Whisper

+Tick+

"Chrono!"

+Tick+

Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
this truth drives me
into madness
I know I can stop the pain
if I will it all away

I hear her voice in my head…she's calling for me to help her…to save her from herself.

Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)

+Tick+

"Chrono…please…!"

Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)

I see her dying in my arms. I feel her chest breathe its last breath. Why must I watch her suffer? Why can't it be different…why must it be like this?

"Chrono…I-I love you…I always have…and I always will."

I'm frightened by what I see
but somehow I know
that there's much more to come

+Tick+

"Rosette…please…stay with me!"

+Tick+

"I want to…oh, god…I'm so…"

+Tick+

Immobilized by my fear
and soon to be
blinded by tears
I can't stop the pain
I can't will it all away

I want her to live. I want to be with her forever…she's my angel…my saving grace…my hope…my faith…my…everything.

+Tick+

"Chrono…do you…l-love me…?"

"I-I do…you know I do…"

She's smiling as the tears stream down her cheeks. The sun is setting…the golden light is dimming…and so is the life in her eyes…

Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)

"Chrono…"

"Yes?"

"M-my life…was…fulfilling…it was…because…I was with you."

"Rosette…"

"I can feel it slipping…I'm slipping…"

"No…fight it…try to fight it…maybe…"

She shakes her head. Her soft blonde hair moves slightly with her head.

"It won't. I knew this would come, but…I'm so…afraid…"

I hug her close.

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me
Shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet the end

Why did this have to happen...especially to her. She didn't deserve this…torture. Her soul is in agony…the clock is pulling on it…it's pulling to give up.

+Tick+

"Goodbye…C-Chrono…"

"No! Please don't go…stay with me!"

"I-I want to…oh…how I want to…"

Tears form in my eyes and drop onto her soft skin. She smiles at looks at them. She lifts of finger shakily and wipes the tears from my eyes.

"Don't. Don't cry for me…"

"How can't I?"

+Tick+

+Tick+

+Tick+

"Rosette…?"

+Tick+

"I love you, Chrono…"

+Tick+

"ROSETTE…DON'T GIVE UP…YOU CAN'T GIVE UP….!"

Servatis a pereculum

+Tick+

"Please…Chrono…live…on…for…me…"

Servatis a maleficum

"I won't…your soul is mine…and my soul is yours…"

Rosette smiles and her eyes close. I hug her closer and I feel her start to shake with fear.

+Tick+

"I will join you soon…"

I whisper in her ear. She doesn't respond and I watch the clock as it starts to get dim.

"I will be with you forever…I promise…forever…"

+Tick+

+Tick+

+Tick+

+Tick+

+Click+

"Forever…"
