Garnet was dreading this as she stood before the door into the lunch room.
"Please let them not talk a lot" Garnet pleaded
Garnet entered the room and found familiar blonde hair which she walked towards.
"And here she is" Yang said "This is my friend Garnet"
"Hi" I said and sat down
"I'm Ruby, Yang is my sister"
"Blake"
"I'm Weiss"
Garnet's fists clenched a bit as she put two and two together. Her mind flashed back to her family and what caused her hatred for Weiss's family.
Garnet didn't respond.
"Everything alright?" Yang asked
"I'm fine" Garnet answered in a dark tone
"Not buying it"
"Believe what you want" Garnet replied
"Come on, you're too pretty to be angry" Yang flirted
"We're here too" Ruby muttered
"Sup?" Garnet asked
"Um…"
"Alright this is too awkward, come on. I bond through fighting" Garnet ordered and got up
Once Garnet reached the combat hall she turned around and saw nobody followed her.
"Motherfucker" she muttered
Garnet turned back around and walked toward the center of the room, needing to blow off steam.
"Mind if I spar?"
Garnet turned around and saw that all of RWBY was there and sweating a bit from running after Garnet, it was Blake who asked the question.
Garnet smirked "alright"
Garnet and Blake stood across from each other, ready to fight. Blake drew Gambol Shroud and Garnet had nothing.
"She doesn't have a weapon?" Ruby asked Yang
"Guess not, I've never seen her with one" Yang answered
The fight began.
Blake fired off six shots at Garnet. Garnet was fast so she was able to dodge five of the bullets but not the sixth which was heading right for her. Loosening the string that made up her body let Garnet tighten the string that made up her teeth and let her catch the bullet right in between her teeth which she spat out.
"Sooo cool" Ruby swooned
Garnet loosened her teeth and tightened up the rest of her body so she wouldn't be vulnerable. Garnet rushed at Blake and tried to deliver a kick which Blake blocked with Gambol Shroud's blunt side. After pushing Garnet back Blake delivered three slashes while Garnet tried to get away and form a strategy.
"Alright she has good attack, defense, and speed not to mention reaction time. I'm gonna have to catch her off guard. Wait a minute, that smell….she's a Cat Faunus. I can work with this easily"
Garnet turned her entire right arm into string and started waving it at Blake. Blake couldn't take her eyes off of it, she wanted to play with it so bad.
"I give up" Blake said and went back to her team muttering about something
"Who's next?" Garnet asked as her arm turned back to normal
"I am" Weiss said as she stood
As soon as Weiss was ready, Garnet rushed at her. Weiss used her glyphs to slide forward and deliver a slice right into Garnet's gut. Right as Myrtenaster landed Garnet turned the part of her body into string and the string held tight onto the rapier. Weiss tried to pull out but Garnet wouldn't let her. Garnet tightened the string the made up her fists and let loose a barrage of extremely fast powerful punches that knocked Weiss out of the ring. Garnet pulled Myrtenaster out of her and turned her body back to normal. With the rapier in her hand Garnet walked towards Weiss menacingly. The memories of what Weiss's bastard father did to Garnet came back to her and fueled her rage. Weiss looked up to see Garnet had Myrtenaster over her head. It came down right in front of Weiss and landed in the ground.
"I'm done for the day" Garnet said and retreated to her room
Once Garnet got back to her room she crashed in her hammock and breathed out a sigh of frustration.
"I should've done it"
Back in the sparring hall, RWBY was discussing Garnet.
"Yang, is Garnet sane?" Weiss asked angrily
"Of course she is" Yang responded
"How much about her do you really know?" Blake asked
"I know she saved me, I'd trust her with my life"
"She doesn't seem like a bad person" Ruby meekly added
"It's not exactly normal to be made of string" Blake put it
"And being able to create clones of yourself is?" Yang asked
"Nice burn" Ruby whispered and bumped fists with her sister
"She tried to kill me!"
"Your family isn't exactly on every Faunus's Christmas list Ice Queen"
"Wha-" Weiss said in shock
"Dammit!" Yang yelled and punched the wall in anger about letting the secret slip
"So she is a Faunus?" Blake asked as her suspicion was confirmed
"What kind?" Weiss demanded to know
"Uh- that's not important" Yang stated
"Vampire Bat" Blake stated and got questioning looks "She had fangs that were slightly red"
While Yang was undergoing a barrage of questions, Garnet was across town.
Garnet likes to visit the orphanage in town once a week. It's always the day after she feeds just to be safe.
"Garnet!"
A wave of orphans rushed at Garnet as soon as she entered the orphanage.
"Hey guys" Garnet smiled and knelt down to eye level with the kids ranging from two to sixteen.
Garnet spent eight hours at the orphanage doing anything she could to help out. Garnet fixed torn stuffed animals and ripped clothes, washed dishes, made dinner, anything to help. Once all the kids were asleep in bed, Garnet was left with the woman who ran the orphanage.
Sno Amethyst was only seven years older than Garnet who was the first orphan Sno took in. Sno and Garnet talked in the main room or the orphanage while Garnet was working on the Christmas present she had been working on for all the orphans. Garnet had seven out of twenty of the six foot quilts done, they all had the words 'family isn't always blood' embroidered on them and would always be warm due to being made out of Garnet's aura.
"How have things been going for you dear?" Sno asked
"I'm being dragged into a group of people I don't really like"
"Why don't you like them?"
"One is way too naive, another is the Schnee heiress, I kinda like the third but the fourth...she drives me crazy" Garnet explained
"This wouldn't happen to be the same girl you told me about last week would it?"
"N-No" Garnet blushed
With a sigh Sno responded "Garnet you may be a great liar but nobody can lie to me"
"Yes it's her"
"I get the feeling she's more than a friend to you"
"I'm not sure she's even a friend" Garnet answered
"You sure seem to get worked up when talking about someone you don't like"
Garnet only blushed in response.
"You've never had to tell me that you don't like guys, I pay attention dear"
Garnet stopped knitting, blushed harder, and looked away.
"I don't even know that much about her okay? I just know what she looks like, she's funny, she had three friends, and she has tasty blood"
"I'd suggest spending a day with her, getting to know her and deepening your bond"
Garnet let out a slight smile.
"And one more thing Garnet, put aside your pride and feelings of unworthiness. If you do that you can't lose. Also I feel I must repeat, LET HER IN! Just be nice!"
Garnet knew everything was true but it was just too hard for her.
"I can't" Garnet clenched her fists
"Why can't you?" Sno asked
"I should be heading back" Garnet responded
"You can run away from me all you like Garnet, but not your feelings"
Garnet left without responding.
Garnet now sat on the tallest rooftop in the shady part of Vale. Garnet's eyes were locked on the stars, making pictures out of them.
A blood splatter, a triangle, a heart.
"Dammit!" Garnet yelled at that last one and punched down, her fist leaving a dent in the roof
"Why do I feel this way towards her?" Garnet asked herself "She's loud and annoying and nosey and careless and cute….Please tell me I didn't just say she was cute"
Garnet fell backwards onto the roof, needing a break.
"Fuck" she muttered
"Her lips were so nice and soft, and I loved touching her…"
"Dammit!" The dent in the roof now became a hole "Ah shit"
Garnet extended her hand to the opposite rooftop and now sat there to avoid trouble.
"Should I kill her? The feelings would go away then"
"Alright next time I drink from her, I'm gonna drain her" Garnet told herself but knew she couldn't do it deep down
The city was mostly quiet except for the sound of a motorcycle. With her enhanced sight, Garnet could tell it was Yang.
"Showtime" Garnet smiled evilly
