~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next several days were tiring. Amon and Robin both were forced to sleep in less than sub-standard situations. Nagira had provided them with plenty of food, that had been the saving grace. The only highlight of the trip Amon thought, was having to play husband Robin. Glancing at the sleeping girl he could honestly say she\'d handled this adventure far better than he\'d expected. She never complained, never pushed for her own wishes. Just graciously accepted her situation, and his means of resolve. They were only a few miles offshore of Alaska now. Soon they have the luxury of baths, beds, and decent food.

Robin heard the groaning of the ship beneath her. Slowly opening her eyes, she locked gazes with Amon\'s dark somber eyes. Immediately getting to a prone position she realized the air around her was frosty.
As if hereadread her mind Amon answered her silent question \"We are a few miles off the coast of Alaska\"
She nodded her understanding, pulling the heavy coat she\'d used as a blanket up around her. Before she knew it Amon had tossed his coat rather uncerimoniously at her. At this point she was grateful for the added warmth.

They sat in silence until reaching shore, where he told her they would be staying in town overnight. With only one lodge in town, and it fairly close to the docks they were inside a warm room within 10 minutes of landing. Robin was almost giddy inside looking forward to a bath. Amon appeared indifferent as always. Robin placed the bags within the small closet. She washed her face, and hands....did her best to smooth her tattered appearance. Examining herself in the mirror she frowned at the filth that had accumulated on her new clothes.

\"Robin....\" he called
\"Hai?\"
\"You go ahead and bathe, I am going to dinner\"
\"Hai!\"

Robin was pleased with his decision, as she had been with all of his decisions on the journey. She quickly set about getting her clothes ready. In moments she was heaven bound.


Amon trudged through the snow, he\'d seen a resteraunt when they docked. He knew Robin would cheerish a hot bath, and he was glad to allow her first dibs. She\'d been very patient and compliant with his wishes.
He figured a hot meal after a nice bath would lull her to sleep quite nicely this evening. He\'d been monitoring her sleep. She had dreams nearly every night. Everytime she called his name in her fevourish torment he wanted to protect her.
After reading the menu he finally settled on two bowls of soup, and coffee. That would thaw them both out nicely. When he opened the door, Robin was no where to be seen...he knew she was still bathing.
Not wanting her soup to get cold on her, he thought to let her know he was back. She had left the bathroom door ajar. \' damn is this woman trying to tempt me?\' he gently tapped on the door.
\"Hai?\" she definately sounded in better spirits he noted
\"Don\'t lag, your dinner will get ice cold\"
With that he turned on the TV, and started devouring his own dinner. He could hear Robin exiting the water, and the aroma of her bath soap. Within minutes she was before him, happily accepting the soup. The mild aroma he\'d previously smelled, now swirling about him. Uncontiously inhaled...absorbing the essense that reminded him of her. That smell was often lingering in his car he remembered. Even now it lingered on his coat.
Grumbling he forced his attention back to his bowl.

Robin had throughly enjoyed the bath, however she wished it could have lasted longer. But the warm liquid before her was just as pleasing, and worth the exchange. Noticing that Amon seemed to be frusterated with her, she slid further back on the bed...doing her best to maximize the space between them. A frown tugging at her lips, she\'d done her best to not be a burden to Amon. Yet she remain an nusance. She would let things be the way they were now. And hope he at least learn to tolerate her. The forboding question lingering in her thoughts \'why do you hate me?\'. She gave Amon one last glance before returning to her dinner.

They had both found themselves interested in a movie that had begun during dinner. By the time it had completed Robin lay with her back to Amon, sleeping soundly.
Desiring such sleep for himself, he got a quick bath before lying down himself.

Either from exhaustion or relief they both slept soundly....

Sunrise had come hours before. Amon woke. It was just after 10am. Raking his hands through his hair he surveyed the room....before settling his eyes on Robin\'s still sleeping form. She had wrapped herself in a robe after her bath. And fallen asleep in it. It now lay open exposing her bare breast. Her rosey pink nipple peeking out beneath the material. His gazed traveled down her body....her long legs traveled up to a gently curved hip. Her body young but still well defined. He found his mouth beginning to water slightly....the urge to suckle her breast silently suffocating him.
It was to much for him...his maleness had grown hard, and must be satisfied. Praying she would not awaken he excused himself to the privacy of the bathroom.
Careful to maintain quiet, he freed himself from the pajamas that bound him. Once free of the constraints of the material he leaned his back into the tiled wall behind him. Wrapping his hand around his stiff shaft he started his slow strokes. Images of the girl on the other side of the wall burned into his brain. He could see her before him, he reached to caress her breast....moaning under his touch. Peeling the robe away from her body her full nakedness at his view. His hand trailing down her body, stoping at her junction. Her aroma beginning to fill the air. His body ached with desire, he wanted nothing more than to drive himself deep into her moist folds. The fire was building his body reacting to his fantasy urged him further to the edge of release. A familar ache began to build in his loins, with a firm grasp his feverous pace sent him sailing into heaven. His seed exploding from his body. A heavy sigh escaping his lungs slumped to the floor. \"Robin......\" her name barely more than a whisper on his lips. His body still shaking from the intensity. He allowed himself time to recover, he fought to control his emotions before having to face Robin once again.


Robin had begun to wake shortly after Amon retreated from the bathroom. She noticed she\'d been covered with a blanket sometime in the night. She gave Amon a sleepy smile deeming the gesture a show of kindness. However she quickly noted a blush rise to his cheeks before he broke the look. \'Amon blushed?!\' she marveled at the idea. That was quickly replaced with and idea. She set her determinations at that very moment to show Amon more kindness, and friendship. \'Perhaps that will melt his icy resolve\' she mused. Not wanting to dawdle she got ready to climb out of bed when she realized she\'d been nearly naked had it not been for the blanket she would be exposed to Amon\'s eyes. Blush rising to her own cheeks now she quickly covered herself as best she could with the blanket and escaped to the bathroom.

Amons grin spread wide across his face. \'Something about that girls blush makes me crazy\' he got himself back under check. Deciding it was time for coffee, he told her he would be back in a few minutes.

Robin listened carefully for his exit. As soon as she was alone she rushed to gather her clothes. Quickly scurrying back to the tiled security of the bathroom. She brushed her teeth, and hair, before getting dressed. Amon had come back only moments earlier. Deciding it was now or never she went out, smiled a gracious smile. Thanked him for the coffee, then took her cup.

\"We need to leave in a few minutes, are you ready?\" he asked, not looking in her direction
\"Hai\" she said, before taking a good sip of coffee

He placed his cup down the dresser, and started gathering up his own things. Soon both their bags were by the door....he surveyed the room making sure they left nothing of identifying purposes behind, before exiting the room.
\"Where do we go now?\" Robin asked shyly
\"We make arrangements for travel\" was all he volunteered.

After the arrangements were made, they set out on their way. Robin marveled at the mode. She and Amon were positioned in dog sleds. Gliding across the sea of snow. She\'d only heard of dog sledding. Never in her imagination would she have thought she\'d be riding in one. Amon seemed to be taking things in stride.
She kept quiet under the fur\'s sheltering her from the cold blast of air. ing ing to imagine what life would be like for the next few weeks, or months. She hoped she would be able to return to a normal life someday soon. The fears started to creep up within her. The remainder of the trip she silently prayed for their safety.

Amon watched the sled ahead of him carrying Robin. The cold wind swirled around him. He\'d never seen this kind of thing in his life. It was not something he felt he could get used to. But for now he and Robin would have to make the best of things. As he had heard it they were in the dark here much of the year. That was the only thing he\'d found intriqing about the place. He\'d always prefered the darkness. It gave him a sense of security to be in the shadows. It matched his mood so well, and his loneliness was something he prefered to keep in the dark, private for only himself to see.
A small village appeared on the horizon. A few flickering lights beaconed to them signaling the end of the journey.

Amon asked the man inside the only store that was in town. It served as the postal office, grocery, and general meeting area for the inhabitants of the sleepy community. Robin absorbed the quiet charm of the facility. \"Lets go\" Amon\'s voice whipped her back to the task at hand. She was immediately head first in a sharp blast of wind, trudging through snow up to her knees. Thankfully the house in question was only a short walk away.

A gentle looking women appearing to be in her 40\'s answered the door.
\"Marie Haymor?\" Amon asked
\"Yes, c\'mon in\" she said,stepping back to allow us entrance
\"Nagira sent us\" he told her
\"Yes, yes....here set your things down and get warm by the fire\" she rattled about making some coffee before returning to the fireside.

\"I hope you won\'t mind sharing a bedroom?\" she looked at Amon obviously trying to judge his reaction
\"That\'s fine\" his only response
\"I sleep in the smaller of the two, so you will have a little more room for yourselfs\" she quickly added

\"What is your name child?\" the woman asked Robin placing a gentle hand on her shoulder
\"Robin Sena\"
\"Ah, Lovely name....for a lovely girl, Welcome to my home and please make yourselves at home\"
Robin gave her a smile and nod of acceptance.

After a few hours of talking with Marie Robin began to grow sleepy. Amon had been rather quiet the entire time. He\'d assessed the suroundings, judging the woman to be no threat. He\'d carefully watched Robin\'s mood while the two ladies talked. He was amazed at her ability to accept what was thrown in her direction. His admiration of her growing more through each day. Having seen enough of her struggle to remain awake he spoke up \"Robin, go to bed\". She flashed a shy smile, said her goodnights and was gone. Amon turned his attention to Marie.
\"Nagira explained everything?\"
\"Yes, Nagira has told me of the \'factory\' and your plight\" she said, her gaze drifting to a photo on the wall
He saw sorrow in her expression indicating she had somehow been affected by the activities of STN-J or Factory herself.
Looking to the photo himself he saw a younger Marie with a man. Before he could inquire she offered the information freely.
\"That was my husband, we had been married only a few years when that photo was taken\"
She struggled to fight back tears before going on
\"We lived in Europe, just outside Wales...I was expecting our first child ........\" her eyes glazed over with tears as the memory flooded her mind
\"He...was a seed, immediately following the news of the baby we were driving in the rain. The car began to slide out of control....in his desire to protect us something woke inside him and his power surged. Neither of us knew what had happened. Only that we were safe and alive, our baby was safe\" wiping the tears that had escaped she gave him a half hearted nod and continued to explain
\"Only weeks after that we noticed strange vehicles frequently near our home....and discovered that people had been asking questions about us, one evening after my husband return home our door was busted through. He panicked and his power which he\'d tried to forget took over, he fought to keep me and our unborn baby safe. They shot him several times, before dragging him from our home. I never saw him again\"
\"The baby\" Amon felt compelled to ask
\"The baby........the baby was lost days after\" she muttered
The pain etched in her face reached him somewhere deep inside. \"I\'m sorry for your losses\" he told her
\"You are not the one who took my husband from me, and caused the death of our child young man, do not worry about an lonely old woman I have found my peace in helping others to escape the same torment that\'s haunted me all these years\"
\"Hai\" was all he could say

\"I will show you tomorrow where you can find access to what ever you may need, you and Robin are welcome to stay here as long as you like....tonight I am tired and must excuse myself\" she said
\"Goodnight then\"
\"goodnight\"

Amon remained by the fire for awhile longer, going over what Marie had told him. He felt sympathy for the woman. He\'d never thought about the familys that were left to pick up the pieces after a witch was hunted down. He found himself thinking about that a great deal the last few weeks. In truth he\'d felt remorse for what he\'d done in the past shortly after meeting Robin. She\'d forced him to look at the broader picture. He didn\'t like what he saw, he often wondered if that is what compelled him to botch the hunts he\'d been ordered to oversee on Robin, or if it was something else......
Soon he was compelled to sleep himself. He finished the last of his coffee, before heading to the bedroom he would share with Robin. He was frusterated with the nervousness that grew at each step he took.
Opening the door he noticed a large bed against the back wall of the room. It was dark but he could see that it was quite cozy. There was a fairly large dresser on the wall opposite the bed, a trunk was placed at the foot of the bed. There were no chairs or other possible places of bedding. A handquilted blanket donned the bed, and covered Robin\'s naked body. She was sleeping soundly now. He lightly walked to the far side and removed his shirt. With no other option but to sleep in the bed beside Robin he decided he would keep his pants firmly in place.
He looked within the trunk and found a blanket for himself. Laying ontop of the blanket that covered Robin he found his position, allowing sleep finally.

Robin felt a presence near her, drawn to the warmth she couldn\'t resist the urge to go to it. She reached for the warmth pulling herself nearer. Finally reaching it....it folded it\'s self around her, allowing her to seek refuge within it\'s embrace. Settling in for a content sleep a quiet moan escaped her.

Amon woke , unexpectedly content....his eyes did not want to focus without force. He noticed the soft warmth near him. Looking to the sourse he found Robin\'s arm across his chest, his arm around her upper body and a very content smile upon her face. He could not surpress the grin that now shone on his face.
He pushed himself off the bed after carefully releasing his arm. Leaving Robin the bed to herself. He covered her before replacing his shirt and leaving the room to the little bird which nested there.

He found Marie stirring about the kitchen. She had begun breakfast which Amon had to admit smelled wonderful...and had his stomach growling fiercly. Gratefully taking the coffee she offered he decided to wake Robin for breakfast.
He had hoped to be able to stir her by calling her name that unfortunately failed. He found himself having to wake her with a gentle nudge of her shoulder. \"Robin....\" he sounded as if he was pleading
\"hmm?\"
\"You need to wake, our host has prepared us breakfast\" he informed her
\"Ha *yawn* hai\" she replied barely opening her eyes to meet his
He quickly turned on his heels and left the room \'damn it, she don\'t even know what a temptress she is\' he thought....pushing down the thought he went to his place at the kitchen table.

Robin gently sighed at the coldness she had once again recieved from Amon, but decided breakfast definately did sound tempting. She quickly rose, donning her reliable black gown, and rushed to the breakfast table. A steaming cup of coffee had been placed for her at the table. She smiled and took a hearty sip. She felt Amon\'s glare across from her.....refusing to aknowledge it she turned her attention to Marie.

\"May I help you with something?\" she a, ho, hoping to do something other than be the target of his critisizm
\"Oh no child, I\'m nearly done, besides you two should really try to rest, I\'m sure the journey was very tiring\" Marie bubbled, she was very grateful to have company in this lonely wilderness.
Within minutes breakfast was served. The trio ate quietly.

After finishing Amon asked Marie if she cared to continue their conversation from last night, Robin set herself to washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen while the two talked.

\"Did you know of your husbands heritage before you married\" Amon asked
\"Of course, my husband was very forthwright about his past, and who he was\" she told him
\"So you knew of the possiblity of danger?\"
\"Yes, my husband\'s mother was hunted for being a witch herself.\" she said
\"Are you a seed?\" he asked bluntly
She paused for a moment before giving her answer
\"I did not know of my own heritage, till after......my baby\'s death\" she answered quietly

Robin\'s heart ached for the woman upon hearing her last statement

\"Why were you unaware?\" he wanted to know
\"I had been abandoned as a baby, those who raised me as their own had no idea of my heritage\"
Amon listened, suddenly angry that a parent could abandon a helpless infant.
\"How did your powers awake?\"
\"After the loss of my child, I became consumed with rage, sorrow, hatred and guilt\" her eyes misted
\"I found myself wanting to withdraw from life, and those around me.....somehow the seed within me bloomed awaking the power in my blood. When my loved ones sought to comfort me, they were unable to reach me. A touch would send them sailing across a room, a shield of hurt surrounded me...I was trapped within my dark world of sorrow....\" her words trailed off leaving a silent question hanging in the air

\"Spirit shield\" Robin spoke, more to herself than the others
Amon and Marie turned their attention to Robin who still had her back to them.
\"Spirit shield?\" Amon asked
\"It\'s a power fed by emotions, a witch can caccoon his or herself within that shield\" was Robin\'s quiet reply
Amon turned his attention to Marie who was still fasinated by Robin\'s knowledge
\"Is that why you are now here?\" he asked
\"I came here because I was told there was a woman who could help to seal such powers\" she told him
\"Seal the powers?\"
\"Yes, the spirit shield is a low level power, not hard to seal....and with the peace I find here in this place It has never awoken.\" she told him
Marie turned her attentions back to Robin
\"You are a....\"
\"Witch\" Amon blurted out
Robin flinched at the tone Amon said the word...\'he will always hate me and my kind\'

\"What is your power?\" Marie asked
\"Fire\" Robin answered
\"You are an elemental?\" Marie asked, quite obviously surprised
\"She is a special case\" Amon added to the conversation

Marie turned to look at him, surprise written on her face her only reply \"Oh\"

Robin\'s heart was sinking, she had known Amon hated her....but it hurt somehow more with his openess about that hate being shown in front of a stranger....one who had been so kind to them. \'Does he hate me more because my power cannot be sealed?\' she wondered.
She found tears forcing themselves to the surface, dismissing herself she retreated to the bedroom.

Amon saw the tension rise in Robin, he suddenly became aware of the fact that he had been the cause of it. When she left the room his gut knotted, he\'d lashed out at her without intending to. She had once again become the target of his frusterations without his trying. His eyes softened for a glimpse of a second.

Marie noticed the tenderness in his eyes, even if he fought to surpress it. Deciding to change the subject
\"If you would like I can show you on the map where the nearest town is which will accomodate your technological needs as we do not have much more than power and telephones here\"
\"I would only require a telephone connection for the moment\" he told her
\"Feel free to use it when ever you need, I don\'t recieve many phone calls you know\" she shot him a grin

The days turned into weeks, Marie found the two of them to be great company, Robin assisted her with her household work happily. Amon helped with the household repairs which had been put off up to that point.
Amon was recieving updates on the situation from Japan regularly. Nagira had remained in contact with the other members of STN-J. It was not long before the two witches were officially on the \"hunt\" list. Marie\'s concern for the couple grew. She did not want to see them hunted....she knew they were on the path to their destiny....to be hunted would be disaterous.

Amon grew anxious by the day, apprehention ate at him like disease. His emails to Nagira had proven to be very informative. His worst fear had been realized with the last correspondance. The other members of STN-J had uncovered data from the events of \'Factory\'s\" explosion. A strong surge of power had been detected during the last moments of the explosion. Amon knew what had happened.....and he would do what was nessesary to ensure that it remained that way.
