CH:14- The Heavy Cost

Robin's POV:

Here I was standing face to face with the upcoming death. The Cleric who was a stranger to me now was on a point to take me down for good. I had no fear about it now nor I was afraid though inside of me, my emotions were fighting and I had tried so hard to keep them under the control.

The rummors were flying around I knew that very well that I would not be able to hide any longer. It was too dangerous and the risk was too great not just for Preston and me, but also for Partirdge and Mary. The things could not be more difficult if I had not come here at the first place, but I could not take it back, couldn't I? There was only moving on foward and not look back at all.

Brandt's POV:

Those eyes. If anything I had seen in my life could not compare to the eyes that she had. True, they were blue, but not a kind of a blue I saw before. These were a kind of a blue I saw before. These were mesmerizing ones that would leave you speechless just by looking at them. The light in them was overwheling just to look at them. If there was a way, I would gladly have those eyes removed for good but that was not mine to do.

"I guess it is only you and me, Acolyte and it seems no one is there for you to save you now. Af if there was somone then that person would only come too late to see what has been left of once pretty face as yours."

"And why is that?" She dared to ask.

"You do forget one thing that I know what you are actually thinking and all this stories of you reading a human mind really does not shock me, nor I do believe in such state would be actually real."

"Is it that a reason that you are actually have to kill me?"

"You've been long a thorn in my side, Acolyte a thorn that should or should I say has to be removed for good."

"Then go ahead, what is it that is stopping you now?"

"Cause he would be dead if he makes a move." I froze hearing that voice and realized Dupont. What the hell is he doing here?

Robin's POV:

He was busted I c ould easly see it, but he did not need to show it. It was right there written on his face. I coud not see the presence of Dupont, but I could hear him so clearly when he spoke:

"Go home, Acolyte." It was an order and I did so not speaking anything else at all and what had happned afterwards I never knew.

Later that night as I lay down in my bed listening to the fallen rain and distant rummor of the Father's voice I lay awake unable to sleep and thinking about a heavy price I am actually about to pay with my life if I got caught. The phone beside my bed began to ring even in this late hour and without a hesitation I picked up it up. Something was not right.

"Yes?" Then it hit me like the knife going through my heart the news that I had dreaded with all my fear came up like raising storm. Partridge was dead. I could not know how and why did this happen but it simply had and it was so sudden. There were no vitnesses or so I've been told, but I knew there would be a way to find out who didi this and who was that able to take Cleric down?

No answers came dealing with those questions and more that I had been sure to find the answers, the truth would be too far away for me to reach it. It has been days since I had no seen him at all and everthing was going on meant one thing no good at all.

Preston's POV:

I could not face Robin not after I've just done. It was not right and she would nto forgive me for what I've done. I had killed him. My partner I knew for so many years and yet, I had placed a bullet into his head. Robin had to know, but it was not a right time and last look Partiridge gave me was to make sure that I would look after her.

Now the new replacement and new face already was there to take Partiridge's space and no time for grief was there at all. At first, I've learned this new one assigned to me would be nothing comparing to Partiridge has been. My mind swirled back at the final moments with Partridge and my time spent with Robin. I longed to see her again and loose myself in her arms and forget but I knew when I looked down at her I would see him there. The same blue eyes and that ash-blonde hair. There was no doubt they were related and she was all him in female form in both nature and grace. Same eyes that held nothing to hide nor to show if she wanted them to be.

"Please look after her before she is gone too." His eyes spoke to me at one final time.

He might be gone now, btu she was still alive and it was only a time before she was discovered as well and be dead too for to feel was indeed a heavy price to pay.

CH:15- Omerta

Robin's POV:

I've kept having dreams of Partiridge's death over and over agian but I was not there like it had happened. Something like a ghost or his presence was calling to me. Blood was crying for a blood it seemed. At first, I had ignored it, then it only made more worse by each passing day. I simply could not get it out from my mind and not even Prozium was able to help me. It was a time to disappear for a good at least for some time and that peace I've found in the Underground with Resistance and the man named Jurgen.

Through his help I had changed and kept on the fate to keep my promise to Partiridge to stay alive. It was a something that at least I was able to do in a secret and in a devotion for my dead friend, but it was not that long that I've been left alone once more and with Mary's capture only let the downfall.

Preston's POV:

The time spent with Mary turned to be not what I would call a good deed. Still, there was a no sign or a word from Robin either like she had disappeared from a face of earth. I had to find her one way or another. Finally the answer came through but agian it was too late. Wherever she might be now I wanted to know why? Then the hell broke loose.

At first the muders were left ingonred, but they kept coming until the members of high council began to be found dead at their homes or at work. It was a same way they had been killed. An arrow going through their hearts and sticking out at the back. Their eyes open wide in frozen gaze and with not time to call out for a help and each one of them bearing one single piece of paper left on a table beside the bodies with one word:" Omerta" that held no meaning at all, but it told me that it bore a some kind of a sign tht cannont be ingored.

"Who do you think could be behind this, Cleric?" Brandt said as we headed back to Nether. "Thse killings would not go unignored for too long."

I refused to comment a word. Still many things were going on my mind. Mary and now Robin was gone as well.

"Something on your mind?" Again, he refused to be quiet at all.

"Why do you ask?" I dared to ask back keeping my distance.

"Something's bothering you. I can tell that easly."

"Like?" He met my gaze agian.

"Perhaps about a certain Acolyte Meredithm am I close?"

How the hell would he know about Robin and my conection with her?

"Rumors are fying around, Cleric."

"Like what?"

"Since these killings had started she had disappeared from a face of earth. Do you think that she might be conected with them?"

I could not believe what I was actually hearing. Robin could not be a part of this it was not possible at all.

"I mean there are the things we might not know about her but it does not mean that she would have some conection with Resistance. Who ever knows where she might be knows about the killings as well."

No, I could not accept that at all not with the one that I actually cared about. Not with Robin. There were way too many unaswered questions and with Partridge dead, Mary on the way to be burned alive and Robin missing there was no answers. Upon nearing the guard station more things were coming to the place especially when I had been told this by one of them.

"She's been passing through the gate into the Nether every night for the last two weeks."

"It seems the rummors are true after all, Cleric. Should we get her down for good?" Brandt clicked his gun.

"Do you expecting Resistance would to this?"

"I rather be prepared for a reason just in the case. Acolyte or not it means nothing to me and it is the law that has to be done."
