"Her eyes have completely frozen over..."
"No way man, Lor wouldn't give up!"
"How do you know that...?"
"..."
Dante had started throwing things around the room in complete rage, and in hopelessness, the general feeling of thinking you could've done something to stop the inevitable. But the thing was, Lor was still frozen,
"She should be dead... her body should've disappeared by now." Kari whispers placing a hand on Lor's frozen, bloody shoulder,
"Does that mean she's still alive?!" She shakes her head,
"I dont know honestly..."
"D-Dante... Help me please! I don't want to die!" They both stare at her frozen face in shock... they were staring so hard that they didn't even see the lone tear roll down Lor's frozen cheek.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I was crying in the darkness, in fear, in depression, in anger, in anxiety... all those emotions and many more put into a fountain of tears,
"P-please someone! Anyone! Dante!" I scream, bawling my eyes out even more, "I'm... I'm scared..." whimpering, I look over to my right hand, to my surprise the katana is still tightly in my grasp, "What the...?"
"Lor Valentine... please forgive me..." I hear the familiar voice of Shiva in my ears, but she was no where to be seen, "I was so pent up with rage with the fact that something as inhuman as a vampire could wield my sword Shiva. But you have more than enough human emotions. I could see... even though I showed you the truth... even though I hurt you so badly, you wouldn't give up... and you even asked for a friend." I slowly and painfully pick myself up, sitting on my knees panting and looking up into the darkness tears freely rolling down my bloodied up cheeks,
"Father would never do such a thing... Shiva... you're wrong!" I choke out, pain surging through my body, like I was the demon that was hit by Dante's truck no less than a day ago,
"And I'm not going to prove it. I have decided to join you. If I merge with you, all your wounds will heal and you will live. But it's your decision." I look down at my seeping wounds... thinking...
Should I...?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
There was a loud bang followed by an extreme surge of light coming from the katana. Dante and Kari couldn't help but cover their eyes from the intense light,
"What the holy hell is that?!" Dante yelled, closing his blue orbs tight as not to feel the pain of the light. There was complete silence, not even the deep breathing of shock that should've been coming from Kari.
The light had subsided and Dante slowly opened his eyes to see a different figure standing before him, his eyes blurry and slightly in pain he couldn't make out who it was, but he knew it wasn't the female monk he had met just over twelve hours ago,
"Son of Sparda..." It spoke with a smooth voice, feminine and wise, "What is your relation to Miss Lor Valentine...?" His eyes finally adjusted to see a woman, the same woman that Kari described as Shiva,
"Whoah babe... what the hell? Where is Kari?" He asks, disregarding her question, she just sighs and smirks,
"Kari was one of my clones I stationed around this place before my death Son of Sparda... now answer my question." She demands, now a serious look on her face. He glares, and glares hard at the woman, hating what she had called him, but he answered her nonetheless,
"I'm her friend, nothing more, nothing less. Companions if you may say. And the name's Dante babe. Just because I'm the son of that rickety old man, doesn't mean you have to call me by that." She frowns, closing her eyes,
"Well Dante..." She mocks, "I am Shiva, guardian of the katana 'Shiva' and now ex guardian of this temple..." she finishes, smiling, but not opening her eyes. Dante was confused to say the least,
"Alright... what the hell do you mean... and why did you want to know about my relation with Lor?!" He demands and she just sighs again, waving her hand out to try and calm him a little,
"I've decided she can have the katana. She doesn't want it, so... I want to give her a chance, take the katana, merge with me and live or don't take the katana and die. I need your help to convince this young maiden that taking the katana is a good thing. Will you help me?" He just stood there dumbstruck, staring at Lor's bloodied up frozen form... he was confused. Did Lor want to die...?
Or does she not want help from Shiva?
