A Soul's Search
ch 8
"I don't believe it, this isn't possible!?" Michael exclaimed in a mix of confusion and disbelief.
"Micheal, what is it?" Carina asked curiously.
"I found the witch's idol, but you're not going to believe where it is." Michael replied leaning back in his chair, with a frustrated frown.
"Where boy, where is the witch's idol?" Auberon asked staring at him with an impatient look.
"It's in the factory that's all I know. Somehow, I was cut off from finding out anything more." Michael told him rubbing the back of his neck. Auberon smiled cruelly, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed.
"Yeah?" Aidan asked on the other end hushing the other two so he could hear.
"We found the witch's idol." Auberon replied.
"You did?! Where?" Aidan asked in curious excitement.
"It's in the factory." Auberon replied with a slight tone of annoyance.
"The factory!?" Aidan shot back causing the other two to fall over. "How are we suppose to get it when it's in there?"
"I don't care how, just do it!" Auberon told him. Aidan could tell that Auberon's patience was wearing thin. A cruel smile crept onto Auberon's lips, "Get the hunters to help you."
Aidan was completely shocked, he couldn't believe what Auberon was saying. Even with being a witch that could foretell the future, he definitely didn't see that one coming. "What?! You can't be serious! They won't help us get it from there!"
"If they refuse, then tell them they can forget about seeing these two alive ever again!" Auberon yelled at him as eh hung up the phone.
"Well, what did he say?" Remus asked looking at Aidan with a confused frown.
"He said to have the hunters help us get the item." Aidan replied in annoyance.
"That's ridiculous! They'd sooner kill us than work with us!" Shamir replied in anger.
"Oh, they'll work with us on retrieving the item..." Aidan said with a wiry grin.
"How can you be so sure? Did you predict it or something?" Remus asked hotly.
"If they want to see their friends that are trapped within Raven's Flat alive they will." Aidan replied as a very chilling laugh resonated from his throat that sent shivers up and down their spines.
An hour later, Robin and Amon were in the back of Raven's Flat. While Sakaki and Karasuma were waiting at the front. "Are you sure that you can't break the craft from out here?" Amon asked looking at Robin with a deep frown.
"No, it has to be from inside. Knowing Demonio, and his magic, it can't be broken unless if you're right next to it." Robin explained with a frown of concern.
"We don't even know how deep he cast his spell. The tunnel that goes to the well could be blocked off as well." Amon rationalized.
"It's possible, but we won't know for sure unless we go down there and see for ourselves." Robin argued lifting the opening. Amon let Robin go in first, then he climbed in right after, making sure that the cover closed back into place.
"Tell me again, why are we out here in the open?" Sakaki asked looking at her curiously.
Karasuma sighed, "basically, to run interference, so Demonio doesn't find out about Robin and Amon."
"Oh, ok, just checking." Sakaki replied with an acknowledged nod. "Ok, here goes nothing." Sakaki reached up and rang the door bell. Michael jumped a little when he heard it. He looked at one of his screens that was patched into the front door's security system. "Hey Michael, let us in."
"Just a minute." Michael replied looking up at Auberon.
"Get rid of them." Auberon warned eyes glowing.
Michael nodded, "Sakaki, Amon just called, he wants you and Ms. Karasuma to meet him and Robin at the shopping district."
Sakaki and Karasuma frowned at each other. They knew that those two were not at the shopping district. "Well alright, if that's what Amon said. I guess we'll see you when we get back." Sakaki replied walking away from the front door along with Karasuma. Auberon smirked, and looked upon Michael with an impressed expression.
Carina looked at Auberon with a skeptical expression as she crossed her arms. "That's a first."
"What are you talking about?" Auberon asked leering over at her.
"A demon that was impressed by a human." Carina replied, "you've never been impressed with anyone or anything that I remember."
"Be careful on how you come off, half-breed, or you'll be losing more than your tongue!" Auberon warned growling at her.
Carina was more angry than afraid of his threat, "why you..."
"Carina..." Michael started to say as he quickly got up and stood between her and the demon witch. Auberon chuckled at Michael's attempt of keeping Carina away from him. He just shook his head and left the two, but he didn't go very far.
Carina frowned deeply at him, "Michael, why did you..."
Michael's eyes showed major concern for her as he looked deep into hers. "Carina, I didn't want you to get hurt that's why, please, you have to understand."
"Michael..." Carina replied quietly. Her eyes went soft when she understood his reason for getting in her way.
Auberon glanced back at them with a sneer. He never understood the reason for human emotions. The thought of people showing any kind of emotion besides anger, jealousy, grief and hate sickened him to no end. He'd rather have people in torment. From where Auberon was sitting, his power started to pulsate. "It seems like we have visitors. Let's see who they could be, shall we?"
When Auberon was on his way over, Carina saw on the monitor that Robin and Amon were in the tunnel that was leading to the well. She met Michael's eyes and gave a slight nod. Michael picked up on it and he then disconnected the cord with his foot leading to that particular monitor, cutting off the feed. The video feed might have been cut, but the audio that's in the tunnel is still on, Robin and Amon could still hear everything that was going on inside. "Clumsy me, and with all of this wiring mess, it'll take me hours to get it all straightened out." Michael said shuffling through all of the wiring.
"That boy, was very foolish on your part. You shouldn't have done that, and now you'll find out the consequence of your actions." Auberon replied, his power pulsed from him and sent Michael flying into the next wall, embedding him in it. Michael yelled in extreme pain as soon as he made contact. A small trickle of blood ran from the corner of his mouth. His eyes looked like they were glazed over, his head pounding like a jack hammer.
Carina's eyes went wide in concern, "Micheal!" She ran over towards him and stopped when she was standing before him. "Oh Micheal." Carina's eyes went soft, her heart went out to him.
Micheal's head slowly raised, and then he looked at her, "I'm alright, besides a pounding headache and sore ribs, I'm good."
Auberon started to approach them, "Carina, I've always wondered something. How can you even call yourself a hunter? I mean back in Italy, Robin was the one that did most of the hunting and you just tagged along."
Carina whirled around and narrowed her eyes at him, "no you're lying and you know it! Robin and I worked as a team, something that you wouldn't know anything about!"
"That's right, why have a craft like controlling fire, when having a craft like predicting the future is so much better?" Auberon taunted coming closer.
"You're just trying to make me second guess myself. I'll tell you now that it won't work! You've played your mind games before, back then I didn't understand my awakening, but now it's different!" Carina shot back getting into defensive position.
Auberon stopped and then smirked as he looked at her in amusement. "You can't be serious, you're going to fight me. Now this should be quite entertaining. Alright, I accept your challenge. I'll tell you what, I won't even use my powers just to make this a fair fight."
Micheal's eyes went wide and then narrowed, "don't believe him Carina. He'll pull anything if given the right opportunity."
"I know that Micheal, have faith in me." Carina replied with a small smile taking a chance of looking back at him. She then looked back towards Auberon, "all right I'm ready when you are, so let's get to this."
In the tunnel Robin froze dead in her tracks, "Carina, no…"
Amon stopped and turned around frowning at her. "Robin, what is it?"
