Chapter Five: Mixed Emotions

Sage One: Frozen Thunder -Narrated by Vergil-
It was around 2am ,I looked over to Ayana and noticed that she had finally fallen asleep. It was still storming ,the rain was falling heavily ,the wind was howling louder ;I'm surprised she didn't wake up from that. I eased off of the couch and walked over to the bed where ,Ayana was asleep. She was tossing and turning quite a bit ,she must be having a nightmare. I would have woken her up but ,I knew it would take forever to get her to fall asleep again ;she would just have to face her nightmare's for now. I on the other hand couldn't sleep ,I had this overwhelming feeling of someone watching me ,of course since Mundus had his tracker's out looking for me. Since it was raining they probably couldn't find my scent ,that was the only thing keeping me from finding the man who attacked ,Ayana.
I decided I should go outside and clear my mind ,I grabbed Pruina Galciem ,just in case something were to happen and I headed outside as quietly as possible not want to wake the girl up.
It was still raining rather harshly and I was soaked in a matter of moment's. Just as I had thought ,the rain washed away any scent's ,even my brother's scent was nearly evaporated. Which remind's me ,why didn't he just bust in when he was here? Could it be because of Ayana? Did he maybe think he was protecting her? It didn't matter ,what I was really focused on was that women ,the blonde girl with Dante ,she looked so much like Mother. She was the reason I had failed and became Mundus's slave. I would never forgive her for that.

The rain had finally let down a bit ,I could finally smell something more then the rain ;I could smell a flower fragrance ,it was some kind of perfume. The scent was close but ,I couldn't see anyone ,why would anybody be here anyways? I live in part of Capulet city that was still being impacted by strange occurence's left by Temen-Ni-Gru's presence ;no one wanted to live anywhere near her now. I tightened my grip on Glaciem ,something wasn't right. "Vergil ,it's been a long time." A female's voice echoed. It was the voice of that woman ,the woman who caused me to bare so many year's of torment. I turned to face the house and I saw her sitting on the peak of the roof. "You..." I growled as I gripped the hilt of Glaciem. She chuckled under her breath ,knowing that she had angered me. "So you're the eldest son of Sparda ,I never really got the time to look at you. You two may be twin's but ,I can so many difference's between you." She lingered on. I pushed the blade up slightly with my thumb as she spoke ,she then stoop and jumped down onto the deck a few feet in front of me. The rage building up inside me caused my hand to shake a bit ,I wondered why I had hesitated for so long ,it should be easy to kill her. "Giving me the cold shoulder ,huh?" She asked with an irritated tone to her voice. "Tch. And I'm guessing you don't understand why? Well then, rather then explaining myself to someone like you ,I think I'll just kill you." I scoffed ,warning her. "Vergil ,I didn't come her to-" She stepped forward as she spoke. I interrupted her by swinging Glaciem's blade toward's her ,she jumped over the blade ,landing on the roof once more. "Ah ,Well I guess you both are brother's. You certainly act the same." She laughed ,revealing twin pistol's that looked like the one's Dante carried. "If you want to play rough ,then I'll get rough." She continued. I didn't want to take the chance of this replica hurting Ayana ,I knew she was a slave of Mundus and he probably scent her here. But ,why would Dante hang around the like's of her? She aimed the black gun at me as a grin stretched across her face ,lightning surrounded her arm and the pistol ,I couldn't let her fire a shot that power this close so I leaped onto the roof swing my sword horizontally ,forcing her to use her to back flip away from the blade. As she regained her ground ,a few strand's of blonde hair fell to the ground. Her face immediately grew angry. "You little bastard! Do you realize how much of Dante's money it take's to style this?" She yelled in rage. "Tch ,he's friend's with you? Well ,Dante always has been a sucker for woman no matter how grotesque they appear." I growled in response. The frown she had grew back into a smirk ,she rose her hand and fired lightning in every direction causing me to take quite a wound due to my current state. But ,she made a mistake ,her lightning didn't stop me from moving it just stopped me from being able to escape her attack unharmed ,the fact is that I was now in front of her unsheathing my blade and striking downward's ,cutting deep into her shoulder resulting in her blood spilling around us.
Her dominant look turned to fear and sadness ,it was better for her to be afraid of me. She clenched her shoulder in pain and backed up a few step's. She looked up at me from her pathetic state ,I was preparing to end her but ,this replica spoke. "V-Vergil...M-my son..." Her voice even sounded like ,mothers. I know it isn't her she's done this to me once before. I can't possibly fall for this again! But ,I was standing frozen ,the sword in my hand was shaking. I couldn't let myself fall victim to this woman again ,I had to regain myself ,I strengthened the grip on my weapon. " You MAY look like her but ,YOU ARE NOT -" I hissed as she interrupted me. "The same reply as Dante ,huh?" She smirked again and kicked me in my stomach using her heel's to her full advantage as she stood back up nearly recovered ,examining her finger nail's. "Yes ,that was a cruel move ,I know. But ,your the one who refused to listen." She explained. I was preparing to strike her again but ,since was nearly healed by now she acted quicker then I did and struck me with her lightning. I couldn't keep up with her ,because I was weak ,I need to regain my power ,I needed to become stronger. "Vergil ,why don't you come by Devil May Cry sometime ,I'm sure Dante would love to see you. And with Mundus being active again ,I know you'll both meet up eventually ,why not make it easier?" She giggles as she fled into the fog of the storm.

She was gone ,I knew she was headed to Dante's place since I could see it from here but ,I was in no shape to chase after her tonight. I resheathed my sword and dropped back down to the deck and walked inside. I set Glaciem next to the door and locked it making sure that I would notice if someone tried to enter. I looked over at Ayana seeing her tossing and turning ,her nightmare's must be getting worse.
I walked into the bathroom and threw my shirt near the sink ,I was soaked so I may as well get a shower in ,maybe I could finally get the time to trim my hair ,I hated having it this long. I took a quick shower and immediately got redressed in dry clothes in case Ayana were to wake up. I then grabbed a pair of scissors from the counter top and began to trim my hair restyling it back into the style I used to keep it in. Afterwards I headed back to the main room and slipped into a clean shirt and threw my jacket over it. Ayana has stopped moving now ,I guess you could say I was worried because I walked over to check on her ,she suddenly jumped up and started to frantically look around the room. I figured she was looking for me so I placed my hand on her shoulder letting her know I was right behind her. She turned around quickly ,she had tears running down her face. She instantly clung to me ,I could tell something was wrong with her so despite my natural loner instinct's I slowly wrapped my arm's around her pulling her close to me. "A-are you going to be alright?" I asked ,trying to hide the slight embarrassment in my voice. "I-I really don't know...I-I'm so afraid right now." She responded in an uneasy and shaky tone. I shifted my weight ,"I can sit next to you ,till you fall back to sleep." I offered trying to calm her a bit.
She agreed ,I admit I was a bit annoyed by the fact of her getting scared so easily but ,in a way I liked being close to her. Sometime's I even find myself thinking that I 'like' her. But ,that's ridiculous.

Saga Two: To Thaw a frozen heart. -Narrated by Ayana(Oc)-[//]
Since Vergil was by my side the rest of the night flew by smoothly , I woke up with the sun shining through the crack in the curtain directly over my eye's. There was some kind of light music playing ,as I listened it I noticed that it had been the same music as my dream. Now I was wondering if I was really awake. I sat up a tried to identify where the music was coming from ,it was defiantly being played live ;it sounded clearer then a recording.
I slid out of bed and landed on my feet ,Vergil wasn't laying on the sofa but ,I realized why when I looked at the clock ,It read: 11:25am ;It was nearly noon. Vergil's jacket and sword were still by the door so I knew he had to be in the house. I walked toward's the kitchen and opened the door ,I hadn't really been in here before so I didn't know what to expect. This room was just as clean as his bathroom ,if not cleaner. There was another door on my left so I walked over and proceeded through it. This lead me to a hallway that was nearly bare ,it was kind of eerie. It felt like I was walking through a dungeon in a horror movie. There were two door's ,the first lead to outside ,I could tell by the breeze that was coming from under the door and the second was were the music was coming from. I slowly walked down to the second a quietly opened the door. This room was lined with bookselves that were completely full ;almost like he had robbed a library. At the end of the room I saw Vergil leaning against a window seat ,playing the violin. I wonder where he had learned that melody ,since it was the exact one that tormented me in my nightmare last night. Vergil seemed lost in the music he was playing ,his eye's were closed and I even walked up to him without him missing a note.
I sat next to him listening to him play for awhile ,eventually he stopped and glanced over at me. "Is something wrong?" Vergil questioned ,as he set the violin and bow down. "No ,I'm alright. I was just wondering where you were." I replied shyly. "You are so naive. You don't even realize the danger you are in here do you?" He snapped at me. "Nevermind it doesn't matter. You're in danger both near me and away." He explained. He looked away from me after that but I was persistent ,I wanted his attention and I wasn't going to stop until I got it. "Vergil ,do you know what I dreamed of last night? It was of you , you were-" He interrupted. "I don't care ,Ayana. I don't want to care. That isn't who I am." he shot back ,nearly yelling. "The way you look at me ,those eye's of your's ,they sicken me. You recognize me but ,you don't know who I am do you? " He shouted.
Did I really know him from somewhere? He wouldn't have made that remark if I didn't but ,all I could remember was his gaze. Maybe his gaze was all I ever saw ,he could have kept his face hidden from me. I can't remember anyone like that ,no one I knew where a mask or a cloak. "Vergil..." I sighed. He looked at me his eye's were full of rage but ,I could see he was hiding other emotion's among his anger. Sadness , fear ,pain ,regret and a sense of loose all lingered within his cold stare. " I can't take this..." Vergil muttered as he got up and began to walk toward' the door. I also got up and went after him grabbing his hand as he reached for the doorknob. "Let me be ,Ayana." He whispered ,pulling himself away from me and walking through the door. "Vergil...I'm sorry I don't remember who you were but ,I do remember how I feel about you. I lo-" Vergil interrupted me. "That's quite enough. I'm leaving and I do not want you to follow any longer." He growled ,warning me to stay away. "Y-you're going to come back aren't you?" I asked as my eye's began to water and my voice started to break. Vergil looked back at me with a sincere smile on his face ;this is the first time I've actually seen him smiled without faking it. "I'll be back." Where his final word's as I watched him walk away.

I eventually made it back out to the main room ,I have to admit I felt broken. It was almost the same feeling I felt when I was abandoned by my mother. Vergil meant so much to me ,though I couldn't place him in my past. I blocked my past out when- ...It was when I felt alone again. I leaned against the bed which is probably where I would spend most of my time waiting for him to come back. I glanced over at my left hand ,the cloth I kept over my blue-violet tanzanite gem bound by braided black leather cord bracelet was coming untied. I always kept this bracelet hidden so no one would attempt to steal it ,since it was quite valuable. Someone who I cared deeply for gave me this bracelet before they left and I haven't seen them since. Could Vergil be the one? The person who I locked out ,hoping to forget? I laid back hoping that I could escape this world and fall back into the dream world.
