Chapter 4 – The Rosenkreutz Order
Rose stirred slightly, but refused to open her eyes. She was lying on a soft, fluffy material, but the light was dim and flickering, like a candle. She finally managed to persuade herself to look around, and was slightly shocked at the difference between now and the countless other times she had lost consciousness.
The room was decorated a dark velvety red, and purple drapes hung heavily over the windows. Candles were set in almost every nook and cranny, and the impression was that of an occult room.
The only real odd thing, was a small blinking red light directly in front of her on a table. The light was coming from a laptop.
Rose crawled over to the laptop, and peered intently at the screen. A small square appeared in the middle of the screen, and it enlarged rapidly.
And then a flash.
Rose was thrown back, not by any physical force, but by the brilliance of the light. Her mind felt muddled, and she sat, unable to comprehend or do anything.
Clearly hearing the heavy steel door open, she did not pay any attention to it, nor the voice that spoke to her.
"Rose, are you prepared to learn about the Methuselah and the Rosenkreutz?" A tall man with long dark hair said, wandering around and typing on the computer.
Rose nodded numbly, her brain too befuddled to understand the concept between agreeing and disagreeing. The dark haired man smiled.
"Good. Now, please pay attention, as I will only speak of this once," Rose nodded dumbly again, and the man settled in a comfortable looking chair.
"The Rosenkreutz is an order founded by Lord Cain and myself. You can consider us as the new world order. Science and religion are waging an ever continuous war, and the Rosenkreutz is destined to re-create the world as new.
"Rosenkreutz is composed mainly of vampires, and those who follow the ways of Lord Cain. He is the most powerful of us all, and will stop at nothing to bring the Rosenkreutz to justice. His devotion shows through his sparring with his wrongful siblings, who claim to be working for the right, to help the terrans attempt to succeed.
"Lord Cain has been working on the heart of the Rosenkreutz project for eons, long before the Order was established. There was a prophecy, 500 years ago, that told of a fifth being, of the legendary Crusnik siblings. This fifth sibling holds the power to control the outcome of this war. The side that truly discovered the being first is the one who truly deserve the right to hold justice.
"This prophecy was told by Lilith Sahl, the fourth of the Crusniks. Her power, Clairvoyance, allowed her to see this. But she refused to openly tell Lord Cain of it, and he therefore was forced to torture the information out of her. Once the prophecy was unveiled, Lilith was a wreck, her mental state irreversible. Master Cain disposed of her, and the search began,"
The man paused, searching Rose's eyes for any sign of mistrust or confusion. Rose just continued to stare at him vacantly, absorbing in every little detail, for her mind only seemed able to do that. He took a slight breath, and continued.
"For five hundred years, Master Cain searched for the being, and established the Rosenkreutz Order in hope that they could help accomplish this feat.
"The being was discovered to have been taken in by the Catholic Church, but they were unknowing of its ability, and what it could accomplish.
"My dearest accomplice, Dietrich, was the one who caught wind of the subject. He noticed a young girl wandering the streets of Vatican City, during the dead of the night, following another of our associates. He watched and examined from the shadows, as the girl transformed into an unstoppable and merciless force, and slaughter our dear friend.
"Dietrich returned to the Order immediately, and informed Lord Cain and myself of this happening. And so we spread our most skilled hunters around the Vatican, and worked until we finally discovered the girl had been adopted into the Catholic Church.
"We finally managed to abduct the being, and brought her back to headquarters. And here she is now, being informed of her duty to this world, to this universe.
"You are the fifth Crusnik. We have studied your genes and nanomachines, the mechanical cells which allow you to be what you are. The results show that you are able to control your strength and power, without needing to activate the machines. Like Lord Cain. You are already, as we speak, at a power level that can cause damage. You are like this at all time, but can increase or decrease the intensity of it, just with a thought.
"You are also able to produce any sort of weapon from your own blood, therefore do not have a unique signature. This is one of the things that separates you from Master Cain, the Priest Abel Nightroad, and Seth Nightroad, who is also the empress.
"Your unique ability is anything to do with your mental state. You have the power of Telekinesis, Clairvoyance, and Telepathy. You can control objects, preview into the future, and communicate with another, all through your mind.
"You, also hold the ability to shape shift. Though you may not be able to mimic the strength and intelligence of that which you imitate, you continue to hold your own abilities and strength,"
The man sighed, and smiled as he stood, indicating that the conversation was coming to a close.
"This has all been learned through your blood. Amazing substance, isn't it? The life force of every being. Most likely the most powerful matter in the entirety of space itself," The man continued, turning and tapping away on the computer, which began to flash red once again.
"You are one unique being, Rose Nightroad, and I look forward to working with you in the very near future," He turned and stood at the door, glancing between the laptop and the motionless Rose.
"Please pay attention to the screen, and you shall be returned to your former state, but with that information embedded into that amazing brain of yours," He turned and left, gently closing the steel door behind him, a clicking sound echoing as it was locked.
Rose obediently leaned in and gazed at the screen, seemingly transfixed by the flashing red. She felt her mind become more alert, yet she felt, somehow more powerful. The flashing stopped, and Rose sighed, falling back onto the bed.
'I must speak with Master Cain,' She thought suddenly, a dominating and seemingly foreign part of her brain overpowering the reasonable part. She stood up, snapped the laptop screen shut, and walked over to the door. She hammered at it with her fist, after testing the handle, which was locked.
"Let me out!" Rose demanded loudly, punching the steel door and leaving evident dents. "I am going to see Master Cain!"
She heard an awful bout of laughter faintly behind the thick door, and she felt her blood boil with rage. She stood back, and concentrated on the door. A creaking sound echoed through the massive room, and then the horrible sound of twisting metal erupted as the door was ripped off its hinges. It hung in the air phantom-like, and Rose gazed at the shocked man behind it.
She flicked her hand at him, and he was crushed between the flying door and the wall instantaneously, with a sickening crunch.
Rose strode out of the room purposefully, her eyes glowing faintly and mixing with the fluorescent lighting that lit the hallway she was heading down. Her body somehow seemed to know where it was going, turning pointedly around corners. If someone she knew well saw her at the moment, that someone would realise horribly that this Rose was not the same kind teenager they knew once.
This Rose was filled with harsh intent, no mercy or kindness whatsoever. Those that tried to oppress her were instantly doomed.
AN: ooh, Rose is EVILLY now!! XDDD doomliness much.
