So it's time for Weiss's chapter. Once more I do not own RWBY. Also look up A moment of Enlightenment by themytick if you like this story.
"Jaune"- flashback
Chapter 3- Shattered Heart
Snow angel.
That's what you called me. You constantly called me that and it infuriated me.
I was a Schnee, the best, and you a lowly peasant. Not even fit to take to me.
When I found Pyrrha I instantly thought we would be partners. Yet you two ended up together instead.
You never spoke of how I found you in that tree first, how I left you there.
If a Grimm found you before Pyrrha did you would have died. Your blood would be on my hands.
When I tried to usurp Ruby's position as leader I tried to get yours after I failed. I even asked Ozpin why a dolt such as yourself could be leader. He simply sent me a file and walked on.
That file was your TBPCT score (Tactics and Battle Plans Comprehension Test) from the leaders only class. You got a perfect score. The first beacon ever had. I dismissed it as dumb luck. Because there was no way you of all people could do that.
When Cardin began to bully you I felt you deserved it. How horrible I was then. When you protected Cardin from that Ursa I didn't understand how you could. He hurt you so why help him.
That was just more proof you were a better person then me.
As you flirted with me I began to enjoy the positive attention. With my upbringing that was in short supply. Yet I still was cold, rude, and cruel to you.
And now I can never apologize.
When your fake transcripts were revealed I condemned you, not even knowing the story. In my eyes you were a cheat and a fool. Coming to a place you have no right to be. I treated you worse than ever. The entire time you ever stopped flirting with me.
Knowing what I do now, my harshness was the closest you had ever had to affection. Anything more was beyond your comprehension because of your past.
Your reason to come to Beacon was better than mine as well. You wanted to save people, I wanted to make a name for myself.
I didn't get over it until the day you saved me. A simple training exercise gone wrong.
"WEISS LOOK OUT!" My partner's voice cut through the battlefield. I turned to see an Alpha Beowolf leaping at me, jaws posed to rip out my throat. So this is how it end's, not even able to graduate Beacon. I close my eyes waiting for the end. Blood hits my face but I feel no pain. I open my eyes to see Jaune, the boy I've been nothing but cruel to, in front of me. His shield keeping the jaws back, but the beowolf's claws have torn into his back. Then the beast slumps over and begins to dissolve with a white sword, Crocea Mors, buried in its chest. Jaune then falls over, blood gushing from his back. I'm paralyzed, I can't believe the dolt saved me. Then it hits me he's dying. While the others fight off the grimm and call for help I summon ice onto his wounds to stop the bleeding. A bullhead arrived within the hour and a medical crew tends to him I don't notice till afterwards that I never let go of Jaune's hand.
That beowolf would have killed me and you ended up in recovery for two weeks as it was.
Another thing I never thanked you for
When Blake's past was revealed and I began to rant you instantly figured out the problem. When you asked why I thought that way and I listed the offenses the White Fang had committed against my family you listened, then gave me a link and told me to look at it and then left. That link showed me pictures of Schnee dust mines and how the workers were treated. I couldn't believe what I saw. Pictures of Faunus tortured, starved, beaten, experimented on, and killed. To me there was no way these were real but deep down I knew.
When Blake came back I forgave her but inside I was begging for forgiveness myself.
When prom came about and you asked me out I didn't even bother with a reply. No matter what you did you would never be good enough in my eyes. Yet despite that you helped me get Neptune.
I never thanked you for that. I acted like you had no part in it.
Now I wish I accepted your invitation more than ever.
When the Breach occurred and we were about to be overrun you brought your team and saved us. At that moment I couldn't help but think you looked like an actual knight.
How blind I was to just then realize that.
Then you ran off to protect civilians but we didn't see it that way. We saw a dolt trying to get himself killed.
When things fell apart with Neptune I made an attempt to ask you out thinking you would still be willing to date me. You laughed and said you didn't realize I could joke. You had no idea Neptune and I didn't work. I had lost my chance.
I'm not proud of what I did next.
You actually did have a few girls that were interested, not counting Pyrrha, and I chased each one away. Through bribes or threats I drove them away.
Yet another thing I can never apologize for.
The festival went south and we were all fighting for our lives. When you ran off the last thing I said to you was to not get someone else killed. Then Pyrrha called and told us you went to face Cinder alone. Yet we didn't go to help you, no we were too busy keeping yourselves alive. The next thing we know the televisions show you fighting Cinder. I felt my heart stop when you lost your arm. I don't think I've ever screamed as loud as I did when that arrow pierced your heart. Yet you didn't go down then you grabbed her hand and she was in agony. Then we learned of your semblance. We realized you wouldn't escape the blast.
YOU SHOULD HAVE KEPT YOURSELF ALIVE YOU DOLT!
Instead you go and sacrifice yourself to save us all.
A one way street.
That's what I made you feel our friendship was.
When you said that I felt such self-loathing I thought I would be sick.
I gained my ancestral ability to summon during the fight. At first it was a white version of the robot that gave me my scar.
Now it's a pale imitation of you. A knight to watch over me, to protect me, and most importantly to remind me what I've lost.
I good friend.
A stalwart comrade
And the chance to see if we could have been something.
I wish I stayed with you at the tree now. I wish I accepted your advances, I wish I went to help you fight.
I shout these things at your grave crying the entire time. There is no reply.
There never is.
So send your reviews and opinions I greatly welcome them. Next up is Blake then Yang and then I move on to NPR.
