There was silence in the room. You could only hear the sound of the breeze as it cooled down the room a bit through the open window. They turned off the AC because it was far from silent. Now everything was so quiet that it wasn't a problem for Blake to hear what she did. Her ears turned to the sound as soon as it happened. She opened her eyes and sat up without causing the bed to creak. She looked around to make sure everyone was asleep. She had to check out the source of the sound so she stood up with extreme caution.

She saw Weiss was sleeping peacefully and then she noticed the control of her collar sitting on the night table. She had an idea about the thing she heard so she grabbed it and then left the room, closing the door just as quietly.

She was going to the place that she wanted to avoid for a while. When she passed out and then woke up after a few hours, she needed a little time to remember what she did again. After seeing that collar on her neck she knew that she can't change anymore. She tried so hard but this thing proved that it was all in vain. This moment was about to happen sooner or later.

She punched that faunus to wake up but he didn't. Now she had a feeling that he finally managed to. Of course the first thing he would do is to escape so she had to make sure if what she had in mind was correct. She started running to get there faster because she had a feeling that faunus wasn't in the house anymore. When she got there she noticed the big lock on the door with the text "Blake is not allowed." It's really funny. At least they didn't write 'faunus'.

She forgot about this completely. She rushed back to their room and the only choice she had was to climb out of the window. When she looked out she did notice a shady person running out of the gate to the road. Then her intuition was right. She climbed out to the verge and started making her way to the ground. When her feet touched the surface she started running to the direction she could sense that faunus.

She rushed out of the property and catched a glimpse of that fox climbing into a car a little further away from her position. Oh no you won't escape! Her anger was already boosting her legs to run faster. The other faunus noticed her through the back window and hurried the driver to start the engine and get the hell out of here. It did start moving and Blake only needed a few meters to reach it.

Blake POV

I had to give all my power because if I lose him now I won't be able to find him ever again. The only lead to this Salem woman that I got info on is through him. He must know something about it.

The car was already speeding away but I just managed to jump on top of it. I had to climb a bit to really get to the top because it was almost out of my reach. They must have heard the loud bang as I landed on it. I crawled my way to the front of its top as I broke the window where the passenger's seat was. The driver swerved the wheel in his surprise and we almost crashed into one building before he could get the car back to the road. I had to hold onto it with all my might if I didn't want to fall from it.

I got a hold of the top of the car where the window was once there and jumped into it. The other faunus was at the back and I immediately threw myself onto him. Who opened the door just as quickly and jumped out of the car as response to my attack. He was rolling on the road as we drove past him.

"Stop the fucking car!" After my aggressive command, the driver hit the brakes with all his weight. I quickly buckled up prior to this so I wouldn't hit my head into anything. When the car stopped I kicked the door open and got out of the car. I saw the guy laying in the middle of the road as he was getting up slowly. I could see he was in pain but of course he was when he jumped out of a fast moving car. He looked at me but not waiting for long to start running the opposite direction of me.

I followed without a second thought and he was running into the shopping mall, shoving people out of the way. I did the same as I couldn't care less about them. My only objective is to catch him and bring him back where he should be staying right now.

He was rushing up the escalator, hitting people out of the way through the process. I wanted to make a shortcut as I started to climb up to the second floor. I used one of the stalls that was located there as I jumped on top and started climbing my way up on the wall. I didn't care what people thought about this, I just had to catch him already.

When I got up he was running exactly in that direction so as a sneak attack, I appeared in front of him, kicking him in the face as I jumped up, arriving at the second floor. People started running all over the place as they tried to escape the scene. The guy landed in a clothing shop in one of the clothes racks. When I walked in with the most angriest expression on my face, the guard walked in front of me with his hand on a pistol. He blocked my way so I punched him on the face and that was enough for him to drop on the floor. I got the pistol out of its holder and I emptied the magazine. All the bullets dropped on the floor as that faunus I kicked into the shop tried to get out of his daze.

I tossed the weapon next to the guard but what I saw was another two guards in the entrance of the shop. They aimed their M1911 at me as I tried to think of a solution to deal with them. I held my hands up so they would walk closer to me, giving me an opening. I looked behind me for only a second to make sure that my escapee didn't make a run for it. He was still trying to clear his consciousness as he managed to hit his head on the rack. It already left a red spot on it as blood came out from his temple.

When the guard got closer to me and I still had my hands on the back of my head, I fastly grabbed his weapon, wringing it out of his hands as I hit his head with the grip of the pistol, covering my body with his as the other guard started to shoot my way. He only killed his colleague as I used him as a shield. I tossed his body at him and then jumped behind him, doing the same with him that I did with his buddy. Both of them were down. One of them was unconscious, one of them maybe dead but I wasn't the one who killed him.

I turned my attention back to the faunus I was chasing and I saw him running deeper into the shop. I immediately started aiming with the weapon I was holding, but instead of shooting him in the leg, I threw the whole thing his way. It only hit his back even though I aimed for his head. My aiming wasn't that good but I still managed to slow him down. I followed him by sprinting his way as he ran into the dressing room. How is he planning to escape from there?

Everyone was running out of that shop by now and they already started to close the whole mall down. I didn't have much time till more guards got here. Great. The best thing will be if I get arrested.

I followed him to the dressing room but he wasn't there. But I realized I was stupid as soon as I got a hit on my face with a clothes hanger. My face started to bleed but I didn't have the time now to wipe it off. He aimed at me again but for this time I successfully stopped his attempt and gave a punch back to appreciate his gift. He landed on the floor and the hanger stayed in my hand. I then let go of it. It hit the ground with a click and I started walking his way slowly. I noticed there was a window so I had an escape route.

I almost got to him but he kicked me in the guts. I couldn't recover from it before I got another kick to my nose. The impact from his boots made it start bleeding and he might even broke it. I could see him jump up from the floor as he rushed toward me and landed in me like a bull, shoving me into the wall. It cracked from the blow and I got another few punches in my face before I managed to get a hold of his head and sent it into my knee. I soon favored that kick in the stomach he gave me earlier. He plopped on the ground as the blow was quite powerful.

I didn't feel the pain anymore as I started to lose it again. He looked normal even though he was scratched everywhere. Well, I didn't look better but I got angry from this. He was still laying on the floor as I jumped onto him. I was choking him with my strong grip. He could only hold my hands to prevent this but he couldn't get air into his lungs.

When he almost passed out I let him go, earning huge gasps from him. I punched the floor next to his face which almost made him shit his pants.

"What do you know about Salem? Was she the one who sent you here?" I asked, raising my voice and I didn't need much to aim the next punch to his face. He was only laughing which made me pop a vein on my temple.

"Who is that? Sounds pretty lam—" I sent a fierceful one to his face as it bounced back but he still had his eyes open but got a little drowsy after that.

"WHO THE FUCK IS SHE!? ANSWER ME YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" I really didn't need much to snap fully. He still had to compose himself after that blow.

"You will get to see, don't worry about that. You don't have much time anyway… She always gets what she wants…" He said, showing me his bloody teeth as he spat that into my face. That caused me to lose it fully. I started punching him from left to right as I did on that ship. But this time no one was here to stop me. I didn't stop even when I felt his body become limp and he wasn't breathing anymore. I kept going 'till I almost got to see the insides of his head.

The rage that I felt didn't stop as I shouted in anger. I linked my fingers together as I raised my arms in the air and started hitting him that way. It was slower but the impact was bigger. I already beated him to death but I couldn't stop.

From the corner of my eyes I could see the remote of my collar slipping out of my pocket. I could still feel a little sane part of me there as I tried to force one of my hands to the direction of the remote. With the other, I couldn't stop hitting him. I murdered this person right here and I broke all my effort that kept up this whole time. I almost reached the button that would get me zapped.

When I got the control from the table next to Weiss' bed and got to see it closely, I saw that there were levels on it. It was on the highest but that would cause me to faint. So I lowered it a bit that would only toss me out of this state. I hoped that I wouldn't have to use it, but I put it into my pocket just in case.

I almost got it, I only needed to reach for it a little more. It was a force that kept me from doing this. It wanted me to keep punching his face to the point where I could see his brain. I really didn't need much and it was disgusting. Blood splattered everywhere on my face that wasn't mine.

But then I could finally click on that button and all I could feel was the shock. It didn't last long but just enough to make my mind clear and get myself back from the state I was in. When I saw what I did, I jumped back as I slapped my hands on my mouth. Not long after that I was throwing up as I couldn't bear the sight in front of me.

I heard footsteps coming this way so I composed myself quickly. I got the remote from the floor as I ran to the window and opened it. I climbed out and shut it from outside so it would look closed. All I did from there was run and cry my eyes out as I couldn't believe what I did. I couldn't get anything useful out of him and all I could remember is a few words from him before I lost it completely. I ran back to the house, trying to force my mind to forget all this. But how could I?

—

I was standing in front of the door of our rooms. My clothes and body were covered in blood. I felt terrible and all I could want to do is to go to sleep and hope that I forget everything the next day. But I knew that I wouldn't be able to sleep after what I did.

I opened it and it was still dark in the room. I was watching the floor as I concentrated to be as quiet as you possibly can. I closed the door with a little click. I was still holding the handle when I heard it.

"Blake…?" I heard Weiss' voice and it didn't sound like she was tired. I could hear from it that she was up for a while now. No. How could I look her in the eye after this? How can I even explain this? She needs to know the truth but it's hurting so much that it almost makes me explode.

I turned around slowly, and when I saw her expression I was sure that the little light from the window showed the state of my face clearly to her. I couldn't keep looking into her eyes anymore. Instead I watched the floor. She stood up and walked close to me. She reached up to my face with her arm but I stopped it.

"No…" I said as she could see the hurt in my eyes. I walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind me.

—

Weiss leaned on the closed door and she had no idea what to think of this. Where was she? Why is she bleeding everywhere?

Blake was standing in front of the mirror without her clothes on. She already tossed almost everything to the floor. She was only in her sports bra and her boxers as she looked at her beat up body. She had a hard time looking at her reflection without punching herself. I hate it. Myself…

She fisted her hand and hit the sink instead. Thinking about how horrible a person she is. She is not even one. She is an animal, however she looks at it. She can't control her anger. Whatever is going on with her is all just her. There is no evil force that makes her do this. She has to accept that it's just her. That lost part that she kept inside but now it's showing itself. Why couldn't they just kill her in the White Fang instead of tossing her out on the street? Why couldn't they just end it all there? That way, no one would have to suffer.

"Blake…" She heard Weiss' muffled voice from the other side but she didn't pay attention to it. All she could see was a smirking reflection of her while she forced her mouth close, feeling it shaking. "...I'll come in."

Weiss opened the door slowly and saw the back of the faunus which was bruised all over but most of it was hidden by her long hair. She wanted to know where she was and what happened.

"Are you… okay?" She asked Blake but she didn't reply, still looking in the mirror while holding the sink from both sides. She was on the verge of crying. She doesn't deserve any of these people. She deserves no one, and she doesn't blame anyone for leaving her. They made the right choice.

Weiss could see her from the mirror and she could see the pain on her face. She also saw her smashed up face and she was bleeding. Some of it was even dripping on the sink.

"What… happened?" Her voice was breaking but the only reaction from the faunus was to shut her eyes closed and bend her head down. She looked like she was wincing from an incoming punch. Something horrible happened and she has a hard time telling Weiss about it. The heiress couldn't keep it in her anymore.

She walked to her and hugged her from behind. She pushed herself close to Blake as there were no gaps between their bodies. The faunus could feel everything and from the mirror she could only see the heiress' arms as they were wrapped around her stomach. She clenched the collar on her neck as she started to release what she tried to hold inside of her. The tear drops washed the already dropped blood in the sink. What was in it showed a mix of sadness and anger. It almost looked like her. The one that would never kill anyone and the one that is eager to murder. Here, the red one was ruling over the other.

Weiss could hear the sniffs and the tenseness of Blake's body every time she shook it from the crying. She had no idea what happened but she knew that on this night, Blake had to witness something she tried not to. She didn't want to make her explain it all right now. The only thing she wanted was for her to calm down. But her crying only became louder as she was pulling the collar on her neck, almost choking herself with it.

She touched Weiss' arms with her other one, keeping her close while she could.
