Okay. So this is Rose's story from her point of view.
Concrete Angel Rose's Story
A man dressed completely in white stood in a field blanketed in blood. He laughed coldly. Bodies lay strewn across it. This wasn't a battlefield; this was a graveyard. There was no way they could've protected themselves. The attack was too fast, too strong. Not even God could have saved them from an attack like this. Another man strode forward, holding a young girl roughly by her arm. "This is the one you were promised, Lord Ion." he whispered. Ion grinned. "She'll do." He said, looking into the girls eyes.
Lord Ion was the head honcho of a group called Fat'ali Ryuin. Most of the people inside referred to it as 'The Agency.' Giving away such information as the name wasn't smart. It could get you killed if you didn't k now what you were doing. It was a large group of people who specified in certain skills. Each person had a sub-group. But, before the sub-groups, there were categories. The heads of the Fat'ali Ryuin never told you which one you were in, but most could guess. The groups were the Trusted and Betrayals.
The little girl looked terrified. She wasn't all that old. She was maybe eight or nine. Too young for what the man had planned for her. He took her by the hand and led her across the field, towards a small house. "You'll be marked." He said in an odd tone. The girl was confused by his tone. What was he going to do? Ion took her into the small house. The lock clicked as he closed the door behind him.
Awhile later, the door reopened, Lord Ion stepped out of the house fixing his suit; a grin sat oddly on his lips. "I'll be back for you." He said, his tone demeaning. The young girl sat twisted in sheets of a disgraced bed. Her face dirty with tear stained cheeks. She didn't really understand what had happened, but it would change her forever. A girl with lilac eyes ran into the room, with a boy a bit older than herself.
The girl felt herself being scooped up into the boys arms. "That bastard," He growled out. Vyolet looked at him. "What do you think he did? She asked. "You know what he did, Vi." Kronas replied hotly. Vyolet covered her mouth and stared at him. "You don't think he..." She couldn't finish her sentence. Kronas sighed and hugged Rose closer to him. "I know he did."

Won't You Wake Up?
Majin snarled as he shoved the two girls out the door. He slammed the door leaving them to themselves. Rose, now twelve, smiled slightly as Vyolet, who was now 17 laughed. "Did you see the look on his face?" Vyolet burst into another fit of laughter. Rose nodded. The girls had played a prank on their father. They didn't feel bad at all about it. Quite frankly, they hated the man. He was the one who gave Rose over to Lord Ion. Kronas hadn't been happy about it either.
Rose would never forgive him for that. Ever. She had no reason to do such a thing. He deserved any amount of misfortune he got. Vyolet smiled a bit, "Why don't we play a game?" She asked. Rose perked up in the slightest. "Which one?" She asked quietly. "Hide and go seek. I'll hide, you seek." Vyolet grinned. "Ready, set, Go!" She ran off to go hide as Rose turned around and counted aloud. "1...2...3...4...5..." Rose kept counting until she reached 30.
"Ready or not! Here I come!" She turned around, her eyes darting across the surrounding area. Rose poked around the outside of the house, searching for Vyolet. She didn't notice someone moving in the trees. Rose turned and looked towards the woods after she searched everywhere else. It was starting to get dark. "Vyolet! I give up!" She called. There wasn't an answer. "Come on Vyolet...This isn't funny anymore..." Rose sighed. She decided to head into the woods to look for Vyolet.
The darkness scared her a bit. She wasn't used to being out so late. The woods were pitch black. Rose couldn't see a thing. Her powers weren't all that strong at this age. The most she could get was a small glow. Rose turned as she heard a rustling in the trees. "Vyolet...?" There was no way it was Vyolet. Vyolet was terribly afraid of heights. She'd never climb up into a tree. Rose saw the flash of a dagger in the moonlight as the person in the trees disappeared.
"Vyolet, can we please go inside now..." Rose pleaded. She wanted to go back inside her house and hide. The woods were making her nervous. Another noise caused Rose to run. She ran before tripping over something on the ground. Rose froze up for a moment. She turned her head slowly, letting a bit of energy light the area. Vyolet lay on the ground, cold and lifeless as ever. Rose's scream pierced the silence of the peaceful night.
Kronas ran outside of the house, hearing Rose. "Rose?!" He yelled frantically. Kronas trekked into the woods, looking for Rose and Vyolet. His eyes adapted to the darkness quickly. That was the element he worked with. It should be easy enough. He finally caught up to where Rose and Vyolet were. Rose sat huddled, blood dried up to her elbows from trying to save Vyolet. She looked up at Kronas. "I couldn't save her..." She sobbed. Kronas fell to his knees beside his little sisters. It was going to be a long night.
Yeah. These chapters are like...Hecka short.

Hey Miss Murder
Red eyes stared out a stained glass window of a enormous building. Rain slid down the glass. A storm raged on the outside of the 'castle' as you could call it. On the inside, it was a different story. A girl of maybe sixteen sat on a chair next to the window. Her eyes were dull, lifeless. That's what happens when you waste your life away in something as brutal as the Fat'ali Ryuin. The girls eyes drifted down to her hands, which were neatly folded in her lap. She unlaced them and stared.
It was a bit hard to imagine that only twenty minutes earlier they were stained red with an innocents blood. Though, in her eyes, the person wasn't all that innocent. Her realities were twisted now. Her innocence was gone. Very gone. The people who she knew when she was younger wouldn't even recognize her now. She was a trusted agent for the Fat'ali Ryuin. She had worked her way up, gained trust. She was conniving and very blunt. Her eyes flicked away from her hands to look around the room. It was almost medieval style. Very dark. Rose folded her hands and closed her eyes, listening. She heard feet rushing down the hall. A small girl with blond hair opened the door. The girl couldn't have been more than three years younger than Rose herself. "Rosette?" The girl called. Rose opened her eyes and looked at the girl. "Hello Solace." Solace smiled a bit and closed the door, stepping in. She folded her arms in front of her, holding a few files.
Rose watched Solace as she shifted. "What's wrong Solace?" She rose an eyebrow and leaned back in her seat. "Nothing, Rosette." Solace strode forward and handed Rose the files. "These are for you. They're from Lord Ion. You have a new job." Solace took a step back and folded her arms behind her back. "Thank you. You can leave." Rose glanced up from the files and nodded. Solace turned and left, locking Rose's door behind her. Rose sighed and looked down at the files before opening them.
Quite a few names were put down on paper. Armok Everhate: Leader of the Shadow Clan. Isaac "Assassin": Shadow Clan Soldier, Assassin. Hawk Of Aldria: Princess of the Aldrian Tribe. Cutlass: Mercenary. Wolf: Shadow Clan Soldier/Mercenary. BlazerKid: Shadow Clan Warrior. Katie Hatcher: Shadow Clan Warrior. PaperFlowers: Shadow Clan Priestess. AFR: Shadow Clan Warrior. Hikari Moriyaku: Exiled Princess. Rose read through the names and shook her head. She had never had such a tight group of warriors. This would be interesting.
Rose promptly began to get her stuff together. She'd be preparing for a long job. Joy. She wouldn't be grabbing clothes. No. Weapons. Rose tousled her hair and looked at herself in her vanity mirror. She sighed and walked out the door, heading towards the front of the building. She walked past groups of people, not making eye contact with anyone. Rose just looked straight at the door. She had no friends here. She didn't need them. Rose left the building and went through a portal, on to the real world.

If You Lie, You Don't Deserve To Have Friends
After a few days, Rose had gotten herself into the tight knit group called The Shadow Clan. Some people were very interesting. Her emotions had been changing fast. She hated it. It shouldn't be like this. She shouldn't care. Rose had been helping them when she should have been plotting their downfall. But she wasn't. She was ignoring anything she was getting from the Fat'ali Ryuin. She was denying any allegations that were being held against her.
Rose sat up on her bed and looked across the dark room at her mirror. She scowled at it, not liking the image staring back at her. Disgusting. Traitor. She had no idea what she was doing. She had to do something. Rose shook her head and stood, leaving her room to go up to the roof. Her footsteps fell quietly, quite naturally in fact. She soon found herself up at the roof, holding the side of her head as she usually did. Rosette...Rosette...Why aren't you responding? She growled. "Dammit..." She muttered.
AFR had heard Rose's bed room door slam. Curious, he stood and followed Rose up to the roof, quiet as ever as to not alert her. He rose an eyebrow, hearing Rose mutter to herself. What was going on? Rose had been really off since she got here. She didn't make any efforts to get close to people. Was she scared? Aw. That wasn't cool. AFR wanted to get her involved with the Shadow Clan. No man left behind right? Right. AFR stopped at the door, hearing someone else outside.
She leaned against the railing, not listening close enough. Someone approached her, putting a hand on her shoulder. Rose whipped around and gave a sigh of relief. It was just Ion. She seemed to be relieved, but truly she wasn't. Rose had been dodging any accusations of being a traitor. She was a little scared that she would be reprimanded. That was not something she didn't want at this point. "Rosette. You haven't been responding. Why?" He asked, eyes cold as ice. She seemed to look down, submissively.
Rose wouldn't look up. When she didn't answer, her collar tightened a bit, causing her discomfort. "I...I haven't gotten anything yet." Liar. AFR poked his head out, listening. He spotted Ion and was confused. He saw the glow around the collar and knew what was going on in the slightest. He wasn't going to get involved just yet. Rose growled and backed up a bit, grabbing at her collar. "Rosette, tell me what you've learned." Rose looked like she was frantic. And she was. She was panicking.
This, is when AFR stepped in. "Leave her alone." He said as he opened the door. Ion looked over at him, sizing him up. He laughed. "And who might you be?" AFR crossed his arms with a scowl."I shouldn't have to tell you. Leave. Now." He shot. Ion could only laugh. He took Rose by the chin roughly and smiled. "Pick your side Rosette," His smile turned sadistic. "Make it a good one." And in a instant, he disappeared. Rose staggered back, catching her breath as the tightness on the collar was released.
She looked at AFR. Oh god. He knew. He'd tell them. What was she going to do? She liked it here. But...the Fat'ali Ryuin was all she'd ever known. She couldn't turn on them now. They took her in... By force. Her eyes turned dark as she pushed past AFR. He grabbed her arm to stop her. "Who was that?" He asked, eyes questioning. Rose yanked away. "No one." He ran and threw himself up against the door. "You're not leaving until you tell me." His face hardened a bit as he watched her. Rose sighed and crossed her arms. "I'm not telling you." She growled.
AFR wouldn't move. He told her he wasn't moving. "Let me go." She said quietly, her head bowed. Her voice wavered a bit. AFR reached out to her, only to have his hand smacked away. "Don't...touch me." She pushed him out of the way and ran down the stairs back to her room. Ion ruined her cover. She didn't want to leave. She didn't...Rose couldn't. She slammed the door and leaned against it. She heard footsteps coming down the hall. They stopped in front of her door. It was AFR. He put his hand to the door. "You don't have to do it on your own." He said quietly.
Rose looked down. "I don't need your help." She said just as quiet as he. "I didn't say you did. But if you want it...It's there." AFR's hand dropped from the door before he headed back to the living room, solemn as ever. He couldn't help her right now. Not before she helped herself. Rose slid down her door and put her face in her hands. She let the tears slide down her face. It had been many years since she'd cried. She needed this. She needed to cry right now. Rose curled up against the door and sobbed. She'd have to figure out what meant more to her. The Shadow Clan or the Fat'ali Ryuin.

Everyone’s A Let Down
Rose lay curled up on her bed. She didn’t have any plans of leaving her room just yet. She was terrified of what would be the consequences. She was scared someone would tell. What if AFR told? She’d be done for. She couldn’t live with that. No… Not after all that work and she was getting attached. Why was she getting attached to these people? It made no sense to her. They were people she was destroying. Not…saving. On the battle field she was running around helping Hawk heal people and keeping herself from being killed. Sometimes she would just stop and think What the hell am I doing…? But she always kept going.
She sat up in her bed, her room filled with darkness. She stared at the door, listening as people walked past. She sighed and got up. Rose shook her hair out and got dressed. She opened the door and stepped out. It would be horrible if she did run into AFR or even Armok. She was already very nervous. Lets let it get even worse. Rose watched AFR walked past her. She made eye contact with him. He looked down and quickened his pace. Rose turned and watched him go.
AFR was going out to find Armok. He was worried. Very very worried. That guy who was on the roof yesterday that was talking to Rose. Or, hurting Rose. He didn’t know the connection. Rose had refused to tell him. That’s what also worried him. Why wouldn’t Rose tell him? He shook his head and knocked on the door. “You may enter.” Said a voice from inside the room. Armok. Of course. AFR opened the door and stepped inside. “What did you need to speak with me about?” Armok asked, sitting back in his chair.
“It’s Rose.” AFR sighed. Armok rose an eyebrow. “What about her?” He questioned. AFR folded his arms and leans back against the wall. “There was a guy on the roof last night with Rose. He seemed to have some type of control over her.” Armok thought for a moment. “What else did he say?” AFR thought for a moment. “I didn’t hear all of it.” Armok sighed. “I see. Well, I guess we’ll have to confront her about it.” AFR really didn’t want to, but he nodded his head.
Rose had earlier escaped to the roof. She didn’t want to be around anyone right now. She knew what was coming. Rose leaned on the railing and looked around. She heard the door open. It was Kat. “Rose, Armok wants to see you in the conference room.” Rose sighed and stood up. She followed Kat down the stairs to the conference room. When they walked in, everyone was sitting at a table. Rose suddenly felt like she was on trial. And that’s probably what was going to happen.
“Rose, it has come to our attention that you’re holding a secret back from us.” Assassin said, watching her. Rose crossed her arms and shifted. “Are these allegations correct?” He asked after a few moments. Rose didn’t answer. “Rose, if you do not respond, we will have to take measures.” Armok said. Rose sighed and nodded. “Yes, I am.” She finally answered. Rose shifted uncomfortably. “What secret is it?” Hawk asked, chiming in. Rose thought for a moment. She couldn’t lie again. Rose waved her hand, files dropping down from seemingly nowhere. She walked forward and threw a stack of files on the table.
Names were scribbled across them with a picture attached to the front. Armok picked up a file with an old picture of himself on it. He scowled as he flipped through it. Inside the files bulks were viles of various colors. Armok picked one up and looked at it. “What is this?” He asked. “Poison…” Rose said quietly. She summoned the vile to her hand. She opened it and poured a drip of it on to the table. After a moment, the liquid sizzled and burned through the table. “That would have been your insides.”
Armok looked at the table, as did everyone else. Kari scoffed. “That wouldn’t have had any effect on me.” Rose looked up, narrowing her eyes. She tossed Kari’s vile to her. “Dare you to drink it.” Kari caught it. The liquid was clear. But, that’s the best kind. Kari tossed it back. “You first.” Rose popped open the vile and downed it. Nothing happened. “You do realize each of these are made for the person specially, right?” Rose asked, setting the empty vile down. Kari glared at her. “If she’s trying to kill us, she should leave.” Kari growled.
Rose looked down. She wouldn’t protect herself from this. She deserved it. “If she was going to kill us, wouldn’t she have done it already?” AFR asked. Armok looked at him. “Can you vouch for her?” AFR shook his head. “The man on the roof said that Rose wouldn’t give him information.” He looked over at Rose, who’s head was still bowed. “We’ll have a decision tomorrow.” Armok stood and walked past Rose out of the room, as did everyone else. She stood still. AFR paused, standing next to her. “You’re not a bad person, Rose.” She nodded before AFR left the room as well.
