Chapter 6
The sound of high heeled shoes echoed out when a young woman with black hair pulled up into a tight bun walked down a stone covered hallway that was lit with wall torches, stopping at a tall wooden door as she reached up giving a hard knock to it and carefully shifted in her knee length black dress. "Enter." A deep voice called out from the other side of the door and the young woman took a deep breath while pushing on the door with much ease even though it looked heavy, "Master I am sorry to report but it seems that Ms. Amber has failed in her mission to catch the weapon and now it seems that the weapon is with the son of Sparda." She spoke giving a bow to a man sitting in a throne in the middle of the room as he slowly stood up causing his long black leather looking jacket to sway behind him. "I knew she wouldn't be able to handle him but she has helped us in the long run." He spoke in a low voice carefully placing his hands behind his back, "If I may ask sir, how did she help us?" The woman asked raising her head a bit for her soft pink color eyes to land on the young man.
"Well we now know where the weapon is and all we have to do is lure it out for us to capture." He said with a smirk as he slowly turned facing the young woman and moved a hand threw his silver hair, if someone saw it they thought it might be just glitter in his hair though it became dull as the full moon steadily disappeared behind some clouds. Fixing the white collar shirt that he wore under the brown vest which hung abit low on him, "Once we have the weapon we will be able to open the gate and you will help rule by my side my dear." He said walking to the woman gently taking her chin in his hand and drew close to her face allowing her to be drawn in by his golden color eyes, "Yes sir." She whispered almost as quiet as a mouse earning a smirk on his lips and he walked away with his brown boots stepping softly. "Soon......very soon I will have you and this world will belong to me." He thought slipping his hands into the pockets of the dark blue jeans he wore and with the last few rays of moonlight disappearing causing him to disappear into the shadows of the room.
Sitting in what appeared to be a small diner with a few customers spaced out few and far between, both Angel and Dante sat at a far back table with poor Angel feeling her stomach growl as the smells of wonderful foods floated threw the air around her. "So why are you looking for my shop?" Dante asked with a sigh leaving his lips and leaned back in the booth they were seated at even though his eyes never left the young girl sitting in front of him, "I told you, I was sent by a friend of mine who said you could help keep me safe til he could reach my sister." Angel growled lowly while glaring at him and jumped a bit when a young waitress placed a plate on the table then walked off. On the plate was very large pizza though to Angel it looked more like a whole dinner meal on it, "From the looks of it I would have to say its a special mix but with some ham and .....is that potato's on there as well?" Angel thought with a funny look on her face but her watering mouth told her other wise.
"I thought I told them no olives." Dante muttered pulling a slice from the plate picking the black circles off and took a quick bite as he leaned back in his seat, "So whats in it for me if I agree to baby-sit you then?" He asked already to the crust part of his slice and blinked looking at Angel when a low growl could be heard coming from the young girl. Quickly wrapping her arms around her stomach as she felt her cheeks grow warm when looking up meeting the eye's of the male sitting across from her, watching as he sighed and reached out pushing the plate into the middle as if silently saying she could have a slice. "I take it you are wanting some kind of form of payment then am I right?" Angel asked having taken slice trying not to woof the whole thing down though she raised an eyebrow when it seem Dante was now onto his third slice after having just barely taken his second slice, "That or if you want to pay me another way you can." He spoke with a small smirk playing on his lips making Angel glare at him while she tossed the crust of her slice on to the plate.
"I am waiting til I am married thank you." She spoke proudly quickly snatching other slice that he happen to be reaching for and happily biting into it, "But if your looking for some money then you would have to talk to my sister and that won't be til she comes to get me." Angel said having a nervous chuckle at the end wondering if she was just setting her self up for an early death from her sister by saying that. "Alright then I will be sure to do that, any idea when that will be?" Dante asked taking a quick look around the diner before putting his eyes back at Angel who seem to have stopped eating at the moment, "...I don't know.....I was waiting for her to come home but it seems not to be happening, my friend Ray said he would get in touch with her since he was the last to hear from her." She spoke softly before jumping quickly checking her pockets after stuffing the slice of pizza into her mouth.
"No.....no....noo how could I lose it?!" Angel thought reaching into the pockets of the coat she was wearing carefully shifting her fingers threw and did a double blink when her fingers grazed a cold metal chain, grabbing swiftly pulling it out as she let a breath out threw her nose when she saw it was the necklace she had been given by Ray, Dante closely watched the young girl in front of him and was pretty sure he had heard the name Ray somewhere before, wasn't there a young man who had called him over the phone wanting him to come out in the middle of nowhere to get a little child to her sister in other city? Heaving a sigh when everything seem to click as this young girl in front him was the "little child" he had thought of during the call and ran a hand threw his hair then leaning on the table, "So....Angel was it? May I ask what I am keeping you safe from?" He asked crossing his arms over his chest with his eyes watching her every movement closely and stared at the necklace she pulled from her pocket a minute ago.
"I am not sure.....you see I just found out that all this time my father was a demon and that my mother who was killed in an a accidental death was really an angel." She spoke setting the crust of the pizza down giving her the chance to slip the necklace back around her neck, "My father.....he called me The Angel Hunter.....don't suppose you know what the means?" She asked recalling the words her father had spoken during their last few minutes together but gave her head a small shake to rid them from her mind. Dante remained quiet only tapping his foot slowly looking past Angel to see a figure smirking outside the diner window and quickly standing up, "Stay here kid." He said in a low tone which almost seem to send ice down her spine as Angel turned only catching the tail end of his trench coat slipping out the door. "Kid.....he called me a kid....again?!" Angel growled gripping her hands into tight fists but stopped when the kind waitress walked up to the table placing a very big strawberry sundae and she gave Angel a small wink from her coco brown color eyes.
Watching the waitress walk away to tend to other tables and drawing her eyes back to the sundae allowing a small smirk to dance its way onto her lips, "Well if I am such a kid then......I'll just have to prove that I am more than that." She whispered softly while her hands reached out grabbing the sundae and started putting spoonful after spoonful into her mouth. "Wow this is really good." She said as she popped a strawberry into her mouth unaware of the approaching shadow coming up behind her as she kept enjoying the wonderful tasting sundae, "You care to explain to me why you are eating my sundae?" A low voice asked near her ear sending goose bumps over her skin and she slowly turned her head coming face to face with Dante who wore a small glare on his.
"Well um you see....I...I..." Angel stuttered feeling a cold sweat dripping down the back of her head but quickly took noticed that he was getting closer and she quickly moved back her self, "Crap is he that mad? Maybe I shouldn't have touched it." Angel thought as a small gasp slipped threw her lips when her back hit the wall behind her. Throwing her eyes back in front of her taking in that he was now sitting right next to her and was still coming closer, what was she supposed to do now? She had become like prey trapped in a corner with a hungry wolf guarding the only way out. Tensing up when he reached up grabbing her chin with his gloved hand and Angel swore she felt like a charge run threw her body from his touch, "H-Hey wha-t-t are you t-t-hink-ing?" She stuttered moving her right hand to smack him or at least push him back though in one fell swoop he easily caught her hand. "Shit! What does he wan-"Angel thought with panic rising in her chest but in one split second her head was turned and something very wet moved its way up her right cheek, sitting there staring into space as it slowly dawn on her that he just licked her and the panic she once felt was now replaced with pure rage.
"What the hell was that for?! Why did you just lick me?!" Angel yelled watching him pull back taking the spoon from her caught hand which she used to touch her cheek, upon pulling her fingers back allowed her to see a bit of white fluffy sticky material on her finger tips and glancing a look to see Dante putting a spoonful of the sundae in his mouth helped put two and two together. Feeling her whole face grow hot with him smirking still having the spoon in his mouth and grabbed a napkin to wipe the rest of her face just in case there was any left, casting her eyes down now feeling silly but at the same time it felt as if her heart was going to beat right out of her chest. Why was she feeling like this? All he did was lick her but maybe it was the fact of how close he had been to her lips, yeah sure he wasn't kissing her but why did he go that far as if he wasn't going to do it?
"Let's go." He spoke near her thus earning a jump from her and looking to see that he had finished the sundae off already, throwing her eyes around seeing he was already making his way out of the diner and Angel quickly grabbed her stuff running to catch up. Standing on the steps watching him walk towards a red car which seem model after a 1964 Volkswagen convertible, then again she could be way off, jumping off the top step then making a quick jog to the car and shivered a little feeling a small breeze blow by her. Carefully climbing into the car once her side was unlocked and made sure to put her seat belt on not sure how Dante drove but rather be safe than sorry, letting her mind wonder as she felt the car roar to life then start moving away from the diner unaware of the bloody scene just sitting around the side of the building of the diner wall. "Wonder what his shop looks like?" Angel thought crossing her arms looking up at the color changing sky from the sun rising into the sky meaning the start of the day for most people but for her this was whole new meaning to her new way of life.
