A/N

After posting this, I noticed some small issues. So, if you happen to re-read this and there are things that are different I did make a few changes.


Hoping she could keep her emotions in check, Yang walked to the front gate. As the gravel crunched underneath her feet Yang looked up at the moon and thought about Blake's bruises. Over the last couple of hours, that's all she could think about.

As Yang started climbing the ladder she heard from above, "Hey! Don't say things like that!"

"Look, I'm just saying, you could stand to lighten up a bit. The people around here just don't know the real Weiss." Said Ruby.

Yang had reached the top of the ladder.

"Hello Yang, how was training?" asked Weiss.

"It was...Long story short, you were right Weiss. Adam... " Yang looked around to see if anyone was in earshot. "We have to get out of this camp. We have to leave it behind and go our own way. If we don't Blake is as good as dead, and after she's gone there won't be anyone around to subdue Adam. He will go on a rampage, destroying anything that reminds him of Blake...and that includes both of you. But, we're not going to let that happen."

Weiss and Ruby looked shocked.

After a few moments of silence, Ruby said: "But where would we go?"

"Right about what?" Asked Weiss.

"We haven't figured that out yet...but anything is better than staying here under Adam. And Weiss he hits her...guys Adam hits her..."

Weiss said, "I understand the desire to leave...I really do, but why couldn't we stay here? Why not just take over?"

"Do you really think we could take on Adam, Wolfe, the fox brothers, and the rest of his Faunus radicals? Even before the fall, he was amassing Faunus to start a rebellion. It's true that they are not as powerful as they used to be, but they still outnumber us two to one. And that's including Jaune, Ren, and Nora...And they don't even know about any of this yet!" Yang sounded exasperated, she was trying to keep herself from crying.

"Yang, is it really that bad?" Asked Ruby.

Staring out over the wall Yang saw a walker slowly shambling down the street towards the camp. For the first time since all of this started, she couldn't help thinking about everyone she's lost.

She thought of Pyrrha, and how she sacrificed herself so the rest of them could get out of the school. The building they were in was just one long straight hallway. If you walked through the front door, you could see the 700 feet to the other side of the school. The hallways were lined with blue and green lockers. The floors were white tiles with a random black tile every ten to fifteen squares. There was a librarian at the school who was a panther Faunus who was blocking the exit.

Faunus undead keep some of the traits from their animal counterpart. Yang has found that the infection will sometimes bring out traits that weren't present when the person was alive. Although she didn't know it at the time, this Faunus was one such undead. When he was alive he had retractable claws, but in his undead form he had grown fangs that stuck out from his lips and he had started running on all remembered how Pyrrha had been using a wooden mop handle to take on the undead.

He charged them, Pyrrha, Ruby, Weiss, Ren, Nora, Jaune, Yang and Blake.

"Don't wait for me! Just get out of here!" Yelled Pyrrha, she kissed Jaune one last time and before anyone could stop her she charged. There was an open door to a classroom on the left side of the hallway. She brought her makeshift staff up and hit the walker under his jaw making it stand up, she used that opportunity to side step and push him sideways and into the classroom, but it was too late. He had reached under her guard and sunk one of his hands deep into the side of her stomach and the other in her ribs. She screamed in pain, took one last look at them and pushed herself into him, making the walker stumble back into the classroom her landing on top of him. Her final attempt to save them was to close the door with her foot as the walker bit into her neck.

Yang remembered Ren, Nora, and Ruby all having to drag Jaune away to keep him from opening that door. The group Ran outside to find more carnage, classmates eating teachers, blood spatter everywhere. Yang was certain they were all going to die.

"He should be here...where is he!? Yelled Blake.
Out of nowhere, a bus came careening around the corner of the building. It stopped just short of the group, the doors opened and Yang saw Adam at the helm.

"Get in!" he yelled.

At the time Yang was extremely grateful for Adam she thought she owed her life to him.
Then she remembered Blake...and the bruises all over her body. She remembered how awful Adam had treated Ruby and she remembered those eyes. The ones that looked at her with such a smug satisfaction.

Yang's hand started to hurt, but it wasn't like it was earlier, this time it was a dull pain, just barely noticeable.

"You didn't see the bruises...and on top of everything...I think Adam did something to me too. I still can't remember everything...but it has something to do with this." She lifted her arm.

Weiss replied, "Your hand?"

"Why would he do that?" Said Ruby.

"I don't know…" Yang's voiced cracked. "I just know that whenever I think about that look Adam had...my hand starts to hurt, almost like my body is trying to tell me something."

Ruby and Weiss walked up to Yang and hugged her.

"What can we do to help?" asked Weiss.
