The Paths We Take

Author's note: Thanks for all the good reviews. Sorry it took me a while to update but I got lazy.

To mylehia: I guess now that I think about it, black would have seemed a more reasonable color choice from Amon. I guess I just thought it would be funny to see him talk about colors like some overly cheerful home decorator.

To Paranoid: Yes Amon's driving does need to slow down. He should have gone after those traffic police who guide traffic. Nobody likes them anyways.

To Konbyashii: Whatever you do, PLEASE DO NOT SUMMON THE EVIL CLOWNS!!! They freak me out and they also don't like me because whenever they "pull" a quarter out from behind my ears, I always think that they stole that quarter from me so I try to take it from them. Well anyways, I will continue to update just so I don't have evil clowns bust down my door and take all my quarters for their sick jokes.

Chapter Four: Gnomes

Robin couldn't believe that she had just burned a statue of her most sacred figure. Her powers had tightened their grasp even more then she had thought. If Jesus couldn't even escape her wrath, who else could? Robin heard Amon's key unlocking the door just as she had finished cleaning up the ashes of Jesus. She decided not to say anything to him about this because he had too much on his plate already. "Well?" she said with a slight calmness. Amon shook his head. "Nagira didn't know anything but he said he'd look into it." "Oh, I didn't really expect he would anyway." Amon noticed the loss of hope with that last comment. "Robin, we will get through this. Just give him time. We can't loose hope, not now anyways. We've come too far to give up now without a fight." Amon said this with a definite build of confidence. He was more sure of this than anything else.

Days passed and still there was no response from Nagira. Amon decided to ask him by phone rather than drive over there and get flicked off by old ladies, get blinded by the sight of his brother in make out session, and get dragged into a cat fight. Robin seemed to be in control for now, but every now and then she would go off the edge. She didn't set fire to any more husbands/expecting dads/witch hunters but she did manage to set a few unsuspecting lawn gnomes on fire in their neighbor's yard. "I hate those stupid gnomes!" she thought to herself while watering her plants outside. "They are so stupid and they all look at you with that stupid grin. No! They are just innocent gnomes. What do I care if that old lady likes to put them out on her lawn? They mock the neighborhood and they look so ugly. I HATE GNOMES!!" And with that she had set fire to the whole fleet of gnomes in the yard. When her neighbor ran out screaming about her lost comrades, she just said that a group of gnome hatters came by and set them on fire. Another such incident happened when Amon took a shower before Robin. "That bastard used up all the hot water!" she thought as the "brain battle" took place. "You would have thought that he would have left me some considering that I'm carrying his child and the only thing that relieves my aching back is a hot shower. HOW DARE HE!" Robin didn't really fight with her brain as much as last time because she kind of agreed with this. "He could have left just a little," her good side thought with a little tinge of guilt for taking sides with her bad side. This of course didn't stop her from setting the shower curtain a blaze.
Finally after what seemed like years, Nagira called and finally gave them some good news. "Good news," he said not realizing the suffering he had put on the couple with his wait, "I found a doctor who might have an answer to your problem. Come down to the office and we can talk. Oh and I promise no gross outs either." Amon had him on speaker phone so off course Robin wanted to know what Nagira meant with "gross outs." "It's nothing," Amon said trying to forget his office encounter, which still haunted him. "We'll be right over."

Authors Note: sorry to leave you in suspense but I got to do homework. (Damn homework) Next Chapter: the couple goes to see the witch doctor.
