Chapter 2
When Robin woke up with her head on Fox's shoulder, she immediately sat up straight and looked out the window again, trying not to blush. She could tell that Fox and Rabbit were trying not to laugh. Rabbit was trying so hard her face was turning red. "Go ahead, I don't want you to pass out." Robin said, keeping her eyes on the window. The two burst out laughing. The car came to a stop, and the driver said "Here's your stop, questers. Good luck!" so they grabbed their bags, watched the car drive off, and headed to the train. Fox quickly paid for our tickets, and they hopped aboard. For a while, nobody said anything, then Rabbit broke the uncomfortable silence. "So, Robin, you still haven't told us about your past." "Can I please not talk about it?" she asked, not meeting their eyes. "No. We told you ours, now you tell us." Fox said stubbornly. "Fine," Robin sighed. "But it isn't a happy story. It starts down in Salt Lake county, Utah. My dad mistreated me, and was arrested more than once for child abuse. He never wanted to get married, so when Hel left me to him to care for, he took out his anger on me when I was around three. Mostly he just used an old canoe paddle, but when he was really angry, he would use forks and sometimes knives." the two began noticing pale scars all over her. "When I was five, I finally realized that running away was an option. I gathered my strength, collecting the little food that I received, and was about to hit the roads when a troll broke down the door of the house and started attacking my dad. As much as I hated him, nobody should die the way he was." Robin's eyes were clouding. "That troll was stripping his skin off and eating it. I used my powers. The skeleton of a few animals rose up out of the ground of my neighbors' and my house's yard. They came in and scratched the troll, then carried him away. But before he went, he said to me, 'Remember me and this day, how easily I broke in and could have killed your so called father.' then he was gone. I called 911, and said that a man in all black came in and started cutting him with a knife. After he got out of the hospital, he blamed me for the accident. I guess it technically was, since I'm a demigod, but then he got out the knives again. I couldn't stand much more, so before he could do anything, I pushed him. It wasn't very hard, but he fell backwards and hit his head on the tile. It must've cracked his skull, because he never got back up. I called 911 again. When they arrived, they told me he was already dead. I hit the roads. After a year of living on the streets and fighting monsters, a group of demigods on a quest found me. Their camp name's were Seal, Tabby, and Frog. they finished the quest with me, but on the way back to camp…" Robin paused and took a shaky breath. "On the way back to camp, Fenrir the giant wolf found us. Tabby cast an invisibility spell on me and told me to keep running north-west. I heard their screams as Fenrir tore them apart slowly, and I heard the wolf's laughter in my head. Then I arrived at camp." her voice cracked, and a tear fell from her eye. "That's why I didn't want to talk about it." she turned and looked out the window. "Wow… Robin, I'm so sorry." Rabbit said softly. She stiffened a bit, not wanting their pity. "Yeah, I mean, if that happened to me..." Fox trailed off. "If I meet Fenrir or a troll again, they'll pay." Robin murmured, before falling asleep again. "That girl sleeps a lot." Fox commented. Rabbit smiled and said "Yep." Then they hit a bump in the tracks, and Robin's head hit the glass, but she didn't wake up. The captain's voice came up on the intercom system. "Ladies and gentlemen, we're on a very bumpy part of the tracks, so I suggested holding on to something." as if to prove his point, there was another bump, and Robin's head hit the window again. Fox tilted her head onto his shoulder again with Rabbit smirking at him. "De jà vu like." she grinned. "Shut up." he said, but couldn't help a smile.
^^^Line Break!^^^
Robin snapped awake, looking around wide-eyed. "Whoa there, it's just us." Rabbit, said, holding up her hands. "Hell-hound. Big as a house. Coming to kill us when we arrive." Robin said with a wild look in her eyes. Then she blacked out, falling on their laps. Fox looked at Rabbit. "Okay then..." they hefted her back up into her sleeping position. Then started discussing battle plans for the hell-hound.
In Robin's Dreams...
"You think you've won, puny demigod?" Fenrir's taunting voice echoed around the cave that Robin was in. "No. Not yet. But I will. You and your brothers will be destroyed, just as you destroyed my friends." she said calmly and confidently. "Your so called 'friends' thought you were an annoying nuisance and only took you in because you were a demigod!" he snarled, appearing at the other side of the cave. "That is not true, and you know it. Fenrir, I know your weakness. When the time is right, I will find you. And when I do, I swear by the gods I WILL kill you without any mercy whatsoever." Robin stared at the wolf with her one silver and one green eye. "Ah, but I know your weakness also. Don't get your hopes up on killing me, the gods found it hard. You will find it even harder." Fenrir said, getting to his paws and stalking towards Robin. "Feel my fur, girl." she did. It was matted and mangy. "That is the dried blood of all the enemies I slaughtered. Very soon, your blood will join my fur." Robin looked right into the glowing red eyes of the wolf and said, "Do not underestimate me, Wolf. I am not that scared little girl who ran away when we first met. I am the last survivor of the war. The last reminder. The last daughter of Hel."
Okay, so, something is definitely going on with Robin, but what could it be? Hmm... tell me what chu think in a review! Cookies for reviewers! (::)(::)(::)(::)(::)!
