Ch. 36 Aftermath

Wynne had ducked behind a building when she saw everything start raining down from the mansion. Yang had brought more people back with her from Beacon to help and they showed up right as the mansion exploded. She saw Blake running towards the mansion yelling for Dante. Wynne was in a state of pure shock and could only walk around the side of the building seeing the inferno for the first time. Yang had run past her chasing after Blake trying to stop her from running into the fire. She could only stare at the fire watching the scene play out in front of her. By the time Yang had caught Blake she was more than halfway to the now burning mansion. Yang had grabbed her by the arm trying to hold her back pulling her towards herself. "Blake stop!" Blake tried to pull her arm free from the strong Yang.

"Yang let go of me!" Blake was still trying to pull her arm free and had turned to try and pry her hand free. Once she had spun Yang pulled her in hugging her tight to her chest.

"Blake he is gone!" At first Blake was trying to fight to get free. Her hands were pinned to her side so it made it even worse.

"Yang let me go I need to save him!"

"Listen to me he is gone. Blake!" She was pulling her tighter trying to stop her from fighting back.

"Yang." Was all she said before her legs gave in and she fell to her knees still in Yangs arms. She was crying heavily and Yang had even Yang had tears in her eyes. Wynne was watching from where she stood just staring at the fire. She dropped to her knees her mind lost in itself. Fights were still going on around between the rest of the guards and the backup from Beacon, none of that mattered to her. It was like things were moving at half speed to her the people fighting, Yang and Blake and the red blur that was running towards her. The red blur turned out to be Ruby who had dropped down to her knees in front of her. Wynnes eyes never moved from the infero that once was the mansion her brother was in. Ruby was shouting something at her but that was all blocked out almost like she had earmuffs on.

"Wynne!" No answer.

"Wynne!" Still no answer just more blank looks.

"Nala!" She blinked a few times looking to Ruby for the first time. The weight of what was happening finally hit her like a ton of bricks.

"Ruby." Tears were starting to form in her eyes and they were coming on strong. Wynne wrapped her arms around Ruby who did the same letting her cry. She buried her face in Rubys neck crying and Ruby pulled her closer.

"I'm here Nala and I will never let you go." At this point an airship had come carrying Ozpin and some of the teachers had landed and started loading the remaining masked men into it for questioning. Groups of students and teachers had started trying to get the fire under control but the unstable dust made that a challenge. Ozpin watched from his spot near the airship as Yang helped Blake from the ground and walked her back. She was still crying and halfway Yang had to pick her up and carry her the rest of the way. As they walked past Ozpin Yang only shook her head to him and he understood what it meant. She walked her into the airship putting her down on the bench and sitting next to her. He looked back to the fire looking over his glasses seeing Ruby and Wynne in the middle of the town.

"Ruby he's…"

"Shhhh. Nala shhhh." Ruby was trying her best to comfort the crying girl who had just lost her brother, the last of her family. Serene and Helena were watching from the airship tears in their eyes. Weiss had made her way over to Ruby and Wynne and with the help of both girls they got Wynne on her feet and towards the airship. The ship was very quiet except the sound of the two girls crying. The whole ship had a somber tone to it as everyone sit waiting for something to happen. Ozpin had walked around to the front of the airship and started talking with the pilot. Not too long after he walked back around the engines started up and Blake started to panic trying to get away from Yang.

"No no where are we going?" She asked looking at Yang and then out the open door to Ozpin. She finally got free of Yang when the door started to shut and get out to Ozpin. Tears in her eyes she grabbed Ozpin by the arm as Yang made her way out. "PLease don't make us go."

"Blake. Come on honey come back with me." Yang put her hands on Blakes shoulders trying to lead her back to the ship

"Yang let me go!" Blake said knocking her hands off. "Ozpin please I need to stay I have to know!"

"Sorry professor."

"No its quite alright. Blake you do know what that means right?" Blake was still crying but she nodded her head. "Okay but I want you to promise me that you will stay in the airship. Understand?" All she does is nod her again and let Yang bring her back to the ship. Ozpin makes a motion with his hand and the engine cuts out. They all sat in the ship watching and waiting for any news coming from the mansion.
