So for the next few chapters, there is going to be a lot of bouncing back and forth between characters for... reasons. So just hop right in and I'll see you at the end... or not. I mean I don't even know is you guys read this so I could just be wasting time or I could tell that a lot of people die in the next four chapters. Whatever! Hope y'all enjoy!
Weiss' PoV
It nearly eight when Blake woke up. She has a better habit of getting up early than the sisters. But I was always the first to wake. I took the opportunity to take a shower and have the bathroom all to myself. Once out of the shower, I changed into some overalls with a light blue shirt and a white jacket. I had to climb onto the toilet to reach the sink and brush my teeth. When I saw my reflection in the mirror, something felt wrong. Wrong in the way I looked. Not just because I looked like a kid, but I didn't look like myself. I didn't feel like myself either. And, for some reason, I couldn't put my finger on the face in the mirror staring me down, I quickly brushed my teeth. I sat down, slid off the toilet, headed back to my bed and waited for everyone else.
"Morning Weiss." Blake yawned. She slid out of bed. Running her fingers through her hair and stretched afterward.
"Morning."
Blake, while making her way to the bathroom, turned to me, asking how I slept.
"I'm surprised I fell asleep at all. With Yang and Ruby talking to so loud last night. I'm more surprised that you were able to fall asleep." I answer.
"I didn't want to tune in on their private conversation, but, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't keep myself from listening," Blake said before shutting the bathroom door.
Yang was next then Ruby who was woken up by Yang. She helped Ruby get down after hopping of herself. Without exchanging a word, the sisters got ready. Ruby changed into some overalls like mine except for the red shirt and Yang wore she normal combat attire. The days haven't gotten warmer for her combat attire, but I was not going to say anything.
Blake came out of the bath with her usual attire as well. "Are we ready?" She asks.
The three look at each other than to me. I crossed my arms and turned away.
They went the 'plan' real quick before leaving.
"We'll be right back Weiss. If someone knocks just… you know… ignore it I guess." Yang shrugs. Being the last one out she shut the door.
I sigh after a couple of silence, letting my hands fall into my lap. "Please help us Ozpin."
Blake's PoV
Something didn't sit well with me when we left. Like this feeling of something, bad happening to Weiss sat in my stomach like a pile of rocks. Ruby nor Yang showed any signs of worry and if they did, they're hiding it pretty well.
Several students were already in uniform heading to their first class. Some of them noticed us and gave us weird looks when they saw Ruby sitting on Yang's shoulders. Her finger twirled around Yang's cowlick, too entranced to care about the onlookers.
Ruby slumps over the blondes head. "Do you guys think Ozpin can really fix this?"
"Are you questioning your decision of talking to Ozpin because your nervous or do you think he actually can't fix," Yang asks.
Ruby didn't answer. I couldn't relate to how much pressure was resting on her shoulders. She's put a lot of faith in Ozpin thinking that he'll fix this. Faith's something that is hard to find in our world. And a youthful person like Ruby is going to find out that faith is hard to keep as well.
"What he doesn't know what to do?" I asked a little harsh than I intended.
The sisters shared a look of questioning. Yang was the one to actually ask a question "What do you mean by that?"
I stopped walking, Yang stopped just a step in front of me. "I mean is what if Ozpin can't help us? Like Weiss said, we can't just expect him to throw some magic on Ruby and Weiss and they instantly turn back to normal."
"What other choice do we have?" Ruby countered. " Like you said, Ozpin could be our only hope."
I opened my mouth but nothing came out. Of course, she would play that card, smart girl. My mouth snapped shut because there was nothing else to say.
The elevator dinged when we reached the top floor. Ruby was starting to get nervous. Yang and I could tell because once she started talking about something she'd rant and wouldn't shut up unless Yang pinched her leg.
"Keep it together Rubes." Ruby was basically clinging to Yang's head in nervous. It looked quite ridiculous from my point of view.
We stop just before the threshold of Ozpin. Yang and I face each other. She gives us the okay. I push open the door and we step in.
Weiss' PoV
It took me a couple tries, but I did it! I finally did it! I successfully grabbed a book from the top shelf over my desk. The only one that I own and use for entertainment. Its shiny gold curving letters popped off the brown leather. The world of Remnant always was my favorite book. It was like a history book but more interesting to read. The book told life like a fairy tale. It was something I hid from the group. Don't give me that look, Blake has her own personal collection of books she has hidden somewhere.
I sat comfortably in my bed, reading. But for some reason, I kept looking back on the last few days of being a kid. I didn't enjoy being treated like one, but I couldn't deny acting like a kid was fun. I had so much fun going ice skating, playing cards and going to the aquarium with… Yang.
I suddenly felt sluggish and sad. A mopy feeling that's what it had been so kind to me for the last few days and in return, I blatantly ruin it like I always do. She treated me like the sister I wanted when growing up.
My stomach knots from the way I've treated everyone. Unfairly and unkindly. I messed so bad this time, and what hasn't happened in a long time, I didn't know how to solve it. Which made the whole situation all the worse.
My thoughts were suddenly halted when there was a knock on the door. "Hello?" A gruff voice called on the other side.
Alarms were flashing and blaring in my mind. I didn't know who this person was, but they were not here to simply say hello. I quickly hop off the bed, but in my quickness, the book falls off the bed and thump loudly against. My entire body stiffs. A tense silence sucked up all the air out of my lungs.
The knob started to jiggle violently. I ducked under the bed. The cracking wood split through the air and the door was thrown open in seconds. Several pairs of black boots came waltzing in.
"Are you sure this the room, Dives?" the gruff voice growled.
The man known as Dives replies weakly. "Yes, sir."
"Search the area!" Gruffy commands. That's the gruff voices nickname. I'm not creative enough and paranoid at the moment. "Find her!"
My heart was racing. Books crashed to the floor. Coats and clothes were thrown out of the closet and the bathroom was destroyed. I watched a set of boots walk around my bed, stopping in front of the book. Everything seemed to slow within that one second. A meaty hand reached for the book and scooped it off the floor. Then time went back to normal. The bed went flying across and the spotlight was pointing directly at me. I scrabble to stand. All eyes were on me. The black and white attire with the symbol of a wolf with three slash marks sent a shiver down my back. The white fang had broken into our dorm, knowing that I was here.
"GRAB HER!" Gruffy roars.
Panic was driving me over the edge. I make a quick decision and dash for the door. Several thumps and groans told me that these guys went too smart. I had a grip on the door frame when a meaty hand yanked on my shirt.
"You morons! Do I have to do everything!" Gruffy lifts me up with ease. I squirm and kick the air, demanding he let me go.
He ignores and tells everyone to move out. There was one thing I could do now. Scream bloody murder.
"HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME!" I yelled with all my might
"Shut her off!" One man cried clutching his faunus ears.
"PYRR-mhf." A white rag covered my mouth and nose. It smelt weird. My squirming and kicking weaken and slow. It became harder to keep my eyes up. Everything went black.
Yeah, this where I start lighting everything on fire. I'M LIKE A PYROTECHNIC! I'LL BURN EVERYTHING YOU LOVE!This is the plot and everything is going downhill from here. Next chapter will most likely be a long one. Anyway, Like, Comment, Subscribe, and I'll y'all next Monday! BYE!
