The realization

I entered Twilights' room closing and locking the door in the process. I walked over to Twilights' bed seeing her buried under three blankets. I sat down next to her not trying to scare her at all. I laid down with her and put my arm around her. She looked back at and slowly looked away.

Twilight~ I thought you wouldn't want to see me after last night…

Dante~ Twi… nothing will stop me from seeing the one person I love the most.

Twilight~ Even what happened last night…?

Dante~ Your mom was nice and your dad apologized for what happened. You don't have anything to worry about.

Twilight~ You really think my dad was serious about that apology? He wants you dead all because you're my boyfriend… mom knows it too. Ever since he met you all he talks about is you being killed by him…

I gave Twilight a quick kiss before I got out of the bed. She looked at me fearful of what I could be thinking. I looked at her in the eyes and walked out of the room. Twilight got up and followed me trying everything she could to stop me.

Twilight~ Dante no please it's not worth it!

Dante~ Somebody has to teach him a lesson.

Twilight~ All that will do is make things worse. So what if he doesn't like you that doesn't mean you can just go ahead and harm him.

Dante~ It's a matter of respect he doesn't have to like me but just like how I have to respect him he has to respect me. I won't let him get away with this.

Twilight~ Dante calm down this kind of energy is the reason why you lost control the day you nearly destroyed the school. You were in a coma for three months because of it… Dante please I'm begging you please don't do this…

Velvet looked over at me and I looked over at Twilight. In defeat I walked back to the room with Twilight and sat down on the bed. Twilight sat down with me and kissed me slowly and lightly. She pulled away and looked me in the eyes.

Twilight~ Dante… he isn't ever worth the trouble, remember that.

Dante~ You're right Twi I would just be wasting my time with him anyway.

Twilight~ Yeah… hey you know we're alone and the door is locked what do you say we you have a tiny bit of fun?

Dante~ Heh fun like how?

Twilight~ Maybe something like this.

Twilight lightly kissed me repeatedly. Minutes later she got on top of me and I started caressing her. I pulled away from the make out session and placed my mouth on her neck sucking and biting her lightly. I'm sure you could guess what I was doing heh. While giving Twilight the mark of my love I heard her moan for the first time. Her face went rose red as I pulled away from her neck and laid down next to her caressing her as I looked into her eyes.

Twilight~ Heh you know my dad is gonna kill me right?

Dante~ I think your mom has got you trust me.

Twilight~ I'm 18 my mom always lets me do what I feel like doing as long as I don't get arrested or hurt anyone. My dad on the other hand still treats me like a kid.

Dante~ He's scared to see you grow up. All dads are like that.

Twilight~ If he sees this mark on my neck he's gonna find you just letting you know Lol.

Dante~ Lol lucky for me I'm a die-hard. I love you Twi.

Twilight~ I love you more Dante.

My phone rang. Rip called me earlier and left me a message. I wanted to hear what he had to say so I played the message of course.

*Voicemail*

*Rip~ Hey Dante let me know when you're coming back to my place it's like 5pm and I just wanted to know when you're coming back. You can bring Twilight with you if you want. Anyway imma be here waiting later dawg.*

Dante~ Damn I forgot I was gonna go back to Rips place. Do you wanna come with Twi?

Twilight~ Nah I'll stay here say hi to Rip for me when you get there ok.

Dante~ Ok Twi.

I gave Twi a quick kiss before I left. One second I was in Twilights' room the next second I was in Rips' room. Rainbow was there this time she sat next to Rip playing video games with him.

Rainbow~ Oh hey Dante how did you get here so quickly?

Dante~ It's one of my abilities. It's a Night Owl's way to fast travel. It doesn't take that much energy so I don't have my necklace on me right now.

Rip~ Anyway what did she say about Twilight wanting to be a Night Owl?

Dante~ She said it's not a good idea. The last thing she wants is Twilight getting hunted by the government.

Rainbow~ I'm guessing the Night Owls you two speak about aren't really wanted in this world.

Dante~ As sad as it is, yes that is true. It's a dark truth but I along with many other night owls have to deal with it. Although they are the reason why my father is dead…

Rainbow~ I'm… sorry for your loss Dante.

Dante~ Don't be it's not your fault… anyway off that topic what have you two been doing?

Rip~ Rainbow and pinkie have been keeping me company.

Dante~ Where is pinkie?

Rainbow~ She's downstairs making cupcakes and I'm up here with Rip chilling.

Rip~ Yeah the others are at the hospital looking after sunset. They told us to let you know that sunset really wants to see you at the hospital today.

Dante~ Well the sun is still up I might as well head there now. I don't want to keep her waiting.

Rip~ Alright, thanks for stopping by bro.

Dante~ Not a problem dawg. I'll see you two later… bye.

Rip~ Bye

Rainbow~Bye

I fast traveled over to the hospital and started walking to sunsets room. I was excited to see sunset again knowing she's ok and will be completely fine. When I turned the corner to sunsets room something felt off. I didn't know what it was but I didn't really acknowledge it that much. I finally made it to sunsets room and entered nobody was in there except sunset. Sunset didn't look so good. She looked tired and fearful about something.

Dante~ Hey sunset you don't look too good. Is everything ok?

Sunset~ I wasn't able to sleep last night… he showed up in my dreams last night… laughing and beating me to near death… I tried to fight back but he overpowered me. He told me that he's coming for you and nothing will stop him from killing you...

Dante~ I'm guessing you mean Pop or Donny.

Sunset~ Yeah… I don't know an easier way to say this but… I'm scared of him. He was able to do this to me once without hesitation no doubt he will gladly kill me the next time… I remember his strength to… he hits like a 10 ton truck hitting a deer at full speed.

Dante~ I understand sunset and to be honest it's ok to be afraid even I'm afraid. I'm not afraid of Pop tho I'm afraid of letting not only him but you and everyone else down.

The doctor walked in and placed his hand on my shoulder.

Dr.mike~ Hello we haven't met I'm Dr.mike I'm making sure sunset gets the attention she needs.

Dante~ Hey Dr. I'm Dante, one of Sunset's friends. Is there any chance you can tell me when she's allowed to leave the hospital?

Dr.mike~ Well it did take some time to find that out but we will start by stating the fact that she took quite a beating. We've never seen anything like this before. Her intestines are totally damaged; it will take at least a month before she can even take another step without collapsing. She's also let us know that she's in a lot of pain and that it's hard for her to sit up without screaming. The blow broke at least one if not two of her ribs. We say that because her insides are so messed up it's hard to get a clear x-ray of her ribs. I'm gonna be honest I'm surprised she isn't dead right now. She's gonna be in the hospital for at least a year before she can do anything physical.

Sunset~ How am I gonna graduate highschool if I'm in the hospital?

Dr.mike~ your parents are responsible for that they already know about this and are hard at work trying to get you enrolled in online courses.

Dante~ I guess it's gonna be a while until you can come back to school with us… I'm sorry sunset if I had jumped in to help you sooner this wouldn't have happened to you…

Sunset~ It's not your fault nobody expected this to happen, not even Pop could have seen this coming.

Dante~ i think I need to get back home… it's getting a bit dark outside…

Sunset~ Oh… well you can go home if you want dante. Please don't beat yourself up over this. I hate to see any of my friends blame themselves for something that wasn't their fault.

Dante~ I'll try… goodbye sunset I'll talk to you later.

I felt the hospital and headed home. I would have fast traveled back home but I didn't have the energy to do so. While walking home I noticed a red flash of light coming from the nearby alleyway. Without hesitation I dashed over to the location where the nearby light came from and found something absolutely Grimm. I found a dead body… It was a girl covered in blood. She had fatal scratches on her and her neck was deeply bit. I back away from the body scared out of my mind and turned around to find writing on a wall written in blood. The writing said the words "You're next Dante" without a doubt in my mind this had to have been Pop or Donny whatever his name is that didn't matter. I didn't care how tired I was. I used the last of my energy and fast traveled home.

Dante~ That can't be real… he actually killed someone… he literally fucking killed someone. How did he know I would have been passing by the alleyway!? Ok Dante calm down you can learn from this. Now you know where Pop probably is located and he could be watching me at all times. The bad news is if he is in that area he's close to the hospital where sunset is located and he could kill her at any moment… I can't let that happen. Ugh my head hurts I need to lay down.

Before I got in bed I heard the door open slightly. I turned my head to find Jamie hesitating to walk.

Dante~ Oh… hey I'm guessing you overheard me.

Jamie~ Where is the body…?

Dante~ *sigh* the alleyway closest to the Central hospital. Why are you so quick to know?

Jamie~ Here I was sent this note from someone anonymous. It says to give to you…

I was slowly handed the note and read it out loud.

Dante~ "All I wanted was to be accepted… but instead I was rejected by everyone who I thought would be there for me… You don't know what it's like to be me unlike yourself I'm all alone I don't have anyone to tell me everything's gonna be alright. The dark and loneliness fueled me with hate and I intend to take all that hate out on you. I'm gonna slash you until you're covered in your own blood. I'm going to make you beg for your life. I'm gonna make you suffer. Get ready Dante your time is nearly up."

I stood frozen completely petrified by what I read. Jamie took her hand placing it on my shoulder and looked into my eyes.

Jamie~ You don't have time to rest… you know that right?

Dante~ Now I do… he's gonna kill me and I can't talk him out of doing so. There's only one thing to do now.

Jamie~ What is it?

Dante~ He won't sleep until I'm dead so I can't sleep until he's dead… I'm gonna kill my own brother.
