"Are you sure you want to give all these away?"

"Hmm? Yeah, I've already read them all; might as well give them to people who don't have any."

"It just feels weird. You've had some of these for years. Oh oh! Like this one!"

Blake looked over her shoulder to see Ruby holding up a black book with gold lettering and she felt her face heat up as she remembered the book and its contents.

"Didn't they make five of these?" Ruby asked as she turned the book in her hand to look at the back.

Blake quickly turned back to her pile; silently grateful that she already found the others and had hidden them away.

"I' m not sure." Blake hastily mumbled, "I didn't keep up with it." She went back to sorting her pile of books into boxes labeled with different genres. She stopped when she came to a thin children's book and she frowned as she tried to remember it. Slowly, the memory came back to her.

It was a story about a cat trying to be friends with a dog and how all the other animals tried to stop her. Blake remembered sitting in Adam's lap as she tried to read it, her brother helping her along when she couldn't sound a word or telling her what a word meant when she didn't know. He would often read the lines of the boy animals, giving each a different, and often ridiculous, voice. Blake always fell asleep before she reached the end, so they would start over again the next night. They never finished though and Blake had forgotten all about it.

She opened the book and started flipping through it, her lips moving silently as she read. She could hear Adam's voice reading along as she progressed. His voice was a low rumble when he played the bear, a hiss when he spoke as the snake, a high pitch sing-song when he acted like the canary. What she didn't remember were the wet spots on the pages, glistening where ever they appeared, or the way the words seemed to shake and blur the further into the book she went.

She was so lost in the story that she didn't notice Ruby had sat down behind her until a pair of arms wrapped around her waist. Blake turned into the hug and hid her face in the brunette's soft hair as her body shook, silent tears marking their way down her cheeks as the book slipped from her fingers.

Ruby hugged the crying Faunus harder and whispered softly "It's ok Blake, it'll all be ok."

Omake:

Adam closed the book and set it on the bedside table. As gentle as he could, he shifted his little sister out of his lap and into the bed before pulling the covers up around her. He leaned down and kissed her forehead, a smile pulling at the corner of his mouth as Blake's ears twitched. Standing up and walking to the bedroom door, he turned off the light and looked back at his sister.

He smiled and whispered, "Good night little kitten."
