Ok, before you start reading this will probably be a long chapter (at least to me I think) and there will be some uncomfortable things that some of you may not like. I guess it's pretty much a trigger warning. So here you go…
Weiss did cry over her hair the next night. It took Yang thirty minutes to cut Weiss' hair so it didn't look all chopped in places because she cried every three minutes. Blake had already felt horrible so she had been carrying Weiss around the school so she didn't rip her stitches but to see the heiress cry over her snow colored hair was almost too much to bear.
Yang managed to make Weiss like her hair after tying it up into a half pony tail with a white ribbon. Though she ended up looking like Penny a little bit but it was ok. Yang crimped her hair to make it look different and she took a picture for her and sent it to Adam. He approved of it but probably because he wanted the heiress to be happy.
Friday morning came and Weiss just stared at the ceiling. She let out a big sigh and suddenly Blake was on her bed in a heartbeat. It wasn't because she was tired of waiting but because even though Blake hadn't fought with her anymore but her leg hurt and so did her pride. She did her best to patch everything up Blake like hanging out with her while she cleaned the whole mess hall alone for her detention.
Ruby helped Weiss wash off because she wasn't allowed to get her leg wet for another two weeks. For some strange reason Ruby didn't make things uncomfortable like she normally would which made her happy. Weiss would just stare at her leg realizing how ugly that scar was going to be and it kind of depressed her. She already had one scar on her face and that was bad enough.
They all headed to their first classes together as Blake carried Weiss on her back. Luckily they had most classes together and if Blake wasn't with her Ruby was. They walked into Professor Port's class ready to be bored for the next two hours but he wasn't in there yet. Instead they all saw Brad, one of Adam's best friends. Blake sat Weiss on the desk and he greeted them both.
"Hey."
"Um, he sent me to tell you a message."
Brad handed her a red folded up paper and sighed. He leaned in close so only she could hear.
"Your family doesn't know anything about your relationship with Adam yet but they raided our camp. No one was arrested and we actually moved most of our stuff out before they bombed the place with red dust."
Weiss' face turned white.
"Oh and there is good news. You can read it in your letter. We look forward to your cooking soon too," he said smiling making Weiss actually smile.
"Well thank you…"
"I like the short hair. I bet it's easier to fight in and doesn't weigh your head down. My sister had really long hair and she complained about it all the time. See ya later," he said smiling.
Brad had left and Professor Port walked in holding a giant stack of papers.
"Hello class. I had copied these earlier but for some reason they were missing. Everyone get seated! Class is beginning now."
Weiss decided to read her letter after the school day was over. She tucked into her jacket tightly and did her best to pay attention. For some reason her leg was throbbing badly and it was almost too bad to bear. She grimaced a sharp pain hit her and she felt something running down her leg. She looked down and saw there was pus and blood. That was enough she passed out and fell out of her seat.
"Weiss!"
"WEISS!"
She had blacked out.

Weiss stirred from her sleep some time later with her leg killing her. She let out a cry and jerked from the sudden sting. The nurse got up from her desk and checked Weiss' leg and grabbed a needle with some clear liquid in it. Weiss was getting ready to pass out from the pain again.
"Hold still and this will kill your pain ok?" the lady said and Weiss stopped moving the best she could.
The needle didn't bother Weiss but her leg did. Suddenly her leg felt warm then it numbed up.
"There. If you want you can call your friends down here, it's already four PM. It seems you had some dirt in there even after I had cleaned it out but you'll be ok. You have a slight fever but it is nothing to worry about. I have some medicine for you but I want you here for the night just in case. I had to pull your stitches out and redo them so you might be sore for a while."
"Oh."
"Don't be too down. At least things are fixed with your friends right?"
Weiss nodded.
"Well, I put everything on your desk right there. Tell your friends you want some food because I really don't have anything here."
"Thank you, ma'am."
Weiss picked up her jacket and pulled out the note she was going to read earlier. His handwriting looked slightly better than it had been.
Princess,
I'm sure Brad told you what I wanted him to tell you. I took your advice and we helped get thirty members into regular society. I am hoping to get down to twenty soon. I think it would be best to disband completely but I have some other things I want to take care of first.
Message me when you get this I miss you Weiss.
I love you
-Adam-
Weiss picked up her scroll and saw that Adam had messaged her thirty times. She dialed his number and waited while it rang.
"Weiss? What happened? Blake messaged me and-
"I'm fine now. My leg just got infected."
"You haven't been taking care of yourself?"
"It was the wound was deep and had more dirt. Nothing big."
"I miss you and I'm worried about you."
"There's nothing to worry about. I miss you too."
"Are you ok? You sound down."
"I have a lot on my mind."
There was silence.
"It's your family isn't it?"
"Yeah. And some stuff I need to tell you but I'm afraid too."
"It can't be that bad."
"But… it is."
Weiss sighed. Her past would come back to haunt her and she would have to tell her family eventually.
"Can I come see you? I know you can't come out and everything with your leg as it is."
"I would love that. I have to spend the night here though."
"I figured as much."
"I'll call you in the morning ok? I love you Adam."
"I love you too Weiss. Don't worry yourself sick ok?"
"I won't."
Weiss hung up and stared at her scroll. She sighed.
I just can't deal with everything right now. I hate this. I hate myself for getting cut too.
She stared down at her leg annoyed by the sight of it. It was angry red now from having to been cleaned and re-stitched.
"Hey."
Weiss looked up to see her teammates standing there smiling.
"Hey guys."
Ruby held up a picnic basket and Yang held up a couple fountain drinks.
"We wanted to feed you and everything. We know you're staying the night here."
Weiss smiled and nodded.
They spent the next two hours eating and talking until the nurse shooed them away. Yang and Ruby left first taking the empty picnic basket and heading back to their dorm room for the night. Blake stayed behind looking at her feet. Weiss gripped her scroll afraid of what Blake might say but she would listen anyways. She couldn't really blame her.
"Um… Weiss?"
Weiss looked up to meet teary yellow eyes.
"What's wrong?!" she cried in disbelief.
"I'm so sorry! It's just I'm guilty for a lot of things and it made me mad because if I would've treated him better he would be giving me the same treatment as you!"
"Blake I'm not mad anymore."
"What?"
"I had the chance to stand up for myself and someone I care about. It's going to be a long road for my relationship with Adam. I'm more bummed about my leg."
Blake hung her head.
"Don't worry, it'll heal."
"Weiss…"
"I said it's fine."
Blake looked up at the heiress who was smiling at her softly.
"Go get some rest," Weiss said.
Blake nodded and gave her a hug then she left.
Weiss looked out the window at the broken moon. She wondered… What would Winter say? Winter didn't have boyfriends at all. She was felt like she was more professional that way since she was in the military. Weiss rubbed her face and laid back. She needed some more sleep.
Weiss' eyes flew open and she looked around scared. Where was she? It was hot and it smelled nasty but the smell was very familiar. She realized she was back at home in that horrible hunting grounds her father had set up. She looked down and realized she wasn't a child but her seventeen-year-old self; what was going on?
"Hello?!" she called out but there was no answer.
"HELLO!" she yelled and still nothing.
She pulled out Myrtenaster and began walking cautiously. Something wasn't right. She would never come back there in a million years and yet she was there. She was probably in the middle of it like before. She started shaking; she was beginning to fill up with fear as she stepped forward.
Shhhttttsssss
She whirled around… she knew that sound.
"I'm very disappointed Weiss."
Her father's voice.
"Letting that Faunus trash touch you."
Weiss' eye twitched.
"He's not trash!" she yelled, "I love him!"
"I would never accept a Faunus grandchild!"
"I don't care because I want to do for me and what makes me happy!"
"You don't know what you want! Prepare to die traitor!"
Weiss began running- she knew what he was going to do.
She heard the footsteps coming towards her. The drug crazed Faunus he had made were coming after her.
She heard growling and sticks snapping. She whipped around and threw up her rapier in defense. Her eyes widened in fear at the zombie Faunus before her.
"You- you I killed you when I was little! How-
The lion Faunus snapped and swiped at her as dead flesh fell off his arms. The smell was horrible she wanted to puke. She sliced his head off and the body fell to the ground. Her dress was now covered in the rotten blood.
"Father!" she screamed as she fought off a tiger Faunus next.
She was angry for what he had done and what he was doing now. She needed to defeat him and end the atrocities he had started and forced her through.
Suddenly a giant glyph unique to Weiss alone, appeared and the giant knight came out.
"What-
"Erinn! Attack!"
Weiss had climbed up the knight's arm and sat on his shoulder as it brought its sword down cutting down the forest around them. Suddenly her father appeared with a horde of summoned Faunus.
"I'll end this!" she screamed and the knight lunged forward.
Weiss sat up and realized she was on the floor covered in a cold sweat.
"Miss Schnee! Are you ok?!" the nurse cried running into the room.
"I don't…" Weiss touched her forehead in confusion and she had a fever again.
"You're burning up! Let me get you some more medicine!"
The nurse picked her up and put her into her bed. There was blood all on it and her stitches had popped open again.
The nurse made a fuss for an hour fixing her leg and hooking her up to an IV. Weiss was visibly shaken by the nightmare she had. Weiss just sat there confused on the hell had happened- why would she dream about all that after all this time? The nurse shook her head as she wrapped up Weiss' leg to help keep the stitches together.
"I used heavy duty ones this time. I'll let you go to your dorm if your fever goes away ok?"
Weiss nodded and looked out the window lost.
What is wrong with me?

Adam began walking through the field that was between the school and the forest. He couldn't wait to see Weiss any longer. He was angry at Blake for hurting his girlfriend but Weiss was apparently taking it with stride. He picked up his scroll and looked at it but there was no message from Weiss and that worried him.
He saw Beacon coming into his view and his heartbeat quickened. He loved her so much and he was excited to see her. Every time he thought about her his heart would race and his mind would just go to daydreaming. Adam took a deep breath and continued towards the school smiling thinking of the heiress.
As he made it up the statue out front, there stood Ruby and some boy with blonde hair. They looked like they were having an intense discussion about something and Ruby threw her arms into the air and the boy started laughing. Ruby looked over to see Adam coming closer and she gave him a smile; he gave her a small smile back.
"Hey, Adam."
"Hey, Ruby… you think you can take me to Weiss?"
"Of course I can! She just called me and she has been released from the nurse finally. She had an accident this morning but it's ok."
"What – what happened?!" he said grabbing Ruby's shoulders.
"She broke into a fever and fell off of her bed but I'm sure she's fine. Let's go and we can talk alone the way," Ruby said smiling.
"Ok."
"Bye Jaune!"
The two made their way inside the school starting off in the entrance hall and began walking across to the other side into the mess hall. Ruby hummed along the way making Adam stare at her like she was strange- which she was anyways. He found it odd she was so young and she was the leader of their team. He looked ahead as he saw an orange haired girl running with a giant plate of pancakes.
"GO NORA GO!"
"DAMNIT WE WANTED SOME OF THOSE!"
"GO NORA GO!"
"RUBY SHUT UP! YOU TWO NEED TO SHARE SOMETIMES!"
Ruby giggled and they let Nora pass them down the hallway to the stairs up to the dorms.
"So… Um… I know who you really are," Ruby said glancing at him.
Adam stopped in his tracks, "She told you?"
"No. I guessed it on my own. She knows I know though."
Adam just stared at the girl.
"I'm perfectly fine with it," she said smiling.
Adam relaxed a bit, "Oh. Um ok… Good."
They finally made it to the hallway to the infirmary and as they made it closer to the door Ruby began to slow down. He stepped forward to grab the door knob but Ruby moved so quick it threw him off. She grabbed the front collar of his shirt and made him stare into her serious silver eyes. They were almost touching noses.
"I am her partner for the next few years and I will do anything to protect Weiss like she would for me. I will never hesitate to mess you up if you hurt her. This has nothing to do with the fact you are in the White Fang- I will end you if you so much even hurt her feelings understand? "
Adam nodded rather alarmed by Ruby's mood change.
"Ok! Let's go in then!" she said cheerfully and let go of him.
Ruby opened the door. Inside Weiss was getting off the bed to go to the restroom. She smiled at Ruby but her smile got even bigger as she saw Adam walk through the door. He was wearing black jeans and a gray shirt making her smile at the casualness of her outfit. Ruby picked Weiss up and started off to the bathroom with her making Weiss' face turn red with embarrassment.
"Be right back," she called from the bathroom.
Adam smiled and sat down on Weiss' bed. He could smell her blood in the room.
After five minutes he could hear rustling in the bathroom. He heard frantic whispers and some sounded like sorry… He got up and headed towards the bathroom door. He gave a light knock and it got silent on the inside. He couldn't hear anything but then he heard extremely low whispering.
"Damnit Ruby!" Weiss hissed, "I came in here to pee! He's probably thinking I'm pooping!"
"It's a normal body function Weiss! I had to pee too!"
"Then you could've taken me out there! It hurts to move my leg!"
"Well I have to watch you pee so you can watch me pee!"
Adam busted out laughing and Weiss shrieked on the inside. Ruby opened the door and smiled at him with a pink face.
"He thinks it's ok Weiss just relax!"
Adam looked in and saw Weiss sitting inside the shower seat they had built into the shower. Her face was as red as Ruby's hood.
"Hello princess."
Weiss covered up her face in shame making him laugh more.
"What's wrong?"
"Just take me to my dorm room please."

Adam carried her through the halls until they reached the dorm room. Ruby opened the door and they all stepped inside. Adam almost let go of Weiss from the shock of what he saw. Blake had a large, green dildo in her hand and Yang had a ball gag in her mouth and tied to the bunk. Ruby screamed and ran back out leaving the couple staring at them.
"Did you forget to put the sock on the door?" Blake asked staring at Yang.
"Mmmpf mmf!" Yang tried to say.
"Was there a sock?"
"Wow cares! You could've texted us!" Weiss cried covering her eyes.
"Um… Are you guys done?" Adam asked turning red looking away.
"No not really. Can you come back in an hour?"
Adam and Weiss nodded. She reached over and clicked the lock then they headed out.
"Um… are you hungry?" Adam asked and Weiss nodded.
They headed outside and waited for the next Bullhead to come for the ride to Vale. They didn't say anything to each other considering Weiss was still embarrassed from earlier and her face was still pink. Coco and Neptune actually showed a couple minutes before the Bullhead showed up and they agreed on a double date again as long as Weiss got to go buy a new outfit.
The whole ride Weiss was quiet but Adam did talk to the other couple and seemed their relationship had gotten better since he last saw them. Weiss just ran her fingers over her hurt leg. She wondered if she was going to be able to fight again with her leg like that. She thought about her dream she had.
She actually went against her father. She stood up to him and she was in a middle of attacking him when she woke up on the floor. She called the knight Erinn. What an odd and normal name. I wonder if I should really call him Erinn… I guess being a knight he would be a guy. I like the name actually.
Adam took her hand and squeezed it.
"Are you ok?" he whispered.
Weiss nodded.
They got off of the Bullhead and headed to the nearest boutique which hadn't been destroyed. Adam carried Weiss on his back not caring one bit they were looking at women's' clothes. He sat her down onto a little cushioned chair they had then him and Coco went to work looking for dresses for her. Coco picked out a black dress with red trim and Adam picked out a dark blue with white ruffles.
"I like them both so much! I can't decide!" she said staring at them both.
"Buy both! You have the money," Coco said smiling.
Weiss nodded and she did pay for both.
They allowed Weiss to change and she choose the black and red to wear. She was never one for dark colors like that but she liked it. It reminded her of something that Ruby would wear. She slipped it on and Coco handed her a pair of red flats to wear with it since heels wouldn't be a good choice with her leg as it was.
Adam picked her up and the two couples headed to a little coffee shop that served breakfast. Adam sat her down on the chair and scooted her in then took his seat. Neptune pulled out a seat for Coco and then sat down beside of her. Adam got milk, Weiss got coffee, Neptune got orange juice and Coco got a strawberry smoothie.
They spent two hours at the coffee shop then they headed home. Weiss was glad Adam was actually enjoying his time with Neptune and Coco. The Bullhead landed and they all got out. Weiss smiled as she saw Velvet and Cardin walking up to the Bullhead next to go out. They all waved and Coco gave Velvet a hug before they left.
Adam carried Weiss back up to her dorm and this time they knocked before going on in but there was no answer. Weiss turned the knob and the door opened up. There was no one inside this time and Adam proceeded to go in and set Weiss down on her bed and turned to her smiling. Weiss' heart practically melted when he smiled.
"I'm glad we finally can be alone."
WHHHHHHHATTTTTTTTTTTTT
"I want you to rest your leg and have a moment. Would you like to lay on me?" he asked laying down on her pillow.
She nodded blushing furiously. He pulled her up and she laid her head on his chest.
She liked this- she could hear his heart pounding in his own chest. Was he nervous? Was he happy? She couldn't tell but it was nice. She went to close her legs and she felt something weird and hard on her legs. Adam twitched a little bit and his heart skipped a beat. What was-
Weiss' face turned red realizing what it was.
"Um… I'm… I'm sorry-
"No it's not your fault. I'm a guy and I find my girlfriend incredibly attractive."
"Oh."
"I won't act on it unless you want me too but I won't because you aren't ready and also your leg."
Weiss lifted her head up and looked at him.
"I love you so much," she whispered.
"I love you too Weiss," he said smiling.
The door swung open and Weiss looked around to see Ruby standing there.
"Oh- you're cuddling. I'll go."
Weiss nodded and smiled. Ruby locked the door and closed it.
They laid there like that an hour talking about small things that made them both laugh and even got into a debate about but it was nice. Adam enjoyed how intelligent Weiss was and how much she thought outside the box. He brushed her hair out of her face and kissed her.
"You're so wonderful Weiss."
"I'm glad you think so," she said giving him a kiss.
"What's been bothering you?" Adam asked.
Weiss' heart nearly stopped in her chest.
"What?"
"You've been out there lately. I can tell through the look on your face and your texts."
"If I told you, you'd leave me."
Adam raised an eyebrow at her, "It can't be that bad."
Weiss looked at him and started crying shocking him to the core.
"Weiss-
"Everything! I-it was so terrible! I-I-I can't believe s-s-someone would ever put their daughter through it and he did! My mother let him do it! I didn't want to do the things I did! I didn't want to die!" she cried burying her face into his chest.
"What?"
"The hunting grounds! They- some twisted sick game he came up with!" she cried.
So she is the girl who saved me.
Adam hugged her tight and she began crying harder. It took her ten minutes to finally calm down but she did with some hiccups. He smoothed down her short hair and wiped away her tears. He went their restroom and grabbed her some toilet paper to blow her nose on while she regained some composure.
"We all go through some horrible things but it won't make me leave you. I love you."
Weiss wiped her nose and looked up at him.
"How can you be like that? Do you even have any idea what I'm talking about?"
"Slightly… but we all do things we have too to survive."
"I hate my father."
Adam looked stunned but he had an idea she did have some loathing for the man.
Her sweet blue eyes turned icy.
"I'm here for you all day…"
"Can we sit back to back? As I tell you?" she asked quietly and he nodded.
Adam stared at the door while Weiss stared at the bedroom wall. She took a deep breath and began to reveal her deepest, darkest secret that the Schnee family had.
Weiss was seven years old when her father took her and her sister into the dining room for breakfast. Winter was eleven already and she looked bored being forced into the same room as her father. Weiss had noticed she had avoided him as much as possible but she had no idea why. Winter had said that Weiss never knew the truth but she didn't know what that meant.
He sat them both down and pushed their chairs in. Their mother wasn't in there which Weiss had thought was strange. Mother was always around for them. She always sat outside of the bathroom for Weiss because she never wanted to go alone.
"Father? Where's mother?" Weiss asked.
"She went to visit Grandmamma. She'll be back in a couple days," he answered.
Winter shifted into her chair uncomfortably.
"Weiss… what do you know of the White Fang?" he asked.
Winter's mouth twitched as she glared at her father who took no notice or he simply didn't care.
"They are Faunus who want equal rights. I think they should."
"Really?" Winter said looking surprised.
"Yea."
Their father nodded and let out a sigh.
"You know we have been at war with them right?" he asked.
"Well, quit being mean!" Weiss said putting her hands on her hips.
Winter began looking amused.
"It's not that simple Weiss," their father said.
"Why not?"
"Faunus are… disgusting animals with no rights and they deserve none."
Weiss looked at Winter. Winter glared at her father more but said nothing.
"You will find out why. I'm going to let you go into the forest out back."
"No! You can't do that!" Winter screamed, slamming her fists into the table.
"I can and I will."
"I'll call Mo-
"I shut off everything."
Winter's face fell and paled.
"Father…"
"Quiet Winter."
Weiss looked at her father confused.
"Mother said never to go there. There are scary things there."
"Indeed."
"Then why would I go there?"
"I want you to prove that Faunus are people if you are so sure."
"Ok, fine."
Winter grabbed her arm, "NO! YOU WILL NOT GO IN THERE!"
"But it's not fair Father is mean to them!" Weiss cried almost in tears.
Winter looked like she wanted to cry.
"You will need a weapon-
"I have my Myrtenaster."
"What?" her father asked confused.
"It's my dust wielding rapier."
He looked at Winter then back at Weiss.
"Really?"
"I want to be a huntress!" Weiss declared smiling.
"This will be a good test for you. Go get ready."
Weiss had no idea what was in store for her but Winter did. Winter went with her upstairs and tried to talk her out of it but all Weiss cared about was saving the Faunus. Weiss had Faunus friends but they never stayed around long enough. Weiss pulled on her favorite white dress with purple legging carpi. She pulled on her white hiking boots Mother had bought her a week ago.
"I can do this Winter," Weiss said pulling Myrtenaster from its blue case.
"You can't!" she cried grabbing her shoulders.
"I can!" she cried shaking her off.
An hour later Weiss and Winter arrived with their father at a metal walled room with computers. Weiss didn't question anything but Winter had tensed up the moment they had arrived. There was a medical team waiting on the side and they handed Weiss a small backpack. She nodded assuming it was just in case it was to help any Faunus she ran into. It had food, water and medical supplies inside.
Weiss had no idea what horrors awaited her on the inside.
A set of metal doors opened and Weiss went through without a second thought. She walked through the woods cracking along the sticks and leaves on the ground. She looked up to see the sky but there was something strange about it… There were thin, metal beams across the top… This isn't a forest… It's like a giant dome…
It had been thirty minutes and she had grown tired from walking. She sat down, took out a water bottle and had a couple sips. She didn't want to drink everything yet. She looked around expecting to see someone in there but there had been no one for a while. She got back up and noticed something strange.
A wall… so… it's like a giant bubble? Did they get stuck in here?
Weiss stretched and went toward the west side of the forest when she heard something. She stopped and pulled out her rapier just in case. She didn't know if there were wild animals or even Grimm there. She squinted and saw a man walk out. He had lion ears and a tail. His eyes were orange and his hair yellow.
"Are you ok? I can help you," she said smiling.
The pupils on the Faunus dilated and it started growling at her. She frowned.
"Are you ok?" she asked stepping forward.
It lunged forward at her taking her by surprise. It knocked her weapon out of her hands and she hit the leaves. She hit her head making the world spin around her but she came to but she screamed. The man had his pants off with a hard on which she didn't understand what was going on. It swiped at her dress ripping it.
Weiss rolled to the side and grabbed her weapon. It lunged at her again and she thrust her weapon up. It made a sickening sound as it went through the soft tissue in its shoulder. She jerked it out and the Faunus screamed. She scrambled to her feet and saw the blood on her dress. Something didn't smell right. She knew blood had an iron smell but it didn't smell right.
It went after her again and she dove between its legs. She recovered jumping back up and slashed at its back. An orange and purple liquid began leaking from its back. She frowned and flipped backward out of the way. The smell was horrible whatever it was and the Faunus began convulsing like it was having a seizure. Weiss realized they had drugged up the poor man and he was having withdrawals from the drugs.
This is what Winter meant. She said I didn't know what Father really did…
She decided to finish the man off and he collapsed to the ground bleeding everywhere.
"I'm so sorry this has happened to you," she whispered staring at the body.
Out of nowhere there were more footsteps. Weiss stuck her rapier into the tree and climbed up. She watched as five male Faunus came out and started eating the corpse leaving Weiss in shock. She was too scared to vomit from the sight. A female showed up and one of them stopped and attacked her. It began to fuck her with an angry fury and ripped out her throat.
Weiss screamed and they all stopped. She was trembling with fear now and they all could smell it.
"They aren't so nice are they Weiss?"
"Father?" she said aloud.
"They aren't so human like are they?"
She said nothing.
"Oh it looks like they noticed you up in that tree," he taunted.
He was right. Weiss gathered herself quickly and jumped off the branch into another tree. They let out inhuman screams of agony and anger. Weiss took a deep breath and spun the revolving chamber on her weapon. She thrust her rapier into the tree and a giant ice wall appeared. Weiss jumped off the branch and took off. She wondered if there were sane Faunus inside of the dome that her sick father created.
X

Weiss had disappeared inside of the dome and Winter waited up for her sister inside the control room. The dome was swarming with drugged out Faunus. Their father did his normal routine not caring once about Weiss. It had been three days and there were no signs of her on any of the TVs. Winter cried on and off but Weiss could hear it through the speaker. Winter begging her to come back.
Weiss had found fruit trees throughout the forest and ate that to stay alive. She left her rations alone in her backpack and made her way quietly through the forest when she came across a boy. He climbed up an apple tree and pulled fruit off and eating it. He had black horns like a bull and he had reddish brown hair. His eyes were the color of rocks and he looked normal as can be.
She jumped onto his tree scaring him.
"Wait! I come in peace! Are you ok?" she cried as he jumped up holding a sharpened stick.
"Who are you?!" he demanded.
"Weiss Schnee. Keep your voice down!" she hissed.
"You're with that asshole huh?" he growled and she shook her head.
"He threw me in here. I thought I was here to help the Faunus but instead…" she trailed off looking at the ground.
"So he tried to prove we were animals and monster huh? Well the ones in here are at least."
The boy shrugged his shoulders.
"What is your name?" she asked.
"Adam. I don't see what it matters if we are going to die in here."
"Shut up."
"What?" he asked surprised.
"I know a way out for you. If you want it."
Adam got quiet.
"I'm serious."
"You sure you want to do that? What makes you think I won't come back and burn the place down."
"I'll help you then."
The boy looked surprised.
"You're human, aren't you?"
"I am."
"Help me out then."
"Ok… Is that stick really reliable?" Weiss asked.
"Kinda…"
"You want another one?"
Adam nodded and he went searching for one on the apple tree. He handed her the stick and she sharpened it to a point for him.
"You ready for this?" she asked.
"Yes. I want to get the fuck out of here."
Weiss frowned, "That's a horrible word."
"It is but half the Faunus here was driven by that instinct."
"What?"
"How old are you?" he asked.
"Seven."
"I guess… you are really innocent. It's how everything pretty much reproduces."
Weiss made a weird face and the boy chuckled.
"Come on… We can protect each other."
Weiss looked at him sadly.
"I… I had to kill a couple of them. I'm sorry… they just…"
"They tried to rape you? It's fine… A killed a few myself."
Weiss hung her head.
"Hey, cheer up. Even if you save just me it means a lot to me."
Weiss smiled.
"There you go. What's you dream when you get out of here?" he asked.
"To be a huntress. What about you?"
"I want to get equal rights for Faunus."
"Let's make it so both of our dreams come true!" Weiss said holding out her hand.
Adam shook it and Weiss pulled out her backpack.
"Want some water? It might taste weird since it's been so warm in here."
"That's fine! Thank you!"
Adam drank the whole bottle and took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry… I drank it all."
"It's ok. Let's get going."
They took three hours to reach the place where Weiss saw the wall. They engaged in battle only if they needed too and Adam did most of the fighting. He wasn't kidding; all of the male Faunus seemed like they were in heat and would even attack each other. Adam covered Weiss' eyes as they had to sit there and wait.
They climbed down the tree by the wall and Weiss cut down some of the foliage that was there growing upward. It revealed a small metal base but it looked like mostly glass and thin metal beams. Weiss tapped it with Myrtenaster but it was glass. She frowned at it.
"I guess he's an arrogant asshole," Adam said.
"I don't think he would ever expect me or any of the Faunus to find the wall and break it down."
"How are you going to do this?" Adam asked.
"I'll use fire, then ice then wind."
"You can use dust? You're seven years old."
"I know but I know a lot. My father owns the Schnee Dust Company remember?"
"What will you do when he finds out?" he asked.
"I'll deal with it when the time comes."
Adam took Weiss' small hand and got on one knee.
"Weiss… If I could and we were old enough I would marry you. This means a lot."
Weiss' face turned pink and she looked away smiling.
"Can… Can I kiss you?"
Weiss nodded.
Adam got up and gave her a small peck on the lips.
"That was sweet," she said smiling.
Adam blushed and nodded.
"Watch for me while I do this. Stand back."
Adam took a couple steps back and Weiss raised Myrtenaster. She spun the chamber and it started to glow red. She swung her weapon and a giant explosion hit the wall. She spun the chamber again and it glowed blue. Once again she swung the rapier and the ice shattered the glass but it was reinforced by metal. Weiss growled and flung another round of fire and that did the trick. The metal started melting on the ground and Weiss used wind blowing out the reinforced metal onto the outside.
"Adam go."
Adam stepped up and took her hand.
"Come with me."
"I can't because they'll always be looking for me."
Adam's face fell and he looked at the ground.
"I'm sorry."
"I-I-
"I want you to be safe and make your dream come true," Weiss said smiling.
"THERE SHE IS! SHE DID KNOCK OUT THE WALL!" someone yelled.
Weiss poked her head out and saw it he needed a way to go across the lake. She slammed her rapier down and an ice path showed up.
"Go-
"Weiss-
"It's ok!"
Weiss hugged him and shoved him onto the ice slide. She climbed back in and sealed up the hole with ice.
"Weiss! You're ok!" Winter cried tackling her sister.

"More of the Faunus came after us but I made sure we got out. My father's goons didn't make it."
Adam looked down at the mattress smiling.
"So you saved one boy huh?"
"Yea."
"I'm sorry you had to do all that. That's why you reacted the way you did that day in the forest."
Weiss hugged her knees to her chest fighting back the tears.
"I love you Adam," she choked out.
"I always loved you Weiss," he whispered to her making her smile.
