Remnant of a Fantasy

Prologue

Everywhere she looked, all that Yang could see was an empty stretch of nothingness. Breaking into a run she frantically started to search for something, anything that would tell her where she was, but everywhere she went it was all the same, a blank, white void that seemed to have no end.

"Hello," she called out breathlessly as she came to a stop, "Is anybody out there? Ruby?! Weiss?! Blake?!"

The only response she received was her own voice being echoed back to her.

Taking a moment to recompose herself Yang took several deep breaths to steady her racing heart.

"Calm down Yang," she said to herself, her voice more than a bit unsteady. "It's only a dream. I'll just close my eyes and count to three and then I will wake up in my room at Beacon and everything will be fine."

She continued to calm herself further before closing her eyes in concentration.

"Okay, here goes nothing. One, two, thr-"

"It's your fault," a small voice interrupted.

"Huh," was the only reply she could muster as she snapped her eyes open in surprise.

Instead of an empty void Yang now found herself in a familiar setting. Yang now stood in the middle of a large clearing in the middle of a heavily forested area. She could smell the faint scent of pine wafting into her nostrils as the wind blew through the forest.

Her heart started pounding loudly in her chest once more as deep sense of unease wormed its way into her. She knew this place all too well. This was the forest near the abandoned dust mines on the outskirts of Patch. This was where her father had expressly forbidden her from playing, the place where…

"It's your fault!"

Yang quickly spun on her heal to face the owner of the voice. Looking down, she found herself staring into a striking pair of icy blue eyes set in a surprisingly effeminate male face. The owner of said eyes was a boy no older than ten, who would be considered scrawny and short for his age. His skin was pale and on his head sat a mop of light blonde hair that was both spiky and unruly.

"Cl- Cloud," Yang stuttered out in surprise, "But y-you're"

"Dead," he finished for her, his face a blank, unreadable, emotionless mask.

No sooner than the words had left his mouth did the ground beneath her feet begin to crumble away and Yang began to plummet into the underground lake, saturated with toxic levels of Dust, beneath her.

Reaching out desperately to grab onto anything to keep herself from falling to her doom she found her descent halted as a small hand grabbed onto her own.

Looking up at the small boy who was now leaning over the edge, his face still unreadable, she felt her eyes begin to tear up in grief as she started to apologize to the child that held her life in his hands.

"Cloud, I'm sorry," she sobbed as she begged for forgiveness, "I never should have dragged you out here that day, I'm so sorry Cloud!"

In a surprising display of strength Cloud brought her face closer to his own so she could clearly see the cold-hearted detachment in his eyes as he gave his response.

"It should have been you."

And with that he let her fall.

She screamed as she plummeted into the water below. The last thing she saw as it swallowed her up was Cloud's uncaring gaze.

Yang jolted up right in her bed breathing heavily trying still her rapidly beating heart, her sweat soaked t-shirt clinging tightly to her skin.

"Yang," said a small concerned voice to her side.

She turned to stare into the worried eyes of her little sister.

"Are you okay?"

Yang sniffled as she struggled in vein to fight back the tears that were welling up in her eyes and instead wiped them away on her wrist.

"I'm fine Ruby," she said unconvincingly as the tears continued to fall. "It was just a nightmare."

Ruby looked around the room to the prone forms of their teammates who still appeared to be sleeping.

"You were having that dream again, weren't you?"

"I'm fine Ruby, It's just a dream."

Yang gripped her blanket tightly in her fists. 'Damn it, why am I still crying? I'm stronger than this!'

"Yang that was seven years ago. I'm sure Cloud would have forgiven you."

"Cloud's not here," she all but shouted at her sister the tears now flowing freely.

Ruby looked around nervously as their teammates shifted in their sleep.

"Maybe you should see the school's…" She never finished her suggestion as Yang interrupted her in a fit of rage, her eyes shifting from lilac to red in the time it took Ruby to blink.

"I DON'T NEED TO SEE A SHRINK!"

Weiss and Blake were now wide awake and staring at them curiously.

"Is everything alright you two," asked Blake from the bed below her, her voice both tired and concerned.

"Everything is fine," Yang stated indignantly, "Just go back to sleep and mind your own business."

With that said she turned over on her side, her back now to her sister.

Weiss and Blake were now staring at Ruby in equal parts confusion and worry.

"Everything is fine," Ruby said nervously as she rubbed the back of her head, "Let's just... try to get some sleep. Okay?"

Her teammates were clearly unconvinced but closed their eyes in attempts to continue slumbering regardless. No doubt they would grill her for answers in the morning.

Heading back to her bed Ruby cast one last worried glance at her sister and saw her body shake and quiver as she continued to sob quietly. Yang was the toughest person she knew but right now she was most certainly not alright.

"Wake up…" the sad voice of a young, girl sniffled.

"I'm so sorry, please wake up," the voice called out again to him.

"I'm begging you Cloud, please… You have to wake up, you promised."

Slowly he opened his eyes. Eyes that glowed blue, with an eerie and unnatural energy.
