Robin was again left alone. Something she didn't want; something she was afraid of.
She walked through an unfamiliar building, her fingers tracing the walls. She looked around and sighed, biting her lip. "Amon?" She called, hoping he would answer. But, none came. Nothing but pure silence. "Amon?" She yelled again, walking a little faster through the corridor.
Someone stepped behind her and she paused. "…Amon?" She whispered, turning around. She gave a sigh of relief, seeing that it was him. "Amon," she said. "..Thank God its you."
She hugged him, but noticed something different. He was standing still, his eyes fixated on one spot. His body was cold and stiff, not moving even an inch. Her heartbeat raced as the voice came again.
"Trick or treat!" The voice laughed as Amon's body fell on Robin.
"No!" She screamed, pushing Amon off of her and running through the halls.
"You can't run anymore! You can't hide! I will find you; you will die!" That voice sang, making the tears run from Robin's eyes.
Her heartbeat was rapid, pounding out of her chest. She ran faster and faster, but it seemed as if the hall was growing longer and longer. She couldn't get away.
"No!" She yelled, running even faster. Flames were visible in her eyes as she turned around, sending the flames of fury and fear towards the voice. Her surroundings burst into flames.
But, the voice continued to laugh. "No!" She screamed again, falling to the ground. She looked around, her body trembling with fear.
"Trick or treat.. Smell my feet. Give me something good to eat! You can't run! You can't hide. I will find you, you will die!" The voice sang, echoing and getting closer and closer by the second.
Robin closed her eyes, and held herself curled up into a small ball. "Please! Leave me alone!"
"Oh, I love when you beg. It's so cute." He laughed as he appeared in front of her. His eyes were glowing as his lips curled into a bright smile. "..I've waited so long to really taste you, Robin."
He took a step towards her and she tightened her eyes shut. "Don't touch me!" She screamed, another burst of fire exploded. "Leave me alone!"
He laughed. "I can never leave you alone. You're mine now. I own you. I will always have you, and I will always be here." He laughed maniacally.
Miho walked back into the room and looked over to Robin. She was breathing heavily, her heart rate up. She ran over to her; she thought she knew what was happening. "Robin! Wake up, wake up.. Robin!" She grabbed her, shaking her slightly. "Wake up, Robin!"
"It doesn't matter what you do. Send those bastards to kill me, or.. cast me out of your dreams. It doesn't matter what you do, because I will always be with you. You won't escape me. You can't."
"Robin!" Miho yelled, shaking her a bit harder this time. Robin's eyes fluttered as she took in a deep breath. "Robin!" Miho yelled, hugging her tightly and swiping the sweat from Robin's brow.
Robin's eyes were wide and distant, filled with fear and pain. Her body was trembling, her complexion seemed to pale a million times more. Miho held her tightly, rocking back and forth to comfort Robin, and herself. Her breathing was shaky and shallow. "..R-Robin. A-are you okay?" She asked, backing away and looking into her eyes.
Robin just blinked, as if caught in some other kind of world; caught in a state of stupor. She stared off into space, her body moving very little.
"Robin!" She shook her again. She was awake, but she wasn't.. Was she still caught in the dream? "Dammit!" She held her tightly in her arms. "Wake up.. Please, Robin? If you can hear me, please wake up."
Robin stayed still, her head falling over Miho's arm. Miho sighed, tears running down her cheeks. She placed Robin's head on the pillow and looked over to the heart monitor. Her heart rate had returned to normal, maybe… Maybe she was okay, now.
I can't get away from him.. Robin thought. I want to get away! I need to get away.
Miho wiped away her tears and stepped back from the bed, walking out of the room for a moment, telling Doujima to stay in the room with her. Amon was coming soon. She needed to meet him and Sakaki.
Sakaki watched as Amon pulled into the parking lot and parked just adjacent to him. He sighed, seeing the expression on his face. He was angry, too. But, he knew it was nowhere near the rage that Amon had felt, nor the fear.
Amon slammed the car door shut and put his hands in his jacket pockets. He tried to keep his emotions somewhat under control, but he could barely. Tears were threatening to fall, and that scream was creeping up his throat with every heartbeat. He closed his eyes and walked into the hospital with Sakaki.
He kept his head down, his dark brown hair falling into his face. He didn't want them to see it. No, he had to be strong now. He clenched his fists and walked by Miho, not even saying a word to her. He wanted to see Robin. He needed to.
He walked into the room and slowly opened his eyes. "Ro-Robin?" He ran to the bed. She was nowhere to be found. He looked over to Doujima who was sleeping on one of the chairs across from the bed. "Doujima! Where is she?"
Doujima opened her eyes wearily. "Huh?" She rubbed her eyes and looked to the bed. "Oh My God. I don't know! I'm sorry, Amon! I don't know where she is!" Doujima threw herself up and ran into the hallway.
"Robin?" She called.
Amon closed his eyes. "Goddammit!" He yelled as he walked out of the room. He looked to Doujima, Miho, and Sakaki. "Find her. She couldn't have gotten far."
She walked along the hallways silently and cautiously, looking for anyone who might stop her. I want it to end, she thought to herself. I can't take it anymore. Her eyes weld up with tears as she thought about what she was thinking about doing. She had to; it was her only way out. She didn't want any more pain, she didn't want any more crying; she didn't want to suffer for the rest of her life.
Her hair fell into her face as she walked into the empty elevator and leaned against the wall, holding herself. Tears rushed down her cheeks. The rest of them probably seen that she wasn't there anymore, probably looking for her already. She looked up and gasped, seeing Miho running for the elevator.
She bit her lip and stepped back, watching the doors close on her quickly. "Don't stop me.." She whispered. "No.. Please."
Miho hit the elevator button a few times. "Dammit!" She grabbed out her cell phone and stepped back, watching where the elevator was going. Her eyes widened. "Amon, I found her." She told him. "Sh-she's on the elevator. I think she's on the roof."
Amon slapped the cell phone shut and kicked the door open, running up the stairs as fast as he possibly could. Many thoughts were racing through his head. What was she doing? The lump in his throat grew tremendously. He gripped the railings and threw himself up the stairs, hoping to get there faster.
He passed by the elevator just as Miho rushed out of the doors. Sweat was running down his temple. 'Please don't let us be too late.' He thought.
Robin stepped over to the edge of the building and looked over the city. Many lights were sparkling in the darkness of the night. The wind was harsh up here, sending her hair all over and into her eyes. The white hospital gown was rippling in the wind. She looked down to the ground below. It was so high; maybe she would have a few moments peace before Death. Maybe, for once in her whole life, she would have a time of true, pure peace.
She sighed. She could think of no other way to end this. She couldn't think of another way to end the pain, she couldn't think of another way to stop him. He would always be there, he would never let her escape unless… Unless this happened… She closed her eyes, hearing footsteps behind her. "I'm sorry, Amon."
"No! Robin! Please?" There was desperation in Amon's voice. He stepped closer, but was afraid to get any where near her. "Please?"
"Just one more step…" Robin whispered. Tears were rushing down her cheeks. "I'm sorry, Amon. I am sorry, Miho." She turned to look at the both of them. "I-I can't escape him. This is the only way out."
"No," Miho said. "We can help you. Please?"
"Robin." Amon stepped closer. "I love you, please? Step down from there and come here.."
Robin looked to his eyes and let out a shaky breath. She saw the images of her dreams again.
"I love you.. Amon. I don't want you getting hurt. I don't want any of you getting hurt. I can't take the pain anymore. You can't help me! He won't let me go! He won't leave me alone! Don't you see, Amon? This is my only escape." Her body was trembling. "I don't.. want to… live anymore." Tears rushed down her cheeks as she raised her arms from her side.
"NO!" Amon screamed racing for her.
"Goodbye, Amon…" She whispered, closing her eyes as she took the step from the ledge.
Her hair was rippling behind her. She couldn't hear any screams, she couldn't hear any cries; she couldn't hear any car horns, she couldn't hear any voices. She felt like she had wings. The wind rushing through her body, caressing her skin wiping the tears falling from her eyes away from her cheeks. This was peace. "Goodbye… Amon. I'll love you forever." She whispered.
