A/N: Here is next chapter

It was after the show in the bar. Fred had asked if they allowed him to sing once and Chrono had said yes. The whole bar started to laugh when he started singing "Mr. Bombastic" and making a silly slow dance to it while singing.

Chrono and Rosette were again on their way home "Fred is so funny" Rosette said with a smile "I couldn't even stop laughing when I sang with him"

Chrono smiled as well "I heard that… I was about to loose my hearing"

Rosette slapped him gently on his arm "You couldn't stop laughing too" she shot back "You played a lot of wrong notes"

"The audience couldn't hear me anyway" he said "They were listening to Fred" a small pain shot up through his spine. Rosette didn't notice him stop walking.

"Yea, maybe we should let him sing more often… I think people like him, don't you think?" she said and turned to look at Chrono, but then realised he was not there "Chrono?" she called but there was no answer. She stopped walking and turned around to look down the street from where they just came. It was all empty.

"Who do we have here?" she heard a too familiar voice say from right behind her. She spun around and saw Chrono. He was blood covered. Her eyes widened "Oh no…" she choked and backed away from him.

"Come… no running this time okay? I'll get you anyway" he said smirking "I promise it won't hurt, just-" he stopped midsentence when Rosette started running anyway and turned a corner, making her disappear out of his sight. Chrono sighed "Oh well… where would the fun be?" He shrugged and flared his wings, before taking off into the black starry sky.

"Now… where is she?" he asked himself and let his eyes scan the ground beneath him.

Rosette was running as fast as she could. She might have been lucky last time, but what if she didn't have as much luck this time?

She was thinking of a place to hide, but where? He was much faster than her.

She reached a big green area, a baseball field. She stopped, fully out of breath. She couldn't hear any flapping of wings. Wasn't he following her? Was he just giving her a head start, to make the hunt more fun?

She found a baseball bat lying at the end of the field. She ran towards it and grabbed it. She wasn't sure if she could really use it against him, but a good thing to bluff with.

Now she just waited. Darkness surrounding her, and her listening to every single sound.

She heard the bushes rattle in the distance and turned towards them, lifting the bat. It was only a little grey cat though. She sighed relieved.

Suddenly she felt a presence behind her "Found you" Chrono cooed, making her spin around with the bat in her hands "Stay away from me" she warned him "I won't be afraid to use this if you should come closer"

Chrono laughed "Are you sure?" he asked smirking, walking closer to her slowly.

She backed away from him "Stay where you are… I mean it Chrono" she threatened. Chrono started laughing again, not stopping his walk towards her. He spread his wings out to their full size, wanting to look bigger and scarier.

Rosette gasped and almost stumbled when he did that.

"Stop… I know Chrono is still in there somewhere" she called "You're not the real Chrono"

His smirk widened "Right now I am" he replied "And the more you try to escape me, the more I want to just tear you apart"

She was suddenly stopped by the big fence around the field. She lift the bat towards him in a threatening manner.

"All I need to do though is give you a little bite in your neck to get what I want" he stopped a few metres or so away from her "You don't need to worry, my fangs are so sharp, you won't even feel a thing"

He grabbed the bat and flung it out of her grasp and onto the grass far away from her. She was defenceless now.

"No…" she whispered "Leave me alone"

"Don't worry girl… I'll end your unlucky life" he whispered to her and walked closer. A clawed hand reaching up and pushing her long golden strands aside, exposing her neck.

Her eyes shut closed as he bared his fangs and leaned in.

What was she supposed to do? She was shaking. She just wanted to get away.

She felt his warm breath on her skin, then somethin small and sharp was gently placed on her skin "No… don't" She whispered, her voice filled with fear.

"AAHHRGG" Chrono screamed in pain and stumbled away from her. She was falling, but was catched just before she fell to the ground "Are you okay?" she heard a male voice ask, but it was a man she had never met before.

He had blonde hair and sky blue eyes that were filled with concern. In his hand was the baseball bat that Chrono had thrown away, there was a little blood on it.

"Are you okay?" he repeated, sitting her gently on the ground, still holding her shoulders "Y-Yes… I am" she replied "W-Who are you?"

"Later… we have to get away from that monster first" he said and lift Rosette up in his arms bridal style. She struggled though when she saw Chrono lying on the ground, slowly changing back to normal "No wait… Chrono might be hurt" she said and he let her down "But he's a-" "I know what he seems to be… but it's a curse, he isn't like that in real" she ran over to the purple haired boy and sat down beside him.

He was holding his side "Chrono… Chrono?"

He opened his eyes and saw her, a weary smile on his face "Thank God Rosette…" she pulled him up and let him rest against her "Are you okay?" they both asked each other in unison.

Rosette hugged him to her "I'm okay" she told him and he answered "Me too… well… except that I am all full of blood again and I have a real pain in my side… and that I almost-"

"Shh… just rest" she interrupted him, making him quiet down.

The blonde man walked over to them. Rosette looked up at him "Thank you very much" she said

"Yes, thank you" Chrono said as well.

"You're welcome" he replied, but had a serious look on his face "I see you are the one Father Joseph told me about" the man said

"Father Joseph?" Rosette asked "The Father in the church?"

"Yes… he told me about a strange couple that told him that the boy was cursed and changed into a demon" he explained "He told me it was just a prank, but luck for you, I didn't believe it was"

"Who are you?" Rosette asked.

The man made a slight bow "My name is Yuan Remington… I am a minister" he introduced "And I have to tell you boy… you're not the only one in this world with such a burden laid onto your shoulders… meet me tomorrow, and I'm going to show you what I mean"

The man turned to leave "Wait" Rosette called after him "Where do we meet?"

"In the park" Remington replied and disappeared in the distance, leaving the two alone.

Chrono reached for her hand and took it in his "We better meet him then huh?" he asked

Rosette nodded "Yes, we better" she replied and pulled Chrono a little closer "He might be able to help you" she whispered "At least I hope he will"

Chrono closed his eyes "I hope so too"
