Chapter 11
Confessions
Richard sat down in the waiting room. Everyone was waiting for Bailey to arrive. The doctor said that Bailey would be able to move after a week, but for now, he had to be moved in a wheelchair. "Wonder what Bailey wants to talk to us about?" asked Nora. Ren shrugged and took a sip of the tea he had brought in. Then, Bailey came in the room with Velvet pushing his wheelchair. "Hey guys." he said. Everyone said hello and Velvet sat down next to Bailey. "So, what did you want to talk to us about?" asked Ruby. Bailey looked around the room. "Where's Blake?" he asked. Ruby looked at Yang, who looked at Weiss. "Let's not talk about that right now." said Yang. Bailey nodded and sighed. "Alright, the thing I want to talk to you guys about is...what happened." he said. Everyone moved uncomfortably in their seats. "You know who did this?" asked Pyrrha. Bailey nodded. "It was Cardin."
Everyone looked surprised. "Why would he do that?" asked Jaune. "I know he's a bully, but he wouldn't try to kill anyone, right?" Bailey shook his head. "It's not like that." he said. "It was because he was trying to protect himself." Now, everyone was really confused. "Wait, you tried to kill him?" asked Rachael. Bailey shook his head. "Yes and no." he said. "Weiss had made a type of dust that would allow me to go into Cardin's dreams. I was just trying to get back at him for messing with Velvet. But, apparently, he thought that it would actually happen and attacked me." Everyone was shocked at this statement. Yang looked at Weiss with a shocked expression. Weiss looked away from her. Richard stood up. "I'm gonna kill that bastard." he said, walking towards the door. Star grabbed his shoulder. "Richard, don't." she said. Richard stopped and looked back at her. "What would you do if you found out who was responsible for putting your best friend in the hospital?" he asked. Star thought for a second and then let go of his shoulder. She then hugged him. "Be careful." she whispered to him. Richard hugged her back and kissed her cheek. "I will. Don't worry." he said and then he walked out of the room. Bailey looked at Star. "Did I miss something between you two?" he asked.
After JNPR, RWBY, and STLR; with the exception of Star; left the hospital, Bailey, Velvet, and Star were waiting for Richard to return in Bailey's room. Star had gotten a message on her scroll saying that he was coming back to the hospital. Sure enough, Richard walked into Bailey's room. "He wasn't there." he said. "His team doesn't even know where he is." Bailey nodded. "Maybe he's coming here." said Star. "You know, to finish the job." Bailey thought about it for a moment, and said, "I would doubt that, but we can't take any chances. I can't fight him in this condition. We need a plan." The room was quiet for a second, then Richard spoke up.
"I have an idea." he said. "But it's risky and we're going to need Weiss's dust skills."
12:00 midnight
Cardin POV
Cardin walked up to the hospital door mace in hand. He had too finished the job so the dream wouldn't come true. Bailey was always in the way anyhow, so he would be making an improvement in Beacon. He smashed in the door to hospital and walked in. The alarm went off, but he didn't care. He stepped inside the hospital and walked towards the elevator. He had been here before and he had memorized Bailey's room number. Now, he hoped that he wouldn't fight back.
Cardin got out of the elevator once it got to the floor Bailey's room was on. He walked down the hallway. He could get the feeling that he was being watched out of his mind. He shook it off and kept walking. Once he reached the room, he opened the door. He saw Bailey sleeping like a rock. The scars on his face were still fresh. Cardin walked over to Bailey's bed. He sighed and took out his mace. "I don't want to do this," he said, raising the mace. "But I must protect myself." He was about to bring the mace down when someone behind him tapped him on the shoulder. He looked behind him and got kicked in the teeth. He flew across the room and landed in a chair. The chair broke under the force and Cardin fell to the floor. Cardin looked up at his attacker. Velvet was in a martial arts stance staring him down. She smiled.
"You really shouldn't have tried that." she said.
"I'll get to you later." said Cardin, wiping the blood from his mouth and getting up. "This needs to be done."
Velvet shook her head. "No, it doesn't." Then, Cardin felt a needle stab into the back of his neck.
Bailey POV
Bailey took the needle out of Cardin's neck. He dropped his mace and fell to his knees. He fell to the floor, completely unconscious. Bailey limped over to his bed and sat down. Richard and Weiss came out from behind the curtains and looked at Cardin. "Well, that was...anticlimactic." said Richard. Bailey rolled his eyes and looked over towards Velvet, who was sitting down next to him. She rested her head on his shoulder and looked over at Weiss, who was running a vital check on Cardin.
"Are you sure that the amnesia potion will work?" asked Velvet. Weiss nodded and wove a scanner over Cardin's head. It beeped and she smiled.
"Well, good news." she said, standing up. "He has no memory of the nightmare or anything else that happened in the past few days whatsoever." Bailey smiled. It was finally over.
