There were Grim everywhere, surrounding all of team RWBY. There was no way in or out of the circle created by the grim. They were trapped. There only way out was to fight. Kill. That shouldn't be a problem at all for the four aspiring huntresses. This was their soon to be job. Their soon to be life. There was no time for second guessing every little moment or running away, they had to fight and protect. The weak don't survive. The weak never survived, Weiss.

Weiss took a glance at her teammates waiting for Ruby's signal to attack. That signal was never going to come. There was no more Grim to fight. No more team. Weiss was suddenly in the middle of an empty battlefield; an empty bloody field. It contained bodies of dead Grim including the barely dead bodies of her teammates. This couldn't be right, this couldn't be right. She didn't remember fighting anything. How did she skip this losing battle? How did she not- she SAW her teammates a second ago beside her. Was she losing it? Was she hit? Impossible, she was still standing and had her weapon in her hand. She felt fine, but this situation was not.

"How...could you...Weiss…" Ruby's voice. How could she? What was she getting at? Weiss walked up to Ruby's body cautiously. Her chest was rising up and down with anticipation. She was petrified...was she the cause for her team? Slowly, slowly she reached Ruby. She was covered in blood and hurt pretty badly. My god, Ruby...Weiss commented to herself. She clasped her hands over her mouth. She felt the tears forming just looking at her. How could she not remember this?! Ruby was hurt but Weiss was fine. No scratch, no pain, not even a single drop of blood on her. It's like she didn't even exist while that battle happened; like she JUST showed up and was a part of their team now. "You...you just stood there...watching..."

"Ruby...I-I don't understand. I was waiting for your call and, and nothing. " Weiss tried hard to explain the best she could but her voice was starting to shake. She dropped down to Ruby's level . My god was this really Weiss' fault? Did she just stand and watch her teammates- well...she had no memory of the battle but Ruby's side of the story. Ruby said no more.

"Why didn't you help, Weiss? Why did you let this happen to us?" Yang's voice could be heard a few dead Grims away from Ruby. Yang's condition was worse. Her arm twisted in a way no arm should twist. One of her eyes was swollen shut and Yang could barely spit out the words. By this time Weiss was crawling towards Yang, leaving her weapon behind with Ruby. She needed to get help, but she couldn't just leave them here alone. What if other Grim came and finished the job? She couldn't have that but she didn't want to lose them. Whether she showed it or not, her friends were the closest she's come to what a real family should be like. She shouldn't be losing them like this so fast.

'Please don't go, please don't go, please don't leave me here...' Weiss repeated over and over in her head. She wasn't processing any of this. This was just too much to take in for her. She'd NEVER let this happen on purpose. Why was this happening to her? "Y-Yang...what do you mean let this happen...?" She couldn't remember the beginning of the battle let alone leaving them in pain.

"Your father was...right...you really aren't cut out...for this…" Blake's voice rang out across from her. Weiss felt like she was falling. How did Blake know that her father said that? There was no way that Blake could have known that….no one knew that her father said that to her. "You...let us down...you let us down...you let us down...you-"

"STOP IT!" Weiss covered her ears and shut her eyes. She could look at this. She couldn't hear this. It wasn't her fault! It wasn't! She just wanted it all to stop. She got it...she was a horrible huntress. She was never going to succeed. She got it. "Please! Stop it!" Weiss' body automatically woke her up from her pain only to be surrounded by her friends. She hoped that she didn't reveal anything within her dream. She bit down on the inside of her bottom lip, coming up with something to say.

"Eh...what are you all doing here? Go back to sleep or something. " Weiss waved them away as she pushed back the blankets. She was getting sweaty and hot just being under those things.

"Weiss, you were crying…" Ruby stepped close to her. Weiss was crying in her sleep? How did she not feel them? Ruby was desperately worried for Weiss. And she thought Blake was difficult when is came to secrets. Ruby had the sweetest heart out of the whole team; no matter who you were she wanted the best for everyone. "Let us help you Weiss…What's wrong?" Weiss loved that. Someone finally cared for her. She felt like someone...

'Not good enough...'

Just when the moment was keeping her from crying again HE had to jump inside her mind. She was never safe anywhere. She'd never be rid of him until she graduated and gave up all contact with him.

"Weiss…?" Yang whispered. "You can tell us anything you have a problem with." That WAS the problem. She couldn't. This was her problem not theirs. It was HER life. They didn't need to be wrapped into all of this. Yang was like the mama bear in the group. Always willing to get her hands dirty for her friends.

"You know we have your back, right, Weiss?" Why were they all doing this to her? Making her feel special when she wasn't. Her father saw nothing special in her, so, why should they? Blake was always there when you needed her, she was silent but always there. And she wanted to be there for Weiss as well.

"Geez, again with the 'Weiss, what is wrong' thing. Nothing is WRONG. I don't know how many time I have to say it. Now, excuse me, I'm going to take a shower." It was the only way to be rid of them. Again she was running from probably the only people who wanted to help her; but, she couldn't see that. Weiss has never had anyone ,let alone, three people who cared for her well being. It felt...odd. It's something she wasn't use to.

'Why did you have to be a failure to the company, Weiss?'

She remembered when those words were spoken to her. It was last month's visit from her father. That was the day he asked her to come back to her home in Atlas. He offered to teach her everything; hand her the company when the time called for it. She'd be running the Schnee Co. It sounded really tempting but her place was here, becoming a huntress. It was the first time in a while that her father was eager for Weiss to come home. He sounded like he wanted her back home. It stunned Weiss a bit. It made her feel happy that he wanted her back but that happiness was short lived when she turned him down, and as a result he muttered those words to her.

Weiss grabbed her towel and went straight for the front door. Ruby tried to stop her but Yang interfered. Let her go was what she said. Oh, how those words stung. She knew Yang was giving her her space but for some reason it killed her to hear them as she shut the door. She walked a couple of steps before she stopped and slide down the wall crying into her towel. She didn't know what to do. Should she go back to Atlas and give in to what her father demands of her as a Schnee. There it was again. That name. It always came back to the name. If she did give in then wouldn't that mean she gave up? Being a huntress was all she talked about when she was younger. It gave her hope for a better and brighter future. Oh, how her childhood self would be disappointed at the outcome.

Back in the dorm Ruby, Yang, and Blake started to discuss the things Weiss said within her dream. It wasn't much, she just repeated her lines to each girl out loud. They got the gist of what was going on but not the whole story, they were just going to have to go on that. At least it was something. It was something they could work with.

"We need to do something. We all heard what she said in the dream, we need her to tell us more…" Ruby put out in the open.

"Weiss is not exactly the opening up type, Ruby." Blake noted.

"I know, but we'll have to try everything we can to get her to open up. She's our friend and teammate. She needs to know that."

"So, how do you suggest we go about it then," Yang asked, sitting on Weiss' empty bed.

"Well, I was thinking that we could all spend a day with her, one-on-one, and see what we can get out of her. you know?" Ruby proposed.

"I'm not sure how much we'll get out of her but it doesn't hurt to try." Blake sided with Ruby. "Let's try it."

Ruby smiled knowing that Blake was on her side. "Yang?"

"Why not, we all need to get to know her at some point, now is just as good as ever."

And so...it was settled. They were going to help Weiss fix whatever had her crying in her sleep.
