Finally! Third Chapter! This one is Kranna. Song is Every Time we Touch by Casada, Candlelight mix. Enjoy!
Kratos ran out the door and into the castle garden. The nerve of those women! It was appalling. And he could not do it, not for any woman, and especially not for Anna.
He knew he was a stubborn thing to be doing, but Anna still burned too brightly in his memory. It was too hard for him to look at a girl, any girl, and remember Anna.
I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me
I still feel your touch in my dreams
He should leave this stupid party. Lloyd wouldn't mind. Neither would Yuan. If Anna was there, she would mind. But it was because she wasn't there that he was leaving at all. He was about to leave when he heard singing.
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why
Without you It's hard to survive
Kratos felt the sadness again. Anna used to sing that song. And worse, he sometimes sang it with her. He hadn't sang in four thousand years, but with her it didn't matter. With her it didn't matter that was an angel or a seraph or a desian. All that mattered was him and her.
'Cause every time we touch I get this feeling
And every time we kiss, I swear I could fly
In a world full of darkness, Anna made it bright. In the midsts of hatred, Anna was the love. She was the only woman he had ever loved, and would ever love again. She was always honest, sometimes a bit too honest. But that made her Anna. And that made him the victim of Cupid's arrows.
Can't you hear my heart beat fast
I want this to last
Need you by my side
He had first seen Anna when she was 15, helping a boy with his work. A year later, they officially met, when Anna was bringing a pail a water in from the lake. The water, of course ended up all over him in the process. At 19, she was chosen to be the subject for the angelis project and she was put under his care. Not even a week had gone by did they run away.
'Cause every time we touch, I feel the static
And every time we kiss, I reach for the sky.
With Anna, the years flew past. In no time, Anna became a engaged woman, then a married one, then became pregnant. Then came Lloyd, and all was right in the world. Everything was perfect.
Can't you feel my heart beat so
I can't let you go
Want you in my life
He came into view of the singer. She was the singer they had hired to entertain. She had a yellow dress and brown hair. She was pouring her heart into her song. She had someone she loved very strongly. Her voice was as rich as gold.
Your arms are my castle, Your heart is my sky
They wipe away tears that I cry
She didn't sing this well before. Now she had a voice that could sake heaven and earth. Maybe she, like him, could only do it for the one she loved.
Kratos could understand that. After Anna died, he had lost all hope, all heart, all soul. He was left alone on Welgaia with his despair and sorrow. Only Yuan had understood the pain that Kratos had been through, having lost a lover himself.
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all
You make rise when I fall
Flashback
"Kratos?"
"Yes?"
"Do you think I'm weird?"
"Honestly?"
"Honestly."
"...Yes, I do think you're weird. That's part of what makes you Anna."
"Oh, Kratos!"
End Flashback
That was the highlight of the week that she was placed under his care. That, and getting hit on the head with a frying pan. Typical Anna.
'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling
And every time we kiss, I swear I could fly
Flashback
"Are you three stargazing again?"
"Yep!"
(Whine)
"I see. What's the most beautiful thing tonight?"
"That would be you, Anna."
"I meant in the sky."
"Dat!"
"Sirius."
"I think the full moon is very beautiful."
"Not as beautiful as you."
(Howl)
End flashback
'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling
And every time we kiss, I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast
I want this to last
Need you by my side.
The singer appeared to be casting a spell. Then she got done, and Kratos was so surprised that he almost fell over. On her back was a pair of pail yellow angel wings.
And then it dawned on him.
'Cause every time we touch, I feel the static
And every time we kiss, I reach for the sky
Then Kratos, to her surprise and his, joined in.
Can't you feel my heart beat so
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life
She stared at him. Then she smiled. Words failed them. So they kept singing, but this time, they sang together
'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling
And every time we kiss, I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my beat fast
I want this to last
Need you by my side
"Kratos... It's good to see you again."
"You're as beautiful as ever, Anna."
"Some boring party, don't you think?"
"Heh."
They kissed.
'Cause every time we touch, I feel the static
And every time we kiss, I reach for the sky
Can't you hear my heart beat so
I can't let you go
Want you in my life.
Done! Alright! At last!
And I finally figured out what song I should do for Shelos, so expect that chapter up next.
