One Hand {Elizabeth}
Hmm ... I guess I've always been kind of a loner. When I first arrived at the Magdalene Order, most of the other girls my age wouldn't speak to me. Well, then again, they were all being brats and spreading nasty rumors about Chrono and I (not that they weren't true, but still!) so maybe it was for the best that we didn't get along. I tended to lose my temper at them really easily, too. ^.^; There was one girl though who would talk to me. Her name was Beth and she was some sort of "behavioral monitor" or something like that. She seemed like she really wanted me to get along with everyone and be a good girl or whatever. It really rankled me but ... at least she was looking out for me, I guess. They had to keep Chrono locked up at first, so I hardly got to see him ... even after ... damn, I can't remember that part.
Anyway, there was this one evening where I'd had enough and I snuck in to see Chrono anyway. He was being kept in the Elder's room, I think ... Who was the Elder again anyway? Beth caught me doing it and I remember being really angry because she started talking badly about Chrono too. Just like the other girls. She must have been worried about me getting violent or something ^.^; because she backed up and knocked out a power cord. With the power gone, some demon that was being studied was allowed to escape. It tried to attack Beth but Chrono protected her with his own body. The thing dragged him and Beth off across the Order grounds, and I knew once an alert was sounded that probably both of them would be wiped out.
I couldn't let that happen.
I hadn't even started my training yet, but I grabbed a gun and went after it. I remember the first time I held it. It was so heavy and hard to shoot. I was worried I was going to shoot Chrono and if I did that ... but Beth gave me the idea of shooting a car instead. It exploded, heh heh heh! and the demon-thing dropped Chrono. I still couldn't get a bead on it though, until Chrono managed to steady my hand and we shot it together.
I don't remember if I was laughing or crying in relief after that. ^.^;
That was really a crazy night. But, it's kind of funny. After that, it was a little easier for me to get along with people. And then Beth had to leave. She hadn't ever really wanted to go to the Order. I guess her father made her or something and when she died she decided she wanted to go back to her mother.
She was a nice girl, for the most part. I wonder where she is and what she's doing now.
Mmm ... The church has been really boring and quiet recently. I guess everyone's faith is at an all-time low, huh. Er, I'm not really very good at that sort of thing, but if anyone wants to come by, feel free. ^.^;
