"Perfectly. I have a marvelous idea." came the calculating voice over the phone.
"Beautiful." Alec smirked hanging up the phone.
"So, I was thinking about this running idea and decided just going to the airport was ridiculous, I don't know what in the hell I was thinking." Nagira said, leaning back in a chair. "Yeah, so, here's what's what, I'm going to call around and get something going, it shouldn't take too long, I already have an idea and..."
"What's your idea?" Amon asked, not wanting to waste any time. The calm that had settled in his heart evaporated as he remembered he had no time for romance, he needed to get his head back in the right place and concentrate on Robin's safety first. He trusted his brother but he couldn't operate blindly, he needed something.
"I have a friend that helps witches too, not as good as me of course." Nagira winked at Robin at this, making her giggle. "I can call him and get something set up through him. Otherwise, we have no where to go, we'd just be jumping on a plane and taking off without anything planned. Now that we're calm and settled in somewhere we can think straight."
Amon nodded, he had to agree, his mind was clearer than it had been when first hearing Nagira's idea to go to the airport...he hadn't even asked where they were going to go but now that he had time to think, he realized how ridiculous and rash it was. He sat himself down in a chair across the table from Nagira and let his brother weave another of his shady webs, wishing everything had been set up before this. He knew it was a dumb thought, there was no way they could have anticipated a group of hunters trying to eliminate them without orders but he wanted to get on the move. Nagira's voice in the background was muffled, his mind was drifting away having nothing it wanted to chew on at the moment...
"And, we're set!" Nagira said sometime later, drawing Amon out of his lack of thoughts.
"What?" Amon asked in an uncharacteristic manner...it wasn't really the manner in which he asked but more that he had in the first place. Wasn't he listening?
"Eh, I have everything set up..." Nagira said giving Amon a strange look.
"Well?" Amon asked impatiently.
Shaking his head Nagira explained that he had contacted a friend who told him of someone that could help them. His contact told him that a man by the name of James in the United States could hide them. After getting his number and basic information, he was 36 and helped witches much in the same way Nagira did even though he didn't have a craft either, he called and set up a flight. At this, Amon gave Nagira a skeptical look.
"You set all of this up already? How did you manage it?"
"I told you I had an idea that wouldn't take long. How long did you think it would take? This guy knows the trouble we're in and they don't exactly take their sweet time with even regular witches." Nagira explained simply.
"Alright, so when do we leave?"
"Tomorrow morning, pack up lil bro, we're going to the Big Apple!" Nagira said, taking out a cigarette, lighting it up, and taking a puff.
By nine that night they had everything they had taken out of their bags packed back up and by the door. Robin was a bit nervous, she had never been to America and New York was a big, new city...could she get by? Looking over at Amon who had sat himself back down in his chair at the table, she smiled to herself. She'd be just fine...as long as she had him...and Nagira was a big help as well. She looked to him next and saw that he was sitting on the edge of his bed watching TV, obviously happy enough with their plans to remain calm. Still smiling, she got up and walked over to the door to her room and announced that she was going to bed.
"Hey, kid..."
Robin felt something nudge her side. She moaned and rolled over, away from the unknown object, too relaxed to wake up to see what it was.
"Hey, you have to get up..."
Another nudge. Damn it, what was poking her?
A chuckle and another nudge...wait, it wasn't a something, it was a someone. Rolling back over lazily, Robin caught sight of Nagira grinning at her, his index finger still extended as though he were going to poke her again.
"I'm up..." she replied, not wanting to get poked any more.
"Okay kid, we're leaving in an hour." And with that, he left. Looking over at the clock on the bedside table, she saw that it was 7:00 in the morning and got up, heading into the bathroom for a quick shower.
By the time she had finished Amon and Nagira were already at the door waiting for her. They had obviously gotten up eariler and started getting ready. Robin walked over to them and picked up her things as Amon and Nagira did the same. The walk to the car and the drive to the airport were uneventful, each just sitting in their seats as though they were simply taking a trip to New York for vacation even though it was far from a vacation.
Walking up to the desk, Nagira bought three tickets and they made their way towards the plane. They didn't have to wait long before the loading of the plane began, all three walking through the terminal. Robin accidentally bumped into a woman on her way through trying to keep up with Amon and Nagira's long strides, apologizing on the way, the woman nodding and telling her it was okay. Amon sat with Robin, a given Nagira thought, allowing her to take the window seat. Nagira sat in the seat across the aisle from Amon's, smirking to himself over how protective Amon was.
The plane ride, much like the car ride was uneventful. Robin went to sleep, bored and relaxed by the plane, only to wake back up when Amon gently shook her awake as the plane touched down. They all three filed out of the plane and made their way towards their luggage, waiting for it to come around, before heading out and catching a cab. As they all sat in the back seat, each were thinking of "James", the man that was to help them. None of them, oddly, had thought much of him until just then...just then they all realized they were heading off to meet a man they have never met before in a city none of them had ever been in before. Amon tensed a bit, mentally readying himself for anything that could go wrong, Nagira thought hard of what was said during his phone calls trying to grasp something that might make him feel better, and Robin chewed on her bottom lip a little, looking to Amon and Nagira for a sign of reassurance. Feeling her gaze, he turned his head to look at her and forced his face into an expression that would calm her nerves knowing that was what she was looking for. Seeing what she had wanted to see, she stopped chewing on her lip and looked out of the window, letting Amon to go back into the frame of mind he was in before.
I hope I didn't forget anything or mess anything up...I'm in kind of a rush. My Dad wants the internet so I'm rushing to put my new chapters up. Hope you like it, please read and review. -Smiles-
