking during a situation like this will get you killed.'

He then takes my hand in his and gave me a piercing gaze with compassion clearly visible, which I never thought I would ever see from him.

'I would not want someone as valuable as you to get killed especially in this crucial time.'

I shook my head no then gave a small smile. My cheeks were now a bright shade of pink. My heart was pounding in my chest. This man has no idea about how he makes me feel.

About an hour later, Kat returned along with Roni and Dante. They were covered in demon blood. I didn't care though, I ran to her to give her a bear hug. She embraced me tight then followed Vergil back to the vehicle.

I sat between Vergil and Kat this time. That's when Vergil nonchalantly put his hand on mine.I glanced at him to see a hint of a smirk on his face as he drove us back to headquarters.
