Sadly I realize too late that you can change the chapters whitout delete them, sorry my bad…. well this chapter will be a little shorter because Blake is already in Beacon, but let's enjoy it.
The last thing Blake Belladonna remembered was her holding on to Yang's left hand. She felt horrible and couldn't stop repeating over and over again "I'm sorry." It was her fault that Yang lost her right arm. The wound in her stomach ached, and blood loss had left her weak, but still she refused to be unconscious. More so she had refused to release Yang's hand, but the exhaustion ended up winning.
Blake was unconscious but she still could hear the voices around her. The voices of Sun, Nora, and Ren. As well as Weiss's voice saying that she had found Ruby and Pyrrha unconscious and then… she didn't know what happened.
She had a little headache, and a great discomfort in her stomach, but she slowly began to open her eyes. Blake took a few seconds to recognize where she was and she didn't know how to react. She was in a room, her room, her team's room. She was at Beacon? But How? She tried to sit up in the bed but the wound in her stomach began to throb.
"Your wound may hurt when you move, so be careful."
Blake turned to see the owner of that voice and she saw a girl sitting on the floor. She had short black hair but what caught Blake's attention were the girl eyes; they were purple like Yang's. Actually, she felt that she was watching a black-haired clone of Yang. Same face, same messy hair… same eyes and she began to feel guilty again.
The moment when Adam cut off Yang's arm was engraved in her mind like fire. Adam had done it because the blonde was someone important to her, because she was her friend. Blake turned to look at the mysterious girl and she notice how the girl was building, or finishing to build, something. Who was she? What she was she making? And the more important question, why they were in Beacon?
"Who are you?" Blake said, and the girl began to laugh.
"I was waiting that question." She said. "My name is Mia. I'm a member of team SSMR. Nice to meet'ya."
SSMR… She had never heard of a team with that name and did not remember seeing that name in the Vytal tournament. Blake's attention turned to the ground so she could better see what Mia was building; fingers, a wrist, a palm, a forearm, an elbow. It was an arm, a right arm for be more specific. Why was she building something like that?
"Mia." Blake said. "I need to ask you some questions and I hope you can answer all of them."
"Well… I can't give details, but I'll see what I can do."
"Okay, first question. I know we're in Beacon and this place was being evacuated. So, how did I get here?"
"When the wounded were being evacuated one of my teammates helped me get on the ship and we took you out of there before the gates closed. It was easy because your friends left you alone for a moment and, believe me when I say this, my partner is very fast."
Those words could only mean one thing, she had been kidnapped but… it was strange. She didn't get angry or worried. She felt comfortable with Mia and felt that she could trust her because, somehow, she knew that Mia was being sincere. It was a very strange feeling.
"Now." Mia said. "I want to ask you something, can I?"
"Sure."
"You have very cute cat ears. Why do you hide them?"
That question made Blake to move her hand to her head. Her bow was still there and a new question came to her mind; how Mia know about her ears?
"Personal motives." She answered.
"I see." Mia stopped working on the arm and turned to look at Blake. "To be honest, I would like to have cat ears. They look very cool."
Was it a joke? Mia just said that she wanted to be a Faunus but Blake pushed that comment aside and asked more questions. Why they were in Beacon? And why was Mia building an arm? The second question made Mia go "AH!" and immediately she returned to her job.
"I need to finish this before my sister arrives or… she will get angry with me."
"Why?"
"Because." Mia began to smile and her purple eyes were sparkling with emotion. She pointed at the robo-arm on the floor. "This IS Yang Xiao Long's new arm and my sister is bringing her here. The rest of my team is bringing Ruby and Weiss here, by the way."
After hearing that Blake could have asked many things, but she didn't. Instead she decided to lie down and go to sleep, or at least try. Mia didn't say anything. Blake did not know how much time passed; perhaps seconds, minutes, or maybe even hours. All she could hear was Mia working on the arm… Yang's new arm. Mia's teammates were gathering team RWBY and she should feel happy. She was going to meet with her friends but the truth was that she was scared.
She was scared for the moment when Yang would enter to the room. How Yang will react when she saw her? Would she blame her for what happened? Would Yang hate her? Blake was afraid to discover the answers and she thought about running away.
Run away from Beacon and away from Mia. Flee as far as she could. She knew that, if she stayed with team RWBY, all of them would be in danger. Adam had told her that he will destroy everything that was important to her and everything she loves. Yang was the first in suffer for it. and she didn't want that the same thing happen to Ruby or Weiss. She also didn't want Yang to suffer again but, with Mia watching her, the chances of escape were very low. Closing her eyes she pretended to be asleep, then the sound of construction stopped.
"Listen." Mia began to say. "You're scared. I know it and I really know how do you feel right now."
Know how she felt? That had to be a very bad joke. Mia didn't know anything, about her, about how she felt, or how she was blaming herself for that moment. Blake felt furious. She sat up on the bed and turned to look at Mia with anger.
"What do you know about how I feel?!" Blake cried. "Yang, my partner, my friend, lost an arm and everything is my fault! I'm sure that she hate me right now! She tried to help me and that destroyed her life! You know how that felt!? Destroying the life of someone who is important to you and knowing that she will hate you for that!"
"Of course I know!"
Mia hit the floor with her fists. Her body was shaking. She took a deep breath and continued talking.
"When I was 10 years old, my sister…" She gulped saliva. Her body was still shaking and a few tears formed in her eyes. "S-she almost died. She end up in coma for a whole week and I thought it was my fault. When she woke up I was scared. I thought that she would hate me for what happened but, instead of that, the first thing that she did was hug me. She told to me, "Don't blame yourself, it isn't your fault."
After hearing that, Blake felt horrible with herself. She wanted to apologize to the girl but, before she could say something, Mia grabbed her hands.
"Listen, Blake. Right now you're like me. I want you to think about this. You know Yang and do you really think that she is the kind of person who would hate a friend?"
That question make Blake remember the moment when Yang talked about her mother. She never said that she hated her. Of course she said that she was mad at her and that she wanted answers to why she left her. But the sentence "I hate her" never was mentioned. That memory was Blake's answer.
"She isn't that kind of a person."
Mia smiled. It was not a mocking smile, or an overactive one, it was a sweet and relaxed smile and without a word Mia released Blake's hand and she returned to her work. Blake didn't say anything either. She began to look at her left hand, the hand that had held onto Yang. Right now the faunus had a lot of questions. Why was Mia's team gathering team RWBY? Why were they at Beacon? What exactly was happening? But she decided to wait for answers because, right now, she only cared about seeing Yang.
