The Era of Rebirth- Chapter 1: She who bears the mark
"Chrno and Rosette have left us, Sister Kate… And another person with the stigmata has appeared. She is currently at the Seventh Bell, the way Rosette started out. Shall we take her in?" Remington informed Sister Kate.
"No, she should remain untouched by us. Wherever we are, Aion is sure to follow suit. The holy saint Magdalene resided in Rosette, but now she is departed. This person with the stigmata… Could it be a sign that a new era has come?"
"Yaden. Is that my name?"
"Yes, and you are in the care of the Seventh Bell now."
"So, about Yaden's adoption?"
"Yes, we are working on it."
"Is she alright with it?"
"We haven't told her yet. I cannot anticipate her reaction."
"Why yes, of course. We'll just let her know it in her own time."
What they didn't know was, Yaden was eavesdropping. Upon hearing that she was to be adopted, she ran towards her room and locked herself in. Why? Why should I be adopted? You knew it would happen one day. Even if you weren't adopted, you would still be sold off at the age of 16. But why now!
As Yaden sunk slowly and slowly into depression, she did not notice a reassuring clasp on her shoulder. A squeeze on the shoulder made her tilt her head up.
It was the holy saint, Rosette Christopher.
Rosette: "Fear not, Yaden, this is your destiny. You should not hide from it. But stand up to it. For God has given you a second chance to be loved again, treasure the chance."
Yaden's face softened. As Rosette slowly stroked Yaden's forehead, Yaden's stigmata caught her eye. "Ah, yes, she is the one…" and Yaden slowly fell into a peaceful slumber.
This marked the end of her first encounter with the holy saint Rosette.
(A/N: So, how was it? R&R please, I think the chappie kinda sucked )
