Chapter 2
They ride to the site of where the hunt was to take place was silent. Robin was the first to break the silence.
"Why are we the only two going on this hunt?" Robin questioned.
"There is only one way in and out of this build. Four people going into the same place would seem suspicious." Amon replied
'The last time we were in a building with only one exit we were almost buried alive.' Robin thought silently to herself.
They arrived at an old storage facility soon after. The wind was chilling and Robin crossed her arms tightly across her chest. This action did not go unnoticed by Amon. Without saying anything he handed her his jacket. They walked cautiously and slowly into the dimly lit building.
"Do you have a visual on the target?" Michael asked through the earpiece
"No," Amon replied.
The line was silent for a long while and Amon continued down the dark hallway of the building. Amon heard a very low muffled cry. He turned around to find his partner gone. Amon went into a panic and looked around there were to many rooms to find which way the witch had went.
"KATSU, I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU HURT HER!" Amon yelled.
He heard laughter. This witch was laughing at him. He was going to pay for the trouble he was causing.
"Get out and she won't be hurt…………much." A voice said.
Amon tried to target the voice. Suddenly he saw a piece of old shredded paper gleaming on the floor and following that there were many more burning objects. Robin had burned small things to leave a trail but she did not leave huge burning masses. She did not want attention draw to it.
Amon followed them into a huge room. It was too dark to make anything out. His eyes soon adapted and he made out two figures. One short and one taller, the shorter one was being dragged by the taller one. Amon was too afraid to shoot because he was afraid of missing. Suddenly the room was illuminated not by sunlight but by the sparks from wires. The witch clutched Robin tightly and had he head twisted slightly to the right.
"If you come any closer I will snap her neck!" Katsu screamed
"And I'm telling you if you hurt her you will never see the light of day again." Amon said calmly as he could allow himself.
Katsu ran from the room but not before he tried to strike Amon with the electrically active wires (that sounds weird I know.) Amon dodged them and ran after Katsu. Amon followed him to a long flight of stairs that led to the roof. When he made it the sun was blinding but he soon regained his composure. He saw Katsu holding Robin by her neck over the side of the building.
"Drop your gun." Katsu said.
Amon did nothing but stand there.
"NOW! I am going to let her go if you don't drop it now." Katsu persisted.
Amon dropped his gun to the ground and waited for him to put Robin down.
"You people….so naïve. It's a shame something so pretty going to waste."
Amon heart raced. His orbo turned bright green, but it could not contain his fury. Robin's body was thrown to a heap on the ground and Katsu's was trusted off the side of the building. Amon heard the cracking sound Katsu's body made contact with the concrete below. The sound of this did not concern Amon. It was Robin who concerned him.
"Are you ok?" Amon asked very concerned.
"…Amon…you're craft." Robin said very weakly
It then dawned on Amon what had just happened. He was no longer a seed. What would everyone at the STN say? Would he be able to control his power? Amon did know one thing though it was the fear of the thing he treasured getting hurt that brought about his power.
"What the hell is going on up there? We haven't heard one word from you two for and hour!" Michael screamed into Amon's earpiece.
"Nothing, Katsu has been…terminated." Amon replied quickly.
Amon carried Robin back to the car. She wanted the walk back to the car but when she tried to stand she collapsed.
Amon took her to the doctor immediately. She had a sprained ankle probably due to being dropped by Katsu before he fell to his death. The doctor advised Robin to put very little weight on it for the next few days.
When they returned to the office little was said. Robin noticed Amon sitting quietly and sitting with a blank stare almost as if he weren't there. The office was eventually empty. They were the last two left.
"Don't tell the other about today," Amon said blankly
"Ok……"Robin started to say something but stopped.
Amon started to stand up and walk towards the elevator. Robin quickly followed, but before getting on the elevator Robin grabbed Amon's hand.
"If you need help…I'm here" She said in a most sincere way.
A/N: I kind of didn't put much in this chapter, but I wanted Amon to awaken his craft. That is what makes this chapter completely necessary.
Peace and Love: Jo
