1School Story
Disclaimer: I own nothing...SO STOP MAKING ME SAY IT DANGIT!
Foreword: I just realized last night that this story has 70 reviews! I almost had a heart attack! I'm so happy! I never thought the story would become this popular. I'm hoping that I'll get to 100 reviews before the end of this story.
And for those of you who are going to start asking for a sequel, I've decided that this is going to be a trilogy! THis is the first in a three part series! I know what I want to happen and when, so now all I have to do is write it!
So, please tell your friends to read and continue reading yourself! I'm planning on saying more at the end, so I'll shut up so you can read the chapter.
Chapter 9
Rosette closed her eyes tighter. The sun was shining directly in her eyes. She groaned, pulling the blanket over her head. She gave up after a moment. She sighed, pulled the blanked down from her head and opened her eyes.
She wished she hadn't.
Up till now, she had COMPLETLY forgotten that she and Chrono were sharing the bed. Hell, it was kinda hard to ignore now! Chrono had his arms around her waist, his head resting on her shoulder. She, much to her embarrassment, had her arms around his neck.
If she moved, he'd wake up, and then she'd have to jump out the window.
'Okay Rosette, don't let your mind go in the gutter. Think clean thoughts...BUT HE'S SO CUTE! Crap.' She thought, sighing inwardly. 'I've known him for what, 2-3 days and I've already got a crush on him! Oooooh, Az will give me HELL!'
Chrono yawned, opening his eyes sleepily. "G'morning Rosette." He said, obviously not fully awake.
'Hell, this can't get any worse. Go with the flow!' Thought Rosette. "Morning Chrono." She said.
Chrono finally noticed the position they were in. He yelped, letting go. He got out of the bed hurriedly, a deep red. "I...I'm sorry!" He stuttered.
"S'okay." Said Rosette, sitting up. "I was actually quite comfy." She said, smirking.
Chrono's blush deepened. "Uh..."
Rosette laughed. "You're so shy." She said, standing up. She went over to the basket. "Let's see here..." She said, picking up the map.
Chrono regained his composure and walked over to her, looking at the map from over her shoulder. "Fiore gave that to us. We also have a skeleton key." He said, pulling the key out of his pocket.
"Awsome! Now we can start making a plan." Said Rosette, pulling out a marker from the closet.
"To..."
"Escape of course! Fiore here has given us a way out! We have a map and a key! We can break everyone else out too!" She said excitedly.
Chrono smiled lightly. "Maybe this will work." He said. Rosette walked twords the door.
"Alright! We're going explor..."
"Good morning my captives." Said Lerajie, standing in the doorway. Since Rosette had her back to him, she quickly crammed the map into the bottom of the basket with the key. She whirled around.
"Good morning creature from hell." She said. Chrono tried not to laugh.
"Ah, well, it's not to far from the truth." Said Lerajie, shrugging. Rosette's eyes narrowed.
"Excuse me?" She said, looking at him strangely.
"Ah, I see there are still things about the resistance Mr. Astral hasn't told you yet." He said, grinning. "I'll leave you two be now." He said, walking out, closing the door behind him.
"Damn him! Is he TRYING to put us at each other's throats?!" Said Chrono angrily, his hands clenched into fists.
"He probably is." Said Rosette. "But if we both keep our heads and stick together, that's not happening." She said, grinning. Chrono sighed.
"Yeah, you're right. I just...really don't like him." Said Chrono, glaring at the door.
"Now what did he mean by what he said?" Asked Rosette, making the beds as she talked.
Chrono sighed. "Well, he's right. Except not from hell." He said, sitting down in one of the chairs.
"Ooookay, care to verify that?" She said.
He sighed. "It's a long story..." He said reluctantly.
"We've got all the time in the world." Said Rosette, sitting on the bed.
"Oh alright. The resistance is an elite force of, to be blunt, murderers, assassins, etc. But, there aren't many members. Most people wonder how can such a small resistance pose such a great threat? Well, the answer is, the members are only half human." He said, stopping to see Rosette's reaction.
Rosette's eyes widened. She nodded for him to go on.
"The leader, Aion, is a devil. He's the only pure blooded devil on earth, making him INSANELY powerful and intimidating. There are a few half-devils in the world, but they have to be found young.
Aion has all the time in the world. So he gathers those who display devil like qualities and put them through a series of tests to verify if they have any devil blood in them. You keeping up so far?" He asked. Rosette nodded vigorously.
"Alright. In the group of 10 that I was in, I was the only one who displayed the qualities Aion was after. Once they had enough proof that I had the qualities, they did more tests to confirm their beliefs." He said.
"And?" Asked Rosette breathlessly.
"I'm half devil. The devil in me comes from my father's side of the family." He said.
Rosette nodded. "So, the resistance is only made up of people such as yourself that have devil blood in them." She said.
"Yeah. You kept up, nice job." He said sarcastically. "I half expected you to go berserk and start hitting me or something." He said.
"Naw. You're Chrono. Devil or not, I'm not changing my opinion of you." She said, smiling.
Chrono smiled. "That's good to hear Rosette." He said.
"Okay, but, if you're a devil, or part devil at least, why don't you have any powers?" She asked.
Chrono reached behind his head and unclasped a chain that was around his neck. A pocket watch was on the chain. ((enter the pocket watch! dum dum dum!)) He handed it to her. There was a meter on it.
"Okay, what's this?" She asked, studying it.
"Obviously it's a watch. It's used to keep track of how much energy I have. That meter has to be over 50 for my powers to start working." He said.
Rosette looked more closely. The meter started at 0 and went up to 99 in tens. So the meter went: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 99.
"Why doesn't it go to 100?" Asked Rosette.
"A half devil can never have 100 power, so it only goes to 99." He said.
"Okay, what determines the energy amount?"
"Emotions. If I get really angry or frustrated, the meter goes up. Sadness does the same thing. Negative emotions mostly. Positive emotions just stay regular, no powers." He said.
"Okay, then why didn't you blow Lerajie to pieces when he took over the school?" She said, still studying the watch.
"See that button on the top?" He asked.
Rosette looked. "Yeah."
"That button has to be pressed by someone other then myself when the meter is over 50. I can't activate my own powers. It can't be another devil either. You see, back when Magdalene was alive, she was Aion contractor. That means that she was the one who could unleash his powers." He said.
Rosette nodded slightly. "So basically you're just a normal human without a contractor." She said thoughtfully.
Chrono nodded.
"Chrono, what are the conditions for being a contractor?" She asked.
It took Chrono a moment to catch up. "Woah woah, wait a second, are you saying what I think you're saying?" He said.
She nodded. "Chrono, could I be your contractor?"
TBC...
Author's Note: Well, I said I wasn't going to make him a devil, but I changed my mind. It gave me something more to write with. If you're confused as to what the HECK is going on, just e-mail me and ask for me to explain it to you.
In my version, contractor's don't get their lives shortened by unleashing the seal. It's just dangerous for a reason I'm not saying untill the next chapter.
Well, please R&R! Remember, I'm aiming for 100 reviews before the end of the first part of the trilogy.
Oh yeah! I got a review that said I didn't mention Joshua! Please be patient! He will be coming in at the end of the first part of the trilogy. I'm going to re-name this fic when I'm done.
I haven't decided on the titles, but here's the basic plot for the last two fics in the series:
Part 2:
Chrono, Rosette, and Azmaria go in search of the other Apostles. They have to beat Aion to them. He already has Joshua.
Part 3:
Final Battle! Rosette and the apostles she found against Aion's apostles! Showdown in Pandemonium!
Well, remember to please R&R!
