School Story

Foreword: :sigh: Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. I've only gotten a few reviews so far for my latestt chapter. Oh well, I've dug myself in to deep to do anything about it.

Enjoy

Chapter 5

The men didn't let go of Rosette's arm, but their grip loosened. The dragged Rosette after the man and Chrono.

Rosette was still in a state of shock. Her eyes wide and un-seeing. 'It's like at the ripped apart...'

Meanwhile

The man, Lerajie, opened the door to the main building. Chrono's eye's widened. The hallways had been ripped apart. The walls where crumbling, doors pulled off their hinges, furniture smashed.

"Looks like home, doesn't it Chrono?" Asked Lerajie, smirking. Chrono said nothing, he just continued walking.

Lerajie walked into Sister Kate's office. He walked over to the records cabinet. He glanced over his shoulder.

"Are you mad at me Chrono? Because I wouldn't let you run away? I'm only doing my job." He said.

Chrono glared. "I told you and Aion that when I left the resistance, it was for good." He said angrily. Lerajie threw a book at Chrono. He caught it.

"Well, you might want to brush up on the conduct." Said Lerajie. "Oh, that girl, Rosette, her last name's Christopher, isn't it?" He asked, glancing over his shoulder again.

Chrono glared. Lerajie grinned. "I thought so." He muttered, pulling out a record. It had a picture of Rosette on it. But, while Lerajie was reading, Chrono had snuck over to the desk and grabbed a pen. He scribbled something in the book.

'Now I need to figure out a way to get this to Rosette.'

With Rosette

The men lead her into a classroom. The flung her roughly into it, and locked the door from the outside. She lay in a heap, clearly still in shock. Her mind snapped back and she bolted to the door. She pounded on the heavy wood.

"Let me out! LET ME OUT!" She yelled.

Chrono whirled around. 'Rosette? I swear I heard her.' He thought. Lerajie laughed.

"The little wench is being kept in the room next to ours." He said, smirking. Chrono stood there for a minute, listening to Rosette's screaming. He frowned.

"May I step outside for a second?" He asked. Lerajie nodded.

"There's guards everywhere, it's not like you can run." He said, sitting down on the desk, reading Rosette's profile.

Chrono slid out of the room. He walked silently down the hallway untill he reached the door to Rosette's room. There was a hole in the wall close to the floor. He looked both ways and saw a pair of guards coming twords the door. He shoved the book through the hole and stood up straight.

"Hey, this room is restricted." Said one of them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that." He said crisply.

Rosette's face lit up. "Chrono! Izat you!? Get me out of here!" She yelled. Chrono winced.

"Sorry Rosette." He whispered, walking back twords the office, flanked by the two guards.

Rosette's face fell. "Chrono?" She yelled, not getting an answer. She slid down against the door. "It must be around midnight by now." She thought to herself.

She looked at the door. "Damn door." She muttered. Her hand brushed against the book. She raised her eyebrows and picked it up.

The book was plain, leather bound, and black. She opened the cover. She gasped at the writing on the front cover.

'Rosette,

This should explain something about what's going on. I'm trying to figure out a way to get you out. STAY CALM!

-Chrono'

She looked at the book again. "How can this help? It's just a book..." She said, but flipped to the front page, only te realize it was a journal/ notebook/ diary/ just about everything. On the title page, it read 'The Aion Resistance Force, Member Chrono Astral' Rosette blinked. "Chrono was part of the resistance force?" She asked airily.

The resistance force was run by a man named Aion. He wanted to become a sort of super dictator. By doing so, he wanted to gain the powers of the legendary '7 Apostles'. He had attacked countless schools and churches to find them.

People tried to stop them, but the were killed instantly. The Catholic children, like Rosette and Azmaria, where raised to fear the resistance force.

Rosette flipped nervously to the first page. The handwriting was sloppy, but it was obviously Chrono's handwriting.

'The man that found me brought me to this place. He said now I'll have a place to live, but I'm not so sure. They keep asking me questions. Weird questions. But, I guess it's only natural for me to not understand.

I've only seen one girl here so far. Her name is Magdalene. She was really nice, and she didn't ask me questions. Only one, though. She asked me if I knew anyone with the last name Christopher. I don't, so she just smiled and said something to the man she was with. He didn't look happy.

So he sent me in here to wait. I hope they don't get mad at me.'

Rosette had to stop there. "It doesn't make any sense." She said, leaning against the door. "Okay, let's see what I know so far. This is obviously Chrono talking. We know he was taken from somewhere. He met a lady named Magdalene. And...HOLLY CRAP! Christopher?! No way, that can't be my family." She said, banging her head softly against the door.

She flipped to the next page.

'The people told me that I should keep track of what happens in this book, and write down things they tell me to. I'm afraid of them, so I do what they say.

I met someone named Aion today. He runs this place. He seemed really nice. Magdalene is his wife, as I found out. They want me to help them. I'm not sure what they want me to do, but they said I will stay safe.'

Rosette frowned. "He sounds pretty young..." She started at loud knocking on the door.

"What?" She snapped. Lerajie stepped in.

"Hello Rosette Christopher." He said, smirking.

"You know my name." She said bluntly.

"And many other things." He said, sighing. "But all for not. That impudent boy refuses to cooperate untill he's sure you're safe." He said, moving over a bit to reveal Chrono standing behind him. He walked behind him. "You have ten minutes, starting now." He said, shoving Chrono into the room, bolted the door, and walked back into the office.

Chrono stumbled into the room and tripped over a desk, falling flat on his face. He sat up, rubbing his nose.

Rosette was looking at him like he was the bloody ghost of Christmas past. He smiled timidly. "Rosette?" He asked.

She looked at the notebook. "You where a part of the resistance?"

"I didn't have any choice! My parents abandoned me and I had nowhere else to go!"

"But the resistance?!"

"I was only 6! What was I supposed to do?!" He said, shaking his head. Rosette shook her head, wiping at her eyes.

'I will not cry.' "Where you talking about, me?" She asked,

"What do you mea...oh. You and Joshua...don't even bother asking why, because I don't know." He said bitterly.

Rosette crawled over to him from her seat on the ground. "I'm sorry. I'm just confused and upset." She said.

Chrono sighed. "It's my fault..." He mumbled.

"No, it's not your fault. They just have REALLY bad timing." She said, smiling. Chrono couldn't help smiling back.

Gunshot could be heard outside. Rosette and Chrono rushed to the window.

Outside

A little elementary school girl was running twords the gaping hole in the wall. The men where catching up to her guns out. Rosette pounded on the glass.

"WATCH OUT!" She screamed, but it was to late. Another gunshot was heard, and the girl fell. Rosette watched in horror as blood started forming on the girl's dress.

Rosette started to cry again. Chrono sighed and hugged her, letting her cry.

The thought didn't even occur to him that it'd been over ten minutes...

TBC...

Author's Note: Sorry for the short chapter. I'm not going to go any further till I read Vol.2 of Chrono Crusade, which I just got today. Anyways, if anyone wanted to know, I have an AOL IM screen name ir anyone wants to talk to me. I'm on most of the time. It's bishieFANgurl763
