Chapter Two: Aion's Threat
Several days later Rosette Christopher and Rosette Harvenheit (note: Last chapter Rosette Christopher nicknamed Rosette Harvenheit, Rose, so that no one would confuse Harvenheit for Christopher…) sat by a small lake where Rosette, Chrono, and Azmaria had gotten into a water fight so that Azmaria wouldn't bottle up what she felt. Rose (Harvenheit Rosette) looked over the reflective surface of the water as she nibbled one of many sandwiches that Rosette had made.
"Is there something on your mind Rose?" Rosette asked through a mouthful of sandwich.
"Itz Aion… Zere's been not a zingle trace of hem for ze two weeks I've been here. I'm beginning to worry because I know he would've found out where I was the first day I was miszing from ze home zat he had me confined in for ze past ten years… I ope zat he hazn't hurt anyone innocent because I ran away becauze of ze baby…" Rose said as she took another bite of her sandwich.
Rose was becoming like a sister to Rosette but Rosette thought it was pretty suspicious when Aion didn't come after Joshua when he had been rescued by Rosette and Chrono a few months ago, and she was sure that Aion would show up now that She and Chrono had Rose with them as well but there was no sign of the Devil lord.
"HEY SIS!" A boy's voice called. The voice belonged to Joshua Christopher, Rosette's fifteen-year-old younger brother who had the same eye and hair color as his sister.
"What is it Joshua?" Rosette asked as her younger brother as he ran to her cradling something gently in his hands. Just as Aion had used Rose he had also used Joshua, now that he was with the Magdalan order and back with Rosette he had back some of the memories that had been taken from him at the Seventh bell incident when Rosette was twelve and Joshua was eleven.
"It's a bird Rosette. It's hurt I think… Could we help it, please?" Joshua pleaded as he held out the small creature for Rosette to look at. Rosette knew why he had asked HER if he could help it that was because although Joshua had a strange healing power he preferred to act as if he didn't and tended to look to Rosette for some kind of healing device. Using two twigs and some string she found she splinted the bird's broken leg for Joshua and he released the bird and came back to the two gossiping women.
"You know, you two are pretty nice to spend some time with." Joshua said to Rose and Rosette as he laid himself on the soft grass by Rosette's feet.
"Well I'm glad you think that, LITTLE brother." Rosette said provoking him. Although he was a year younger than Rosette he was fairly taller and made it seem like Rosette was the younger sibling. Joshua pouted and told Rosette he thought she was mean and caused her to hug him. "I love you little brother, I don't care how tall or big you think you are you'll always be younger, and I'll always be older." Rosette said running her hand through Joshua's short blonde hair. Joshua smiled and looked at Rose who was enjoying the siblings argue lovingly.
"So Rose… Why are you here?" Joshua asked Rose wondering why she had come to the order off Magdalan's sacred halls. Rosette, knowing Rose wouldn't want to explain that she was pregnant with Aion's child against her will and was seeking help with the baby, boxed Joshua's ear making him pout.
"That was rude Joshua, even by YOUR standards… You don't ask someone why he or she went some place. It's just plain rude." Rosette said via scolding her little brother.
"Sorry Rose... I don't know why I was so rude…" Joshua apologized.
"Itz alright Joshua… You probably zidn't mean to zay zat." Rose said reaching over and ruffling Joshua's hair. Rosette was silent while Joshua and Rose talked about the past and other things. Rosette noticed that even when Rose seemed upset she always smiled, it was hard for Rosette to tell if Rose had wanted the child or if Aion had indeed raped her. Rosette suggested they go back to the Magdalan monastery so that she could check on Chrono, Rose could rest a while, and Joshua could resume his exorcist training.
When they got back Chrono rushed to Rosette with a paper in hand. Rosette Shooed Rose and Joshua inside before turning to Chrono to ask him what was going on.
"What is it this ti-…" Rosette began but stopped in the middle of her sentence, judging by Chrono's frightened look it wasn't good. Rosette took the paper from Chrono and read to her self. The paper was a note to Chrono from Aion saying: "My dearest friend Chrono, how are you? I'm doing very well as are all the other sinners... you should really think of rejoining us, along with Rosette Harvenheit and Joshua Christopher. Oh, on the Subject of Miss. Harvenheit you should know; Rosette is my wife, I married her a year ago. The poor girl gets memory loss sometimes and wonders off, so if you see her tell her I miss her. I must be getting back to my work now Chrono, take care. Regards, Aion. P.s. Be sure nothing happens to her child… or both you and that Nun will parish." Rosette raised her left eyebrow slightly and felt it twitch in annoyance.
"It's a lie… There are no records of it…" Chrono whispered to Rosette as quietly as he could. Rosette nodded, that she figured out when she read the note. Rosette decided to tell the truth to Chrono this time. Chrono had asked Rosette if SHE knew whose child Rose was carrying but each time Rosette refused to answer for fear that Chrono might bear a grudge against Rose and her unborn child.
"Chrono… It's Aion's child… Rose was raped around six times by Aion because she was a female apostle. She was pregnant twice before but had miscarriages which she told me Aion almost killed her over." Rosette paused for a moment to let Chrono interject but he said nothing and she continued. "The moment Rose found out she was carrying a child she fled from Aion for fear that he would harm her before the baby was born. She told me that Aion is giving her one last chance to have the child, and that if she didn't want the baby and tried to kill it before it was born, Aion would kill her." Rosette quietly concluded. Rosette looked at Chrono and almost read his sympathetic expression for a look of hatred. Chrono looked at Rosette with a look of disgust toward Aion, and Rosette had a hard time believing that her kind-hearted friend was once the most feared Devil that worked alongside Aion himself.
"That's too far… this is all just because Rose is an apostle? It's not right for her to suffer like that…" Chrono said pursing his lips together. "She probably suffered enough BEFORE Aion kidnapped her, now he's making her have a child for him… What a sick bastard…" Chrono said and Rosette let out a silent sigh of relief. Chrono smiled before continuing. "I guess that means we have to protect her at all costs right?" Chrono asked with a grin.
"Chrono… When Rose first came here I promised her you and I would protect the baby as well as her no matter the cost… are you with me?" Rosette asked and Chrono shook her hand.
"I'm with you Rosette… Any person who was a victim of Aion, is a friend and ally for me… I swear to you, Rosette that I will do all in my power to keep Rose and her unborn child safe. You have my word on my honor as a reformed Devil." Chrono said before releasing Rosette's hand.
"Thank you Chrono…" Rosette said hugging Chrono, reassured that he would help Rose and her baby even if Rosette her self could not.
Me: Hm… I like it…
Rose: Like what?
Me: Nothing I'm mumblin' over my history homework…
Rosette: You guys are still on the World Wars?
Me: Yah… Aion reminded me of a dictator in this history book chapter…
Rosette: Your teacher must love Chrono Crusade then…
Me: Actually she seemed to like Azmaria's Extra section on Stigmata and Mary of Magdalene… she thought it was funny, I thought it was hilarious… Mimicks Azmaria's slapping of the fly sized Aion
Until next time….
