Amon woke up,
~Robin…. Whoa, you wake up and that is your first thought? This is not good Amon, you got to build back that ice, you have to keep her out, this will in end badly, heartbreak and death!~ Amon's thoughts trying to cling him to the darkness. Amon groaned, trying to roll back over and go to sleep but something was pulling at him telling him to get out of bed, Amon punched the bed and drug his heavy body up from the warmth and the comfort of his bed. Slowly he rubbed his face, as he took his sweet time getting to the bedroom door that was closed Robin was slowly coming around.
Why must I fight to stay alive?
Amon turned the knob of the door and tripped over Robin, he growled, he laid in the floor for a few minutes.
~What the hell did I just trip over?~ Amon groaned, he heard something;
Wake me, can't you hear me calling?
Slowly Amon turned his head in the direction of what sounded like a mumble,
~Robin!~ Amon quickly getting up and crawling over to her,
"Amon," Robin called out again,
"I'm right here," Amon feeling of her head, she was burning up and sweating and having cold chills.
"The herbs… by my bedside, put them in a cup, pour boiling water over them…stir it," Robin groaned. Amon felt of her pulse, it was a very slow pulse,
~Robin's dying! I've got to get her to the hospital~ Amon thinking,
"Robin, you're dying, there's no herbal drink that is going to save you, I'm taking you to the hospital," Amon about to pick her up.
"Trust me Amon, I know what I am talking about, now do it," Robin harshly. Amon followed her directions, he ran and grabbed the pouch on her bedside table and ran downstairs and started fixing the herbal drink for her.
I fade away into the night
My eyes are closing in
Shadows are fleeing from the light
My nightmares can begin
Robin's eyes were getting heavy,
"The fight begins as so does the nightmares," Robin whispered as her world slowly went black. A few minutes later Amon ran up the stairs carefully to not spill the herbal drink, he sat down in the floor and got Robin propped up against his bare chest,
"Robin, come on Robin, drink," Amon putting the potent drink up to her lips, Robin started to drink the herbal drink, finally she had drank it all, Amon put the cup down and carefully picked her up and took her into the darkness of her room and laid her in her bed and pulled the covers over her. Amon watched from the corner of the room, secretly he wanted her to wake up and be alright, but he would never admit it to anyone. A couple of hours she jerked up, breathing hard and sweating, she was grateful for the room that was completely swallowed up by darkness, Robin got out of bed only to walk over to the window and fall to her knees, she bowed her head, interlocked her fingers together and slowly closed her eyes.
"Dear God hear my call, don't let me fall into this darkness, give me the strength to fight this craft I am cursed with, don't let the fire take me over, I give you my word if I am to be safe from harm I will forever do what you have created me to do, please God, spare my partner from this darkness that he is falling deep into, he does what you have created him to do also, please God hear my unanswered prayers, spare him from the darkness, show him the way," Robin slowly opening her eyes and staring at the floor. Amon was still hiding in the corner of her room, he didn't want her to know that he was watching over her,
~Why does she pray for me? Doesn't she know that I have done this to myself? How could she possibly care for someone she doesn't have any knowledge about? She is a craft user, she knows her fate, but yet she sees it as a curse, she hates what she has become.~ Amon's thoughts confusing him. Robin slowly rose from her knees, standing straight on her own two feet, slowly she turned in his direction, staring into the darkness that had swallowed both of them for the time being,
~Can she see me? Does she know I was watching over her? Impossible! I haven't moved or made even a sound!~ Amon thought in silence.
"Seems you will be killing your new partner soon, I don't know how long I can put up the fight, just so you know, I believe in you, and I will always believe in you, you are a good soul, so much has been laid upon you, we all have to fight to stay alive," Robin leaving the room.
Why must I fight to stay alive?
~Come on Robin, you have to cling to something or you will be swallowed up by this craft.~ Robin's mind begging her to hang onto something stable to keep from falling into the dark abyss, she walked into the bathroom and shut the door.
Amon moved to the doorway of her room and watched as the bathroom door shut.
"I will kill you Robin, so you don't have to suffer anymore," Amon softly,
"What are you mumbling about?" a familiar voice coming from downstairs, Amon jerked around to see Sakaki,
"Sakaki, what do you want?" Amon gritting his teeth as he made his way down the stairs,
"We found her a place, an apartment, you can see it from your rooftop, that way you can keep an eye on her or at least that's the message that the boss wanted me to give to you," Sakaki not knowing what it meant, his eyes grew wide,
"You are to kill her if her powers get out of control aren't you Amon, you can't do that, she is only a kid!" Sakaki screaming at Amon, Robin had finished her shower and could hear the screaming and make out some of the screaming, slowly she walked out with a towel around her. Robin stood at the top of the stairs,
"Sakaki, Amon is the only one who….who can do it, as long as he has the gun in his hand, I will be able to pull the trigger myself, I refuse to hurt the ones close to me with my curse," Robin walking down the stairs and past both of the men while only wearing a towel. She headed to the laundry room to put on her fresh clean dress, as she walked away Sakaki's jaw dropped, he couldn't believe that those words came out of a 15 year old girl's mouth.
~Robin would have the strength to save Amon from herself? She couldn't possibly already have fallen for that jerk!~ Sakaki turning and glaring at Amon, Amon walked back upstairs, he had remembered something about Robin's aim.
~My mother's glasses, she could aim better if she was wearing glasses.~ Amon entering his bedroom and opening a drawer by his bedside and took out a glass case. Slowly Amon emerged from his bedroom carrying the case, Robin greeted him almost as soon as he walked out of his room, she of course dressed in her black dress and brown trench coat with her hair in that funky handlebar style, Amon stared into those green flawed emerald eyes of hers, his heart started to race, his eyebrows furried, he wanted to brush her hair out of her face but he knew he couldn't touch her that was over the boundary lines.
"Sakaki and his girlfriend were on their way to the mall so I guess I will just get a lift from them," Robin in that quiet voice of hers,
"Robin, take these, use these the next time you use your powers, you might have better aim with them," Amon giving her the glass case, Robin opened the case, she looked back at Amon and nodded slowly she turned and headed down the stairs.
~What the hell is wrong with you! You are acting like you're a race horse that just won a race and you're all giddy inside, stop it! She's gone to the mall, now you can go and check this apartment out and you can start building up those ice walls around your heart.~ Amon thoughts slapping him in the back of the head, Amon growled, he had the key that Sakaki had given him, he watched Robin walk out the door, it felt like she was walking out on him forever, but she wasn't.
