Heya guys, so yeah this is the second chapter...
I want to be a huntress. Those words, written on the bored, were so unexpected to Weiss. She had assumed long ago that Neo was bad, and that nothing could change that.
To see those words written up there was a relief to Weiss, maybe Neo was telling the truth... Maybe she wasn't here to kill her. In her relief she dropped her rapier to the floor.
CRASH!
Neo spun at the sound, deploying her umbrella as she did so, expecting to find Weiss, or another member of her team, ready to fight. Weiss stared at the umbrella, terrified that she had doomed herself.
Glancing around Neo saw no immediate harm and decided that it would be safe to put her weapon away. Sorry, she wrote, I guess I was expecting you to attack me...
"Its ok," Weiss smiled, "If you have truly changed, I would love to help you."
A flash of emotions flooded over Neo's face before settling on uncontested relief. She picked up Weiss's sword and went to hand it back to her.
BOOM!
Part of the warehouse wall flew inwards towards Neo, knocking her unconscious. Before she blacked out she saw the signature colours of team RWBY standing in the gap.
Neo awoke staring at the ceiling in an unfamiliar room. It had rows upon rows of clean white sheeted beds, most of which had people in them. Turning her head to the right she could see her umbrella, locked in a sealed case.
This is where the good guys go to heal, Neo decided. The bad guys had one too but it was much dirtier and smaller. I have to get out of here, before anyone recognises me. She struggled to sit up, the headache causing her to sway. She didn't get far, not because of the head injury, but instead by the leather straps that had been tied against her hands.
Given two to three days Neo was confident that she could break through them, but she didn't have days, she assumed that she had minuets, Ozpin or the general would be here soon to extract as much information as they could. Cinder had told her takes about the terrible things that they did to their enemies behind closed doors.
This was it, her attempt to befriend Weiss and find a way into Beacon had failed, her own plan had got her here.
Neo sat there, she thought about how pain felt, how she would react, how long she could last, who could/would help. Maybe Roman will take me back, I don't want to go back but...I don't want to die either.
A door to her left opened and she saw Ozpin striding in. This is it, my end she thought. Ozpin stopped at six other beds before managing to reach her. During the time Neo had time to study the group that accompanied him.
First, to his left, was Glynda one of Cinder's worst enemies yet when they drew close she went to stand by the door.
To his right was the general, his face full of rage everyone he looked in Neo's direction. She couldn't blame him, her work had killed many of his men and she had personally stole the equivalent to an armies work of weaponry and amour.
Behind them trailed team RWBY. Ruby avoided looking at Neo for the whole time until she finally had to stop at her bed. Weiss managed several apologetic glances in Neo's direction, at least she had one friendly face here. Blake didn't seem to look at anyone, preferring to read her book and comfort Weiss. Yang wanted to kill Neo. It was obvious from the moment she stepped into the room. Her eyes were liquid fire, searing Neo. Neo was scared, Yang was powerful, the only reason she could win before was because Yang was predictable and easily out-manoeuvrable, in a bed, strapped up, all Neo could do was stare back.
"So this is Neopolitian? A thief, killer, kidnapper and all-round 'bad guy'" said Ozpin, reading a small folder at the end of her bed. Neo suddenly burst into tears. "Come on Neo... Do you want to know why your still alive? Why your tied to a bed instead of locked inside a cell for the rest of your life?"
Neo nodded, glancing towards Weiss for help. She motioned towards Weiss's jacket picked. Weiss thrust her hand into her pocket and found a small piece of paper. I can't really speak with people I don't trust, it read. With a small motion towards the headmaster Neo convinced Weiss to hand him the note.
"Hmm interesting, this will complicate things a bit..." he walked over to Neo's arm, he looked at it for a second then proceeded to untie it.
"Sir!" Yang cried "She'll kill you!"
"Yang how else are we going to communicate with her?"
"I don't know but s-"
"Are you confident in your ability to protect Vale?"
"Yes bu-"
"Then you should be fine protecting one man." Ozpin finished the first arm then proceeded to untie the other one. "So let's ask some questions..."
"I have one," said Yang as Ozpin handed a pad of paper and a pen to Neo. "Why did you kidnap my friend?"
Ask her, She pointed at Weiss
"Weiss?" Ozpin said "What do you know?"
"All she told me was that she had broken up with the bad guys." Neo motioned for her to continue, "Oh she also was talking about wanting to be a huntress. That was all I could get before Yang knocked her unconscious." She scowled at her teammate.
"Hmm so your wanting to become a huntress? Hmmm... Is there anything you can tell us about their base?
Neo shook her head, I promised that I wouldn't tell a soul and I never break my promises.
"Hmm I'll have to think about this. Don't leave this room or we'll assume you have went back to Cinder. Ok?" Neo nodded and smiled at Weiss who seemed to have relaxed a bit.
"I know why your really here Neo. I'll catch you even if Ozpin can't..." said Yang as they turned to leave. What am I going to do, Neo thought to herself and she settled down to wait for Ozpins return.
I hope you liked it and if you feel like reviewing it and giving me some feedback that would be greatly appreciated :D
