Diablo in Highschool DxD

Chapter 4: Grayfia Lucifuge

A streak of liquid rolled against my cheek...

I cried

I cried out loud,

For the first time in my life I lost control of my emotions. The calm and composed me was nowhere to be seen.

The curtain across the tent flapped as another figure entered in.

It was my younger brother, Euclid Lucifuge.

A gaze momentarily paused at my pitiful condition before turning it to the bed.

His eyes widened slightly as slight flashes of denial and grief reflected on to it.

Perhaps it was my imagination, but I witnessed his eyes slightly misting over...

Before finally, he shut his eyes, before opening them again with a glare in place.

Disdain and disgust...that was all I could see, a whisper left his mouth that made my eyes widen in disbelief and fury

"Pathetic..."

Just as I was about to shout at him, he walked out of the tent leaving me with an expression of shock.

I just stood there...in silence...

...

During the next following days I got control of emotions and stopped grieving...at least during the day...

My nights were long and slow...painful and miserable..

...I also asked around, getting more information from the soldiers on what actually happened and led to my father's demise. The answers simply fed more to my misery...

He was poisoned by a Fly Chimera ...from the Beelzebub family, he was apparently 'accidentally' killed and was an 'unfortunate' casualty.

I chuckled bitterly

...I didn't know what to do anymore, should I be angry?

I couldn't even go to Euclid anymore ...not after how he acted previously.

I was all alone... Father was gone, I'm not sure if I could even trust my brother anymore and the Lucifuge clan members would side with him as he is the heir. Even though I am the older sibling it doesn't change the fact that I'm a women and the Lucifuge house was never a matriarchal household.

With no goal in mind, I walked out of my tent heading out the camp. It was, as if I was in daze as I strode forward in a random direction in the forest.

I don't know how long I had walked...a few hours perhaps?

With a tired sigh and dull eyes, I turned around to the direction of the camp as I started to head back. My steps were slow...

However I suddenly halted as I turned my head to a bush at my right.

It ruffled slightly, as I tensed up and charged up my magic, before a figure finally emerged from it.

It was a man, quite a handsome one as well, with crimson hair. He looked very familiar for some reason

There was a lot of blood...He was injured quite badly.

He grit his teeth as he realised the presence of another person but as he raised his head to look at me. He paused.

He kept on staring at me as if he fell into some trance before his body finally gave up on him as he fainted.

I looked at his condition and knew that if he didn't get treated immediately, he would probably die. I saw no reason in helping him and was about to turn around when I hesitantly stopped.
