If you ran to the end of the earth
I would catch you
And you would be safe
If you fell down a well
I would bring you a rope
And take all of the pain
All the pain, all the pain
That you hide from me everydayRobin ran through the snow and dark alleys to… somewhere. How can life be so cruel that you would run away from the one thing that you love the most? But she was absolutely sure she was doing Amon a favor. She felt a burden to him ever since the collapse of the factory. He had no life with her. She was holding him back from escaping this hellhole they were living in. But now he wouldn't have to take care of her as well, he would only have to worry about himself now.
Robin stopped running for a moment and leaned against a cold alley wall. Bent over and panting, she tried to regain her breath. How long would she have to run? Was Amon still chasing her or did he just give up and forget about her? But Amon would never quit. It didn't matter what he was doing or who he was chasing, giving up was never an option.
If you're missing I will run away
I will build a path to you
If you're missing I will run away
Cause I find myself in you
"Robin?"
Robin immediately stiffened at the familiar deep voice. In seconds, she was running again. Running as fast as her legs could take her. The buildings sped past her into a white-blanketed park. The trees were dead and bare and ice layered everything. The only moving thing in sight was the rushing river under a frozen, stone bridge. Robin looked around. If she turned around, she would go back into the labyrinth of the city streets, but she didn't know what lay beyond that icy bridge.
If I woke up alone
I won't stop till I find you
And you are with me
Cause by now
I know you better than you know yourself
And I know what you really need
What you need, or I need
But either way this is where you should be
Here with me, or I'll bleed
So much that you won't believe
"Robin?"
Robin decided immediately and headed for the bridge. The snow crunched under her boots as the bridge came closer and closer. The moment she stepped onto the bridge she felt something was wrong, but she kept running. And suddenly, in one horrifying moment, she slipped.
If you're missing I will run away
I will build a path to you
If you're missing I will run away
Cause I find myself in you
Her body crashed against the stone sides of the bridges and tumbled over. It was like a blurry moment in slow motion. Tears stung her eyes as gravity pulled her down. Robin knew that in a moment the bitter cold water would quickly wipe all heat from her body. She closed her eyes and saw only one thing…
You better not, you better not run
You better not, you better not run
Grey slate eyes that bore into her soul, raven hair… All those things she was running away from. And now, she couldn't run back.
If you're missing I will run away
I will build a path to you
If you're missing I will run away
I will find you
And so the moment came. The bone-shattering crash into the water and the sting of a thousand burning needles penetrated her skin. She felt her world darken and everything was slipping away. She lost feeling in her fingers and feet; her whole body was going numb. And then…
A pair of strong arms wrapped around her fading form and she was floating up. In the darkness, she was able to breath again and she could feel sold ground beneath her. But still, the shadow was covering her in its cold emptiness. Everything was gone for a sickening moment. There was no feeling, no darkness, nothing.
I will find you"Robin!" A voice resounded in the abyss she had fallen into. "Robin!" In a flash, everything came flooding back: the dazzling glimmer of the snow, the thundering sound of rushing water, and the man leaning over her with a terribly worried look on his face.
"Robin!" He held her face in his hands in looked her in the eye. His voice burst with emotion. "Robin, what the hell were you thinking?" He pulled her to his chest and wrapped his arms around her. She was violently shivering and he put her at arms length to look at her face again. "What were you doing?" He almost shouted at her. Robin eyes were already flooding with tears and she fell into his chest and wrapped her quaking arms around him.
"I'm sorry, Amon! Oh God, I'm so sorry!" she sobbed into his wet jacket. "I just thought that you…" She choked. "That you…" She shook in his embrace and wept. "Amon, you would do better without me!"
"What?"
"I'm holding you back. You're trapped with me, Amon!" Amon pulled away from her and stared at her with such intensity that she wanted to look away, or jump back into the raging river.
"Robin." He spoke in a dreadfully serious tone. She turned away to escape this moment of extreme tension. "Robin."
He pulled her to him and their lips met. Robin almost melted. This is what she was running away from, right? But how could she? There was no way she could live without him. This is all she ever wanted.
They pulled apart and Amon stared at her.
"I'd be trapped without you."
I will find you
