Chap 6- Your best shoes pt. 1
Hours and hours rolled by as the student body discussed how we can find shelter in most places around the city,
what to do if you see a monster and the top safe zones...
As the head of the student body stood with 3 other men and a odd priest. Me and Alba just remained confused & bored. Already aware of what was happening to Limbo city. My guess was the other students were still frightened and just wanted things to turn back to a certain normality.
Alba held my hands tightly as we continued to listen. Most of the school building was badly burned and torn apart. All I kept thinking about was when to meet up with Ares, and what he wanted to tell me, this peculiar boy. But I knew I had to cancel, Vergil would want an answer and a man of his gesture would get it one way or another. He knew so much that even I couldn't comprehend, his mystery only made me more eager to know this crossover between Angels & Demons. I wanted to learn, I needed to learn…
I blurred out half of the principal speech until the odd priest started talking. The principal stood behind, than spoke almost nervously
"Now I know most of you students may not be …religious, but do hear with Father Jen has to say, it may be of importance to you all."
Religion was a choice in our school, but with the circumstances after the Silver Sax tower was destroyed and the Demons attacked, it only seemed logical to look back into ancient history I suppose. The priest held up his hand a red berry fruit, very tiny and dangled from a single branch from his hand.
"These are Gohigi berries. And this berry may very well save your life. Demons are unlike no other, they are not angry spirits, they don't seek clarity or holy companiship. They only thrive on the blood and tears of the innocence, the ampitomy of POWER and lust."
He continued but this time the priest squashed the Gohigi berry in his hand, its red juices trailing to the floor and the student body confused.
"With this" he said his finger drenched in rich red juice, taking his index finger and tracing a circle on his wrist
"This is the most simplest ancient spell to ward off the demons"
Demons, no one ever called them that until know. The student body quiet and dazed.
He continued;
"A Gohigi berries juice, can make you invisible to these creatures, which I am sure all of you know what I'm talking about. If u seek salvation, do try it, It may very well save your life."
The principal intervened and continued his speech, possibly bothered at the new state the world was in.
"Human Revolution, begins with one act of bravery"
These words stood with me as we left. Each of us got Gohigi circles on wrist, and a bag of berries blessed by the priest.
On our way back to Alba's apartment, she hinted at my text I recovered earlier of Ares.
"Well, well Valentine, seems like you have a new admirer, you never told me about him, spill the beans girl!"
"He's not my admirer Alba, I met him on my birthday"
"Does Vergil know about him?" her eyebrow fluttered
I chuckled " Why does Vergil need to knew about him?"
Alba let out a deep breath as we continued walking down the streets of graphitti and european designed buildings. Other students were scattered about trying to get home.
"Well, Vergil has been around and wanting to help, he's saved your life, I'm sure he probably wants you to join the Order too"
I looked down, stopped in the middle of the cobble street floor. All my life in Limbo City; I failed to notice the angelic and demonic graphitti that scattered the walls, unable to figure out that in my presence always … there always were angels and demons. I looked Alba,
"He did ask me, to join, I have to tell him tonight…"
Alba looked at me indisbelief,
"Well what the HELL are waiting for?, you have to join!, how are going to find Pandorian without his resources"
"Alba I…"
"Not buts Valentine!, you owe it to you and yourself to join their organization. This guy established the Order, I'm sure he can help u find Pandorian, you should take his offer and at the same time bring some peace to this chaos…hell I'll even join with you"
I stood amazed the truth that slapped me across my face. Alba continued to talk,… Vergil was the answer to figuring out what happened to Pandorian and if it meant biting my tongue I should just take the risk… he s just a man right…isn't he?…
On our way back to Alba's apartment, she locked the door tight and squeezed more Gohigi berries around the doorway. She knocked out early than expected which led me to my own thoughts. I felt crazy sensations through my body, as I laid in bed… I needed to see him, I need to tell him, that I will do it, I will join the Order I will be a part of the revolution in any way….
I put on my grey sweater and my red hair toppled over, placed on my favorite pair of ripped jeans and worn out sneakers and headed out the bedroom window. Leaving Alba a message for my return on a small napkin;
"I will join, for both us, for Pandorian"
I knew leaving in the middle of the night was dangerous, but with the Gohigi berry symbol on my wrist I felt much more safer. I was able to walk a couple blocks to the city square. Not a lot of people were around only a few to continue cleaning the cobble in the streets. I was going to call a cab, but was uncertain, he wouldn't want anyone to know the location, in fact I didn't know myself. I hope that going to the towns square the same place I met Memeha, he would show up again...
With my luck and 2 hours of walking I was able to reach the towns square in the middle of the night. I covered my red hair and face in my grey sweater waiting… for someone.
Soon enough a chattering and swift swing sound passed me by …a demon. A female demon splattered before my very eyes. Her cracked doll face shattered in black gooey and nothingness. A manly and youthful voice appeared, his black hair shifting sword with ease, his smile undeniable and his posture confident.
It was Dante, Vergil's twin. Nephilim
"Well, what are u doing here Valentine?." He positioned his blade to his back and it disappeared. Passing me by his glowing tattoo that nested on his back let out a dim light.
"I'm looking for …"
"Vergil..." he interuppted, well your not going to find him here,"
I look down in embarrassment. Dante comes closer; I gazed up to see his raven dark touch my forehead. , He could see the eagerness in my eyes…
"Ok," he said, " lets go before it gets more crazy"
Surprising to me, Vergil black muscle car was parked nearby, but instead of him in the driver seat it was Kat, the woman with the Henna tattoos on her arms and hands. Together they drove me to the Order…
Kat and Dante had shared a likeness towards one another. As we reached the underground catheralls of the new Order base, Dante had informed me to follow a path down the corridors to Vergil. Him and Kat on the other hand proceeded to the main hall. Dante looked back me before I left,
"Valentine, catch you later…" a childish smirked crossed his face and Kat blushed as they walked away. Wasn't quite sure how Alba would feel about that.
I found myself in a labyrinth of the Order; the cold cathedral underground vibe provided a gothic and regalness to itself. And with luck I found myself in Vergil's chambers a huge bulletproof door stood before me, and I just waited, for what seemed like forever. I found myself dozing off. Until the huge door opened and there he was.
"At all hours of the night Valentine…" his blue glove lend a helpful to me and I found myself using it to get up and look at him. As usually he continues to have a focused demeanor. I found staring at his mahogany shirt again and the cuts of his abdomen in between. We walk more into his office a huge room with big monitors and giant bookcases.
He leans in his desk his chest pronounced and his eyes focused.
"Have you came to a decision?"
"Yes…." I held my breathe and began again " I want to join…the revolution."
A chuckled left his lips, I had never seen him laugh before, but at the same time it made me feel embarrassed.
" What's so funny?."
He stands up from leaning on this desk and swiftly walks up and grabs my arm, his strong hands encircling my wrist baring the circle Gohigi juice mark. His head titled slightly and he looked at me in seriousness.
" This will not help you, it may ward off demons from humans,"
Completely confused by his remarks I move a step back almost tripping before his sharp speed catches me before I fall.
" I…. I am … human."
His picks me up with ease the turns to his desk where he sits. For a while he stood staring at me his arms and hands crossed his lips.
"No, you are not human Valentine… this I know"
With all the anger I had pent inside, all the obstacles I've been through to get to this point to maybe have a resource to find Pandorian, I could only unleash all the fury that waited to plunder.
"IAM HUMAN!"
Vergil clamped his hands again, and studied me.
"Gohigi berries work only and solely on human beings in means of protection to ward off the demons, it has not worked at all for you."
His swiftly gets up from his desk and makes his way towards me, grabbing my wrist with smooth dominance and with his thumb squishing the Gohigi berry juice from my wrist
"You are not human… Valentine… and you are not a demon, but know this, you will not leave tonight…"
" What. What about?.." My arms tingle as I fall to the floor, completely confused and disoriented, I ran from Vergil's grasp.
He let me go reluctantly and I found myself in the same room he had put when I was injured and my feet were with jarred with glass. The blue mahogany walls, the huge bed and the purple rich sheets. I couldn't remain my composure I kept screaming
"IM HUMAN, IM HUMAN! YOU'RE THE MONSTER!"
Vergil unamused walked toward me again and closed the bedroom door behind him. I found my red hair swing about as he swiftly pushed me against the wall. My yellow pendant glowed angrily and I felt a surge of energy go through my body and that mysterious voice
"Nephilim…Nephlim…."
Vergil continued to press against wall hoping that my shock would cease. I could smell his cologne dance around my nose, his blue pendant press against my chest like a heartbeat. My eyes teared. And a whimper escaped my lips
"I am human, I am…"
His blue-gloved hand covered my forehead and with ease picked me up towards the bed. He kept staring at me as I laid feeling weak. As my head graced the pillow and red hair spread out amongst the sheets. I whispered, completely drained and exhausted.
"Vergil…."
He leans over slightly, his white slick back hair and fade gently press on my neck as he whispers in my ear
" You are… Nephilim…and you cannot hide Valentine, you will stay…"
As lifts his head and turns slowly. For the first time our eyes , ears and lips are inches apart. He stares at my tired eyes focused and unresponsive.
The heavy burden of news made my whole body and eyelids heavy. Before they closed on this familiar bed, I could see his chiseled face emotionless and steady. What ever he is, …what ever I am,… maybe we're both monsters.
My eyelids remembering only Vergil's crisp blue eyes as he watches me pass out. The bounded darkness closes my eyes finally, but then…
A warm sensation graced my lips, soft lips touched mine and with my eye still closed I reached up caressing soft hair. Clamping my hand around firm shoulders and felt the taste of sweetness slowing dancing on the tip of my lips. A deep hum danced along the outer part of my face. My hands continued to trail feeling a cold pendant, and deep contours of a warm chest.
A pause followed after but the warmness continued. My hands continued to move about trying to feel who had caressed me with such familiarity.
I open my eyes for one last time before I drifted into slumber and Vergil had look away. He quickly away from my bedside and out of the room.
"Vergil?..."
He didn't glance back and only paused for a moment before leaving and locking the door behind him…
