Who will fix me now?

Dive in when I'm down?

Save me from myself,

Don't let me drown.

- Drown - Bring me the horizon

1 week later ~

It had been a week since Rosette, Chrono and Azmaria had taken a trip to the lake. It was Azmaria's idea of course, to give them some time alone and relieve Chrono of his stress. Azmaria knew about Chrono addiction but she knew better than to pry and ask questions, from her point of view he seemed to be improving considering it has only been about 2 weeks since they arrived at her small farm house. She noticed that Chrono had become more comfortable and happier, they started reminiscing about old memories.

" Remember.. that time-" Rosette was saying with a mouthful of breakfast in her mouth. Typical Rosette, Chrono thought. "- at Christmas when Azmaria was carrying the tea and trip over the wire to the Christmas tree, and the tea spilt over Sister Kate?" She said after swallowing her food. Azmaria turned to look at her and swallowed quickly so she could reply. "That-that wasn't funny..." She looked down nervously. It was strange really.. why they had been reincarnated to become the same people and remembering all their memories like it was yesterday. Azmaria spoke again; "Remember that time, when I first came to the order and I was upset.. and you took me and Chrono to that lake and you tripped into the lake and dragged us in with you?' She giggled, a bright smile on her face, though it seemed like Chrono wasn't in the mood for reminiscing, he looked lost in thought, like he was somewhere else.

Rosette smiled, a soft ageing smile. A wise smile. It made her look more mature, beautiful. "Yeah that was fun!" She finished eating and looked toward Chrono. "Hey Chrono... you alright there?" It took a few seconds for him to snap out of his thoughts, he turned to face her, his eyes heavy. "Fine..I'm fine. I'm just tired." He smiled weakly. "Thank you for the food Azmaria." He said before discarding his plate in the sink and returning upstairs to attic bedroom. Azmaria looked at Rosette with concern. "He'll be okay, Azmaria" She replied.

Before Rosette could stand up and discard the plate, the phone rang. Azmaria stood up and answered the phone.

"Hello..?" At the sound of the voice on the other end of the call, Azmaria smiled brightly in surprise. "Father Remington! It-it's so good to hear you!" After a few words between them, Azmaria past the phone to Rosette. "Hello, Father Remington?" Said Rosette. The last time Rosette had spoken to him, it was when she had met up with him to visit Chrono. She had a feeling Father Remington wasn't just calling up to ask how Chrono was doing...Anxiety filled her voice. "Is something wrong...?

"Ah..yes there is. I do hope Chrono is feeling better now.. Or improving, at least" He spoke cautiously, minding his words.

"He's... getting there. Improving." Rosette knew he wasn't improving as much as Azmaria thought, Chrono still had problems sleeping, still flinched when he was touched. Still thought he was disgusting and worthless. It hurt her to know he felt this way and there wasn't much Rosette could do to change his mind but continue to support him. "Was that the only reason you called, Fathe-Ewan?" Rosette had forgot he was no longer a part of the order, she wasn't certain if the order was still up and running. There was a few moments of silence before Ewan replied back. "No I'm afraid not.. It's bad new. We both knew this day would come." He sighed

"There's been reports of Aion in San Francisco"

Dropping the phone to the floor, Rosette froze to the spot. Aion... In the back of her mind, she knew this day would come,Chrono too, but she was to preoccupied with helping Chrono recover. Rosette lowered herself to sit on the floor and picked up the phone, finding the will to calm down her breathing. Azmaria turned to look in her direction, concern lite up her face. "Why..! Chrono killed him.. How..how is this possible?" Rosette knew he did't have the answer. "Honestly, I don't know. He's been spotted a few times in San Francisco but for the past week..his wareabouts have been unknown...I contacted the Order of Magdalene about him, about us. I haven't worked there for a long time.. They've asked yours and Chronos presence at the order as soon as possible. I'll be on my way to pick you two up by tomorrow. Apologise for the short notice. " Rosette stood up and let out breathe. "Okay, we'll be ready." She said in a simple tone and put the phone down to face Azmaria who still help a concerning expression. "Aion is back." Azmaria gasped, a plate smashed to the ground.

Chrono lay on his bed, his hands behind in head dressed in a black cotton jumper and jeans, his hair in a ponytail, a few inches shorter now. This past few days he'd been feeling low, empty of any energy. It had been about 5 days now since he'd been clean and it wasn't easy of course; waking up at night in a sweat, emotions running high and low. Rosette put up with it all, no matter how bad. Comforting him during his breakdowns at anytime of day or night. He really did appreciate her, more than she knew, he wanted to show her how much but he couldn't. She was his saviour, the closest to Heaven than he'll ever been.

A knock came from the basement door. "Chrono"? It was Rosette. He sighed and turned his head towards the opening wooden door. Rosette steadily walked in and sat on his bed. Her goldren hair was braided and sat over her shoulder wearing a denim dress. It was strange not seeing her in her using nun outfit that she wore 80 years ago, she was beautiful. "Has anyone ever told you how beau-" He stopped mid-sentence as he noticed a rather sad expression on her face. She was silent. Chrono stood up and sat beside her. Rosette placed a hand on his cheek. He closed his eyes and breathed in, god he loved her touch, always did. He wished he could kiss her, or let her kiss him but he couldn't let himself have that moment. Opening his eyes, Rosette finally spoke; "Re- Ewan just rang... He's been sighted in San Francisco.." She spoke carefully, keeping eye contact.

Chrono's eyebrows came together in a frown. "He..?"

Silence. "Aion."

It felt like Chrono lungs deflated for a moment. He looked at her, wide eyed, shaking his head. Ewan had told him but at the time he couldn't care less what he said. Chrono bowed his head low, his bangs covering his eyes. "This doesn't make any sense." Rosette couldn't tell how he felt. Anger maybe? He swore underneath his breathe and stood up suddenly with a jolt, fists clenched. "It's not fair." His tone rising, he looked away from Rosette as if she was oblivious to him.

"I get punished...and he's still free." Rosette didn't undershand what he meant. " Remember when I said I couldn't die? That's because I can't Rosette. It's my punished. When I left to go back home... Pandemonium had been revived after the chaos. She wanted to punishe us for what we had done. We were all there, even Aion. I was willing to return back to her to face my crimes after you died but she knew how much you meant to me. Knew I would never live in your world without you... so she punished me to spend the rest of my miserable life in this world without you!" He turned to face her, tears ecscaping his eyes. She walked towards him, speechless. " I was alone, Rosette.. alone." He fell to his knees but his angel was there to catch him before he fully hit the floor completely. She whispered soflty. "Shhh, I'm here now. I'm here." She wrapped her hands around his neck. " We'll get through this Chrono. " She placed a kiss on his forehead. "I promise" Chrono let himself go and immerse himself in her embrace. If only this moment could last forever...

Bang.

A scream echoced from downstairs.

"Azmaria!" Rosette shouted.

They both turned towards the door. Chrono froze, his red eyes turning to slits. Footsteps made there way upstairs. Towards the attic.

They both stood still as if time had slowed down. There was nowhere to run. The door of the attic opened.

The tall figure came into view

Rosette remembered Ewan's words; 'his whearebouts have been uknkwown..'

"Aion..." Chrono growled.

Aion grinned. "Hello, brother."

I'm not sure where I'm taking this story but I'll think of something, I really want to finish this
