Author's Note: Last time, I saved ya'll the trouble of reading the author's note. Not this time! Hahahahaha! Oh, sorry. It must be the coke. Anyway, here's your chapter 7!
Chapter 7: Encounters
He didn't know it at the time but that little incident that took place during their honeymoon was not the last of its kind. He suppose he had to thank the hunters for that. Then again, he also had to thank them for making him nearly kill Robin and awakening his powers.
Almost 3 months had passed since their return from their honeymoon. That day, he and Robin went grocery shopping together since Nagira couldn't go. He had claimed "he was sick with a really bad cold" yet he still managed to order pretty much half the store. Originally, Amon was against going out but they really had no choice. The refrigerator was completely empty and being killed by hunter was better than starving to death any day. Of course, he had only intended for that to be a figure of speech and not an actual thing.
About half way to the store he got the sudden feeling that they were being followed. Then he realized who the followers were. Hunters, and they did not want to play hide and seek. He grabbed Robin's hand and pulled her into an alleyway. He thought that had lost them but a gasp from Robin told him otherwise. They were surrounded with no way out.
How they had found them he couldn't quite figure it out. They weren't that recognizable, at least not anymore. They had changed in the past years. Robin no longer wore her usual hairstyle and dress and he and long since gotten rid of his coat. But even with that, they had still be found out. What's a person gotta do to not be found around here, literally be swallowed up by the earth? Robin looked up at him and he tried to reassure her by giving her fragile hand, which was still in his, a gentle squeeze. His only reassuring himself were that simple.
One on the hunters shut but missed. Rookie. Maybe the situation wasn't as bad as it seemed. Then another hunter tried his luck and he was far more lucky than the first. He had aimed for Robin but Amon pushed her out o the way. He however, wasn't so fortunate; the bullet had hit his shoulder. So much the situation not being as bad as it seemed.
A wall of fire formed around them just as the hunters began a new attack. Robin. They were safe from the hunter, but not from him. He suddenly became dizzy. The whole Earth seemed to be shaking. What the hell? He closed his eyes hoping to return to normal but things only got worse. His vision became blurry and pain coursed through his body. He knew what was happening. The one thing he feared the most was becoming a reality. His powers were surfacing. Of all the times, it had to be now.
"Amon? Amon are you okay?"
He heard her voice but it sounded so far away. He didn't know where she was and everything looked the same. He couldn't tell anything part. He didn't know what was a hunter and what was Robin. But at that certain point in time, he didn't care. All he knew was that he had to kill the hunters.
He saw a bright light in front of him but he had no clue what it was. He heard screaming and gun shots. He saw blurry figures and bright lights. What the hell is going on? He suddenly thought of Robin. She was unprotected and what if she was hurt. He had to do something. Slowly, he raised his gun and shot at anything that moved. All of a sudden, someone or something appeared in front of him and acting on instincts he pulled the trigger.
When he suddenly heard a feminine gasp his vision become normal as fast as it had become blurry. Yet what he saw was not a pretty picture. He was surrounded by the smell of blood and corpses. And Robin. She stood in front of him, bleeding. He had shot her. She collapsed into his arms and gave him a weak smile as she closed her eyes. Oh no. Robin
His first idea was to get her to a hospital but the more he thought about it the more risky it became. Then he got up with a seriously wounded Robin still in his arms. He ran as fast as he could back home. He only hoped Nagira had some doctor friends and that it wasn't too late. She couldn't die. Not because of him.
Two chapters in one day. Not bad huh? Think of this as an "I'm sorry for not updating yesterday". I was tired damn it! You can't blame me! And with all this back to school shopping its kinda hard. Anyway, for those of you who are ready to yell at me for doing that to Robin, save your breath. She's not hurt. Well, she is but not that much. Hey at least she lives! Yes, she lives. She has to live if she's to give Amon a child, right? Right. You can't make a baby without two people. lol. What? That's what my mom told me... When I was 8 years old. Oh, getting off the topic. Don't forget to review!
