Chero’s POV
The only thing I can remember, vividly…to the point where I almost cannot breath…is when we first came here. Even while everyone was trying to think of a way to escape…I could do nothing to help. I kept having to be protected…like a weakling.
It’s not as if I didn’t try! I have my magic…But every time I would try to do something…someone else would step up and protect me. Or I would be too scared to do anything…
So…everyone else got hurt…and meanwhile…I was alone. One after the other…they lost their lives…right before my eyes! Dante was first…His death was very hard on us all. Danni was in ruins. She could not handle the lose…It was such a shock…because he was not supposed to die. Or more like the demon blood inside of him should have prevented his death…But he died.
I remember watching in shock as Dante got impaled by his own sword. It was in the piano room… These times were normally full of much teasing and laughter…Because Dante was always being stabbed by his own sword…But this time was different. His face was full of pain. He coughed up blood. Danni ran over to him. She held his hand in his final moments.
“Don’t cry…Danni…”he said, “I’m used to being stabbed…”
Danni could not help it. The tears would not stop.
“But not like this! You’re in pain! I don’t want to see you suffer!”
“Danni…” he said, getting weaker.
“Dante! Please! Don’t leave me!” Danni sobbed.
“I’m sorry…” he said.
He gave her a small smirk, “Keep smiling for me…I…love…you…”
Dante closed his eyes and never opened them again. Danni screamed out in sorrow.
She had lost her most precious love…I could barely watch…So…I looked away. I waited with Danni as she mourned over Dante.
“Danni…we need to leave…” I said.
“I can’t…”
“Dante would want you to escape for him!” I cried, taking her hand.
“Chero! I lost the person most important to me. Can’t you leave me alone?!” she said, hitting my hand away.
I winced and let go. I nodded and left the Piano room.
The screaming was terrible…after I left…The monster showed up and Danni…She…. The monster had faded by the time I ran in, but Danni…she…
“I’m sorry…” she said, “It looks like it’s the end for me too…”
“No!” I cried, “I can heal you!”
Danni shook her head, “Don’t lie to me, Chero…”
“I’m not! Look, I have my staff right here. I can use magic to mend you up!”
“Chero…you already used up all of you mana to heal everyone else...”
“What can I do? What should I do?”
“Can…can you…move me over to Dante?” she asked me.
I nodded, tears streaming down my face. I used what strength I had to move Danni over to Dante. She smiled a little, tears in her eyes. She reached out and grabbed his cold hand.
“Thank you…”
My little Danni…the girl I called my child….my little Sharky…was gone. She died though…with a smile on her face, keeping her promise to Dante until the end.
