Welcome To Hell
Chapter Four
Robin was walking away, her back facing Amon. She licked her lips once more and attempted to push the thought out of her head. It felt good. She had wanted that for so long. She longed for the taste of his lips and she finally tasted them. Like a child tasting his first ice-cream cone. She longed for more. But knew she couldn't. She walked closer to the ditch, the staff following next to her. The flames flickered, illuminating her siloquet. She reached the ditch and turned right, she moved her hand, the ditch flames dispersed and she looked over at the three unconscious hunters. They were laying in a heap in the middle of a rock that was elevated in the middle of the endless ditch. She moved her hand again, and slowly the rock lowered into the ditch. Just as she was about to close the flames like a curtain, she felt something grab that hand's wrist. She spun around, her eyes flaring.
"Amon...?" Her eyes softened when she saw his face.
"Robin..." He spoke softly. Robin was confused, why did he follow her? Was he trying something tricky? After all he was a hunter. His other hand grabbed her other wrist. Shock flew across her face as she looked up into his eyes. He knew she could incinerate him with a simple wink. Yet, here he was, holding her, restraining her almost. He pulled at her arms bringing her closer to him. He swung her arms behind him and quickly moved his arms behind her back, pressing his lips to her's in one quick movement. Robin's eyes went wide, yet she didn't move. Slowly she closed her eyes and moved her arms up to the back of his neck where she embraced him.
They didn't want to part, but they did. Robin, breathing deep, just looked at him with curiosity. He only stared back. He looked over at the hunters then back at Robin.
"Can I compromise with you?" Amon asked, his arms still around her. She looked at him with a tilted head.
"What do you want to compromise?" She asked curiously.
"Them." He said and moved his head towards the hunters.
"What about them?" Robin asked, a little aggravated.
"Don't destroy them." Amon said softly.
"Why, they deserve it!" Robin said coldy, her hair starting to flare around behind her.
"No, they don't." Amon's lips move up into a small smile. Robin stepped back away from him.
"Oh..." She said colder then ever, feeling betrayed.
"I'll stay with you. Forever. Only if you don't destroy them." Amon said, Robin's eyebrow arch with interest. He took a step towards her.
"I can't just let them go." Robin said looking over at the hunters who were just starting to wake up. They looked across the ditch to where Amon and Robin were talking. They couldn't hear a word. They yelled out to Amon and he ignored them. Robin walked over to the edge of the ditch, Amon following her.
"Do what you feel fit. Just don't destroy them. They were once your friends. They were under pressure from Solomon. You know what that feels like. You were once in their shoes. Having to hunt and kill fellow witches." Amon spoke, his eyes watching the hunters. The hunters still not hearing them.
"What are they saying?" Dojima whispered to Sakaki.
"What do I look like a mind reader?" Sakaki whispered back.
"Can either of you read lips? I can't." Karasuma whispered.
"No." They both replied.
"True, they used to be my friends. And yes I was under pressure by Solomon to destroy witches or be destroyed myself. But I never killed friends. And I only hunted the witches if I knew they had no control. I was setting them free. 'They' were not setting anyone free. They were killing for a pat check." Robin said, her eyes squinting with anger.
"True." Amon agreed.
"They need to suffer and pay for what they did. They killed my best friends in cold blood. They killed me." Robin turned to Amon. She moved her hand and the staff floated out over the ditch. The hunters watched in fear. They were defenseless.
"Robin..." Amon went to grab her arm but she moved away.
"I will not be pushed around any more by Solomon. I will not live for eternity with 'these' people. I will not let them prosper!" Robin lifted her arm, palm facing the staff and opened her fingers. The staff glowed and the gold ball floated up above the staff. Flames rose higher, and Robin's hair blew around harshly behind her. The hot stem began rise and Amon shielded his face.
"Destroy them, and I will not hold up to my compromise. I'll leave you. I'll destroy myself." Amon yelled over the loud noises of steam and crackling fire. He was looking at Robin who continued to look at the hunters.
"I wont destroy them. Destroying them is too good for them. It would end their suffering. Why should I let them stop suffering when I am cursed to suffer in this place for all eternity?" Robin yelled and walked to them. Her arm raised up, palm and fingers open and the gold ball hovering above her open palm. A flame bridge appeared and allowed her to walk across the ditch. They backed away, knowing they had limited space. Robin stopped walking and turned back to Amon who was watching her with his black eyes, flames reflecting in the empty orbs.
"What are you going to do with us?" Dojima asked, fearing for her dead-life.
"We are already dead, you can't kill us." Karasuma said in a small defense.
"I'm gonna make you suffer for all eternity. Like you made me suffer in this place." Robin slowly lowered her arm, As she did the golden ball lowered and was at the same level as her open palm and the hunter's chests. They backed up further until they reached the other edge of the rock.
"Why are you doing this Robin? Why?" Sakaki tried to plead.
"Suffer." Robin hissed at them through clenched teeth, her fangs glistening in the flowing flames. The hunter's eyes were wide as the golden ball grew brighter. Then, light seamed to explode around them in a quiet get deafening explosion. Then they were gone. Robin lowered her hand to her side and walked back to Amon as the gold ball went back to it's place above the staff.
"Robin!" Amon growled at her. She reached for him and he backed away.
"Hey, don't worry. They are alive, or I should say immortal." Robin smiled and walked closer to Amon, wrapping one arm around his shoulder.
"They need to restart their lives. They will be no where near each other, no contact with each other, and no money, weapons or even a last name. Yurika is in India, Miho is in Mexico, with no powers, and Haruto is in Egypt." Robin smiled and kissed Amon.
"Robin..." He pulled back. She looked at him.
"Yes?" She smiled playfully.
"What now?" Amon asked, a smile playing at his lips and arms open. He now had his phoenix. The one he longed for since the fall of factory when she disappeared. The one he wanted to give his life for that fateful night in Italy two years ago. The one that haunted his mind every night.
Robin walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled.
"I make you mine." She leaned in and kissed him, holding him in an eternal embrace that neither wanted to brake.
A/N- Well? So what do you think? Is it original? Please R&R. Constructive criticism accepted. NO FLAMES (Robin is the only one who reserves that right)
