Chapter 5
"My it's coming down hard." The aged woman smiled looking out her window, she turned around going back to the fire poking it keeping it alive till the pounding on the door made her look back.
"Oh?" She asked wondering who it was as the pounding continued.
"Alright, I'm coming, I'm coming." The aged woman pouted to see whoever it was behind her door had no patience. She opened the door to see the young white hair boy drenched panting carrying the young girl on his back.
"She needs help." He spoke.
The aged woman stepped out of the room where Quinn was resting in carrying out the supplies she had used to stitch up her wound up. She walked down the stairs back into the living room to see Vergil looking at the photos that clung on to the wall.
"No need to worry your friend is going to be just fine, she is very beautiful." She smiled, Vergil stayed quiet. The aged woman had token the two in to her home. She tended to Quinn's wound and gave Vergil dry clothes seeing as they were soaked by the rain, along with a room for him to sleep in. Vergil stepped into the room it was quiet something he liked. He walked to the bed sitting down and lying down resting his body.
"Vergil…" Quinn's voice echoed in his mind.
"Hmph."
Next Morning:
"Nhh…!" Quinn flinched as the elderly woman cleaned her wound with the hot rag.
"I'm sorry I know the wound is still healing but I have to clean it."
"Aah, no your fine." Quinn replied as she kept her fist clenched bearing it. Once the cleaning was done the elderly woman applied an ointment and wrapped it up. Quinn was left in nothing but bra and underwear seeing as Vergil had ripped her dress ruining it.
"I appreciate everything you've done for us ma'am I wish I could repay you but that night we got attacked I lost everything." Quinn frowned as the elderly woman smiled,
"It's fine, don't worry about it, I'm just happy to see the gentleman was able to find this place in time, you were hurt pretty bad." Quinn made a face to the choice of word to describe Vergil.
"Right…" she replied, but truth be told he did save her ass more then once that night along with being nice about it. The thought about it made Quinn's heart skip a beat, which made her nervous was she growing feelings for the cold demon?
"Aah! Found them!" She elderly woman exclaimed happy having Quinn look up.
"My daughters clothes should fit you!" She smiled. Quinn stepped out of the room with the cane wearing the white skirt with purple flowers, wearing the long sleeved white shirt with a brown coat and scarf around her neck.
"Wow! It fits just perfect!"
"Thank you, but I-" Quinn spoke feeling guilty only to be stopped.
"The demons took my son and daughter no one's worn these clothes in such a long time, I really don't mind it, besides you need them," she smiled the two stood in a moment of silence till the knocking made both look back as Vergil stepped in.
"I need to speak with you," Vergil spoke looking at Quinn.
"I'll leave you two, I'll prepare some food." The elderly woman smiled leaving them closing the door behind her.
"How much longer are we going to have to waste time here?" Vergil growled.
"In case you haven't noticed I'm kind of hurt," Quinn reminded.
"We're only putting her in danger by staying here longer then we need." Vergil replied,
"What?" Quinn asked looking at him confused.
"We're being followed." He replied.
"By demons?"
"My guess it's your thug acquaintances."
"Them…?" Quinn asked worried till the knock on the door made both Vergil and Quinn look back.
"The food is almost ready so please come down." She informed from the other side of the door.
Quinn sat at the table smiling sniffing the warm soup in front of her she could feel her mouth was drooling from the sight of the food; Vergil sat across her with a plain expression to see the food in front of him.
"Eat up, you're going to need a lot of strength if you want to get better love." The elderly lady smiled as she sat down.
"This looks delicious! Thank you!" Quinn smiled as she grabbed the spoon dipping it into the soup.
"Hmph." Vergil looked at the food in front of him grabbing the soup.
"Mmm! It's good!" Quinn smiled licking her lips.
"Glad you like it." She smiled at Quinn.
"How is it Vergil?" The elderly smiled looking over at him, Vergil looked at her keeping his cool.
"It's fine…" He replied continuing to eat his soup, Quinn made a face to his reply; Quinn stood in the room she was staying she sat down on the bed putting the cane she used to walk aside. She removed her coat and scarf sitting them on the chair next to the bed; she looked down at her boots she had been thinking about what Vergil had told her.
"Damos… are you really that upset that 6 of your men died that night…?" Quinn thought to herself she laid herself down closing her eyes remembering back when that demon took over that town.
"Gaahaha! You humans are all so weak and stupid! That is why the lower rank demons hit this town so much! You are all cowards! As of today I am your savior! I will guide you stupid cattle! Protect you! But nothing in this world is free!" Damos laughed as the crowd of what was left of townspeople stood scared listening to their so-called "savior".
"Every month that is to come, you are to give me a girl. " He ordered as the townspeople stood in terror.
"Heheh I am not so cruel, I will let you choose which one to sacrifice." He ended leaving them to discuss the cruel request.
"Even though they did what was asked he still terrorized that town, sending his thugs out doing as they please, just because the town was under his care he felt he could do as he pleased with them… " Quinn shot open her eyes irritated thinking about the town she was cursed to live in, but it wasn't just her town suffering there are more out there probably even worse. Quinn rolled over on to her side closing her eyes going to sleep. Quinn lay sleeping, she rolled over to her other side opening her eyes a bit to see a figure by her bed she slowly looked up only to have a hand cover her mouth to keep her from screaming.
"Mmm!" Quinn panicked wide eye awake as Vergil leaned in holding his index finger over his lips.
"They're here." He whispered looking back at the closed door; Quinn frowned worried for the safety of the elderly lady. Quinn grabbed Vergil's hand pulling it down from her mouth.
"Vergil, what about-?" Quinn asked till there was a scream coming from downstairs, Quinn's eyes went wide looking back as she quickly dashed out of the room.
"Wait!" Vergil yelled chasing after her; Quinn quickly ran down the stairs pushing the door open entering the kitchen.
"Are you-!?" Quinn asked only to freeze to see the demons over the elderly woman eating her.
"Aah…" Quinn stood trembling as she gritted her teeth.
"No…" she whimpered as the demons moved their attention to her bearing their teeth stained with the woman's blood as they lunged at her.
"Idiot!" Vergil yelled pulling her back closing the door on the demons.
"What are you thinking!?" He yelled as Quinn looked up at him.
"We need to get out of here before more show up." Vergil spoke taking her hand into his leading the way out.
Quinn panted tired her leg was throbbing with pain she'd had done something stupid by sprinting and adding the none-stop walking was only making it worse.
"Aah…. Wait…" Quinn whimpered trying to keep up with Vergil till she fell to the ground Vergil stopped and looked back at her annoyed.
"Nhh, I-I can't anymore it hurts too much." Quinn panted sitting up right pulling her skirt up to see her wound. Vergil walked back to her he could tell he pushed her too far he could see the blood threw the bandages.
"Damn it," Vergil cursed crouching down in front of her unwrapping the bandages to see the blood trickling from her stitches.
"Nhn, I hope that book is worth all this…" Quinn panted looking at Vergil.
"Likewise," Vergil replied looking up at her,
"Why do you want it so bad? You're already strong…." Quinn spoke Vergil lowered his gaze wrapping her leg back up once finished he stood up walking away from her.
"Rest, I'll keep an eye out." Vergil spoke, as Quinn looked at him the moonlight shiny down on him made him look simply gorgeous, she could feel her heart beating faster by the sight of him. Quinn looked away feeling her cheeks getting warm she made her self-comfortable.
"What's wrong with me? He's a demon!" Quinn thought to herself before drifting off to sleep.
