A/N: Sorry for the wait, we just got our internet back from a snow storm soooo. It's been snowing non-stop where i live. Anyways here we go! That new guy still freaks me out though...Oh God Nooooooooo! Smoke And Mirrors just came on! Nooooooooooo!
Ace had been on edge all day, it had been two days since the attack, and they hadn't heard a peep yet. Blake was constantly worried about him, because he would sit in a tree all day and just watch everything. But she couldn't approach him like before, she knew he would be mad if he discovered it was her. So she kept her distance, but a though always crossed her mind, what if she went into heat again? She was surrounded by people, both men and women, some had given her looks, but he knew if it happened, she would go straight to Ace and uncover her identity.
She didn't feel right though. She hadn't felt right for two hours now. She just pushed it aside and continued on like every other day. Ace on the other hand, had a bloodthirsty feeling that he had to hide. He didn't want to admit it, but his other side was coming back, the side Atlas wanted from him, the side they created. He didn't trust the robot guy, or 'The Other Penny', the name he called Al often.
He may have been on edge by the fact they hadn't been attacked yet, but the fact that he caught Al watching him a lot and how his other side seemed to acknowledge Al's prescense, freaked him out. He seemed more on edge and each day, even the new girl, who he still hadn't learnt the name of, freaked him out.
So he himself, kept an eye on both of them. If they tried something, he would know. If it came to it, he would let his other side show and let it do what it liked to call, 'have fun'.
The last time that happened, thirty people died and one was injured. The injured person being Ironwood himself. He didn't like Ironwood, but he didn't dislike him either, he was just mixed on a lot of people. But he knew he liked Team RWBY, Team JNPR, and Ozpin of course, Glynda seemed like a strict mom, so he was iffy on her. But he especially liked Blake, no, he loved Blake. He would die for her if it came to it. It just didn't sit with him, that out of all people, he was chosen by her. He couldn't fathom why she picked him.
But he didn't question it. In fact he praised the world that she picked him. He looked around and took in the scenery, yep, he was gonna clear his mind, and take a stroll, maybe then he could corner the person that kept following him when he went places to think.
Blake, who had her mind and heart set on seeing what Ace was doing, followed him sneakily, unaware of his trap. Al also followed both, aware that something might happen, he kept his distance. Al smirked to himself when Ace vanished into a nearby cave, he knew to stay away from there, he stayed outside while Blake followed Ace in there. Blake followed him into a deep, dark part of the cave. She could still see though, as her eyes peirced the darkness, she could see Ace ahead of her.
He suddenly turned towards Blake, which caught her off guard, "Why are you following me?"
She made her voice high pitched, "Nothing! I wasn't following you!"
"Uh huh. You gonna keep with that story?" He manifested one of his guns into his right hand. "So you follow me here, and then claim to not have followed me? Wow, I must be dumber than I look!"
Blake stood there silent. She didn't know what to do or say. However, outside, Al was having a feild day. He found this funny, and he kept his voice low enough where even Blake's ears couldn't detect the noise.
Ace held his gun by his side like it was the only thing that kept him alive, "Exactly who are you?"
Blake said the only thing that she could think of as a name, "Grey, sir!"
"Grey? Your parents named you Grey? Oh my. Well, Grey, why are you following me? Hmm?"
"Umm-"
"Umm? Yeah, great way to start your answer. C'mon, I'll let Louise watch you."
As they left for camp, Al sneakily followed them back. When they got back, Ace beckoned to a curly, platinum blonde haired man, with a small goatee. His grey eyes looked towards them as he realized he was being called.
"You needed me?" Louise said.
Ace sighed, "You feel like babysitting, Jeezal?"
Louise looked towards Blake, "She do something, Sir?"
Ace sighed again, "Well, Grey here, decided it was okay to follow me around. I get that it's not a crime to follow someone, but it is disturbing, so, that's why I need your help."
Louise nodded, "Aye, Aye. I'd be happy to watch her for you, Sir."
Ace nodded, "If you can, I need you to also help out in that make-shift kitchen, we need extra hands."
Louise looked at Blake, "Are you sure that little miss sneaky, here, will like it there?"
Ace laughed, "If Ramtesh isn't making Chili again, I'm sure she'll be fine."
"Aye. Well, I guess we should be off now. If Ramtesh does cook Chili, well, I'll let you know how it goes."
Ace smiled, "Okay, just don't let him put any peppers in there like last time. We don't want a repeat of that again."
After that was all said and done, Blake reluctantly followed Louise to the 'Kitchen', and Ace went back to his regular duty of checking on his soldiers.
