Chapter 7: Shadow and Lilith
"SHAAAAAAADOOOOWWW!" Yelled Phoenix waking me up. I look over and see Snow, Ghost, and Phoenix looking at me with there arms crossed.
"I thought you guys said you guys were over the prank." I said hoping down from my bed.
"Oh we are over it." Said Snow.
"What we want to know is..." They all turn around and point at Lilith. "Who is she and why is she here?"
I look at Lilith and see she's scared so I walk over to her and take her hand giving a reassuring squeeze. I turn back to the guys while holding Lilith's hand. "This is Lilith." I say. As soon as the guys look at her she hides behind my back.
"That doesn't explain what a little girl's doing here. At a school that is dangerous." Says Ghost irritated.
"Calm down and I will explain." All of a sudden there is a knock on the door and Snow goes to answer it.
"What." Asks Snow irritated.
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Says Yang as she looks past him and see's the tension in the room. "What's going on here?"
"Shadow was about to explain something to us."
"What about?" Asks Ruby. Snow just moves aside and let's all of team RWBY in. He closes the door and Yang sees Lilith.
"Aww and who is this little angel?" Asks Yang walking up to me and Lilith.
"I was just about to explain that." I say. Me and Lilith go over to the bed and everyone follows. "Okay. Remember how I went missing for a day?" Everyone nodded. I proceed to tell them what happened at the house and after I finished they were silent.
Snow was first to break that silence. "So this girl's parents were killed by a man named Torchwick?"
"Yup."
"And you let him get away?"
"Nope."
"So he's dead?"
"Nope and before you ask why. I was busy seeing if I could save at least one of her parents. Instead she ended up like me. No family."
"Wait! You don't have family?" Asked Yang.
I got a sad look on my face. "No. I don't. They were killed in front of me when I was young by the same people who took me away from them. Now I'm gonna go for a bit." I stand up and look at Lilith. "Want to come Lilith?" Lilith nods and hops off the bed taking my hand. We both walk out of the room.
"Wow. I didn't know he had such a ruff life." Said Yang feeling a little guilty on bringing up the subject.
"That's not even the worst of it. He only knew his family for a total of 30 Minutes. And his parents didn't know he was gone because the UNSC made a clone to take his place when they took him." said Snow who knew about my past.
"I'm gonna go check on him." Said Yang as she gets up and leaves the room.
Does she have feelings for Shadow? DAMN! WHY DOES HE ALWAYS GET THE HOT ONES?! thought Phoenix.
Yang looked around but couldn't find me or Lilith anywhere. She checked the roof, the Gym, the cafeteria, but couldn't find us. She was just about to give up when she heard music coming from the hanger with the pelican in it.
"Water grey~ Through the window~ Up the stairs~
Chilling rain~ Like an Ocean~ Everywhere~
Don't want to reach for me do you~ I mean nothing to you~ The little things give you away~
And now there will be no mistaking~ The levees a break'n~
All you've ever wanted~ Was someone to truly look up to you~
And six feet~ Underwater~ I do~"
Yang follows the music and sees me and Lilith on top of the pelican with Lilith lying on my lap while I sing.
"Hope decays~ Generations~ Disappear~
Washed away~ As a nation~ Simply stares~
Don't want to reach for me do you~ I mean nothing to you~ The little things give you away~
And now there will be no mistaking~ The levees a break'n~
All you've ever wanted~ Was someone to truly look up to you~
And six feet~ Underwater~ I do~
All you've ever wanted~ Was someone to truly look up to you~
And six feet~ Underground now I DO~"
Yang sits there listening to me as the solo for the song plays but decides to let me finish. The song has the first two different parts play and I start to sing the third one.
"All you've ever wanted~ Was someone to truly look up to you~
All you've ever wanted~ Was someone to truly look up to you~
All you've ever wanted~ Was someone to truly look up to you~
All you've ever wanted~ Was someone to truly look up to you~
All you've ever wanted~ Was someone to truly look up to you~
All you've ever wanted~ Was someone to truly look up to you~"
Yang sit's there dumbstruck at how well I sing. She claps and I turn my head and glare at her. "Nice singing. That was amazing! Where did you learn to sing like that?" She said.
"You aren't going to say a word about what you just saw or else." i stated sternly.
"Are you kidding me. It was awesome! Why didn't you tell me you could sing?"
"Yeah a singing soldier. not the best combo." I said while still starring at her but with a softer expression.
"You still didn't answer my first question. Where did you learn to sing like that?"
"Don't know. Just can." I said as I felt Lilith shift on my lap. I smiled down at her.
"I still don't get one thing." I turn my attention to Yang. "Why don't you just put her in a foster home or something instead of taking care of her yourself?"
I frown at what she says. "Because no one could understand what she's been through except for me." I look back at Lilith. "Besides. She looks like my little deceased sister. I also promised to look out for her."
Yang understands and hops up on the pelican and sits next to me. After what seemed like forever Yang finally said, "Sorry for bringing up your family back in the room. I didn't know you didn't even know them."
"It's fine. You didn't know." She looks at me and sees me trying not to cry.
She leans over and embraces me in a hug. "It's okay to cry sometimes." After she said that i couldn't hold back the tears anymore. One hit Lilith waking her up. She looks up to me and sees me crying. She gets up and hugs me too. Both trying to comfort me. And it was working. Is this what it's like to have people care for you? I thought.
Okay, okay. I know it's short but this is all I got for now. Another one will be out Friday. So good to be back and learn of this new way to type.
