Tenth chapter already, and I'm doubting that I'll be able to make it longer than my other stories… anyways, here is Chapter 10….

After that night, I stayed away from Weiss and she did the same to me. I knew she was sorry, but trying to kill me was taking it too far. Whenever our classes came by she had no choice but to sit next to me. She'd begin to sob quietly, so no one could hear, but thanks to my Faunus heritage I could hear her clearly… and I regret hearing it. I felt so bad for the white-haired girl, but those thoughts of her newfound hate towards me kept on forming.

One day, I decided to ask why Weiss hated me for caring for Ruby, even though she is a killer. "Do you really want to know?" she asked.

I nodded.

"Remember that day when I asked you who you had a crush on?"

She did? Oh wait, she asked me that a few days before I got injured… before we went to the restaurant… before all of this happened.

Flashback…

Weiss entered the dorm and sat next to me. I didn't feel like talking since I was reading a book, so I avoided making conversation with her. Instead, she asked me something that no one had ever asked. "Blake… do you have someone you care about?"

My eyes widened, but I regained my composure quickly and lowered my book to face her. She was waiting for a response, but mentally, I was shocked to even give her one. Weiss, the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, the girl who acted cold to most others was asking me if I had a crush. I quickly shook the thoughts out of my head and replied with a light red glow on my cheeks. "There is one girl in particular… she's so nice and caring."

"Who is this girl you speak of?"

"I can't really tell you, but it's someone we all know."

She thought for a second, but she gave up and replied, "Can you please tell me before—"

Ruby barged into the room with Yang behind her and she announced to the two of us, "Team! We are going to get some combat training done in the Emerald Forest and everyone needs to come!"

I smiled while Weiss groaned. "Let's get going, shall we?"

I didn't want to tell her at the time that I loved Ruby and now I realized that she did have a crush on her, too. I stared at the ground and said in regret, "I'm sorry Weiss… I didn't know—"

She stopped me before I could finish apologizing. "Just promise me one thing after all of this?"

I looked up and stared at Weiss. "What is it?" I asked.

"Make her happy and keep her safe for me?"

I nodded. "I'll do my best Weiss… is this the reason why you hated me, because Ruby fell in love with me?" She nodded and began to cry. I pulled her into a hug and comforted her. "There is going to be someone for you someday… Ruby can't be the only person you have special feelings for."

She gazed at my amber eyes and asked with hope present in her voice. "Really?"

I nodded again. "I may not look like the girl that knows much about relationships and crushes, but I know at least thing or two about them."

She smiled, but it immediately turned into a frown and she buried her head in my chest. "I'm so sorry for what I did to you… what I did to Ruby. I think she hates me now."

"Just make sure not to do it again and welcome Ruby with open arms when she comes back."

"Back at the restaurant, when I told her she was the killer, I wasn't lying about it. I honestly didn't want to turn her into the police, but I was so worried that if we let her go and they find out we would all end up in jail… maybe with a life sentence." I wanted to say something but she continued. "I wanted to do what was best for her and for all of us, but my jealousy for you two came back and I began to show no sympathy for her on accident. I didn't mean to make her cry or call the cops… I swear."

I hugged her tighter. I was so angry at her because of her actions at the restaurant, but all of those things she did were on accident? I leaned my head in her ear and said to her softly. "I forgive you." She gasped and stopped sobbing for a second and stared at me. Tears were falling off my cheeks, but I smiled at her. "It's okay Weiss… I understand."

She cracked a smile. "Thank you so much Blake."

We jumped and pulled away from each other when we heard Yang's voice. "I know it's great and all to see that you girls made up, but I got something to tell you two."

I regained my composure and asked, "What is it you want to tell us Yang?"

She looked like she was hesitant to tell us. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke up. "I got a message from Ozpin. He said that we will be sent out to find Ruby tonight at seven-thirty."

I looked at the clock that sat on a desk behind us. Six-thirty. Only an hour away. "We are not going to hurt her seriously. If she runs or refuses to surrender… we just convince her or tackle her to the ground."

Everyone looked at me, but I didn't care about that. My thoughts were on Ruby only… what would she do when we found her? Would she just surrender without a fight? Multiple scenes kept forming in my head, from us killing her to her being forced to kill us. I just hoped tonight would end well and no one got hurt…
