Ch 14 A Meeting Set by Fate pt 2
Neo sat on the couch in the living room of the house her and Onyx had shared for what felt like a lifetime. Her body might have been on that couch but her mind was back in time again. Ever since that morning her mind was bringing her back to the time when she first meet Dante.
He had carried her from the alleyway and tried to take her to a hospital to heal. She had started to panic thinking that someone would take her away at the hospital. Once Dante had gotten her calmed he told her that he would bring her back to a safe spot he knew about where he would take care of her. He had talked to her all the way and she never responded, even though she could not, he kept talking and every word calmed her. She did not fully remember what he was saying, she was in a lot of pain and her mind was racing, but he was talking and it took her mind off of the trip to where they were heading. Once they had finally made it to his safe house, he lay her down on the bed and started to look over her wounds. She did not last long once she was on the bed, or whatever she was laying on, she passed out as he worked. She had no idea how long she was out but when she woke up he was still there and sitting in a chair next to her. Once he saw she was up, he smiled at her and started to stand, moving closer to her. If this would have been anyone else she would have pulled away, even with how bad she was messed up, but for some reason she was perfectly calm around him. "You were pretty messed up, but I got the worst of it cleaned up, I did not want to… well remove your cloths." He was still smiling at her and she wanted to reach out and touch him, but she was in too much pain. "Hey just relax." He said putting a hand on her shoulder. "You're still pretty banged up, try not to move so much." Neo looked up at him and his smile calmed her even more. "You can't talk, can you?" Neo started to shake your head and he stopped her. "It's fine, just relax, don't push yourself you will need a few days before you can start to move again. Your aura was drained almost to nothing, your body took most of the beating." He turns and grabs a wet cloth putting it to her face and cleaning it. She never winced in pain at his gentle touch, but a small smile started to spread over her face. "See that's better, I thought your face would break if you smiled." The more he watched her the more he was picking up on small things that she did. It was almost like she was talking with the way she looked at him and all the small things her face was doing. At first the small gestures and head movements did not mean anything, but the more he watched and the more he started looking at everything as one he was able to read what she was saying.
"Thank you."
Neo was laid out on the couch, she never remembered laying down, but there she was. She sit up and looked around the room trying to gauge the time by looking out the window. Her mind had put her to sleep at some point and now it was getting late again. She still had a few more hours before she needed to go get him so she decided to clean some. She never cleaned but he asked her once and since then she cared enough to do it just about everyday. Little did she know that things were going to change today.
Not to far away from where Neo was sitting team RWBY was waking up after their long walk. They needed to keep moving to reach the next checkpoint within the time table they set for themselves. They set off walking towards the next checkpoint which cut right through the town that Onyx was living in. "How long to the next checkpoint?" Wynne called from behind Ruby and between Yang and Blake. Ruby called back to her looking over her shoulder at the group.
"Once we pass through this town, it should be only a few more hours." As they walked through the two Blakes eyes fell on something that she thought she would only see in her dreams. Her feet stopped and her eyes went wide seeing the bar. Yang was the first one who noticed and stopped calling to the rest of the team.
"Hey wait!" The others stopped and looked back to see Blake just standing staring at a building that was set in maybe the middle of the town. She started to move towards it seeming lost in her own mind. The others started to follow not saying anything to her as she hit the door and pushed it open. As she walked in her eyes started to fall on everything that was on the walls, everything just like she saw in her dream. Her eyes found the bartender and her breath caught in her chest. The man turns and looks at them smiling and it feels likes her heart was going to stop.
"Welcome to The Last Gunslinger, what can I get for you?"
