Time Angel
By SekhmetFaris (a.k.a SekhmetMariku)
"Rosette, I don't think there's anything more here to look at." Joshua said has his older sister scowered over the small yard that had only hours before been crawling with demons...
Rosette sighed.
"According to Sheda's calculations the supposed "Time Warp" was suppose to show up here..." Rosette said.
Joshua sighed.
He would have rather been at home, helping Sheda set up her lab in the basement or reading a book alongside the beautiful spider-demon he had come to admire.
Instead Rosette had asked him to come along on a clean up mission.
Chrono, Aion, and (much to Rosette's displeasure) Satella had come out earlier and taken care of the demons that littered the area.
"Look Josh I know you'd rather be home but you need to get out more..." Rosette started her back to Joshua.
She never was good at mothering, especially with her younger brother...
"Your burying yourself in those books and not even paying attention to what's going on... We wanted to be explorers right?"
Joshua sighed.
"Yeah..."
Rosette turned toward him.
"And we are! We're doing something incredible! We are living with demons and defending people from them at the same time! You know that book we were gonna right? We can still write it! We just need to be explorers in a different way!" She smiled at him.
"Do you understand what I'm saying Josh?" She asked.
Joshua thought a minute.
She was right...
He smiled at her.
"You're right has normal..." He chuckled.
"So what should we write about? Rosette Christopher and her amazing adventures with her sidekick Chrono?"
Rosette's eyes glittered for a moment.
"There's an idea!" She said.
Joshua laughed.
Rosette smiled and was about to say something when she felt an odd sensation in her chest. She looked down.
The Pocket Watch was vibrating and if Rosette looked close enough she could see that that it was glowing slightly.
"Rosette! Look out!" Joshua yelled.
Rosette had no time to reach has something slammed down hard on her back. She was instantly reminded of the time Satella had landed on her head.
Rosette heard Joshua break out into a fit of coughs.
What was going on?
She opened her eyes not realizing she had closed them and saw nothing but a curtain of purple hair.
Something caught in her throat and she coughed.
It was hard to since something was weighing her down.
She rolled over with some difficultly and pushed herself up along with the "weight" which turned out to be a girl.
She slumped against Rosette like a limp doll.
Rosette couldn't help but stop and stare at how much she resembled a beautiful porcelien doll.
She had a small sweet face, and very long purple hair which pooled around her like a blanket of soft silk. Her skin was soft and very pale, however her cheeks where flushed like she had just been through a major workout.
She was wearing a dark brown sleeveless shirt which clung to her figure and black pleted skirt which fell a little below her knees. Along with this she wore an odd vest-like coat.
It was red and reminded Rosette of Chrono's trade-mark red jacket.
It was sleeveless and went down to mid-calf in the same way Chrono's own jacket did.
She was also wearing odd gloves that resembled Satella's jewel summoner glove, though they had one large jewel on them like the ends of Chrono's sleeves.
She wore black leather boots and a bag was strapped around her shoulder.
Rosette coughed and realized that surrounding both of them was a large pillar of smoke.
It was dark purple, which was not natural.
Rosette took a closer look at the girl and noticed the small difences that confirmed her suspiscions.
The slightly pointed ears, fingers slightly more pointed...
Rosette was sure when the girl opened her eyes they would be cat-like, and some unearthly color....
The girl stirred and Rosette held her breath has she opened her eyes.
Blue....
Such a shade of blue that Rosette could not describe, they where un-earthly, but in an angelic way. In no way where they anything demonic, they where soft now, but Rosette could tell that they could be fierce and determined...
Like her own....
The girl blinked a few times and stared at her a few moments, no fear was evident in her eyes...
Only curiousity....
Rosette imagined her eyes where equally has curious looking.
She felt like she had when she had first met Chrono, she knew she was destined to share some sort of a fate with her.
She felt the need to take care of her, to make sure she was happy, in that one moment.
Just like with Chrono...
Then the girl's eyes wavered and she began to cry.
"Mother?"
Her voice was sweet, and so much like Chrono's.
Rosette could listen to it to the end of time and never ever get tired of it...
After a moment the word the girl had uttered sunk into Rosette's head like a ton of bricks.
Mother? That couldn't be...
But that would explain why Rosette felt so... at ease with this girl...
Rosette opened her lips to speak only to have the word catch in her throat.
What should she say?
"I'm Angel Rizelle Christopher, your daughter! I've wanted to meet you and Dad so much!" The girl, Angel said in a rush before flinging her arms around Rosette and beginning to bawl her eyes out on Rosette's shoulder.
Rosette remained still for a moment before wrapping her arm's around Angel.
"It's nice to meet you, I'm Rosette Christopher..." Rosette murmered back.
The smoke began to clear has Rosette rubbed Angel's back.
"Rosette!"
Rosette looked up at her brother who looked alarmed at the sight of her embracing Angel.
He was fingering the pistol he carried in case of emergencies.
"Rosette...Who?"
Rosette smiled.
"My daughter, can you believe that?" She started laughing.
"My own daughter just fell out of the sky and landed on me! At lest she had me to break her fall!" She laughed merrily.
Joshua gave her an odd look.
Rosette gave Angel a gentle squeeze.
"I'm not sure she's from this time Joshua... We where sent to investigate a "Time Warp" where we not? She came through it..." Rosette said her fingers sliding gently into the silky tresses that belonged to her daughter.
Joshua looked skeptical for a moment and kneeled to get a better look at the girl.
He hesitantly put a hand on her shoulder.
Rosette smiled.
"Her name is Angel..."
Angel stopped crying and slowly turned her head to see who was touching her. The moment she saw Joshua her eyes lit up.
"Uncle Joshua!" She exclaimed flinging herself onto her uncle.
Joshua fell backwards with a startled gasp has she did so.
Angel was hugging him tightly has if he would disapear if she loosened her hold any.
"Uncle Joshua! I'm really sorry I ran away from the Order! I'm sorry I yelled at you! Please don't be angry with me!" She said.
Rosette began laughing and Joshua looked oviously frightened.
"I-I-I'm not angry with you..." He shuttered.
Angel's grip loosened and she let out a sigh of relief.
"But... I don't think you have the right person... I-I-I'm not old enough to be an uncle!" Joshua exclaimed in a panicked voice.
With that Rosette began to laugh even harder.
Angel looked up at Joshua's frightened face and blinked before jumping off him.
"Oh my goodness! I'm sorry I- uh"
"He's your uncle, just some odd years younger Angel." Rosette said pulling herself to her feet. She winced and cracked her back.
"Aw, applesauce! Did you have to come down so hard on my back?" She said jokingly.
Angel watched Rosette for a moment before looking down at Joshua.
"How old are you anyway?" She asked.
Joshua got to his feet.
"I'm 17 and Rosette's 18." He muttered quickly.
Angel's eyes widened.
"Where am I?" She asked nervously.
"New York. How'd you get here from the future anyway?" Rosette asked.
Angel looked down her hand automatically going to grasp the pocket-watch around her neck.
Rosette saw it and wondered how she had missed it before.
"A friend of mine... She pulled the seal off and suddenly I was falling through a dark void... The next thing I remember was waking up to see you... Mom?" Angel said both in explenation and question.
Rosette winked at her.
"Of course." She said.
Angel brightened.
Joshua cleared his throat.
"So if you came from the future, who sent you? Why are you here? Do you have some sort of mission? Why- OW!" Joshua was cut off has Rosette elbowed him in the stomach.
"Come on Joshua, give her a minute she just got here!"
Angel thought a moment.
"Well, I wasn't sent by anyone, I'm here because Sura opened the watch after tinkering with it a bit... I don't think I have any sort of mission..." She said smiling at Joshua. She noticed then that her hair was loose and let out a snort.
Digging in her bag she pulled out a brush and began frantically brushing it, almost has if she had completely forgotten that Rosette and Joshua where there.
"Here let me do that for you." Rosette said taking the brush from Angel. Angel looked startled for a moment like she was about to protest but relaxed.
In a few moments Rosette was braiding Angel's hair into two braids and using the ties in her own hair to hold Angel's.
"All right, all done!" She declared before grabbing Angel's wrist.
"Come on! Let's get to the car so we can go home and I can introduce you to your dad!" She said like a happy child who had just found a new toy.
She dragged Angel a few feet before stopping and turning a head in her direction.
"Chrono is your dad right?" She asked sounding a bit nervous.
Angel nodded and Rosette grinned.
"Just checking! Okay let's go! Joshua!!"
Joshua sighed and shook his head.
His sister was so unpredicable....
But that was life.

He had easily dodged the missionaries that had come to explore his tomb in hopes of finding him...
At lest he thought they where missionaries...
His still dusty blue hair whipped around him has he sat on a cliff over looking the gorge his tomb had once been in.
He was glad to be out of that dusty place, it hadn't been very comfortable.
He briefly wondered what nun's and priest's wanted with him.
Then he remembered why he was put in there in the first place and chuckled.
Wait... hadn't another demon put him in there?
He scratched his head and shrugged.
Now here he was, a demon who had been couped up in a tomb for who knows how long, without proper entertainment for the same amount of time...
What should he do first?
He gave his own chest a hard thump, dust which had settled inside of it blowing up and making him sneeze.
"First... A bath! Then... I need some new clothes..."

"Time Warp... Time Maiden... So now you've finally come into my grasp... I never thought the child of an Apostle and a Sinner would be has stupid has to fall into this time..." Orange eyes glittered with madness.
"But that's what you did the last time wasn't it? And the time before that, and the time before that.... It's happened so many time I think I've lost count!"
Those same orange eyes narrowed dangerously.
"This time you chose a path that held Lady Spindra in it however... a very good move on your part... However we've danced this dance before and no matter how many times you try to lead you always manage to fall, don't you..."
"You wait, she'll get you, you foul rat!" A voice called from behind.
The eyes glowed and there was a pained yelp from the same person.
"You boy will mind your tongue, the Time Maiden you know is long dead. Your Path was destroyed your existance a parodox. I have no need to keep you living..."
"Then why do you keep me here?"
"It is the same reason the others are here... Your final act in your Path angered me. Therefore you like the others will remain until I complete my mission, to take the Time Maiden for my own..."
"You won't suceed..." A smaller voice hissed.
The orange eyes widened with surprise has they gazed at the owner of the third voice.
"And why is that son of an Apostle?"
"No matter what you do, she will alway slip away from you. It is her nature, and it was our duty to help her..."
There was silence in the room for a moment...
"I'll see her again, I know I will." The second voice said confidently.
"Has will I..." The third voice said then continued... " This time it appears has if she may have Lady Sheda's daughter to help her, she will be a great ally."
The oranged eyes being growled.
"Enough! I've heard enough of your senseless words! Go back to your cages!"
There was a faint sound of metal sliding against metal and all was silent.
The orange eyes glowed.
"I WILL win..."
(blinks O.o Whoa... Major plot development.... Eeeeee! Okay I'm done now.... Bye guys!!!)
