The Frozen Girl.
It had only been two and a half hours since Weiss, Ruby, and Yang had brought in the strange girl and still nothing had been said. The reason they were still there after waiting two and a half hours when it was already approaching curfew is because each girl felt obligated to stay, for what reason they didn't know why exactly but they still all felt so none the less. It did, however, take some convincing from the girls to get there parents to let them stay in the hospital but it was finally granted and soon they left, leaving the three girls. So there they were, sitting in silence waiting to hear anything about her until the silence was finally broken.
"Why are we still here?" Yang asked getting up from her uncomfortable hospital chair stretching her back as she did so.
"Because, you blonde oaf, we need to make sure she's ok." Weiss replied giving a glare before quickly returning her gaze to the room said girl was being kept.
"Why do you think we haven't heard anything back yet." Ruby asked as she looked down at her phone to check the time. Weiss looked over to her friend and mulled the thought over before giving a reply.
"Well she looked like she was in pretty bad shape when we found her." She said before yet again looking towards the door.
"Hey speaking of, why didn't we notice her the first time, why didn't she make some sort of noise or something?" Ruby asked looking up from her phone with a shamed look on her face. Weiss' attention was finally torn from the room to look at Ruby and Yang.
"What do you mean?" Yang asked slightly confused as she walked around the room.
"What she means is we walked right through the exact ally she was living in, and we didn't even notice her until she started to cry, we should've noticed her, we should have noticed her." Weiss said and as the words finally stopped reverberating around the room it dawned on Yang what Weiss meant and it caused her to look very sad and angry. Weiss, and even Ruby, were sharing the same feeling of sadness and anger. Sadness because the felt pity for the girl, and anger at themselves for not finding her sooner.
"Who do you think she is?" Ruby finally asked in a very hushed voice, trying to find out who this strange girl was and where she came from.
"Well until we know her name, I have and idea on what to call her." Yang said with her trademark grin causing Weiss and Ruby to grow slightly worried. "Until we know her real name let's call her 'the frozen girl'."
"The frozen girl?" Weiss asked in surprise, "She's a human not some archeological find." Weiss said in slight anger
"Well we don't know her real name so we need to call her something just saying her all the time is getting slightly annoying." Ruby said pointing out the logic in Yang's ridiculous nickname and she was right just saying 'she' and 'her' was getting annoying and she knew for sure writing it was annoying so she finally agreed. Silence soon returned and Weiss checked her phone to see that it read one am. Looking up from her phone she noticed Yang was still pacing and Ruby was now sat cross-legged on the floor playing on her phone. The silence was yet again broken this time however it was be the sounds of someone entering in the waiting room drawing all of their now undivided attention.
"Hello you three I'm Doctor Peach, and whom might you be here for? Asked a young doctor with red hair tied up in a bun.
"Umm we're here for the girl that was brought in for hypothermia." Weiss said, as she stood to talk to the doctor.
"Ahh yes well she isn't awake yet but if you want you can come see her." she said giving a quick smile before turning around and walking back through the doors she entered from. Giving a quick glance to each other they quickly followed the Doctor to the frozen girl. As they walked Weiss took note of every turn taken and mentally mapped the way in her head to keep herself busy and soon they had all stopped in front of a non-descript door that Doctor Peach pushed open before waving them inside Weiss' attention was immediately drawn to the black haired girl. Since she had last seen her some things had changed, first and foremost her skin and rather long hair had been cleaned and she could see her skin was a dangerous shade of icy blue. The next thing was that she no longer wore the tattered thin clothing she had been found in instead she now had a the typical green hospital gown. Finally, Weiss noticed she was buried under a mountain of covers.
"Will she be ok Doc?" Ruby asked as she studied the frozen girl.
"Thankfully yes she will survive, and with no lasting damage," Doctor Peach said before growing thoughtful, "However we have no idea who she is, we have no name, age, or known living family, I don't suppose you three know her do you?" she asked
"No we don't, but we've taken to calling her 'The Frozen Girl' until we know her real name." Yang said with a sly grin as she heard Weiss sighed.
"Well you aren't too far off, when she was brought, her body had shut everything down except for her brain heart and lungs, everything else was, for lack of a better time, frozen." Doctor Peach explained as she looked from the three teens to the unknown girl.
Black felt nothing, absolutely nothing, no numbness no cold not even the feeling of air passing over her skin, she slowly pried her eyes open to see…. Nothing there was no light nor color, and that's when the thought hit her.
'Am I dead?' she asked herself and as she tried to move she soon found what she believed to be her answer.
'I'm dead, I'm actually dead this can't be,' she pleaded in disparity before the sadness finally won over so in the black void she started to cry and there she sat crying, crying ten years of anger, sorrow, bitterness all the feeling she had to keep bottled up just to be able to fight and through fighting she lived. However that was now over so she sat there in her own personal void and cried. She would've continued to cry if it weren't for a very familiar voice breaking her out of her thought.
"After ten years you finally act like a person, is dying really all it took?" said the voice causing Blake to jump and turn as best she could to see the owner of said voice. There before her bloodshot eyes stood one of the only true friends she had ever had, Adam Taurus.
"Adam what are you doing here, where's here, are you dead, am really dead?" Blake asked her questions in rapid succession before finally getting an answer from Adam.
"I dunno." he replied while shrugging his shoulders.
"What do you mean 'I dunno' you always know." she replied as she felt her breathing become more labored and her mind began to race at one million thoughts a second. Before she could go into a full blown breakdown however she felt something wrap around her. Looking up she saw that it was infact Adam who had brought her into the embrace. There she sat in the embrace of her friend for what seemed like hours, days even till finally it was interrupted by Adam moving away.
"You know Blake you're not dead." He said while holding blake at arms length.
"I'm not, but in the alleyway they left me." she said tears starting to well up once again.
"Well somebody came back." was his simple reply, "Now if you will excuse me you are needed in the world of the waking." he said as he slowly let go of her and started to walk away.
"Wait don't go I need your help." she called out after him to which he only responded by waving at her over his shoulder. She tried to run after him but she was suddenly jerked backwards into a mass of light she hadn't seen before. Then just like before there was darkness, this time however she could feel the warmth of the air around her and she could hear the beeping of a machine. Seeing as she could actually feel this time she took stock of her body.
As she took stock she noticed several things, the first of which was that she could feel and move, even if it was only slight wiggles, each of her fingers and toes which means she had all her fingers and toes. The second thing was that, while she took stock of her body, she noted that she felt incredibly stiff and she wanted to stretch. So slowly she she opened her eyes to see the white ceiling tiles stare back at her.
