Dante's rage filled seeing Katherin in pain. "If there is a time to talk it's now Katherin" Dante yelled. He knew if she spoke she would have to release all her secrets, but he knew with those secrets she would have to say the doctors weakness. Dante's eye began to turn red. He couldn't hold his rage much longer but he knew if he attacked it could possibly get Katherin hurt. He had hoped Sven told Luther his plan. it wasn't looking good. Let me free Dante and I will save your friends. the demon bargained.

I hope you're ready to cooperate, Nightmares. Luther said to his demon, moving to get a better view of what was happening. It would be a pleasure to, my friend, if you would only lend me your body. The demon responded, eager to do what he did best. Of course,the victim would be another demon, but not one of the ones agreed to be let alone in the contract, and that's all that mattered. Luther hesitated for a moment, after all, one couldn't trust a demon to take good care of a body. He got over himself, agreeing to the deal. Nightmares, delighted by this news, took over Luther's body. He stood up smoothing out his shirt and grinning. He was staring straight at the doctor, eyes blood red. "Hello again." He had always hated Hope...This was a great opportunity.

"Aww there you are Nightmares." The doctor purred. "Decided to join the party? You and your little friends will never beat me. I have became stronger then all of you. I am an angel. And we all know angels always defeat demons.

Dante laughed. "You're dumber than I thought." Dante taunted. He released Pain's power onto the Doctor. "Lets see how strong you are." Dante said with a grin.

Sven Jumped from the darkness towards the tazer, hoping to get the hooks stuck in his body, his arms covering his stomach and his head and legs curled back. He didn't make a sound but on the inside sven was struggling to get back control. "hey I feel the pain too ya know can't we think of something smarter" The boy yelled from the inside as the attempted to ram the opponent. "sorry kid but this guy's already stronger than all of us, possibly even combined, the least we can do is disarm him, then maybe we can have a chance" the demon said in a stranger tone than usual.

"wait you're trying to be helpful, you wanted be to infect them all when we started why would you want them alive"
"fellow demons are better than you think, and I need you happy if I ever want you to do my bidding" the demon chuckled in his mind
"well you could have at least pretended you turned good" the boy pouted
"oh we can have this conversation later for now help me fight, I have seen you swing and I know you pack more than just a punch, you hit with your soul, how about showing me how" the demon said as sven was giving a mutual control of there body.

Even in a different body, any hint of Hope's voice pissed the demon off. Nightmares scowled, "Disgusting being. How unfortunate of you to think that." He took the opportunity of the other two umping on him to do the same, running towards the doctor and attempting to grab him, intending to give him hallucinations.

Delilah's eyes widened, she hugged herself and listened to the others from behind her small cover. They were all so tough, and even though she was pulled towards the battle by her demon, her human half was confused, scared, and ready to run. Weak! We must face him! Prove yourself! Promiscuity yelled, scolding Delilah and pushing against the bonds of the human body. 'Okay, okay, don't do anything stupid.' Delilah chided, Promiscuity growled, and forced her vessel to stand. Delilah wanted to scream, instead, she scowled. Taking a proud stance, Delilah stood up next to the others, while staying away from the fray. 'Re don't need to fight, not just yet, wait until her is weak. Then, I shall work my magic. Promiscuity sounded happy with herself, and Delilah beamed as well, a viscous smile spreading across her face.

The doctor staggered as pain hit him. Unfortunately because of his closeness to Katherin she got brushed by the demon to.

"One down." The doctor chuckled. "Tasers make it nearly impossible to control."

As Luther ran towards the doctor. Katherin opened her mouth. She started revealing every secret she had gather. Fortunately the doctors were among the first. If the others reacted fast enough their secrets wouldn't be revealed. "He is afraid of the dark and snacks."

Dante snapped out of his rage when he heard Katherin speak. Her voice was beautiful. Concentrate jackass! Pain snapped. Dante ran for the fire and kicked dirt over it to smother it. "Luther make the room filled with snakes." Dante yelled. "Okay Pain guide me to him." Dante had one of the red hot stone surrounding the fire in his hand.

Nightmares was grateful for the information given by Katherin. It was uncommon for someone of his age to have a fear of the dark, but luckily, it was an easy one to work with. As he grabbed hold of the doctor, he laughed, glad to have a new target finally. From the now smothered fire and the entrances of the room snakes came in, only visible by an occasional glint in their eye. They headed for the doctor, dozens of constrictors wrapping themselves around him, and others biting him wherever they could. The constant hissing sound they all emitted only grew louder as time passed.

Dante found himself next to the doctor and as he screamed from the snakes he jammed the red hot stone into his mouth. "Now you will know how Katherin lives. Dante took the key to the cage and released a high amount of Pain's power onto the doctor. He turned away from him and let the pain agonize the doctor while he released Katherin. Dante reached in and grabbed Katherin's hand.

"This is not the end." The doctor flapped his wings and flew out if the cave. Katherin huddled into a pain. She wasnt particularly find if the dark. She was sore and tired. She continued revealing secrets. Luckily she had collected many between meeting the doctor and meeting the group so the groups secrets were safe, but she could stop. If they wanted their secrets to be safe they would have to act within the next hour or so.

Dante picked Katherin up. "We are done here guys lets get out of here. He carried her out of the cave. "That was great team work guys." Dante said. He looked at Katherin in his arms. "I think you could use some rest." He told her. She was still spilling out secrets. "This is a long shot but maybe this will help." He closed his eyes and kissed her. You are an idiot Dante. We need to go after that asshole. Pain scolded Dante.

@}---------}------------

That was fun. Hope we can do that again soon, my friend. With that, Nightmares let Luther back in control of his own body, leaving him only slightly dizzy from disorientation. He followed Dante out of the cave, glad to be out of it and back into open space. "That guy is going to be a pain in the ass..." He muttered, adjusting to the sunlight.

Delilah walked out of the cave, smiled at Katherin, and shook her head at the others. "I didn't do much, but you guys all did a very good job. Next time, I'll leave it to you." She hugged Katherin gently with one arm, and sighed in relief. "How about you? Are you okay hun? I bet it was rough, being here, even for a few hours." Her voice was as sweet as honey, soothing and lustrous. "Dante, do you mind if I ride with you? I want to sit with Katherin. She looks bad, she needs someone to take care of her." Delilah hadn't been fazed by the kiss they shared, and smiled her way out of the situation. She could tell a part of her was hurt, but she refused to give into that part, love wasn't her thing. It probably wouldn't be for a long time. What was the point of letting it hurt her right now? She started walking ahead of the group, hovering towards Dante's car.

Katherin was surprised by the kiss. She continued to spill secrets getting closer and closer to her friends secrets. Tears if frustration and shame filled her eyes. Until her body slowly relaxed and she returned the kiss.

Dante smiled at Delilah. "You helped. I felt Pain tell you where we were." Dante replied. ? Yeah sure you can ride with us. Maybe Sven will ride with Luther so he can have company on the ride back." He said putting Katherin in the back seat. He grabbed her book and pen from the front seat. "You probably want this back.? Dante said handing them to her. He gently closed the door and hugged Delilah and let her into the back of his car so she could sit with Katherin. He closed the hood of the car and got into the front seat. "Victory never tasted good." He said turning the car on and drove back to the castle.

Dante couldnt help but smile on the drive home. The kiss felt amazing. Pain wasnt too happy but sparks flew for Dante.

Katherin closed her eyes. She wanted to sleep before Secrets decided that he wanted to continue revealing everything he knew. She accepted her notebook gratefully.
