Lilikoifish: Yo! I'm back again! Please don't expect a masterpiece for this chapter because I have major case of writer's block. Well, before I start the chapter, I would just like to tell all my reviewers how to spell my penname because a ton of people have come up with the strangest spellings for my penname (Liliokofish, Lilikofish, Lillkoifish, Lilkofish, Lilokofish, you get the picture). Here is how to spell it:

L-I-L-I-K-O-I-F-I-S-H

Lilikoifish: It's just that…I kinda get annoyed when people spell it wrong…I thought it would kinda be easy to spell…anyway, please forgive me if that sounded rude…On with the fic!

A/N: its a few months later, okay? Also, please excuse the harsh language, as there are strong and intense feelings, and I needed to make this realistic.

Bonded – Part 2: Chapter 3

Anna was sitting in her bed, holding her baby son, Lloyd. She had just been in extreme pain. Kratos held her hand the whole time. Lloyd was sleeping now after the huge fit he had started when he came out of his mother's womb. Anna smiled at Kratos. It was the beginning of a new life.

The next day…

Anna woke up and saw Kratos next to her. He smiled at her. They had breakfast and went for a walk with Lloyd. While they were admiring Lloyd, a large group of Desians came.

"How did you find us…?" Kratos drew his sword.

"Through you, Kratos. Mithos knows exactly where you are." Kvar made his way towards Kratos and Anna. "You, my friend, are the reason why we found you."

"No. I won't let you ruin my life!" Kratos slashed at Kvar, but Kvar dodged the blow. He used his lightning strike on Kratos, causing Kratos to become a little dazed. Kvar headed straight for Anna. Anna was still weak from giving birth to Lloyd, so there was almost nothing she could do.

"No, Kvar! Don't lay a finger on Anna!" Kratos yelled, being restrained by the army of Desians. Kvar spotted Lloyd in Anna's arms. Anna shook with fear. The last thing she wanted to do was go back to that horrid ranch. Kvar sliced Anna, causing a large slash across her face to spill out blood.

"Oh? What's this? A child? Kratos…you got busy!" Kvar laughed. "I might as well kill this child of yours…just to shake things up." Kvar drew out his staff.

"No! Don't touch him!" Anna cried, clutching Lloyd to her chest. Lloyd leaned towards Kvar.

"Child…come closer so that your life can end here." Kvar raised his staff. Lloyd tumbled out of Anna's arms.

"No! Lloyd!" Anna cried. The little baby in red was too fast. He crawled to Kvar—and bit him in the leg. Kvar screamed out in pain. Really, it hurts to have a baby bite you. Kvar limped.

"Ugh…help me, you barbarians! Don't just stand there like Magnius!" Kvar barked. The army came and helped Kvar stand. With that, Kvar and his men retreated by teleportation. Anna clutched her face. It stung. Kratos picked up Lloyd and rushed over to her.

"Stay away!" Anna stood up. Kratos walked over to her and picked her up along with Lloyd. He carried her to the house and bandaged her eye. He cleared away the blood on her face. Anna was still tired, and she did have a syndrome... (I'm not going to mention it. It's something that makes you angry a lot)


"Kratos…it's your fault that I got this," Anna said as Kratos pulled the sheets over her thighs.

"I know. I am sorry, Anna," Kratos lowered his head.

"Say it like you mean it. That was no apology!" Anna yelled. Kratos looked up. This was not the Anna he knew. "I don't need you anymore! I'm tired of you! Get the hell away from me!" Kratos stood up and ran.

Anna got out of the bed and suddenly felt a wave of guilt splash over her. She ran out to look for Kratos, but he was gone. She sank to her knees and wept. She had lost the one she loved for, possibly, ever. She hugged Lloyd to her chest tightly. She put him in the house, prayed that he would survive, and ran out into the woods in hopes that she would die of starvation.


"Anna! Wait!" Anna spun around. It was her brother, Kosuke (just pretend, okay?).

"Kosuke!" Anna hugged him. "Why are you here?"

"I don't know why. I was just planning to go fishing here, that's all. What are you doing?" Kosuke asked. "I heard that you were married to a guy named Kratos…" Kosuke was interrupted by his sister. Her syndrome started to go into effect once again.

"Why are you so eager to talk, anyway? I thought I told you to mind your own buisiness! I thought Kratos was an idiot, but you're the biggest idiot here! Why don't you go back to your school thing or whatever it is that idiots like you like to do! Don't bother me again, you piece of shit!" Anna yelled. Kosuke was shocked. His sister had never called him a piece of shit before. He felt a tear running down his cheek. He ran off.

"Anna…he's your brother. He's not as bad as that. It's not very nice to call people pieces of shit, Anna." Anna spun around. Kratos was standing there. Anna was shocked to see him here.

"Kratos…? What are you doing here?" Anna asked. "I thought…"

"That's the problem, Anna. You thought, you thought. Sometimes, assumptions are not always correct," Kratos reached out to touch her.

"You stay away from me! Don't you dare touch me!" Anna drew back. Kratos smiled and leaned against a tree.

"I guess you really don't need me. You can take care of Lloyd and everything by yourself. I guess it doesn't matter if I die," Kratos stared off into space. Anna tried to say something, but she couldn't. She could only look at the stare he was giving her. Before she knew it, he was right up close to her face. He held her face up with one hand and wrapped his other arm around her waist. He kissed her. Her hand gripped his arm tightly, but she relaxed. They stood there for a long time. Kratos slowly ran his fingers down her shirt and onto the zipper on the back of her long white dress. She was able to catch his hand before his hand slid all the way down. She took his hand and pulled him into the house. There, she let his hand go all the way down.

Lilikoifish: Well, I hope that was okay! I have writer's block for this fic! Argh! I hate writer's block! It truly stinks! Hope that was enough to satisfy you! Please review!
