Discovery of new powers: Anna and Robins past

 

Amon and Anna were sitting on his car, driving to the hunt location. Anna was placing her guns on her gun holster under her coat.

“Have you faced this kind of witch before?” Amon asked her, trying to start a conversation with her.

“No, back in Costa Rica, I handled telequinethic and life-sucking witches. Elemental ones were rare in that area of the world.”

“Well, here we are.” He said and pulled over the car. Behind them, Doujima and Karasuma got out Mihos car and Sakaki took his helmet out. The hunters gathered around Amon.

“The witch is supposed to be hiding in the left warehouse. There are three possible entrances: The front and back ones, but there is also a cargo door on the left side of the building. Anna and I will take the last one. Sakaki take the back and Doujima and Karasuma will take the front. The meeting point is on the stairs that head to the third floor.”

The group was divided and Anna followed Amon to the cargo door. Amon tried to open it, but the lock was too rusty and it didnt open.

“Stand back” Anna said. Amon did what she said and she focused on the lock. A flame appeared and burned the lock in no time. She took it out of the door and slid it open. They entered and ran quickly to the meeting point. What they didnt saw coming was a huge rock flying behind them. Anna turned around in the last moment and pushed Amon out of the way. The rock hit her on the back and she rolled on the floor, unconscious.

Amon fell to the floor and quickly turned around with his gun on his hand. The witch was on a balcony over them, laughing frantically.

“So, here are the famous STN-J hunters. Looks like your partner cant help you right now!” And he moved his hand towards Amon. Two enormous rocks split from the wall and flew towards him. He jumped, trying not to be hit by them, but one of the rocks drifted and followed him. He stood on the floor, waiting for the rock to hit him, when suddenly it stopped in the air. Looking around, he saw Anna standing with her hands raised towards the rock. She made one swift movement with her hands and the rock flew towards Akira. He tried to stop it using his craft, but the rock kept on moving and he had to jump out of the way. On the meantime Anna ran towards Akira and took her guns out on the way. Akira got up easily and sent a bunch of rocks towards her, but she dodged them easily and shot him on the shoulder. He fell on his knees, and tried with his last strength to shot a rock towards her, but Anna did another jump and in the air shot again. This time the bullets hit him on his leg and he finally was knocked over.

 

Anna stood there, watching the witches body lay on the ground and turned to face Amon.

“Are you Ok?” She asked

“You are pretty good. Where did you trained?”

“I was trained in a hunters base located in Canada. They made us use our craft only as a last resource, and to use our physical and aiming abilities to take down witches.”

On that moment the rest of the hunters approached them. They saw the body laying there and a pretty banged up Amon.

“Wow, who did all this damage?” Sakaki asked

“Anna did all by herself” Amon said, “she pretty much handled the witch alone. All I did was watch.”

All the four heads turned to see Amon. The oldest crew of STN-J knew that Amon wasnt a guy used to flatter anyone, so the statement he made left them all surprised. Anna, on the other hand, expected that Amon would try to hide the fact that he was close to be killed by one simple mistake as not covering his back.

“Well, the Containment van must be here any second, so I guess that Amon and Anna can go back to their place and rest. We will be seeing you guys tomorrow.”

Amon and Anna nodded and headed towards Amons car. They got up and drove away from the warehouse.

-------------------------------- --------------------------------------

 

A few minutes later the two hunters reached Amons apartment. They went inside silently. Amon sat on the couch and Adrianna walked towards her room. Right before she entered her room, she heard Amon whispering something.

“Excuse me?” she asked him.

“Oh, I was just thinking out loud. Never mind.”

“Ok”

She entered her room and a few minutes later loud music came out of the door.

 

No hace falta un hombre para sobrevivir

(Theres no need of a man to survive)

Que ronca por la noche, y no pueda dormir
Se bien a donde voy y tengo fe en mi

(That snores at night and cant sleep

I know well where I am going and I have faith in me)

Hace un tiempo atras pensaba que tal vez
Estando junto a el me haria sentir bien
Pero algo me cambio y ya no espero
Que me aprueben o me entiendan
Para estar feliz

(Some time ago i thought that maybe

Being next to him would make me feel good

But something changed me and I dont expect

To be approved or to be understood

To be happy)

Amon was starting to get used to the idea of that noisy, rebel and defiant huntress in his life. But something kept on bothering him. He kept on feeling that he was betraying Robin.

No pienses mal quiero alguien que me sepa amar
Un amor real y verdadero
Si viene bien y si no viene ya que mas da?
La vida sigue igual

(dont get me wrong I want somebody that knows how to love me

A real and true love

If it comes its cool and if it not, what the hell

The life goes on the same)

He walked towards the window, still submerged on his thoughts. Betraying Robin. Is the same kinda thought of a man that lost someone he loved. He stopped at the last line. Loved? Did he loved Robin? The answer came to his mind in a flash. Of course I loved her. But I was really stupid to think that of a 15 year old witch. What about Anna? She was like a living picture of Robin, but still she was really different to her younger sister. She behaved like a true rebel, strong and confident. He liked that about her, even she has been near him for only one day.

No hace falta un hombre que page por mi cena
Pero si tu insistes aqui esta la cuenta
Y debes comprender que no es preciso
Que me cuides, o me atiendas
Para estar feliz

(Theres no need of a man that pays for my dinner

But if you insist here is the bill

And you must understand the is not necessary

That you take care of me or look out for me

To be happy)

Amon smiled when he heard her singing that song. He didnt understand a word of the lyrics. It should be in Spanish. Her accent was perfect and her voice was amazing. He heard the water from the bathroom running. He took out a bottle of whisky, a glass and served himself a drink. He sat there, listening to the song and drinking the whisky. Suddenly, the bedroom door opened and Adrianna came out of the room, still singing the song. Amon watched her open the fridge and look for something. She closed the door and turned to face him.

“Drinking again huh?” She said with a smirk on her face.

Amon just nodded.

“You know, whisky is nothing compared to this” she said taking a bottle with a red label on it, “This is called guaro back in Costa Rica and is about ten times stronger than that little girl drink you have.”

“Girl drink, huh? I bet that you cant drink it in one shot.”

“Is that a bet?” She said, approaching him. She took the drink out of his hand and swallowed it whole. Amon just stared at her, not believing his eyes.

“You shouldnt drink that much.” He managed to say

“Yeah right you are the one to talk. If I recall correctly you picked me from the airport and you were drunk” She said, while putting some of the strange alcoholic drink in his glass and serving herself on another glass. Amon took a sip and almost chocked. Yeah, Anna was right, the drink was a lot more strong that what he was used to drink. Anna, on the other hand, looked like she had drank that all her life. She looked at him and laughed.

“What?” Amon said

“You look just like Robin when we stole some of our grandfathers sacramental wine and drank it all. She took just one sip and went drowsy. Juliano found us and I was grounded for a month.”

Amon laughed with her. After all the laughs were done, he remembered about Robin. He went serious.

“Whats wrong?” Anna said

“I miss her.” Amon said

“Well that makes two of us.” Adrianna said, “My baby sis was the level headed, but she always was there for me, to get me out of trouble.” She smiled, “I remember when she called me about her assignment on the STN-J. She was really happy about having a undercover mission. She had been hunting for a year, and she was getting bored of it. An undercover mission sounded very exiting for her. I had already been undercover before and I never liked it. I told her: Youll see, in a month you will be bored and will be begging granpa to take you back home. At least on a hunting job you have to fight and every fight is different.”

“I remember the first time I saw her” Amon said, “It was on the hall in Harrys. I was walking next to her and she gave me a cold glare. I realize that time that she was a very strong person. The next time I saw her she was standing in front of a guy of three times her size and she didnt even flinched.”

“You were in love with her, didnt ya?”

“What?” He said, looking at her eyes, “What makes you think that?”

“Is written all over your face.”

“I dont know”, he said, his mind blurry for the drink (AN: alcohol makes you confess, trust me it happens!!), “I guess that I liked her strength and her maturity for her young age.”

“Its ok, I am not gonna tell anybody. You should get some sleep, we have to work tomorrow.”

They got up and each one of them left to their respective rooms. Amon lay down on his bed and fall asleep immediately. Anna, on the other hand, stayed up for a little more, thinking about what Amon told her. Well sis, you managed to melt that big ice cube. I just wonder what can I do to fulfil your wish. She thought taking out a letter that her sister left her before she died. She opened and read:

 

 

Anna:

I am writing you a few hours before we break into the Factory. You have no idea all that has happened in the past few months sis! After I was sent to Japan to find the Crafts ultimate technique, I met this hunter named Amon. At first he was pretty mean to me, leaving me at the hunts and telling me that all I did was useless, that my craft was weak. The months passed and we began to team up, specially after the hunt of a witch that controlled dolls as part of her splited personality. Then the building at Ravens Flat was attacked and he saved me, just to be wounded. The weeks passed by and we realized that the administrator Zaizen tried to kill all the hunters to use humans to capture witches. Right now all of us are gonna break into the Fatory to discover what is going on there.

I think that there is no easy way to say this: I had a dream a few days ago, and I saw Amon crying in front of a grave. I tried to reach him, but it was as my hands were made of air. Then I turned around to see the graves carving and it was my name. I have a big feeling that I am not gonna make it out of the Factory alive, so I need to ask you a little favour: Take care of Amon for me. If my dream comes true, ask Juliano to send you to the STN-J and take care of Amon. He can be rude sometimes, but deep inside of him there is good. He hates the fact that he is a Seed, and I never figure out why. Help him to get over the feeling of loosing me, and help him embrace his craft.

 

If I make it out of the Factory, I`ll send you another letter telling you so.

 

Love,

Robin

 

Anna folded the letter and placed it back into the envelope. She promised to help Amon, but she felt it was going to be a hard task. She put on her PJs and went to bed.
