A/N after a very long wait I bring you chapter 4, I hope all the waiting was worth it, please tell me what you think

CH 4

Robin gave Amon another not so reassured smile and rummaged in her pocket for a piece of paper. She handed the paper to Amon, “do you know where this place is”. On the paper was an address for a club, Amon had never seen or heard of, but he did know of the area. Robin studied his reaction, “no, but I know the area. What is the reason for us to be going to this place, it’s dead in the middle of some of the worse witch hunts we have ever handled”? Amon was now studying Robin, he was sure that Robin looked very relieved when he said he didn’t know the place, but other then that her eyes showed nothing to him. * That’s new, usually her eyes were very expressive*. Amon started the car none the less, the drive was not long but it wasn’t just down the block, giving him plenty of time for question s and answers.


Amon kept one eye on the rode and the other on Robin, he was watching for something, hoping that she would answer the question he had asked just a minute ago, but it became clear to Amon she was not going to give information so easily. “What do you mean we have to go see this person”? Amon asked not at all letting on he was curious. Robin only inclined her head slightly towards Amon, she was still watching out the window. Amon saw a smirk form on her lips. “ he hopes I am to ashamed to bring you to him, he only wants to see you really, he was very interested in you, but I would never leave you in the company of that monster alone, or let him reach out to you him self.” Robin said this all very casually, like she was talking about an old friend. Robin continued before Amon could dwell on the reasons why Robin would be ashamed. “There are so many witch hunts in this area because Nightmare is a king among witches; he has power like nothing you have seen before. Do you remember that witch that nearly killed Sakaki by fear, Nightmare is a million times worse.” Robin frowned, she hadn’t intended on telling so much, but she knew Amon deserved the truth, even if he ran from it later.

Amon watched Robin’s eyes change with each emotion she felt, disgust, anger, hatred. But never fear. “Do you fear him”? Amon was starting to get anxious, and he didn’t at all like the idea of this witch Nightmare. Robin had turned more towards him but kept her eyes out the window. “I did, but now I am probably the only one in the world who does not.” Robin pointed up the street “its right there”. Robin pointed to a frame of a burned down building. Amon wondered if the fire had been her work, as if Robin had read his mind. “It’s not my doing”. Robin said with a heavy sigh. “Ready”. Robin spoke, with a coldness that could rival Amon’s. “Cant be ready for what you don’t know will happen”. Amon said just above a whisper. Robin smiled “true”.

Amon allowed him self to fell somewhat safe with robin going into the structure. After all he had two weapons with him, a gun and robin. Now inside the burnt structure Amon could see stairs leading under ground, robin put her hands in her pockets, and instructed Amon to do the same. Amon could not help but ask why “ well considering, there is about a 80% chance there will be an orgy going on, or that one just ended, or one is about to begin. You don’t really want to be touching anything”. Robin laughed at Amon’s shocked appearance. Robin continued down the steeps keeping her pace with Amon’s. “Don’t say anything to them, just trust me ok”. Amon nodded in understanding, he thought it looked like robin gripped something in her pocket, or was just making a fist.

Soon music could be heard in the passage, as well as soft muffled moans. “Looks like were right on time” Amon joked as they passed a naked pile of people. Robin couldn’t hide the fact that Amon had shocked her, “was that your sense of humor showing Amon, or do just want to join” now it was robin who shocked Amon, * since when does she participate in banter, since when do I* Amon thought as they continued down another hall. Not every one was busy in the flesh pile, others were dancing, or talking, but Amon noticed right away how they reacted to Robin. They would often stop dead, looking to one another looking for what they should do, most settled on walking as fast as possible away, or past but staying as clear as possible. When the hall emptied again all save one person, robin stopped.


The man at the end of the hall had just closed a door behind him, he noticed robin right away. Amon was certain this time that robin made a fist; she kept her hands in her pockets and continued to walk. Amon watched the man retreat a step, but he hit a wall. Seeing that running was not an option, the man put his bravest, smug grin on. “Can you believe it, he is going to die when I tell him” the man spoke English. Robin smirked at the man as she got closer “now, now Eater what makes you think you will be seeing your creator again” robin answered in English, which briefly took Amon by surprise, he noticed her slight Italian accent. The mans smug grin disappeared, when robin was just a foot from him; The man, or Eater as robin called him, noticed Amon standing silently next to Robin.


The man reached out to touch Amon’s arm, but before Amon could even react to his hand moving towered him robin had her hand around the mans throat and threw him to the wall, with her hand still around his throat. The man squeaked, “I was just going to touch him”. Robin tightened her hold on the mans throat“but you cant, I haven’t changed”. The man pleaded with robin, but Amon found that robin was in complete control of her self. “Eater, you should know better not to touch my possessions” robin hissed into his ear. Amon raised his brow to that * I\'m her possession*. Robin let go of the man and he quickly started to stager down the hall, but as an attempt to save face. “You’re a traitor to the blood in your veins” he shouted it over his shoulder as he ran away.


As if nothing happened at all, robin opened the door and held it for Amon he went threw quickly, robin right after him. Inside sitting on what appeared to be a thrown, was a very old man. His hair was thin and white, his face pale and wrinkled, but Amon was not fooled by his appearance, his eyes were evil, and his lips were confident. “Your late, I was hurt to think you broke your promise to me beloved” robin cringed at the pet name. “I never break a promise, Nightmare” robin spoke with each word coated in poison, her face cold and emotionless, “but will you keep yours”. Nightmare smiled, exposing green mossy teeth. “Anything to make you happy, there on the table, but before you hurry off with your dear Amon, I wish to speak with him alone. By the way how is Julia”? Nightmare spoke with out taking his eyes off of robin’s chest. “Alive” was robin quick answer, Nightmare frowned “Alive, it’s been a month and you haven’t killed her” Nightmare was angry, but robin didn’t care. “Your horrible girl, but no matter your bound to weaken, but since you were late I believe the two of you owe me something”. Amon quickly looked at robin, she didn’t look happy. “I want a kiss” nightmare spoke with a perverted grin as he still looked at robin’s body. “no way you sick pervert” robin shouted, It only made Nightmare’s grin grow “oh Robin, you have made me an old man, I have come to terms with the fact I will never have you, so I want you to kiss” he pointed at Amon “I think you will find that my conversation with him to be painless if you do, or if you chose not to..” robin cut Nightmare shout, with a hissed fine.

They both knew it couldn’t be a simple friendly peck on the lips, Amon found him self nervous about a kiss, for the first time in ten years. Amon instantly felt guilty for the situation and his feelings towards them, this was something robin wasn’t giving, it was a forced kiss. Or so Amon thought until he saw the faint blush on robin cheeks, with she was trying to hide from Nightmare, robin was no longer the confident girl from this morning. Amon wrapped his arm around Robin’s waist, taking control, and pulling her close to him; he tilted her head up and told her it was alright. Robin calmed slightly, she knew she was blushing like crazy, but this was Amon she was about to kiss.

Robin thanked god that Amon was taking control of the situation, she felt his breath on her lips before she felt his lips, she was surprised, Amon’s lips were soft and his kiss was gentle, nothing like she thought the man to be. Robin was aware of a content yes come from Nightmare, Amon lightly lapped the tip of his tongue against robin’s lips as he pulled away from robin. Robin regained composure quickly and moved to the table where her books were waiting. She was very aware of the two sets of eyes that followed her. “You could always kill me robin, your power out weights me a hundred fold.” Nightmare rested his head on his hand. “And start another war, no thank you I’m busy with the war I fight now”. Robin grabbed the books and looked at Amon, she looked sad. A door opened on the opposite side the came in, and hurried out. Nightmare smirked from what robin said down the hall. “Touch him, and I will find room”. Nightmare snorted, as the door shut.


Now Amon was alone with him, Nightmare only surveyed Amon for a moment before he spoke. “I’m not disappointed, I feared you to be one of her horrible worriers, but now I see you are clueless to her battle. But you may know robin by another name now, Phoenix.” Amon tried to hide his shock, * robin is Phoenix, Seth… shit the girl from last night said his name and I didn’t even make the connection*. Nightmare continued “ you wonder how I came to know robin, some of my men, if you would found her close to death, knowing my taste for the young, they brought her to me, but this was in France, I’m only in Japan because robin is, I figure she told you of my power, but did she tell you I was a young looking man when I first saw her, I put forth every inch every gram of my craft to torture her, and she beat me. A 15 year old next to death beat me, not that I didn’t do damage, the girl hardly sleeps anymore” the man spoke to Amon like he was an old friend, Amon just chose to listen. I can drive the strongest of man and witch alike to insanity or death with a simple thought.” Nightmare sighed, thinking about the old days.

“ but some how she managed to swallow down every vision, every horrible sensation, there still there, only I can get rid of them, I have waited for her to beg me to release her from the nightmares, but she will not come to me and so she suffers, and I slowly grow old.” Nightmare fell silent “are you looking for sympathy”? Amon asked “no, I wanted to see your face, she found strength in you somehow, the strength she used to beat me. But that was nearly a year ago, the girl robin, has turned into the beast Phoenix. Which I believe is the pet name of another man for her. * Benicio, or is it someone else*. The door robin had exited out of opened “I’m done with you, but let me give you some advice. Robin will loss her battle, the monster inside will take control… again”. Before Amon could speak, he felt himself being pushed out of the room; he heard the door slam behind him. He turned in time to watch it disappear, ahead of Amon was a long passage, a small bit of light could be seen, he walked toward it, wondering if robin * phoenix * was waiting for him.


* she must of known he would tell me about her, why didn’t she tell me herself, why didn’t I figure it out…now that I know who she is, I cant let her go, I have to bring her to the STN-J, she must realize that. Or she thinks I’m an idiot and would not figure it out, or that I would be so glad to see her I would let her just get away with killing hundreds of innocent people* as Amon’s inner voice got more pissed off, his took his gun out. The voice that kept sawing, that robin had saved peoples lives from those creatures was ignored, Amon was hurt, and angry. He was so happy to know she was alive, but now he felt betrayed, she knew he was the one to protect her; she had left him thinking she was dead. And out of the blue she pops up, wounded. * She probably had Seth stab her, so she could get off the hook for awhile. *

Amon had reached the end of the pathway, he could see robin sitting, with her back to him, reading one of the books she took from Nightmare room. Amon aimed his gun at her head, walking as quite as possible, he was able to make it a foot from her before robin spoke up, “ so were back to you pointing a gun at me”, she sounded exhausted. But Amon said nothing, he watched her put the book down, stand up and turn to face him. “You will have to kill me, because I won’t be letting you take me in, and I won’t try and hurt you”. Her eyes were sad her smile gone. “Why, it’s not like you haven’t murdered before” Amon spoke with directness, he hadn’t expected for robin to look so hurt. She glared at him “I have never killed anyone, those things you think are innocent people, there killers, Why do you think we call them eaters Amon, maybe because they fucking eat people alive.” She yes shouting by the end of it, Amon had never heard her yell or use a curse word before.


“You’re a fool, all of you, how long have you known about phoenix and Benicio, a few days. It’s been going on since the factory fell, and not just here all over the world. I pity this planet, if I had left it in Solomon’s hands, he would own the world now”. Her words had cut him deep, and he didn’t know why that hurt so much coming from robin. “You expect me to believe that you’re fighting a war against flesh eating monsters, you have gone mad, Nightmare told me about what he did, and looks like you went insane after all.” Robin winced, Amon could see that she was starting to weep; she closed her eyes and bit her tongue trying desperately to push away the all consuming horror that would come. “What he did to me has nothing to do with what I do now, he found me almost dead because I had already been in Benicio\'s company, he had already infected me. But I beat him two, I refused to loss control of my humanity, and I still fight.” She screamed at him, she had never broken down like this before.


Robin quickly calmed her mind, stopping the tears in moments, she put her hands to her side and slowly advanced on Amon, he had unknowing backed away a few feet. Amon stood strong, his gun still raised but now it was aimed at her heart, he hadn’t noticed that he had lowered it. When robin stopped, the gun was pushing in her chest she looked into Amon’s eyes, always so black, Amon looked into hers once so green, were glazed over, he hadn’t noticed the small black ring in the middle of the green. He looked at her hair, it was far darker then it had been even a few hours ago. He study every inch of her face, she wasn’t insane, and she was exhausted, worn out from a year of fighting for her self and the world. The answer was clear to why she never let on to him she was alive * I wouldn’t want her to see me like that*. Amon lowered the gun slowly, twice not she had faith in him to make the right choice, this time he was certain he had.


Robin slightly swayed on her feet, she couldn’t believe Amon wasn’t going to kill her, she felt that same strength she had when she was in the clutches of Nightmare, she didn’t regret coming to him now, and he gave her the strength to move again, strength long ago gone. Amon watched robin, as he put his gun away, he say it in her eyes, the black ring faded and the brilliant green came back. “What do we do now” robin asked him softly. “Lets go see Master Harry, he must be worried about you, and I will buy you lunch”. Robin smiled, she hugged him again and rested her head on his chest, “I really did miss you Amon”. She spoke into his shirt, but he understood her, he held her by the waist as he moved to the pile of books on the ground, picking them up and leading robin towards the car, he smiled “so did I”.
