Ch. 37 Revelations

The fire was raging through most of the night and the girls had passed out on the ship. Yang and Ruby were still awake waiting for any news at all. Serene and Helena had told Wynne that they planned on leaving and she seemed not to even respond, she just nodded and they left. Weiss had tried to stay up as late as she could to watch over everyone but she had passed out. The fire was still going as Ruby and Yang looked from each other to the girl that was asleep next to them. The crews had been working hard for some time trying to get the fire under control. Yang had put her back to the corner and pulled Blake into her and held her as she cried. Blake had finally cried herself to sleep and Wynne had just passed out. Ozpin never left the site he stayed with the teams standing in pretty much the same spot since they landed. After some time sitting in the quiet Yang turned to look at Ruby who had Wynne laying across her lap. "Hey Ruby." Ruby had her head down and when she heard Yang call her she looked up. "What do you think happened up there?" Ruby let her head fall back using the wall behind her to keep it up.

"I have no idea Yang but if its as bad as it looks." She did not finish the sentence.

"Yeah. For their sakes I hope its not." Yang said pulling Blake closer to her. This whole ordeal had taken its toll on all of them, but she knew it would hit Blake the hardest. She had finally found someone she could be her complete self around and now. She did not even want to think about Yang only hoped he was under there somewhere.

"I'm gonna try and get some rest if anything happens anything at all."

"I will wake you." Ruby said looking across the ship and giving her sister a small smile. Yang let her head find the wall behind her still holding Blake trying to focus on getting some rest. She was exhausted and it showed it did not take her long to fall asleep. Ruby was not ready to sleep not as long as there was no word. He might not have been her brother but that is how she saw him but, most important, she wanted to be there for Wynne. If the news came back that he was gone she wanted to be the one Wynne could turn to, be the one who could comfort her. Around 3 a.m they finally got the fire put out and then went on the task of searching through the rubble. It was not worth waking everyone up over just the fire being put out the hard part would be searching in the dark for any sign of Dante. She watched as the crews started moving through the remains and then her eyes started to feel heavy. She tried to fight it as much as she could but she was losing the battle. It was not long before she was out herself and all four were sleeping in the ship. Ozpin looked back seeing all the girls asleep and turns back looking at the ruble. The teams were clearing it fast but he knew they would not be done before dawn. Yang woke first, her years of looking after Ruby, she had taught herself to wake up after a few hours. She looked around and saw Ruby had fallen asleep and Yang chuckled to herself. The sun was just coming up and the teams were finally getting to the very bottom of the building. She looked back out the door and still saw Ozpin right where he was when she fell asleep.

"They are still working." He said from outside not looking back into the ship.

"How close are they?" She said looking down at Blake who was still in her arms.

"They are getting to the bottom now. I would wake everyone." Yang started to pet Blake trying to wake her slowly and looking over to her sister. Blake started to stir at first moving slow and then fast panicked movements.

"Calm down Blake, they have not found anything yet." Blake started to slow down.

"What happened?" Blake said looking up to Yang and starting to move.

"They are getting close to the bottom." Blake started moving faster and then tried to make it up and out of the ship. She did not make it far when her legs collapsed and Yang caught her helping her back to the bench She was both physically and emotionally wrecked and she looked it. "You are in no shape to do anything other than sit here. Please Balke." Ruby and Wynne had awoken from all the noise and started to look around. Wynne tried to stand but Ruby grabbed her hand and tried to keep her on the bench. She did not look much better than Blake but she was in more shock than anything. The full eight of the situation had not hit her yet, and that was because she refused to fully accept it. In all the commotion that was going on in the ship no one saw one of the guys come running down to Ozpin.

"We found something."
