Magdalene Mansion
Mary stir the stew as the other cooks and maids rushed back and forth for tonights bounquiet. She rasied the spoon to her lips to make sure the stew's taste was okay. Smiling, she grab the bowel set out and pour some of the beef stew into it and set it on a tray with some buns and fruits and a glass of milk. The young blonde picked it up and made her way to the base floor.
Chrno was laying on the small dirtied bed there in hnis room, attempting to sleep bit knowing Sakkyou was out right now finding some young girl for him to make a contract with. He cringe felling sorry for the brunette he killed not to long ago. If he only had his horns...
Sighing, Chrno moved onto his back hands behind his head as he wore his tatter brown cloak. He had been with the Magdalane Mafia family for almost 150 years, serving as their damn fighting dog. The reason for the loss of his horns were that he was sent to slaughter a rival of the Magdalene family 137 years ago and lost control to the blood lost and ended slaughtering those that he worked for.
A door sliding open pulled Chrno out of his thoughts and sat up. He saw a long blonde hair female come do the stairs. It was Mary Magdalene, Sakkyou's only child.
"You shouldn' be here." Growled Chrno, laying back down. "Your Father will be upset." There was no kindness in his voice. It sent shivers down Mary's back.
The 19 year said nothing, but continue down the steps until she hit the last one and walked to set the tray on Chrno's table near his bed. "He's out at the moment," Mary said lowly. "Besides, it's not that he knows I go and visit you time to time." Chrno said nothing. "I mean he caught here the first time when I was seven."
The Devil open up one blood red eye to see the young adult standing next to his bed. He had watch this pale beauty grow up into the woman she was now, but he didn't get attach. He knew she could never be his, but Mary saw differently of course.
"Chrno..."
Chrno open up his other eye and watch in startlement as Mary suddenly kneeled down next to him and press soft lips to his headband around his forehead. They had a very odd yet what seemed to be a romantic relationship.
"Magdalene..." Chrno began to feel his heart hammer against his chest.
"I'm going to set you free one day." Whispered Mary into his ears. A shiver went down the Devil's back. "I'm going to get that collar off and set you free." Warm tears slide down her cheeks.
Chrno didn't know what to do since he hardly had contact with anyone, but slowly, he put his arms around her and held Mary to him.
(1:05 p.m)
WolfWood Apartment
"Rosette, this is the second time you've ditch school!" A scolding Aiden shouted. "First Friday then Saturday school!" Rosette just tip back in her chair, listening to the music blaring through her headphones.
"Rosette! ROSETTE!"
No response.
Aiden growled and threw up her hands into the air. "I give up!" She muttered about to stalk out of the room. A blue small dragon smaller then a football with a very long tail, slit open an orange eye as he laid on Rosette's bed.
"Purrr?"
Rosette took off one of the headphones. "Say something, Twitch?" She asked.
Aiden banged her head against the doorframe. "I. Hate. You."
The 16 year old blonde blinked. "What's up with you?" She asked, dropping her chair back on all fours and stood up. This time, Rosette wore faded black jean shorts and a dark blue hooded jacket with the sleeves cut short as her blonde hair was gather in a small pony tail. Rosette stuck her hands into the pouch in the front of her jacket.
"Rosette, you've skipped school for two days!"
"No I haven't," Rosette reached into her pack and drew out a sandwich. "I'm not skipping school, just the classes I have for Pr. Kate."
Aiden gave a deadpan look. "You don't even have her! She's the bloody principle!"
Rosette blink as she swallow the piece of sandwich she had in her mouth. "Oh! I thought I did have her for the whole day." She smiled teasingly at the blood redhead. "Must've slip my mind."
The young Devil growled. "Dammit Nymph! I can't keep telling Pr. Kate why you're not showing up for class! You know that woman hates me because I'm... I'm-"
"A Devil hatchling?" Rosette finished. Aiden nodded her head.
"And this IS a Catholic School hence the name St. Mary CATHOLIC school. Devils, demons, any kind of appiraition are not exactly welcome in any kind of religion or religion related schools." Twitch looked at the human form of the Devil and walked over and bumped his sleek snout against her aim.
The hatchling smiled and scratched his eye ridge, making the blue dragon purr. Rosette smiled then turned to grab her truck keys and cell phone.
"Well, Pr. Kate may not like you, but she can't do anything about it since it was Joshua, Azmaria and I who found you and pratically raised you." She suddenly rubbed her right breast through her clothing. "Still can't believe I actually nursed a Devil hatchling from my breasts not too long ago."
"It was only a year ago!" Aiden reminded, her face slightly getting red.
Rosette shrugged. "A year ago and you look like a ten year old already and not to mention most 15 year olds at the time are trying to find dates for the dance, not nurse Devil babies." Aiden's face went a bit more red.
"You didn't have to," She muttered. "I still would've grown up just on cow milk, not as fast, but still..."
Rosette's grin widen and hugged her little hatchling to her, pulling on her small pointy ears. "Your so cute! that's why we kept you!"
"Gee, thanks allot." Aiden mumbled. Rosette released her and grabbed her pack as Twitch climbed ontop of Aiden's head.
""Just cover for me this whole week." Said Rosette. "I told my boss I was able to work full time that week."
"Fine," Grumbled Aiden. "The least I can do after what you've done for me." The blonde's grin return and pulled the blood redhead into another brace, tickling behind her small pointy ears.
"I wuv you!" She giggled.
Aiden went red on the face as Twitch jumped off her head. "S-Stop that Nymph!"
(4: 01 p.m)
Chrno looked up at the ceiling to hear people laughing, talking and so on. It told him the bounquiet had began. He look down at the sleeping blonde next to him and felt his body get warm.
Every since he been the Magdalene's property, Chrno never had anyone care from him until Sakkyou had married Mary's mother, bringing the so said sleeping blonde next to him, into this lonely life. At first, he though the girl was just curious to see the "Family's" dog, and understood right away he wasn't really human especially after seeing him fight for the first time. All the blood shed and body parts being ripped apart as red, warm, metallic-tasting blood splatter all over him. Chrno wasn't planning on seeing her at all later on in life, but was taken by surprise as she came the next day with some treats. It was then he develope an awkard relation ship with this human girl, telling her stories of what he heard ebfore he was subdue and force to be the Magdalene Mafia's dog.
Mary stirred and slowly open pale blue eyes and look up to see Chrno hadn't moved from his spot next to her. She blinked and smiled as she cuddled closer.
"How long have I been asleep?" She asked.
"At least a good 3 hours." Chrno replied. "Your party has started.
Mary blink and listen carefully to hears many voices upstairs. She sighed and buried her face into the Devil's brown poncho. "Has Sakkyou come home yet?"
Chrno shook his head. "I haven't heard him yet." He cocked his head. "Why?"
"Just wondering." Mary said and strecht her hands and suddenly tackle a startle Chrno, pinning his small 12 year old-like body to the bed, underneath hers.
"Ma-Magd-" Mary put a finger to his lips.
"Ssshhh..." She held him to her as she buried her face into the crook of his neck. Chrno blinked, very confused and before he could move to hold her, Mary jumped off him and said a quick "i'll be back" before running up the stairs. He watch her disappear and heard the door open and closed and sighed before covering his face.
Chrno never did understand human females... acutally there was allot he didn't understand, but human females where the top ones.
Mary closed the second door behind her, which was a stainless steel one for extra protection and locked it with the security card before taking a deep breath to calm her beating heart. She meant to leave earlier, but being with Chrno was comforting and he made her feel safe and warm. She walked out of the white windowless room and closed the oak doors behind her and nodded to the two gaurds standing outside there and made her way into the lively crowd.
Mary greeted the guest at her Father's part and asked where the host was. "Taking care of some business." Mary would reply everytime they asked her as she made her way up the stairs and too her Father's study room.
Reaching double oak doors, Mary stuck her hands into her pockets and pulled out a skeleton key and slid it onto the lock and turned it. She quietly closed the door behind her and headed for the desk and use the same skeleton key to ope the drawer on the left side. She pulled it open and saw a card key and the poket watch. Quickly she took the card key and stuck it into her pocket then the watch, carefully wrapping it up in a hankercheif and put it in her other pocket. She closed the drawer and locked it and stood up. Mary spotted a gold frame picture of a woman dress in a white wedding dress with very long black hair with the kindness smile anyone ever saw.
"Mama..." Mary whispered, stroking the woman's time frozen face with a finger. She bit her bottom lip and squeezed her eyes shut, remembering she told her mother she promise to free Chrno one day.
Mary race down the room and down the steps, determin to keep her promise to Chrno.
Chrno had just fall asleep only to be jolted awake hearing someone running down the stairs, breathing hard. He stood up to see it was Mary and felt his heart begin to pound.
"Magdalene? What's wrong? What is it?" He rushed towards her.
Mary just stop and tried to catch her breath. She uncovered the pocket watch and look up at Chrno. The Devil look up to meet her eyes and saw something in them, something...
"No.." He shook his head. Mary bit her lip.
"But Chrno-"
"Geez Magdalene! Didn't you see what happen those girls force to make a contract with me?" He grabbed her by the shoulders, despite their tall differences. "Are you stupid? Do you want the rush into death quickly?"
Mary felt hot tears come on. "I want to help you Chrno. I want to set you free." Her voice quivered.
Chrno hung his head and felt the blondes right arm move to the back of his neck before he heard a soft click.
His collar fell to the ground. He was unleashed.
Chrno stared at it and slowly raised his hands to rub his neck. He was free, the collar was off! He look up at Mary to see she was smiling and held up the pocket watch.
"Please?"
Chrno shook his head. "No."
The blonde suddenly took Chrno's hand and place it where her heart laid beating. Startle, Chrno look back up at the girl.
"Please Chrno, I'm willingly to share my life with you, to give you the power that you need to escape and surivive as you look for your horns. I know you barely have any energy left and you won't live very long without a Contractor." She gently took Chrno's face into her hands and bent her own face, bringing it closer to Chrno's; their lips were inches apart.
Chrno felt shivers go down his spine. "Ma-"
Mary's body suddenly impacted hard against his as a gun fire rang out. Chrno's eyes widen as he studied the girl against him, placing his hands on her back only to feel they were wet. Slowly, he felt lifted one of his hands to see it was wet with red.
"MAGDALENE!"
Chrno kneeled as he held the body to him, feeling his gut twisted painfully and his anger rise. Eyes sparking red, Chrno gave a low growl and look up to see one of the butlers standing at the stairs, trying to reload the rifle.
Energy crackle around the pissed Devil as Mary's body laid at his feet. He grabbed the pocket watch and used his very little enegry to transform.
The butler look up to hear flapping of wings and screamed. Blood splashed on the wall as a head rolled to the bottom of the stairs, a horrorfied look forever printed on his face.
The people there at the party began to scream and panic as a full grown Devil crashed into the place, with one of the head of the gaurds in his hands. He growled mencaling and flung it at a nearby window, shattering it. He looked around for an opening to escape and used his tail-bone whip to slash at anyone that was in his way.
Chrno spotted the entrance and headed for it, but stopped as lower ranking Demons stood in his way. Growling, he headed straight for them. Heads flew and arms were ripped as red hot blood splashed on the walls and grounds, making it slippery to run on. Some of the demon's blood splashed on nearby humans, causing them to go hysteric as they felt the warmth of the red liquid upon their skin, burning into it like a hot rod.
The violet hair Devil burst through the door, nearly ripping them off the hinges. The pocket watch around his neck swayed, catching the light from the porch lights.
People that were outside, chattering began to scream and run as they saw a grown Chrno almost covered in blood as his hands were dyed in it. He grinned, tasting the fear from the humans, but the image of Mary's dead body flashed in his head. Chrno growled, maybe he should have made a contract with her, then maybe...
No! Chrno shook his head. She would have suffered far more worst then anything else! That's one thing I don't want her to go through... His wings flared open and took to the evening sky. He needed to get far from here though he knew Sakkyou wasn't just going to let him go just like that.
(4:59 p.m)
Blazefyre Cafe
"Hello! Coming through!"
A blonde made her way around a couple, dressed in a white dress shirt with a red ribbon tied around her neck collar with a wide black corsette like wasit band around her waist and a red skrt with a white apron tied around the front and a white lacey garter around her right thigh as she wore white knee high socks and black glossy shoes and a french maid tiarra on her head with two white fuzzy wrist bands around her wrists.
"'Scuse me!" She dodged a couple of more kids, lifting the tray she was carrying, higher and continue to her destination.
Joshua grin, enjoying his sister trying to dodge people while CARRYING a tray. Azmaria squeaked and grimace everytime she thought Rosette might drop it.
"You think she would have been fired from this job since she so clumsy and destructive." Joshua said, biting into his hamburger. A tray slammed down on their table, causing him, Azmaria and Aiden to jump in their seat.
"What did you say?" Rosette growled, eyes oddly glowing gold. Before Joshua could say anything, the older blonde was giving him a noogie.
"Owowowowowowowowowwwwww!" Joshua shouted as Rosette kept it up.
Aiden sweatdrop as Twitch's blue head popped out of her messanger bag and stole a couple of french fries from her plate before slinking back in.
Rosette stopped her attack as Joshua began to have a coughing fit. "Look what you made me do!" She growled, rubbing her brother's back to ease his fit,
"Hey Rosette!" Another blonde shouted. "Here's that order for table 12!"
"Be right there, Mary!" Rosette shouted gently patting Joshua's back as his coughing eased down. "Okay look, I get off at 10 p.m. because I help out with the cleaning and stuff, think you guys can hang and wait until then? If you do, I'll bring you some ice cream."
Aiden and Azmaria's face glowed in excitment. "Ice cream!" They shouted in union. Joshua rolled his eyes.
"Make mine a rocky road." He said. This time, Rosette rolled her eyes.
"Choclate chip cookie dough!" The two girls said in union again.
"Rosette! DING DING!"
"I'm comin!" Shouted the older blonde then look back at her group. "I'll come by the next round, but in the mean time eat all of your food." She scolded, then spotted Twitch dragging a piece of Joshua's hamburger across the table, slinking back into Aiden's pack.
Rosette sweatdrop. That dragon's got a bigger stomach then me. She thought then said out loud: "Aiden, try to keep Twitch out of sight, okay?" Aiden nodded.
"ROSETTE!"
DINGDINGDING!
"Aw! Put a pipe in it, would you?" Rosette growled, taking off.
The three kids grinned at each other. Twitch on the other hand had gulf down the huge piece of meat and began to hiccup after eating it to fast.
"You stoopid head." Aiden growled.
(9: 31 p.m)
The cafe's customers began to dwindle as the people began to go home.
Joshua was running low on coins from playing the juke box they had there as Azmaria and Aiden were slightly poop from dancing. Their ice cream bowels laid empty at their seat.
Rosette and and a brunette name Claire, went around clearing the tables. Mary and Anna went around washing them down as three other girls were sweeping up.
"Hey Rosette!" A 29 year old African-American with a small afro name Terri, the assistant manager pf Blazefyre Cafe, shouted for the blonde. "Can you please take out the trash?"
"You want fries with that?" Rosette asked, putting her rag away.
Terri grinned. "No, but I want that $20 you still owe me." Rosette snorted and grab the trash bags and moved through the kitchen to get to the dumpster in the back.
"Hey Rosette sweety!" Shouted Lily. "I packed you some food for tomorrow okay? Don't forget to take it home!"
Rosette nodded. "Thanks Lily."
"No prob, buttercup!" The blonde smiled and reach the back door and began to turn the knob until someone else called her.
"Yo Rosette!" A spiky brown hair 25 year old male called out. "Didja give Joshua his meds yet?" The blonde shook her head. "I'll give it to him then."
"Thanks Andrew." Rosette said finally lugging the trash out. "Ungh! Arrrrggghh!" She panted as she ehaved the trash up and flinging it into the dumpster with all her might then shut the lid with a heavy sigh. "I hate trash duty." She grumble, cracking her back slighly as she bent it backwards.
Rosette began to head back inside only to see something slightly move on the other side of the dumpster near the opening of the alley. She blinked and squinch her eyes to get a better view in the dark and saw an unsual lump.
"Someone there?" Asked Rosette, walking towards it, not even thinking twice about it being some homeless guy, some drunk or a dead body. "Hello?" She head a slight groan then a ragged breathing.
"S-Stay away!" A voice said.
Rosette didn't even listen and continue to walk towards it and saw a young boy about Azmaria's age in a brown poncho with a red headband around his forehead with a pretty pocket watch hanging around his neck and purple hair spread around him. The boy himself looked very ill and very tired as well as being dirty.
"Hey, are you okay?" Rosette kneeled to the boy only to see his ears were small and pointy and eyes blood red. Her heart skipped a beat. Another Devil hatchling? She thought then shook her head. "Hello?"
The boy groan again, sound a bit in pain as he tried to stand up. "Take it easy." Rosette advised, helping him stand up. She gasped as the dark hair boy grabbed her arm firmly with very unsual strenght for someone his age.
His red eyes seemed out of focus as he looked at her. "Running out...of...power. Used too... much..." Rosette started as the boy fell against her chest, past out.
Rosette's face went slightly red as she held back her urge to whack his boy on the head. Lord have mercy on me.
