Things Change for Better or Worse?

By: Slushette

Previous Chapter: Rosette's P.O.V.

"Well, Sister Rosette might have more control over Chrono and vice versa. This is to be expected but she might gain some of Chrono's characteristics and powers. That's what I meant when I said side effects."

Even though the explanation was satisfactory, I felt like he was holding back information. I let it pass.

Chrono looked uneasy as we took the chocker necklaces and put them on. I noticed right away that they weakness of my body had been filled with a power. It was indescribable.

Chrono stood in his original form with a worried look at Rosette, but mostly looking at the dormant clock. I could feel a demonic aura inside me and at that moment I knew I was changing.

Time Of Adjustment

Rosette's P.O.V.

I felt the pain rip through my body. I couldn't help but scream bloody murder. My body grew into a more mature form, a more devil like form. I knew I had changed when the demonic aura engulfed me molding into my soul.

My sight was blurring and I collapsed roughly on all fours. It left me numb and exhilarated to feel the astral energy melting into my being. I heard muffled screams of my name, but I could hardly focus much less respond.

The pain became dull and my eyes could finally focus. I looked to my right to see Chrono beside me with a worried look etched on his face. My hand went to his face and caressed his cheek. I felt a wave of fear pass through me. I knew this fear wasn't my own. I couldn't stop myself from responding.

"Chrono I am not dieing so don't give me that. Everything's just Jake!" Chrono smiled uneasily as he helped me stand. "Chrono, I'm tired." I leaned heavily against him. Chrono was about to respond when he was interrupted.

"Chrono, why don't you and Rosette go and rest in your room. This has been hard on you both. We shall talk tomorrow on this matter. Isn't that right, Elder?" Father Remington said with a soft grin on his face. The Elder nodded grinning slightly perversely. Chrono looked at me before leading us out of the workshop.

"Chrono, Do I look different... I mean I know I do because I feel strange. Long as I'm with you it doesn't matter, right? You won't leave me, will you…? I know our contact is gone, b-but I couldn't bear it if, if you left me, too...?"

I couldn't control the tears or the pain of my heart. I didn't want to loose him. I buried my face in my hands. I wasn't going to die anymore but if Chrono left me is would have felt that way.

"Rosette..." Chrono whispered as he hugged me tightly. All I could do was cry in his grasp taking any confort I get. My fear was overwhelming. "I love you so much and as long as I am by your side I will always be happy. I will never leave you."

With those words I thought I would never hear from him I buried myself further into his embrace afraid to let go. We lay down on the bed, holding each other tightly. I could feel the warmth and exhaustion sweep through me.

Watching each other intently brought us a slight peace in our souls. I felt safe in his arms and utterly complete.

Not taking my eyes away from his, I pressed my forehead against his and I said softly. "I love you, too, Chrono." I shut my eyes and found sleep and dreamed ofour future. Which Chrono soon after did too?

Father Remington P.O.V.

I had watched Rosette scream in pain as her body shift to accommodate the astral power, but something stuck me as wrong when she collapsed to the ground screaming and bearing her new grown fangs in pain.

Her blonde hair reached her thigh and she was now just below Chrono's chin in height. Her reaction to the Chocker necklace had shocked me. It was as if she had gown into a demon rage like Chrono had done on a few occasions.

Her figure changed to be more elegant and willowy then curvy and rough. The perfection of her form could no longer be considered human. What in the name of God has the Elder done.

"Now Elder What sort of imformation were you leaving out? Mmmm? I may be a Father, but I know that look anywhere."
