Revelations



Amon

I cannot believe what I had almost done. I still think about it, second after second, minute after minute and still I cannot understand what happened, why I almost did what I did. It had almost seemed like someone else was there and not me. But that's not true. It was me.

I was not in control. I lost control and that scared me.

Her.... I saw something in her eyes.... When I almost kissed her. It was as if she wanted it as much as I did.

Does she feel that way about me? Like what I feel about her?



Things at the apartment weren't too good after the "incident". The tension was very thick. Dinner was held in silence, though that didn't make much of a difference since it was always in silence.

Robin decided moved around, numbed by the recent events.

What had happened? Was he toying with me? But why?

She decided to head to bed early, at least then she wouldn't have to face Amon. She quickly grabbed her pajamas and headed into the bathroom. She filled the bathtub and stripped. She stepped in and just sat back and relaxed.

She was so tired. So tired of life.... So tired of all these emotions that she had to deal with... She just wanted to scream, to shout, to burn everything around her, but that would be un-Robin-ish. She sighed. She was tired. Maybe she should close her eyes a bit.... That might help.... Yeah....

Robin's eyes slowly closed and she fell into a deep sleep.


Robin found herself in a place unknown to her. Everything around her was black. Black as the night. Black as a raven's feathers. Black as the darkness in everyone. Black. Robin couldn't see. She used her powers and created a ball of fire to light her way.

"Where am I?" she wondered out loud. She walked forward. The place seemed to start nowhere and ended nowhere. It was just one big blotch of darkness.

She squinted through the darkness, trying to make out what was in front of her. She saw a figure. She walked closer to it, being very careful; she did not know if the figure was friend or foe.

To her surprise, the figure turned out to be the exact copy of her. It looked exactly like Robin.

How is that possible? She thought.

"Who are you?" Robin asked.

"I am you. I am the Eve of Witches. I am the Fire. I am the Earth. I am the Wind. I am Robin. I am all, and all is I." the duplicate replied.

"How is that possible? Where are we?"

"We are in the Darkness. Where everything begins. In the Darkness, where life is created. We are here. It is time Robin."

"Time for what?"

"Time for you to know all. Time for you to know your Destiny. Time for you to know your Past. Time to decide your Future. Time," the Eve said. "Come. Follow me. I will show you everything. It is time." The Eve of Witches started walking and Robin had no choice but to follow.

The blackness began to fade as they walked and they found themselves standing in the air, looking at the scene below them. Below was Stonehenge. And within the ring of standing stones stood what Robin knew to be witches of both male and female. They stood in the circle, with a hooded person standing in the very middle.

She watched with interest as each witch present walked up to the person in the middle and summoned forth their power. Somehow, instead of being attacked by the other witches powers, the one in the middle seemed to be absorbing them, the powers entering into the middle witches body.

"As you know, three hundred and twenty years ago, the coven sank into the darkness. The coven disappeared," the Eve said.

Robin nodded.

"At that time, witches were feared. They were hunted, like today, though the methods are different.

"People feared these witches because the witches powers were the unknown, and people are afraid. Fear makes people kill witches, even if they were their own young.

"These people thought that all witches were evil. But like the humans, there were good and bad witches. However most witches had decided to use their powers for good.

"They formed the coven. The coven made sure that everything in the world was peaceful, to the extent of their abilities.

"You see, people once thought and still think that witches are evil. They think that they were a freak of nature and not one of God's creations. But they were wrong. God created man first. He created them, giving them the will to think. He created them thinking that they will lead a good and peaceful life. But God soon found out that these men that He had created could not truly, wholly survive in this world and that the men he had created would become corrupted. So He created witches. He created witches and gave them each a different world to protect the world and humankind. He gave them the will to think. But like men, some witches became corrupted through power, though most remembered their duty.

"The coven were made of the witches who remembered there duty. Though they knew they were under-appreciated, they continued to help the world. In those times, witches understood their power, they understood how to control their powers and witches would help each other with their powers.

"But the coven knew that one day, no matter what, their coven would sink into the Darkness, from where it came. However, they knew that some witches would survive. They knew that one day the coven would be reborn and that the world would finally come to understand witches. They knew that one day the Eve of Witches would come and with the help of the Adam of Witches, they would settle things between mankind and witches. But in the process the coven would have to sink and many lives, both human and witches would be killed in the process.

"The witches willingly sacrificed their lives. They knew what their duty was." The Eve motioned down to the scene below them.

"What you see down there are the witches of the coven, what is left of them, before the coven sank. They each gave up a bit of their power.

"You see, the two in the middle are the ones that are destined to create the lines of witches that would one day give birth to the Eve of Witches and the Adam of Witches. All the different witches powers will be passed down onto them, so that they may be able to use them.

"Do you know who those witches in the middle is?" The Eve asked. Robin shook her head.

"The shorter one is your great-great-great-great-grandmother, Robin Sena Da Vinci. The other is the great-great-great-grandmother of the Adam of Witches, the one who you call Amon."

Robin stood there shocked.

"I am the Eve? Amon.... Adam?" Robin stammered. The Eve nodded.

"You and Amon, you were destined to meet. You were destined to belong to one another. There is not denying that fate. Do not deny your emotions." The Eve of Witches cupped Robin's face gently.

"Amon will soon unlock the powers that had been granted to him. And you shall unlock those that you have not yet unlocked. You must help him, for he has been raised to hate those powers. You must help him from destroying himself. Help him.

"Come. There is more that you must learn."

The Eve started to walk and Robin followed. And like before, the scene changed slowly as they walked on into the Darkness.


Amon wiped the same spot on the counter for what must've been the hundredth time. He had volunteered to do the dishes tonight, giving Robin time to have a moment of privacy.

He payed no attention to his actions. For the past hour he stood there washing the dishes and cleaning the counter off. It was all so repetitive.

Memories of what he had done kept flashing by in his head, moment after moment, minute after minute, playing those memories like a broken tape.

Why did I nearly kiss her? It was so close. He sighed. Snapping out of his thoughts for a moment, Amon realized that the counter was neat and that he no longer needed to wipe it.

He put the rag back in its spot and headed towards the bed, turned on the tv and began flipping through the channels, not really paying attention to what he was doing.

Minutes passed by, and Amon stared at the screen. Well not really the screen, more like into space.

For who knows how long, Amon just stared into space. Finally he snapped out his trance and looked at his watch. He frowned. Robin had been in the bathroom for over two hours. Something was wrong.

His heart pounded. What if she.... No. Maybe.... He was worried. Robin wouldn't take that long of a bath.... And he certainly hadn't heard any sound coming from the bathroom.

What was going on? Did Robin try to... kill herself?

Amon jumped up. Ignoring all the warnings in his head that Robin might be ok and if she found him in the bathroom while she was in the tub, naked.... He barged into the bathroom and found Robin lying in the bathtub, not moving and.... not breathing?

Amon's heart was going millions of heartbeats per minute. He ran up to the tub and felt for a pulse. There was none. The water was freezing cold.

Robin's... dead. He couldn't believe it. This wasn't right. He was blinded. He saw nothing but rage and pain. He never got to tell her how he felt and now....

Amon let out an unhumanly howl of grief. He was oblivious to everything but him, his pain, and the pulse-less body of Robin's.

Blinded by his rage and sorrow, he did not realize what was going on. His powers were awakening.


The Eve had just finished showing Robin everything. She had finished telling Robin everything.

"It is time Robin. You must go now. You must wake. Amon's powers have awakened. You must help him before he destroys you and himself. Then hope will be lost."

Robin nodded. She had finally found the peace she sought for. The answers that she had wanted. Now she knew what was going on. She understood.

"Will I ever have a chance to talk to you again?" Robin asked.

The Eve smiled and nodded. "Of course. I am a part of you. When you sleep, I will be there. You and I are and have always been one."

The Eve closed her eyes and walked closer to Robin. She touched Robin's face and then in a ball of light was sucked back into Robin's body.


Robin woke up. She felt hot. Her pulse started going back again. She realized that the water was heating up and if she didn't get out, she would boil. It must've been one of Amon's new found powers.

"Amon!" she yelled. "Stop Amon! Or you'll destroy us all!" Amon did not hear her. He was still oblivious to all.

He wouldn't listen to her. He couldn't hear her. So she did the first thing that came to her head.

She kissed him.


Another cliffie! Teehee! I know, I know, I am evil. But don't worry, I'm working on the next chapter already! Sorry for the late update, by the way.

I would just like people to know that in Chapter Six, I put two different titles. One of them was Heartbreak and the other was Heartbeat. The correct title is Heartbeat.



Wow! There are so many reviewers! Thanks to the following:

Sakura-Chan79: Thanks. You don't know how much that compliment really meant to me!

Yuna of Paradise: Thanks for you compliments. I did sort of ignore your e-mail. I've gotten a million of those and did my wish ever come true? No! LOL.

Lara1786: Teehee. The Go Fish part was just a spur of the moment thing. I liked it. LOL

Sakura Blossom-Cilla-85:P: LOL. Can you imagine one of those arcade games where you whack the crocodiles or ground hogs? Well, instead of crocodiles or ground hogs, imagine little Amon head popping out. And then you whack them with a mallet. I can see that. LOL

Amon's Angel of Darkness: Well, to tell you the truth, I've never actually seen all the episodes. Currently, I just finished watching the episode called Simple-Mind. And the only reason why I know what happens later on is because I read too many spoilers. Also as for the counter and stove thing. Well imagine the kitchenette shaped as the letter E without the middle horizontal line. The top horizontal line is the stove, and the bottom horizontal line is the fridge. Then the vertical line is the counter. The stove and fridge are facing each other. Does that help a bit?

NeoTokyo-sailor: Thanks. But all my chapter stories aren't as good as these. I do like my one shots though, except for the Sailor Moon one. That one was way to corny for my taste.

Seashah: Thanks. I do try to write my stories with good grammar, spelling, etc. That's a really nice review! Truth be told though, I can't stand typing things like you would in an IM conversation. You know, where you put the letter u instead of you, etc. In fact, I don't even do that in IM conversations. Doing that annoys me. LOL.

Vanyaer: Ooh! I'm loved! I feel loved. LOL.

Raine84: Well, I'm pretty sure you realized it before the end of the chapter. I think I kind of gave it away with the summary. But hey, that's ok!

JadeGoddess: Well, read on. Maybe you'll find out sooner or later.

Hunter-Robin: Yea! I was lucky. I got it back on the same day.

Koharu-Soma: Well, it was a near kiss. Amon paused half way there. The baka.

Auburn: Um.... I'm truly sorry, but I reread your review for God knows how many times and I still don't understand what you want/telling me. And that last part you wrote. Please say I wrote the Witch Hunter Robin story. I don't get that part. What Witch Hunter Robin story? Definitely not this one. This one was written by me. Sorry that I don't get what you're trying to say.

Galadflower: There you go. I gave you some more.

Danyu: Yes, it is. But Amon not showing emotions is what makes him such a wonderful bishie!

Kohanu: Thanks.

Ami4: Thanks. Yeah, I love these two too. I just started watching the show too. I only get to watch one episode per week. Stupid YTV.

Jade27: LOL. Don't worry. I won't forget this story. I don't think it will let me forget it because my mind just keeps wandering back to it. So don't worry.

Thank you so much people for reviewing!
