Robin
Robin looked around amazed at what the nuns did for her. All their compactions, and help with learning to control her craft. She did not need her glasses anymore but kept them to remind herself of what she was returning to, and why she was leaving this beautiful place. It has been a long time since she has left the gates of the church and did she really want to? She walked through the garden where many of her long spent hours were perfecting her craft.
Julliano came to visit her as often as he could. Often talking about Solomon, he came with good news last week. It seems that they have not been looking for her in Japan for about six months. But he was in Europe looking. And he would get her out as soon as he could.
Amon was always on her mind. She wishes she could tell him where she was. But instead she sighed and went to the church for her weekly talk with Julliano. "It's confirmed Robin. Solomon has pulled completely out of Japan. He said it is a lost cause." Robin smiled
"I can go back then?"
"Not yet my child but soon, very soon."
The look of relief on Robins face made him feel good. Like all the wrong he did by her for some reason felt right. A heavy weight seemed to lift from her shoulders. She then had prayed with the father, and then left him going to her room to write one last letter to Amon.
Dear Amon,
After this I will not be writing you anymore. Just trust me please.
She then went on to babble like she did in all the other letters she had sent to him. She returned to the father's side and handed him the letter. He then stood up and so did Robin. "I will see you in three weeks. Good-bye my child." He said as he walked away.
"Good bye" Robin whispered.
She could not wait for the three weeks to pass. She wanted to go back and see everyone again. See how much they have changed. The weeks have passed fairly easy. She was leaving in only a few days. She was sad, wanting to stay with her new friends, but happy to be going back home to her old ones. There was too much to do, to many people to say goodbye to in three days but she managed to do so.
She had her things all packed, standing by the main door to the church waiting for the taxi to arrive. The sisters walked up to her and gave her a gift. It was wrapped in brown paper and sort of big. "Do not open it Robin until you get to Japan" the head nun instructed her.
"I won't."
"This is going to be the hard part." Julliano stated. He then handed her, her new id and pass port.
"Samantha Lee."
"Yes we do not want Solomon to find you before you leave. He will surly have many people at the airport waiting."
They hugged. She was really going to miss Julliano. She could never get used to calling him grand father and he understood. As the taxi pulled up she wanted to cry. She did not want to leave. She looked around with a sad face before getting into the taxi. She is not here. She sat in the taxi and was ecstatic. "What are you doing here?"
"Father Julliono said it would be alright for me to ride with you to the airport if you would like." The auburn haired girl stared at her, her light blue eyes piercing hers.
Robin looked at her happily, eyes wide open. "Yes I would like that very much." With that the taxi was off. As they arrived at the airport they started to talk. The whole ride was silent except for the driver humming and old song.
"I want to come in with you to see you off."
"No Meg" Robin barked. "It might be dangerous."
"I don't care." Meg looked hastily. "Ok" she sighed. "Will you at least write me?" Her blue eyes filled with tears.
"Hmmm..." Robin shook her head. "As soon as I get settled."
They hugged; Robin took her suit case and watched as the taxi pulled out of view. She was almost at the terminal she was to leave from and she got a chill. The hair on the back of her neck stood up. Had they figured me out already, she wondered. She looked around but no one stood out. Her heart raced, who could it be?
She needed to get out of the view of the people. She seen the lavatory and made her way to it. She herd the door open and turned. "Hello love." The man said with an Australian accent. "Let's just get it over with shall we?"
"Hmm..." Robin nodded.
It did not take long for her to realize what had just happened, as she fell to the floor. It was a trap; another witch had walked in while the other had her distracted. A ball of water and psychic energy hit her. Her blood was around her on the floor; she heard a laugh. "What's so funny?" She wined as she tried to get up.
The Australian spoke. "We are no match for you love. Yet together we are faster than you are." Flight 29 to Tokyo Japan now boarding
She knew she could not win when they were together. Her best bet was to get out of there and on that plane. Think Robin think. They were now standing side by side thirty paces in front of her intentionally blocking the door. With all her might she conjured her craft. Flames all around them, they parted trying to put out the flames that were on their cloths. She grabbed her suit case and ran. "We will find you love. We know where you are going."
Robin was drenched and knew she could not get on the plane like that. She found a spot where no one was at and could not see. Her eyes glowed and in seconds she was dry. She boarded the plane and let out a sigh of relief. About an hour into the flight she could not wait anymore. She opened the package the nuns had given her. In it was a manila envelope. There was a letter and pictures. She looked at the pictures; they were of the nuns and everyone she had met at the church. She read the letter:
Robin,
If you are reading this you must be on your plane. This is good because you are safe. We hope you like the pictures and keep going down further there is something else for you.
She opened the rest and it was a blanket. The nuns made her a blanket, full of symbols, and words of wisdom for her life from each of them, and good tidings and blessings. Robin wanted to cry, but instead she covered herself with the blanket and fell asleep for the rest of the flight.
