The two panthers stayed with Dante for a bit and then looked towards the stairs where the children had been taken. "Oh go on you two." Dante chuckled. "Say good nigh to them." The two panthers rose and moved quickly up the stairs. It didn't take them long to find the children's bedroom. They shared a large room. The bedtime story had been told and the children were wanting more. When they saw the two panthers they sat up calling to them. Nyx moved up and nudged the little girl back down and licked her face and then moved over to the little boy and did the same. Both children laughed and hugged Nyx. Midnight just put his head on the bed and let them pet him. Lilly could not help but laugh at the sight of the two panthers. They were so good around the children.<br/><br/>The two panthers rose and moved quickly up the stairs. It didn't take them long to find the children's bedroom. They shared a large room.

They will be here in the morning when you wake up." Lilly told her children. The two panthers left with the two women and they once again moved down the stairs to join Dante. It was time for all of them now to go to bed. Lilly showed Laylah to her room and a short time later Dante and Michael came up with the two panthers. Nyx nudged the door to Laylah's room open and entered and Midnight followed Dante to his room.<br/><br/>"Well now my friend. How do you like having a companion." he looked at Midnight. Dante would swear that he smiled and he chuckled. Those yellow eyes seemed to be brighter. "Well I think she is good for you as well." he told Midnight. He then thought of Laylah. He liked having her near him and with him. The burden of being a Demon Lord seemed lighter and less of a hassle when she was around him. He sat there on the bed with Midnight's head on his lap. He petted the panthers head and scratched him behind his ears. He wondered if t here could be more between him and Laylah then what there was at the moment. His father and the Queen had proven that it was possible, that the old stories were true. He sighed as he undressed and got into bed.<br/><br/>Morning came fast and the sound of the two children getting up and running through the house could be heard. Dante heard Midnight get up from his place by the bed and move to the door and open it with a paw so he could go out. The shouts of Midnight and Nyx from the children told him the two panthers had joined the two children. He chuckled and shook his head as he got up and got dressed.
