Disclaimer: I do not own any of Witch Hunter Robin's characters but the story is mine.
Me: Hey People! Yep, finally the 3rd chapter is here! It took me a while considering I was short on ideas and didn't have much time. But now, it's here and finally up. I hope that you'll enjoy it Rated PG13 for the romance scenes I guess even though there isn't much of it, YET. And it won't be bad either
Witch Hunter
Robin
Chapter 3 – The Room
-- 3:00 A.M.
Robin was sleeping when she suddenly heard her communicator ring. She looked at the clock on her bedside table, 3:00 A.M. She took the communicator and answered with a tired voice.
"Yes?" Michael could be heard from the other side.
"Hurry Robin, we have a case this morning." Robin couldn't believe it. Can't the witches sleep? She can, but looks like others can't. Like she didn't had any other choice, Robin got up and started to get ready for work. When she passed in front of Touko's room, she noticed that Touko wasn't there.
"Where is she?" she asked herself. "She's suppose to be here at this time of the night" Robin didn't understand. She heard Touko come in the house yesterday and hasn't heard her leave. Something was defiantly wrong. She took a look around to see if Touko would have left and she wouldn't have noticed. But there was nothing. Even her shoes were still at the door. Robin was starting to be very worried. She knew that Touko wouldn't leave without leaving a note behind and also her shoes were there. She took her coat and went out of the apartment room. She made sure to lock behind her and then left the building.
-- STN-J's work office
Robin stepped out of the elevator and went towards Michael who was listening to rock music while making researches on the computer. She got closer to him and looked over his shoulder to see what he was doing. Michael turned around and saw that Robin was looking at him in some way to ask him what should I do.
Michael looked at Robin and put down his headphones.
"Amon should be here any minutes now." He said as he turned back to the screen. Robin sat down at her usual chair and waited patiently for Amon to arrive.
It has been ten minutes and Amon wasn't there yet. Robin was starting to worry a little. Where could he be? Not another one that disappears out of nowhere. Suddenly, the elevator doors opened and a dark figure stepped out. Amon looked at Robin and made a sign of the hand to tell her to follow him. Robin stood up and took her coat. A small sigh of relief came out of her mouth when she started to walk towards the raven hair man. For a second, she was sure that she had lost another friend.
The blond craft user and the raven hair man stepped in the dark parking of the building and they both headed towards Amon's car. As they were walking, Robin tried to tell Amon about Touko not being there but then, she remembered that him and Touko seemed to be more than only friends and like they were going on a hunt, it wasn't the time to worry Amon about that.
Deep inside, Robin knew that she didn't stand a chance against Touko but she still loved Amon that she liked it or not. When they arrived at the car, Robin opened the door and sat down. Amon came in not long after. As he got in, he took a look at Robin like if he was suspecting something. Like usual, Robin turned in the direction of the window when her bottle green eyes met the emotionless eyes of the dark hunter. She never could look in his eyes. She didn't know why but every time she looked in his eyes, she shivered. Maybe because of the coldness of his look but, she still couldn't look at him in the eyes.
Amon started the car and the sound of the running engine broke the eternal silence. On the road to where Michael had told them to go, the two hunters remained silent. The only noise that was interrupting it was the engine of the car and the traffic outside. Robin was like usual; looking out the window lost in thoughts and Amon was only quiet.
Amon glanced at Robin while he was driving and then looked back at the road. Robin, that had seen that move, was a little troubled. She took a look at Amon that was still looking at the road and decided to break the silence.
"Amon, she started, would you know where Touko is?" Amon looked at her with his usual cold and serious look.
"Why do you ask?" he then said after a few minutes of silence. Robin looked up at him.
"Well," she then hesitated a little before proceeding "When I got up this morning there was no one home and her shoes were still in the entrance." She was a little afraid of what Amon's reaction would be hearing that Touko was gone. But she worried for nothing.
"I see" That was his answer? How could he stay so calm when she just told him that Touko wasn't there and she didn't know where she was? Who knows, something might have happened to her. After these few sentences Robin started to look out the window again. The way to the apartment they were supposed to check seemed extremely long to Robin. It felt like if she's been in this car for hours when it only been 15 minutes.
The sun was beginning to rise and the shops started to open. Suddenly the car stopped in front of an old looking building. The building was grey and high with even broken windows. Robin looked at Amon that was coming out of the car and she followed him. When they got at the door, Amon made a sign to Robin to tell her to be quiet. Robin nodded and they entered the building.
Amon stepped in first and took a look around. The building looked totally normal except for one single point. There was no one in every room. That place looked deserted. Who would come here? When Robin entered and saw that there was no living soul in the building she looked at Amon.
"What are we doing now?" she asked a little curious. She thought that there was no reasons of being here if there was no one. But knowing Amon, she knew that they would still investigate the place. And she was right.
"We're going to the room indicated by Michael to see if there is someone there." He said with his neutral voice still serious and calm. Even in these moments, Amon wasn't changing. Always as dark as usual and with his ice barrier in front of him so no one will be able to get too close to him.
Amon started to walk to the elevator doors and Robin followed his steps. When Amon pushed the button of the elevator nothing happened.
"It's broken we're going to take the stairs." After those words, Amon started to walk up the stairs, Robin behind him. Robin was starting to wonder if these stairs would ever have an end. The room Michael had told them to go was up in the 8th level and judging by the numbers on the walls that were some times appearing next to a door, they were only on the 4th level. '4 more to go' Robin thought to herself.
When they finally saw the number 8, Robin sat down on the last stair.
"Hurry Robin, there is no time for relax." She then got up and walked to the door. There was still more levels after this one and none of them noticed that there was something coming down the stairs.
Amon was about to open the door when he heard a small cry from Robin. He turned around to see the girl on the floor with a…a dog on her chest licking her face. Robin was laughing a little as the dog's tongue tickling her cheeks.
"A dog." Amon said after a minute of silence and watch. Robin took the dog in her hands and put it down next to her. She then wiped her face and turned to Amon.
"Sorry if I scared you when I screamed," she said nicely. "I got surprised." Amon kept the same face as usual and told Robin to get up and hurry so they could go after that witch. Robin nodded and got up. She took the dog in her arms for a minute, put it back down and then got up strait again. She looked at the dog and said,
"Sorry doggy but I can't play with you" Amon was looking impatient even with his emotionless face.
"Lets go now" he said with his dark voice. Robin nodded and started to follow Amon again. One thing that neither her nor Amon notice is that the dog was following them. After a while, Amon turned around to talk to Robin when he noticed that the dog was still there.
"Robin, the dog is still there." He said with his usual tone of voice. Robin looked behind her and saw the fluffy black puppy with a white spot on the right eye. She thought the dog was cute and wanted to keep him with them for now. She thought he might be helpful. But Amon didn't think so. He thought it would only get in the way. So she had to take the dog away.
"Stay here," she said to the dog. When they started walking again, the dog was still following them. Robin sighed. "I can't seem to be able to make him stay behind" she explained to Amon. He then sighed.
"Fine, it can stay. But only until we found the witch." And they then continued their way to the witch's apartment. They got at the door Michael had told them to go and then Robin made the dog go away.
"Lets go in." on those words, Robin followed Amon in the room. When they got in, no one was there.
"She probably heard that we were coming and left," said Robin trying to find an explanation. Amon nodded at that idea.
"Lets look around shall we." Amon went in direction of the kitchen and Robin started to look in the main room. As she was going around, Robin noticed that there was a sign made in sand behind the sofa. The sign was made of a half 6-branch star with a circle around. Under the half star are 3 triangles one after the other.
"This sign… I saw it somewhere. Again, why is this sign tells me something like… it's the sign again." Robin looked at the sign carefully. It was indeed the sign that had been used last time. "Amon!" she said in a hurry.
"What?" the dark hunter replied. He was busy trying to find some evidences.
"Here, there's the same sign as last time." She said with a worried tone in her voice. Robin was a little worried about the fact that the witch of last time might come back. She was wondering why he said that he was there to guide her but she still was afraid that it might be a trap.
Amon came to check it out and noticed the same thing as Robin. It was the last time's sign. The same sign that they thought made them go in a loop. Which wasn't really a fun thing. Robin thought about opening the door to see if they would go in a loop again and when she opened it.
Me: Hehe, yes I know, I'm mean to stop at a suspense point. Aw well. You guys will have to wait till the next chapter to know the rest! Hope that you enjoyed
