Chapter Two

"Oh my god...Raine..." Kratos stumbled backwards at the sight of her. The image of the half-elf hooked up to IV poles and life support stabbed at his heart. This was all his fault...

The doctor looked up solemnly. "I see you're here..." He gestured toward Raine. "This is all I could do." He stood up and brushed himself off. "I'll leave you two in here..." And he walked past the angel.

The door clicked shut and Kratos approached the bed cautiously. "Dear Martel, Raine...I'm sorry..." He whispered, his head in his hands. The response was a heavy breathing sound from the respirator. Kratos made a move to grab the hand on the white bedsheets. Stroking her hand gently, he looked straight into the pale, sleeping facade. "I'd do anything, Raine, to save you."

Suddenly, as he was lost deep in his thoughts, a loud, steady hum blared in the room. It was coming from one of the machines. Immediately, the doctor rushed in and pushed Kratos back.

"Not good...Her blood pressure is plummeting, she's going into shock..." He said briskly.

Kratos watched helplessly as the doctor fumbled to save Raine's life. His eyes flicked to the heart monitor as the beeping slowed considerably, and back to Raine. Her dim eyes seemed to open and look at him for the last time...

"Move aside!" He rudely shoved the doctor aside and placed his hand over Raine's heart. A bright light eminated from his hand, and mana was transferred into the dying half-elf.

It was amazing, how love could give you the strength you never had.

"Healing Wind!" Said the angelic being, and a swirling, green wind lifted Raine inches off the bed. Her wounds closed up, the scars that should have been there as a painful reminder disappeared as well. She fell gracefully back onto the bed.

Kratos collapsed, exhuasted, from using so much mana, and from the aftershock of the adrenaline.

The doctor approached the bed. "This is unbelievable..." He examined the machines. "She's stablizing very well! We might not need the life support and IV anymore! Absolutely amazing!"

"That's good..." Kratos said before slumping against Raine's pillow and falling asleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"How's the situation going?" Presea asked fearfully to the doctor as he came out of the inn. "Is Raine doing ok?"

The doctor's face split into a wide grin. "Thanks to Kratos, she's stablizing very well. I've just taken her off life support and IV. She'll probably wake up sooner or later."

Presea smiled gratefully. Finally, there was good news. She ran across the snowy main square and to the anxious group.

"What about Raine?" Genis asked timidly.

"She's doing fine! The doctor said she's been taken off life support and IV!" Presea almost felt like screaming the happy news.

Relief washed over the group.

"Thanks, dad..." Lloyd said softly as the group headed out to celebrate.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kratos woke up to have his head laying inches away from Raine's. She was breathing softly, still asleep. He bolted back up to a sitting position, blushing madly. But that blush faded as he was lost in Raine's flawless beauty.

His hand reached to brush a stray lock of silver hair out from her face. Her silver eyelashes fluttered. Kratos, on instinct, pulled his hand back. The mage opened her eyes.

"Kratos?..."
