Heyo everyone! Back with another chapter for OFL's! I hope you all enjoy this next one!
Fallen Shadow69- Going with Morphine I couldn't tell you why, for some reason I felt like going with that for Ruby. For Pyrrha finding out Ruby this way was one way I wanted to do it, I know it might seem sudden but things like that do have consequences.
RatesRSuperStar87- Secrets don't help, and yes Weiss will learn.
TBH4- Thank you! Last chapter I mentioned Blake had a son? I haven't mentioned anything about Blake's kid up until recent.
Celestialfae- All of your questions you will learn in the future, for if I answered any of them it would be spoiling.
L - How long will this fic be? Oh, as of right now I am going chapter by chapter. I have a beginning, middle and an end planned. What happens in the middle changes almost every chapter. So to answer your question, maybe around 40 or so chapters? I can not promise that, but that is my plan.
Hope you all enjoy!
"Pyrrha?"
"Yang?"
The blonde gave a sigh, running a hand through her hair. "What are you even doing here?" She asked. "I…" Pyrrha turned looking at the redhead who laid in the bed. "I found her… listen I… she's your sister isn't she?" Yang chuckled, the laugh wasn't a full hearted laugh… more of a relief laugh. "Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about her… this is kind of why. Not that i'm disappointed in her… just it's a bit hard, I guess." Pyrrha nodded in understandment, watching as Yang went to the other side of Ruby, resting her hand on the girl's forehead. Yang watched the girl's chest rise and fall, almost checking to make sure she was still breathing. Pyrrha felt a pang in her chest, why? She took a deep breath standing up from her chair, being here… didn't feel right to her anymore. Not right anymore?
"I think I should take my leave now, I have somethings to take care of." Yang looked up from Ruby giving Pyrrha a smile, she walked around the bed giving the girl a hug. "Thanks Pyrrha… you don't know how happy I am someone found her, someone I actually can trust right now."
"Yang?" The blonde shook her head, pulling away from the girl. "Just go, thank you again." Pyrrha nodded before walking out of the hospital room. She sighed stuffing her hands into her pocket before walking down the hall, something however caught her eyes halfway down.
Evelyn Izaiah. She bit her lip rocking on the balls of her feet
She sighed shifting on her feet to be more in front of the door, she knocked on the door waiting for a reply from the occupant inside. Once she heard a 'come in' she opened the door, spotting the doctor at a desk, covered in papers. "Ah, . What brings you here?" Dr. Izaiah asked slipping her glasses off folding them up, she gestured to the seat across from her for the girl to sit in. Pyrrha did take a seat hiking her leg up. "I… wanted to talk to you about a few things...about uh Ruby…"
The doctor hummed leaning back in her chair. "What about her?"
"Why tell me those things about her… you know you could've lost your job for doing that?" chuckled resting her elbows on the armrests. "I do know that, I have been working as a doctor for years." Pyrrha sighed raising an eyebrow. "Then… why me? What's so special about me?" She asked, still a little confused as to why the doctor had bestowed the information on her. "You remind me of someone she used to know, someone who tried to help her… but had their own secrets. Like I said before, she self consciously went to you for her own reason, sometimes I don't know what is going on with that girl… but I do know a part of her 'trusts' you," Dr. Izaiah paused. "And I can see that some part of you cares about her… even if you won't admit it." Pyrrha shook her head.
"I don't want to get involved with someone knowing something I shouldn't even know yet, that's a personal boundary that shouldn't of been crossed." Pyrrha said frustrated a little. "I realize that it was a lot, and maybe I shouldn't of told you… but Ruby needs someone… and I get that you only met her once…" The doctor sighed rubbing a hand over her face. "Why not her sister…"
"Huh?"
"Her sister… you know what, just forget everything I said… I need to go…" Pyrrha got up from the chair ignoring the calls from the doctor. She exited the office closing the door behind her. She stuffed her hands in her pockets, standing there for what felt like forever. The girl sighed again before looking down the hall towards the entrance of the hospital, should she go…? Then she looked down the hallway towards Ruby's room, seeing Yang talking to Qrow… or should she stay? 'What good can I do here? Knowing something that wasn't really supposed to be known.' She bit her lip looking down towards the floor, she shook her head making her way down towards the entrance. She was angry, so many emotions… so many thoughts…
Weiss growled clutching her head, her foot tapping constantly. Tap tap tap tap tap tap. She huffed taking a few deep breaths, she felt sick. Sick sick sick. The girl slammed her hand on the wood table, her foot tapping faster and faster. "Sad…" Weiss shook her head getting up from the table quickly, a little too quickly making her dizzy. This caused her to fall over, she gripped the kitchen counter before sliding down to the floor. "Shit…" She muttered her head spinning, thump thump, thump thump. She coughed feeling bile rise in her throat, she covered her mouth letting her hand aimlessly reach up, trying to get up from the floor.
She slowly rose from the floor her knees wobbling, but no matter how hard she tried her knees gave out letting her fall to the floor again. She coughed again harder this time, throwing up the contents of earlier in the day. She continued to cough, soon having nothing else to throw up. She huffed leaning back against the counter, looking up towards the ceiling.
Think please… for me… for Ruby
A laugh echoed in her head. "That's your biggest concern…that girl…" It said with a venomous tone, obviously angry. Weiss just sat there, her chest rising and falling as she took deep breaths. "I'm trying to protect you, and all you keep doing is shut me out." Weiss took a shaky breath letting her head rest against the counter. "Shut up…" She whispered closing her eyes. It laughed again, the heavy feeling disappearing slightly on her shoulders. Her scroll buzzed making her groan, it was on the island just a few feet away from her. She slowly forced herself up from her position, making her way to the counter. She held onto the edge picking up her scroll, she read the ID her heart stopping for a quick second.
"Yang?"
"Hey Weiss, how are you?" Weiss turned around resting against the counter. "I'm fine, did… you find her?"
Yang hummed on the other end, before sighing. "Yeah, she's in the hospital. I was calling to see if you wanted to meet me here."
"Yeah, I'll uh…" Weiss paused taking another deep breath. "I'll be there in a few, I just need to take care of something."
"Alright, I'll be here. Our uncle is here so, take your time… she's not even awake." The scroll clicked silencing. Weiss held the scroll for a few, thinking. She wasn't in the best mind state to drive, even if she tried there was a chance she would get into accident. She opened her scroll going through her contact list before she came across a name. She clicked on it waiting for the person to answer.
Soon a voice answered to the call. "Hello?"
"Hey, Neptune… I uh… need a ride." Weiss replied waiting for the man to reply. "You need a ride Weiss?" He sighed. "Fine, I'll come pick you up." He said before the line cutting off.
Blake slipped the ear buds out of her ears, looking over to Velvet. "You know you don't have to drive the whole way, I could always take over." The bunny faunas chuckled shrugging. "I have no problem with driving, plus it's been awhile since it was just the two of us." She said grinning towards the girl, seeing said girl roll her eyes. "You sure Coco can survive without you?"
"That girl can survive without me for a day or two, she knows how important this is… for the both of us." Blake nodded wrapping her headphones around her phone, putting it in the cup holder. That was true, it was important for the both of them. It has been years since Velvet had seen Glynda ever since she moved south in California. In fact for all three of them, they all had wanted to stick together so they moved south together keeping close to one another. "I'm sure Sun would've loved to come with us." Velvet said pulling off into a gas station.
"Yeah he would've…" Blake said as the two exited the car. "Want anything? I need to pay for gas inside." Velvet asked looking at the pump, a small taped on it. Blake hummed leaning against the car. "Yeah, maybe a water?" Velvet nodded, she went across to the entrance slipping inside. Blake hummed crossing her arm over her chest, she looked up towards the sky catching a few clouds slowly.
"What shapes do you see in the clouds?" Yang asked poking at the girl's book, as her head was in the girl's lap. "Shapes...huh?" Blake set her book to the side, she looked up through the branches towards the clouds. "I see…" She hummed shifting her head to the side a little.
"I don't know…" She said after a little, earning a chuckle from Yang, shifting a little. "Well… if you look towards that one," She said pointing towards a large cloud. "Doesn't it look like a big teddy bear." Blake raised an eyebrow, before she tilted her head to the side looking at where Yang had pointed. "Oh… I see it…" The cat faunas confirmed smiling.
"See?" Yang said smirking up towards the faunas, Blake smiled down at the girl. "Thanks Yang."
Yang hummed raising an eyebrow. "Huh? For what?"
"Being you."
Blake smiled at the memory, being interrupted by her phone ringing. She raised an eyebrow at the number, not recognizing it at all. "Hello?"
"Hey, Blake." The voice… she knew that voice too well. "Adam?" Blake looked towards the store window, seeing Velvet talking to the person at the counter. She turning facing her back to the store. "How did you… why?"
"Listen Blake, that doesn't matter. Are you ok?" Blake sighed. "I'm fine Adam… why… how did you even get my number?" She asked.
"Where are you?" He asked ignoring her question. "Adam!"
"Blake, don't make me ask again." Blake growled pinching the bridge of her nose. "I'm in Oakland, not too far from Sacramento. Now answer my question." She said quickly glancing back towards the store for a split second. "I have my ways… so you're not in LA anymore? With Yang?"
"No, with Yang?" She asked hoping that the blonde didn't do anything irrational. "She came by a few days ago looking for her sister, I told her the truth."
"That is…?"
"That I didn't know, but I found out she's in the hospital. Ran by and I only saw a few familiar faces, none being you." He said giving a sigh.
"She's in the hospital? Adam what did you do?" Blake practically shouted, earning a few glances from the other people at the gas station. "I didn't do anything, I brought her to Roman and she got what she needed. I didn't realize how fucked up she was after!" He argued back.
Blake shook her head running a hand through her hair. "God damn it, I knew I should've stayed."
"Why did you leave in the first place?" He asked, she wanted to say that she needed time. That she couldn't deal with the stress. Sighed she leaned back against the car. "I wanted to see Kaori, to make sure she was fine… I'm thinking about bringing her back with me… thinking."
"Thinking? Blake… you haven't even told Yang about her, maybe that's a good idea because as of right now she's going through a lot. I don't want her coming over here beating my ass for it either."
"I can tell her if I want to! I just need time… I'm her mother."
"Well I'm her father! I don't want Yang knowing about this, that-"
"You stop right there before you dig yourself a grave, It's my decision to bring my daughter home. Not yours."
"You really want to fight about this right now, Blake? Do you think Yang would just welcome you with open arms after learning about this kid?"
"No, I don't think she will and I hope she doesn't! I hope she hates me for it, I hope she screams at me, does something! I just want her to know, I'm done telling lies. I'm done hurting the one's I love." She said before clicking the end button. She gave a sigh before wiping her face of any tears. "You ok?" Velvet asked watching the girl spin around. "Uh… yeah. I'm fine, ready to pump some gas?"
Velvet stared at the girl for a bit, before nodding. "Yeah yeah, I'll get it." She said rolling her eyes, when she turned around Blake took a deep breath pocketing her phone. She needed this, wanted this. This was the only way.
Ooh more things are being revealed, slowly. This is the pain with slow burns, slowly. Yeah this is fun, I however am trying to pick things up a little to get the progress moving. Hope you all enjoyed, and I'll see you all next week!
