A Soul's Search
ch 4
"Carina, can you tell exactly where the two witches are?" Robin asked glancing over towards her. Carina glanced back, and then closed her eyes. Concentrating hard to locate them. It didn't take long, and then she had a vision of the three hunters hovering in midair. Also in the vision was Remus getting ready to skew them through their hearts where the metal shards.
"No!" Carina exclaimed opening her eyes very quickly, and running to their location.
"Carina, wait!" Robin called after her when she took off from where she was.
"There's no time! We have to hurry, or they'll die!" Carina called back pulling out a small retractable bo. When Robin saw her friend's weapon, she gave a small smirk. Because she remembered the last time Carina used it, last time Carina laid out their instructor flat on his back. Robin pulled out her glasses from her pocket and put them on.
"Carina, you saw their surroundings, any suggestions?" Robin asked while turning the corner.
"From what I saw, it'll be better if I go behind them, if you'll go in front and run interference. That'll give me more than enough time." Carina replied going off to the left so she could be in position.
"It looks like they're not going to show. I'm very disappointed." Shamir said in slight annoyance.
"Don't worry about it, we'll find them later. Now, we'll just take care of them." Remus replied, "I thought that the STNJ was actually going to be a challenge. Oh well, I'm done toying around with them. Now it's time for you hunters to die." Sakaki, Karasuma, and Amon braced themselves for the worst. Carina was finally in position behind the two witches. 'Come on Robin!' In the last possible second, the metal shards melted into nothing.
"I will not allow you to hurt them any further." Robin said while walking out confidently in front of them.
"Robin, get out of here!" Sakaki warned her. She ignored him and narrowed her eyes.
"Well, I see that one of you made it to the party. So where's the other?" Shamir asked curiously.
"Right behind you!" Carina answered as her retractable bo fully extended, and whacked both of them right behind their kneecaps, knocking them down to the ground.
The force was enough to break Shamir's hold onto the three hunters, making them fall to the ground as well.
"Are you alright?" Robin asked in concern kneeling down next to them.
"Yes, only minor cuts, nothing to be worried about. Karasuma replied while looking them over.
"You ruined our fun! So now you're going to make it up to us by being our next victim!" Remus growled angrily, as he and Shamir were wincing while getting up. Carina closed her eyes, and got into defensive position with her bo ready.
"Get this Remus, she thinks that she can fight the two of us with her eyes closed." Shamir laughed in amusement. Just as the two witches were going to attack, a firewall appeared before them, blocking their way. They shielded their eyes so they wouldn't be blinded. When the fire died, Carina was no longer there.
"I don't believe it! You lost her!" Remus growled angrily.
"What do you mean I lost her? You're the one..." Shamir growled back. A light laugh of amusement came from behind.
The two quickly whirled around and saw Carina standing there ready to fight. "You two are pathetic. How do you expect to catch a hunter, no wait, five hunters, if you can't even work together?"
"Why you..." Remus growled as he and Shamir were going to try again. The second time, another firewall got in front of them. This time when the fire died, Sakaki, Karasuma, and Amon surrounded them with their guns aimed and ready.
"Might as well give up." Sakaki warned with a smirk. Not too far away, two other witches were waiting in the wings.
"Auberon, are you still sure that you want those two? I mean, as you saw for yourself, they can't even stand each other, so how do you expect them to work together?" Aidan asked curiously.
"Yes, that's exactly why I want them." Auberon replied with a smirk. "Then when their use is over, it'll be that much easier to get rid of them."
"Of course, but if they get caught, then they'll be of no use to us." Aidan pointed out.
"I suppose an appearance is in order." Auberon replied wirily as he and Aidan phased from where they were to Shamir and Remus. Carina dropped her bo and gasped at the same time, as she grabbed onto the side of her head in pain falling to her knees.
"Carina!" Robin exclaimed kneeling down beside her.
"It's been a while Robin Sena and Carina Simona." Auberon greeted with a sly grin.
"Auberon." Robin replied narrowing her eyes angrily. Carina's talisman started to swing back and forth, starting to sooth away the pain in her head.
"It's a pleasure to see the both of you again." Auberon said with a smirk. "But it's time for us to take our leave. We'll see you again." The four witches vanished as quick as a blink of an eye.
"I don't believe it, they're gone." Sakaki said in amazement, putting his gun away.
"We better get back." Amon replied when he started to walk away.
Robin watched him go with a frown, and then she was snapped back to reality when she felt a sudden movement. "Carina, are you alright?"
"Maybe that Auberon guy did something to her?" Sakaki suggested.
"I'll be alright, I just need a minute." Carina replied. Robin and Sakaki were on either side of her, and helped Carina to stand. Robin picked up Carina's bo and handed it to her. Carina gave a small smile of thanks, and pushed a button in the middle of it to make it retract. When it was in the original size, she put it back inside of her leather jacket. "Thanks, I'm a little better now, just a bit tired."
"I don't understand something." Karasuma mused in slight confusion as they walked over to where Amon was waiting.
"Yeah, what's that?" Carina asked glancing over towards her.
"When Auberon showed up, it was like you took an automatic hit, and your energy drained. Why?" Karasuma asked curiously.
"It's always been like that, ever since Robin and I use to hunt him in Italy. For some reason, Auberon can drain a witch's power or life energy from them, and make it his own. But we're not exactly sure what those other powers he has. He might not even be a witch, he might be something else entirely." Carina explained finally making it to the car.
