Chapter 4

"You damn fool! What have you done!?" the woman yelled with rage.

"I refuse to be your puppet!" the man replied; Quinn shot her eyes open waking up from her dream her head resting on her arms on the table were she had spent the night.

"They were always fighting…" Quinn thought to herself sitting up right in the chair sighing remembering what she could of her parents. The door opened as Vergil walked in looking over at her, he was wearing the annoyed expression again,

"About time you woke up." He spoke as Quinn made a face to his comment.

Quinn followed the dirt path in front of her they were about 4 days away from her home now, and Quinn had been thinking up ways of keeping that book out of Vergil's hands seeing as no good would come of it. Sure she could mislead him but that would cost her, her life and she wasn't ready to die, not yet not till every demon was put back where they had come from.

"What if I use it…?" Quinn thought to herself.

"No doubt there is some chant I could use to hold Vergil off while I made off with the book, right? Father would always be practicing them… I remember it." Quinn came to a stop Vergil looked at her wondering why she had stopped.

"The town I use to live in most likely being run by demons… Vergil would be distracted with them giving me the chance-"

"What's wrong?" Vergil asked as Quinn looked back at him.

"N-nothing, just taking a break." She lied.

"We don't have time for that, keep going." He ordered as Quinn turned her head back smirking.

"Fine." The two had covered a lot of ground that day but the sun was starting to set leaving the sky a blended color of orange and red. Quinn pushed the branches of tress aside remembering a path.

"Where are you leading us?! The path we were following was more precise then wherever you're leading now." Vergil growled.

"You ordered me to guide you right? So shut up and just follow me." Quinn replied.

"It's getting late and I know for a fact these woods attract demons," Quinn explained as Vergil followed her.

"I can take them." Vergil replied.

"I'm sure you can." Quinn came to a stop smiling to see the old cabin was still there.

"Yes," She made her way to the old cabin peeking in threw the windows it was hard to see threw seeing as dusted had collected on the other side. She jogged to the door turning the knob, locked she made a face patting herself to find something to lock pick, Vergil walked passed her kicking the door down Quinn looked over at him wide eye.

"What did you do!?" Quinn growled.

"I opened it."

"Are you stupid! Now they have a way in!" Quinn growled as Vergil made a face,

"I'll protect you." He replied Quinn blushed to hear him say that but quickly declined.

"No I don't want it!" She growled.

"Just get in." Vergil replied stepping into the old place, Quinn picked up the door having a hard time seeing as it was made out of logs.

"Ah, damn this is heavy." She growled trying to close the opening. Quinn gasped as the door came back at her Vergil shot both his hands out holding it up caging Quinn in the middle while he stood behind her. Quinn blushed to feel him so close he pushed the door back closing the hole. Quinn brushed her hair back behind her ear as she began to search the cabin; there was a fireplace inside Quinn walked to it looking around for logs to start a fire. Vergil walked to the window looking out the sky was getting dark, he looked back out of the corner of his eye to see Quinn had found the matches and was now working on the fire.

"How did you know you this cabin was here?" Vergil asked keeping his back turned Quinn looked up at him.

"They decided to built it as a precaution, we're not far from a town. People would go out but never make it back before sunset, and so demons or thugs killed them. They built this cabin for anyone traveling." Quinn explained as she held her hands in front of the fire.

"Supposedly it's been blessed or something like that, so demons can't come in." Quinn added rubbing her arms trying to get warm.

"Hmph." Quinn sat on the floor leaning against the wall asleep her body still shivering from the cold they had run out of logs to burn and so the fire had died out; Vergil sat on the floor across Quinn watching her.

"They are so frail." Vergil thought to himself till he shot his head to the window; he could feel demons were approaching the cabin they had token refuge in. Vergil got up walking to the window looking out to indeed see the demons out surrounding the place.

"Tsk…" He stood watching as the demons all roared sprinting full speed at the cabin Vergil looked back at Quinn.

"WAKE UP!" He yelled Quinn jumped waking up.

"Wha?" She asked looking around confused,

"We need to leave!" He yelled, as the wall of the cabin was taken out leaving an opening for the demons.

"Ah! But-!"

"This place is a trap!" Vergil growled as he stood in front of her his hand on the hilt of his sword as the demons stumbled in tripping over each other laughing.

"It's supposed to be blessed!"

"All it takes is to convince a stupid human that'll he get immortal life if he does as told by demons." The female demon explained walking in.

"We've been using this old place as a trap luring in idiots like you for years now." She laughed.

"Err… fuck." Quinn growled pissed to have fallen for the trap.

"Unfortunately, we're not on the menu tonight." Vergil replied vanishing appearing in the middle of the demons quickly taking out the low rank demons,

"Bastard!" the girl demon cursed stepping back to see these weren't her typical humans meaning she would need her toughest demon.

"Don't think I came unprepared!" She smiled as she snapped her fingers making the ground shake.

"Great, now what?!" Quinn growled trying to keep her balance while leaning against the wall as the hand spurted from under the floor the cabin now beginning to fall apart, the ceiling coming down with chunks and pieces.

"Aah!" Quinn screamed trying her best to avoid getting hit till there was a loud screech shattering the windows the glass flew everywhere in the room, Quinn fell to her knees cursing holding her leg looking down to see the shard of glass sticking out of her right thigh, her white dress stained with her blood from the wound.

"Argh…. Fuck!" she cursed more agitated pressing down trying to bear the pain in her thigh.

"Hahah! Let's see if your little sword will do any harm to the beast!" the woman laughed Vergil looked back seeing Quinn on the floor.

"Troublesome." He growled as he quickly sprinted to her, Quinn gasped looking up to see the large hand coming down her way.

"Tsk!" Quinn shut her eyes waiting for deaths embrace when she felt nothing she opened her eyes to see Vergil carrying her in his arms. They were now outside the cabin that was falling apart as the demon that was summoned busted out roaring pushing the ruble off of him sending it everywhere.

"Vergil… my leg." Quinn whimpered clenching on to his vest.

"I noticed, but I have to take these demons out before I can do anything." He explained keeping his eyes on the beast in front of him.

"Rip them apart." The female demon spoke as the beast shot his red eyes at Vergil and Quinn slowly walking to them, Vergil set Quinn down carefully.

"Vergil..." Quinn called out worry in her voice her hands his still holding on to his shoulders Vergil smirked amused by the change in heart.

"Hmph, are you worried for me?" He asked looking at her making Quinn frown.

"Nhh… ah in your dreams… "Quinn replied letting him go as Vergil stood up turning to face his opponent. Both stood across each other Vergil quickly slid his foot back making the first move appearing in the air quickly let out slashes attacking the demons face making it stumble back swinging its arm. Vergil dodged as he then quickly went for its legs he moved quick as the slashes appeared on the demons leg making it fall to its knee.

"What!?" the female demon asked to see her beast losing.

"It's over." Vergil spoke standing on its head sliding his blade away as the demon fell to pieces Vergil jumped down landing on the ground looking at last demon,

"Ugh… you'll regret this." She warned leaving as a rain drop fell then more as it began to pour down Vergil made a face to see his spiked slicked hair was now down covering his eyes he looked back to see Quinn lying down, Vergil walked to her looking down at her she was still alive he could hear her breathing but barely. He crouched down looking at the glass sticking out of her thing he grabbed it making her flinch in pain as he placed his other hand on her thigh and quickly pulled it out of her making her cry out in pain as more blood spilled out from the wound. Vergil grabbed the end of her dress ripping it making her shorter on her but using the fabric as he tied it around the wound trying to stop the bleeding while he made his next move.
