Chapter 12

Wow only took me a week, will this happen again… no it won't happen again this chapter is really something that should have ended the last chapter but I forgot about it and then after posting the last chapter I was like 'ah fuck' so yeah this'll be a short chapter but an important one.

Long sleepless nights they're quite common are nothing new to me. I spend hours tossing and turning, never finding the ability to sleep. Tonight was no different after 3 sleepless hours of lying in bed I simply excepted I wasn't going to get any, so I sat down in front of the T.V. trying to find anything to help pass the time.

I flipped through all 70 channels I had finding only one with something that interested me at all. It was the first Ninja's of Love movie, while I never cared much of the series, there is one thing about it that I'll never forget. My older sister Vicky has the starring role of the film! I' I couldn't help but smile at the sight of her, even though she looks nothing like I remember.

This is going to sound pathetic (Ha this is my life, what isn't pathetic!?) but this is the first time I've heard her voice since, I moved into this apartment. In fact, it's the first time I've heard any of my sister's voices since I moved here.

Just by hearing her voice I felt like she was here right now, I felt that I could finally explain to her why I wasn't able to come to the funeral and hopefully, have them except me back into the family. Of course that wasn't true and it will never happen but, a man can dream… a man can dream.

About an hour went by and I didn't pay attention to anything going on in the movie, except for a very 'In depth' scene featuring my sister and the male lead, I'll try to purge that from my memory as soon as possible. None of that mattered I just watched Vicky it made me realize even more how much I miss them all.

While some of my sisters I was never able to spend the most amount of time with because, we were a very large family and our age gaps were quite large, with my oldest sister Kim being 14 when the Janet was born. Even with the age difference, the large family we were able to make time for each other.

The movie finished and I can't tell you any of the characters names or really anything going on because again I didn't care about that. Now I could only think about my family and how I've missed so much of their lives, and how I'll… no I don't deserve their forgiveness.

As I basked in myself hatred, there was knock on the door and honestly who the hell knocks on someone's door at 3:00AM?

I walked over to the door not caring at all who it was; I only hope they can keep my mind off my family for a minute.

As I reached for the doorknob, the person on the other side knocked again only louder, well whoever it is clearly doesn't have any patience.

I opened the door to the dark hallway unable to see who it was outside being able to make out the figure of a person. I turned on the light next to me illuminating the hallway just in front of my room.

Now able to see the woman in front of me, I was quite surprised at who it was, it was the woman who wears the bow. What the hell she doing here?

"Hello" I said cautiously.

"Hello" She said back looking nervous, almost fearful.

We fell into a bit of an awkward silence afterwards, she looked too nervous to say a word, while I was just trying to figure her out.

"What are you doing here?" I asked figuring that'd be easiest way to get any information.

The woman looked around before taking a step closer to me I instinctively reached to my side. The woman must have figured out what my motions meant as she raised her hands and shouted "Stop!" after which her face turned red as she covered her mouth realizing there are people sleeping here. I didn't have a actually have a weapon on me, it's been a long time since I have, but it's been drilled into my head to pull it out if I'm threatened that sometimes I forget.

"I'm here for a package you received a couple days ago" For a moment I had no idea what she was talking about, but I quickly remembered the package she spoke of.

"One moment" I said closing the door more out of fear, if she is here for the package she is, then that means Cinder sent her. They've done this before leave something important in my mail, so if whoever is looking for it does find it, they'll only find me.

Most people would be very angry to me used like that, but at this point I don't even care about used like that, it's really nothing to me anymore.

I found it on my dresser and seeing the words 'do not open' on it was nothing new as well.

Reopening the door with the tiny box I presented it to her "This what you're looking for?" I asked.

The woman only nodded in confirmation as I handed her the box. So she really is part of whatever Cinder is doing, only there's something different about her. She isn't like everyone else.

Every other time someone has come for one of these package's they were confident, and intimidating. She on the other hand seems shy nervous and afraid, why would they send her to pick up something important to them?

Maybe's she's like me, forced into helping them, if that is the truth then I hope she can get out of this.

"Hey, before you go I'd like to ask you something" I said wanting to gauge her reaction.

"W-what is it?" She asked seemingly shrinking. Just like I expected she's afraid of me, probably thinks I'm one of Cinder's goons.

"I… wanted to know you name" I answered nervously.

"Why would you want to know that?" She asked sheepishly.

"Well there're two reasons, one I like to know a customer's name, because it makes it easier for me to remember them" I answered honestly.

"Makes sense I guess" She seemed to loosen up a bit, which is good I don't want her to be afraid of me.

"The other reason is that…" I can't believe I'm about to say this "it's not every day a beautiful woman comes to my apartment asking for my package" Oh god I said it.

While the woman's face did light up she did giggle at my joke and, I could tell she was trying not to laugh too hard so she didn't wake anyone up.

After she calmed down she let out a sigh with slight curve of her lips and said "It's Blake" Huh, I didn't Blake was a unisex name.

"Nice to meet you Blake, I'm Jaune" I said

"Nice to meet you Jaune but, I better get going" She said turning away from me walking to the stairwell.

You know I should have just let her leave but I felt the need to say this. "Hey Blake" I called out as she reached the door.

"Yes" She turned to face me.

"Have fun with my package" I said nonchalantly.

Blake let out a sigh but I could see a smile grow on her face. "That better be the last 'package' joke" Blake threatened.

"Or what?" I asked challengingly.

"Or this" She pointed to box "Won't be the only package of yours I'll be leaving with" Ok that was NOT what I was expecting.

"Ok I promise I'll stop" I gave in

"Good, because I really don't want to hear about you giving any other girls your 'package'" Blake stated.

"Blake come on, you're the only girl I'll give my package to" I may have just broke a promise I literally made only 10 seconds ago, but really who can blame me with that set up?

Blake simply gave me a death glare that I returned with a shit eating grin. "In my defense, you set that up perfectly" I said before she tried to kill me.

Blake let out a sigh before admitting defeat "Yeah I did".

A short silence passed when Blake's smile reappeared on her face and we both began to laugh "See you later, Jaune" Blake said opening the door to the stairwell.

"See you around" I said back closing my door.

Well… that definitely was not how what I expected any of that to go.

xXx

I wish I was told to acquire this package earlier; it's not fun having to wake up at 3 just to get a stupid box.

I had important things to do right now, like sleeping. I mean what could be in this box that's so important?

It's very tiny so, it can't be anything too big, the only thing I could think of was some kind of dust but, what would be so special about it? It's only dust, a substance I know that they'd have no troubles stealing.

It doesn't matter what's inside, even if I wanted to I could never open it, if I did I would face a very harsh punishment.

What surprised me most was that while Jaune knew what I wanted, he didn't until I told him. I assumed he would have been waiting for me to arrive, like I was told, but he just seemed confused.

When I met him the other day he was different from Cinder's other employees, he seems to not know anything about what's really going on.

He's never talked business, he's just been friendly, and while normally I would just say he didn't want anyone to overhear our conversation. What really caught me off guard was when I came to pick up this package he didn't ask for the password or even ask if I'm with the white fang, to him it seemed like I was really just picking up something that was delivered to his address by mistake.

So why would they give something this important to him? They would never trust him with it at all… unless he's some kind of scapegoat. A smart move if the police or a huntsman ever did track down this package they'd find Jaune and not someone important. That's a risky move but it seems to have paid off.

I'm not quite sure if this is true or not, maybe he's just playing dumb, or something.

Hell he wouldn't be the only one pretending to be something he's not.

Anyway now that I'm finally home I can rest, give this stupid thing to Sun… speaking of which where is he? He should be back by now.

I never like it when he's late, it's hard not to worry when he doesn't tell you anything, and, I can't check up on him because he might be doing something very dangerous right now I could get him killed.

Falling onto my bed I pulled the sheets over me and hoped Sun will be there in the morning, I don't know how I'd ever get by without him.

Closing my eyes I tried to let sleep consume me but was I unable with all my worries, stop worrying Blake he's going to be fine, like always is… but what if he isn't? What if right now he's lying on the ground with his blood pouring out taking his last breath's as the people that claim to be his allies run away without him!

Calm down, just calm down deep breaths, deep breaths Blake, don't think like that, he'll be fine.

I kept like this for an hour thinking of all the terrible things that could happen to Sun, and then trying to calm myself down.

Thankfully I heard the door open meaning only one thing. So I rushed out of my bed and nearly tackled the Faunus as he closed the door.

Sun nearly fell over as my arms wrapped around his body "Blake! I didn't expect you to be awake" He said shocked.

"Are you okay!" I asked in panic examining his face for any cuts or bruises.

"Yeah, I'm fine" He gave me his trademark grin and began to rub my back with his tail, and as that may sound I actually really like it.

"What took you so long?" I asked feeling a lot more calm.

"There were some uninvited guests who decided to crash the party" Sun said with a somber tone.

"How many died?" I asked hoping he says none but, that will never be true, people always die, I just wish it wasn't so pointless.

"A couple of ours… most of them" Sun said making me fall deeper into his chest feeling his heartbeat.

"Did you kill anyone?" Sun didn't answer but I felt his heartbeat faster, telling me the answer.

"Blake you know that I don't enjoy doing it" Sun said.

"I know that… I just hope this will all be worth it in the end" I said staring into his eyes.

"It will be Blake" He said taking my bow off exposing my cat ears. "All you have to do is to get on good terms with Weiss" That was the only problem it's impossible to get on her good side.

"Easier said than done" I said bitterly. Sun began to rub my cat ears which always got me in a good mood.

"Blake... I know it isn't easy, but we can't wait forever" Sun said seriously.

"Do you think I don't know that, of course we can't wait forever we'll only have one chance at this" I said

"Yeah and if we miss it…"

"The world will never be free" I finished for him a bit annoyed, I've enough times by now, and I just hope it's true.

If anyone can't remember where that package came from Jaune got all the way back in chapter 5. Anyway like I said don't expect an update to come to come anytime soon really sorry about that but I got 3 culminatings then exams… I'm so happy that they cram everything important in the last two weeks of school… that's not fucking retarded.
