Raven and Robin
By: Sara Coyote Pope "Hecate"
Chapter 3- 'Why? Are you afraid of the dark?'
A/N- I know, I am farther behind than I like, but I have had a lot going on, seeing as to how school is coming to a close. But, I promise, I will pick up the pace. To those who have commented, and who enjoy my story, thanks you all. You are giving me the push I need to complete this. Disclaimer- I do not own Witch Hunter Robin, except for this new hunter, happy now?
There was no light at all, outside of Raven's Flat. The only light that was provided to Robin's protectors' was from their own flashlights. Not even the moonlight could break through the thick clouds of the night. Everyone was straining there other senses so that they could be aware of the mysterious hunters presence. The darkness was growing at such a level that it was becoming harder and harder to distinguish whose' shadow was whose. That's why, when the hunter did arrive, none of them even heard the gravel under her feet.
The new STNJ snapped around to where Robin was, to where their instincts were telling them that the predator was near. No one could even move so much as to point their weapons at the opponent. Nagira narrowed his eyes as he recognized the demon standing in front of them; it was the girl he encountered outside his building that very same day.
Then, she was frightening in a maniac serial killer way, but now, her eyes were calm, and emotionless. Her current demeanor was that of a cobra, deadly, graceful, and powerful. Now she was emitting a feeling of fear that you get when encountering something unknown and mysterious. Sometimes, not knowing is more frightening than knowing you are about to die.
Robin didn't move from where she had been standing a minute ago because she was too surprised to even blink. When someone rises out of your shadow right in front of you, it doesn't exactly leave your brain enough time to realize that this might be a threat.
The girl standing in front of Robin turned around to look at her. Her empty grey eyes piercing through Robin's bright green ones. She was halfway out of the shadow when Amon fired the first bullet, snapping everyone out of their stupor. Unfortunately, the bullet soared right through the hunter and clinked on the ground. The girl didn't even turn around; she just brought herself completely out of the shadow, and fully faced Robin.
"I'm back, Robin," the girl stated in a monotonous whisper. Robin's eyes widened in shock, and she lost control once again. Terrible images of body parts and blood flashed inside her eyelids. A tiny child standing in front of roaring flames, facing the cadavers, looking impassively at the body remains in front of them.
Fire started to shoot up everywhere around the stranger, Robin was firing her flames with great intensity, but always just missing her mark. At least, that's what it would look like from far away. The others couldn't believe their eyes; she was dodging the flames just as fast as Robin could throw them at her.
The protector's eyes were then drawn to the ground where pure black wings were growing out from the side of the hunter's shadow. The space around her began to crackle and surge with dark energy. No one even noticed the dark hand that was climbing its way up Robin's dress, until she started to call out.
"Feather's...red...blood, so much blood...no trees...no house...just a...Raven," in the middle of her rambling, Robin felt a slight pain up her shoulder where she found herself lying on the concrete. Amon had leapt towards her, and tore her out of the shadow's grip.
Her control had snapped long ago, but it wasn't until now that Robin finally let the tears flow.
"But, Raven, why?" Robin was able to speak, once she had regained a portion of her control, "Why did you come back?"
Cliffhanger!!! Maybe I should leave it here. (is stabbed by a frustrated fan) Okay, okay, no need to be violent (nursing wound)
The shadows began to rise out of the ground around the hunter. A giant raven erupted from the shadows and flew up into the sky before rocketing back down to the ground. As soon as its dark beak hit the street the darkness exploded, and what stepped out of the curtain of shadows was another Raven.
"How can there be two?" Dojima exclaimed, panicking. The second Raven began to laugh maniacally. Nagira recognized that crazed expression as the same one he saw on Raven outside his building that day.
"Why, there aren't two of us, for we are one in the same," Robin was clutching the sides of her head in fear that they would explode, "she is my shadow, and I am hers. We are both real, and we are both reflections of one another. We are just opposite sides of the same coin," Raven took a quick glance around at the group she was speaking to. Both Raven's then smiled, the first one looked solemn, her smile holding no sincerity. While the second one, looked like a crazed serial killer about to strike its next victim.
"What's the matter?" calm, Raven asked, "It can't be, that you all are afraid of the dark?" the crazed Raven finished.
