ENDING A
Chrno gasped and spit out some blood. The sword was directly rammed through his heart. His vision began to blur immensely. He growled at Remington.
The blonde man smirked at him and twisted the sword causing Chrno to scream. His smirk widened. "Did you know that holy blades dipped into holy water are very effective against demons?" He snarled close to Chrno's ear.
The demon's eyes widened. If it had been a normal blade, he could have had a chance, but even with horns healing wounds caused by holy objects would be difficult. Without horns it was his doom.
With last powers he flexed his claws and longed for Remington with them. Remington got caught on his shoulder and hissed. He put more pressure on the blade and Chrno winced.
A knock was heard on the door and it startled them both.
"Some last words to say?" Remington growled.
"Keep your hands away from her." Chrno snapped back. More blood was coming out of his mouth.
"No."
Seconds before the door popped open, Remington withdrew his sword and jumped out of the window.
The blade that had kept the blood from flowing out of the wound, had vanished now, and everything came out.
Chrno coughed heavily and spit out more blood.
Rosette stood in the doorway and stared at Chrno. She hadn't seen Remington and assumed one of his wounds had broken again by itself. He had been terribly injured after all.
She screamed his name and rushed by his side.
He brushed the blood sucked bangs out of his face and stroke over his cheek. "Don't die, don't die, don't die…" She whispered panicked.
Then she started screaming for help and cried.
It took too long until she was noticed, but the one who found her hurried to get a doctor immediately.
Rosette clutched his hand, wishing for him, praying for him.
Chrno couldn't breathe right anymore. His lungs filled with blood. The damaged heart wasn't working right anymore.
Water falls of tears were strolling down Rosette's cheeks. She embraced her beloved one and spoke to him.
Chrno tried several time to answer her, but it just did not work. He wanted to tell her so many things… That he loved her and that he wanted to be with her forever. Also that Remington had been the evil one and did this to him… So many words he wanted to say, but in the end he spoke none.
It hurt him to see Rosette crying over him.
He lifted his arm and stroke over her head. "Live…" He croaked into her ear before he passed away.
Rosette stared at him for a moment before a terrible scream escaped her lips.
She did not notice the tumult that was to be created around her when other people entered the room as well.
Her brother carried her away and into her own room. She had already seen so much misery. He wanted to spare it to her.
Even days afterwards Rosette still was in a state of deep sadness and lamenting. Who would not be? But her family was there for her. Her brother was the best. He did everything for her to make her feel better. Unfortunately that was not really possible. Remington also tried his best. And to be honest he could be a really nice person when he talked to her. (the evil bastard .)
Sathella's and Fiore's funeral was on that day as well. It made Rosette feel even worse.
To make her feelings worse than worse Aion appeared the next day, announcing that he had found Chrno's horns. When he was told what had happened, he fell to his knees, screamed and cried. His only twin… the only one who had been left of his family… Sadly he asked how he had died. "At least he could die with a dear person close to him…" He said sadly.
It made Rosette get a cry attack again.
More days had passed and soon it was a week and then one more.
"How are you feeling today, Rosette?" Remington asked her with a wide smile.
"I am of good hope." Rosette replied sharply and snorted. (AN: I hope you know what 'good hope' stands for) She hated the way Remington kept talking to her even though he wasn't even interested in what she was saying.
This time it was the same. He didn't listen to her. Remington only good the word "hope" and "good" in one sentence and guessed she was fine and hoped that everything would be okay from now on.
More weeks passed by…
Today had been her 16th birthday and the God damn marriage… Vinsent had suggested her to marry soon because it would give her other thoughts. Rosette had neither agreed to that suggestion nor protested. What was her life worth now anyways? "Live" he had said to her, but how could she live without him?
Rosette had stayed emotionless all the time. Directly after the ceremony in the evening she ran away.
Rosette stumbled through the ankle deep snow. Soon she arrived at the clearing. The 20cm high platform with the gravestone was placed in the middle of it. That had surely been one of Chrno's last wishes if he had been able to tell it. Although his body had burst to dust… They still had left the horns to bury there.
Staring sadly at it Rosette stood there for quite a long time. It was already dark now. Her legs began to shake and finally they gave in. The girl sunk to her knees, then to her bottom. With her last will power she forced herself to creep towards the gravestone. With her torso she lay down on the platform right next to the gravestone, her lower body was still touching the icy cold ground. Her head rested on her crossed arms and she began to weep quietly.
After a while it began to snow again. A thin white layer was created on her. She did not care. She also didn't care that she wasn't able to feel her limbs anymore because of the cold.
Once someone had said that you will die when you fall asleep in a snow storm…
With a peaceful smile Rosette closed her eyes and slowly drifted off into the ever-lasting sleep.
She died and with her the child she was carrying under her heart. ("Good hope" means as much as pregnant)
Mary sat in heaven between the clouds and looked sadly down to the scene.
"He promised her to stay,
Soon his body will decay.
She can't stop thinking of him.
Her mood, it is so dim.
He told her to live on.
Now, she's also gone.
Remember the good times
And listen to my rhymes.
The fate, it was foreseen,
Though, that end was mean.
They did their tasks very well,
There's nothing bad I can tell.
Meant to be together,
A dark and a white feather.
Their love was oh so strong,
Now both of them are gone.
Against her parent's will,
She was together with him still.
Their love it did not fail
With him she cast off moon's veil.
Remington did not play fair,
Hater her affair,
Made short process
And created a big mess.
The poor girl left behind
Only him in mind.
The piece of him in her
Still growing bit by bit
But in the end she could not resist
Killing herself and their kid.
END
AN: To the poem:
Moon's veil: In Greek myths Dana/Diana whatever, was the queen of the moon. She was also the queen of virginity. Following: to cast moon's veil off can mean to lose virginity =3 I got that from Romeo and Juliet =3
