Chapter four: One way out
"Well I don't have all night you know" the voice exclaimed
Rosette still didn't dare turn around.
"Come on spit it out" the voice sounded angry
Rosette started to turn around slowly while laughing nervously until she came face to face with the one that caught her…it was Chrno; rosette was stunned but relived at the same time.
"Oh…hi Chrno what a coincidence to see you out here at the same time" Rosette said nervously
Chrno raised an eye brow "Yes I suppose it is"
The two of them stood in silence for a second. Rosette was trying to come up with an excuse what to tell him but nothing came to mind, she sighed she would just had to tell him the truth. She opened her mouth to speak but Chrno beat her to it.
"If your trying to escape, you do know you're going the wrong way" Chrno exclaimed
Rosette suddenly went cross eyed, what did he just say? Is he trying to help her?
"Say what?" Rosette asked confused
"I said if you want to escape your going…"
"Yes, yes I know what you said" interrupted rosette "But why are you helping me if you are helping me?"
"To be honest with you, I don't blame you for trying to escape in fact I want to help you" Chrno explained
"Really?" beamed Rosette
Chrno nodded "Come with me the only way out is through Aion's office he has a trap door that leads down to an underground tunnel that leads out to the city". He explained
Rosette nodded and started following Chrno
"Why are you helping me Chrno" Rosette asked
"I believe young children shouldn't be kept as a bargaining chip that's all" Chrno replied
"Huh? What do you mean" Rosette asked
As Chrno was about to answer they herd footsteps behind them.
"Quick hide behind me" Chrno panicked as he dragged Rosette behind him just as Genai appeared.
"Hey Chrno did you hear a noise just now?" Genai asked
"Yes I did" replied Chrno
"What!" Rosette thought to herself just her luck Chrno is going to turn her in after all
"I have already checked this area out already nothing here but I think I heard something moving over there in the west wing I was about to check it out" Chrno said
He was about to move when Genai stopped him in his tracks.
"Don't worry Chrno I'll check it out you stay here just encase they come back here" exclaimed Genai
Chrno nodded and watched as he left before turning around to face rosette who breathed out in relief.
"We better hurry now all the others have heard us there will be guards everywhere now" he exclaimed
"Okay" agreed Rosette
So the duo walked into the shadows Chrno always leading while Rosette followed sometimes ducking into corners or hiding behind Chrno every time someone approached them until at long last they have reached their destination.
"We're here" Chrno whispered
Rosette looked to find a white door with the words "MAIN OFFICE" engraved on to a golden platter which was nailed into the door.
Chrno dug into his pocket and pulled out a set of about sixteen keys after a minuet Chrno had finally found the right key and unlocked the door.
"It's clear, come on in Rosette" called Chrno
Rosette came into the office to find a single desk along with a computer and a long pile of paper and a dirty cup that looked like it had been there for a while.
"Come on Rosette this way" called Chrno
Rosette turned to find Chrno holding open a small door in the corner next to the bookcase.
"What! I have to crawl though there" cried Rosette
"Err… yeah I'm sorry Rosette It's the only way" Chrno exclaimed
Rosette sighed and dropped on her hands and knees and started to go through the door when a thought struck her how about Sarah?
"Oh no Chrno we have to go back and get Sarah" Rosette exclaimed
Chrno was about to speak but someone else beat him to it
"Don't worry I've already done that for you" said a voice rosette knew it was Aion
Rosette heard someone whining it sounded like Sarah! Quickly rosette got to her feet to see Sarah squirming in Aion's hands
"Let Sarah go!" exclaimed Rosette
"Now why would I do that after all she is my top spy" laughed Aion Sarah too started laughing and started changing into a woman with brown short hair with glasses and cat ears.
"Shader!" hissed Chrno
"What? I don't understand" Rosette said confused
"I'm sorry dear it's nothing to do with you it's to do with Chrno to see if he truly is a traitor" Aion explained
"So you used a child!" shouted Chrno
"Tell me Chrno what happened to the one who wanted to help me to be free for all of us to be free!" Aion shouted back
"I don't want anything to do with it if you are going to use human children to do your bidding that's just sick!" Chrno barked
"No Chrno the way the humans treated us was sick I can't believe how soft you have become you truly are useless" Aion spat
Rosette gasped she looked up at Chrno who was turning red in anger he gritted his teeth and clenched his fist as he went to strike Aion who went flying Chrno then grabbed hold of Shader and threw her at the bookcase which collapsed on top of her.
Rosette put her hand on her mouth she had never seen Chrno like this
"Hurry Rosette go though the door I'll be right behind you" Chrno called
Rosette who was still a little stunned nodded and went through
Crawling though the tunnel she could hear Chrno's heavy breathing behind her
The tunnel seemed to go on forever and it was getting hotter and hotter and rosette was starting to get thirsty, until at long last she saw the light she yelled in joy and quickly moved to it before falling over.
"Oh fudge" she cursed
As she tried to get up but she just fell down again.
"Are you okay?" called Chrno from behind
"Yes I'm fine" Rosette called back
She tried again and again but still no luck that's when it finally struck her she was truly stuck…
