Witch Hunter Robin Fan Fiction ❯ A new life ❯ Memories: A common past ( Chapter 9 )

Memories: A common past.

 

Amon started to hear voices far away from him. He tried to reach them, and a little after he recognized one of them: It was his mothers voice.

“Leave him alone!”

He heard a second voice, but it was a mans voice. It seemed familiar, but still far.

“We are taking him and no matter what you say you cant change things. So, please, move aside.”

“He is just a kid! Besides his craft is still dormant!”

“Mister Zaizen said that he must be trained as a hunter. He has the average age. All the top class hunters began at 10 years old. Some even began at an earlier age.”

The voices began to fade, and he woke up. In front of him were Miho and Sakaki. He looked around and saw that he was at Ravens Flat. He sat up.

“What happened? Wheres Anna?”

Miho looked at the floor.

“We tried to reach her, but the same witch as before sent an energy blast so we couldnt follow them. We went inside the building and found you on the floor.”

Amon got up from the couch where he was lying. On the couch next to his, Doujima was still unconscious.

“Have you tried her GPS locator? She has one injected on the back of her neck.”

“Michael is trying right now.” Sakaki said.

The hunters gathered around the young hacker. A few minutes later Michael had found her signal.

“She is at a warehouse on the dock area. But, guys, that place is a maze. The warehouses were abandoned four years ago, due the last earthquake on the zone. Most of the buildings are falling apart and the rest are half destroyed. Those bad guys could easily ambush you. And, besides, we still dont know how to stop that blasting chick.”

“That doesnt matter. That guy wants to kill Anna, if he hasnt already. Besides, we are hunters, this is our job.”

The hunters walked towards the parking lot. Amon sat inside of his car. He turned around and saw Annas iPod lying on the passengers seat. Come on Anna, stay alive. This cant happen to me again, you cant leave me now that I found you.

 

………………………&# 8230;…….

 

Anna began to regain consciousness. She saw that she was tied to a chair and felt something hanging around her neck. She looked down to see what it was and saw a crucifix filled with some green liquid.

“Is a really amazing thing. You know: Orbo.”

She looked up and saw Gabriel staring at her. She tried to burn him to the ground, but her craft did nothing and the green liquid began to bubble.

“This specific Orbo works against its user. Administrator Zaizen gave it to me a few weeks before he died, killed by your sister. He asked me to finish Toudous nonsense once and for all.”

“And now you are gonna kill me to prove how dangerous I am? Gabriel I expected more from an SS-Class hunter like you, but obviously I was wrong. You are just the average crazy jackass.”

Gabriel chuckled to himself. He got up and slapped Anna pretty hard. Anna looked up to him and spit blood at his face. Gabriel took a step back and cleaned his face.

“I am getting out of this Gabriel.” She said with a glare full with hate.

“And who is getting you out of this? Your useless partner, that Amon guy? Your STN-J friends ran away like the cowards they are. None of them has a chance against Dinah, and you know that. If they come to get you, Dinah is not gonna be as merciful as before with them, and then all the people you love will be dead, killed by your fault. Dont you see it Anna? Someone as powerful as you is like a disease, bringing death around them. First your little sister, Robin, was killed for saving her beloved Amon.”

“You are lying. Robin was killed on the fall of the Factory, not because of Amon!”

“Oh really? I recovered the security tapes from the Factory.” He got up and turned on a TV. He pushed Play and Anna saw her sister, running with Amon, holdig his hand. Suddenly a piece of the roof fell and trapped Robin under it. Amon tried to lift it up and she saw them arguing about something. The Anna saw fire in front of Robin and Amon fell backwards, out of the picture.

Gabriel stopped the tape and turned to see Anna with tears running down her cheeks.

“Your sister died saving that useless Seed. Now you are gonna die just because you had to save him too. But if he comes, all he is gonna find is you, cold and dead, like your sister, the so called “Eve of witches””

………………………&# 8230;………………….

 

The hunters parked a few blocks away from the area of the warehouses. They all gathered around Amons car.

“She is supposed to be in the third warehouse from the left, so you guys better go there as quietly as you can.” Michael said from the communicators.

“What about the blasting witch?” Haruto asked, “How are we supposed to stop her?”

“Leave her to me” Amon said, taking a sniper rifle out of the trunk of his car, “This is filled with witch hunting bullets, they might knock her out of our way”

“So this is the plan” Miho said, “Sakaki and I will go on the front, gathering the witches attention to a spot where Amon would shoot her. After that, we will proceed where the signal is coming from, extract Anna and get the hell out of here.”

“No”

All the heads turned to see Amon, very surprised.

“What do you mean by no?” Miho asked him

“You guys will stay here after we take the witch down. I will go and get Anna, alone.”

“Thats suicidal! You will never get out of there alive. The guy took Anna with him, and she is the best hunter we have ever had.”

“He took her because she let him do it. Besides I have a score to set with the guy.” After he said that, he walked to the nearest building, carrying the sniper rifle. Miho ran after him and stopped him.

“What the hell do you think you are doing?” She asked him

“I am going to my position to shoot the witch.”

“Thats not what I am talking about and you know it. I know that you are in love with Anna, but dont go and freak out about her being taken. She is a big girl and she can take care of herself.”

“How did you know about me and Anna?” A very surprised Amon asked Miho.

“Number one: I am a witch and number two: even if I wasnt, I saw the way you changed since she came here. Even normal people can see it, but the rest of the crew of STN-J are too young to see it. And to continue what I was saying, I am going with you inside, whether you like it or not. Anna is my friend and I am pissed about this too.”

Amon nodded and left to his position. A few moments later, Miho and Sakaki went inside the warehouse to begin the rescue operation.

………………………&# 8230;…………

 

Anna lost consciousness after Gabriel shot her more Orbo. She began to dream, but in her dreams she saw herself when she was five years old. By that time, she was already training to become a hunter, when she saw in her dreams the arrival of a new trainee. It was a black haired boy of about ten years old. The grown up Anna recognized the boy immediately: it was Amon as a kid! She tried to approach him, but she saw her younger version do the same thing first. Amon looked scared, surrounded by strange people.

“Who are you?” The young Anna asked Amon

“I am Amon”

“Are you here to be trained too?”

“I dont know. The men in black suits took me here after…” The boy began to shake without control, “After my mom did that thing”

“Your mom is a witch?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I am a witch too, and so is my mom and I think that my sister will be a witch too. She hasnt been born yet”

“My mom is not a witch!”

“Then what she did? You talk like she did something bad”

“She did! She killed those men in front of me. She is a monster!” Amon got up fast and ran away from the little Anna. She looked down, and walked away slowly.

Anna stood there on her dreams. She met Amon before she was assigned to the STN-J? Why cant I remember that? Is this a dream or this is a real memory? She began to wake up when she heard Gabriel talking to Dinah.

“What are they doing here? How did they found us?” Dinah yelled at Gabriel.

“She must have some sort of tracking device on her body. You go outside and take care of them. This time show no mercy! Kill them and leave no survivors!”

Gabriel walked towards Anna

“It looks like your friends are here to rescue you. Too bad that Dinah is gonna wipe them all!”

Anna barely heard those words. Her mind was working fast, trying to remember more about Amon. She began to loose consciousness again and dreamed again.

The young Amon was sitting on the dining room of the training facility. Little Anna walked in holding hands with a young woman. Her mother, Maria Colegui, to be precise. Older Anna began to cry when she saw her mother with her big eight-month belly. A man joined them soon, Annas father, Todou. They all sat on the table next to Amons. Anna sat next to her mother and put her ears on Marias big belly.

“I feel her! She is kicking me!” Anna was excited about feeling her little unborn sister kick her, “Mom, have you chose a name for my baby sister?”

“We havent chose one honey. Have you thought of names for your sister?”

“What about Robin? Like the bird!”

Maria looked at Todou and he nodded in agreement. Suddenly Anna looked at Amon, who was sitting alone, eating his lunch.

“Mom, can I ask you something?”

“Sure honey, what is it?”

“Can we have another brother?”

Maria laughed at her daughters idea.

“I havent gave birth to your sister and you want another brother?”

“I mean, could we adopt a brother? I knew this boy and he is lonely and his mom left him. He is a trainee here too and I was wondering if we could let him into our family”

“Adrianna, you know that our family is very special. That you and your sister are very special girls. Your father and I want to put all of our efforts in taking care of you, and another kid is something we cant afford. I need you to take care of your sister when your father and I are gone. I am sorry to say we cant adopt another child.”

Young Anna was very disappointed. She looked at Amon one more time and got up from her chair.

“I have to go. My class begins soon and my instructor would be very mad of I am late mom.”

“Ok honey. I want you to give me a kiss goodbye, you know that your father and I are leaving to Italy soon, to visit your grandfather. The next time we visit you, your sister will be here too to say hello.”

Anna kissed her mother and father and left. Amon sat there, looking at the scene before him with a cold glare from his gray eyes. He got up too and left them.

 

Anna began to regain consciousness again when she heard gunshots on the outside of the building. She knew it, Amon was coming for her. Please Amon, take care. Once again, she fell into the dark void of unconsciousness.
