A Soul's Search
ch 2
"Your hunger for power and revenge will someday be your down fall, Auberon." Aidan declared when he entered the room.
Auberon laughed, "what does an old blind man know about hunger for power and revenge?" Auberon asked humorously.
"Careful on how you address me Auberon, I don't need eyes to see that you don't have a future as long as the hunters that you seek are alive." Aidan replied as he turned to face him.
"You tell me the same thing over and over again old man. The same song, same tune, it's getting old. I'm getting tired of you repeating what I already know." Auberon said in annoyance as he rolled his eyes.
"Then why don't you listen, and do something about it for a change? You won't be able to out run the ones that hunt you very much longer. Sooner or later, you'll have to face them." Aidan warned as he stepped forward with his cane.
"What makes you think that I don't want to face them?" Auberon asked in amusement as he sat back in his chair.
"You're being too cocky that's the problem with you young people, always thinking that you're invincible." Aidan replied as he shook his head in disappointment.
"As you have told me once already, I'm not exactly a human, nor a witch, you said it yourself, I'm something else entirely different." Auberon bragged in a bored tone.
"That maybe true, but like everyone else, you too have a weakness." Aidan pointed out with a smirk as he started to walk away.
'Foolish old man, trying to scare me with his visions. If I didn't need him or his powers, then I'd get rid of him a long time ago.' Auberon mused in annoyance as he kicked his feet up onto the desk and leaned back into his chair.

"We've been hiding here for two weeks now, when are we going to make our move?" Shamir asked in slight annoyance.
"Would you just be patient? We'll know when the time is right, so just relax." Remus replied in a bored tone as he glance over towards him.
"I'm use to working solo, I don't work well with others." Shamir pointed out as he was throwing darts.
"So I've noticed." Remus replied as he took his turn. Remus's dart floated off from the desk and flew dead center.
Shamir's eyes went wide and then narrowed in annoyance as he snapped his attention towards him. "What's that suppose to mean?"
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, or should I call you children, since you're acting like five year olds?" Aidan asked as he suddenly showed up out of nowhere.
"Be careful on how you speak to me old man." Shamir warned as he glared at him.
"No, it's I that should warn you to be careful, Shamir, I can send you back to Italy without any hesitation." Aidan replied coldly. Shamir suddenly went quiet as he
backed off from the blind witch. "That's what I thought."
"So Aidan, when do we get to meet up with Auberon? And when do we get to carry out our revenge?" Remus asked as he glanced over towards him.
"In due time, Remus. But first, in order for this to work, I am going to need to know how far the two of you will go with your plans for revenge, before you meet up with Auberon." Aidan explained as he tapped the top of his cane. The two witches looked at each other and smirked as they nodded their heads in agreement.
"All the way." Shamir replied as he crossed his arms.
"Good, that's all I need to know." Aidan said as he turned and started to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute, where do you think you're going? When will we get to meet up with Auberon?" Remus asked as he bolted up from his chair.
"In due time, but in the mean time, we're going to need for you two to take a test to see if you're even worth out time." Aidan replied as he stopped and kept his back to them.
"Test, what kind of test?" Shamir asked as he was starting to get annoyed with the old, blind witch.
"It's nothing to get alarmed about Shamir. If you don't want to do it, then you can always go back to Italy." Aidan replied with a smirk.
"We can take any test that you want to throw at us old man." Remus replied hotly.
"Alright, here's what you have to do." Aidan said as he started to explain their test to them.

"So Carina..." Robin started to say as she took a drink of her espresso.
"Yeah?" Carina asked as she raised an eye brow at her.
"Since you just got here, did headquarters provide you with a place to stay?" Robin asked as she set down her cup.
"No, all they did was give me a business card that said Raven's Flat with their address on it, and instructed me to go there." Carina replied as she shrugged.
"Oh, I see." Robin said as she was taken back a little.
"I guess that headquarters thought it wouldn't take very long to take care of things here." Carina replied in a nonchalant manner.
"Carina..." Robin started to say in a concerned way.
"Yes?" Carina asked as she glanced over towards her.
"When we were at Raven's Flat, I asked about your headaches, and you didn't answer my question. It was like you were trying to avoid answering it. May I ask why?" Robin replied as she looked upon her friend in concern.
"You're not going to let that go, are you?" Carina asked back. Robin shook her head. "I didn't think so. Alright, when we were working together in Italy, they weren't that bad. They didn't increase until you left for Japan." Before Carina took a drink of her chai.
"So then, does it mean that your powers have fully awakened?" Robin asked curiously.
"Looks that way doesn't it." Carina replied as she finally took a drink.
"I see," Robin said with a slight frown as she held onto her espresso. "One more question, does headquarters know about them?"
Carina frowned slightly as she held onto her chai. "I'm not sure, if they did, they gave no indication of knowing." Carina stared at the steam that was coming from her drink. An unsettling quiet fell between the two friends. Just then Robin's cell phone rang.
"Hello?" Robin answered.
"Robin, you're suppose to go to the shopping district, oh and Amon wants you to bring Carina." Michael replied.
"Michael, what's going on?" Robin asked as she prodded for more information.
"He wouldn't say, all Amon said was to contact you and deliver the message." Michael stated.
"Alright, thanks Michael." Robin replied as she hung up and put away her cell phone. Just as Robin was going to turn around, a sound of a crashing ceramic cup echoed as it fell on the floor, and shattered into tiny fragments. She looked up to se her friend holding her head in pain. "Carina, what's wrong?"
"Two witches, very powerful..." Carina replied between the gasps of pain. The talisman on Carina's neck started to swing back and forth until her headache was gone. Carina looked up slowly as she carefully took her hands away from her head.
"Carina?" Robin asked in concern.
"I'll be alright, I just need a minute." Carina replied as she was getting herself composed. "Robin, we have to go now!"
