Noelle pulled herself farther under the bed covers, quivering in fear. She broke into a sob. "I don't want to die.." She bit her lip, she needed to pull herself together. Then she remembered what she wanted to ask Dante. "Dante..?" She asked, eyeing him carefully. "Is there any way I can get a hold of crutches?" She needed a way of getting around, just in case she got caught in a situation which required her running.

"There are some crutches in my closet when I was injured a while ago." Dante got up and looked through his closet for the crutches. He grabbed hold of them and placed them beside the bed. Dante sat at the edge of the bed. " I'm sorry you had to witness that but I dont feel like dying until this world ends." He looked at Noelle and said this. Her eyes were turning red and he smiled. "Your almost completely changed Noelle."

She looked at Dante shocked, she hadn't felt any changes occur, other than the soreness she had grown used to the past few days. She placed her hand carefully over her chest. Nope, still beating she thought to herself. "O-oh.." was all she could say in response. She was a little confused as to why he was smiling, was he happy that he had cursed her? But she sighed, she couldn't get angry at him, not if she valued this new life.

"One more feed on me and you can feed on anyone with blood Noelle." Dante said and undid the wound again and blood dripped again. He watched Noelle and closed his eyes feeling the blood around his wrist cover his hand. "Please feed before a demon has another chance to attack Noelle."

Noelle closed her eyes and pressed her lips against his wrist, trying not to think about what she was doing. She drank more blood this time then last time, or the time before that. It felt warm and smooth going down her throat. This time, she only fell back when her chest began to hurt. It wasn't your average heart burn, her chest was on fire. She screamed out in pain, grasping her chest. She felt her heart slowing at a rapid pace and conciousness began to lose her. She screamed out again and her scream turned to a terrified cry.

"Your body is dying but you will still live. Let your body die and you will feel fine. Just relax Noelle." Dante said and picked up Noelle and placed her in the coffin beside his bed. "Dont scream or the demons will find us." He closed the coffin door and began to put up boards on the broken window and the door. He sat back down and watched the coffin and sighed still hearing Noelle scream.

Noelle screamed in agony. She nearly drove her nails into her chest she was clutching so hard. It was dark in the coffin but she could see perfectly well, still, there was nothing to be seen. She felt the burning in her chest move up towards her throat and she coughed up blood. She gasped and out of desperation dug her nails into the sides of the coffin, like a trapped dog. But it was all in vain, it was locked shut... she couldn't get out. The sides of the coffin began to close in on her and she broke into a fearful cold sweat. She let out another scream, forcing her to cough up even more blood.

Dante could hear Noelle coughing up blood and sighed. "Same process I went through. All that unnecessary blood in your body is forcing out of your body." Dante went over and opened up the coffin and showed Noelle his wrist. "Take my blood it should fit your body Noelle." Dante pressed his wrist against her new devoloped fangs waiting for her to attach herself on him. "Feed or you will die from no blood." Dante said with a strong voice.

It was the power of Dante's words which made her stop screaming. She stared at him for a moment and then pressed her lips against his wrist and gently opened up the wound with her fangs. She drank a good amount of his blood and then released herself. Eyes half-opened, she lay back down in the coffin silently. Instantly she felt tiredness wash over her and Noelle quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Dante healed the bite marks on his wrist and smiled. "Good you drank like you should." He smiled and kissed her forehead and he heard an explosion in the distance. 'They havent stopped attacking New York since yesterday.. They have to be stopped now.." Dante trailed off and looked out a window and saw smoke and one of the taller buildings collaspe. "What are they looking for that they must destory everything in their path?" Dante said and sighed going to his closet and pulling out his Katanas.

Though it appeared Noelle was sleeping peacefully on the outside, but she was really having a horrible nightmare. Noelle was in a very bright room, so bright she had to shield her eyes because they were beginning to tear. She soon realized that this bright room wasn't actually a room, it was outside.. a very large open field with a large white fountain in the center. Standing in front of the fountain was Noelle's mother as she remembered her. "Mom!" Noelle shouted as she ran towards her, arms open. It was only when she was within her mother's reach that she faded away. In her place was a tall, pale man with short gray hair which hinted at his age. But when Noelle stared up at him, he didn't look old at all. His eyes were a crimson red and lines formed under them when his mouth curved up into a smile. "I have you with me finally" he said, flashing his fangs while he spoke. "You're.. not my mom.. what have you done with her?" Noelle shouted at him as he grabbed her by the wrist. "The same I will do to you." He shouted at her. Then he bit her. "Who.. who are you?" Noelle asked weakily, she lay on the floor covered in her own blood. "Morte." He whispered as the dream faded. His name echoed in Noelle's memories.

"Noelle I'll be downtown getting rid of these demons." He looked at Noelle and said. "If you want to help I have more weapons in my closet. Also dont worry... since your changed your leg healed completely." Dante ran out the window and faded in the middle of a destroyed instersection. Suddenly he turned and saw a demon run at him. Quickly he slammed his blade through the demon and grinned at it. "Tell satan I'll never see him." He cut the demon in half and slowly it disappears back into the earth.

(What about unconcious don't you seem to understand? I really don't have anything left to say.. eer..)

Noelle stirred slightly in the coffin as one nightmare after the other came her way. But, she still didn't wake up.

(That's all I've got.. D:)

(yeah my character pretty much lost it right there lol sorry)

Dante ran at another demon and slammed his blade its skull and twisted the Katana. "Stay down demon..." he said and cut another in half. "In a violent world where desperation free, things I cant control taking over me, did they try to take my identity... So what the hell have they done to me!" Dante began to sing as he continued to battle the oncoming demons. "This life for me changes everyday, I will stand up tall, I'll be betrayed... If you play with fire, I'll control the flame." He closed his eyes and rammed another Katana into another demon. "I'll do anything to make you believe!"

(Heyy you stole my power... D: Ehh whatever)

Noelle blinked a few times and then opened her eyes. She was suprised to not be awakened by her own screams, what horrible nightmares... But there was a real nightmare going on just outside of this small coffin. She heard a loud ear piercing growl and a man screaming. The scream was familiar from somewhere... somewhere distant... Erik! Noelle almost screamed outloud, remembering her friend who had offered her a job in his band just a week ago.. when she was human. Was that only a week ago? Bursting open the top of the coffin, Noelle sat up, ready to leap out of the coffin but something stopped her. She held her breathe and looked around her in shock. The room.. looked different. Everything was so detailed, like her eyes had become ten times stronger. The light pouring in through the large hole in the wall brought tears to her eyes. Her ears perked up when she hear the familiar scream again. Focusing on what she must do, Noelle ran out of the house unarmed and shocked that her leg didn't hurt and followed the sound of Erik's screaming. She found him up against the wall of an apartment building, his eyes wide with terror. "Erik!" Noelle shouted out and then bit her lip.. he probably couldn't even recognize her. She saw Dante fighting off in the distance, he was winning, but greatly outnumbered. Thinking fast, Noelle ran back inside the house and went down the hallway to her bedroom. She pushed the window open and swung herself up onto the roof, where she knew the whole city would be able to hear her from. The wind was picking up fast and her hair was blown violently at her side. Ignoring the wind, Noelle began to sing, her voice that same powerful but unfamiliar tone she heard when singing earlier. "She never slows down. She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone.. it feels like it's all coming down. She won't turn around... the shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down." Noelle raised her head up and light radiated from her body as she sang, it began to rain heavily. "So stand in the rain, stand your ground. Stand up when it's all crashing down. If you stand through the pain, you won't drown. And one day, what's lost can be found.. you stand in the rain. She won't make a sound. Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down. She wants to be found.The only way out is through everything she's running from wants to give up and lie down..." She continued to sing and she felt the same power that she had felt the day Dante had told her the Queen was a part of her. But this time, she wasn't... Noelle was doing this herself.. and that is why light radiated around her.. light.. not darkness.. the light could kill the demons attacking her city.

Dante heard Noelle singing and looked up at a roof top and saw her. He smiled knowing she was alright. Light began to radiate from the ground and the demons began to disappear. He cut into one last demon and twisted the blade. "Dont ever come back to New York City again." Dante cut his way through the demon and it disappeared. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at Noelle and smiled again. He walked and then faded behind her smiling as she continued to sing. "I couldnt of took them all out.. thank you Noelle." He kissed her on her neck and held her gently.

Noelle closed her eyes when she finished singing and the rain instantly stopped. The sun came out instantly and rainbows could be seen in the shining puddles which covered the city. She opened her bright red eyes and looked ahead of her. It's so beautiful.. she thought as tears streamed down her eyes. She wasn't sure if she was crying or if it was just the sunlight causing her to tear, but it didn't matter to her. Thank you.. for protecting the innocents.. an unfamiliar voice spoke in Noelle's head. But remember, darkness does not always equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good. Use these powers wisely.. I know you will not disappoint me. The voice faded from Noelle's head and the landscape around her began to fade as well. Noelle fell back and went unconcious, all of her power had been used up.

Dante caught her so she didnt fall off the edge of building. "You sacrificed your energy to save this city..." Dante said and faded her back to the mansion and laid her on his bed. He tucked her in gently and kissed her forehead. He smiled and walked out of the room to the bathroom. He groaned and took off his clothes looking at all the cut marks on him. Dante stepped into the shower as the blood poored down the drain and the stinging on him. He groaned louder and stopped the shower. Slowly the wounds on his body healed up and Dante sighed.

Noelle jolted up in bed only about a half an hour later. Was that... just another dream.. she wondered. Rising slowly she walked over to the dresser where a mirror stood. Noelle closed her eyes and turned her head up, then she opened them slowly. Her eyes widened as she looked into the mirror. Her eyes were a bright, frightening red and her face was a pale ivory color. Not only that, but her face looked.. more mature.. like she had aged three years in the past few days. Her eyes were still wide, but narrowed slightly and her face had lost some of its fat, goodbye chubby cheeks. But the most startling feature was the symbol which lay on her forehead, between her two eyebrows. The symbol was yellow in color but pale, only a few shades darker than her skin. It was of a sun with a moon within it. She traced her finger over the symbol and felt the immense power radiating from it. But why did she have this symbol? Dante didn't have one.. no other vampire she had ever seen before had anything like this. She gulped. Was there something wrong with her? Noelle stumbled away from the mirror, feeling dizzy suddenly. She grasped the bed post to hold herself up and stole one last glance in the mirror. Who was this familiar stranger she was staring at? Could it really be her?

Dante put a robe on and went back into his room to see that Noelle was up. He picked her up and stood her up straight. He stared at her forehead and at the symbol. "Where did that come from?" Dante asked and set her down on the bed. He had never seen that symbol in his lifetime and he continued to stare at it. "Maybe we should look at the library to see what that symbol is all about Noelle so you can get some answers." Dane got up and put his Katanas away in his closet. He tied up his robe and closed the closet.
