Dreaming
*Check out the poll on my profile page, it may influence the story!
Also, sorry for no chapter yesterday You know how it is, what with me living in the U.S and having the Super Bowl and what not. (Yes, I watch football.)
It was the next morning after their discussion. Weiss and Blake were already up, yelling their heads off.
"You know what, I can't take the fact that you think that I'm a know-it-all!" Weiss screamed.
Blake retaliated, screaming louder. "Because you are! Dunce this, dunce that! Everything is imperfect compared to you, in your pretty little mind! You're an insufferable little brat!" she said.
Weiss frowned in anger. "At least I know something, not like you! And you know what, you take offense to things much too easily." Weiss pointed out. Blake opened her mouth, planning a nasty reply, but was stopped by Ruby.
"Stop fighting, before Yang wakes up!" She said, looking at Yang sleeping. This silenced the girls. If Yang woke up, they would all get an earful.
"Hmmph." Weiss said childlishly.
"Come on, just get changed, we got to get to class in 20 minutes." Ruby said, gesturing for Weiss to be quiet.
The girls all silently got changed, waking Yang when they were finished. "Hey, we got to get going." Blake said, shaking Yang. Yang woke up and got out of her bed slowly. She cracked her neck and went to the wardrobe to get changed. Once they were all ready, they went down for class. Once again, they would be early.
"Hello!" Ruby said, confidently stepping into the Grimm Studies classroom. Professor Port raised his head, greeting her with a smile.
"Why, hello, Team RWBY! Nice to see you early!" He said. Blake rolled her eyes.
"Early again." She said under her breath. They all took a seat in front of Professor Port's desk. Blake took hers rather sloppily, and nearly fell off her chair. She had not gotten a good sleep. She was thinking about the fight. It was not a big fight, but Weiss not hated her, again. Blake thought they could form a good friendship, but then, of course, they had to fight. Blake, deep in her thoughts, fell into a deep sleep.
Blake stared into Adam's eyes as the cart she was on separated the two. She wanted to say 'I'm sorry' but the words could not come out. She could only manage a squeak as Adam's face turned red. With anger in his step, he turned his back to her and started walking the other way. Blake fell to her knees and began to cry, as she was separated further from her former best friend. Voices began to fill her head. 'You were never good enough, anyway, Blake' these voices said. 'You were worthless, you were a liability!' the voices taunted. Looking up to the sky, Blake realized it had turned a blood red. The trees around her were laughing at her with bloodshot eyes. The orchids sung a soft, slow tune.
'From Shadows….' The orchids repeated in unison. Blake looked around in horror. She felt terrified. She felt as if the air around her was closing in on her, trying to crush her. "Adam? Where are you?" She screamed into the empty air. The sky cracked with lightning at these words. "Adam?" She screamed, close to hysteria. A sound of rushing water filled her ears. A nearby tree screamed "Goodbye!" in a deep tone. Blake looked down from the edge of the train. A river of blood had formed under the train. She backed away in fear. The trees around her were waving, a couple pointing to the far end of the train. She looked, and what met her eyes was a huge waterfall, only a couple feet away. She wanted to jump into the water, but the blood scared her. She had nowhere to go. As she thought of an escape route, the train plummeted.
"Blake!" Someone whispered into her ear. "Blake! Lesson's gonna start! Wake up!"
Blake jolted upright, and looked around. Ruby had woken her. She had a worried face.
"Blake, are you ok? You looked like you were going to cry…" Ruby said, truly worried.
Blake shook her head, as if it would take the dream away. "I-I'm fine," she lied, blinking her eyes, "I just usually talk in my…. In my sleep." She said.
Ruby pouted. "Ok…" she said, not convinced. Just then the rest of the class poured in. Professor Port stood up, clapping his hands together.
"Why, welcome, class!" He said as the class took their seats. "Today, we'll be reading an article about Adam!"
Blake shook her head. "Excuse me?" She said rudely.
Professor Port frowned. "Do not talk back, young lady!" He said, with hostility in his voice.
"I'm sorry… I just… what did you say we were reading about?" Blake asked.
"That's better. Today, Blake, we are learning about Beowolves and their dangers." He replied.
Blake nodded. Was she going mad? She shook it off.
"Ok, so we'll first start off with learning about the dangers of their claws." Professor Port said, pointing towards a diagram on the board.
"Abandoning your friends is never good." He seemed to say.
Blake's eyes widened. What was happening? She couldn't take it. Her head in her hands, she ran out of the room.
Professor Port exclaimed, "What is wrong with that young lady today?!"
Without permission, Ruby ran out the room, signaling for her team to follow. They had to find out what had gotten into their teammate.
"Oh goodness, me!" Professor Port said, watching as the whole of Team RWBY dashed out of the room.
