Chapter 3

Slowly she opened her eyes to see the white ceiling tiles staring back at her. Looking from left to right she took the room in seeing the stark white walls along with a few flowers sat on the side table. Slowly she rose up into a sitting position she looked out the door of her room to see nurses and doctors rushing past, and outside her window she saw that the sun was setting and snow was lightly falling. Returning her attention to the flowers she saw a card nestled amongst the petals and stems. Picking up the card, she turned it over in her hands she saw that it was a simple blue card with a character of a person who had a thermometer sticking out of their mouths, and once you opened the card it read get well soon and under the bubble letters there were three signatures. One of which was sloppy cursive the second was normal nothing special about it, the third however was written in beautiful calligraphy. Setting the card down, Blake went back to looking at the bouquet of flowers she saw a mix of tulips, daisies, and of all things a white roses with red tips, carefully Blake picked up the white and red rose and examined it closely.

"It's called an Osiria rose," came an unexpected voice causing Blake to turn and see a red haired woman in doctors scrubs. "they're quite rare during the winter and I bet those flowers this time of year cost an arm and a leg to get." She finished with a small smile.

"Um who are you?" Blake asked growing very uncomfortable.

"Oh I'm Doctor Peach, your Doctor to be specific." she said with a warm smile that calmed Blake slightly.

"So now that you're awake why don't you tell me your name." the Doctor asked with a small smile.

"I'm Blake, Blake Belladonna." she responded while looking back down to the rose.

"Well Blake, could you please inform me about why you were out at almost one in the morning and why you were only wearing only a tee shirt and jeans." Peach asked with a motherly tone in her voice.

"Well ma'am I'm homeless." she politely says.

"Of course you are. I'm asking why weren't you at the local homeless shelter?" Doctor Peach asked with a slight scowl that caused Blake to shrink in on herself just as much as the answer to the question.

Weiss was currently sitting in her english class unable to focus on anything as her mind refused to think of anything except for the black haired cat faunus that had been unconscious for three days since she had been found, but somehow the frozen girl, whom she had never met, had her near complete and utter attention. Feeling a light tap on her shoulder she turned her head to see one of her few friends Velvet Scarlatina looking at her with concern evident on her face.

"Hey Velvet what's up?" Weiss inquires

"I was wondering if you were ok, you've been staring off into space a lot." Velvet replied with her concern still present.

"Oh I'm fine. I guess my mind is a few miles away." Weiss answered as her mind went back the black cat faunus, but as they were talking Professor Port shushed the girls.

"Anything you want to talk about?" Velvet asked in a more hushed tone.

"No not really I should be fine." Weiss replied in an equally hushed tone. After that the conversation died off and Weiss returned to the distraction that was her thoughts.

After the bell rang Weiss was uncharacteristically the first one out of class and halfway to the outside doors before she was stopped by a certain blond yelling out for her.

"Hey Weiss wait up would you." Turning around she saw Ruby and Yang chasing after her. Rolling her eyes she slowed her pace to a normal walk to allow her friends the catch up.

"What do you want you blond oaf?" she asked with a mock glare on her face and sarcasm in her voice.

"Wow princess someone's worked up." Yang replied just as good naturedly.

"Hey Weiss you weren't planning to head to the hospital without us were you?" Ruby asked with a teasing smile on her face.

"What? Of course not! I was going to wait for you." Weiss' voice cracked with the slightest hint of embarrassment before she huffed and continued to walk away.

"Wow calm down snow angel we were just messing with you." Yang said as she ran after Weiss with Ruby trailing closely behind her. As Weiss stormed off she couldn't help but smile at how much she had changed since she meet her friends three years ago. Back then she was cold, reclusive, and all around, as Yang so elegantly put it, a stuck up snobby bitch. Weiss had originally been insulted by the abrasive blond's words and gone to her sister to seek validation for the claim that the blond was wrong and just jealous. Weiss had forgotten one very important thing about Winter however, while she always had and always will love Weiss she did not fit the role of 'big sister' that Weiss had wanted. That was the exact moment when Weiss was told, rather harshly, how much of a princess and a child she was being and how she was too much like her grandfather. After that, Weiss went back to school and tried to apologize, which required Ruby's intervention to even get Yang to listen, but after all was said and done the girls somehow became closer and soon a friendship grew. Shaking her head from the past she looked back to her friends, who were now directly behind her, and gave them a slight smile which they returned just as enthusiastically.

After a short four mile walk in a near foot of snow the trio reached their desired destination of the hospital. Quickly walking inside to escape the chilling bite of the cold, they shook off as much snow as they could and walked up to the receptionist.

"Hello. We are here to see the lady in room 205." Weiss spoke with her usual grace before the receptionist replied in kind.

"Oh you mean Ms. Blake Belladonna." Upon hearing this the jaws of all three girls collectively hit the floor.

"How do you know her name? She's been asleep ever since we brought her in." Weiss asked after picking up her jaw.

"She woke up sometime early this morning." The receptionist responded with a small giggle at the trio's reaction.

"May we see her?" Ruby asked with wide eyes at the fact that the frozen girl was finally awake.

"Yes you may. She's still in room 205 if you're wondering." Once the nurse gave her answer she returned to her work. Weiss looked back to her friends with the smallest bit of excitement before she started to briskly walk towards the elevator. The walk to the elevator was dead quiet as the girl's minds were filled with questions. Once they reached the floor the room was on they all but ran to the room and burst through the door to see the raven haired girl sitting up in surprise with a book in her lap. Weiss studied the girl for some time before she finally spoke in, what she hoped was a warm and gentle tone.

"Hello I'm Weiss Schnee, what's your name?"
