1Well, I'm glad that everyone is becoming more accepting of Storm and Zelos' relationship. I am looking for ideas for the plot because I want this story to be longer but I'm running low on inspiration. Thanks for all of your reviews and I hope that you like this chapter.

Chapter 13:Something There

Storm got up early the next morning and was ready to go to the church to see if she was really Spiritua's reincarnate. She was anxious to see if something would spark a past memory or something like that. She ran down to the kitchen to see that her father was way ahead of her and had already finished breakfast for the group.

"Hey Dad," Storm said cheerfully as she walked into the kitchen.

Kratos turned around and saw the huge smile spread across her face. "Storm, what's got you so happy this morning?" he asked, surprised by her overwhelming joy.

"Oh...I'm just excited to go and see the church today. I want to see if I'll remember something or get a new power or something," Storm replied.

"Well, don't get your hopes up too much. Now, would you please get your lazy excuse for a brother out of bed," Kratos said as Storm grabbed a piece of toast and went to wake up her brother.

"Hey lazy! Dad says to wake up!" Storm yelled as she walked into Lloyd's room. Lloyd didn't even attempt to get up, instead he nestled himself even deeper under the covers.

"Hey! I said get up or I'm gonna eat all the food that Dad cooked," Storm said as she began to walk toward the door challengingly.

Lloyd sprang out of bed at this comment and ran for the door. Storm decided it would be fun to race him down the stairs. They flew down the hallway, barely avoiding hitting the rest of their friends. They ran down the stairs and were neck and neck. Suddenly, at the last step Storm gained the lead when she tripped Lloyd and sent him flying across the room and sliding in the opposite direction of the kitchen. Storm sat herself in one of the chairs and began to fix herself a plate, grinning proudly at her victory.

Soon, Lloyd walked in the kitchen with a death glare on his face. "You tripped me on purpose!" he yelled as Storm kept eating.

"It's not my fault my feet were there and that you were clumsy," Storm explained.

"That's not what happened and I can tell by the look on your face," Lloyd said.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Storm replied.

Lloyd mumbled under his breath as he placed himself at the table across from Storm,while Kratos placed a plate full of food in front of him. Soon, Zelos came down along with the rest of the group and they all took their places at the table. Zelos was sitting next to Lloyd along with Genis and Regal, soon followed by Kratos. Sheena, Presea, Raine, and Colette all sat on the other side of the table with Storm.

"That was pretty fun last night huh Storm? Especially when...," he was cut off when he heard Lloyd yell out in pain next to him. "What's wrong with you?" he asked.

"She kicked me," he replied, pointing at Storm who was glancing nervously at her plate. She had tried to kick Zelos before he said anything that her father would catch on to, but had accidently kicked her brother instead.

"You two really need to stop it, I'm starting to get a headache from listening to you," Kratos said as he held his hand to his forehead.

"Well, you missed out on a lot ofarguements over the years," Storm replied.

Later that day, the group left for the church. After they gained entrance they looked all over to find anything that looked as if it would open into a secret room. Storm was able to find the entrance by tapping on all the walls and using her sensitive angel hearing to hear a place where the walls were thinner. After finding the door, hidden under some wallpaper they went inside the dark and dusty room.

The room didn't seem to have been touched for a very long time and the group was a little hesitant to walk in at first. Raine was the first to rush in as she started to rummage through everything in sight. She looked at all the old books and pictures all over the place. Storm began to walk through the room and looked at what appeared to be a journal. Storm opened the dusty journal and opened it to the last page that was written on.

I am about to leave on this ridiculous journey. I can't believe that I have to be the one who has to go on it. I know that I will die when I complete the journey. But, if I don't go on it, the people of this world will kill me from disappointment. I really have no choice, I have no life. I must be going, my companions are here.

Spiritua

Storm couldn't believe it. Not even Spiritua had wanted to become the Chosen. Zelos and Colette were not alone in their feelings. She wondered what it felt like to know that there was nothing but death in one's future. It made her happy to know that Lloyd had been able to break that horrible cycle.

"This is simply amazing, everything here is full of so much history," Raine exclaimed as she continued to search through the piles of old books.

"So Storm, anything here seem familiar to you?" Lloyd asked as he walked up to her.

"Nothing yet," she replied as she looked at a pile in the corner. Suddenly, Storm felt really dizzy and she was unable to focus on anything in the room. She felt a sharp pain in her head and her legs buckled from under her as she became sick. Kratos and Zelos rushed to her and picked her up, carrying her out of the room.

Once they were outside of the room, they set her down on a couch. She began to feel better almost immediately after they took her out. She got up and was able to stand up and she felt no pain or sickness wash over her.

"What happened?" Sheena asked.

"I don't know, I just felt sick all of a sudden. It felt like something was overwhelming me," she replied.

"Maybe it's like the elder said and something was awakened within you," Lloyd suggested.

"Maybe, but I feel better now whatever it was," Storm replied.

"Well, I think we've seen enough. Let's patch up the door so no one can find it," Kratos said.

"No way! There are too many amazing things in there that need to be discovered," Raine protested.

"Raine, we promised the elder we wouldn't let anyone know about it," Genis said.

"Fine, but I won't help you patch up that wallpaper," she said as she sat down on the couch.

Later that night, the group was getting ready for bed. Kratos decided to go out for a few hours to get away from the group for a while. After the rest of the group headed upstairs, Zelos and Storm decided to spend some quality time together. Not too long after they started to (pretty much make out, nothing more than that) the front door opened and Kratos walked in. He had only decided to walk around the block instead of going farther. He walked in on the two as Storm was lying on the couch with Zelos on top and they were kissing very intensly. Storm saw her father and immediately sat up, hoping he didn't see anything. Unfortunately, he saw enough.

"Daddy, what are you doing back so soon?" Storm squeaked out.

"I decided to come back earlier, I'm glad that I did. How long has this been going on?" Kratos asked pointing at the two.

"What are you talking about?" Storm asked trying to play dumb.

"Storm, you know damn well what I'm talking about!" Kratos yelled, with anger growing in his voice.

"Oh, Zelos and I? Uh, awhile," she replied.

"And when were you planning on telling me about it?" he asked.

"Um...eventually," she replied.

"You weren't were you," Kratos replied, "You know you shouldn't hide things from me."

"Why not! You were hiding things from me too," Storm shot back.

"This is not the same," Kratos yelled, "I was only doing what I thought was best for you."

Storm had shooed Zelos away by this point and they were now alone to sort the matter out. Zelos only prayed that Storm would be able to soothe her father.

"This is what is best for me!" Storm replied. "Daddy, I love him."

Kratos was taken back by her last statement, but more than that, the emotions behind it.

"Did it get any farther than this?" Kratos asked.

"No, we haven't done anything like what you're thinking. Daddy, I'm not your little girl anymore. If Pronyma and I are going to fight, I need to do it on my own. You can't always be there for me. I think that I'm old enough to handle a relationship. Please Dad, let me be happy. Zelos has taught me to let out my emotions instead of always hiding them. Without him, I'd still be a lifeless little angel," Storm said.

Kratos sat in silence for a while, thinking about what he should do. He looked at his daughter, really looked at what she had become. She was no longer a little girl, she was now a woman and she could save the world one day. If she didn't survive the war, he at least wanted her to be happy before. He couldn't say no as he looked into the eyes of his daughter. She was a woman now, and he had to let her go.

"Fine, just don't get hurt. Don't do anything stupid. But, from now on I think it would be good if we didn't hide anything from each other," Kratos said.

"Thank you so much Daddy, I knew that you would understand," Storm said as she ran over and hugged her father. He could really tell that she had opened up a lot lately and he was happy to see her like she should be, full of emotions, her emotions.

Storm went to bed with a happy heart, knowing that Zelos and her didn't have to hide their emotions any more and could finally be an accepted couple.

Well, that's it for this chapter. When you read the part where Storm and Kratos are fighting, they really are yelling at each other. In fact, I wouldn't have been surprised if everyone in the house could hear them. I hope you liked it and there will be a little more suspense in the next chapters. Remember, if anyone has any ideas for plot please send me a message by using my profile page. Anything that involves a evil plot with Forcystus would be good. Or something with Storm and Zelos. Thanks and please review as always!
