Parking away from them, along side of the road, Gabriel got up and slowly removed his helmet, placing it on his motorcycle. He then started walking slowly and confidently towards the car...
Inside, Amon got out his gun while Robin put her glasses on. Neither were really afraid, just cautious. They felt confident in themselves but they didn't know what this guy could do, nor did they know who he was. They, however, assumed that he was one of the "missing" Solomon hunters. Well, he wasn't missing anymore...
Getting out, keeping their eyes on the hunter, Amon coldly asked "Who are you? What do you want?" feeling he already knew the answer to the second question.
"Gabriel...not that it matters, I've come to hunt you." and with that, the wind picked up.
"His craft is wind." Robin said softly and yet strongly. Amon shot at Gabriel but to their surprise, a strong gust of wind appeared and blocked the bullet as though it were a wall. Robin then tried to set Gabriel on fire, trying to kill him rather than subdue him. Amon and Robin both understood that this situation did not warrant a capture.
Gabriel blocked Robin's fire so she threw more at him, harder and more determined to end it before anything could happen to either her or Amon. As he threw all he had at them, Robin threw everything she had at Gabriel. Seeing a chance to strike, Amon shot Gabriel in the leg, throwing his concentration off. The minute Gabriel looked down, Robin had him...nothing was left of him.
Looking at each other, neither felt particularly better about the battle having ended so easily. They figured he wasn't the last...They then quickly went back to the car and got in, not standing around to see if there were any more. Pulling out, Silence's presence was, again, felt.
Amon didn't know what to say...it was such a simple attack but that was confirmation that hunters were indeed after them. He didn't know what to do, for the first time since he was a child, he didn't know what to do. He wasn't afraid...he was worried. He had Robin with him so it wasn't just him running. No, it was him running to keep her safe, he was responsible for her now. He didn't know how many hunters were going to come after them, didn't know if Solomon would follow in and just give the order for their hunt...didn't know how strong they were. He then thought to call Nagira. Funny...he now ran to his older brother, going to him being the first thing he could think to do. He picked up his cell and dialed his number.
"We were just attacked."
"What? You just left not even an hour ago, how could you have been attacked?"
"Someone was following us, a hunter named Gabriel. I pulled over and he attacked. I need..."
"Is Robin okay? Are you?" Nagira interrupted.
"Yes, we're fine but I need..." Amon hesitated a bit before continuing on with his sentence, reluctant to ask for what he hadn't asked for in years. "...help. I need to find somewhere safe, we need to go into hiding so we can get things in order."
"Sure, go to a hotel and stay there, I can't come up with anything right now but I'll get right on it. Be careful." Nagira said.
"Yeah." Amon put his cell down and then concentrated on finding a hotel to stay at for the night, hoping Nagira could come up with something quick enough.
Two hours later and Gabriel hadn't called nor had he come back. "It shouldn't have taken that long...if they weren't there he would have come back or called. If he were following them he would have called by now as well..." Alec thought. Picking up the phone, he dialed Gabriel's cell number. He let it ring about six times before hanging up. He was dead. Alec knew it.
"Gabriel failed." He said emotionlessly to the others in the room.
"Maybe they're stronger than we thought." Catherine, the older female hunter stated rather than asked in a wise voice.
"No, Gabriel was foolish. He wasn't even gone for a whole day before he was eliminated. He was easy, foolish. We'll try again. Hart, you're up."
Yeah, I know, shortest yet but I'm kind of jumpy...there are certain parts I want to get to really badly. But, to do that, I had to get through Gabriel and then...well, we gotta keep going. That was meant to be an easy hunt because I have an idea of how I want to use three hunters in particular that will make things more interesting...one I'm just dieing to get to. -Smiles- Don't worry though, I'm not going to conduct the other hunts the same way...short and boring. He he...like I said, three...at least...I love so I can't wait. -Winks-
I'd also like to thank those who have been reading and reviewing my story, you guys keep me wanting to write more. Thanks, I appreciate it. -Smiles-
