Robin's Battle With DeathChapter One
"So Robin, tell me. How are you and Amon doing? I heard you two have been hitting it off very well. Amon is very fond of you." Touko and Robin were eating lunch at Harry's one Sunday afternoon. "Yes, we are doing just fine, thank you." Robin took a sip from her cup and smiled. She knew Touko was a little pissed at her for she, Robin, was now dating Amon and Touko was no longer. But Touko still wanted to be friends so Robin didn't hold it against her. Anyways, it wasn't Robin's fault Amon dumped Touko and risked everything he had just to save Robin from HQ then in the heat of the moment while being hunted only two years ago, told her he loved her.
Robin excused herself and went to the bathroom. Touko pulled up her purse and scanned the dinner. Harry wasn't around and the only other customer was some old lady with her back to Touko. Touko then took a small vile filled with green fluid and poured the entire contents into Robin's cup of espresso. 'You are so predictable Robin dear. You never leave a cup of espresso unfinished.' Touko thought to herself as she put the now empty vile back into her purse and her purse back on the bench besides her. She quickly stirred Robin's drink and the green liquid disappeared.
Robin returned and smiled. She took another bite from her small tuna sandwich then finished off her drink as Touko predicted. Touko held back the smile as Robin put the now empty cup down. She put her hand on her head for a moment, for she became incredibly dizzy. Touko asked if she was all right, not really caring but not wanting to act suspicious either. Robin said yes and became no longer dizzy. Touko almost blew it when her face got all mad thinking the poison didn't work.
Touko drove Robin home and Robin went straight to bed. The next morning, Robin felt better, pushed Sundays' events out of her head and got ready for work, going through her morning routine. She shared an apartment with Amon. He was still very uncomfortable about Robin living alone, so in order to keep a closer eye on her, he had her stay at his place. After one year living in his house, she ended up staying longer, because they both liked the company. "Let's go Robin, we're going to be late." Amon handed her coat to her and they headed down to his car. Robin forgot all about Sunday's events and by noontime, she was feeling back to her normal self.
Amon was the new STN-J boss and Michael was free man. When they got to the office, Amon went straight into his office. It was different now. He had different windows with blinds that blocked out everything outside of his office. Around 9am, Robin wandered into his office and flopped down onto one of the large chairs. It was a boring day, so Amon didn't bother reprimanding her to get back to work, not to mention, it killed his heart to have to yell at the one he loved.
"Witch found! Last seen at the old abandoned warehouse at the end the Park Ave and the harbor bay. Powers unknown. Age unknown. Origin unknown. Hunters to hunt with caution…well duh…I'll download the other important stuff to your cell phone links." Michael shouted out as all five hunters ran for the door. It was a hot day, so no one took their coats, not even Amon.
At the abandoned harbor bay warehouse, the hunters split up into two teams; Amon and Robin then Karasuma, Sakaki, and Dojima. After about an hour of scouting, nothing was found. "False hunt guys, witch is off the scanners. Sorry. See you back at base." Michael's voice could be heard on everyone's cell phone headset. Everyone headed back to the cars. They started discussing about heading to Harry's for lunch when Sakaki looked up at Robin. "Robin…you okay? You don't look to good." Amon turned to look at Robin along with everyone else. "Robin…?" Amon reached his hand out to Robin who was now looking paler and was starting to sway slightly. Just as Amon 's hand reached Robin's shoulder, she collapsed onto the hood of his car, totally blacked out. "Robin!" Dojima sounded alarmed as Karasuma went to check her pulse. "It's weak! Someone call base. We need a medic!" Dojima called Michael and told him what they needed. "She's bleeding! We don't just need a medic, we need emergency help now!" Sakaki knelt down besides Karasuma and looked at the ill struck-Robin.
Amon laid Robin flat on the ground in front of his car and looked down at her pale face. Sure enough, bright breed blood was slowly flowing from her mouth and slowly making it's way onto the white collar of her black dress. Her skin was paler then ever and she was cold to the touch. "Robin answer me. Please don't do this to us. What's wrong with her?" Dojima was frantic. "Robin!" Everyone began calling out, one at a time, as the HQ emergency crew arrived and rushed over to where the STN-J were leaning over Robin's limp body. When the medics opened her eyelids to check her eyes, her bright green eyes were no longer bright and green; they were now dull and gray.
All the STN-J were pulled and held back as the medics picked Robin up and loaded her into the van. Dojima grabbed one of the medics by the arm. "What's wrong with her. Tell me!" Dojima pleaded. "I'm sorry miss. We don't know. We are taking her to HQ to be evaluated. You can find out more there. But for now, I must go. Your friend is in dire need of immediate emergency help." The medic jumped into the van and they drove off leaving the STN-J standing in fear that they might lose their friend.
