Chapter 9: Back breaking pain called love

Sunday January 10 1:27 A.M.

Wit awoke covered in a cold sweat. He tried to recall the dream from which he had awoken. All he could remember was a dark room and the sounds of pain. As he sat there he realised he had sweat enough to dampen his sheets and cause them to stink. He striped his bed and put the sheets in the washer. He layed on the couch and tired to go back to sleep. After an hour of laying there the washer beeped notifying him it was finished. He put them in the dryer. Instead of trying to get some rest he went to the gym. He walked through the halls trying to remember the dream. He looked out the large windows as he passed them. The moon hung so gently in the air as if the slightest breeze could blow it down. Then he noticed something unsettling. An airship comeing towards the school. It turned and the side door opened and a figure jumped out. Wit ran out the building and to where he saw the figure. He looked around to see it running along the roofs. He followed it as it ran towards the gym. It left the roof and entered the locker room. Wit slid in before the door closed. He found the figure forcing a locker open. Once inside with delicate fingers and extreme consintration sabotage the weapon inside. Wit recognized it as Cresent Rose, Ruby's scythe, Wit crept silently towards the figure as the figure finished Wit talked them. It took a few seconds but Wit pined them up against the wall.

"Who are you and what purpose do you have to sabotage Ruby's weapon?"

The person stayed silent.

"Ohhhhh... The quite game I usually win."

Wit pulled a knife out of his pocket and drove it in to the side of the person. They let out a loud screech.

"Calm down I won't kill you, yet, you just have to answer my questions."

"Fine, fine my name is Emerald."

The girls voice rang out in pain.

Tears ran down her face. The moon light came through one of the windows and illuminated the scene. A small pool of blood formed at her feet.

"I was sent to attach explosives to several people's weapons so the next time they used them they would detonate and kill they."

**Start of gore. If you want to skip go till it says end of gore**

"Well then, you have two options, disarmed the bomb and remove it. In that situation you live. Or you don't, and I kill you in the most painfull way possible."

"Ya right you don't scare me."

"Really, then I will start. First I will slowly cut across your stomach, not deep enough to puncture but deep enough to hurt like hell."

Wit slid the knife back and forth in a line across her stomach slowly making it deeper.

"Now I will cut in-between you fingers."

He droped her to the ground and held her there. He held her hand and left small painfull cuts between her fingers.

"Please stop, I will disarm it."

"I already gave you a chance."

"Please."

"I thought I didn't scare you."

"Please stop."

"Fine."

**end of gore**

Wit stood up, he picked her up by her hair and dragged her to Ruby's locker. He set her down in front of it.

"Get going or should I continue."

"No, please."

She quickly disarmed and removed the bomb.

"Can I leave now?"

" I said I would let you live not leave."

In one swift move Wit slammed her head in to the locker door knocking her unconscious. He lifted her up and carried her to the infirmary. When he got there the nurses took care of her. Wit called Ospin and told him what happened. Ospin rush down to the infirmary. They discussed what happened and Ospin wrote up a report.

Monday January 11 8:30 A.M.

Wit sat in Ports classroom, the class was as normal as ever. Port was telling a story of adventures past. Ruby was asleep and Weiss was barely hanging on to consciousnesses.

Yang had her head resting on Wit's shoulder. Suddenly Yang started to whisper.

"Hey Wit where were you yesterday?"

"I was in the infirmary."

"Wait, are you ok?"

"Ya, I was sitting guard. I will explain it at lunch."

"Ok."

Yang layed her head back down.

Monday January 11 11:15 A.M.

Wit got his lunch which consisted of a hamburger, beans, coleslaw, and a soda. Wit found Yang and sat next to her.

"So what happened?"

Yang nugged him.

"Oh," He swallowed the bite of hamburger, "I caught a terrorist rigging bombs on students weapons."

"Oh... So how did you..."

"ATTENTION all students, a fugitive has escaped from the infirmary please remain inside."

Wit ran to a window and saw the girl.

"Yang I will be right back."

He jumped out the window and chased after her.

"Stop!"

Wit yelled as he pulled his pistol out of his hip holster. He talked the girl. He stood up and was now in front of her.

"You."

She looked up at Wit.

"Ya, you shouldn't have ran."

She jumped up and ran at him. Before she made it two feet Wit squeezed off two rounds, one in each of her knee caps. She hit the ground.

"Shit, what the fuck how did my aura not block that."

"Because these are steel bullets."

Beacon gaurds showed up and carried her away.

"Wit are you ok?"

Yang ran around the corner.

"Ya, don't worry I never leave my room with out my trusty M40."

Yang ran over and gave Wit a hug.

"Don't ever do that again."

Wit stood there and looked down at Yang.

"If you got hurt or worse because I couldn't stop you or help you I don't know if I could live with my self."

"Don't wor..."

Yang looked up at Wit. He could see tears forming in her eyes. He stopped and hugged her back.

"Don't worry, I will never leave you. I promise, I will do everything in my power to stay safe for you."

The Bell rang and notified them it was time for their next class.

Monday January 11 5:12 P.M.

Wit and Yang snuggled on the couch in Team WHITE's room.

Yang was asleep but Wit sat their thinking about what Yang had said. Suddenly his scroll started to buzz. He looked at it to see it was Ospin.

"Hello this is Wit. Yes, is it important. Fine I will be there soon."

Wit hung up.

"Yang, Yang wake up."

Wit lightly shook Yang.

"Five more minutes."

"Yang I need to go."

"Ok... See you."

Yang fell back to sleep. Wit smiled. He stood up and left.

The elevator doors to Ospin's office opened.

"Ospin this better be important."

"Wit I would like you to meet General Ironwood."

"Hello, I have heard about you."
