Chapter3: Robin's Prophecy

Hey! Welcome back again! I updated and I hope that you're ready for the upcoming things. Chapter 2 got some good reviews and thank you Lauren for telling me that my detail was declining as well as my feelings. I hope that this chapter is a bit longer than the other two. Well, here goes! ________________________________________________________________________

"Oh, hello, Nanami. My name is Robin." Robin held out her hand hesitantly, trying in the process to keep from crying. What the hell's wrong with me?, Robin thought. I should be happy for Amon finally getting his dating life together and I know that we shouldn't try to date at work, but I just can't try not to ignore her. What am I going to do?

The pretty blond, green-eyed girl looked at Robin for a moment, like she had been looking for her for years. Oh, Robin, it's you, it's you! Now, I just have to keep you out of mine and Amon's way, thought Nanami. "I've heard a lot about you, Robin. Amon loves to brag about you," Nanami said cheerfully, as Amon blushed.

"I'm sorry for the short meeting but, I believe, that I need that rest that Miss Karasuma was talking to me about. I'm so very sorry, Amon," Robin said, trying to sound tired and working harder to keep the tears from bursting out of her at this very moment.

"It's okay. Don't worry about it. It'll be alright. But you better be ready for our 'assignment' tomorrow that the Chief wanted us to be there for, got it?"

"I got it, Amon." Why do I like him anyway? I mean all he worries about, other than that new girl, is work. What is with that man? "I'm very pleased in meeting you, Nanami, but if you would excuse me, I think that I need that rest, okay?"

"That's okay, Robin and I hope that we meet again." In fact we will meet again, she thought smugly.

Robin waved to Amon and told him that she would be ready for work in the morning. She said good night to Touko and told Nanami that she would hope to meet her again as well. But, of course, she didn't mean it.

Robin quickly reached her small room in the apartment and shut and locked the door. She looked around her barren room, with thoughts of Nanami dancing in her head. Who is this Nanami? Where did she come from? Why did she act like she knew me? Damn it, why can't I stop thinking about this. LEAVE ME ALONE! TO MYSELF, YOU STUPID THOUGHTS!

Robin quickly undressed showing her pale, white skin that seemed to never touch the sun. She couldn't remember an instant when she wore something other than her black dress or she was sleeping naked in her bed with a bunch of blankets over her. She couldn't think of a time in which she had felt what she felt for Amon, either. It made her worry because mixed feelings don't go well with her powers, and she would still need them until either 'til the day she dies or the day she retires from the STN-J.

Robin felt the darkness wash over her and she suddenly felt as if she hadn't slept for months. Where did this tiredness come from?, she wondered. She barely made it into her bed before her eyes closed from fatigue. Her breathing rate was slowing down rapidly and she soon fell asleep.

* * *

It was a nasty place. She didn't remember a place that was ever like this and yet, it seemed so familiar. It was then that she remembered that she was running from someone, but couldn't remember from whom. She saw a shadow and knew that she had been found. She stood up and ran for her life. She felt like a little girl, or at least a defenseless one. Why can't I make my power work?, she thought.

She kept running until she found a place that was so very familiar to her, but she couldn't figure out from where. It had a sign on the door to the elevator as she ran past it. It read STN-J. That sounded familiar to the young woman too. She turned to see if whoever-it-was was still following her. She didn't see anyone and felt pretty safe. She decided that she needed to reach safety by going to the top floor and get a bird's eye-view look out for whoever was following her.

It was then that she reached the top floor. She stepped out of the elevator and people were murdered. None of whom she had known and yet, she recognized all of them, which she thought was strange. She turned and let out the biggest scream that she had thought possible.

* * *

Touko woke after she heard a bloodcurdling scream. She looked over at her clock. 12:32 a.m., it read. What the hell happened? She heard it again. It's coming from Robin's room!

She clumsily jumped out of her bed in her pink pajamas, trying to guide herself in the dark and ran into her closed door. "Ouch, that damn door. I hate it, I hate it! Ah, crap! I'm coming Robin," Touko finally yelled as she finally got her door open.

She quickly ran across the hallway, trying to guide herself through the dark, once again and ran right into Robin's bedroom door. "These damn doors! I swear that they hate me or something, but I'll get the final laugh when I burn all of you! Damn the dark, too! You helped me run into the door! I hate you, too!" Touko tries to turn the door knob, but it was locked. "Damn it, Robin. Why did you have to lock your door? I'll be right back with the key to your room." She turned and walked away.

* * *

She saw her enemy. It was a person in a black suit with a mask on. She couldn't see any revealing features as to who it was.

"Why are you after me?" she asked as calmly as she could keep her voice.

"Why do you want to know?" The voice didn't reveal whether it was male or female.

"Because I want to know what I ever did to you," she said with her voice shaking, almost uncontrollably.

"Because you got in the way. You were a trader to me. You revealed my secrets to everyone and now you must pay. So you've gotten in my way for the last time." The person held up a type of Orbo gun. "Any last words before I take you out?"

"May I see your face?" she asked haltingly. She was shaking with fear for her life as she waited for the answer from the unknown attacker.

"Is that all you ask before you die, little girl? You're going to be the only one to know this and you shall be the first of many to die. Ha, ha, ha," as the person laughs maniacally, they rip off their mask.

She gasped as she saw the face.

* * *

"Robin, I'm here. Are you okay?" Touko asked as she finally burst into the room, scaring the startled Robin even more.

"I'm fine. You can go back to sleep, it was only a nightmare."

"Just a nightmare. Ha. Those screams you had would have woken up the entire neighborhood. It was more than a nightmare. Please tell me about it."

"I'm fine and don't push it or I'll have to make you go to bed, got it?"

"I'll only leave if you make the promise that you'll talk to someone about it, got that?"

"Okay, I'll do it. I'll talk to Amon first thing in the morning okay." Robin purposely said Amon just to get Touko out.

"This time don't lock the door, because if this happens again, I want to get to you as soon as possible. Good night again. Try to have sweeter dreams, okay?"

"Okay." Robin watched as Touko left the room and close the door behind her. She was still shaking in fear from what had just happened. Her mind drifted back to the face that was still fresh in her mind. Why you? Why does it have to be you?, Robin thought. Why Amon?

_______________________________________________________________________ Suspense, horror, terror. Oh well. Was it Amon she really saw or was it just a fake? Why would Amon do that to Robin? Hopefully these upcoming chapters tell you guys a little more. Well, hope you liked Chapter 3. I hope that I can update soon, okay? I hope that you'll like Chapter 4 a little more.
