If you're a fan of the psychological themes of this fic, go check out my new fic Red Tape! It's a teaser for a fanfic I intend to write.
Chapter 11
Yang hadn't spoken to Jaune about their kiss. He didn't seem to mind, especially when Yang snuggled closer to him around their fire.
Ren had claimed the area was safe enough to have a fire. The blondes trusted their friend, so they consented.
But Ren kept casting wary glances toward the pair. But he said nothing vocally.
"So Ren, what's the plan?" Jaune asked.
"Weiss Schnee told me about a secret entrance to the CCT tower while I was in Atlas. When she heard I was leaving to go back to Vale, she told me," Ren explained.
"I was there too. Why didn't she tell me?" Jaune asked, confused.
Ren shrugged. "Don't ask me. I'm not her."
"That's for sure," she muttered.
The black haired man frowned towards Yang. He continued, "We'll have to go through part of the city to get to the entrance, but we'll be able to bypass most of the Knights in the vicinity."
"Sounds like a plan," Yang replied.
"At least the best your little mind could think up," she growled.
Ren folded his arms. "Yang…"
"Ren," Jaune interjected, "Yang's been through some rough patches ever since I ran into her. I think she just needs sleep."
The other man looked as if he wanted to say something, but bit his tongue. Jaune turned his gaze to Yang, and the brawler closed her eyes.
"I'm the part of you that you hate," she replied. "We've gotten to know each other well over the past years, eh?"
"I hate you," Yang snarled, raising her fists.
"Trying to fight yourself? Now even you must know how silly that is," the other Yang laughed. "Face it, I'm you."
"No," refused the blonde.
She shrugged. "Your funeral, I suppose. Shouldn't you be focused on what's coming up? After all, she'll be there. The one who started this all."
Yang growled. "I won't let you control me again."
"A woman whose semblance is based on their anger, telling me that?" She laughed. "Now that is comedy."
"Shut up!" Yang screamed.
Author Note: Short, but we'll be getting back to long chapters soon. I'm thinking one more short chapter, then two long, and then the final chapter. And then this fic is finished! You guys are the best with all the favs and follows!
By the way, if you are a fan of OC fanfics, one of my friends Mark-Kris Robin Lancer just posted a fanfic that I have helped edit and look over. As far as OC stories, it's in the top percent in my opinion! Go give it a look, and maybe drop a review! It's called The Old Huntsmen – Trailers.
