Hidden Feelings

Raine's POV

I've been watching him, the purple clad mercernay, Kratos. He's intellegent, serious, and harsh...almost as if it was due to a great burden. He's constantly mentioning how he must atone for his sins...but what sins are those? Ever since that mix up with the assassin at the edge of the Ossa Trail...I've found myself drawn to him. Wishing to speak with him, getting to know him a little more. Could it be possible...could I feel something deeper for this man?

Kratos' POV

She looks at me...quite frequently lately. I fear there is something embarassing about my appearance. Then she speaks and her reasons for looking are much diffrerent to what I had suspected them to be. She questions me about my sins, many times. Things that, perhaps, will be revealed with time.

Raine's POV

"Kratos?" I spoke quietly, should I tell him? How I feel? He turns to me and is silent...silent like he always is. So much thought and so much intellegance is stored within his mind just waiting to burst free...but yet he says nothing. "May I speak with you in private?" He winced...did I do something wrong? No...no, he's scared of what I want to talk to him about. He scared of the information I seek...what for?

Kratos' POV

We walked the beach near camp. She was quiet, always looking down...as if she was searching for words that she couldn't find. "Is something troubling you?"

"N-no!" She...she seems flustered, her voice is shaky...she's afraid...have I frightened her in some way? "Kratos...this is unusual and quite embarassing...I feel something..." She took my hand.in hers and faced me. We both stopped walking. "...something strong for you." She placed my hand upon her left breast, a blush striking across her face as much as, I'm sure, it was for me.

"Raine..." I paused...she didn't want me to feel her bossom...she wanted me to feel her heart. It was beating hard and fast, a smile pulled at the corners ofmy mouth. She felt the same as I had. I took my hand from her and cupped her face, cradling her cheek softly.

Raine's POV

So soft, so caring. I could feel a warmth in his touch, it was so lovely. I thought myself in paradise...until he stepped further and proved me wrong. Oh, how soft his lips were, how gently his thumb stroking my cheek, how lovingly and warm his kiss.

Kratos' POV

Had I really done that? Had I really forgotten everything about Anna...about my son and kissed her? "Raine..." I had to stop, I had to pull back. "...you shouldn't get caught up in what you can't handle." I turned and walked off. Silence...silence...nothing but silence...but yet...so much was sad between us.

Raine's POV

He just left. Rejected everything I felt and left me behind. I should have seen this coming. Kratos is too cruel to love, to caught up in his work to care for others. To selfish, to stubborn...to mysterious to handle. He's right...I could never handle a life tied to him. I must move one, forget anything with him and return to my life. Maybe I should thank him...

Kratos' POV

Her silence will be thanks enough.
