A/N: Chapter 26. Very long chapter this time Please review. And Aion is coming hooommmeee :D
Chrono woke up with a great headache. He didn't know how long he had been asleep.
He let his eyes travel around the unfamiliar room, groaning in pain when he turned his head. He was all alone in the small room. A few pictures hung on the walls, all showing either half naked young girls or landscapes. In a corner lay a big pile of some magazines that definitely didn't belong in a convent.
"Where am I here?" he asked himself and rubbed his eyes "Why am I alone?"
He didn't remember what had happened, he knew Rosette had overslept and that Remington had drove them to the convent. He remembered a strong pain and then a blackout.
He tried to sit up, but he was totally exhausted "I need some aspirin" he mumbled, closing his eyes again.
The door was opened and a little girl peeked inside. Chrono opened one eye to see who it was. He noticed a little girl with long silvery hair. She had a tray with her "Hello Sir" she greeted "How are you today?"
Chrono groaned and closed his eyes once more "Terrible… my head is killing me"
The small girl smiled "I brought you some painkillers, you should feel better when you take those" she said and reached him a glass and two small white pills "Thank you" Chrono said, before he swallowed them.
"I brought you some food, it should make you feel better too… there is soup, bread, chicken, some vegetables and as a desert there are some fresh fruits from the convent garden… the apples a very good" the girl explained.
Chrono smiled slightly "Thanks, who are you anyway?" he asked, when he sat up slowly. The little girl blushed "Oops, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself" she squeaked and made a bow "My name is Azmaria Hendric" she said.
"Are you an apprentice?" he asked, noticing the pink uniform she was wearing.
"Yes I am" she smiled "And I am almost like you"
"How's that?" he asked confused, seeing absolutely no similarities between them.
"I have powers just like you… we are many here that have been born with special abilities" she explained "I for example am an Apostle, I sometimes change too"
"Do-Do you change into a demon as well?" he asked, not believing that a little girl like her could transform into such a monster like he could. She shook her head though "Oh no, I change into a creature with big feathery wings, and Angel" she smiled "I have the ability to heal people and sometimes even bring them back from the dead"
"Wauw" he mumbled amazed
The girl blushed "It doesn't happen often though, only when I sing"
"I sing too" Chrono smiled
"Really? That's great" the girl said, fascinated.
Their chat was interrupted when Sister Kate entered the room. Chrono shrunk back a little.
"Azmaria, did you bring him his breakfast?" she asked the little girl
"Yes I did Sister Kate" Azmaria replied
"That's good, could you make me some tea then please"
"Of course Sister Kate" Azmaria made a formal bow and then disappeared back out the door "Bye Sir" she called, before she vanished out of sight.
Kate stood in front of him, a stern look on her face "You were very lucky you know that? Hadn't it been for the girl, you would have been dead now"
Chrono nodded and dropped his head. He was about to answer her, when the door opened. Rosette peeked in and saw Chrono awake "Hey, how are you" she asked and walked fully into the room. She noticed the headnun and greeted her "Hello Sister Kate"
"Hello Rosette, how did you sleep?" Kate asked, a slight smile on her face
Rosette smiled back "Wonderful, I wish I had such a bed at home" she replied
"That's good, I'll make someone bring you some breakfast" she said before she exited the door and left them alone.
"I was really worried about you" Rosette said "How do you feel?"
Chrono smiled "I feel better, a little girl brought me painkillers"
"That's good" she smiled, but the smile soon faded "Aion is coming home today" she murmured "I don't know what to do"
Chrono pulled her over and made her sit down on the bed beside him "Just relax, it will be alright, I'll be there too" he said "Think about all the times he has lied to you… does that make you hesitate?"
She shook her head "No… that damn jerk how could he? After all I have ever done for him… I thought he was the prince of my dreams, but in real he was only the ugly frog… and he loves the witch more than me" she growled, her blood starting to boil of anger.
Chrono grinned "Seems a storm is coming huh Rosette?" he asked
"There sure is" she smirked "I'm just happy to get rid of him… I hate him" she wished him thousand curses and a half, while Chrono just lay there, getting more and more scared of her.
Later that day, when it was time to go to the airport, Chrono didn't have so much headache anymore.
Remington drove them to the airport and said goodbye to them there.
Rosette was very nervous and Chrono could feel it. He placed a comforting hand on her shoulder while they entered the big building.
It was all full of people, many carrying big suitcases and bags around. Rosette let her eyes travel around, hoping she could see the white hair of her ex-boyfriend somewhere in the crowd.
Chrono helped her looking. Rosette was the first to find him though, but what she saw only made the anger inside of her boil even more. Aion was in a tight embrace with a woman with long brown hair. They had obviously not seen her yet "Rizelle" Rosette growled dangerously.
She now just wanted to kick his arse as hard as she could and then throw something hard at him.
Aion let the woman go and kissed her lips before moving away from her. He first noticed Rosette a few minutes after, not knowing that the blonde had seen the scene between him and his lover.
Rosette put on a fake smile, almost making Chrono want to run away. He shivered and stepped a few steps away from her. He almost felt a little sorry for Aion, but only a tiny bit.
Aion smiled brightly at her and opened his arms. Rosette didn't move though. Aion didn't care and just walked up to her, pulling her into his arms and into a tight hug "I missed you so my darling" he whispered into her ear and found her lips with his own.
Rosette didn't feel anything except rage. She might have started to giggle and blush before, but right now, she was absolutely like ice.
Chrono backed further away from the ticking bomb.
Aion's kiss deepened further and she had to push him away, not wanting it to go any further "What's wrong darling? Didn't you miss me as well?" he asked, continuing his caresses on her neck.
"I couldn't wait for you to come home hun" she cooed sweetly, too sweetly. Aion smiled and kissed her cheek then back to her neck.
Chrono had the feeling; the bomb would explode very soon now. For good measure, he stepped an extra step back.
"Aion?" Rosette cooed
"Mmm…" he responded, still nuzzling her neck.
"You know about the surprise?"
"Mmm…"
"Well… the surprise is…" she trailed off, throwing a look back at Chrono.
Chrono was already making the countdown. 3… 2…1… aaannnddd…
She slowly lifted her right leg backwards "The surprise is… THIS!!" she kicked him as hard as she could in the groin, making him crumple in pain "AHRR" he roared, falling to his knees.
"R-R-Rosette… WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO THAT FOR" he roared angrily
She smirked down at his shivering form "That honey was only my revenge" she said sweetly
"WHAT? WHY DID YOU DO THAT DAMMIT?" He asked and tried to get up when the pain slowly ceased.
"Oh darling… don't tell me you don't remember what happened a few minutes ago" she cooed
"What do you mean?" he asked angrily, now standing on shaky legs.
"I mean what happened between you and Rizelle… you have been enjoying the little vacations with her haven't you?"
Aion cursed "THAT WASN'T-"
Then what was it? Tell me the truth if you can…" she growled "But you can't tell me the truth can you? Because I know all the truth already you filthy jerk"
Chrono was just staring at the couple, happy that he wasn't in Aion's place right now.
"And you don't even need to come home, cause all your stuff is on the dump already" the blonde continued "The place where you obviously belong as well"
"YOU HAVE WHAT?" Aion roared "HOW DARE YOU DO ALL THIS AFTER ALL I HAVE GIVEN YOU? IF IT WASN'T FOR ME, THOSE GUYS FROM BACK THEN WOULD HAVE RAPED YOU, OR EVEN WORSE"
"Yes… I know that… and I thought you were the rescuing prince who would give me the happily ever after… I now know I was wrong all the time" she growled "Because you're nothing more than an ugly filthy frog now a liar"
"THAT'S IT, I'D HAD IT WITH YOU" Aion growled "IT'S OVER BETWEEN US"
Rosette fumed "FINE… IT WAS ALREADY OVER BEFORE YOU GOT INTO THAT DAMN PLANE THOUGH… GO AWAY… BE WITH YOUR RIZELLE, I DON'T CARE… I'M BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU ANYWAY…"
"YOU DAMN GIRL… MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT… I AM MUCH BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU AS WELL… RIZELLE AT LEAST TREATS ME FAR BETTER THAN YOU… I'M JUST HAPPY TO GET AWAY FROM YOU…"
She slapped his cheek hardly and kicked him a second time for good measure, then she turned on her heels and started running off.
Aion glared after her and threw an even nastier glare at Chrono "I don't want to see either her or you ever again, do you understand?" he hissed before he disappeared into the crowd.
Chrono was like a stone figure, the first few seconds after. He noticed a crowd around him; they had all watched the scene without the couple even noticing. ¨
Chrono smiled sheepishly and backed slowly away from them, intending to find the blonde. The crowd then slowly vanished as well.
Chrono found the blonde at the parking lot, she leaned against a car and had her face hidden in her hands. Chrono walked slowly closer to her, stopped beside her to lay a hand on her shoulder "Hey… what's wrong?" he asked her softly
She sniffed and looked up at him, tears trailing down her red cheeks. He couldn't stand to see her cry and pulled her into a warm embrace, where she cried harder. Chrono whispered to her soothingly "Shhh… its okay… it's over now… you don't need to see him anymore… he's gone" he said and tightened his grip around her shaking shoulders "You don't have to care about him anymore… he's gone… I'm here for you and always will…"
