Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of The Dragon and her rook. Enjoy the 900- word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.
(Branwen Camp, Known by its Song.)
Yang glared at Raven, nobody was coming to help her, and unless Raven wanted to abandon the entire tribe.
"You have nothing to say for yourself?" Yang growled out, yes, she did want to meet Raven for herself, but if the attempt to get her help as a shortcut to Ruby didn't work out?
She had Skyler taking her to Haven where she could guess Ruby was heading.
"You want me to say something? I thought you came here to get my semblance so you can reach your sister…" Raven said as Yang continued to glare.
"You walked out on my father while I was a baby… You abandoned all of us just so you could go on a warpath up Mistral with your little bandit army? I was going to tell Skyler he was wrong about you, I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt." Yang said before she looked her mother in the eye.
"I see right now both dad and he was right, you don't care about anything but strength…. You probably even laughed when Merlot rampaged through Vale." Yang said as she sat up.
"I wasted my time here… You're just going to lie about things or refuse to admit why you left…." Yang said before she walked towards the door.
"I think it's funny you said that after your walking around with the nephew of a warmonger… One who wasn't even strong enough to save Vale and who lost his arm… All to save you…" Raven said, Yang turned and fired a shot which blew the table into pieces, her eyes were crimson red.
She kicked the door down and left, her arm shaking. She didn't let Raven see the tear she flicked away. Skyler was talking to Winter while the Atlesian Troops continued to police the Bandits.
"I have to point out that I told you something and you shot back over here? I had things handled." Skyler stated as Winter gestured to the bandits.
"I can see why, there are dozens of soldiers here. I wasn't needed where I needed." Winter said before Skyler looked over at Yang.
"We done here?" Skyler asked, looking over the bandits. He wanted to arrest them, but he knew there were more soldiers in the tribe, and if he tried arresting them, Raven would step in.
"Yes, we are, let's get going… She's entirely like dad and you said." Yang said as Skyler nodded before 4 Atlas Dropships and a Manta flew down.
"Winter, I'll meet you soon… Make sure nobody gets hurt when you go." Skyler said, Winter nodded, and Skyler and Yang stepped into the manta which flew up to Blizzard.
"Yang, your crying…" Skyler said, Yang's arm shook and Skyler wrapped her arms around her and continued rubbing her back.
"She isn't going to hurt you again; we find Ruby without her… But we need to get moving, we can't find them if we're waiting around to find them." Skyler stated, he didn't want to say anything. Raven could still be spying on them; he'd order a check of the dropships and Manta when they got back to the Blizzard.
"I know…" Yang said, less than a few sentences and she was crying. She was angry at herself, Skyler continued soothing her.
"I'm staying with you for a while, you're scaring me when you are this quiet and withdrawn," Skyler said, Bran could take over the trip to Haven, Yang and his men were more important than the ship.
"Colonel, I think we should get moving." Skyler heard from one of the soldiers as they landed, he turned to them.
"I want every craft swept for listening devices before you talk about the mission. I'm going with Lieutenant Xiao Long to her room to talk with her… Tell Bran to get us moving." Skyler ordered while he helped Yang out of the Manta.
"Yang, c'mon, this way…" Skyler said, helping the Blonde Brawler towards her room, she calmed down though, but Skyler didn't want to have her deal with another panic attack alone.
"Sir, What about Specialist Schnee?" He heard from another soldier as he helped Yang down the hall.
"She says something, you let me know, I'm going to be dealing with something important, soldier," Skyler said before he turned and helped Yang into her room and sat her down on her bed.
"Yang, it doesn't matter what she thinks, you've moved on from her, you don't need her approval… You've already gotten it from the important people in your family… The people who matter… You know they're proud of you… I won't let her words get to you." Skyler said as he hugged Yang into his chest.
He stroked her golden hair; he hadn't had someone so close to his heart like this. He knew though he'd never let her suffer again.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter is done! Yes, I know the chapter is short, soon that will change. I also want to point out that Skyler and Yang will be heading to Haven by the next chapter. I also want to point out that the next chapter next Saturday will be short. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
