Amon looked out of the window, letting the moon light give him an unearthly color. They had stopped at an Inn, it had been six days since the festival and every night they made love until they were exhausted. Amon felt so good being with her; he wanted her to feel as good. But he worried now, they were just a day from home and he would have to tell her the truth. They still played their little game together, but he tried to tell her. He almost told her but they were interrupted and he lost his nerve.

'Why can't I tell? I'm a man, not a mouse.' He thought.

'You think you will lose her when you tell her.' his conscience said.

'Shut up, who asked you?'

'Because you know that when you return you will not be able to marry her. Your father probably has you arranged to marry someone. So tell her now and get it over!' Amon was brought out of thought when he heard his name being called out.

He turned around and saw Robin. She had a sheet around her and looked up at him.

"Robin you should be sleeping." He said tenderly, he walked up to her and kissed her lips.

"I want to, but when I felt for you, you weren't there. I thought the last two months had been a dream and I was back alone in the convent." She said, putting her arms around him. He laid down next to her and held her in his arms. He kissed her all over and told her reassuring and loving words. Robin felt comforted again and she kissed him back. They made love again and both fell asleep in each other's arms.

The Palace.

Raven sat up in bed. She had a horrible dream again and wondered if she was going crazy. A knock on the door brought her to her senses.

"Who is it?" she called, pulling the blanket up to her chin.

"it' me, my I come in?" a masculine voice asked.

"Of course, Micheal. Just give me a second please." Raven said as she grabbed for her robe. She slipped it on, tighten it and answered her door. He stood there with a grin on his face.

"Are you ready for a ride today?" he asked. Raven gave him a look.

"Micheal Lee in all the time you've known me do you really need to ask that?" she asked with a sly grin.

"In ten minutes be ready I have spotted someone you wish to see." He said. He turned to leave, but Raven's hand grabbed his wrist and pulled him back. He turned around and she kissed him on the lips.

"You're the best!" she said excitedly. He smiled at her and let her change. Raven was dressed and ready to leave in five minutes, enough time to run to Yurika and Haruto's apartments and tell them good news. However, she quickly left and thought she would go blind. She did not realize they would be naked. Raven ran outside to the court yard, there Sister Mary, Micheal, Syunji, Lantis and a few other guards were there. Raven saw her cream and black horse waiting for her.

"Come let's hurry!" she called as her horse walked up to her and she got on.

"Settle down Raven, they are about a days ride from here." Syunji said.

"Mi lord, that's Raven and her horse Vixen you're talking to." Lantis said.

"You're right, how can I forget." He said, but before he could say anything more to Raven, she was already leaving.

"Gee up!" she said, to her horse. Micheal laughed as he took off after her and the rest of the people knew this was going to be a short ride for the both of them.

"Who do you think will get there first, Sister Mary?" Syunji asked as the group started at an even pace.

"Knowing my little speedy Raven, she will be to her sister before Lord Micheal." She answered confidently. Raven saw Micheal and his horse Demon, come up her left side. His hand reached out for her hand and she gave it to him.

"Do you want to race love?" he asked.

"You bet I'll see you there!" she said, letting his hand fall and her horse gained speed.

Mean while...

Robin and Amon were on their way. They left the inn two hours ago and would be at the Palace by night fall. Amon still had not told Robin his secret. She smiled at him and was happy being near him and excited she would be seeing her sister. But, Robin felt Amon was not telling her something, she wanted to ask to ask him, but thought better of it. Both sense someone following them, so they casually began to speed up.

Noon.

Raven and Micheal let their horses drink some water and rest a minute, while giving the Prince and party some time to catch up. Micheal sat on the side of the lake and looked over the horizon.

"Micheal, what are you thinking?" Raven asked sitting next to him and offering him an apple.

"Hmm, nothing dear. I was just wondering what it would be like if you and I just rode out of here and never came back." He said.

"Well, after we are married, maybe for our honeymoon, we can travel. All around Asia, Africa, and Europe." She said, looking at him.

"You serious?" he asked.

"Dear, I'm sure. I want us to travel and be happy doing it. I also want to be able to share a bed with you at night and not worry if anyone is saying something. You know what I mean." She said. He leaned over and kissed her on the lips. Raven's hand went to the side of his face and caressed it gently. They broke a part a minute later.

"I take it you like my idea? Yes?" she asked, smiling.

"Yes dear." He said. They got up and started off again. They began at a light trot. Syunji and the others were about a mile and a half behind them.

Robin and Amon stopped to rest, they thought they had lost their followers and sat by a stream. However, their followers stopped in front of them; there were eight of them surrounding them. All of the men were wearing black and masks. In addition to the black, each man had a pendent around their necks. Their leader wore an S on each of his shoulders.

"Good afternoon, Second Prince Amon Nagira-Kono. If you would be so kind and hand the witch over with out a fight, we would be grateful." The leader said. Amon stood up and moved in front of Robin. Robin eyes widen in horror as she heard Amon's full name.

'Why didn't he tell me?' she thought.

"Who are you and why do you want this woman?" he asked, his sword was ready to be drawn. Robin let the new information slip as she ready to use her powers to fight these men.

"It does not matter, the only thing that does is that you give us this witch. You have two options, one you give her to us peacefully or two, we take her by force." The man said.

"You'll have to kill me first." Amon said.

"We don't want to do that, but we will use force to get her. Her head is worth a pretty shilling." He said, he raised his hand and two of the men had cross bows raised. Robin sent fire to the bows, but they were reflected back to her.

'Oh shit, Witch Hunters!' she thought.

"Your powers will not work here; these are witch proof blades, arrows and bows." The man said, his tone was an evil one.

"Robin get out of here, now." Amon whispered. Robin looked at him as if he were crazy.

"I won't leave you." She said, her daggers were ready to be used.

"I'll ask you once more, give us the girl or else we'll take her by force." The man said as his men dismounted and had their weapons ready. Amon had his sword drawn, still in front of Robin.

"I'll tell you once more, you'll have to kill me first before I let you take her." Amon said coldly.

"As you wish, men you heard him. But don't kill him, just render him unconscious." The man said. The men shot their arrows and Robin tried to stop them with her fire, but it didn't work again.

'Dammit!' she thought Amon pushed her to the ground as the arrows flew right where Robin was just standing.

"Just run Robin, I don't want you to get hurt." Amon said as two men came up to him. He blocks them and stabbed one, then blocked another attacker. Robin got up and a man ran at her. She dodged the arrow and stabbed him in the neck with her dagger as she tripped him. More arrows were shot at Robin and she dodged them again. Amon killed another man and counted four left. However out of no where, two men came behind Robin and they grabbed her. She tried to use her magic to fend them off, but the pendants they wore blocked it. They forced her to her knees and had a knife to her throat.

"Amon!" Robin yelled. He turned and saw her. but before he could go over to her, their leader lifted his hand and the knife drew a little blood.

"Prince Amon, I suggest you stop fighting or else I'll have her snow white throat slit." The leader said. Amon stopped where he was, he didn't want to risk Robin's life.
