Little Rose was fast asleep in her small bedroom. It was a one bedroom one bathroom home. Little Rose woke up to the sound of her parents shouting and fighting. She pulled her blankets over her head hoping to drown out the yelling. Andt hen the yelling stopped, and a familiar voice wailed.
"We'll never be happy again."
Rose opened her eyes, and found herself back in Dustys house. She saw that Caden and Dusty were sitting rather uncomfortably across from each other at the table. She could hear them speaking to one another. The first voice she heard was Cadens.
"As soon as she wakes up, we're leaving."
Dustys voice, who sounded as serious as she heard before her blackout.
"No, Rose can't go, not in her condition. Whatever is wrong with her, it's bad. From what you've told me, it's now starting to get worse, and it's only going to escalate."
Caden sighed, then said. "Fine, fine. So what do you propose we do then?"
There was a pause before Dusty answered.
"I'm not sure, but I'll figure something out. But until then, I don't suggest you start explaining yourself, Illager."
"So long as you don't fly another arrow at me, I'll talk... Me and my unit were sent here, our focus was the Camper Village."
"I knew it!" Exclaimed Dusty, "It was you! You and your messed up clan! You destroyed the village! What are your plans with Rose, you are your intentions with her?!"
At that, Rose found herself springing out of bed and running up to a surprised Dusty.
"You leave him alone! He's trying to help!"
Both Dusty and Caden shared the same look of surprise. Dusty spoke, in calmer voice.
"Rose take it easy, it's okay. But Caden is not who you think he is."
"Neither are you, " Rose said, in a low dangerous voice she never knew she had.
"I saw what was in the basement, maps, charts, looking for the Devils Book! And Lord above, you shot Caden!"
She turned to Caden, who was now covering the side of the tear in his jacket. Before she could say anything, Caden spoke.
"You're not well, lie back down."
"Not until I get answers." Rose protested, and she turned to face Dusty.
"Dusty, you seem like a really good person, but I need to know, what is the Dev-!"
Suddenly put his hand over her mouth. To which Caden responded by slapping the hand harshly away.
"Get your fucking hand off her!" He shouted.
Dusty shook his hand that Caden hit, like he was playing an invisible Psaltery crazily. He looled at both Caden and Rose, and whispered.
"I don't think it's important, for your situation, anyway. And I think you should sit down, you shouldn't be getting worked up."
Rose was having none of it. Despite feeling embarrassed yelling at both men. She continued.
"Dusty, I mean it. Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't want to rest under the same roof with someone who has interests in the Devil's Bible."
At that, Dusty looked at her. His eyes glaring almost harshly. After a long moment, he sighed.
"Very well then, if it will make you feel better, I'll show you."
Dusty led Rose down into the basement, Caden skeptically following behind. Dusty lit up some torches in the room, as he did. He explained.
"I only call it the Devils book, because it is a shadow of the peace book."
He turned to both of them and asked.
"Have either of you heard a book called, the Chinozzue?"
Caden spoke up. "The book of all good? What of it?"
Dusty glared at Caden, and said. "I suspected you know of the book? Beings the fact that your kind tried to steal it at one point."
Caden gritted his teeth and was about say something when Rose asked.
"What is going on? What is this 'Chinozzue?' "
Dusty sighed, and answered.
"Well, get ready because you're about to find out."
