Blake slowly steps forward into my arms, and before I can think about what I'm doing, I kiss her, it was just a peck but when she recovered from the shock, she kisses me again. I think she's finally going to stay and not run away. But then she steps out of my arms, tears rolling down her face. "Goodbye." She whispers before vanishing into the night. I take after her, running towards her shadows in hopes of finding her, but slowly, I disappear into the darkness and never to be found again…
I jolt up, feeling hot and sweaty.
"Yo, dude, you ok?" Neptune asks from beside me. We were on the airship going back to Vale, then Haven. My team was with me and I was safe. It was just a dream.
I clear my throat, "Yeah I'm fine man."
"Don't buy it!" Scarlet calls out from a distance away. "You've been on edge since you saw Bla-"
"What he means is, are you alright? You've been acting strange since, you know." Sage asks as he covers Scarlet's mouth.
"I already told you, I'm ok." They all give me looks of 'We don't believe you but sure.' I sigh "Guys I'm fine, it'll just take a while to get it wrapped around my head."
"Sun, if you ever need to talk, we're here for you. Remember that." Neptune says, unusually sympathetic.
"Yeah, I just need to do something, I have to, I have to know she's safe and I need to know she'll be alright by herself and I have to make sure she still has her scroll with her! Oh no! What if she left it! What if it's still at Beacon! WHAT IF SHE'S BLEEDING TO DEATH RIGHT NOW AND SHE CAN'T ASK FOR HELP BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T HAVE HER SCROLL!"
"Sun! Calm down!" Neptune frantically moves his hand around, not sure how to help me.
"Well," Scarlet starts. "If you're that worried about her, you could you know, always go after her."
"Scar, you crazy? He can't do that! He can't just leave us! He's our leader." Neptune says in disbelief. He turns to me. "You're not planning to leave us are you? I know you care about her a lot, but, you can't leave us, not at a time like this." Neptune tries to reason, like he already knows my answer.
"Yo, Nep I'm not leaving." I'm lying through my teeth but I can't tell him the truth when he's that fazed. Especially since he got shut down by the big boss Schnee himself.
"I think you should really let her make her own decisions sir, she's old enough to make her own choices that are right." "Oh really? Young boy, I know what is best for my daughter, and right now, I believe it is best for you to leave. I think that you are a bad influence to Weiss. Leave now with your filthy faunus friend and never talk to her again." Neptune nearly explodes but I grab his shoulder and yank him away.
"Don't worry, I already tried going after her, you know how that turned out." I say sheepishly.
'Yeah that you idiotically made a mistake and followed one of her clones to a dead end. Yeah, we heard." Scarlet smirks. Sage rolls his eyes before he drags Scarlet along with him to make something for them to eat.
"Nep, you doing ok? Mr. Schnee hit you pretty hard…" I start.
"I don't want to talk about it. But Sun, please don't leave us, I already lost Weiss- as a friend! - I really can't lose another friend, and my leader."
"Nep don't get all mushy on me." I joke, trying to lighten the mood. He just smiles half-heartedly.
"Sorry. But I know how you feel. I lost Blake as well. I just hope we can all stay safe."
"Yeah." He agrees and just as we fist bump, Sage and Scar come back.
"You guys we'll be delayed by a bit, so we're stopping near the Vale docks. We'll take a rest there." Sage pointedly looks at me. "Sun, promise me you'll try to rest."
I look down, not meeting his eyes. "I promise." Sage sighs.
"Here's something for you to eat. We'll be there soon." I eat slowly, not really tasting anything.
We'll be arriving at the docks soon, please get ready to get off safely.
I sigh. The Vale docks…
"Sun, can I talk to you?" Scar asks right before we go to bed.
"Sure." We walk for a bit before we round a corner.
"You should go after her." Scarlet says.
"What? I can't leave you guys here!"
"Sun, we're not babies, maybe Neptune but Sage and I aren't. We'll be fine. Blake isn't, you have to go after her."
"I'm planning to, but Neptune will be worried."
"I know. But Blake needs you more."
"How would you know?" I ask sharply.
"Woah. Calm down, I haven't been in contact with her, but if the person who hurt Yang's arm worries her that much, you have to think it's someone who's important- or was important to her."
"Fine, when should I go?" Scarlet grins.
"Tonight, Sage already knows your going so put you bag next to mine and Sage's that way Nep won't hear you. But still get some sleep. You'll need it."
"Ok."
We were at the Vale docks, just Blake and me. I had said something funny to make her laugh. I smile and sneakily drape my arm around her.
"Really Sun? You've been doing this for ages you should know I catch your habits quickly." Blake laughs as she dodges my arm. I laugh as well. But all too suddenly, something dark moves behind me. I turn shielding Blake away. A faunus comes out of the shadows, red hair nearly covering his horns, black coat with a rose emblem on it. But the most distinctive feature was his White Fang mask. Blake screams. "Sun! Run! Go! He won't hurt me!"
"Are you crazy? I'm not leaving you here alone with a White Fang member." I take out my weapons and charge, but as I do, his sword quickly comes up and with a quick motion he slices my arm off… I feel my aura deplete.
"Remember my darling, I will destroy everything you love." He says to Blake, but before anything else can happen everything goes black…
I wake up to the sound of my own gagging. I felt like I was dying, who was that? Was that the person who hurt Yang? Ugh. I had to clear my head. Then I remembered what I was planning to do. Well guess this was a better time then any time else. I quietly packed what little stuff I had and headed out, careful to avoid any sleeping bodies.
"Goodbye." I whisper to my teammates. No wonder Blake hated that word.
Not turning back, I have one mission and one mission only: I have to find Blake.
