Chapter two: stepping through the doors

It was one minute passed midnight and rosette was getting restless what the elder had told here earlier in his workshop made her more curious she had to find out what was behind those doors.

She crept out of bed barefoot and tiptoed down to her bedroom door trying not to wake the other nuns she opened the door and crept out without a sound the only sound she could hear was the distant sound of snoring she got to the hallway where the doors were rosette shivered it was strongly cold around that area.

Rosette crept closer until she was but a centimetre away from the door. Rosette gulped before placing a shacking hand on the cold metal and undone the lock the door made a clinking sound before it opened reviling only darkness rosette blinked.

"Maybe there is a light switch inside" She thought out loud as she entered a cold sensation washed over once again she shivered but carried on looking for that light switch.

"Haven't you heard of knocking first" said a cold unsettling voice from her left

Rosette turned her head to find a young looking boy with long purple hair, red eyes a head band around his forehead and his ears were slightly pointed. He was crunched up near a wall he looked at her with tired looking eyes

But what shocked rosette the most was the fact that this little boy was the one the order feared and he was imprisoned behind these doors what could a little boy do that was so terrible?

"Well! Why are you here and I don't think I've seen you before so who are you?" asked the boy

"Oh…yeah, my name is R…Rosette" Rosette replied there was something about this boy that made her uneasy but safe at the same time.

"Hmmm…I don't know anyone by the name of rosette are you new?" the boy asked

"Kind of I came to the order when I was eleven, four years ago since my parents died" replied rosette sadly

"I see, anyway get out of here you shouldn't be here..AHH" The boy gripped his side as a cold pain struck him.

Rosette came to him and crouched down placing her hand on his shoulder

"Are you okay, what's wrong" rosette asked

The boy didn't reply he only murmured to himself,

"It's happening again I swear this is ganna be the death of me, damn" he said

"What will be the death of you?" asked rosette concerned

The boy suddenly realised he wasn't alone

"Just leave me alone!" he cried

"No! Your hurt" replied rosette

"No! I'm not" lied the boy

"Yes you are you said so yourself" Cried rosette

The boy tried to refuse but his side stated to get worse he yelled just as rosette lifted his top, to find what looked like an old bullet hole with dried crusted blood around the edges the inside of the hole looked black and white clear liquid oozed out of the wound rosette gagged.

"Who the hell did this to you!" she asked

But the boy just winced in pain. Rosette needed to clean this wound and fast

She ripped off some of her clothing and started to wipe the wound, the boy batted her hand away and growled rosette flinched

"Look I need to clean this wound or it will get infected" Rosette said

The boy sighed as he realised she was trying to help him. Rosette wiped the wound until no blood was seen then rosette saw what looked like a bullet sill in the wound rosette had to get it out she gagged as she stuck the clothe in his wound and gripped hold of the bullet and forced it out the boy whined until rosette finally pulled out the old rusted bullet the boy seemed to sigh in relief as more white liquid oozed out of the wound rosette quickly wiped it away until it was no more but a hole she ripped of another bit of clothe a wrapped it around the boys wound.

"Um…thank…you" the boy said shyly

"It had to be done, who did this to you anyway" asked rosette

"That man err what's his name farther reminmton" replied Chrno

"You mean farther Remington" corrected rosette "and why would he shoot you he only shoots….oh" rosette finally realised the mistake she just made

The boy nodded "Yes I am what your thinking, I am Chrno the sinner one of the most powerful demons around until the order sealed me" Chrno replied narrowing his eyes and clenching his fists

Rosette was shocked

"You haven't tried to escape why there is a window there why don't you just climb out of it" She asked

"Don't think I haven't tried but that glass when it was being made was cooled down in holy water so it makes it harder to escape" Chrno replied

"Oh I see brrr…" rosette shivered the room seemed to be getting colder she felt some thing being wrapped around her it was a blanket she looked up to see Chrno leaning over her.

"Thank you Chrno" rosette said with a smile

"Yeah" replied Chrno before sitting back down

They stay there for about an hour talking about each other Chrno explained that Remington came in there to check on him and give him his food which was normally bread and water rosette asked why Remington didn't just kill him instead Chrno laughed and explained that hardly any holy weapon could kill him he also said that's why the elder comes in to experiment on him to see what's most effective rosette couldn't believe that she swore she could pain in the demons eyes how cruel? She thought.

The sun started to come up and rosette had to get going.

"I've got to go I'm not meant to be here remember" she said as she was about to turn she felt something soft but cold on her hand she looked down to find Chrno looking up at her.

"You will come back wont you rosette" asked Chrno

Rosette smiled and nodded "of cause I will"
