Blake was annoyed.

To say such was a common occurrence would be an understatement.

Her teammates had a habit of not letting her get any downtime.

Case in point, she had just found a good book, and her teammate was already pestering her.

"Blake, come on, there's something we want to show you!" said Ruby excitedly.

She sighed, "Will you leave me alone if I go?"

"Yeah, sure, just come!" blurted Ruby.

"Fine"

Blake marked her page and descended from her bunk.

Ruby was a fine leader and friend, but if she put her mind to something, she would never let it go.

Blake just hoped it would be quick as she started to follow.

Eventually, after the annoyingly long walk from the school, the two made it to the Beacon Academy cliffs where Yang and Weiss were already sat down.

"Hey Blakey, you made it." grinned Yang

"What did you guys drag me all the way out here for?" asked Blake, more than a little irritated.

She swore if this was one of Yang's stupid jokes, she was giving her the silent treatment for a week.

"Just look." scoffed Weiss

Blake rolled her eyes and looked beyond the cliffside.

What she saw took her breath away.

The sun had risen just above the mountains to create an orange glow and a strange feeling of warmth.

Blake, stunned, sat down beside her teammates to bask in its brilliant light.

She had seen a sun like this before.

Once when she had lived in Menagerie, she and Adam had roamed its sparkling beaches where they were entranced by a beautiful sunrise.

Adam had said that the sun represented the future they were fighting for, a beautiful future full of warmth and tranquility.

A future that was just out of reach, but if they tried hard enough, they could maybe, just maybe, be able to grasp it.

He said that they would grasp that future together.

She believed him.

Back then, things had been different.

She shook herself from her thoughts and took in the scene before her.

Her teammates watched the sunrise in awe with smiles on their faces.

She smiled and joined them.

Why think of her dark past when she had such a bright future ahead of her?
