Chapter 4..
dream
"were am I ?...why am I here?"….The sounds of yelling between a man and a woman were heard.
"Look, I just don't think what your doing is right they may have broken the law but their still people, that's all I'm saying!"
Robin walked over to the direction of the argument. It was Zazien and a woman with brown hair, and a work suit on, standing across from each other and arguing about something.
"You have no business poking around in the factory! You know its top secret, do have a death wish? You could have been killed and I wouldn't have been able to save you!" yelled Zazien to the woman. "I was only looking for you! And if it's so dangerous maybe you shouldn't work there!" The woman snapped back.
Robin looked around and found that she was in a little house. She was at the entrance to a kitchen hiding behind the wall so the couple wouldn't see her. 'What is this dream supposed to mean and why is Zazien a part of it? Where are the others?' Robin wondered.
Zazien approached the woman to strike her just as a little girl with a knapsack about nine or ten walked in causing him to stop. "Mom! Dad! I'm home!" Yelled the little girl from the front door. She dropped her knapsack and hurried over to the kitchen to give her mom a hug.
"Go to your room sweetie, mommy and daddy have some things to discuss." The woman said in a shaky voice as she let go of the little girl.. "what's wrong mommy? Did daddy say something mean again? I bet he didn't mean it" Whispered the girl in a serious tone. Robin looked shocked. 'Could that be…Kira? It couldn't be, but she's Zaziens daughter…' Thought Robin.
"Nothings wrong hun go to your room now and practice your studies."
"K mom." She said, and skipped past Robin, not noticing her and up the stairs to her room.
Play ground school bell rings, again,
Rain clouds come to play, again,
Has no one told you she not breathing,
Hello? I'm your mind giving someone to talk to,
Hello?...
Zazien approached the woman again and this time smacked her across the face causing the woman to fall backwards during an attempt to escape. Robin tried to use her craft against him, but failed.' I...I can't use my craft! 'Said a confused Robin.
"Why do you stand up for those worthless creatures! Their nothing! Nothing but a disgrace and threat to man kind and now your bringing Kira into this! What are you a witch too?" Yelled Zazien before trying to hit her again but was thrown back by a clear shield that appeared around the woman who was now cowering away from him. She was sobbing and shaking as she sat on the floor on the floor, she curled up into a little ball. "Your going to kill me because I'm one of them ,aren't you..? Why can't you just accept me for who I am? Did our marrage mean nothing to you?" She screamed looking into his eyes with glowing blue eyes as she backed away from him . The shield around her body was starting to spread and turn into a tinted blue. "You would kill your own flesh and blood Zazien? What about Touko! What about Kira! What about Us? Would you kill your children as well?" she sobbed.
If I smile and believe,
Soon I know ill wake, from this dream,
Don't try to fix me I'm not broken,
Hello? I'm the lie living for you so you can hide,
Don't cry…
Zazien wasn't listening, he was fuming with rage and took out an orbo gun aiming at the woman "All witches must die! Even if it's you! I will make sure Touku and Kira will never awaken and you shall die!"
'No!' Screamed Robin .
"Your not my flesh and blood you're a witch." Shots were heard but Robin couldn't see a thing, after that everything turned black for a moment..
Amon Awoke to the sounds of Robin screaming something in her sleep, he got out of bed and burst into her room and tried to shake Robin but it didn't work. She was glowing with some kind of blue aurora. "Robin wake up your dreaming." He said calmly.
"No, no, why is he doing this?" said Robin. "Robin wake up it's me Amon." He said trying to wake her but nothing was working. 'Why is she glowing?' he wondered . "A witch…" He muttered out loud and stalked off to Kira's Room.
Robin was standing out side the house she was just in. Solomon agents were everywhere but didn't seem to notice her just like the little girl. "Dad what's going on and what was that big bang? Who was that tall dark guy?"
"Kira, mom had a little accident is all, she needs to be taken to the hospital until she's better. You will stay with me at the factory until things settle down." He said calmly.
Two Solomon Agents came out of the house carrying a stretcher with a blood covered blanket on top of a body, and put the stretcher in a black van.
" I thought you said mom had a little accident! Why can't we stay at home! I wana stay with mom!" The girl said in a panicked voice.
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping,
Hello, I'm still here, or what's left of yesterday hello?…..
"….Get in the car Kira ..It's time to go." Said Zazien turning around as the a solomon agent grabbed Kira by the wrists and tried to shove her into a black van.
"Let me go! I wana see my mom! NOO! STOP! DAD WHATS HAPPENING!NOOOOO I DON"T WANA! LEAVE ME ALONE! I WANT MY MOM! AHHH! The girl was struggling to get away from the agents that had a hold of her. Robin only watched on in horror , she was helpless.
'This..is how..she lost her mother…to that..thing..almost like..Amon lost his… How long will this go on?' She whispered to herself, not noticing she was silently crying. She just looked at the screaming little girl who thrashed and kicked at the agents until one of them knocked her out and threw her into the van. Robin turned to see who the person that Zazien was talking to and almost choked on her own words 'A-amon!' she choked out. How could he have been there? 'Robin reached out to touch him but her hand went right through him.
Suddenly he burst into flames causing Robin to scream out his name. He didn't respond, he just took out his gun and trained it on her, standing there as if nothing happened. His face was more lifeless then his usual tone and he looked empty. Robin couldn't move, she looked into his eyes but they looked like they were pleading for her to run but she couldn't tare herself away. Either she couldn't move or she her body refused to co-operate with her.
"Amon , please." She pleaded as he slowly started to pull the trigger. ' This is all just a bad dream, it's just a bad dream Robin wake up your dreaming!' She chanted over and over again in her head, but it wasn't her voice, it was…Amon's?
She crumpled to the floor holding her head, a pained expression on her face. It felt like she was being frozen from the inside slowly, all the images of Kira's mother being shot slowly turned into Amon's mother being shot over and over again until her body was shredded, she could feel the pain and anger, she could here the screams of Amon and his mother, she didn't want to feel it anymore she wanted to get away from it all. It felt as if she was going numb from her insides "Amon don't leave me..im scared please don't leave!" she pleaded softly. He was there the whole time but now she felt his presence starting fade "Amon!"
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just so much that time cannot erase…….
"Amon!" Robin screamed as she bolted up in bed in a cold sweat , freezing and breathing heavily. She still felt numb and thought she would pass out at any moment, she felt so incredibly cold. But she herd sobs coming from Kira's Room and stumbled out of bed knowing she would find out about the dream there. Kira was in the same state as Robin minus the freezing and was glowing with the same blue aurora. She was sobbing and wiping at her eyes.
"She saw it all.. She's the Eve of witches, I-I couldn't control my powers, she just, she just, she was in my dream and I lost control of what was going on I, I'm sorry, I just wanted to be alone …"
Amon turned his attention from the traumatized girl sitting on her bed to see Robin slumped against the door way, clinging to the side of the door to keep her self up and shivering. "Kira it's not your fault." Murmured Robin before she passed out. Amon raced over to Robin's side and caught her before she hit the floor and called for Nagira.
He took this chance to glance down at her soft face again, examining every feature of her creamy skin and how the thin wisps of hair that escaped her handle bar styled hair curved and danced along her face. He wanted to so badly to touch her soft peachy lips but was interrupted by the sounds of his brother approaching, instead he brushed the hair out of her face and felt her fore head making it seem like he was just checking for a fever, seeing as his brother stumbled into the room. He then mentally kicked him self for allowing himself to drift into such unimportant thoughts. 'holy fuck Amon can u be any more perverted! I'm such a freaking pedophile!-- pull your self together!' He said to himself.
"What just happened?" Said a half asleep Nagira. But before anything could be said Kira ran out the door. "HEY! Come back here!" Nagira yelled running after her.
"Don't come any closer! You'll just get hurt! It's all my fault! It's all my fault!" Kira Sobbed as she crumpled to the floor breathing heavily in front of the front door. Nagira sat down beside her. "You gonna tell me what happened back there kiddo?" He said pulling out a cigarette and lighting it.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
When you scream I fight away all of your fears,
I held your hand through all of these years,
You still have, all of me…..
"I'm sorry.." She cried. "I miss her..I miss my mom." She said slowly moving her hands away from her eyes, revealing blue glowing eyes.
"It's not your fault. You just lost control of your powers. Mind tellin me what they are?" Nagira asked calmly trying not to look shocked that her eyes were glowing.
"It's not just my powers. I can feel her, my mother; she's still with me... when I'm scared or being attacked It's like I give off this wave of fear and I guess it makes the other person scared and they either try to run away or they just go into this state of utter shock and fear." She whispered through tears. "But before the person can get away or do anything they freeze to death, and I almost did it to Robin. She was in my dream and then I could all of a sudden feel her fears and I, Reacted without thinking.. It just happened. But the scary part is, It scares me too, I am my greatest fear."
You used to captivate me by your resonating light,
Now I'm bound by all the life you left behind,
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams,
Your voice it chased away, all the sanity in me,
These wounds won't seem to heal,
This pain is just to real,
There's just so much that time cannot erase,
Amon carried Robin over to her room, wrapped a blanket around her and then put the bed covers on her. "Amon. " She murmured starting to stir a little,
"Go to sleep Robin, Kira will be fine. We will figure this out in the morning." He said in a cold tone and started to get up but was stopped by a soft, pale hand clinging to the bottom his unbuttoned shirt. He stiffened a bit at the sudden contact but then relaxed slightly. "Amon, stay with me please. I'm..Afriad." She murmured, softly pulling him down onto the bed beside her. "Robin, I-."
"Please Amon." She said before slowly shutting her eyes. ' Nagira I hope you know what your doing'. Hethought. Then gave a sigh and started to relax a little more. He noticed she was shivering violently and hesitantly wrapped his arms around her tightly and shut his eyes, falling into a light sleep. "Amon.." Whispered Robin, as she curled up to him under the covers in her sleep.
When you'd cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream I fight away all of your fears,
I held your hand through all of these years,
You still have, all of me,
I tried so hard to tell my self that you're gone,
And though you're still with me,
I've been alone all along…….
Nagira took a moment to let everything she said fall into place and then spoke. "So if you don't let all of the fear and tension out then well, you could freeze yourself to death?" He said in a confused voice.
"Well I think so I'm not sure."
"But then how come Robin didn't freeze and you didn't either?"
"She almost burnt me without even knowing it I think, I take it she has to power to use fire?"
"Yeah." He said, letting silence take over for a second.
" Nagira..?" Asked Kira .
"What is it kiddo?" said Nagira taking another puff of his cigarette. "I'm sorry about what happened, were you there when the factory fell?" She questioned out of the blue. "Yeah ,why?"
"Well, I was wondering if you saw anyone named Nauto around before it collapsed." She said while looking at her feet. The glow in her eyes was gone now and so was the aurora.
"Nope, who's Nauto your boyfriend?" He said jokingly.
"No…just a close friend." She murmured sadly, then got up and started to head towards her bedroom door.
"You gonna to be alright?" Said Nagira.
"Yeah, I guess. See you in the morning." She said closing the door behind her and moving over the window to gaze at the moon. 'Nauto please still be here with me, ill find you soon. I promise.'
When you'd cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream I fight away all of your fears,
I held your hand through all of these years,
You still have, all of me……..
