Chapter 4

Slowly her eye lids when up. She stood up and got of bed, looking around the room wondering where she was. It was the same room she last slept in. She was still in Izoold at the Inn. Anna looked at the other bed, Kratos was still sleeping. This time for sure she would not bother him at all. Anna made her bed and looked back at Kratos. She smiled thinking of her dream she wished it wouldn't have ended. Her smiled turned into a frowned, she was sure it would never happen. Anna looked down at her clothing. She was a mess, a total mess. Her hair was all fuzzy and her clothing was all wrinkled. She looked around if there would be a bath in this room. And to her wishes, there was a bathroom. She heard a moan and suddenly someone woke up. Kratos blinked a couple of times and looked at her.

"You're a mess," said Kratos.

"I know," Anna responded.

"Well what do you want me to say then?"

"I don't know."

"…"

"I'm going to take a bath."

She went inside the bathroom and closed the door with a click. Kratos was looking at the door watching her every move. Once she closed the door, he looked down sighing, Right now he wished he had a Katz suit and scream, so that nobody would know that an angel was screaming for some stupidity he did. Did he even do anything wrong? It felt like he did though. He chuckled at the remark himself wearing a Katz suit. He shook his head and laid back in bed. He closed his eyes and thought about last night. Her words hit him. Can an angel even feel love? He wasn't exactly an angel either. He groaned and tried to go to sleep again.

Anna shook her head. He was really quiet, barely even made a sound, well he did make some frustration sounds, but that was it. She took off her vest and her shirt, that looked almost like a bra, she then took off her official bra and the rest of the clothing. She filled the tub with hot water. It took almost four or five minutes to fill the tub, while that was done she went inside the hot water that was waiting for her. She made a small squealing sound since it was hot. She sighed of relief when her whole body was inside the bathtub. The water was almost at her face. She wasn't short or anything she was just putting all her body inside the tub to keep her warm. She closed her eyes and took a big breath. Her head slowly went inside the water.

Somehow it hit her. She felt as if someone was pulling her inside the water. Slowly her body stiffen and her eyes were still closed. She felt like bursting out into tears. She opened her eyes and looked around. The tub wasn't supposed to be THAT big. It was as if she was at the middle of the ocean. She shook her head and tried to swim back to 'shore'. Anna couldn't resist the pressure that the ocean was making. So she let the water take her. Was this the end of her mortal life?

Kratos heard some splashing inside the bathroom. He didn't want to know what she was doing. He shook his head and closed his eyes again. It had been more than an hour that she was inside there. He somewhat got worried about her, but didn't dare show it. Another five minutes passed and there was still nothing. No sound was made still. At this point Kratos stood up and walked back and forth. Did she really take that long to take a bath? His heart was beating fast for some un-normal reason. He was now face to face with the door thinking of what can take her so long. He looked at a vase that was near the window. It had a rose. A new born rose. It was just blooming and had a dark red color. It was still new and useful. He stared at it for quite sometimes. His thoughts suddenly left him. He couldn't leave his thoughts about Anna. Was she okay? There was no sound coming from inside. He looked down at the floor. There was some water running. His eyes looked shocked and ran towards the door.

'You idiot!' his mind kept saying trying to open the door. Soon the door burst open. He gasped at the scene, it was horrible. Anna's hand was outside of the left side of the tub. Her whole body was inside, including her head. There was water dripping from the tub, making small pools. He quickly ran to Anna and picked her up. Putting her in the floor slowly not wanting to hurt her he looked at her. She wasn't wearing anything at all. Her body was turning cold and blue. He shook his head trying to forget about her body and now interested in her health. He was close to her lips, putting his ear to her mouth if she was even breathing. He slowly put his hands between her petite breast. He then began to push three times and put his lips against her lips. Trying to give her some air himself. He did this about four times, till some water spilled from her mouth.

Anna's eye blinked and looked at Kratos, who seemed relieved. She sat up and smiled at him, "Hi." Kratos smiled and looked at her.

His faced turned crimson red and looked away. Anna looked puzzled and looked down her body. It took her a few seconds to realized that she was completely naked. Her face turned crimson red also, she than began to scream as loud as she could. The whole Inn and neighbors heard it. Of course typical Anna did something she would regret sooner or later. There was a loud clap that echoed. Kratos's left cheek was rosy pink.

"YOU PERVERTED ASSHOLE!" She yelled in fury and embarrassment. She grabbed a towel that was near the chair. She quickly covered herself with it and looked at him, tears running through her cheeks. Kratos stood up and left. Leaving her all alone at the Inn, by herself. Meanwhile Anna was still sitting there on the floor. Letting all her tears out. What has she done now?

"I'm so sorry" she whispered letting all her tears out.

Few minutes later Anna stood up and grabbed her clothes. She put them on and walked out of the bathroom. She looked back and shivered. Where was she all along? Was she still in the bathroom? But it didn't seem like it at all! It was so dark…and full of hatred and pain. It also looked like the middle of the ocean. Where was she anyway? Was she even in the ocean? She shook her head. She just didn't feel like looking at the tub again. It gave her a bad aura, an aura that felt familiar also. It felt like she was at the ranch again. Anna walked away , and walked downstairs to meet Kratos. He was crossing his arms and then he looks at her. Her heart beat stops. It was as if it time froze, what would she do? Go talk to him like nothing happened? She wished she never walked downstairs. She took a deep breath and walked towards him.

"Ready to leave?" Kratos looked at her giving no emotion to her. Why would he? He never had anyway. They both went to the dock where William, the man that Anna was talking to yesterday, worked. Next to him was his father. He looked about his mid forties, his hair was turning white and his eyes seemed very light blue. William was one inch shorter than Kratos, his brown hair was spiky and messy. "Anna! You came!" he said hugging her. Anna turned pink and nodded, looking at Kratos.

"May you take us to Palmacosta," said Kratos.

The old man nodded while William glared at Kratos. Anna sweat dropped and walked inside the ship with Kratos next to her. On the way to Palmacosta, William kept pestering Kratos with silly questions. "Do you love her?" he asked. Kratos sighed and shook his head. Five minutes later he asked the same question again. Anna looked at them and giggled, 'My William is giving Kratos a hard time.'

"That boy keeps pestering people," said William's father.

Anna looked at him surprised, was he looking at William and Kratos the whole time? Anna walked towards William's father and tilted her head, "May I ask why?"

William's father, Edward, looked at her smiling. He was stirring the wheel while looking at her, he must be really good at sailing. His clothes didn't look so fancy, but to Anna they did look fancy. His voice was soft, he must be getting tiered and old.

"William is a nice boy, but he chattering its annoying!" he said chuckling, "He likes pretty girls, but for some reason he can never keep one."

"What do you mean?" she asked curious.

"He used to have a love one sometimes ago, but was taken by the Desians," said Edward sternly, "I got worried. I never really knew if he actually loved her. He always flirted, but Lily kept knocking him off if he did. He is young and still has to learn."

"What happened to her?" Anna asked curious.

"I don't know, I've never heard of her again."

Anna nodded and looked back at the two men. William had suffered a lot by that girl Lily being gone. She shook her head and looked down. They were a few minutes away from Palmacosta.

"How much time do we need to get there?" asked Kratos, looking at Anna.

Edward smiled and looked at the sea. The seagulls were near, so that meant that they were near land. Anna smiled, she just couldn't wait to go back to the ranch. Wait … the Desian Ranch! Why would she? She was tortured there for Martel's sake! But then Koki was there suffering, while she was having a free day. Soon Anna began to have a headache. She sat down on the wooden floor, while the three men looked at her curious.

"Miss Anna are you alright?" asked William.

"Yes, just some headache I got a little while ago," she responded.

Kratos looked away from her and began to look at the sea. They were almost there only a few more minutes and they would be in Palmacosta. When those few minutes arrived they left the ship and said their good byes. Kratos and Anna were looking for a place to stay, after all it was getting dark. Anna found the Inn and both of them got their own single room. Anna sighed of relief and entered her room quickly.

There was two windows and another door that lead to a bathroom. There was one single bed, which was a relief for Anna, and table that hold a bouquet of new bloomed flowers. Anna smiled, she was starting to get used to this room. She sighed, she missed Koki to much, it took the fun away from her. She didn't blame Koki, she just wished she was with her right now, the both of them wouldn't be able to go back to the ranch.

There was a knock on the door. Anna looked around and opened the door, reviling Kratos standing there. Anna smiled and let him in. He entered and looked around at her room. There was nothing suspicious in this room so his worries where gone. He looked at her, she seemed free, but the only thing that bothered him was that she may be forgetting something. This mission was to bring her back to the ranch. He had to ask him for help, even if he didn't wish to ask. He also knew how much that little girl meant to her. Maybe its her little sister, he knew how much caring for a child is very emotional.

"So … Why are you here?" asked Anna, while looking outside the window.

Kratos shrugged, "I thought there might be something suspicious in this room."

He looked at her opening the window, she was looking at the stars. Anna looked at Kratos and smiled, "Well nothing is wrong here. What are we doing tomorrow?" Kratos looked at the flowers, "We're staying here for a little while, people might get suspicious about travelers coming in and out. Also there are risk about a Desians coming here."

"I forgot. In Iselia they have a treaty now, but in other places … they get taken away like in Luin …" Anna looked at Kratos direction, he was looking at the flowers which surprised her little. He was showing more emotion, well to her imagination at least, than before. Maybe he was getting to like her more and more. She blushed at the thought and shook her head.

"If there's any trouble don't hesitate to come to my room," he said walking out of the door.

Anna nodded, "Sure." Once he left, Anna went to bed. She couldn't wait for tomorrow to come, she was close to get Koki to freedom. Wait … were they even going live? What if they die from the hands of the Desians? She couldn't think that! The three of them: Anna, Kratos, and Koki, will make it. Anna closed her eyes and went to sleep.
