The treat for this chapter is already finished which is nice for change, I can just send it to you. So with out further ado, I give you the next chapter of Daddy's Little Girl. Thanks for being patienct people. I owe you one. Q&A as usual.
But I remember
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer; sticking
little white flowers all up in her hair.
"You know how much I love you, Daddy, But if you
don't mind I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time."
With all that I've done wrong I must have done
something right to deserve her love every morning
and butterfly kisses at night.

LAST TIME
--------------------
At that moment a small blue kia roared into the gravel lot and behind the wheel was none other than Robin. Miho turned her phone off, cutting off Micheal. Amon's eyes widend and Nagira didn't know whether to burst out laughing or shit his pants.
"Amon." Robin said in her normally quiet voice but her face was a different story. She was mad.
Amon couldn't stop that lump forming in his throat and he definitly couldn't help but swallow it. Nagira smirked over at him.
"Nice knowing yah."

Chapter 8
"Can't Take Me"
By Sparky16
-------------------------
Amon remained calm, at least on the outside. On the inside he knew, for sure, that that Robin was going to toast him for this when they got home. She walked passed Nagira's car and side glanced her daughter. She gave the little one a small smile and Kanna's eyes widened in fear and she fell back into her seat. Amon was quick to comment on it. "You scared the baby."
"You're out and about after I told you to relax."
Amon just shrugged. Notably he noticed that Kanna's fear wasn't going away. He could still feel it. He had to switch the focus of the conversation. Robin looked like she wanted to murder him for not listening to her. Well, since she was here, "Did you get in touch with those contacts I gave you?" he asked, changing the topic.
Robin sighed and nodded.
"And?"
"Nothing we don't all ready know." Robin spoke. She looked at Miho then at Nagira who gave her a cheesy smile and a small wave. Robin returned it with a small awkward smile of her own then asked. "What about you?"
"Miho gave us some information on some possible others and that Lucifer is one of them." Amon said.
Robin's breath caught but it was not noticeable to anyone. "I see. Well then, I'm leaving cause I'm-" she paused for a moment before she turned and saw Kanna in the car looking at her in a dreadful manner, "I'm not done with the contacts yet. I'm having some trouble getting a hold of one so..."
"You want me to come?" Amon asked.
Robin shook her head "No, it's okay, I got it." Amon nodded. Robin wandered over to Nagira's car and opened up the passenger door to greet Kanna. "Hello love, why the eyes?" Robin asked her gently and reached out to touch her. Kanna screamed bloody murder. Amon came running over and looked. Kanna was screaming and Robin looked hurt. "Kanna what is it? It's just me," Robin tried to reassure.
Amon gently pulled Robin back so he could get at Kanna. The fear he felt from his daughter was astonishing but why did she fear Robin, her own mother for goodness sake? Amon retreated from the car with Robin under his arm. Once a little ways away, he turned her to him and spoke, "Listen. You check the last of the contacts, I'll deal with Kanna and when you pick her up later I'm sure she'll be fine."
"Yeah, sure, but Amon," Robin said. He looked at her evenly. "If I find you taking her out again while sneaking around my back to check contacts there will be hell to pay. Understood?"
"Understood," was all Amon said. Robin nodded and turned around before Amon could give a kiss or a hug to her, and she got back into her car and left.
Amon was left a little speechless at that. Robin seemed like she had run away. He couldn't have blamed her he supposed; Kanna had a strange reaction to her. But something really bothered him. How had she found him? She should've been on the other side of town. Secondly, there was her language. The day Robin would say Hell would be the day said place froze over. Amon summarized that he really was having a bad influence on her. He'd have to watch his language.
----------------------------------------
The blue Kia pulled up behind a little gray Honda a few blocks later once it was clear from the group. Robin stepped out of the car and walked over to a little gray car.
She reached into her coat pockets and withdrew the keys, opened it up, and got in. After closing the door, she reached up to her breast pocket and fiddled with something invisible there for a moment. Robin's image began to waver.
"Damn it..." the words escaped Lu's lips in a whisper.
------------------------------------------------
Amon walked back into the cabin with his daughter in toe. He retreated immediately to his bed, Kanna scurrying close behind. He sat down on the bed, placed the folder on the night tables then leaned over and picked Kanna up. He didn't sit her down however. Instead he held her up above his head so she was looking down at him as he threw his legs up on the bed and lied down.
"You going to join me for a nap?"
"No nap."
"Yes nap."
"No nap."
"How about 'you have no choice' nap"
"No nap."
"I'm arguing with a 2-year-old." he muttered and settled her down on his stomach.
"No nap," she whined softly. Amon just rubbed her back. She would be asleep soon. He thought back to when Robin had caught up with him earlier. How had she found him? Had she followed or heard word from somewhere or someone on where he was? He looked at Kanna watching as her eyes were closing. He also thought to why Kanna had acted the way she had when Robin showed up. He remembered that fear. He remembered that look of terror on her face from before. It had been the nearly the same at the farm.
He shook his head. He had been caught, fair enough. He now knew better than to underestimate Robin and her 'husband seeking' abilities. The only thing that was going to help his puzzled mind was a good long nap. He looked down at Kanna lying on his chest. She was fast asleep. Letting out a deep relaxing breath through his nose, he closing his eyes and leaned back into his pillow. Sleep didn't take long to grasp his wondering consciousness.
------------------------------------------
It was well past noon when Robin walked into the cabin looking tired and somewhat frustrated. A few of the contacts her husband had given her had been either no shows or didn't take her seriously. There were very, very few that had taken her seriously and given her information that, unfortunately, she all ready knew. The only thing she found out that was new was Lucifer's suppose craft. He was an Earth Craft user, and a very good one and could pose as anyone or thing.
Robin bent down the remove her shoes and noticed Amon's muddy boots sitting next to her. She smiled, so he had found his things and went for a walk which was fine by her. Removing her boots and stuffing her gloves in her pockets, Robin stepped into the small sitting room to find no one there.
"Amon, I'm back." She said. She looked around, there was no answer and the cabin was completely quiet. "Hello?" she asked. "Amon?" She started for Kanna's bedroom. No one. She went to her and Amon's bedroom and peeked in. A smile crept to her features at what she saw. Both Father and Daughter were curled up into each other fast asleep. Robin crept over to them and dropped a quick kiss on Amon's head before grabbing a throw at the end of the bed and gently placing it over the both of them.
At that moment Amon jolted awake and she paused. She smiled. "It's just me, you can go back to sleep," she whispered softly. Amon relaxed instantly and closed his eyes.
"How did you do?" he murmured, his voice and, no doubt, his mind sleep clogged.
Robin finished putting the throw over them and sighed. "I'm beginning to see why you hate people." Amon chuckled lightly. "No doubt." he answered and turned over slightly to see if his daughter was still with him. She was, and tightly latched onto his side to boot.
"Do you want me to take her?"
Amon simply shook his head. "No, she's fine."
As if on cue, Kanna let out a squeal and started panicking. Both parent's attention was drawn to her and the two year old began to cry.
"What was all that about?" Robin cooed as bent down to pick Kanna up. The toddler herself looked around, as though she didn't know where she was and her eyes seemed to beg the question 'where did you come from mommy?'
Kanna blinked and the sniffles and sobs stopped almost immediately as Robin held her in her arms, balancing Kanna on her hip.
"You okay now?" Robin asked. She looked towards Amon. "I'll take her now. You relax." Amon nodded and covered his eyes with his arm to resume his nap. Robin walked out of the room and closed the door gently behind her then went to the kitchen and set Kanna down on the bar top. She moved over to the sink and set about getting a face cloth for Kanna. Kanna was looking around at the bar top and saw an apple in a nearby fruit basket. She leaned over and picked it up.
Robin turned around, a wet cloth in her hand, to find Kanna holding out an apple to her. "Hewr" Kanna offered. Robin smiled and stepped over to her. "What is that Kanna?" she asked and proceeded to wipe Kanna's face.
"Apho"
"A-pple" Robin pronounced it more slowly as she stopped cleaning Kanna off. "A-pple" Kanna looked up at her mother with wide eyed wonder while she still held the large piece of fruit in her tiny little clutches. "Say Apple, Kanna" Robin said once more. "A-pple, go on, I know you can."
Once again Kanna looked from her mother, to the apple and back to Robin again. She smiled then gave a small cherubic smile and said "Ahh, A-"
Robin nodded, trying to encourage her daughter. "Come on baby girl. You can do it. Apple. App-Le"
"Ahh-"-"Apoe!" and Robin suddenly found the fruit shoved in her face. She smiled and gave a soft sigh and looked at her daughter. "Close enough." Robin took the apple and set it aside then put Kanna down. "Lets get you ready, we'll go to the park." She smiled as Kanna recognized the word Park. Parks meant playgrounds, playgrounds meant sandboxes and sandboxes meant sand. Lots and lots of sand! Kanna was at the door to her room before Robin even had time to blink. Laughing lightly, she went to help Kanna get her play clothes on.
After changing her little doll, cutting up apple slices for a snack, leaving a note for Amon and getting their coats and shoes on, Robin took Kanna by the hand and headed out of the cabin, locking it up then making her way out of the resort all together to go to a park she had seen not to far from where they were staying.
-----------------------------------
Maybe he was more skilled than what he gave himself credit for, or perhaps, and more than likely, it was just sheer dumb luck but Lucifer found himself looking directly was Robin Sena from where he stood at the far end of the park.
He had gotten lucky at the train station, overhearing that Amon was suppose to be relaxing, and then finding a blue Kia near by that he could hotwire and roar in there to get information.
Shortly after leaving Amon and his friends back at the tracks, he waited patiently and followed the brothers back to Ibaraki where Lu had eventually lost them in traffic. After driving around trying to find them once more for a good part of the morning, he gave up for lunch and decided he'd go the a park he had passed a few times that looked peaceful enough. Now, as he stood near a bench and he watched as Robin Sena and her child walked into the park.
Lu scowled. That child was bothersome. Both times, when he was disguised as the farm hand and Robin, the baby had somehow been able to see right through him. Luckily for him, she was still merely a baby and had no way to truly communicate to her parents what she was seeing or sensing. But then again... the baby was a ticking time bomb. It wouldn't be long before he would be discovered if he wasn't careful. Lu thought this over carefully, especially how he'd approach Robin.
Robin walked, hand in hand with Kanna, into the park and almost immediately the young two year old took off towards the slide. Other mothers and their children were all ready gathered around, watching their offspring, helping them on the swings or simply talking about their sweet little Jimmy and Susie and how well behaved they were.
Kanna's appearance did not go unnoticed by the other adults as she ran into the playground and started for the slide almost instantly. It was extremely hard not to notice a silver haired child really.
"Oh my, have you ever seen such a sight?" a mother asked within her group of five or six other parents. Her voice was not scornful; it was more of surprise and awe.
"Adorable little thing, though." Another mother answered.
"I wonder how her head is so white?" a father asked.
"Dyed it or bleached it, perhaps." came the suggestion of the first mother.
These comments were not going unchecked by Robin; however, she was not feeling quiet social just yet.
"Appalling to even do such a thing. How could they think of it?"
Now she was feeling social!
"It's completely natural actually." Robin said in her quiet way as she approached the group of parents.
"Natural you say?" the forth parent in the group asked. Robin nodded.
"She doesn't produce enough of an enzyme, melanin I think, that creates hair color. So it's as natural as it comes."
"That must be horrible in the summer." The fifth parent, another father, said. Robin again nodded.
"It is; she burns quite easily."
The father nodded. 'Yes, I'm a doctor and I've had one or two cases of children and adults like her. You keep her covered then?"
"Yes, in winter she's fine, as well as late fall and early spring but summer and early fall she's mostly inside. Just until she understands that a hat is not for holding sand or rocks and the like."
A soft laugh was exchanged between the parents as the conversation was switched to their children, the news, and whatever they could think of, Robin more than willing to join them. Normality was nice. During several courses of a ten minute period though Robin side glanced to make sure Kanna was okay and in sight. She was, Kanna was currently jumping around with the other children in a huge pile of freshly fallen fall leaves from the surrounding trees.
It wasn't till about the 12th time that she turned her head to glance at the children and saw an old man, much older than herself anyway, maybe slightly older than the people she had been talking with. He had a beard that was big and bushy and seemed messy. His person seemed very unkempt as well, his skin was dirty and his clothes seemed very ill fit, worn away and slightly tattered. He was a homeless bum. Most likely a dumpster diver and came to the park to do just that. So why was he heading for the children?
Robin visibly turned and looked at the children. The parents she was speaking with looked at her. Robin nodded towards the children. "Who's that?" she asked, hoping that the locals knew him. The parents turned towards the kids to observe the stranger.
"I've never seen him before," the first mother said.
"I don't care who he is, he's going towards our kids." The fourth parent said.
The parents agreed.
By the pile of leaves, around eight or so children, including Kanna, were jumping in and out of the leaves, kicking smaller piles, and throwing them up and running under them, while screaming, laughing, and playing without a care. To the children, the world was perfect. That is... it was, until a rugged stranger stepped into their paradise, and that's when the clouds seemed to roll over in their skies. Thomas, the older of the group, a spunky seven year old, paused and looked over at the homeless man walking towards them. The other children all stopped, looked, and stared..
"Hello kiddies." The homeless man gave in typical response as he approached. "I've got something that you may like."
Little Karen, a small 5 year old, made a face. "Mommy says not to take anything from strangers."
Kanna looked at the man. Inside she felt a funny energy, almost like her insides were buzzing. She didn't like the feeling, it wasn't hurting her, but it certainly wasn't pleasant. It was more or less just making her uncomfortable. Just then she felt someone pull her back and she looked to see Sandy, a six year old, another one of the children she had been playing with, grab onto her protectively as well as her own baby brother, Mikey, who was the same age as Kanna. All together, between Thomas, Karen, Sandy, Mikey, Kanna and the four other children playing, they had managed to huddle around themselves, the elders in front of the younger, protecting one another.
It was then that they heard their parents calling them.
The homeless man reached into his coat pockets and shook them but never brought his hands out. However, his pockets were full of something because they rattled, almost sound like they were full of nickels and dimes. "I got money with me, I'll go buy you some candy but you'll have to come with me."
"Why don't you just give us the money?" Sandy said hotly, pulling Kanna and her brother closer. Again, the children heard their parents call for them, and Kanna and Mikey slipped through Sandy's grip to go back to their mothers.
It was then that Mikey and Kanna where suddenly grabbed, swept off their feet and headed in the opposite direction!
It was every mother's worst nightmare that Robin and Carroll, Mickey's mother, was experiencing. Their children were being taken away right in front of them! Robin and Carroll instantly started taking off after the man as he fled in the opposite direction.
Kanna and Mikey were facing towards their mothers; Mikey was in tears and screaming. Kanna was looking at her mother with straight focus. Robin, who was not far behind the old man, realized that Kanna was waiting for instructions! Instructions her mother had no way of giving her!
"If only I had Amon's connection," she whispered as she continued running. Her craft was pointless at this point; she would risk harming the children and perhaps revealing herself to any Solomon operative in the area.
Robin needed patience and persistence. If she could just chase after the man to a less populated area she could use her craft then, even if Carroll was present. She'd take the risk. She side glanced Carroll; the young woman was in hysterics and slowing down due to lack of breath. Robin shook her head; she'd have to take the chance if she wanted this chase to stop and wanted their children back.
That's exactly when there was a flash of heat and the old bum went flying back, Robin's elbow connecting with his spine and causing him to fall forward, freeing the children and leaving the man paralyzed. To him, it would've looked like a small fire blast coming up to knock him in the face, yet holding the force of a small bomb to throw him back, right off his feet.
Robin had only used this once before when helping Doujima with a small street gang, knocking their witch leader off his feet and sending him sailing into a wall. Unfortunately Robin had to substitute a wall with her elbow, but both seemed to have a nice effect.
Almost the second they were freed, the children went running straight for their parents. It wasn't until Kanna was in Robin's arms though that she actually began to cry. Robin's tears were all ready flowing freely as she held her baby girl tight and gave her random kisses. And it wasn't until Robin was sure that Kanna was safe in her arms that her thoughts began to rush through her. What if she hadn't turned to notice the man? What if she hadn't said anything? What if she hadn't acted? What would've that dirty, dirty 'thing' have done to her baby? Her sobs took a stronger hold of her and she cried into her little one's shoulder.
Luckily, it seemed that no one noticed her craft. This time, anyway.
Lu watched the old bum with distaste. He was actually going to step in and stop him before Robin had by way of her craft. He was hardly sympathetic or nice about the situation. Technically he could've cared less any other day but he had interrupted his hunt and his study. How dare that dirty creature do such a thing!
Police sirens screamed as several cars roared into the park and several officers ran out to apprehend the monster.
---------------------------------------
Robin was still shaking over what had just happened. The police had questioned her, the parents, and the children then took the man away in an ambulance. It seemed Robin's hit to his back could've possibly had broke his spine, not that Robin minded. She didn't feel the least bit sorry for the man and if Robin truly had had her way that human would've been a pile of ashes. The police were still asking questions and they were forced to stay momentarily. Robin knew Amon would want to know of this right away though, and Robin wanted to give him time to mentally swallow this. The cell was out in seconds.
"Hello." Amon answered in his usual monotone voice.
"Hey, it's me." Robin said, as if Amon didn't know. "Did I wake up?"
"No." He answered. "Kanna decided I should wake up."
"When was that?" Robin asked, wondering if the event had triggered their bond.
Amon looked as his watch as he sat on the couch in the midst of watching a local program. "About less than twelve minutes ago."
Robin felt herself shake, her throat constricted. "Yeah, that's what I was calling you about." she sighed.
"Robin, what happened?" Amon's voice hit a slight tinge of urgency.
"Someone tried to take our daughter." There was a pause between them and Robin lowered her voice to a whisper. "I stopped him though."
"Robin, come home." Amon's serious tone cut right through her. When his tone was like that he meant 'Now or else.'
"Coming." she said and hung up. She looked at Kanna. Kanna and the other children were enthralled with the joys of a sandbox and all the dirt that, to them, didn't belong in it at that point. With their little buckets and spades they continued to empty out the sand.
"I have to get going." Robin said politely to her aquatints and officers and called out to Kanna. The toddler looked up at her and Robin smiled. "Lets go see daddy." Kanna was on her feet in a New York minute and clinging to Robin's outstretched hand, Robin's grasp was a little more secure than the last time. The two began their way home in peace yet unaware of their observer, their silent stalker... and their killer.
Lu's one thought seeped from his mouth, almost like venom. "I've got you know."
-------------------------------
Robin barely made it through the threshold when everything began to well up and boil over. Her throat felt tight, her chest heavy, her vision blurred from watery eyes and her whole body was trembling.
When she had opened the door she was met by the tall silent figure of Amon waiting for her. She stood there a moment, looking up at his eyes. Finally she couldn't take any longer. In two quick long strides, she had crossed the distance between them and was in his embrace letting her frustrations and fright out in a variation of hard and quiet sobs. Amon strong arms only tightened around her more. Kanna was at her Mother's foot, standing and hugging her leg, trying to offer her own brand of comfort.
"Mama got boo-boo?" She asked softly, looking up at her father.
Amon shook his head. "No baby, Mommy just got scared. That's all."
Kanna blinked at him, obviously not picking everything up. Robin eased out of his embrace but only for a second to pick up her daughter and hold her between herself and Amon. Kanna was now sandwiched between two adults, and one of Amon's hands reached up to stroke the toddler's head. Kanna, facing her mother, looked at Robin's face. The two year old reached tenderly at her mom's face and rested a chubby little hand on her cheek.
"No boo-boo?" the toddler asked, she seemed to associate crying with getting hurt, not being scared, despite her own scares from earlier. Robin shook her head.
"No sweetie." she just managed to whisper.
/scary dream/ Amon tried hoping Kanna would understand//mommy had a nightmare/
She did. Kanna's eyes widened at the recognition of the word Nightmare. She remembered instantly how scary hers had been with the old man and the pony. Did her mommy have the same nightmare? No wonder she leaking water from her eyes and making all the noise. Kanna wrapped her little arms around her mother and gently kissed Robin's cheek.
"No cwy, niehmar go now." Kanna cooed and snuggled herself against Robin's shoulder.
That's right. The nightmare was gone now, Robin knew, and Kanna was still with them. But to her, it all still seemed so very real.
----------------------------------------
It wouldn't be till after dinner when Robin would take another outing with Kanna.
"Are you sure you don't want me to take her?"
"Amon, I'm fine now." Robin smiled softly at him. "I promise." Amon nodded but the look he was giving her was far from convincing. She sighed and frowned. "We'll be okay. You rest up," was all she said before ushering her little one out the door.
Robin didn't even have time to close the door behind her before she turned to find Kanna in the nearest pile of dirt. Shaking her head, she tried to retrieve the baby only to end up with an arm full of baby and a face full of mud. It seemed Kanna had gotten the bright idea that dirt tasted good so Mommy must like it to, thus had no objections about shoving a hand full of the muck in Robin's face once she had Kanna snuggly in her grasp.
Robin looked distastfully at the child while trying to wipe the dirt off her face. "Thanks sweet heart." she muttered.
There was a semi faint burst of laughter coming from the house. Robin glanced towards the window to see Amon doubled over in laughter. His original idea of seeing them off silently from the window had turned into a small comedy act that he had seen coming a mile away.Robin glared at him but that had seemed to have lost all effect due to her dirt covered face and promptly set him into another fit of loud laughter.
"Eat mah dwit!" Kanna clapped, quoting the ever-famous saying.
Robin was going to hurt Amon.
After wondering back into the house and doing a quick clean up, Robin found herself down at the beach sitting on an old dry log that had once been driftwood so long ago, watching Kanna dig herself to China by way of her spade and pail in the soft warm wet beach sand. The setting sun's warm rays reflected of the small waves that lapped at the nearby shore. The salty air was cooling quickly as the evening was beginning to turn night and the gentle sea breeze blew across the waters, up upon the shore and through Robin's hair that glimmered gold in the sunlight.
She brought her coat closer to her in attempt to keep the chill out. A small scream caught her attention and she looked up just in time to see Kanna jump out of her hole and look down into it with wonder. It soon became apparent to Robin what her two year old had discovered as it came crawling out of the hole. A beach crab! And a fair sized one at that.
"Be careful Kanna, those things hurt."
Kanna looked at her mother. "Owie?" She saw Robin nod but Kanna decided that it was worth her while to persue her quickly fleeing treasure. "Cwabby cohm back!"
Robin shook her head. It was really the only way Kanna was going to learn she supposed. Robin felt another chill come from just behind her and suddenly heard that last of 3 or 4 heavy foot falls before someone sat down beside her on the log. She blinked momentarily. "Nice of you to join us" she said as Amon watched his daughter for a moment.
"Thought the fresh air would do me some good," he said to her with a small grin.
Robin looked out at the sunset. "Well when I said rest up I didn't mean that you had to be cooped up in the house all day." Absent mindedly, Robin had noticed Kanna had strayed to far down the beach for her liking. "Kanna! Come back here!" she called out.
Further down the beach Kanna bent down and picked up the crab. At her mother's call she looked to see her father had come to join them. She gave a glee filled smile at the man and responded magically by sending her positive feelings that he had arrived and something akin to "Look at my treasure!"
The feelings she received back though left her in a state of confusion because the responding feelings from her father were just that. Confusion. Perhaps he did not know what she had? No matter, she would show him! She was quickly trotting towards the couple, taking careful measures not to fall in the wet sand below her little feet lest she fall and break her new discovery or hurt herself.
Then it hit her. An unnatural cold wave of stilled air slammed into the front of her and she stopped dead in her tracks. It felt like she had just run into a very cold fog that separated itself from what would be a hot summer air.
Amon and Robin looked at one another then back at their daughter. "Kanna?" Amon called out.
Kanna's eyes widened in panic as she zoned out. She had felt this feeling twice before. Her father's voice seemed distant to her, almost like a soft echo. She then dared herself to look at him and when she did it was like looking directly into what nightmares are made of. Surrounding the wavering image of her father was a black ghastly aurora and as she took a step forward second by second part of her father body was replaced by this ghostly shadow.
Now as she stopped just five feet from him, instead of her father, stood a black monster of no particular form. It was like it was made from the shadows you find under your bed at night, and it's eyes were glowing a hot white and dangerous. Its breath was raspy.
"Kanna, what's wrong?" it's voice sounded like a woman who was trying to scream in her nightmares but failing and making a high airy-squeak.
"Kanna, what is it?" Amon asked. He looked at Robin, and she exchanged a worried look through him. Robin had never seen her little girl look so frightened before... or had she? Didn't Kanna hold that same look driving away from that farm a few days prior?
"Kanna?" Robin asked.
Kanna looked from her mother to the monster standing next to her. Didn't she see it? Wasn't she afraid? Kanna began to shiver from where she stood and her breath quickened as she started to panic. Where was her daddy?
TBC...
Q&A
Q: Lucifer's power is obviously illusions. From religious terms and readings, what am I playing on?
A: The ANSWER to my question a few chapters back is: FALSE IDOLISIM! Satan sent false idols... solomon sent Lucifer who can use his imagery to change into anyone. Of course we have Kanna that can see right through them. She sees a monster, no wonder why she gets so scared.
Q: What's the deal with Amon looking like a monster to Kanna?
A: Figure it out for yourself, you'll evidently find out in the next chapter but I figure my readers and brilliant people, they can guess and probably guess it right.
Q: Kanna's been silient though most of the story, why talk now?
A: Becuase two year olds can still be yappy things. Kanna's just a quite kid. I know, she's talked more in this chapter than any other. wait till next chapter. Nagira teaches Kanna new words.
Q: what was the deal with the homeless man?
A: Technically that was a last minute change, Somelese was suppose to happen but I decided to change it around and show Robin in a morthly role, able to think and protect her daughter and show that she to is human and has fears a mother would have. Though I regret on not having her act more quickly, but then there would've been to many questions to answer I think.
Q: How's your head?
A: Suffering from Post Concussion Syndrome is not fun, it's affected my grades and I've had to medically withdrawl from University for a while. I'm not a happy camper about this considering I'm in my 3rd year.
Review please, that's all I ask, and you get the nice prize than comes with reviewing.
