Hey, everyone! I know it's been a while. About 2 weeks since the last chapter I think. But things happened, you know how it is. First of all, I have said that my actual (job) work will pick up soon, and it sorta already has. I say sorta, because it's fluctuating right now. We do jobs when there are jobs to do. It's not a constant, steady type of work that I do, so some weeks will be busier than others. Secondly, this is not the only story I update. I spent those two weeks working on said story. The 3rd chapter of The Best Pieces. I originally had a different 3rd chapter posted for it, and that was what took so long to write, but I took it down as I didn't like the finished product. A lot of wasted effort and time, and no one is more angry about it than I am, trust me. But I wrote a new one after that and it's posted now, giving me time to work on this baby!
So here it is! "Chapter 25: Firsts" No, this is not about sex. :p I really like the double meaning behind the title though, because it's about two different groups of people experiencing a first of their own. Fun, fun!
Enjoy! Oh, and more information at the bottom A/n! Not too important, but you still may want to hear it. :p
Chapter 25: Firsts
Weiss and Blake headed out of their dorm door, after saying goodbye to Yang who just got back with Ruby in tow, and walked downstairs. There they bumped into Granite and Opal at the front desk, talking.
Noticing them, Granite looks at them with a smile and waves politely. "Hey you two! Nice night, huh?"
Opal turns around to face the pair and smiles too. "Greetings. I'm sorry about the other day. I was a little…Flustered at the situation. I don't usually do that kind of thing in public…" Opal slapped Granite in the stomach softly and sent him a glare. "…You can think him for the display. He promised me no one was around. Apparently not."
"It was an honest mistake! Come on, you just got back from a mission and I missed you! Cut me some slack will ya?" Granite pleaded with a smile, half serious by the end.
Interrupting the lovers spat, Blake spoke to the couple across the counter. "It's not a big deal. It's nice to meet you, Opal. My name's Blake Belladonna, a first year." The cat faunus announced as she stuck out her hand to shake for the blonde next to Granite.
Accepting the hand with a smile, Opal answers back. "My name's Opal Snowraven. A senior and the partner and girlfriend to him somehow." Opal gestures to Granite with her thumb and a sly smile.
"You know you love me." Granite interjected with a smile back.
"Somehow." Opal repeated with a laugh and a smirk as she leaned into his side.
Clearing her throat to stop the couple from going any further, Weiss spoke up. "I'm Weiss Schnee. Also a first year and Blake's… teammate. It's nice to officially meet you, Opal. Last time our leader was in a hurry to see her sister so we couldn't stay long." Weiss also stuck out her hand and smiled to the blonde, being friendly.
At her name, Opal looked at Weiss curiously then took her hand to shake it uneasily. "So you're the heiress? Not quite what I expected, but I'm sure we can get along. I have to say though, I'm not a very big fan of your father's decisions."
Weiss sighed, figuring that that must have been why she seemed hesitant. "I understand. I don't agree with them either, but I'm not like him, not in the slightest." Weiss smiles as she looks to Blake from the corner of her eye and the faunus girl smiles back, noticing.
She wasn't the only one to notice however, as the other couple were right in front of Weiss, they would have been blind to not see Weiss' eyes shift to the side.
"What's going on here?" Granite asked with a smile, intrigued to know what that look meant.
Weiss blushed pink at being caught and Blake face palmed at the obvious look Weiss used. "N-Nothing! What do you mean?"
"Right…So we both just imagined that look you gave your friend?" Granite asked, not buying it.
"We're together." Blake spoke, no longer seeing any point in denying it as Weiss made it pretty obvious.
"Blake?!" Weiss shrieked out, appalled that she would admit it so easily when they were keeping their relationship a secret from everyone else but JNPR and RWBY.
"Weiss they already knew something was up by your look. There was no coming back from that. I'm sure we can trust them to keep a secret, right?" Blake explains, as she looks at Opal and Granite, wondering if they could be trusted.
"Why are you keeping your relationship a secret?" Granite asks, receiving an elbow to the side from his partner.
"She's the heiress to the SDC and her father is not a very 'progressive' person. No offense." Opal stops to apologize to Weiss.
"None taken…" Weiss mumbles, embarrassed at the situation of being caught.
"I don't think his views on same sex couples is a very good one." Opal continues as she looks at the monochrome couple. "You have nothing to worry about though, we won't tell anyone. Not even our other teammates. Leadia's a bit of a blabber mouth when it comes to secrets so we promise not to mention it to them, right?" Opal glances back at Granite wanting to make sure he understood as well.
"Right. Your secret's safe with us. So where are you two headed anyways?" Granite asks, curious since it was past dusk.
"Oh, just getting something to eat. We haven't had anything all day, so we're pretty hungry." Weiss explains, happier that the slip-up wasn't the end of her existence like she thought it was going to be.
"Maybe you and Ruby didn't eat anything today, but Yang and I got pizza after sparring. It was pretty good." Blake said, remembering ordering it after the first episode of that show the two of them watched together.
"So you're going out on a date? Opal and I just got back from ours! We went to this awesome place on the eastern side of Vale. Their steak is out of this world! I totally recommend the place. It's called "Everything at Steak". Clearly it's their specialty, but they sure know how to prepare it." Granite suggested, just wanting to help the two young lovers.
While he was talking, Weiss blushed at the realization that Granite was right. She and Blake were going out to eat together, with no one else. What else could it be besides a date? "W-We were just going to go to the cafeteria to get some food. I-I don't know if I would classify it as a date, per se."
"Oh, well maybe next time you're in Vale you could give it a try. Maybe we could even double date sometime? We don't have many friends that are couples, not yet anyways…" Granite gives Opal a knowing look and she matches it, knowing exactly what he's talking about.
"That seems alright to me. Weiss?" Blake answers before looking at her girlfriend for her opinion on the invitation.
"Huh?" Weiss looked up to Blake from her thoughts and snapped out of it. "O-Oh, um…Maybe. Sorry, I just don't know if I'll feel comfortable with that…"
"Oh no! That's totally fine!" Granite waves his arms, trying to calm down the heiress. "It was just an idea. We don't know each other that well, so that's understandable, but hey the offer still stands any time." The man smiles at the couple, not feeling the least bit hurt.
"Thank you. We should probably get going now. Weiss' stomach sounded like an angry bear earlier." Blake joked with a smirk on her face.
"Blake?!" That snapped the white haired girl out of her thoughts as she heard her girlfriend embarrassing her.
The girl in question just snickered at the pale girl's unusually red face. "Lighten up, Weiss. So you were hungry, it happens to everyone. No sense blowing a fuse over something so trivial. It was cute anyways." Blake said as she took Weiss' hand and she led her to the exit.
Mumbling and muttering her uncomfortableness, Weiss was interrupted from her brooding by the hand over her own from the faunus girl next to her. The white haired girl let out a soft sigh as she relaxed her hand in the grip, and accepted the tease thanks to the warm gesture. Being called cute again by Blake might have had something to do with it as well.
Saying their goodbyes, the younger couple left the building and made their way to the cafeteria that was pretty much open around the clock due to some teams getting off missions at random times.
As they walked through the gargantuan double doors of the hall, the monochrome couple noticed that students and staff were still there enjoying dinner. Though it wasn't too crowded in the cafeteria since the majority of the faculty were still out enjoying the last few hours of their weekend.
"What do you think you're going to get?" Blake asks Weiss as they approach the back of the room where the chefs and ingredients of today's menu are out on display.
"Good question. What about you?" Weiss asks back as they take in the smell of freshly cooked food.
Before Blake can answer, a short, brunet woman from behind the counter starts to talk to them. "Good evening. We're serving pasta today, so pick out what ingredients you want and what type of pasta to go with it when you're ready. I'll get it ready for you."
"Will do." Blake answers as she looks over the seafood section of ingredients, Weiss also thinking about what she wants to put in her meal. They knew the way this worked by now.
In front of them was a counter of ingredients of different noodles, sauces, and main ingredients for them to combine to make their pasta dinner.
"We also are picking up some food for a teammate, but they won't be eating until tomorrow. Do you have any breakfast food ideas?" Weiss asks, remembering Yang went to sleep with Ruby without eating.
"Uuuum…Not currently. I could whip up some eggs and bacon I suppose, if that's alright? It will take a few minutes though." The chef behind the counter informed as she waited for them to decide what they wanted.
"That would be great, thank you. Sorry for the trouble." Weiss apologizes for the extra work, not wanting to be a bother.
"It's no trouble. I'm happy to help our future protectors. It's a brave thing you all go through, so I'm happy to help make sure you're at least eating well!" The lady says with a smile on her face.
"Well in that case, I'll have ravioli with lobster and white sauce please." Weiss smiles back, happy that the chef is not some mean old lunch lady.
"Good choice. And you?" The brunet asks of Blake as she prepares Weiss' meal.
"I think I'll have Salmon and shrimp Alfredo please." Blake says with needy eyes, catching herself before she started to salivate from the fish and shrimp aroma wafting into her face.
"I'll have it ready right after your friends'." The chef announces as she continues to make Weiss' dish right in front of them.
"Thank you!" Blake almost praises as she keeps her eyes on the fish in front of her.
Stifling a giggle at her girlfriend's reaction, Weiss speaks up. "Where should we sit, Blake?"
Being snapped out of watching her 'prey', Blake looked back to Weiss and then back to the hall behind them to look for a spot. She then got an idea, since she also knew that this could be considered their first actual date, and smiled at Weiss. "I have an idea…" Blake looked at the chef, a smile still on her face. "…Any chance we could come back later for our teammate's food? We're going somewhere else to eat, if that's Ok?"
"Sure. I'll make that later when you get back. Let me finish this up and I'll put your meals in To-Go boxes for you two." The nice lady says as she starts on making Blake's pasta dish.
"Thanks again." Blake says as she feels a nudge on her arm and turns to face Weiss who was looking at her curiously.
"What's going on? Where are we going?"
"I figured we could go somewhere more private to enjoy our meal in peace. I found this place the first day I arrived at Beacon. You'll love it, trust me." Blake smiles, but hesitates to take her hand as they were out in public with students around them. Her bow sags on her head a little as she leaves her hand at her side, not wanting to oust them as a couple.
Seeing this, Weiss gets her attention as she grabs her hand and blocks the view of the rest of the cafeteria with her body as she gets closer. She squeezes Blake's hand to reassure her with a smile and then lets go, putting some space between them after she sees Blake smile back.
"See, I can cheer you up too." Weiss whispers, glad to know it had the desired effect on her secret girlfriend.
"You're a natural." Blake whispers back whimsically, referring to when Weiss was envious of Blake's 'mastery' of dating.
After receiving their food and thanking the chef one last time, the secret couple head out of the cafeteria, Blake leading the way.
"This way." Blake said as she brought Weiss to a secluded area behind some shrubbery on campus.
"Blake. What is this place?" Weiss asked as she squeezed past the bushes into an open, clear area.
"I don't know, but it's nice and quiet. It must have been used as a secret spot for someone a while ago, because look at this." Blake pointed at an old wooden table under a tree in the middle of the clearing.
The clearing was completely surrounded by tall bushes, blocking off sight from the rest of the school yard. A tall tree was in the center of the clearing, providing shade over the bench if necessary for a hot day.
"Someone must have brought this table here, but it hasn't been used in a long time it seems." Blake turned back around to Weiss and smiled, taking her hands after setting down their food on the table. "I thought this place would be perfect for us while we keep things a secret. We don't have to hide anything back here, so why not use it as our first date location?"
"Date?" Weiss' eyes widened as she realized why Blake brought her out here.
"I did promise to take you on a date this weekend when you were better, didn't I?" Blake smirked, as Weiss got embarrassed, and gestured for them both to take a seat at the table and eat.
Overcoming her initial nervousness, Weiss speaks up as she goes to her side of the table, across from Blake. "Well this place is beautiful." The heiress looks up and sees the stars in the sky through the leaves in the tree as she starts to sit down.
"Wait!" Blake calls out with a hand extended to warn Weiss and she freezes. Blake moves over to her side and flicks something off the table where Weiss was about to put her hand. "A spider was right there. I got it." Blake mumbles awkwardly.
"Oh, thanks." Weiss giggles at Blake's attempt at chivalry.
"Just…Wanting to keep you safe." Blake mutters, embarrassed at the outburst over something so simple.
Weiss chuckles lightly at the blush. "My hero. Oh, what ever would I have done if you didn't warn me?" Weiss praises sarcastically, amused as Blake gets more embarrassed.
Noticing her reaction, Weiss reaches over the table to grab Blake's hand and her attention. "Sorry. I now know what you meant about it being cute to see someone blush though." Weiss smiles, wanting Blake to do the same.
It works as the faunus girl shakes off the blush and smiles back. "Look at you, firing back with your own teasing. I was afraid that I was going to have to tone it down if you never shot back."
They both giggle at the joke and then lock eyes for a few beats, still holding hands in the silent clearing. Nothing but chirping insects to listen to as they enjoy the peace together.
It was broken though, as Weiss looks away and coughs into her hand, embarrassed by the intimate, private moment. "M-Maybe we could try the food now? Don't want it to get cold…"
"Y-Yeah, good idea." Blake agrees as she also held an unnoticeable pink blush on her face in the dark. 'What's wrong with me? I shouldn't be so easily flustered like this…'
Blake's thoughts are stopped as she follows Weiss' lead and opens her box to take in the smell of her meal. She couldn't help but lick her lips as her appetite was successfully tempted. Weiss' reaction was tamer, but she was still looking forward to tasting the only food she had all day.
As they sampled their dishes, they both let out groans of delight as it tasted exactly how they thought it would.
"This is so good! Even the food back home barely compares to this." Weiss exclaims as she continues to enjoy her meal.
"You're so right. I wasn't even that hungry and I still can't stop!" Blake gets out quickly, in between bites of her seafood pasta.
Having finished their meal without stopping to chat once, the couple put their temporary cutlery down and sigh in delight.
"That was amazing." Blake breathes out as she holds her stomach.
"I'll say. I couldn't eat another bite! Maybe if it was more of that, I could, though." Weiss laughs until it causes her to let out a burp and she covers her mouth in horror.
She looks at Blake in fear of screwing up their first date. Blake looks back to her, surprised that the prim and proper heiress would do something so unladylike, and bursts out laughing.
As soon as Weiss realized her reaction was not a mocking one, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, happy that she wasn't dealing with some rich pompous fool, like her father might set her up with.
"Weiss! I can't believe that actually happened!" Blake wipes away a tear of laughter before continuing. "I'm so glad you're more relaxed around me. I hope you know you don't need to be so restrained when it's just us alone together. I prefer you to be yourself. It's so much more fun."
As Blake finishes, she gets up and walks to the other side of the table and offers Weiss a hand with a smile.
"I'm glad you think so. I was really nervous about how you would react. Those types of things were frowned upon by my father and the rest of the people he surrounded himself with." Weiss took the offered hand and got up with Blake. "Just don't expect that to happen too often. It was just a slip-up, Blake." The heiress said as she laced her fingers with her girlfriends' and they walked out from under the big tree.
"I would never dream of it." Blake whispered as she glanced up at the stars, getting an idea. "Lay down with me." Blake said as she looked at Weiss with a small smile.
"What?" Weiss was understandably puzzled as they were in a small field of grass and wild flowers.
"Have you ever been star gazing?" Blake asked as she glanced back up at the sky, showing Weiss what she meant.
"Sometimes…My sister and I would sneak out to one another's balconies and look up at the stars together…" The dust mage smiles at the memories, before looking at Blake. "What about you?" Weiss asks as they sit down together, the white haired girl leaning on Blake's side as she waits for her answer.
The faunus girl leans back on her hands as she kisses Weiss on the head. "My father used to take me hunting on the weekends, when he could find the time. The trips doubled as camping trips as well, so we slept under the stars together. It was just us there, you know? My father was a pretty busy person too, so when we did actually spend time together, it was always something I looked forward to."
Blake wrapped an arm around Weiss and leaned all the way down so they were on their backs together, looking up at the stars as the white haired girl laid her head on Blake's arm, snuggling into her armpit as she wrapped an arm around Blake's waist.
"What does your father do? Pretty sure you already know what mine does…" Weiss asked in a soft tone, not wanting to ruin the moment.
"He…He was once the leader of the White Fang actually…" Blake felt Weiss shift beside her, most likely shocked by the revelation. In order to fix it, Blake continued explaining, hoping to clear up the misunderstanding. "He stepped down after the majority of the members started to turn violent though. He wanted no part of it since no one wanted to listen to reason…" Blake trailed off in a sad voice as she thought about how she was one of those people. 'I'm sorry…'
"I'm sorry…" Blake was snapped out of her sad thoughts as Weiss whispered to her.
"Why?"
"I didn't mean to bring up such a sore spot. This is supposed to be a happy moment, just about us, and here I am making you talk about things you would probably rather not even think about…" Weiss mumbles, thinking she was ruining the perfect date they had going.
Weiss feels the arm around her tighten up a bit, and a pair of lips on her head again. "What was that for?" The heiress asks as she looks up at Blake.
"Because you're so sweet, worrying about me." Blake giggles softly as a blush dusts across Weiss' cheeks. "I'm alright Weiss. We all have something that we carry around with us that we aren't proud of. That's life. I'm just glad that I have someone next to me that will help me carry it when it becomes too heavy…And the same goes for you."
"Blake…" Weiss breathes out as she leans in to capture the girl's lips. The white haired girl cups Blake's cheek as they drift off into a passionate, but slow burning kiss together.
"Blake…" Weiss pulls back, out of breath and now on top of Blake, before they go any further. This was starting to eat away at her after their conversation with Granite and Opal. "I…I wanted to explain why I want to keep our relationship a secret…I-It's not because I'm embarrassed of being seen with you! I just-…" The heiress was cut off with another kiss to her lips from the black haired girl below her.
"Opal was right, wasn't she?" Blake asked with a small smile, not hurt in the slightest.
It takes but a moment for Weiss to figure out what Blake was talking about, but once she does she nods shakily, leaning to the side to sit up next to Blake. "Y-Yes. I'm scared of what my father might do if he finds out about us. He's not someone you want to upset. My father is a cunning and ruthless person when he wants to be. I don't want anything to happen to you because of me…"
Blake gives out a sigh and sits up with Weiss, as she realizes that her girlfriend is completely serious. "I figured it was something like that…When you mentioned that your father had something to do with your scar, I felt as though not even his own daughter was safe from how badly he treats people."
"Blake, i-it's not like that! He didn't do this to me, personally…" Weiss closes her eyes as she traces over the scar of her left eye, remembering that night. Her right eye opens back up as she feels another hand over hers, cupping the left side of her face and eye. The heiress notices Blake smiling warmly at her as the faunus rubs her thumb over the marred area.
"What happened, Weiss?"
Taking a deep breath, Weiss closes her eyes to prepare herself to talk about her father. Her feelings had been mixed ever since she discovered that he was telling the truth about seeing a vampire kill her mother. It didn't excuse him for what he put her and her sister through, but it was more understandable after seeing all of the people around you think you were crazy.
"I was 15. My sister, 20. She had enlisted with the Atlas military that year and my father was understandably not happy about it." Weiss shook her head as she went over the back story.
"There was nothing he could do though. For all the power he lorded over people, it did nothing against the higher ups of the Atlas government and military. He wasn't foolish to think that he could fight a war against a Kingdom, so after Winter enlisted there was nothing that he could do as she was a legal adult."
"You would think him to be angry about it, to feel betrayed…And he was, but he was also torn up inside. I caught him crying one time in his study. He had been drinking heavily, but I still saw the tears as he covered his face at his desk." Weiss looked at Blake with a melancholic expression.
"I think he was sad that he was losing us, his family. First his wife is murdered, then his first daughter signs up to join the military? I can't imagine how terrified he must have been for Winter. I know I was…At the time, I didn't think much of him crying, because that was when my father started to truly slip. He buried himself in his work, never leaving his office unless it was to check up on our training progress." Blake gave Weiss' hand a reassuring squeeze for her to continue if she wanted to.
"My father started to amplify me and my sister's training regimens to make sure we could take care of ourselves. Originally, he only had me focus on academic studies, preparing me to run the company with some light fencing practice on the side. After my mother's death though, that changed as he was obsessed with both of us being able to defend ourselves." Weiss cleared her throat as she was getting to the point of the matter.
"The night that Winter left Schnee manor for good, my father activated a new 'sparring partner' for me to train with…The thing was a giant suit of armor, with an equally big sword, powered by dust, just as fast as it was tall. Frankly, I'm amazed that I beat it without a worse scar…" Weiss said as she brushed her left eye again. She then felt Blake's hands on her shoulders and they tightened almost uncomfortably.
"Weiss, I thought you said he wasn't responsible? He attacked and hurt you! Whether it was through a machine or not, doesn't matter!" Blake shouts, thinking that Weiss was still clinging to the hope that her father wasn't really as evil as everyone makes him out to be.
"I never said that!" Weiss interrupts to get her girlfriend's attention. "He did have the giant knight attack me, and there's no excusing putting your own daughter in peril just to make them stronger, but it was a dark time for him. After learning that vampires are real, I can't help but feel like my father felt so isolated from everyone thinking that he was crazy. He just wanted to keep his last remaining daughter around by making her stronger…Maybe I'm giving him too much credit, but he's still my father. I have to at least hold out hope that he's not a monster like everyone says he is…"
"Weiss…" Blake gets out as she hugs the heiress. "…I hope you're right. I really hope you're right."
"Me too..." Weiss mumbles into Blake's shoulder as she hugs back.
Deep down, Blake knew though. It didn't matter how damaged the Schnee patriarch was, he was still a racist and a tyrant with his company. The whole world's view can't lie about that. He may have had a good reason to put her in danger, but he could have ended up killing his own daughter because of his decision. As far as Blake was concerned, he didn't deserve Weiss' hope in him.
"Come on, it's getting late. We should head back." Blake says after a few more minutes enjoying each other's company. She then glances at her scroll and sees that it's almost 11 P.M.
"Ok…" Weiss mutters feeling like her story brought the date to a horrible ending.
Blake notices, but doesn't say anything as she takes Weiss' hand and pulls her up with a smile. "Just a small trip back to the cafeteria, then we can go back to the dorm, Ok?"
"Fine, let's just hurry." Weiss gets out, finding it odd that Blake isn't the least bit saddened by the end of the date that went poorly by the end. 'Did I miss something?'
After picking up the food from the same nice chef, they head back out, on their way to the dorm, as Blake stops Weiss, who was carrying the plate.
"What is it?" Weiss asks, as there was nothing but a pathway ahead of them.
Blake smiles, walking behind her after looking around to make sure no one was around. She then abruptly picks up Weiss bridal style, and starts to carry her to their dorm room, keeping a faunus eye out for anyone approaching in the darkness.
"B-Blake?! What are you doing?!" Weiss struggles about, not understanding what Blake was trying to do.
"Shhh…Calm down, Weiss. I saw the way you looked after our talk and I didn't want our date to end on a sour note, sooo~…"
"So you thought to carry me to the dorms, like some kind of damsel in distress?" Weiss whispered unbelieving that this is what Blake came up with.
"Well, it's romantic, isn't it? And you are technically injured, so I thought it was appropriate…Was it a bad idea?" Blake asks nervously, thinking that maybe her novels weren't the best source of romantic ideas after all.
"You're…Such an idiot…Wh-What if we get spotted?" Weiss slowly mutters as she starts to get comfortable in Blake's arms, before realizing that they are still out in public, even if it is late.
"Faunus vision, remember? I'll spot anyone approaching well before they see us." Blake happily explains as she notices Weiss growing content with the idea.
"I…Guess this could work…" Weiss mumbles as she lays her head against Blake's chest and listens to her heartbeat rhythmically pull her from consciousness.
Blake smiles down on her girlfriend as she knows she saved their first date, and kisses her softly on the head as she continues down the path. They run into very few people on the way back, no one that Blake couldn't get away from with her shadow clones anyways, and they make it back to the dorm with no surprises.
After finagling the plate of eggs and bacon in the fridge for Yang while still carrying Weiss, Blake carried her precious cargo to their room and set her down on the heiress' own bed. As Weiss rolled over on her bed, Blake got an idea that she was pretty sure Weiss wouldn't have a problem with.
Going over to her closet without turning on the lights, she slipped out of her clothes and into her yukata for bed. Blake then slid in under the covers, behind Weiss, and wrapped her arm around her as she held the small girl close, enjoying the serene moment with the girl she loves in her embrace.
That same night, someone had just awakened from a very deep sleep. Her body felt like it was melting as the skin was being peeled off her flesh at the same time. All she could do was twist and howl in pain on the floor as the agony didn't stop no matter how badly she wanted it to.
Her screaming must have gotten someone's attention, because suddenly a bright light entered the room, as a door was opened and there was a voice.
She couldn't understand what they were saying, but they got closer as she writhed on the ground of the small dark room. As she felt the person grab her, her eyes opened and everything started to clear. All she could hear was his pulse though, as her eyes locked onto his neck.
"Are you Ok, now? Should I go get someone else? Adam didn't say what else to do once you woke up besides check on you…" The man started to say, but she couldn't care less at the moment, as the burning started to return.
It felt different this time, though. Like it was caused by something else entirely. She started to twitch as she felt herself gain control of her limbs again. They felt unbelievably stiff at first, but now she could move them with simple ease as everything started to slow down. He was still speaking about something, but she still payed no attention to it as a hunger started to seep it's way into her brain.
"Hu-Hungry…" The girl croaked out, as if her throat was in desperate need of fluids. "…Th-Thirsty…"
Before the man could even respond to get her what he thought she needed, she felt the unbearable desire to attack him…So she did.
As the man's screaming reached outside the room, the door was shut and locked by the two guards stationed there. They flinched and shivered as they could still hear the roaring and yelling from the other room behind them. What sounded like tearing, and then slamming, as they felt the metal door between them creek from an impact against it. The screams immediately died out after the slam, but there was still noises coming from inside. They were even more sickening then the initial ones were, as they sounded like gurgles separated by chomps and war cries that froze them to their very core. The disturbing noises continued for a while longer, until silence took over and one of the guards left the post, as ordered by the one he went to go inform.
"Adam. She's awake, and…She's…Done, with him." The guard said hesitantly, as he found the 'true' White Fang leader in a small office.
"I understand…Keep me updated for when she starts back up. This is far from the last time it will happen." Adam instructs. 'Just how long will this continue, Cinder?' The man thought angrily, as the she-devil never gave him a specific time length for Scarlett's 'recuperation'.
He just hoped that once it was over, she would be in a better mindset then Cinder is…
Well there you go! Weiss and Blake's first date, and Scarlett's first kill as a vampire! Anyone else get the feeling that Scarlett is going to end up like Cinder? I hope not. This world couldn't handle that much crazy! xD
That poor no name that Scarlett killed brutally. Cinder told Adam to not let her kill anyone important, and I suppose that's one way of doing it. :p Oh, and if you think that there's a chance that Scarlett just created another vampire, think again. It's hard to create a vampire, when there's nothing left of the body...That scene was just as gory as it sounded. He was in pieces by the end of it.
When I started writing for this story, after updating The Best Pieces a few days ago, I actually started on the next chapter after this one, because I was originally going to skip over Blake and Weiss' night as I didn't even think about how that 'food run' could classify as a date. But when I did think about it, I realized that that would be their first date! I can't gloss over that! So I stopped writing that chapter and started this one. I was about 2000 words into 'chapter 26' before I started writing this one. So the next update should come relatively fast, considering.
Also, we're about to be getting more screen time with the baddies for a few chapters. Not a lot, but kinda like this one was. A small...update on what they're doing, if you will. Like Where Merc and Em are currently, as well as more check ups with Scarlett. Like Adam said, that's far from the last time.
So favorite, follow, and review please! I really liked how this chapter came out. I feel like I'm giving Monochrome more screen time than Enabler though. Hopefully that will change in the following chapters now that they are a couple as well. Anyways, peace!
