Traitors Embrace, Inhuman Creation

A/N… Well after a very long pause I’m back with another chapter, I promise it won’t take forever for the next one. My dad is in the military and we move all the time, and this time to a really small town in the middle of the Arizona desert. Guess what no internet; High Speed just became accessible here. So I hope you like the chapter, you can tell me if you do or do not in the form of a review.

CH 8

Amon was half way to his apartment when Robin began to tremble again, this time Amon couldn’t stand by with out asking if she was fine. “you need to see a Doctor Robin”, Amon said; Robin just laughed “you’ve no idea”, Robin said with a joking seriousness, Robin played with her radio looking for a good station, not finding one she switched to her CD player, right away music filled the car, Robin pressed the forward button a few times and sat back, rested her head against the window and closed her eyes. For a few long moments the song was just music, a sad, but powerful melody that he had heard before, Amon listed quietly as the singer started to sing.

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I\'ve been told
I really don\'t want them to come around

Oh, no

Amon looked over at Robin she was mouthing each word, Amon recognized the song now, it was the song Robin had been humming to her self all day, Amon didn’t understand how such a song could give Robin comfort, the song went on, so Amon kept listing; he was sure he would learn some secret from the lyrics, something that would let him understand Robin.

Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I\'m happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can\'t remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end


Robin squeezed her eyes shut, She hated this song, but god did she love it, she would listen to it continuously, it made her feel calm, she knew that was morbid, but it did. The song continued, Robin just wished she could listen to it again, but she was trying to keep her mask up, Amon couldn’t find out exactly how far gone she was.


Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I\'m happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can\'t remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end

Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I\'m writing on a little piece of paper
I\'m hoping someday you might find
Well I\'ll hide it behind something
They won\'t look behind
I\'m still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don\'t know, I don\'t know what else I can do


Robin was lucky just as the song ended Amon pulled into his apartment garage, Robin got out quickly and went to the door leading to the building, Amon wasn’t as fast the lyrics still played in his head, they worried him, Michael had told him once that the music a person listens to would better tell you about some one than if you new that person for years. Michael went on to say that even though he listened to a lot of rock, he hated the depressing stuff, Amon thought that the song he heard was most depressing, but it was so much more then that it made him feel hopeless, Amon made a note to find out the band that the song belonged to.


Robin waited patiently for Amon at the elevator, far more calm then when she first got into the car, “you have a suit case or a duffle right, other wise your going to have to throw all your stuff in the trunk, Socks, pants, shirts everywhere, it will be a massacre” Robin smiled, It was a real smile, it put Amon some what at ease. “I have a duffle bag I can use” Amon got into the elevator Robin followed, “let me guess its black” Robin guessed, “actually its tan” Amon stated, “were they all out of black” Robin asked as she stepped out of the elevator behind Amon “yes” Amon said simply, Robin laughed, and grabbed onto Amon’s arm taken it into her own “your Absolutely priceless Amon”, Robin continued to giggle, but let go of Amon’s arm. Amon opened his door and immediately went about getting his duffle bag from his closet. He watched Robin from the corner of his eye, she was examining his book collection “You a big fan of Clive Barker”? Robin called over her shoulder.


Amon looked up from the bottom of his closet, “yeah, are you”? Amon asked genially curious, Robins eyes lit up a bit “oh yes, I can’t wait for the next Abarat” Robin said as she moved to Amon’s CD collection, Amon smiled softly “yeah so am I”, Amon said not very interested, even though he was. He spotted his bag stuffed into a corner, he pulled it out and turned again to look at Robin, she was still looking at his music collection, Robin must have liked what she saw because her soft smile grew to a grin, and she spun around “Except for a few bands here and there our collections are almost exact.” Robin said happily, Amon was actually rather surprised to have that in common with Robin; his taste in music was pretty strange, just in the fact that he had a sample from nearly every genera.


Robin looked at the tan bag in Amon’s hand “well get packed, I want to be home by supper”, Robin demanded with her hand pointing to Amon’s Bedroom. Amon didn’t say anything; he was just relieved that Robin seemed to be back to normal or at least normal for Robin. Amon started loading his bag with clothes, very much aware that Robin followed him into his room, he heard her flop down on to his western style bed, he hated sleeping on futons. Amon left his closet almost bare, Robin pointed out that the only thing he left was that hideous shirt he received from Touko.

Amon was slightly afraid to turn around, he knew Robin was on the bed, but how she was lounging on it he didn’t know, Amon desired her, that much came easy but now was not the time to explore his feelings towered Robin. He just hoped she wasn’t being too suggestive, Amon turned slowly towards his bed, and let out a sigh of relief, it caused robin to lift an eyebrow but that was ok. She was only sitting on the bed feet on the floor, one hand behind her holding her up. The other was in the middle of combing her hair back. It was still sexy, but not enough to get Amon going again.

Amon went to his dresser; suddenly a little shy Robin would be watching him pack his boxers. Robin grinned suddenly, Amon had the feeling she had read his mind “its not like you where thongs Amon, I’m a big girl Seeing your undergarments isn’t going to scar me”, Robin said sarcastically, “unless” she continued with her head slightly tilted “you do ware a thong”, Robin looked at his hip area for a moment then lower, and lower still. Amon couldn’t believe it; Robin was actually checking his ass out. Robin stopped and smiled a very sweet but very dangerous smile “just teasing, now PACK” Robin ordered again. Robin fell back onto the bed, her hair fanned out behind her; she was studding the ceiling, giving Amon a small amount of privacy.

Amon was glad he wasn’t the blushing type, because he felt like he would have at that moment, * like hell she was just teasing, she checked me out*, Amon quickly glanced over at Robin, * it would be so easy to just have her now* Amon wasn’t really comforted by his own thoughts, but it was a small comfort to think that a stronger man then him self would be aroused by Robin at that moment, there she was on his bed, her hair down and looking incredibly beautiful, her shirt was ripped all over from the eaters, exposing very soft looking milky skin, even the scars on her body turned him on. Her lips were slightly parted, very inviting. * This is no good Amon*, Amon pushed his thoughts away, and quickly finished packing.

“Ready Robin” Amon called from the living room, he was packing his laptop, Robin came out rubbing her eyes, it looked like she had dozed off. “ I’m Good to drive”, Robin said threw a yawn, Amon threw her the keys and opened his door, Robin started to follow him but quickly turned around and went to his CD’s, she ran her finger over the cases quickly and pulled out an album “ a little something to keep me awake, I must admit I was surprised to see Alkaline Trio in your selection” Robin said as she headed back to the door, Amon just shrugged his shoulders, how exactly do you answer something like that.


Once Robin got into the drivers seat she hooked her phone up so she could answer it on speaker phone, “Never drive and talk, horrible manners” Robin said as an explanation, Amon agreed completely, even if he didn’t say so. Robin put the CD in and turned the volume low enough so if they wanted to talk they could. Amon found this to be perfect because he wanted to talk. * Just start slow, don’t jump the gun on her* Amon told him self, “so where exactly is the place your bringing all of us, it must be large to hold every one.” Amon asked, before Robin answered she rolled her shoulders several loud cracks followed, “ its was going to be called The Castle Rock Hotel, now we just call it home, you might have heard about the Hotel and its owner on the news”.


Amon had heard about the Hotel, “ the mans wife and new born son were ripped apart by wild animals, After that construction stopped, now there’s just a half finished hotel in the middle of the country” Amon spoke while recalling the memory. “Well it’s a lot more then half done, and it wasn’t animals, it was eaters; and the reason why I came back to Japan. Mr. Taft handed it over to us as payment for getting his wife’s wedding ring back, and the knowledge that his family had been avenged. He still lives at the Castle Rock but I drought you will see him, he stays to him self”, Said Robin.


Amon was about to ask another question when Robin’s phone rang, Robin gave Amon a quick look that said ‘sorry, well talk later, I promise’ before she answered, “your on speaker” Robin said as a greeting, There was a laugh on the line and then a mans voice came on, it was deep, but feminine at the same time, he sounded English, but could have been some other accent, “you driving Robin”? The man asked, Robin smiled “doesn’t matter Aatami, how is my favorite Finnish man today?” Robin answered happily. “Now Robin don’t lie you know I\'m not your favorite Finnish man, I believe a certain rock star is first”, Aatami said teasing, Robin blushed. “ I was trying to spare your feelings Aatami, but how strong of you to step aside for Ville Valo, now why did you call” Robin, asked still blushing softly, Amon thought it was adorable, * Robin has a crush on a rock star*, Amon mused to him self.


There was a long pause over the line, Then Aatami asked “are the twins with you”, “No, just an old friend, what the problem sweetheart”, Robin asked concerned. There was a sigh across the line “ I’m coming to visit you three, I’m actually calling from the terminal in Helsinki”, Aatami said sadly, Robin frowned “ Adrian will be so pleased, from his last call I got he said you two didn’t get a chance to see each other.” Robin said still frowning, she looked a tad confused. “No we didn’t, I miss him like crazy, with planning his engagement to Lucy he was busy and I don’t think Lucy would have been pleased if he spent all his time with me” Aatami explained. “You’re almost the other women except your not” robin joked, Aatami snorted over the line. “Is the friend you with cool to talk in front of, I don’t think I can wait to talk to you alone” Aatami asked desperately. Robin gave Amon a quick look “yeah, he doesn’t even have a tongue to talk with, your safe Sweetheart”. Robin said seriously, but Aatami must have got the joke because he gave a shaky laugh, Amon thought the guy sounded like he was about to cry.


Aatami sighed on the line again “ I’m in love with him Red, I’m going to tell Adrian I have been in love with him for years; I’m going to tell my best friend that is engaged, that his best friend is completely in love with him” Aatami chocked threw it, the tears were definitely coming now. Robin looked some what shocked, but not completely, she was obviously expecting something like this to happen”. Robin didn’t have a chance to say anything, Aatami continued , “ I don’t know if I’m Gay or Bi, but I just cant help being in love with him, I keep thinking about him being with Lucy for the rest of his life and I go crazy”, Aatami explained, his accent getting thicker.


Robin smiled softly, “ Oh Adam, it has nothing to do with you being gay or not, don’t stress over that, Adrian is you best friend, he knows you better than anyone, , god I’m not surprised this didn’t come out quicker” Robin said in a gentle voice, “ What if he hates me after I tell him, what if he doesn’t, I know I cant base what we do when were drunk, but god we hug, we kiss, we even cuddle” Aatami said trying to get his feelings across to Robin, “ oh, I know perfectly well how you and Adrian act when you have a few drinks in you, Aatami I don’t want to get your hopes up, but I think you and Adrian might make it threw this maybe even more then you think”, Robin said trying to cheer her friend up.


Aatami sniffled “god I want that to be true, but he’s getting married, the only reason I’m going to tell him is because its starting to destroy me”, Aatami said again threw tears, “I understand Sweetheart, I really do, Believe me now when I tell you every thing will work out for you and Adrian, If I’m wrong You can shoot me….again.” Robin said joking. Amon looked at her stunned * Again, what does she mean again*, Aatami gave a teary laugh, “but this time I will feel bad about it, I didn’t know then you were suck a cool chick Red.” Aatami laughed again, this time he sounded like he was more in grasp of his emotions. “I really love you Robin, Thanks for letting me cry on your shoulder, see you tomorrow, I would ask you to pray for me but…” “I will Aatami, see you tomorrow”, Robin said goodbye, and the line went dead.


Robin bit the side of her cheek “poor man”, and then she turned the music a tad higher. Amon was still staring at her “care to explain what being shot again means, Robin”, Amon asked gruffly, Robin bite her lip, “Aatami is a witch hunter in Helsinki, Finland; and I don’t think I have to explain what that means to you Amon, or do I?”, Amon wished he hadn’t asked, he wanted to get as far away from that time in his life as he could “no I think I understand better than anyone”, Amon said coldly. Robin just nodded her head; they were on nearly empty rode now, out of the city and in to the country, Robin speed up she handled the wheel with grace, “who taught you to dive by the way”, Amon asked “like how I learned every thing else; I did. Why am I going to fast Amon”? Robin asked. “No, just wondering, what kind of name is Aatami, or Adam you called him both”. Amon asked. “Aren’t you the curious one, Aatami is Finnish, so is his name, it’s the Finnish form of Adam, so if you can’t pronounce Aatami call him Adam he doesn’t mind”


Amon didn’t want the rest of the trip to fall into silence so he asked the first thing that came to mind “do your really think your friends will make it”, Robin smiled “absolutely, those two are madly in love with each other they just don’t know how the other feels, when they go drinking they would come back all over each other, then when they would sober up it would all be one big joke. Sad that they could only show how they felt when they were drunk.” Robin laughed; she was recalling one of several memories. Some thing about the whole thing still didn’t make sense to him “But if one of them is getting married, how can they have a relationship, Sexual or not”.


Robin didn’t say anything for a moment “ its hard to explain, but it doesn’t matter that neither of them like men, they find each other attractive because they love each other, the sex will come after every thing else, anyway. As for Lucy Adrian will have to deal with that” robin laughed and blushed at the same time “Aatami is one very very beautiful man, it must have something to do with Finnish men or something”, robin blushed brighter “he look’s like a women” Amon asked, “no not really, I guess you will just have to see tomorrow, when you see Aatami you will understand”, “ok” Amon answered. “how much further to The Hotel” Amon asked, “ ten or so minutes, I know a great short cut that took about a half hour off the time; it comes in handy quite often”, Robin said very proud of her self.


“How so”, Amon asked “well look at the back seat, that isn’t just our blood staining the seat, it’s always good to have a short cut when a friend is bleeding to death”, Robin spoke very passive. “Yes a short cut would come in handy for something like that” Amon said just as passive, it made Robin smile. They didn’t say anything else for much of the rest of the ride, Amon just keep thinking that for some reason he and Robin had a conversation about sex, and it felt like the most natural thing in the world. * god what was I thinking, she’s just a kid, and I ask her if she thinks her to male friends are going to end up screwing each other*. Amon looked at Robin from the corner of his eye, he wondered if she had ever looked like a child, he knew she could only be at the oldest 17, but he felt she was most likely still 16; Amon thought about him self when he was 16 * my mother was still alive, I wasn’t even thinking about hunting witches, I was pissed off most of the time because we were going to move to Japan before I could have my 17 birthday party. Robin probably hasn’t even had a birthday party once. I was too interested flirting with girls to even care about the would around me and robin has the whole thing on her shoulders*. Amon felt a sudden rage pass threw him, he wanted robin to be normal * having a crush on a rock star isn’t enough*, Amon snorted a bit audibly. Robin gave him a strange look “yeah Dennis the Menace I love that comic too”. Amon laughed, so did robin; the Castle Rock hotel Was in view and Amon figured Robin was just a tad insane, and that was just fine with him.
