But without further ado Chapter 4 of RWBY: Shadow Cat.
Everything was not normal that much Blake knew for sure and this was primarily because of the fact that Weiss, Ruby, and Yang were constantly hanging around him whether it be all together or individually and were always following him to a point where the only safe place for him to be was the boys bathroom as well as used the window in the bathroom to get out because of the fact that they would just wait for him to leave the bathroom
And that wasn't even the worst of it, every time he woke up…Ruby, Weiss, and Yang had their weapons within arm's reach well for Yang…it was literally in arms because of the fact that Ember Celica was always on her wrists…never mind…
Something was wrong and he knew that there was something wrong however what exactly though…was a mystery but he needed space so he decided to go to Vale…but unfortunately when he announced this to them instead of letting him go…they announced that they also had things to do in the city as well which lead his to current situation.
They were currently walking around Vale at this point but Blake was trying his best to remain calm from because of fact that they claimed that they had their own errands to do but instead of doing them, they weren't doing their own things but instead following him around as he was honestly walking aimlessly at the point.
Blake decided to address the elephant in the room and stopped walking too face his team who stopped walking upon seeing him stop.
"Didn't you guys say that you had your own errands to do? So shouldn't you guys be doing them?" Blake asked doing his best to hide the ever growing irritation that was being bottled up primarily because he felt like he was being watched like some kind of criminal and turned back to face the path ahead deciding he had enough of this took out his scroll and accidentally dropped it.
Ruby was about say something however before she could say anything, Blake broke into a sprint and started running away from a now shocked Ruby, Weiss, and Yang.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Yang yelled in shock and the three began running as well chasing after their teammate, Blake quickly turned a corner and continued running as fast he possibly could but shot a quickly glance behind him to see Yang, Weiss, and Ruby chasing after him however what had him concerned was that Ruby was moving a lot faster than Weiss and Yang.
'I can't outrun Ruby; her semblance makes that virtually impossible.' Blake thought to himself and quickly tried to think of a way to lose his teammates and idea popped in his however he was very reluctant to considering how risky it was and because he had never tried it before.
'Let's see if this works…' Blake thought as he activated his semblance but Ruby, Weiss, and Yang were expecting him to try and make clone to confused them however much to their surprise two clones of Blake materialized next to him and ran past each other a couple of times confusing the three huntresses in training.
"I thought Blake could only make one clone?! When did he learn to make more?!" Weiss questioned but no one answered as they reached an intersection and the three Blake's went down a different path with one Blake going left, another going right, and the last one continued going straight.
"Yang you go left! Weiss you go straight! I'll go right!" Ruby ordered and the two of them nodded as they reached intersection themselves and went in the directions they were told to go in following a Blake of their own.
Blake continued to run down the street but Weiss was following him and this caused him to jump onto a lamppost and leapt off onto a nearby rooftop of a building prompting Weiss to create a glyph and upon stepping on it was launched herself into the air and landed on the rooftop that Blake had jumped onto and continued chasing after her teammate, Blake glanced behind and saw Weiss still pursuing him prompting him to jump onto another one causing Weiss to create another glyph to launch herself onto the rooftop as well.
They continued doing this for a while until Blake reached the end of edge a rooftop and leapt off back down onto the ground prompting Weiss to do the same but when she landed, she didn't recover right away while Blake rolled forward and broke back into a sprint so that he could put as much distance between himself and the heiress as possible.
'Curse my poor endurance!' Weiss mentally cursed as she unsheathed Myrtenaster and stabbed the rapier into the ground creating a glyph and causing a trail of ice too head directly towards Blake who was about to leap back onto another rooftop but the ice caught up to him before he could make the leap and caused him to nearly fall over as his legs became encased in ice.
Weiss got up and tiredly walked over at Blake and upon reaching the Faunus, shot a very dangerous glare at him.
"Blake why are you running?!" We're trying to help you!" Weiss yelled but Blake didn't respond as he dematerialized telling Weiss much to her annoyance that she had instead captured a clone and not the real Blake.
"SERIOUSLY?!" Weiss yelled in anger however she fell to her knees with exhaustion catching up to her from using so many glyphs and chasing the clone, Weiss started coughing as she tried to catch her breath…she really needed to work on her endurance.
"Damn you...Blake!" The heiress said exhaustedly.
"Blake come back!" Ruby pleaded but Blake didn't respond as he continued running away from the red cloaked reaper and quickly turned right running into an alleyway but when he did accidentally slid into a wall when he stepped into a puddle but managed to recover and continue sprinting away but in a flash of rose petals dashed forward and ran along the same wall that Blake had crashed into and jumped off it towards Blake.
Ruby rammed into Blake however just when she thought that she had finally caught her teammate, Blake had dematerialized causing her to roll forward and crash into some garbage cans. Ruby slowly got up and looked at herself to see that she was now covered in garbage much to her dismay and disgust.
"Aww come on!" Ruby whined in disgust as she reached for the top of her head only to grab a rotten old banana peel and pull it off her head, Ruby threw it away in disgust and let out a heavy sigh.
"I really hope that Yang and Weiss are having better luck than I am." Ruby said dejectedly.
"BLAKE STOP RUNNING! WE'RE TRYING TO HELP YOU!" Yang desperately yelled with concern filling her voice but much to her dismay, Blake ignored her words and continued running eventually turned a corner running into an alleyway however he came to a violent stop when he saw a large wall blocking his way causing him to turn around as Yang eventually catch up to him.
"Blake, why are you running from us? We're trying to protect you!" Yang said as she walked over to her partner and upon reaching him put a hand on his shoulder however the moment she did, Blake dematerialized telling her that the Blake that she had cornered was actually a clone.
"Damn!" Yang cursed, she was honestly annoyed that she had chased the wrong Blake but that annoyance was soon replaced with concern prompting her to take out her scroll and call Weiss and Ruby, there was a ringing noise until Ruby and Weiss answered much to Yang's relief.
"Yang? Did you find him?" Weiss asked prompting Yang to let out a heavy sigh at her failure to find Blake.
"No…the Blake that I pursed was a clone…." Yang said with disappointment filling her voice, why had Blake run from them when they were trying to help them.
"Damn. Unfortunately the Blake that I had given chase to was a clone as well, Ruby? What about you, did you find him?" Weiss asked but she didn't answer and instead Yang and Weiss from both ends of their scrolls heard the reaper muttering the word "disgusting" over and over again into her scroll.
"Rubbles?" Yang said slightly confused on why her sister was saying "disgusting" and when Ruby her name being called again, she quickly responded.
"Oh well…um, the Blake I had chased was also a clone…" Ruby said rather sheepishly earning a very long pause of silence from both Yang and Weiss in order to try and process this new information.
"Wait but Blake made two clones, where did the third one come from?" Yang asked however she quickly decided to dismiss this question and focus on the situation at hand which was finding Blake.
"Never mind, we need to find Blake and the only place that I think he might be going is Tukson Book Trade." Yang said earning a quick "Yes" from Ruby and Weiss before they hanged up, Yang put her Scroll away and quickly ran out of the alley that she was in.
'I finally got away from them.' Blake thought to himself after his successful attempt at escaping his teammates, he continued to walk down the street however he came to a stop when he felt his ears twitch under his hat prompting him to turn around and grab the hilt Gambol Shroud ready to draw his blade however he saw nothing.
'Maybe running from Ruby, Weiss and Yang wasn't a good idea' Blake thought to himself, he just had to abandon he team. Blake continued walking making sure not to remove his grip hand from Gambol Shroud's hilt and keeping his eyes trained on his surroundings and the rooftop until he finally reached Tukson's Book Trade.
Blake began knocking on the door rather impatiently but when he didn't receive a response started knocking again.
"Tukson! Are you there?" Blake yelled however much to his concern received no response prompting him to knock again this time harder however when his fist collided with the door it caused to slowly and rather eerily but before he could enter the store, a scent had entered his nose…it was something…metallic.
Blake immediately unsheathed the Blade of Gambol Shroud and transformed the sword into its pistol form; he carefully pushed the door open and pointed Gambol Shroud forward scanning everything in front of him but didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
"Tukson? Are you in here?" Blake called out at he carefully walked into the bookstore keeping his weapon aimed forward as he continued to move forward however he came to a stop when heard the sound of him stepping in a puddle prompting him to slowly look down and what he saw made his eyes widen in fear.
It wasn't a puddle of water…it was a puddle of blood and he reluctantly had his gaze follow where the small pool of blood lead and what he saw made his heart stop in fear, Tukson was lying in what looked like a destroyed bookshelf with his body being covered in multiple slash marks and bullet holes, some of the holes still had blood seeping out of them. Blake began retching quickly putting his hand over his hand to keep it shut, Blake ran out the store and closing the door behind him as he exited the store.
Blake continued to retch but finally managed to stop as he turned back towards the door and fell on his knees.
'Tukson…' Blake thought to himself in agony, Tukson was the only person that he could go to when he was in trouble and now he was gone…Blake punched the door in anger.
"WHY?!" Blake yelled in anger, he didn't get it! Why were they doing this?! It made no sense for them to be killing their own kind!
"Isn't it obvious, brother? The White Fang doesn't tolerate traitors and you know that I don't tolerate them either." A new and familiar voice said causing Blake to freeze as the anger that he was feeling quickly changed to fear, Blake slowly turned around to see a man wearing a black suit with red designs leaning on a light post in his right hand was a sword with a red blade and in his left hand was a sheathe.
"Good to see you, Blake." The man said as a rather dark and terrifying smile formed on his face.
"Adam..." Blake said in fear.
Sorry for the cliff hanger.
