Don't own…cried at the end of the series (so sad) so I had to make a happier story.
Cascade
Chapter one: gales
A young mans voice could be heard in the forest of eve's, although…..with all the noise our young heroine was making, you couldn't even tell if it was a voice at all.
"I can't believe her!" cried Rosette, it was 10:00 in the morning on a Monday, what is her rant about this time. "That stupid old hag, never ever listening to me, why can't she just get of her high horse and actually acknowledge that I'm a living person, that I'm smart, cunning, brave, UGH!" Rosette had ounce again asked her step mother, Kate, to bound off and look for her brother Joshua who had been long since taken away from her.
Flashback
"KATE PLEASE!" Rosette screamed whole heartedly.
"I'm sorry Rosette but we need you right now, so far the battle hasn't been going well between the kingdoms, were losing furiously and there just sending more and more people to the border," Kate said in a calm collected voice.
"I DON'T CARE, LISTEN TO ME, I-D-O-N-T-C-A-R-E," she yelled in the woman's ear, amazing that the entire castle hadn't heard the cries of the angry blond.
"Rosette, I said it's finale, now go and calm yourself down before I put you in the dungeon!" an agitated voice crept into her usually calm demeanor.
"I HATE YOU," and with that last comment she was off. Speeding to god knows were.
"What a rash girl," Kate said to no one particular. Staring out over the maps that lay in front of her. Her eyes glazing over slightly, "if she only understood the intensity of this war were fighting…."
End of flashback
"ERRRR!" her voice echoing off the trees as she sped through the forest.
She fell to her knees, tears forming in her eyes from the strain she was putting on herself "why," she said quietly, "he's my brother…"
"Why was I saved, why did he only save me………."
Yet another flashback --
"JOSHUA NOOO!" the little girl screamed as she hugged onto the blond boy in front of her.
"Please leave him alone he has nothing to do with you!" she whined.
"On the contrary……he has everything to do with me," the man snickered. He was tall, like a white bird as his hair streamed in the wind.
"Now little girl, you either let me take him or I will kill you…"
"NEVER!"
"Have it your way…" he slowly transformed into the devil he was. He pried the girl off and bashed her against a tree. A small source of light emanating from his hand, "we could have done this the easy way but…" he shot the ball at her, her entire body cringing as she could see her fate.
A black blur swooped in before the light could make contact with her; smashing the tree behind, the young man raised an eyebrow."
"You're still a sap for humans eh Chrono?" he chuckled sinisterly.
A tall figure stepped out of the shadows, holding the now shaking girl to his chest "at least I don't kill senselessly," he growled, the strange spine like cord behind him snapping.
"Well you don't anymore…none the less, I must be going," he scooped up the mesmerized boy quickly and vanished into the great abyss of the night.
"Damn you Aion, you selfish bastard!" he sighed, and stared down at the girl in his arms.
She was crying immensely and had a look of dread on her face
"Go home…" he said as he set her down and started to walk away, before he got two inches away from the girl he felt a tugging on his leg "what's going to happen to him" she sobbed.
"I can't really tell you that….." he said, prying her of and kneeling down in front of her so their eyes met.
"…what do I do now" she said, her bangs covering her face, "my brother is gone, I'm all alone…."
"I'm sorry; I can't help you with that…."
"Why did you save me?" she said, staring into the red eyes of her savior.
"What's you name?" "Rosette," "Well then Rosette, my name is Chrono," he said with the only cheerful face he could muster, "I saved you so you can grow up and live a good life."
"No…I will never give up on him, my brother is the only thing I have left…" she said another wave of tears forming on her porcelain features.
"Do you mean that?" he said in a curios tone, lifting her face to meet his.
"Yes, I do…."
"Well then," he stood up "I will meet you when your older and stronger at this spot were that tree was broken into the lake," he pointed.
"Till then," and with that he walked of into the shadows, leaving a hopeful girl in his wake.
End of flashback
As soon as her tantrum had stopped she heard a voice, it was beautiful, hard to describe though. It was like angels voice, mixed with the monotone of a devil.
She quickly ran through the forest, not wanting to stop, her feet beating desperately against the ground.
'Where is it coming from' she thought her mind spinning in dismay. 'Wait, it can't be coming from there….'
She got to a wide open spot in the middle of the forest, and there he was. Although smaller mind you and wearing different garments, he was still the man who saved her.
The young man stopped his singing and glanced up at the girl, his lips only parting slightly "Rosette," he whispered into the wind, "You have come then eh?"
Rosette stood there for a few minutes, almost frozen to the spot, "Chrono, you have come back then…"
The young man smiled, slowly walking up to the girl, "yes it's me, and I have come to help you fight for the man that belongs to you." There was something strange hidden in those words, was it jealousy, sadness?
"Thank you!" she tackled him, evidently her push was so hard that they both came crashing to the ground.
"Hey common get off, if someone finds us like this they will think…" he said, fumbling over his words slightly.
"Remember I'm here to help you save Joshua, together we shall" he raised his right hand as his other propped him up into a sitting position.
She blushed "yes, uh sorry", she fell forward clumsily into his chest.
He blushed furiously, laughing nervously, "I see you haven't changed at all Rosette of Mary Magdalene, You're still that clumsy girl I saved."
"How did you….." "I have my sources; you think I wouldn't keep watch over you so you don't get yourself killed with the temper you have acquired."
"HEY!" she said, rolling off of him then staring him straight in the eyes, "I'm not that bad, and what temper are you talking about!" she said poking him in the nose.
He stood up and lent her a hand, his hair cascading in the wind, "let's go back, together alright."
She took it, pulling herself up as they both started walking "we better do something about your hair, tie it back or something."
He just smiled and laughed to himself, "alright Rosette, well do just that."
This is an old story that I thought I would post; I wrote it a while ago, it's not quite up to par with the rest of my stories. I hope you like it though. Sadly this won't have any of my "rei's corner" stuff.
If I don't get a good amount of reviews then I probably won't continue this story
Sincerely Rei
