Okay another long chapter. Little over 5000 words. I hope you all enjoy it.
Italics in this chapter indicates a person is reading a book
Droplets of water fell from the ceiling of the cave as two figures walked with flashlights leading their way down into the dark cavern. An eerie silence draped over the two figures wondering on what seemed an endless corridor. Step after step, echoing footsteps as their heels clicked to the rocky surface of the cave.
"Are you sure this is the location for the person we are looking for?" A female voice said.
"Yes… at least it's supposed to be" A male voice said.
"Well that's not very helpful now is it… this place gives me the creeps" The female said with a slight shaky voice.
"It's fine, hopef-" The male cut himself off, "did you hear that?" He asked.
"N-no… what are you talking about?" The girls asked.
"Emerald get down!" The male said.
The girl named Emerald quickly ducked as an object sliced where her head was. She quickly posted her hands and sent a kick backwards and hit a solid object and sent it sliding back. The two quickly pointed their lights towards the direction of the attack and saw nothing but a wall.
"Okay we are not alone and we are at a disadvantage" The male said.
"No shit Mercury. We need to leave, the Intel was correct. The only reason a person would love to sit in this dark ass cave is to be left alone and to be able to defend themselves, they probably excel in the dark in combat" Emerald said.
"Yea and are you going to tell Cinder you were just too scared to complete the mission she gave us?" Mercury retorted.
"Uhh! Fine, let's get this over with, you still have it with you?" She asked.
"Yes, now lead the way," He said.
"What?! Yea no, screw you. I almost lost my head, you go first. Not like there is anything to lose in that head of yours if YOU lose it" She said.
"Ha ha very funny Em. Don't get your panties in a wad, I'll take the lead since you are so scared" Mercury said.
Emeralds face flustered as she clenched her fist in slight anger. She stared daggers at Mercury as they continued their walk in the caverne. They had walked for 5 more minutes until they had entered an open area of the cave and surprised them as they noticed furniture. Shining their lights they could see a small setup of a couch with a little table, a desk and a bed.
"I'm not going to warn you two again, leave" A voice said with venom.
Emerald and Mercury spun around shining their lights in multiple directions seeing nothing.
"Listen we just want to ta-" Mercury was interrupted by a kick to the gut sending him flying into the desk and smashing it.
"Now you broke my desk… your neck should have enough payment" The person said as she charged at Mercury.
Emerald stood there, frightened as what just happened. She shook herself from her daze as she felt a gust of wind fly past her. Figuring it was the person they were after, she lit a flare and threw it in their general direction. The flare sparked bright red as it lit up the open part of the cave. When her eyes adjusted to the better lit room she noticed a person staring at the sudden light source with spite. Emerald saw that it was a girl who had white almost porcelain skin and stood at about five feet tall. Her hair was black and in a simple braid that reached her mid back. She noticed she had an extra pair of ears on the curve of her skull straight above her normal ears. The ears were in the shape of bats. Looking down she saw two fangs sticking out of her mouth. She had very dark brown eyes with pitch black pupils. She had two gauntlet-like weapons on her wrist that looked like three extended thin sharp blades on each gauntlet. She wore black skin tight pants as well as a black crop top with red netting below it covering a small set of mounds and a pair of heels.
The girl looked at Emerald with annoyance. She then walked over to the flare and stomped on it with enough force to make a decent crack in the ground and the room went dark.
Emerald froze, listening for any slight movements. She could hear droplets of water from the ceiling hitting the ground. She felt her heart beating harder and faster by the second to which her eyes widened and she let out the air she forgot she was holding in. She put her hands on her knees where she was able to re-catch her breath. She felt a hands lightly grab her left shoulder and instantly spun around and punched what felt like a face.
"Ah! Dammit Em, what the fuck!?" Mercury said clutching his nose.
"Om my, I-I'm so sorry Mercury" Emerald said as she rushed to help Mercury back up.
"Damn, you trying to knock me out" He said as he cracked his nose back into place.
"Well don't sneak up on me in a dark cave you dumb ass! Especially when we are being stalked!" Emerald exclaimed.
"Okay yea I didn't think that one through, anyway we need to leave and rethink this approach" He said.
"Yea le-" Emerald was interrupted by another voice.
"Yea… you two are not leaving. I warned you and you didn't take it seriously" The girl said as Mercury grabbed Emerald and bolted for the exit.
The two bolted down the cavern with minimal light as the girl was in pursuit. Emerald pulled out her revolvers and fired multiple rounds as the two ran towards the way they came in. The sounds of bee-like noise buzzed passed them as they were trying to dodge whatever they were. They took a left turn at a split in their path and hid behind a rock next to a wall to catch their breath.
"You heard those noises passing by us too, right?" Emerald asked quietly.
"Yea… If I had to guess they are probably darts of some kind, maybe arrows guessing on what sound they made when they impacted the rock" Mercury explained as Emerald nodded in agreement.
"That being said, we need to make sure we don't get hit in case they are laced with tox-AHHH!" Mercury yelled as he was tackled into the wall behind them cracking and breaking through.
Emerald snapped her head in the direction he was tackled.
"You still owe me payment for my desk~" The girl cooed as she licked her lips.
Emerald quickly threw her last flare and lit up the room they were in;the sudden light stunning the girl on top of Mercury. She moved in firing multiple shots hitting the girl knocking her off her partner. Charging at her she extended her blades on her revolvers and jumped bringing them down in a slashing motion. The girl rolled out of the way dodging the blades as they clanged with the rock surface ground. The Girl jumped towards Em and brought her gauntlets blades down on her. Emerald fell to her back and put her revolvers in a X to block the girl's attack. She laid there with the girl on top of her pushing her blades on own, slowly winning the battle. Her blades slowly made their way to her throat as she saw the girl on top of her smiling with her fangs licking her lips. The girl was suddenly knocked off Emerald by a shot from Mercury's leg. He walked to Emerald and helped her up.
"Thanks," Emerald said.
Mercury smirked, "I always have to help the damsel in distress" He said in a cocky tone.
Emerald shook her head annoyed. They watched as the girl pushed herself up on her hands and knees next to the lit flare. She smiled as she smashed it with her gauntlet. The two quickly became on guard as the room entered darkness. They waited for movement as they heard a quiet snap of rope.
"AHH! Fuck…" Me Screamed.
Emerald spun her head to him, "Mercury what happened?" She panicked.
"She shot me with an arrow and it pierced through my aura in my left shoulder" He said in between pained breaths.
"We have to get you out, come on" She said as she reached to help him, but was stopped by him.
"Em-Emerald get out of here, I'll catch up" Mercury ordered.
"You idiot you-" She was interrupted by him.
"GO! Now!" Mercury said as jumped towards the direction of the arrow;sounds of his metal legs being blocked echoed on the walls of the cave.
Emerald hesitated but stood and ran for the exit hearing the sounds of metal clanging. She ran for a few minutes until she finally saw light and stopped right outside the exit catching her breath. She was about to call Cinder, but was stopped when she noticed a dark grey haired guy limping towards her while clutching his left shoulder from the cave. She smiled and ran to help him.
"Glad you're okay Mercury" She said as she helped him out of the cave.
"Yea, but Cinder is going to be pissed… that girl is a no go. She didn't really give me a choice" He said tired.
"We'll deal with it when it comes, at least we are not dead. I'm going to call her and report this mission failed." She said as she let go a Mercury nodded.
She walked a few feet away from him and pulled out her scroll and brought Cinders contact up. Unknown to her Mercury walked up silently behind her and smiled as two fangs appeared from his mouth. He slowly made his way to her neck,but before he could bite it;he was tackled into the brush of the forest hard.
Emerald dropped her scroll and spun around, weapons drawn, "Mercury!" She yelled as she ran towards the fighting she could hear.
She emerged from the thick brush and saw two Mercury's wrestling for power over each other. She was shocked at what she was witnessing. Thinking quickly, she drew her revolvers and put them point blank on the temple of both Mercurys.
"Either of you move and I will assume you are the fake and kill you" She said.
Both Mercurys looked at each other dead in the eyes.
"Em, shoot her. She is the fake!" Exclaimed the Mercury on her left.
"That's exactly what the fake would say, don't believe her lies Emerald you know me!" The other shouted.
Emerald was in distress. She couldn't tell them apart. They looked and sounded exactly the same. She didn't want to accidentally kill the real Mercury.
'If I kill the wrong one, Cinder will be pissed and Mercury would be… DAMMIT!" She thought as she argued who was the real one.
"I can prove I'm the real one Em" The one on the left stated.
"How?" Questioned Emerald.
"I kn-know the current color of underwear you have on is" He said nervously.
'WHAT!? How the fuck would he..' Emeralds face got beat red from her thought.
She stared at the Mercury on the left and stared into his soul, waiting for his answer.
"You currently have laced white underwear on" He said.
Emeralds face caught a new shade of red as she shook with visible anger. She brought her right hand back and pistol whipped the other Mercury and broke their aura, knocking him out. She watched as the Mercury she had knocked out slowly changed back to the female they had seen in the cave.
"Well I'm glad that's set-" The real Mercury was cut off by the but of a revolver smashing into his face.
"AHH! What the fuck EM!?" He shouted as he rolled covering his face in pain.
"WHY the HELL do you know what underwear I am wearing you fucking PERVERT!" She screamed.
"It's not my fault somebody was lazy and didn't get her clothes from the dryer when they were done! Gosh at least I didn't say they smelled like mints" He said as he sat back up still covering his face.
"Yo-you... You SMELLED THEM!?" She yelled as she approached him with her fist balled up and her face red from anger and embarrassment.
"What? No! I did not. Your entire batch was just that smell, so I can only assume they did" He explained.
She looked at him, wanting to pound her fist into him. She walked away to get her scroll embarrassment still on her face.
"Grab her and bring her with us, I'm calling Cinder and letting her know we got the person. Fucking pervert" She said the last part under her breath as she walked to her scroll and reported to Cinder.
Emerald and Mercury sat in front of the girl they had brought with them as she was tied up to a chair. The door opened and a Raven haired girl walked in wearing a red dress with a yellow lined pattern across it.
"Is she awake?" The woman asked.
"No, she has shown more movement lately though" Emerald explained.
"Good, I'm going to speed this up with a shock" The woman said as she moved behind the tied up girl.
"Is that safe Cinder?" Mercury asked.
"Yes, she will be fine" The woman said as she placed a small taser like device on her skin and zapped the girl.
"AHH!" The girl awakened in a scream.
She noticed she was tied down and looked around and noticed the two people she had fought and an older woman in front of her.
"What do you want?" She asked in an annoyed voice.
"My name is Cinder and these two are Mercury and Emerald. I have been monitoring you for a while now and think you have an amazing set of skills and as these two have confirmed, I was right" Cinder explained.
"So you kidnapped me to tell me how good of a job I did at kicking your subordinates ass?" The girl asked.
Mercury formed an annoyed look on his face as he was about to get up until Cinder signaled him to stay.
"Not quite. You see, I need help with a certain task, not a small one at that. If you help me I will guarantee you I will help you get one thing of whatever you want in return" Cinder explained to the girl.
The girl looked down and thought about it for a minute.
"You said anything I want?" The girl asked.
"Yes, but only one thing" Cinder said.
"Sooooo…" The girl said as she smiled, "Could you get me the chance to taste the blood of a very specific person?" She finished as licked her lips exposing her fangs.
"I guess if that's what you want, but why their blood?" Cinder asked intrigued.
"I want to taste her blood of course. Ever since I saw her I wanted to be her, I wanted to stick my fangs in her and suck that oh so sweet delicious blood of hers~~" The girl said with hearts forming in her eyes and her voice sounding like a giggling little girl.
Emerald and Mercury just looked at each other wondering what person they had found.
"What do you mean by wanting to be them, how can you do that?" Cinder asked.
"My semblance allows me to drink the blood of another person and I can transform my body to be exactly theirs for a short amount of time. I would "convince" her to come with me where I would keep her in my cave and always have a source of her amazing blood~" The girl said with drool falling from her mouth.
"Okay and who would this person be?" Cinder asked.
"Untie me and I promise to not only show you, but work with you" She said with a smile now.
Cinder hesitated for a moment but untied the girl and she stretched her arms before pulling out her scroll and pulling a picture of the girl up. She showed Cinder who formed a smirk on her face.
"Well it seems our plans coincide with each other. You will definitely have this chance when you go to Beacon in the next phase of our plan" Cinder explained.
The girls' eyes lit up and she squealed in happiness and jumped up and down as she hugged Cinder. Cinder being surprised simply patted her head and firmly picked up her light frame and set her down.
"You will be working with Mercury and Emerald from now on, so will you please tell us your name?" Cinder asked kindly.
"Sally Hex" The girl told the three.
Cinder smiled as she left the room to go finish the planning.
Pyrrha was walking to team RWBY's dorm as she got a text from ruby to come over. It had been about two weeks since her little secret one sided date with Onyx. She smiled at the thought of her time with him as she knocked on Ruby's door.
"Coming!" Came from the other side.
The door flew open revealing a hyper Ruby.
"Ah Pyrrha you came quick! Good come in!" Ruby said as she yanked Pyrrha in with the curve of her Scythe.
"Ruby! You can't yank people with your scythe, you could have cut her or something!" Weiss scolded Ruby.
"It's okay Weiss. I'm sure Ruby wouldn't hurt me on purpose and I'm sure I can handle a cut if it happened" Pyrrha said with a reassuring smile.
"See Weiss," Ruby said as she stuck her tongue out at her partner.
"Anyway Ruby, what did you need me for?" Pyrrha asked.
"OH! The weapon you wanted to get Onyx is ready!" She said as she held off the confirmation text she had received.
"Wait, you getting Onyx a weapon?" Blake asked.
"Uh yea, he relies too much on his semblance and I thought he could use one. I'm giving it to him as a gift" Pyrrha explained with a smile.
"Aww Pyrrha setting in the hook I see~" Yang said while giving Pyrrha a cheeky grin, "Speaking of you two Pyrrha, what happened on you little "mission" huh?" Yang asked.
"Wait did you and Onyx go on a mission!? That's so unfair, why didn't we get one Weiss!?" Ruby asked dejected
"Well probably because sooomebody has a C- in ports class Ruby" Weiss said as she glared at Ruby.
"O-oh wonder who that.. could be…" Ruby said as she got more quiet.
"No Ruby, not that type of mission… Pyrrha here went on a little secret date with Onyx~" Yang explained.
"Yang! Why did you say that?" Pyrrha asked.
"Oh come on Pyrrha, we are all friends right? Plus it's been two weeks and you still haven't mentioned a word about it. Give. Me. Answers." Yang said as she got up and walked up to Pyrrha.
"Okay okay… Yes I like him alright. Your idea helped and yes I have feelings for him like that…" Pyrrha said with a little blush.
"Awww! That's soo cute Pyrrha!" Ruby said gave Pyrrha a hug.
"Have you asked him out yet?" Blake asked while reading.
"No.. not yet" She said dejected.
"What? Why not, it's been two weeks Pyrrha. What if Coco or even Velvet decide to. I doubt Velvet would but you know how Coco can be with language, especially body language~" Yang said suggestively.
Pyrrhas face reddened at the thought, "I'm going to, I have an idea how. First I have to give him this gift" She said.
"Okay, but don't wait too long or somebody might snatch him uuuup~~" Yang cooed.
"Uhggg… stupid feelings" Pyrrha said to herself.
Pyrrha grabbed all the information she needed to collect the gift from the vendor. She was on her way out and looked at Blake and noticed an oddly similar author on the cover of the book she was reading.
"Hey Blake, what's that book you're reading?" Pyrrha asked.
Blakes cheeks grew a tint of pink, "Just a b-book about stuff and things… why do you ask?" She asked Pyrrha.
"I'm pretty sure I saw Onyx reading a book written by that same author, pretty sure it was called "A Knight's Loyal Maiden" as well as the second and third book of that series" She told Blake.
Blakes eyes slightly widened as she stared blankly into her book, completely frozen.
'On-Onyx reads these types of books as well…. Not even that he reads THAT series… oh my… I could barely get through the first one and refused to read the others; it was so intense…but he has all three...' Blake thought to herself as she slowly wiped the blood from her nose.
Pyrrha waited for an answer and stared at the frozen Blake. She walked over and waved her hand at her, taking her out of her shock.
"Wh-why dont you have a seat Pyrrha…" Blake said.
Pyrrha looked at her confused but did as she was told and sat next to Blake, back on her wall.
"So why don't you read this part of my book…" She said as she handed her the book.
Pyrrha, still confused, took the book and began to read it. Reading it revealed there was romance happening in this part of the book and Pyrrha had a smile on her face at the lovey dovey stuff, till one sentence brightened her cheeks. Her eyes widened and her cheeks blushed more and more as she read on in the book. She slowly handed the book to Blake.
"So h-he reads books like this?" Pyrrha questioned.
"Kinda" Was the response she got.
She looked at Blake, "What do you mean kinda?" She asked.
"Well that section you read was one of the most "Intense" chapters in this book...the books he is reading can have scenes a LOT more intense and longer…" She explained.
Pyrrha stared at her then stared blankly in front of her at the thought.
'More intense than that?' She thought.
"Here take a look" Blake said as she passed the first book of the series to her and flipped to a scene.
It was a clear night, Pyrrha was wearing a light, red silk bed dress sitting in front of a lit fire on the grass, tending it. She had been cooking four roast doves over the fire. One for her and three for her knight. She had been rescued from some creatures' keeping her captive. Her knight should have been back by now. She was getting a little worried. She grabbed her dagger he had gifted to her. She left the fire and her knights armor that was sitting next to it. She wandered into the wood line, not far but enough to not see the lit fire. She could hear the owls of the night. The crickets make noise. She suddenly heard a twig break behind her.
"Wh-whos there." She said as nothing responded, "I'm armed!" She said louder to the echoes of the night.
In the moonlit area she saw a figure walkout from the trees. He had his sword up and had a small sleeping rabbit cuddled in his arm. The moon shined onto the mysterious figure, revealing it. Pyrrha released a sigh of relief.
"My knight…" She said softly, but sweetly.
He sheathed his sword and walked up to her in the lit moon light. He took the back of his free hand and softly caressed her cheek, looking deeply into her eyes. He handed the baby sleeping rabbit to Pyrrha. She looked at it with loving eyes and gently took it into her arms and cuddled it.
"Come" Is all the Knight said as he left for the fire.
Pyrrha felt a pull towards his order. Her body moved on its own to the soothing voice of her knight. She felt safe in his presence. Following her knight, she left the brush into the clearing of their camp and saw him sitting by the fire. She gently sat the baby rabbit on her bed five feet from the fire. She sat next to her knight, looking at him in his silk white long sleeve. She could see the definition of his muscles as they pushed on the fabric of his shirt. She blushed as she quickly looked back to the fire. Her knight pulled the four sticks of cooked dove out and handed her one. Pyrrha smiled and took it and started to eat. She quickly finished the meal as she sat her stick on the ground and laid back to look at the stars. She felt so at peace being in the world of pure nature. She could feel the cool grass beneath her as she felt truly free, like animals should be.
She looked at her knight who had also finished eating and was staring at the sky as he sat. She sat back up. As she looked at him she felt a pull towards him, like a moth to a flame. She brought a hand under his chin and turned his head, facing her. He gave a genuine smile of happiness. The moon glistened off his face. She leaned forward and gave him a kiss on his lips, his goatee tickling her face. Pyrrha pulled away and gave him a lovely smile and he pulled her back in for another. Slowly her knight fell backwards on the grass and Pyrrha slowly climbed onto him as their kissing turned into a make-out session. Pyrrha could feel his rough hands exploring her beautiful body, getting every curve. Her heart was pounding as she stuck her tongue into her knights mouth to explore more of him. She was exploring her knights mouth without resistance as he let her do as she wished.
Pyrrha broke from the kiss to get air. Both of them were breathing slightly heavy. Pyrrha stared into the eyes of her knight, admiring the unique and beautiful pattern they had. She traced her fingers over the scar on his right eye. She liked the scar, feeling it made him more attractive. She felt her left hand combing through his mostly white hair. Pyrrha gave a smile and went back to kissing him a little more aggressive this time. Her knight had noticed and suddenly stood up, holding her body in his arms. She quickly wrapped her legs around him. She could feel her heart pound more as he put her back against a tree. She could feel the rough bark of the tree slightly digging into her back, but she wasn't in pain as it was amplifying the experience with her knight.
He was exploring her mouth as she wrapped her hands around his neck. She could feel his hands around her butt, as he was getting a good feel of it. Slowly the knight moved a hand to the top of her thigh, next to her knee. She could feel the warm, rough calloused hand on her smooth cool thigh. Her knight broke the kiss and looked into her entrancing emerald eyes, slowly sliding his hands farther up her thigh. Her breathing became more deep as she let out soft nervous breaths. Her knight stopped, not wanting to hurt her and gave her a look that was asking if it was okay. Pyrrha gave a smile, while nervous, she trusted her knight to take care of her. She gave a nervous nod and brought him back into a kiss. The knight slid his hands up her thigh, caressing it and lightly groping it. Pyrrha let out muffled moans of pleasure. Slowly the Knight inched his way closer and closer to her most precious spot. He broke the kiss and started to kiss her neck and shoulder resulting in a moan from Pyrrha. He lightly caressed the last layer that was between his hand and her womanhood. Pyrrha let out light moans as she tried to close her mouth. He slowly pushed aside the last layer, the last wall to her treasure.
*DING*
A notification from Pyrrha's scroll pulled her from what she had been reading. She pulled out her scroll and noticed a simple ad notification but she also noticed a text from blake she received 10 minutes ago.
"Hey Pyrrha, I took the liberty to get my team away from the room for a bit since I noticed you had spaced out and were completely delved into the book. I'm pretty sure I know what was happening with you. The others dont know a thing and this will stay between us, just please put my sheets in the hamper would you? Thanks ;)"
~~Blake~~
Pyrrha was confused. She looked around the room and noticed that nobody was in the room.
'So Blake did take them somewhere, but why? And why would she want me to put her sheets in the hamper?' She thought to herself.
Pyrrha put her scroll down and noticed her knees were up to her chest and noticed the skirt she had on was closer to her knees than normal.
"That's weird, did I put on a longer sk-!" She stopped herself as she looked down.
'Oh no. nononononononono!' She panicked at the sight of her left hand in her underwear on her precious spot.
Her face immediately went as red as her hair as she figured out what she had done and why Blake took her team away. She quickly pulled her hand back and put her clothes back on right and stood up. She looked back at the spot where she was sitting and felt so embarrassed at the spot she had left. She quickly took the sheets and put them into the hamper and opened the window and left the room. She was walking at a fast pace to get fresh air outside.
'That book… I never felt that…and Onyx reads that right above me…'She thought and her face flushed even more at the thought of Onyx reading that above her. She quickly made her way to the main door and headed outside. She found a nice tree and sat down under it. She sent Blake a quick thank you text. She felt the wind lightly blow. She untied her hair and closed her eyes to catch her breath.
To clear something up that may confuse some people, during the part when Pyrrha is reading the book. Why Pyrrhas name is there instead of that book's name for the girl is because Pyrrha is imagining herself in her position and with the knights characteristics, she was imagining Onyx.
