...Just a Hope...

Kratos' POV
"You're name is Lloyd?" I said turning from Phaidra to the red clad young boy -no, young man- behind me.
He's alive... he's really alive! I worked to keep my face netrual as he replied.
"Who are you to ask my name?" Just like Anna all thoughs years ago. He has her hair too, and probably her smile as well, but my eyes.
"My name is Kratos..." I replied, looking for a reaction from Lloyd to my name but none came. "I'm a Merconary," I continued using the cover story Mithos came up with for me. "and for a price I will undertake the task of protecting the Chosen."
"We have little money. But under the circumstances, I have little choice..." Phaidra said and I turned back to her. "Please, be of service." She finished.
"It's a deal then." I said turning towards the temple entrence.
"W...wait! I'm going too!" Lloyd said stepping towards me.
"Lloyd." I said turning towards him, "You'll only be in the way. Be a good boy and wait here." Where it's safe I silently added.
"What did you say?!" He snaped at me, making me freeze for a split second, Anna...That was so like Anna...
"Did I not make myself clear? Your a burden." forgive me, Son "Go home." Yes home where your safe...
"Um...Mr. Kratos," Colette's voice interuped my thoughts. "Would it be okay to take Lloyd along too?" She asked.
"...But..." He wont be safe if he comes with us!
"Please. I get nervous when Lloyd's not around." I paused for a moment. "...Do as you wish." I said walking towards the temple, Colette following I will protect you Lloyd.
"Come on Genis!' I heard Lloyd say.
"What? I'm going too?"
"Of corse!" I heard and mentely sighed, "This is not a feild trip you know." I said as I walked into the temple just hearing Lloyd say: "Thanks Colette!" and her reply of: "It's the truth!".
"Maybe some day..." I muttered.
"What did you say?" Lloyd asked catching up to me.
"Nothing...Just a Hope..."
