Hey guys, i just wanted to let you know i did in fact change the part about Rosette and Chrono being burried in seperate places. A reviewer let me know that both names are on the grave stone the two in seperate graves was going to play somewhat of an important role in the story, but im willing to make the correction and take on annother challenge! Thanx for the correction KonekoMiyabi Enjoy!
Naomi finished washing the dinner dishes and putting them away. It was around eleven and Ewan said he would be home around eight. Just what was that man doing every time he goes out…and why is he so late?
Shutting the blinds and locking the doors, Naomi made sure the whole house was secure. She called Sister Kate once more and let her know Ewan still was not back yet. She decided to go check on Joshua before resting herself.
Naomi walked down the hall, and quietly opened the door to Joshua's room. She looked at the bed, but he was not there. She found him sitting in a chair looking out the window.
"Joshua?" She asked right before turning the lights on. Joshua turned around to look at her. His eyes were watery and bloodshot, and she could tell he was already crying.
"What's wrong?" She asked walking toward him.
"I can't help…but to think about it…and I can't remember it. I think of nothing Naomi…I just wish I could forget I forgot everything." He said whipping another tear from his face.
"Joshua…you didn't forget everything…only some things." Naomi said putting a hand on his shoulder.
"It's not fair…everyone knows but me…why can't you just tell me? Why am I not allowed to know?" Joshua asked, more tears flowing down his cheeks.
"I know…it isn't very fair…" Naomi said rubbing his shoulders sympathetically. Joshua just stared out the window. "If I had it my way, I would tell you Joshua…you must believe me…I think everyone would tell you. I guess…for now…this is the best thing. For Ewan to agree with everyone to let you figure this out on your own there must be a very important reason why. You must have faith in him, and his decision…just like…he has faith in you." Naomi said in a comforting voice.
"Cmon…" Naomi said helping Joshua up. Joshua laid back down on his bed. "Naomi…do you think I'll ever remember?" Joshua asked looking up at her, his deep blue eyes searching her emerald green hues for a truthful answer. Naomi blushed for only a moment, and then replied.
"Yes Joshua…I know you will."
"Naomi…can I join the Order?"
"Why would you want to do that?"
"I want to be brave…I don't want to be treated like a child anymore than I already am…I feel like something is pushing me to become stronger. Something I cannot explain. I could feel it with me. Even in my dreams. I want adventure. I don't want to be stuck here all my life." Joshua said.
Naomi had no idea how to reply to that. "I….um…" Was all Naomi got out before she heard a loud knock on the front door. She exited Joshua's room and unlocked the door for Ewan who stepped inside.
"I am very sorry I'm so late, Sister Naomi." Ewan apologized.
"It's okay; I didn't burn the house down." She said sarcastically with a smile. Ewan turned to look at her and chuckled. "Yes I can see that…" He said
Naomi decided to stop hesitating and let Ewan have it…or as much as she can handle…
"Father Remington I think Joshua should join the order!" Naomi bit out.
Ewan froze looking out the window.
"…Sister Naomi…I am no longer a member of the order and no longer a…"
"I don't care what you say you are or are not…"
"Sister Naomi!" Ewan bit out. Naomi stopped, turning bright red.
"I understand…where you are getting all of this from but you must remember…if Joshua…was to become a part of the order…he would figure things out…about the astral line…demons…He will remember Rosette and Chrono…his life with Aion…he will become conscious of the reasons why Rosette died…he's only twelve…he cannot handle it. If there is a way we can get him out of his twelve year old state, we could help him with his memories…"
"It's not right. I understand it all but…other people have painful pasts as well…they must deal with them too…surely you must know…"
"I do…and I agree it is not fair. It's not fair, but it's safe."
"Goodnight sir." Naomi exited the house and headed for her car. She left the house with another battle lost to Ewan Remington. One day, she would win.
Wow, that was a short one! Oh no….Joshua is sick again…I guess that means I will have to be working overtime! Ah well I hope he gets better fast Join us next time for chapter four of Chrono Crusade: Joshua's Crusade, Just A Cold
