Thank you for reminding me, other then that I am still looking for betareaders for this please message me if your interested. Enjoy!

Ch.4 Waiting It Out

There were only 2 rooms available and each only had 2 beds so it was pretty obvious who would be rooming with who. Once they got their stuff dropped off in their rooms they decided to have a walk around the building From the outside, from what they could see anyway, it looked pretty small but as they walked they found it was longer than it was wide. Blake said she wanted to lay down and rest, that the cold took it out of her, so the other three decided to head off and get something to eat. On there way to find the dining room the three stumbled onto a indoor hot spring. "Oh we have to do this." Ruby said opening the door to see the size of the area the hot spring took up.

"Yeah but not without Blake." Yang said leaning on the doorframe looking over her two teammates. "So lets go eat first then we can." The two girls looked at each other and Wynne nodded first followed closely by Ruby.

"Yang, there is something wrong with Blake isn't there?" Wynne asked turning to face the older blonde. Yang could only nod at first, playing the incidents again in her head. The first one on the train, she had pretended to be asleep and she really was until Blake started thrashing in her seat. At first Yang just thought it was a nightmare, she had started having them ever since the lab, but once she started talking and calling his name she started to worry. Yang looked up to the faunus and shook her slowly.

"Honestly, I can't really tell. If there is something going on with her she is hiding it really well, but on the other hand they way she has been acting since we got on the train says something IS bothering her."

"Should we talk to her about it, maybe that would help?" Ruby asked walking towards the door and out of the hot springs area. Yang thought about this as they walked towards the dining room and the awaiting food.

"No I think she will just deny it, and plus I trust her to come and talk to me if something was ever bothering her, she has before." They had walked into the room which was set up buffet style and started getting food as they talked. Wynne was standing next to Yang and Ruby was in front of them both grabbing every cookie she could.

"You two really grew as friends huh?" Yang thought back of all the times they had sat and talked about anything that was bothering the fanus.

"Yeah with Dante gone I wanted her to still feel loved, though in a different way then he made her feel." Wynne listened as Yang explained how she had helped Blake through losing Dante for the second time and every step along the way to her feeling like herself again. "It was not easy, and a lot of it was trying to keep her from retreating into herself or completely breaking." Wynne and Yang had found seats as Ruby was still grabbing as much food as she could in one go. "We just kinda got closer as time went on." Yang turned and looked over her shoulder to her younger sister. "And Ruby has you now." When she turned back Wynne could see, really see, Yangs caring she has for the whole team for the first time. "And she will always have me but right now she does not need me and Blake did." Wynne reached over and lay her hand on Yangs.

"I can tell you miss him too, and there are nights when I miss his voice telling me good night. He has always been with me and these last 5 years have been the toughest of my life without him." Wynne felt a tear come to her eye and when she realized Ruby was on her way back she quickly wiped it away and got to eating. Yang had already started in on her food and by the time Ruby had sat down next to them.

"So when are we hitting that hot spring?" By the time the two of them looked up to answer Ruby, she had finished all of her food in one go.

"No matter how long we'll be together, I will never get used to that." Wynne said through a laugh.

Blake had went to the room to lay down and try to clear her head and the second her head hit the pillow she was out. Her body was telling her it was tired but her mind was saying the exact opposite. Even though she was asleep her mind was running, thinking over the mission, the things that have been happening to her, and as always how much she missed Dante. Her dreams were always the same but this time something strange happened. She was sitting at cafe style table, like the ones at her favorite tea place, but everywhere around her was white. The first thing she noticed was that the chair across from her was empty but after looking around it was filled. There he was sitting there just as she remembered him with a smile on his face and a book in his hands. She wanted to say something but she could not form the words and as her vision started to blur from the tears in her eyes she felt something behind her. She turned and to her surprise the white room was replaced with nothing, it was as if her chair was sitting at the end of the world and a black nothing filled behind it. When she turned back Dante was no longer there, he was replaced with a beautiful woman who had blonde shoulder length hair blue eyes and was in a white dress. Blake was caught in her gaze for a minute and when it finally broke she tried to speak again. The woman put a finger to her mouth in the widely known quiet motion, after the motion she lay her hand on top of Blakes. The touch calmed Blake completely and even though she had no idea who this person was she felt safe with her nearby. Blakes eyes started to feel heavy and as she closed her eyes the last thing she saw was a smile one that seemed so familiar to her. She slowly started to wake as her team made their way into the room, and for the first time in a long time she felt completely rested. She sat up in the bed and stretched as Yang went digging through the bags they brought. "Sleep well?"

"Best one in awhile." Yang smiled and looked up from her bag.

"Good then you can come relax with us at the hot spring." She said throwing Blakes towel at her which connected with her face.
