A/N: Well… here is next chapter -.- I can't stop writing right now, and got nothing really to do -.-
Chrono was walking tiredly down the street the next morning. Nyx had meowed almost the whole night and kept him awake. His side still hurt. Who knew a priest could hit that hard with a baseball bat? "I guess I deserved it" he murmured and saw Rosette in the distance "At least she is okay"
He straightened up and pretended that everything was perfect.
She didn't see him at first; she was talking with Remington that had appeared a few minutes before him. The blonde man wore a long black coat, smiling when he talked with the young girl.
"Oh, hey Chrono" Rosette greeted when she noticed him at last "Hello" he replied, suppressing a yawn that was slowly creeping up on him.
"I'm happy you're both here" Remington said "If you would please follow me?" he started walking through the park, the curious pair following him "Where are we going?" Rosette asked, but Remington ignored it. She looked up at Chrono, who just shrugged.
Remington led them around in circles it seemed, they passed the same place twice. Chrono was almost thinking that that guy had forgotten where they were going.
"Uhm… excuse me?" Chrono began, making the blonde man turn towards him with an asking look "Uhm… it's just that we're going in circles and-" the purple head pointed out "Don't speak, only follow" Remington interrupted and looked away again. Chrono shrunk back and silenced.
Rosette went a little faster so she could walk beside the blonde priest "Uhm… may I ask where we're actually going?" she asked friendly
"We'll be visiting the Magdalene Order young Miss" Remington answered "It's a convent"
"Will they be able to help Chrono there?" she asked
"Time will show if they can, but right now it's uncertain to say" Remington replied "Your friend is a special case that requires special treatment… our weapon specialist will run a few tests on him first"
Chrono shivered, not really wanting to go there. What tests? What special treatment? He already cursed the day he was born with that curse. What would they do to him if he went all demon on them there? A convent was full of nuns wasn't it? What would he do to those poor girls? He already almost got Rosette killed; he wanted nothing like that to happen again. Chrono was starting to get nervous and hoped that Remington knew what he was doing.
Rosette could feel Chrono's upcoming nervousness and walked a little slower so he could keep up with her. She touched his arm, silently asking if he was okay. As a reply he smiled reassuringly at her, telling her it was alright.
Remington stopped at a black car "Please get in" he told them and sat down in the drivers' seat. Rosette and Chrono getting into the back. The blonde was looking out the window, watching the park disappear in the distance.
Silence engulfed them and it made Rosette think about Aion once again. She sighed. What was she supposed to do? What would Aion do when she told him it was over? Would he be happy or sad, maybe angry?
After about an hour they were in the country, fields on either side of the road "We're there soon" Remington informed them and turned a corner. In the distance lay a giant white building, a church right beside it.
Chrono swallowed, a demon, in a convent did absolutely not mix well.
Remington hadn't told them anything under the whole drive. They both didn't know what would await them.
The car stopped and Remington told them to get out and follow him. The building was even bigger in close-up. There were nuns everywhere, all wearing a blue and white habit with gold crosses on the shoulders and… were that gun belts at their hips?
Chrono and Rosette didn't believe their eyes, what were nuns doing with guns? Except that it rhymes that is. Chrono was even more nervous after that discovery.
Rosette wouldn't let any of them use a gun against her best friend, no one. No one would harm him; she didn't notice herself moving a little closer to the red eyed young man.
Chrono felt it though and smiled down at her. She was too protective.
Remington led them through a big brown wooden door and into a long hallway. There were pictures of earlier headnuns on the walls, none of them looking especially friendly. All were wearing a big silver cross with red rubies embedded in it around their necks.
A group of small girls in pink uniforms were going by them, throwing them curious looks. They all were about twelve or so years old. Remington greeted them with a smile and Rosette noticed the small girls starting to blush.
She saw them crane their heads so they could see where the priest was leading them, but then Remington turned a corner "They are apprentices" Remington informed the pair, as if sensing their questioning looks "Most of them are coming from rich homes or are even orphans… we take all in who is willing to go the path of God and fight the evil"
Remington led them out of the building and into the courtyard, where a lot of young nuns were reading. The weather wasn't all too cold today so it was perfect. These nuns were only teenagers and they turned their faces and watched Chrono, a blush on their faces.
Chrono smiled at them and they immediately stuck their heads together and started whispering, giggling madly.
They walked by a little building "This is where the Elder lives" Remington said "He is our weapon specialist and the one who is going to make some tests with you Chrono"
In that exact minute a big explosion was heard from the building, and smoke escaped the half open door "He isn't always successful with his new inventions" Remington added sweat dropping.
An old man came out coughing badly and the three stopped "'Cough' Hello Yuan" the old man called "Seems I have to 'cough' use something else than holy water for this experiment" he grinned and waddled over to them. Rosette didn't like the way he looked at her at and inched a little closer to Chrono.
Elder had a glint in his eyes as he saw the young blonde girl and the young purple haired man "Uuhh who do we have here?" he asked and grinned even more "Hello mi boy" he said and shook Chrono's hand. Chrono smiled "Hello, I'm Chrono" he introduced "Nice to meet you young man" Elder responded and turned his attention towards the girl behind the boy.
"And who might you be?" he asked.
Rosette peeked out from behind Chrono and forced a smile "I'm Rosette Christopher" she said and reached out her hand towards him. He took it, but instead of just shaking it, he pulled her swiftly towards him and buried his face in her chest "Nice to meet you my girl" he grinned.
"AAHHRR YOU PERVERT" she screamed and rammed her fist down onto the old man's head. The man crumpled and rubbed his now lumped head "What a girl, and it was all worth it" he laughed madly.
Chrono and Remington sweat dropped. Remington should maybe have warned her of the old man.
"Never try that again" she threatened with a glare and walked over to her friend and the priest "Uhm… we better go on to Sister Kate, she is the headnun of the Magdalene Order" he said and hurried towards another big building, saying bye to the Elder before disappearing in through a new door.
Chrono leaned closer to her and whispered "Don't worry, I'll protect you against that old one if he should try something again"
Rosette smiled at him "Thank you Chrono, you're sweet, but I wouldn't advice him to do that again, believe me… he would so regret it" she replied and grind her knuckles "At least will I be prepared for it"
Then they both laughed quietly and followed Remington further down a new corridor. How big was this building?
A/N: That was that chapter I start getting ideas again lol. Next chapter will be there soon. Please review okay?
