Ch14

Amon woke up to an empty bed and went to go look for Robin. When he found her she was sitting outside on the back porch watching the animals play. He came up behind her and kissed the back of her neck fondly, then wrapped his arms around her.

"Amon I cannot do it."

"What Robin?"

She looked down and spoke quite softly. "I cannot be with you after last night. You are in too much danger with me around."

He walked in front of Robin and pulled her chin up lightly with his fingers. "I am in danger no matter what, Robin. That is just how my life is. And don't think I'd change it to put myself out of harm but leave you alone."

"Amon I can't marry you while I'm being hunted by Solomon."

"Then take care of your problem or forget about it. I will have you as my wife and there is no saying that you won't have me Robin."

"But Amon what am I to do? How would I..."

He kissed her lips "You know how Robin." With that he walked into the house and started to make breakfast and left her to her thoughts. She walked in a little while later, and he had breakfast ready on the table for her. She walked over to him and kissed his forehead then sat down at her place at the table and began to eat. She stopped a few seconds later and thoughtfully sipped her orange juice.

"I won't be able to do it alone. I'm going to need everyone's help."

"We will go after we eat." Amon said without looking up from his biscuits and gravy. After they ate they went to Ravens Flat. When they walked up everyone was there at their desks. Business was slow again and they were waiting for something to do. Robin walked up to Michael and exchanged some words with him.

Everyone watched as his mouth dropped, he drooled, and got to work on his computer. She walked towards the others who were looking at her interestedly. "Ok. If you guys choose to help we are in for a big fight."

The anxious Sakaki spoke up "just tell us what we need to do Robin. We are with you." The other two looked over and nodded in agreement with his words. Amon went and stood next to her.

"What do you want us to do Robin?"

"Michael is getting the information now, when he is done we will talk more." Everyone went back to waiting for Michael to get the information. They sat there for hours anxiously biding their time, and even Yurika stayed--probably because she had called Nagira; and he wanted to join the mission. Though Nagira's indigence at not being involved in the initial planning was enough to inspire a slight disquiet at his entrance to Raven's Flat.

"I got it!" Michael yelled as he found what Robin requested. She walked next to him to make sure everything she needed was there. After she checked it she had everyone gather in the other room to see what was going to happen. While Michael was getting the first image ready, Robin spoke about what she was going to do, and what they could do to help out.

"As you know Solomon has been after me for a while and they keep getting closer and closer. Who knows how long the magic will last to protect them from finding our home. That is where you come in. I need your help to take him down once and for all. Michael has found all the plans to his main office in Italy, if you wish to help. This will not be an easy mission. I plan to go and kill Solomon." Here she paused and observed the looks of suspected insanity the other members exchanged. "They won't just let us walk in there, so it will be a big fight. I will understand if no one wants to go thru with it but no matter what-- I must. So please think about it."

The room was silent for a few minutes. Everyone was busy thinking about what Robin had just said, what she was about to do and what she asked of them if they chose to help. As the minutes ticked by, the silent tension grew eerie. Sakaki was looking down at his hands on the table when he spoke up. "So there is a possibility we won't come back, right?"

"Yes Sakaki we might not." Robin said in the softest yet most understanding voice she could.

He looked up, "Alright I'm in." He smiled "we haven't done anything in a while I need something to do before I go crazy."

After a few minutes the others spoke up, everyone supportive of Robin and willing to follow her; maybe even to the bitter end. But they believed in her, and were her friends; they would not leave her to fight and die alone. They spent hours going over the plan more in depth. Discussing different plans to escape in case the whole situation went over the deep side of tragic.

After reminding them there were a few days before this was to happen, they departed to spend time doing what each liked the most. Robin and Amon spent the whole time at home being lovers, and best friends. Yurika and Nagira also spent the time together. They went shopping for more things for their home and she wanted some new clothes. Not even certain death could assuage her desire for the newest fashions.

Miho spent the time with her boyfriend, not knowing if she would see him again and arranging what should be done with her things if she didn't return. Michael and Sakaki spent the time together. Cruising around the city looking for things to do and people to meet, just having a good time.

It was the night before they were to meet and travel to Italy to finalize their plans. Robin made arrangements for places to stay and double-checked back roads to escape routes out of the country if anything happened. She and Amon spent the night in bed after they cleaned up from dinner.

Amon looked into her eyes he could not believe this could possibly be the last romantic moment they spent together. He lightly kissed down her frame all the way to her feet and started to rub them. Then slowly moved up her calf, then her thigh, rubbing and kissing his way up. He got to her stomach and started to place soft gentle kisses all over, moving up her chest and to her neck, then to her lips kissing her sweetly and passionately.

She kissed him back. His lips were soft and lustful. She ran her hands along his sides and onto his back. His skin soft and cool against her touch...his touch desperate, with fears of what tomorrow would bring against her skin. She pulled Amon on top of her and moved her legs apart a little. He bent down and kissed her neck, wrapping his arms around her legs and spreading them further slowly slipping his manhood into her body. This went on into the hours of the night, touching each other showing how much they cared with a kiss or a sweet little word whispered into the others ear.
