Prologue

A figure lingered in the door way of the old abandoned cabin. His dull red eyes scanned the room as he turned to go out the door. As he walked out of the cabin, his eyes turned towards a figure on the swing. The person on the swing looked to be only resting if a bystander walked by, but the red eyed demon knew the sad truth. The beautiful blond on the swing had passed on. Her life ending minutes before in the arms of the red-eyed demon.

Sighing, the crimson-eyed Sinner walked over to the golden-haired child of God. Sitting down on the ground in front of her, Chrno stared at the nun sadly, his eyes clouding over with tears. He had thought that when she died, he would soon follow. Thought it would seem God had a different plan in store for him. Chrno stared at the child of God and wished that he had never made the contract with her over four years ago.

"I'm sorry, Rosette. Forgive me for not allowing to let you live longer. I wish that we had more time." whispered the violet-haired demon.

Chrno stood up, took one last look at the one he loved, and walked away. Heart heavy with sadness and grief, Chrno the Sinner headed towards the convent to tell the ones he calls friends about the girl's death. He had left Rosette at the cabin because he couldn't bring himself to carry her to her old home. If he did that, his friends would think that she was still alive. He didn't want them to get their hopes up, so he didn't take the girl he loved the most with him to the convent.

He walked for what seemed like hours but in reality in was only thirty minutes. When the Order's building came into view, Chrno could see the destruction left by the "Crusaders". These people called themselves that only because Aion used Rosette's holy power as a means to cause chaos. This was the result. Buildings destroyed, lives lost, loved ones not found. The city was in utter ruin because of Aion and his purpose to over through God as he called it.

Taking a deep breath, Chrno walked towards the convent and slowly but surely opened the big wooden doors. Just as he headed towards Sister Kate's office, he heard a crash come from behind him. Turning, he found a girl with silver-white hair staring at he with wide red eyes. His friend and comrade he had not seen in six months, Azmaria Heindrich.

"Hey Az." said the twelve-year-old demon as he smiled sadly.

"Ch-Chrno? It is you."

The Apostle of Charity ran into the arms of her friend. As she cried, she wondered where the hot-headed nun whom she knew as a sister was. That was went Azmaria realized the sad but real truth. Her first true friend was dead. That was the only reason Chrno would be here without her.

"Come on, Chrno. Sister Kate will want to know what happened.

So tell me what you think. This is my first Story for Chrno (Chrono) Crusade. It is set at the end of the anime but will have some parts in the manga to it.
