RWBY: Lost and Forgotten
Chapter 29
Chrome
Reaching the house, we walked inside and I put Sun on the couch. "Need any help?" I asked as Blake pulled out a first aid kit.
"I got it from here." she replied.
"Alright." leaving the room, I walked outside and onto the balcony. Leaning against the railing, I again stared out at the trees.
As the wind blew against me, my thoughts drifted to Yang. I wondered what she was doing, if she was okay. If she was safe, and how she was holding up. Part of me wished she was here.
And I hated myself for leaving her behind.
I wouldn't blame her if she wanted nothing to do with me. How I just left her, didn't even think about her until I got on the boat, was unforgivable.
Sighing, I turned around and walked back inside. Walking through the door, I saw Sun, Blake, mom and dad all in the same room. "We're not going to destroy the White Fang. We're going to take it back." Blake said.
"What?" all of them turned to me. "How exactly do you plan to retake the White Fang? We have no supporters, and Sienna Kahn is still respected by the members of the White Fang. They wouldn't just side with us."
"It won't happen in one night, Chrome." Blake told me. "We'll need time to get things ready."
I thought it over for a few seconds. "Fine. What do we do?"
"We can start by getting some of the Faunus here on our side." Blake said. "Maybe if we can get enough of them to go with us to Haven, we can stop Adam."
"Wait, what's going on in Haven?"
Dad stepped forward. "I got word that Adam Taurus is planning to overthrow Sienna Kahn and attack Haven."
"Which means we need to do this quick." Blake said.
"Where do we start?"
Hours later
Dad and Sun both stormed into the house. "Unbelievable!"
"Total garbage!"
The two then turned to each other. "We can't let them get away with this!"
Me and mom stepped into the house. "Well, at least you two can finally agree on something." she said with a smile.
They look at her before each other again. Sun gave a nervous chuckle as dad just growled. "What now?" I asked.
"Guys. Everything's going to be okay." Blake said as she entered the house as well.
"Okay. While you guys come up with a new plan, I'm going to grab some fresh air." I walked up the stairs and towards the balcony door. Opening it, I stepped outside.
"Good evening." the guard said once she noticed me. "Can I get you anything?"
"Just some time alone."
She nodded. "Sure thing. Just call, if you need me." she walked inside and closed the door behind her.
Leaning over the railing, I let out a sigh. "You need better security." Ilia dropped down and onto the railing. Reaching behind me, I gripped one of my swords and pulled it in front of me, at the ready. "Please! I just need to talk."
"I thought I told you to stay away!" I growled at her.
"Chrome..."
"Why would you take the blame for them, Ilia?" I asked her. "Corsac and Fennec blamed you. We confronted them tonight, and they deny knowing anything and everything found on your Scroll. They talked about how disappointed they were to hear that you'd sided with Adam. But you and I both know they're guilty."
"You can't prove anything."
"Maybe. But let's see how the Faunus here react when we go public tomorrow." I placed my sword on my back.
Ilia slowly removed her mask, a solemn look on her face. "Your plan isn't gonna work, Chrome. Please... just leave Menagerie before it's too late."
I glared at her. "Make me."
Ilia sighed before placing her mask back on and stepping off the railing. Letting out a sigh, I leaned back over the railing. "Damnit, Ilia. What happened to you?"
