Chapter 9

Like every morning, one of the butler, who worked at the Joestar mansion, must burn the trash in the incinerator outside. The one in charge of this task that day had the great surprise to find a wooden box inside the engine but the man decided to let it and turned on the machine. As he was leaving, he heared howls and an animal on fire came out of the incinerator. Before he could do anything the creature jumped at him in blinding rage, biting his wrist off and clawing half of the poor butler's face. His opponent defeated, the animal almost turned to dust as it fell on the ground. The fire engulfs it and the creature died without another sound.

The corps were found ten minutes later by a gardener. Blood and dust covering the ground.

"It must have been a wolf attack or something like that." Said the police officer that been called to the Lord Joestar. He continued:

"You don't have a bunch dog to protect the mansion? Where are they?

- Actually, we have a big young dog. I was wondering why it was not here. And why is there so much dust?

- We think the victim used fire to protect himself. The incinerator is just here after all. And it only need a stick to burn. But we didn't found any dog here or near. Must have ran away.

- Strange..."

Somewhere else in the manor, Dio was spying the case out the window. Smiling. The disappearance of Danny would make his lover a bit sad but like that they will be happy, will they not be? Anyway, Dio was sure that Jonathan won't suspect anything.

Dio felt closer and closer to the heart of his beloved JoJo.
