A/N: Here is chapter number 18 it's gonna be a little short though -.- I didn't really know what to write here... I just figured something out.
The hot water from the shower was welcoming on her cold body. She still shivered a little after what had happened. She wasn't even sure if she would be able to fall asleep. The smell from the shampoo made her relax as well though. She stayed in the bathroom in about an hour.
Rosette and Chrono had walked home through the dark streets talking. They were cold, shivering and covered in blood. Chrono had asked over and over again if she was okay. She had smiled at him and reassured him that everything was okay.
Chrono didn't tell her much about his changing into a demon. He just told her he had always had that problem, it had never been as bad as this time though. It mostly happened at night, at day he mostly felt pain in his teeth, back, ears and head, even the fingers.
"We need a priest or something like that, maybe he can exorcise you" Rosette suggested. Chrono had agreed, he wanted to do everything to get rid of his "curse".
"You better go home; I don't know if it's safe enough for you to be with me" he said "We can meet tomorrow"
"Yes and then we go visit a church" she replied
"Want me to follow you home? We better hurry before we meet the police, if they see us like this, they will only think we have murdered somebody"
"No it's okay Chrono, see you tomorrow okay?" she said, before she walked down a street and towards her home. She wasn't happy to leave him alone, but someway, she didn't really dare to be alone with him either.
She walked out of her bathroom and towards her bedroom. She hurried under her covers and pulled them up to her chin. She turned out the light and waited for sleep to take over her exhausted form. After a few minutes, she found out she couldn't sleep.
The ticking of the alarm clock suddenly seemed so loud, the room seemed so big, cold and empty.
All of a sudden the phone rang and she got up from her warm bed to take it "H-Hello?" she asked and waited for answer.
"Hey it's me" she heard Chrono reply in the other end "Did I wake you up?"
"Hey Chrono, no don't worry, I couldn't sleep anyway" she replied and sat down on her couch "Is something wrong?"
Chrono hesitated a bit before talking "Uhm… the thing is… I missed the last bus home, I know it might be a bad idea but…-" he trailed off
"You can come and sleep here, I think there still are a few clothes of Aion left"
"I don't know if it's a good idea Rosette"
"Oh don't worry, I'll close and lock my door" she said "Come before you get a cold"
"Okay… I'll be there in a few minutes then, bye"
"Bye"
She hung up and started rummaging through her things "I have to find the key" she thought "Where is it?" She never used the bedroom door key, so it was hard to find it "I just use my big suitcases to block the door then" she said after some long searching.
Soon she heard someone knock on the door; she walked out to open it. She was met by a blood covered Chrono "Sorry" he said and walked inside "I waited for the bus, but it never came" he said.
She closed the door after him "It's okay, I have placed some clothes in the bathroom, you can take a shower then, then I have to find some pillows and blankets for you" she walked by him and into the living room "Thank you" he said with a smile and disappeared into the bathroom.
She found two pillows and a blanket. Suddenly Chrono popped his head out through the door opening "Uhm… mind if I sing?" he asked blushing embarrassedly "It helps me relax"
She chuckled "No, its okay" she smiled
"Thanks" he said, a smile of his own on his face, then he disappeared back into the bathroom. A couple of minutes later she heard a song emerge from behind the bathroom door.
She walked over and called "Chrono? Are you hungry?"
The song stopped "No I'm not" he called back
"Okay" then the song started again and she made her way into the kitchen. She found a few slices of bread and some marmalade. She ate it while watching TV.
Chrono soon exited the bathroom and sat down beside Rosette on the couch "I really needed that" he said smiling "I felt really dirty, but not in that way dirty though"
Rosette laughed "I know I know" she smiled. She glanced at the clock "It's late huh?" Chrono asked, looking at her.
She looked back at him "Yea, I better go sleep, will you be okay?" she asked
"Sure, goodnight Rosette" he replied.
She got up from the couch and headed towards her bedroom. She said goodnight and closed the door after her, pushing her suitcase in front of it.
She crept under her covers and closed her eyes. After a few minutes, she fell asleep.
The night was peaceful, nothing happened. When Rosette came out of the bedroom, Chrono was still sleeping. She tip-toed by him and into the kitchen where she made coffee.
She then walked back into the bedroom to change.
"I'm hungry" she heard Chrono whimper "My stomach is killing me"
Rosette rolled her eyes "Well… you didn't want anything yesterday, it's your own fault you know"
Chrono sighed "I know… can I get something to eat now?"
"Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes, have a little patience" she said and disappeared back into her kitchen.
"We have to go visit the church today okay?" she called
"Yes… I just hope they can help me… I'm sick and tired of that curse"
"We have to stay positive… I'm sure they know the one or other spell against evil spirits" Rosette told him.
"Have you seen "Casper the friendly Ghost" and "The Ghostbusters" lately? Cause that just sounded so movie-like" Chrono teased "It's a church where they believe in God, I don't think they actually hunt and kill evil spirits"
"You never know… there is more between earth and heaven than you know" Rosette said with a grin and brought him the coffee.
"If you say so… I don't care as long as they can free me from that demon" he said, but didn't sound all too convinced though.
A/N: I couldn't make it any longer now -.- I'm a little tired. I will continue soon though
