Chapter 23:
(three days later)
"WRY-WRY! WRY-WRY!"
Weiss groaned at the constant shrieking from her twin's ex fiancée. Ever since she had arrived, all Orchid had done was cry out at the object of her affection, thinking that he would come out of whatever hole he was hiding in so that they could pick up where they left off. Weiss was thankful that the possessive girl had yet to lay a hand on her brother, though she was slightly miffed at Blake when she found out that she had left him to fend for himself that first night. But seeing as how Orchid was still roaming the halls of Beacon constantly shouting her pet name for him Weiss was sure that she had yet to actually claim him. Since that point, no one had seen or even heard from her twin and saying that Weiss was worried for him was an understatement, even though the fact that even she herself couldn't locate him ensured her that Orchid never would. She was thankful for the small silver lining. But for someone in his condition to be missing for so long… The thought made her worry.
"WRY-WRY!" Came another call from the purple haired girl from somewhere around the school. Orchid may have been a high-class girl, but damn her voice carried a hefty amount of both worry and authority.
"Will she ever stop yelling?" Weiss questioned out loud slamming her head against the desk that she and her team were sat behind in their final lesson of the day. Like the rest of her team, she was already beyond tired seeing as how they had been spending most of their free time over the last few days developing a plan to bring down the White Fang. However, due to her weaker body, she was feeling more than just the lack of sleep. Her legs were starting to cause her trouble again, yet she only collapsed once in the past week. She did well to hide that fact from the rest of her teammates. "This is all your fault Blake." She scoffed, turning her head to the side so that she could glare at the Faunus.
"Me?" Blake questioned accusingly. "What did I do?"
"You left him alone with that bitch."
"Language." Ruby chipped in. She was starting to get used to her partner flaring up at anything involving her twin. Though she had been avoiding Coal since he had come out of hospital a few weeks ago, she was still worried about his whereabouts. She wasn't heartless after all.
"I still don't see how this is my fault." Blake deadpanned emotionlessly.
"Just chill out Weiss." Yang said poking her head around her partner to cast the Schnee a smirk. "You know she's just jealous."
"Jealous of what exactly?" Blake growled in annoyance. She knew by now exactly what her partner was implying, but why was a completely different question.
"The fact that Coal is getting married to someone other than you." Yang smirked at Blake knowingly. She could see the fury arise in Blake's amber eyes before the Faunus' expression changed, or rather, it completely deflated. Blake cast her eyes back down at her notes and without word, continued to work in complete silence. Something that cause Yang to grow concerned… Had she just broken Blake? "Blake I…"
"Yang that's enough." Weiss interjected on behalf of the Faunus who looked as though she hadn't even heard either of them speak across her. The bell rang to signal the end of the day's lessons and Team RWBY all stood up to leave the classroom and head back to their dorm room. Blake was the first to leave as she left at a rather quick pace, leaving Ruby, Weiss and Yang to follow a few steps behind the Faunus when Weiss rounded on Yang. "You're going way too far with this. Instead of bringing them together, I think you're actually pushing them away."
"Well what else are we supposed to do?" Yang questioned. "Neither of them will admit to it so we need to force a confession out of them."
"Your forgetting that Coal hasn't been seen in three days." Weiss argued back. "And besides… I don't know if he could even spare the time for a relationship at this point."
"What do you mean by that?" Yang asked raising an eyebrow. The way the Weiss had said that lead the blond to believe that the Schnee knew more than she was letting on.
"Nothing…" Weiss said quietly. "Just forget I said anything."
Up ahead, Blake was silently questioning herself. After all the teasing she had received, all the comments that had been made about her and the human, why had that one hurt more than the rest? It didn't take her long to figure out why. She remembered the feeling of jealousy she had when she was younger, when she first started crushing on Adam and he would spend his time with other girls. She was ticked at the fact that she hadn't realised it sooner, that it had taken her partner to voice it openly for her to actually accept it. Ever since the stunning, beautiful, drop dead gorgeous purple haired busty goddess had announced that she was his fiancée, that feeling had arose in the pit of her stomach. The simple fact of knowing that it was there pissed her off beyond comparison. Yang had been right… There was something between her and the human.
And now he was gone, he had left to who knows where and she could do nothing to get him back. The first day when he hadn't shown up to class, she had gone down to the pier that evening in hopes of finding him there. Like he promised her that he would be there if she needed to find him. Unfortunately, after waiting for hours for him to show up, he never did and thus returned to her room in a depressed state. She repeated the same thing yesterday evening also, in hopes that he would be there that time, yet once again she returned by herself. In hindsight, the amount of light flirting they did between one another she was surprised when she had finally figured it out that just maybe she did have a slight fondness for the human. She needed time to figure out just what she was feeling, and when Coal returned, how to express whatever it was that she felt… Or burry it. Right now she would prefer to burry any feeling towards anyone at this point.
Blake separated off from her team and entered Coal's room in order to figure out exactly what it was that she felt towards him. Seeing as how he wasn't around at the moment, for better or worse Blake wasn't too sure, being around his things and habitat was as close as she could get. As soon as she entered the room, she was hit with a strong smell of alcohol… That was definitely a mark against the human, she hated alcohol and the pain that came from someone who just returned home after a night out on the piss. Shuddering at that memory of her previous life, she looked around the room for something more uplifting.
Yet nothing immediately came to mind. His room was a mess of papers and for some reason there was a broken chair scattered over the floor… Definitely not the cleanliest of people. She moved over to examine the papers, which she assumed were more of his notes from his late-night study sessions. What she didn't expect to find, were detailed medical records as well as a lot of dust analysis of biological subjects… She could not understand more than a few sentences, but one fact kept cropping up, something in reference to 'rate of survival', and the number '24' written over and over again across most of the scribbles of his notes. She shrugged off the notes for now, seeing as though she couldn't exactly make head or tails of any of the words or equations that filled the pages and once more looked around the room, hoping to find an answer for her inward struggles. Yet once more, nothing. Blake huffed when she realised that just by looking through his stuff she wasn't going to get much of an answer as to why she was feeling what she was, if anything it was just making her more confused. Blake grumbled in annoyance at how she was no closer to figuring out what it was that was actually bothering her. Why was she feeling jealous in the first place anyway? There was nothing between her and the human so why was she trying to find something that wasn't there? She could just leave things as they were and return to her room and read…
Except she didn't.
Blake couldn't shake the concern of wondering where Coal currently was. She was starting to think that perhaps he had returned to the asylum but after voicing that opinion once already that morning, she was quickly reassured by Weiss who insisted that he would be somewhere in Vale if not around the school… In hindsight, Blake started to wonder why the Schnee sounded so sure about that fact. Blake shrugged off that little thought for later, right now she knew that one thing was for certain, no matter what she felt towards Coal, she knew that she hated that ex fiancée of his. There had to be some way of getting rid of her before she blew a fuse at the wrong time and cause a scene that would without a doubt cause more problems than it would be worth. The question was how to get rid of said annoyance without generating a fuss.
First of all, she needed to find out exactly why she was here and how she could wonder the halls of Beacon without question. That meant that Blake needed to talk to the headmaster of the school, only then could she remove the ex-fiancée from the equation. Purely because of the fact that the girl was just an utter annoyance, it had nothing to do with the fact that she would then have Coal all to herself. No, she defiantly wasn't thinking that… Why did that damn human have to leave her so confused. And why did Yang have to worsen that fact, couldn't she just let her have what she already has with the human and let her be?
(Ozpin's Office)
"Ah Ms. Belladonna." The headmaster said as the elevator doors opened up to his office and said Faunus walked in. "What brings you all the way up here?" He asked as Blake took a seat across from him at his desk without asking or being prompted to sit. By the looks of things, the headmaster must have just been discussing something with someone as there was a second coffee mug on the table as well as a half-finished game of chess.
"Professor…"
"Hold that thought a moment if you please." Ozpin interrupted holding up a finger. "She's not here Mr. Valliant!" He shouted. the door off to the side opened up and in walked the missing human looking very grateful at the fact that it was Blake who appeared instead of one of his worst nightmares.
"Thank fuck it's you kitten." He sighed with relief as he approached the Faunus and headmaster. "I thought she might have come back again…"
"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE!" Blake yelled furiously as she got right up in the human's face, their noses almost touching. "Do you have any idea how worried I was… How worried we were when you went missing for a SECOND time!"
"Whoa, Kitten." Coal surrendered putting both hands up in defence. Blake did not back down though as she found the space to bring their faces even closer together and started hurling abuse at the human, letting out a fair amount of the built-up frustration that had arose the moment a certain purple haired girl appeared and made that ridiculous announcement.
Ozpin just chuckled silently at the scene. He had watched the Human and Faunus interact with one another around the school before and found it rather entertaining that how two completely different people, two completely different species could be so comfortable with one another. As the argument progressed, Coal's childish smile grew bigger and bigger as he made sarcastic comments towards the hidden Faunus, who after a short amount of time also showed a small smile. Though she still kept hurling abuse.
"You complete and utter asshole!" Blake finished taking in a rather long breath having completely exhausted her frustration.
"Better?" Coal asked smirking, lowering his surrender.
"Much better actually." Blake smiled back before reaching up to pull on his ear, hard. "But next time, tell me where you wonder off to."
"OW! Why?" Coal yelped in pain. Blake only pulled harder on his ear giving him no verbal answer but one that Coal was learning to translate into, 'Just shut up for once and do as your told.' "OW! Okay, okay… Sheesh." Blake smirked in victory and released his ear. Ozpin could not believe what he had just witnessed. The Atlas military's executioner who had no respect for authority, other than his sister Winter of course, a man who could bring fear to many criminals by mere name alone and had gone above and beyond to damage every asset the White Fang possessed… Was whipped. At least with the Faunus it was more metaphorical than Physical.
"As much as I find this display of young love amusing," Ozpin chuckled into his coffee mug. "Do you think we can finish out game Mr. Valiant?" Coal shrugged and stood opposite the headmaster, leaving the seat open for the Faunus, and studied the board before making a move showing no reaction to the headmasters dig at the relationship he held with the Faunus. Coal just assumed that there wasn't anything between them anyway and payed the insult no mind. He didn't have the time to waste on a relationship anyway. He never even noticed the Faunus blushing uncontrollably behind him as she took the open seat. "So Ms. Belladonna, why did you come all the way up here to see me seeing as how you had no idea that he was here." Ozpin asked the Faunus gesturing to the boy opposite him as he made his move. "Check."
"It's about that Orchid girl." Blake stated as Coal made his move with little thought. "Why does she get to walk around the school like she owns the place?"
"Jealous, are we?" Ozpin chuckled moving another chess piece. "That was actually something we have been discussing over the many games we have played over the last few days. Check."
"It is a little to convenient…" Coal announced as he made his move almost uninterested in the game. "Why would the daughter or a military weapons contractor come the Vale merely weeks after there was a White Fang sighting and attempted robbery. If she is here, then her father must be… Something just doesn't sit right with me."
"You know the Octavian family better than I, check, but with regards to that I highly doubt that such a highly-respected family would be involved in black market weapon trades with the White Fang." Ozpin argued. Blake could only remain silent at the old huntsman and teen discussed politics over a game of chess. It was uncanny to see Coal in such a formal state and look so content as he made another move.
"That being said Grey…" Coal said as he leaned across the desk slightly. "My gut is telling me that something is not right here. She knew where I was to begin with and could have chosen anytime to try and claim me again… So why now?"
Ozpin sighed. When he had first been asked by his old friend the general to accept the boy and his sister into his academy, he had been given two pieces of advice for handling the soldier. Don't piss him off and his gut is usually right.
"Let's leave that little question for now… Ms. Belladonna?"
"Hm?"
"I would like your opinion on something that we have been arguing about over the past couple of days."
"Shut up Grey." Coal growled only for the headmaster to silence him by raising a hand.
"You see, Mr. Valiant and I are at a sort of impasse here. A friend of mine is currently at deaths door with very little hope of surviving to see the new year, there is an operation which can cure him however the chances of surviving that process is a very slim chance… Mr Valiant here believes that my friend should use his remaining time on discovering a better cure for his illness."
"Shut. Up." Coal growled again yet the headmaster only ignored him.
"And I believe that he should get the operation while his body is in a fitter condition to better survive the operation, before it becomes too late thus decreasing his overall survival rate." Ozpin finished. "Perhaps you could be the deciding vote on this matter."
Blake hummed for a few moments as she pondered what the headmaster was asking her. She couldn't help recall from the way that Ozpin had worded his question that it related to a lot of what she could understand from the papers that were scattered across Coal's room. She summarized that seeing as how they were openly discussing the topic that Coal had dedicated some of his spare time to research a means of saving whoever's life it was that needed saving. Blake smiled at the fact that she had been once again reminded of just how caring and considerate the human could be if he would be spending countless hours and losing sleep over something like this.
"I think that researching would be more beneficial depending on how long the person has…"
"Only to the end of the year give or take." Ozpin clarified for the Faunus.
"Then they should get the surgery as soon as possible." Blake reasoned ignoring the growls of the human beside her. "With such a short timescale, it would be the most logical thing to do before their time runs out. In my opinion anyway." Blake stated. She didn't notice that just beside her, Coal started to look somewhat conflicted as he mulled over the Faunus' words. Ozpin smirked in victory as he made another move on the chessboard, bringing the boy out of his thoughts.
"Check Mr. Valiant." He said before getting back on track. "Now regarding Ms. Octavian…" Ozpin picked up a paper file that had been sat on the very edge of his desk and handed it over to Coal who just finished moving his own chess piece. Coal studied the document for a few moments before slapping the file down on the desk, revealing an evil smirk.
"When did you even get the time to arrange this?" Coal asked as Ozpin moved his chess piece.
"While you were busy hiding from your fiancée." The headmaster chuckled before reaching under his desk and sliding across a small briefcase. "I also retrieved your weapons from her while I was at it."
"I owe you one Grey!" Coal smirked again as he re-equipped his gear feeling a bit more at ease. "Do you fish much Ozpin?" Ozpin raised an eyebrow at the boy's weird question.
"Many years ago, I once did… Why do you ask?"
"Well I highly recommend it." Coal said as he made his move on the board game. "You see, all you need is a little bit of bait, patience and eventually… The fish will always bite." Coal finished as he clicked his fingers, igniting the paper file and burning it to ashes. "Checkmate."
Ozpin couldn't help but laugh as the human and Faunus took their leave. He only realised it as the boy said his departing words that he had once again, played right into the boy's trap. He started to wonder if the only reason he had arranged the mission briefing that he had just handed the boy was because the boy had played him into doing so… The headmasters mind replayed the conversation that he had with the boys older sister when she had found out that he would be coming to Beacon. She had her own advice to give in regards to her sibling.
'Don't even bother trying to control him Ozpin, it's not his combat abilities that you should be weary off… it's his mind. That animal may seem like a lazy, arrogant asshole, but he is always up to something.'
Ozpin knocked over his king with a flick of his fingers, signalling just how defeated he really was. Originally, he challenged the boy to a single game a couple of days ago, when the boy first showed up and made his accusations against the family of his ex-fiancée. However, after Coal suffered a quick loss, the boy challenged the headmaster to another game, and another, and another, eventually until the boy offered a bet on this game. The game at where he just won. The headmaster realised then and there that the boy had spent enough time around therapists and doctors to pick up a few things on how to get inside a person's head. To warp their mind into doing his bidding without ever realising it. And Ozpin had just been played by that very boy.
"Well done James…" He laughed into his coffee mug. "You've made one hell of a monster." He was not looking forward to paying the debt that he now owed the boy.
Blake walked along side Coal as he made for his room in a hurried manner.
"What was that about?" She asked.
"Ozpin just gave me a mission." Coal stated bursting into his room and straight up to his wardrobe, he was thankful that Orchid wasn't around. "I'm leaving in the next hour so I better get prepared now."
"Who is going with y… What are you doing?" Blake questioned as the boys started to strip out of his clothes. She turned around quickly to give the boys some privacy a heavy blush forming at her cheeks.
"You've already seen me naked Blake, so what else is there to see?" Coal stated in a shrug as he pulled up a clean pair of jet black combat pants where were more formfitting that his previous pair. "Besides you're not the first woman I've had to strip in front of."
"I don't care what you and that fiancée of yours get up to!" Blake angrily shot back still not daring to look at the human, more for her own decency than his as she was once again regretting how much smut she read.
"I meant from when I was in the military!" Coal proclaimed as he shot the Faunus a death glare. "Our squad wasn't just a bunch of men on steroids you know, and we didn't exactly have the best sleeping conditions on longer missions."
"I still don't care." Blake muttered.
"Besides, you're coming too so go get changed into something stealthy."
"Why?"
"Because we are going to pull a heist!"
(2 years ago)
"Why do I have to fight her!" A fifteen-year-old Coal Schnee argued as he pointed a finger towards a short yet busty purple haired girl in a tight formfitting ball gown. "I shouldn't have to fight anyone, it's my birthday for fuck sakes."
"Wrythe!" Jacques Schnee, the boy's father bellowed. "Enough of this indecency, you will fight for the enjoyment of our guests."
"Fuck that!"
"I would." Orchid purred as she eyed up the boy's features. Needless to say, that action slightly creeped him out. He did his best to ignore the girl and glare back at his father.
"And my name is Coal! how many times do I have to remind you?"
"Regardless you are still fighting." His father said sternly giving the boy no room for argument.
"Go suck my big…"
"WRYTHE!"
"Fine I'll fight." Coal huffed turning away from his father and headed towards a makeshift arena that had been purposely built for tonight's display of child on child violence. Rich people and their pastimes… "But for the record, I was going to say dick." He smirked at himself as he took up his position on one side of the arena.
Coal rolled his shoulders and stretched the rest of his body, annoyed by the lack of mobility that the bespoke suit that had been tailored specifically this night gave him. He never liked suits, he much preferred his smile shirt, coat and pants that he would normally wear on a daily basis. Many times had his father scorned him for wearing such clothing, only to provide an even larger excuse for the boy to keep wearing them. Coal loved pissing his father off, it may as well have been his favourite sport. Finally tiring of the suit, he ripped off the jacket and shirt in one tug and sighed in relief at the cool air that hit his body. Thankfully he had chosen to wear a white vest underneath all his clothing which was now hiding most of his scars.
"Ready when you are." Coal announced as he flicked his wrist, crafting a single estoc formed of pure white ice and drawing his silver revolver in his left hand. Orchid eyed the sight of his form taking in his muscles and body structure with a lustful eye. She had known the boy since they were only small children and now that she was older and understood the human body more… She was curious. Very curious. Orchid reached under the skirt of her gown and pulled out two identical whips and cracked them against the ground indicating that she was ready to fight also. A countdown sounded over the speakers around the small arena and its stands as the male and female stared each other down working on their own strategies against one another.

"WRYTHE!" Jacques Schnee bellowed once more. Of course his son had hacked the arenas systems when it was installed, the brat could never do as he was told and sit still. Coal started laughing at his own prank against his father, knowing full well that he would be punished later, but he didn't care, he just loved aggravating the old man until he was red in the face… And keep on going. Coal sheathed his gun and pulled out his scroll and tapped a few buttons and dropped into a fencing stance. Leaving his revolver at his left hip.

BEGIN!
Coal made to strike first and gain the upper hand against the girl. Orchid had already witnessed the boy training many times before hand and had already planned the perfect strategy to use against him. She knew full well that he was the faster between them both but she had a far deadlier weapon than speed to utilize against the soldier.
Orchid raised both hands and activated her semblance instantly when the signal to begin sounded. A solid mirror formed between her and the Schnee as he zipped straight into the mirror and was reflected back out the way that he came. Coming to a halt after literally being turned around, Coal looked back over his shoulder and reset his stance utterly confused by what just happened. One minute he was looking directly at the girl, the next he was facing the wrong direction after something manifested in front of him.
Coal raised his left hand and crafted a second estoc for his off hand and charged once more, slower this time so that he could see exactly what the girl was doing in order to formulate a strategy on how to beat it. once more, as predicted, he ended up facing the complete wrong way as his attack was reflected away from the Octavian Heiress.
"What the fuck?" Coal asked no one in particular as he turned around once more to face the girl. Instead he came face to face with… Himself. Standing in the very place where he had been turned around was a carbon copy of himself with glowing yellow eyes. Holding the every same estocs that he was currently holding.
"Oh, you like this little trick." Orchid asked with a giddy tone. "Wry-Wry, meet the reflection of your soul… Wry-Wry." Coal stared down the clone of himself in scepticism. This was his reflection? Defiantly not, it couldn't be... The thing stood with an air about him that spoke of a high class and formal attitude. Something that Coal purposely buried deep within himself years ago.
"Ugly fucker isn't he." Coal laughed at himself as he charged at the reflection thrusting both blades forward. His duel strike was blocked expertly by his reflection who then started to engaged the original with strikes of his own, locking the two in a deadly battle of pure elegant swordsmanship.
Each version of Coal returned strike for strike, block for block and even dodged attacks in the same fashion. They may have only fought for less than a minute but during that short exchange, Coal understood exactly what the Octavian girl was saying. That he was indeed fighting himself. The reflection knew every move he was about to make just like Coal knew how the reflection would move. There was no opening that didn't have a trap lying in wait. Coal jumped back, his reflection mirroring the action, separating the two apart.
"How quaint." The reflection spoke causing not only Coal, but also Orchid to gasp in shock. "You still lack discipline."
Orchid looked at the reflection that she had summoned in pure confusion, never before had her reflections ever spoken before. She was utterly astounded when Coal heaved a heavy sigh and uttered one name…
"Wrythe…" Coal huffed. He threw the sword in his left hand towards the girl in force. The blade travelled straight and true towards its target however was quickly intercepted by the reflection, Wrythe. Coal took the single opportunity when his reflection was distracted to draw his revolver and fire twice at the reflections head. Executing it. The reflection shattered into little pieces as Coal burst through its remains and made another attempt at hitting the Octavian girl who had barely moved at all since the start of the fight. Orchid had anticipated the move and had already moved to one side, stepping out the way of his trust and cracked one of her whips, tangling his sword arm in the material and then embedding said whip into the floor of the arena. she then pressed a button on the embedded whips handle, sending a jolt of electricity through the soldier who cried out in pain for a moment before breaking out of the whip by merely pulling on the tensioned material. Ending the pain which it caused him. Truth be told he was used to far higher voltages.
Orchid cracked her second whip, ensnaring the boy's torso and pulled as hard as she physically could, sending the soldier flying past her and rolling on the ground. Coal quickly climbed back to his feet and ripped himself out of the bindings before Orchid could send more amps through his muscles. Completely defenceless. Orchid started to back up as Coal slowly crept up to her with a victorious smirk over his face. She swore then that with her family's money and technical knowledge of advanced weaponry that she would find and make a weapon that not even he could break free from, that she would be able to tie him down as she did what she pleased, regardless of whether or not they were sparing against one another, and also… That he would be hers.
"They never do that you know." Orchid announced as she continued to back away from the boy. "They never talk." Coal didn't seem to care as his eyes flickered blue, raising the gun in line with the girl's head and fired. Orchid managed to create one more mirror which reflected the shot back towards the boy who had completely overlooked that possibility and suffered an explosive round to the chest, sending him flying back into a second mirror which in turn sent him crashing to the ground in pain from both the explosion and the battering from the floor. Coal groaned as he made to stand up, only to be stopped halfway as he felt the barrel of a revolver stick into the back of his skull. Along with the gun, came a hollow, deadly tone. A voice which Coal had never heard prior to that moment.
"You are weak."
Coal's eyes widened in fear at the voice as the gun which threatened his life moved over his back and centralized over his hidden mark.
*BANG*
Coal erupted out of the burst of flames, his body lightly scorched from the fires intensity yet his aura had done its job. While he would be subjected to a painful evening in bed while he recovered, it was nothing compared to what came next…
"Wrythe has lost the battle due to lack of aura." Jacques Schnee announced to his guests. "Not only that, but I would also like to formally announce that my son, Wrythe Coal Schnee will be married to the eldest daughter of the Octavian Family, Valentina Orchid Octavian. The ceremony will be held before they both turn eighteen years of age…"
Coal tuned out to the rest of his father's speech to the audience. His body hurt too much to move and his mind was overcome with too much rage to even formulate a response. Orchid crouched down next to her new fiancé who was lying face up, golden yellow eyes met obsidian black as Orchid leaned in closer and pressed her lips against his.
"That was my first kiss my Wry-Wry…" Orchid giggled as she retreated back slightly. "And from what I understand, it was also yours correct?" Coal could only growl in pain and annoyance at the girl who was now engaged to himself.
"Fuck you…" He managed to growl out.
"Oh, don't you worry about that." Orchid slurred seductively. "You will be… We are destined to be together Wry-Wry. The fact alone that I could reflect not just one but two of you at the same time, and also… they talk. That alone proves that our semblances are unique when used with each other. That we are meant to be together."
Coal managed to lift his head off the ground and utter his final words before he passed out.
"You don't control me…"
