Jonathan went into your room later on that night to tell you that he was leaving for London to investigate the medicine that Dio was giving their father.

"Don't get yourself killed Jojo, I heard that London is a dangerous place filled with lots of gangs." You had told him. Jonathan patted your head in response. "Don't worry (YN) I know how to handle a group of thugs, they shouldn't be that much of a challenge for me."

"What if one has a strange hat that has blades come out of it and he throws it at you?" You said voicing the most random thought that came across your head. Jonathan sweat dropped at your questioned and let out a small laugh. "Guess I'll just have to dodge it."

After your brief conversation it was as though you were in a trance. You weren't sure what was the truth anymore. You had just recently accepted your feelings for Dio and now a bombshell like this hit making you question everything again. All the conversions and letters you two shared seemed to be distant memories that could easily be manipulated. It was very likely that Dio could have been playing you the whole time and wasn't the least bit interested in you. Just using you and tossing you around like a cat with a mouse. 

"(YN)?" A soft knock on your door awoke you. You hadn't got much sleep from the night before due to your mind constantly racing with thoughts and ideas on the situation that was currently at hand. "Come in." You groggily answered. You moved to sit up on your bed, letting out a yawn and stretching your arms out. You rubbed your eyes from tiredness as footsteps made their way to your bed. "Well aren't you a sight to see in the morning." 

"Oh I bet I am a sight to see just not a very wonderful one to view." You wittily replied. 

"I wouldn't say that I rather like your disheveled hair at the moment." Dio chuckled.

"Well you my sir are a man of very strange taste."

Dio looked hesitant on what he was about to say next, but eventually let out a breath and came out with it. "I'm sorry about the other day, when it comes to my father I lose my cool." You raised an eyebrow at him. "You don't say?" You paused debating if you should ask the next question. "What did your father do that made you hate him?" 

Dio's eyes turned cold and a stern look replaced the relaxed one he had on his face. "Where would I even begin on that man? He treated my mother like horse shit, abusing and cheating on her. He barely cared when she died and after she did he gabbled all our money away and tried to make me sell my mother's clothes to buy booze." He explained. "It's a good thing a man as wicked as that is dead now." He added and looked at the wall in deep thought until he felt two small arms wrap around him.

"(Y-YN)?" Dio stuttered, breaking his character as he looked at you hugging him.

"I'm sorry you had to go through a childhood like that. No one should have to have their family treat them like that, though it sounds like your mother was nice." You said trying to reassure him.

You looked up to see an actual smile on Dio's face making your heart thump. Sure him smirking was attractive, but nothing would ever look as attractive on him than the little smile he had on right now.

"Yeah she was." He finally replied and then looked at you, bringing a hand to your cheek. "(YN) I want you to know that as long as your by my side I'll never let any harm come towards you nor will I hurt you." Your cheeks started to turn pink at his touch and words, and you finally noticed how little distance was between the two of you. "T-that sounds like a wedding vow." You tried to joke to make it not too noticeable of how embarrassed you were. But you only made it worse. "Looks like you'll have to write yours now as well." Dio stated amused and put a loose strand of your hair behind you ear. Your face was bright red at this point. "D-Didn't you say only an idiot would marry me?" Dio smirked as he replied. "Guess your idiocy rubbed off on me."

After Dio left you mentally face palmed yourself. 'I shouldn't be falling for him, not when he has so much against him what am I thinking?'

The rest of the day went pretty peaceful, you hung out with your father and Mr. Joestar. You didn't see much of Dio after the events that had occurred between you two. Not until later that night, you were going to do your daily round of midnight snacking when someone exited the kitchen making you swiftly hide behind the wall. You peeked out to see Dio walking away with a bottle in his hand. 'What is he doing?'  You pondered. Dio had always scolded you for sneaking things out of the kitchen, so once you saw him doing this you followed him. 'What a hypocrite.'

Dio exited the mansion which made you uneasy. 'Where is he going at this time of night?'  You followed him until he entered a nearby city. At this point you noticed him start to stagger around making you realize what he was drinking. "Dio! I think you've had enough." You called out to him finally catching up to him. It took him a moment to register the person who interrupted him was you. He sneered at you. "What are you doing here woman?" You raised an eyebrow at the major contrast in his attitude towards you compared to this morning. "Obviously I'm here to stop you from drinking to much." You scolded the beefy blonde.

"Oh are you now? I could scold you as well for being out this late." He stated as he went closer to you. The strong smell of alcohol and the look on his face made you take a step back. "You never know what could happen to a lovely lady as yourself here." You continued to back away as he continued to walk towards you until your back touched a wall. 'Oh crap.' 

Dio placed his arms on the wall beside you, caging you in. You let out a nervous laugh. "Haha very funny Dio. Now please release you arms." You said trying to pull his arms from the wall. Dio ignored you protests and instead whispered into your ear, "you know it'll feel so great to finally take you away from Jojo altogether". Your eyes widened at this. 'Okay this is an entirely different Dio than from before...is this what Jonathan had warned me about from the very beginning?'

"I was planning on marrying you from the spot just for that reason, to see Jojo's despair at the image of us at the altar, but it seems as though I went against myself and actually developed feelings for you." Dio nuzzled your neck and then placed a soft kiss on it making your heart flutter. "Now there's no escaping me." He muttered against your neck.

"Dio what if someone sees us like this?" You asked, voice barely audible. "Then they'll know you're mine." He stated and then nibbled the spot on your neck that he kissed. You whimpered slightly as he did so. "Then again I don't want anyone to see you like this." Dio pulled off of you and took your hand in his. "Let's go on a walk."

'Wow his attitude changes so fast when he's drunk.'

You guys continued to walk a bit more through the town until Dio accidentally bumped into someone due to his intoxicated state. "Pay some attention! Look where you're going you dimwitt!" The guy yelled at Dio making you flinch since you weren't sure what exactly could tip Dio over the edge when he was in this state. Luckily Dio continued walking without paying mind to the guy, but the guy just couldn't let it go.

"Hey partner! I got some stains from that brat's prick on my jacket look!" The guy shouted to his friend he was walking with. "Bwahaha! Did you hear that you green-assed brat!" You rolled your eyes at the guy's attempts to get Dio mad.

"Bah! You should bring your mother with you when you go outside!" Dio suddenly turned to the guy. "Dio no!" You tried to stop him, but Dio let go of your hand and slammed the bottle of liquor into the guy's face before you were able to. "That bastard! I'll kill you, you damn brat and your lass!"

"Is that so? How dare a filthy, unhygienic insect of an old geezer insult me and my future wife. So...you said you'll kill us? That's hilarious." Dio jeered at the man. 

"Dio come on we should live." You tugged on his coat trying to get his attention.

"You should listen to your lass hehe." The other man stated.

"Hm this is a good opportunity." Dio paused reaching to get something out of the inside pocket of his coat. 

"The stone mask?" You titled your head in confusion as to why Dio would have that with him. 

"I'l test my plan for killing Jojo!"

"K-killing Jojo..." You backed away from Dio not believing the words he just said. 'H-he wants to kill him...'

"What are you mumbling about!?"  The guy's friend said. Dio dashed for him and attached the mask to his face. The whole scene seemed unearthly as light began to come off of the mask and it dug into the man's skull, Out of no where the light coming from the mask stopped.

"Just as expected he's dead from it. Nobody could survive these tentacles burrowing into their brain. I guess I must have had some strange expectations of the mask because of Jojo's research, but it's just an instrument to torture and murder." You weren't exactly sure what Dio was talking about and why Jonathan decided to do research into the mask, but you knew you had to get the mask away from Dio in order to save Jonathan. 

You were trying to think up a quick plan as Dio grabbed his hat off the ground and started to make his way over to you when the guy with the stone mask rose up. "Dio look out!" The man moved right behind Dio, ready to strangle him.  "It can't be!" Dio exclaimed in disbelief. "He's not dead!" At that moment the mask detached itself from his skull and fell to the floor. You two looked at the man and noticed he had fangs instead of the normal teeth he had earlier. The man lunged towards you ready to attack, but Dio moved in front of you and pulled his dagger out. He cut through the man's hand. You covered your mouth at the sight of the flesh dangling off. The man than punched Dio sending him flying . "Dio!" You were about to run to him, but the man managed to punch you in the gut sending you into a nearby wall. Blood gushed out of your mouth. 'H-how does he have that much strength?'  You groaned as your body slid down the wall. Thankfully he hadn't punctured through your skin, but you were pretty sure you were internally bleeding.

You looked over to Dio to see...his blood being drained? 'Is he a vampire? I thought they were just myths.' You wanted to call out to Dio or help, but neither your voice nor body cooperated. The sun begun to rise and the man let out an ear hurtling scream as the light touched him somehow making his body turn to dust. 

'What just happened?'

Dio had a pleased look on his face despite almost being drained of his blood. He then went over to you and picked you up. "Y-you really did poison Mr. Joestar didn't you?" You huffed the question out due to the pain you were in. Dio let out a smirk. "Don't worry soon both the Joestars will be dead and we'll have the estate. We'll have a grand wedding, maybe we'll keep them around just until then."

For the first time in your life you were scared of the future.
