Chapter Two

At Gun Point

Rosa was staring into the eyes of her brother's killer. They were pale, and almost blue. He was an albino. She read about them many times but never actually saw a human one. There eyes locked on to each other for only a moment before the albino pointed his gun at her.

"Where is the keystone?" His question rang through her head. The keystone... The key to the grail... How did he know about it? She felt panic overcome her. Thank God Katie was at her grandparent's house... The child would've been terrified. Rosa lifted her gun and pointed at him.

"You are not one of us,"She said cooly,"You will destroy her."Rosa cocked the gun, but moved to oen side as the large great dane came flying down the stairs and bit Silas on the thigh as if he knew the cilice was there. Rosa made a run for it down the stairs, passed Silas.

In such rage and anger, Silas threw the dog off him with inhuman strength. The woman was running. Though the belt slowed him down, he grabbed her arm and shoved her against the wall. Her head hurt. She opened her eyes to the albino's piercing eyes staring at her own. His eyes held a burning anger and hatred that almost hurt her to look at. His hands were pinning her arms down so sje couldn't escape.

"You will not destroy the Grail,"Rosa spat at him,"Nor will I tell you where it is!"She said. Silas slammed her against the wall, causing Rosa to gasp in pain.

"You will tell me where it is even if i have to drag to by your hair."He hissed at her.

--------

Silas dragged the woman to the car and pushed her in. Her head was hurting, almsot burning as he entered the car and started the egnition. She only agreed to tell him if she could go with him.

"Saint Sulpice.."She uttered. The black Audi sped down the road. About 20 minuntes later, the car stopped. She felt her body being tugged out of the car by force. The monk pulled her out of the car. Rosa felt her head spinning as she was dragged up the steps of the large Church.

Sandrine... She thought. The sister was in danger. The large wooden doors were pushed open. Silas let Rosa go, who ran off ina different direction. He would catch her later. The nun greeted the large albino with suspicion.

---------------------------

Rosa fled up the stairs. She would not watch. Instead, she found Sandrine's room. The window was far to high from the ground. No way to jump. Rosa looked at the closet. Hide... She thought. She opened and closed the door of the closet. Moments past and Rosa thought everything was done... When she heard rushed footsteps come up the stairs, Sister Sandrine hurried over to her desk, calling the four numbers Rosa knew by heart. Rosa's heart nearly stopped.

"Hang up the phone."The albino said. He held the fake keystone. All ina flash of words and anger, Rosa saw the sister's body laying there on the floor, blood and all. The Monk was praying something... His cold eyes then looked at the closet. Rosa gulped.

-----------------------------

Sandrine didn't like to be awoken at such late hours. When she greeted the monk, she was almost frightened of his hulking figure. She instantly knew why Opus Dei had sent him. She only prayed that it wasn't too late for the last Senechaux...

It lies beneath the Roseline...

Rosa...

Roseline...

Rosaline.

Sandrine made her way back to her room as quickly as she could. Each of the numbers she dialed were not answering... The last one left an answering Machine.

"Hi, this is Rosa and Kate. We're either not at home or just away from the phone right now. Please leave a message!" Rosa's sweet voice... She remembered the young woman. Sandrine prayed that she was the only one who knew...

"Hang up the phone."

-------------------------------------
Silas opened the closet door and grabbed the woman by the arm, and flung her down next to the nun's body. The woman nearly choked. Silas threw down the stone in pure rage.

"Where is it?!"He shouted. She was silent.

In such blind rage he picked her up by the throat.. Her skin was soft.. and warm. Fear pulsed through ehr body as he threw her down on the desk.
-------------------------------
"You will not succeed." She said, hatred in her voice. Rosa's green eyes locked back onto his once more. The albino frightened her. His huge body could crush her in one blow like he did to the nun. In his rage, he grabbed her throat again and shoved her against the cold wall. His grip was crushing her windwipe. She choked.

"Tell me where it is."He said.

"If ...you... kill me... now, you...you... won't know."Rosa said through gasps. He released his grip on her throat.
