Robin
Amon spoke of a wedding.... Does the mean that he truly wants to marry me? But I am.... I have so many insecurities. So much has been placed on my shoulders recently. Sometimes, I don't know what to expect.
But then... Amon is there and him.... I can count on. But much can happen in three years.... I pray that things will be well in the end.
There were only a few more days before they were released from the apartment where so many events had passed.
The last few weeks passed pretty much uneventfully. However, there were still many things to settle, concerning their crafts. The rest of Robin's craft had still not appeared yet and they were slightly worried that it would appear when they were released.
A few nights after Christmas, Robin decided that she would consult the Eve once more.
Robin blinked a few times, adjusting to the darkness. It did not take her long though. Soon, the Eve appeared. Though Robin had visited her many times, it still felt odd talking to oneself, face to face.
"Hello Robin. You wish to ask me about your locked powers?" the Eve said. Robin nodded.
"I do not know how you can unlock your powers, but I can tell you - show you the one's you have yet to unlock."
The darkness faded away to reveal the scene at Stonehenge once more.
"That night, twelve witches were gathered there. Amongst them, two of them were your great-great-great-grandmother and that of Amon.
"Look carefully as each of them sacrificed a bit of their power. Can you tell what power each of them has?"
Robin watched as each witch walked up to the two in the middle. Her eyes widen as she recognized some.
The Eve named all of the witches that came up to Robin's great-grandmother and their abilities.
"Marie St-Pierre, the ability to manipulate water.
"Jean Vachère, the ability to manipulate lightning and thunder.
"Louise Gryffin, she has the ability to control the earth and things that grow from the earth.
"Eleanor Alton, the ability to possess control of the mind for a small period of time.
"And Philip Williams, with the ability to manipulate metal.
"Your great-great-great-grandmother, herself, possessed the ability to manipulate Fire, like yours."
Silence reigned for a moment, as Robin watched the witches finish the ceremony.
"And you already know all the powers that Amon has. He has unlocked all six of his," the Eve remarked.
"The ability to manipulate wind, the ability to pause time for a while, the ability to control the temperature, the ability to create shadow puppets, telekinesis and the ability to teleport things," Robin listed off.
Robin seemed worried. Why was she unable to unlock hers, whereas Amon had unlocked all of his?
"Do not worry Robin. Your powers are very powerful, they will not be as easy to unlock as Amon's powers. One thing is for certain though. Your powers will awaken when they are needed."
It was the day before they were finally released. Robin wondered if Sakaki, Karasuma or Doujima would come to unlock the door personally. What she wondered even more, is what Amon would do to them once they were released. She smiled at the thought.
Though the past couple of weeks had been very eventful, she was happy for all the time she got to spend with Amon, especially over the last week.
They had made sure that they would enjoy it as much as possible since they didn't know when the next time they could be together would be.
It was during their lunch when the phone call came. Robin was startled. However, Amon wordlessly got up from the table and headed over to where the cell phone was.
"Hello," he said.
"Hey Amon." It was Michael. "I just wanted to let you know what's going on tomorrow.
"Tomorrow, at four, the doors will unlock automatically. Your car is exactly where you left it. And one more thing, you might want to bring your stuff with you too. Bye."
The phone clicked on the other side. Amon turned the cell phone off.
"Who was it?" Robin asked, curious.
"Michael."
"What did he want?"
"He was just telling us when we will be let out tomorrow and to bring our stuff with us."
"Oh."
Silence.
"Amon?"
"Yes?"
"What are we going to do about what's happened between us once we're released?"
"We're going to pretend nothing has changed," Amon answered. Robin nodded. She knew that it was going to be like that, but deep down she hoped that maybe they could keep things the way they were right now.
Amon sighed.
"Robin. I don't trust Zaizen. Already he is suspicious about your powers. Let's not draw any more suspicion to you.
"I've been working for STN-J for a long time. I've had many witches for a partner and each one of them had been either hunted or involved in an accident when their powers started to grow stronger. I know for sure that Zaizen was the one who ordered the hunts and as for the accidents, I am pretty sure that Zaizen had something to do with those.
"But until now, I have never questioned Zaizen's orders, or what goes on at the factory. But now, I'm starting to get suspicious about a couple of things.
"The best thing we can do, while we sort out the problem with the Coven, is to try to stay out of Zaizen's suspicions as best as we can. I'll help as much I can."
Silence again.
"When this is all sorted out Robin.... You can move in with me, if you want."
Robin looked up, into Amon's eyes. And for a second time in less than twenty four hours, she was surprised. Slowly, the surprise melted into happiness.
She smiled, and nodded.
Ah! So sorry for the long wait for an update! My excuse this time: I was working on a new layout for my neglected graphics site. And I had to do homework and I spent most of my time playing mobRO (Ragnarok Online, the free version).
I got so many different reactions from you guys for the previous chapters. Some of you wanted a lemon and some people were relieved. LOL.
You know how I mentioned the marriage thing in the last chapter? How I put it at 18 when it's supposedly 16? Well, I wasn't really paying attention to that age thing, so let's just imagine it's 18, ok?
And the box set I was talking about, well, that might take a while before I get it, but I'm pretty sure I'm getting it. 0o
OMG! I saw Time to Say Goodbye like two weeks ago! It was so heartbreakingly beautiful! I swear though, they should've kissed. It was beautiful and I nearly cried. I am such a sentimental romantic, I tell you. LOL. Oh yeah.... I wonder why they changed the closing theme song for that episode from Half Pain to the guitar version of Shell.
I want to thank everybody who complimented on me and my story. You don't know just how much I appreciate your compliments. Thank you very much!
Inu-Cheval: I know, it was kind of scary. I bit different. Made him look vulnerable for one. But you know, I can't really imagine Zaizen forcing Amon down on the ground in the first place....
Cat/Wolf Witch Kyobi: Um... Let's just say sometime after the episode with Methuselah, but before Loaded Guns.
Witch Maeve: I can't sing the ending or opening perfectly. Well, I can sing half of Half Pain perfectly.
Witch Hunter Robin Fan 45: I don't write lemons because I'm still trying to keep my mind as innocent as possible, but listening to the boys conversations.... Well, let's just say their conversations taint one's mind.
Hiro-tyre: I'm sorry if you think my story is shoddy, and worse. However, no one told you to read my story. I mentioned Zaizen being Amon's father in chapter ten. You didn't have to read further on then.
