Warning: Cussing for now

Disclaimer: I own no one but me, Tori, and the plot.

(Roni's POV)

Everything is just falling apart. I gave a heartless sex hound my heart and I've lost my best friend. I'm starting to regret coming here. But then again it wasn't like we had a choice to. Being a nephilim wasn't as awesome as I dreamed it would be.

Every mission is one step closer into defeating Mundus. The one mission I regret going on was capturing Lilith. She didn't have to die and neither did the baby even though Mundus was the father. Plus I wouldn't be in the situation that I'm in right now. Life for me just went downhill.

But here I am heading to another meeting that Vergil is holding to let us know the final plan to take Mundus down. Kat met me half way there and escorted me there.

'Everything may seem bad now but after this is over I have a feeling you and Tori will be talking again.' Kat says.

'I hope so. Lets just hope Vergil isn't telling her otherwise.' I reply.

'I doubt that. I'm sure he is giving you the same advice as I am right now.'

'I'm praying for a miracle.'

We both enter the conference room catching a glimpse of Dante, Tori, and Vergil discussing away. Vergil stops immediately and smiles at both of us.

'Ah, Kat and Roni, we were just going over the plan.' He says.

'I hate you' I thought.

'Someone's a grouch today.' Dante teases.

'Awe, poor Roni.' Tori added.

My blood began to boil and we weren't even here five minutes.

'Just get on with it.'

Vergil smirks, 'As I was saying earlier, we need to open the portal to limbo and have Dante go through Mundus's buildings and get through the vault that is located at the core of the Furnace of Souls.'

'What's that?' Dante asks.

'It's where trapped souls remain and wait for someone else's soul to keep.' Vergil says.

'Well shit. We're going to die before we even make it.' I say.

'I won't because Vergil will protect me.' Tori says.

'Whatever.' I mutter.

'Don't be mad because Dante doesn't care about you that much. Once this is over he'll just leave you for dead.' Tori says, smirking.

'Who says I don't care? I marked her.'

Dante says.

'Do you even know what that means?' Vergil asks.

'Yeah, only I can fuck her and she's basically stuck with me.'

'But she didn't mark you so you could still keep fucking other girls.' Tori laughs.

'Doesn't mean I want to anymore.'

Vergil and Tori looked at him with surprise along with me. Kat just smiled and patted my back.

'See I told you I was right.' Kat says to me.

Vergil rolled his eyes, 'Back to the plan, this mission will be a long one and a very high risk one. So Dante and Roni will go through with it. Tori and I will operate the systems and Kat knows what to do. But she can only help you until you reach the Furnace of Souls.'

'And this shit will take place mañana.'

Tori says.

'Well I guess I'll see you all tomorrow.'

I leave the office and head back into my room. I didn't realize Dante followed until I felt hand on my waist right when I was at my door.

'Yes, Dante?'

'What's going on between you and Tori?'

'Nothing.'

He turns me around to face him.

'No there is. I can feel the tension between you and her and Vergil.'

'I know he's your brother but I don't like him. I hate the control he has on Tori. There's something off about him. I never realized it until what happened with Lilith and the baby.'

'I can understand you're still mad and I'm still shocked but Vergil means well. It is what is, babe.'

'Whatever, just leave me alone.'

I open my door and attempt to close it on him but he blocked it.

'You've been alone too long. Let me help you through this.'

Tears began to form in my eyes,

'Why me, Dante?'

I sat on the bed with my head in my hands. He joins and embraces me tightly. What he said next was unbelievable.

'I care about you.'

It caused me to look up at him in shock. His blue eyes looked straight into my brown ones. Who would have thought I would be here right now with him looking at me with such deep passion? I certainly didn't but here I am.

'I didn't think you did. I thought you marked me on accident.'

'No it wasn't. I really care about you and from the first time I saw you I felt something I've never felt with any other woman I slept with.'

'I hate to admit it but I fell in love at first sight with you. I kept denying you which made me want you even more. As much I as fought it, I couldn't deny my feelings.'

'You don't have to anymore. As a matter a fact, I want you to mark me after everything is over.'

My heart stopped for a couple seconds. I couldn't believe what he was saying at first. But from the look from his eyes, he spoke the truth. So maybe he was right after all. It is what is and all we can do now is move on. If moving on meant marking him as mine then I'm sure as hell gonna do it.
