Someone Save Me If You Will [Completed]

[nun-with-guns.livejournal.com]

Characters: Rosette Christopher, whoever else wishes to join
Content: Rosette is dropped off after the experiments and is in a very bad way. Somebody please come save her?
Setting: Joutenheim Gate
Time: Afternoon
Warnings: None so far.

Rosette had only a vague awareness that she'd been moved. Everything else had been drowned out in the numbness that had taken hold of her body. Feeling the warm sun, a stark contrast to...to wherever it was she had been, on her skin, she finally managed to open her eyes a crack. Ground. She'd been dropped in the middle of the street.

She tried to reach out to the pairs of boots passing her by, to call for help, to do something to draw attention to her plight. It was no use - the words froze in her throat, and her body refused to respond to anything she tried to do.

So she lay there numb, trapped in a body to which she no longer had any connection and praying for somebody, anybody, to stop and help her.

Hearing her voice stumbling to just say his name wretched at him further. "Rosette.. it's alright, Rosette.. you're safe now.." It was a half-kept promise. Chrno failed to protect her the first time. This world was unlike their's. What could he do? He wanted to do everything, but to know that he couldn't even keep her safe..

The watch around her neck was bothering him, now that he was holding her in an embrace, mainly pulling her into his lap and wrapping his arms around her upper torso, glancing down at her, willing silently for her to wake up, to open her eyes..

Was the pocket watch broken? Was that what was keeping her like this? He knew nothing of the mechanics behind it, just of the pact that sealed Rosette's fate together with his. Still, it didn't look how it usually did, and that was unsettling enough.

A hand hovered over it, hesitant to touch it, since he didn't like her even having it all that much..
