Chapter 13

Zelos and Raine

(Sorry, but I cant help but keep writing their chapters, they're really intriguing!)

Raine glanced at the clock and saw it was not just a few hours since Zelos had gone ballistic on her, but it had been two days! She was hungry, but she didn't want to go downstairs and find him there. But she had to, she put a robe on and went downstairs. She tiptoed down the hallways and went into the kitchen. He wasn't there; it looked like no one had been in it. She grabbed some toast and ate it and went back to her room and locked the door.

She sat there on her bed for hours, but no noise came from his room. She somehow found herself worrying about him. She didn't know why, but she found herself thinking maybe she did something wrong. No! It was him! He's the one who didn't listen to me! It's his fault! She decided she had to stay put. She sat there in terror, She didn't know what to think. She thought he loved her, what had gone wrong? Her body was so sore, she could barely move. She curled up and started to cry.

Zelos woke up, he was on the floor, and he had remembered collapsing after he had raped her. He was furious with himself, why had he done this? He knew this would happen. He had ended up there after carrying her back to her room. He thought he was better, but maybe not, it was all a lie. He wasn't better, not at all, how could this happen? He got up and put on a pair of pants and went to her room and went inside. He saw her as she pulled back as he entered the room and closed the door behind him.

"R…R…Raine…. I'm…..s…s…so sorry…I…I…didn't mean to….."

"Get away from me Zelos, right now…" She ordered while shaking feverishly.

"Raine, please, I know you must be scared of me. And I understand if you hate me now, but you gotta hear me out."

"Zelos, I've had enough, I can't do this, not right now. After what you've done to me, I just don't know what to think."

"I know, I'm not all I may have seemed to be, but it's true."

"Zelos just go, please just go."

"Ok, I'll go, I understand how you feel."

"No, I don't think you do Zelos!" She said with rage in her voice.

"Oh, but Raine darling, I do."

"How so?"

"I was once molested."

"What?"

"It's true."

"But that's no excuse for what you did!"

"I never said it was, all I said was that I can understand how you feel."

"Zelos, I can't deal with this right now, just go."

He looked down, his eyes full of sorrow and anguish, got up and left.
