Chapter 5
When we reached the roof Vergil hooked the chains to a statue and put some duct tape over my mouth. I glared at him and tried to scream but the tape muffled my words.“Don’t worry, Princess. It’ll be over soon.”
At his words I started crying again. I knew what he meant. He was going to kill Dante to gain power that he didn’t need. His eyes softened slightly and he kissed my tears away. I tried to knee him in the balls but he sidestepped, laughing as he did. He peeled back the tape gently.
“Vergil please. Don’t do this. We can help you.” I pleaded.
“Sh. I need you to promise me something, Princess. Promise me, if I lose, you won’t tell anyone about my child. Especially not Dante.”
“But don’t you want the child protected?”
“It will be safe. I’ve made sure of it. If Dante brings it to people’s attention it won’t be safe.”
“But…”
“Promise me!”
“Okay. I promise.”
I tried to convince him to stop again but he put the tape over my mouth again. Just then Dante walked up the stairs. They exchanged some stupid crap about family reunions and then Dante glanced at me.
“Did you hurt her?” He growled at Vergil.
“Of course not. In fact, we had a very fun time.” Vergil smirked.
“Then why is she chained up?”
“Aw what she never let you chain her up? How sad for you.”
“I never had to chain her to get her to have fun with me.” Dante smirked.
Vergil tensed and I realised he was about to attack. I tried to warn Dante but the tape muffled all sound. They fought. When Dante was impaled twice I screamed behind my gag. I tried to pull my hands out of the chains, cutting my wrists in the process, but they wouldn’t budge. I had tears streaming down my face mingling with the rain. When Dante stood back up I was so relieved but then for the first time ever he went into devil form. I was so scared he’d stay that way forever but he turned back almost immediately. My relieve was short lived however as he collapsed to the ground. I struggled to get free so hard for so long I became exhausted and passed out.
I don’t know how long I was out but when I came round I was free and wrapped in Dante’s arms. I sat bolt upright and started running my hands over his chest and stomach. When I was reassured he was uninjured I sat back. He traced his fingers over the cuts on my wrists, making me hiss in pain. He raised my hands and traced light kisses over the wounds.
“You got these for me?” He asked.
“I thought you were dead.” I burst into tears.
“I’m okay, Babe, I’m okay.”
He rubs my tears away with a gentle touch of both thumbs.
“You need to go back down through the tower, Babe. I’ll meet you at the bottom.”
“What way are you going?”
“I’m gonna take a short cut.”
By the time I found Dante again he was just finishing his fight with Lady. I chose to stay with her. I knew I was no match for Arkham and I’d only distract Dante if I tried to fight too.“Be careful, Dante.” I whispered, before he went through the door.
“I’ll be fine, Babe. See you at the after party.” He smirked, the door closed behind him.
I sat next to Lady and helped her re-bandage her leg. She dozed off for a while but I was too worried so I started pacing. When Vergil stepped into the hall I just stood there and stared at him. I followed him through the door.
“Vergil, wait!” I called.
“What do you want, Princess?” He asked, looking at me over his shoulder.
“What are you going to do?”
“Kill Arkham, claim my father’s power and Dante will decide what I’ll do to him.”
“Please stop this, Vergil. Work with Dante to take out Arkham.”
“I will. I promise.” He said, walking away.
When Dante found me and told me what Vergil had done, I couldn’t believe it. We went back to mine that night as the shop was destroyed. We laid in bed curled round each other all night. I cried myself to sleep and only woke once, hearing Dante crying. I cuddled up to him and just held him till we fell back to sleep.
Over the next few months it was tough. We both mourned Vergil in our own way. Dante by drinking and sleeping with strippers me by crying and drinking. Dante borrowed money from Lady (who was a freaking heiress!) and rebuilt the shop. He called it Devil May Cry. When I asked why he’d chosen the name he just said it was something Lady said to him. I love the name, always have. The only problem with borrowing the money from her was that it meant she stopped by with jobs that she always expected us to do but never paid us for.
Things rolled along for a while until one night Trish came crashing through the shop front. I didn’t trust her but Dante was willing to do anything she said because she looked so much like Eva. I decided to tag along just to stop the moron getting himself killed.
My first real memory of the place was Phantom, the giant fire spider demon. That thing scared the crap out of me but on the plus side after helping to kill him I wasn’t scared of house spiders anymore.
But the worst thing that happened, happened in that bedroom with the mirror. Dante managed to walk through it but I got trapped. I felt someone behind me. I turned round and there was a demon standing there.
“Dante said there was a demon that actually had honour here.” I said to it.
It walked towards me menacingly.
“Not very honourable picking on the only human, though.” I said, pulling my swords.
He just kept walking up to me. He reached a hand to my head and I tensed waiting for him to attack. He didn’t though. He stroked his fingers through my hair in a way that no one had since…
“Vergil?”
Yes. I heard in my head.
“But how?”
I tried to fight Mundus when I jumped into the underworld. I lost and now must serve him.
“So, you’re gonna try to kill Dante again?”
No. I don’t want to be Mundus’ slave anymore. I’m going to lose to my little brother and give him my amulet.
“No! Please Vergil. We can help you.”
I don’t want to be helped. I only came to say I love you, Princess. Thoughts of you are the only thing that has kept me going so long but now it’s Goodbye. I release you from your promise. Tell Dante about my child.
“Vergil, wait, please!” I said, crying.
Goodbye, Princess.
He wiped my tears away and vanished.
A while later Dante broke down the door to the room.
“Dante! Don’t fight Nelo Angelo! He’s V… You already killed him, didn’t you?”
He didn’t answer me but I saw the look in his eyes that confirmed Vergil was dead. For good this time.
“Go back to the boat, Babe. I need to know you’re safe while I face off against Mundus.”
“But I want to help you. I need to watch your back for you.”
“No! Take the boat back to the mainland. I’ll meet you there after I kill Mundus. Protecting you will only be distracting.”
“Okay. But promise me you’ll come back. Promise!”
“I’ll be fine.” He said, leaving me behind.
“That wasn’t a promise.” I whisper.
As it turned out though, it was a good thing I took the boat. There would’ve been no way Dante could’ve gotten himself, Trish and me out of there alive.
