Chapter 3

Blake was barely able to get any sleep. She couldn't believe how much her life had changed in a matter of days. She groped the other side of the bed looking for Yang, but there was only pillows and sheets. She let out a heavy sigh. "How am I gonna get out of here." She couldn't find anything to lean on, If she managed to get to the wall, maybe she could move more easily, but she decided to go with the easier option "YANG!"

"Yeah?"

"Can you...um...help me?"

Yang walked in, still in her pajamas, and smiled at Blake. She couldn't help it, she was so cute when she was embarrassed.

"We should get you a wooden peg leg, then you could be a pirate for halloween!"

Blake chuckled, and was relieved to see that Yang wasn't in a bad mood, or minded helping her. The Blonde walked over to the bed and put Blake's arm over her shoulder.

"C'mere, kitty. Lets get you some food."

Blake stood up, cautiously, still not used to only having a right leg.

"I'm surprised at how well you've accepted this, Yang"

"What do you mean? I love you, Blake-y"

"I just," Blake looked at the ground, ashamed that she even started this conversation; "I thought you would rather not have to help me. And I would understand if you want to leave."

They reached the kitchen, and Yang sat Blake down on a chair and bent down. "Blake, look at me." The faunus lifted her up. with tears in her eyes. "Why would you think that? I would never leave you." Blake had never seen this side of Yang before, she usually always had a sense of humor and fun about her, but now she was being so serious it almost frightened Blake. "I don't care if didn't have any legs, and or arms. Your you; and thats all I need." She stood up, kissed Blake. "Now, what would you like for breakfast," now back in her usual jolly mood, "Cereal, bagel, tuna..." Blake rolled her eyes and grinned, just happy to be off of that subject.

"I guess just some toast."

"Just some toast? Alrighty then!"

As soon as Yang turned her back, to make the toast, Blake pulled her Scroll from her pocket and opened it to check for messages. She had two notifications on the screen, one for some ad about fire proof grilling gloves and one from the hospital. She deleted the ad and opened the other one she scanned it quickly, being a fast reader. Her eyes widened once she reached the bottom of the page. "Fuck, YANG!"

Yang called out from the other room, "Do you need me to move you again?"

"No, just get over here."

Yang casually strolled over to where Blake was still staring at her Scroll

"Alright, whats so important that you interrupted me making-" Yang looked to where Blake was pointing at the bottom of the screen. "Fuck."

The hospital bill was twenty one thousand lien.

"Well, I could beat it out of princess. I mean she's practically MADE of money."

"Yang, seriously what are we going to do."

"Well, we make about 100 lien per grimm we kill, maybe we just go on a killing spree."

"I don't think I can do that anymore." Blake put her hand over the stub where her leg used to be.

"Don't worry we'll work something out."

"I hope you're right."

Ruby walked into the study of her and Weiss' house, where her wife was currently conducting some business-y stuff that Ruby didn't understand. She knocked of the door frame and Weiss looked up from whatever she was writing.

"Yes, Ruby?"

"Hey Weiss, sorry to interrupt your, thing, but I just got a message from Yang saying that Blake's hospital bill is twenty one grand. I asked why she was in the hospital and Yang said 'Oh I thought you knew.' Apparently Blake was hit by a car and lost her leg. Weiss put down the pencil. and asked, "So what does Yang want from us?"

"Well...it was one of your hospitals so she was wondering if you could help with the bill."

"I'll do one better."

Ruby tilted her head in confusion, "What? What do you mean?"

"I got a report from the lab about a month ago. They have been fooling around with ways to create new limbs from certain, science stuff I don't know the name of, but it may be something to think about. Its experimental, but it might work. And I'll wave the fees."

"You're in a good mood today."

"Don't take advantage of it you dolt."

Ruby grinned at Weiss and began messaging Yang while she walked out of the room, letting Weiss go back to her work.

"Hey Blake," Yang called, "Blake!" No response. Yang walked all around the house looking for her girlfriend. Upstairs, downstairs, the bedroom, basement, and bathroom. "KITTY!" Still nothing. Yang was stumped, Blake never hid from her. She even put catnip in the living room to get Blake to come out. After 20 minutes of searching frantically for the faunus, Yang gave up looking. She decided that maybe she should get some things from the store that they needed. She grabbed the keys to the car and headed outside. She unlocked the driver side door, and was just gonna sit down when something caught her eye. "Found you." She shut the car door and through the house, up the stairs, into the attic, and saw that the one window that leaked light into the small room was open. She had to crouch down to avoid hitting her head on the top, and carefully stepped out the window. She didn't want to startle Blake. She tip-toed around the roof and found blake sitting down with her back the outer wall of the attic. Yang crept up, and when she was in position, lunged at Blake and grabbed her in a bear hug.

"AH FUCK! Yang! Ow, get off!"

"Nope.

"C'mon Yang"

"Not until you tell me whats wrong."

Blake let out a sigh and looked straight at Yang, "I just still can't accept...this."

Yang's grew somber; knowing that Blake was distraught and really hurting emotionally.

"How did you even get up here?"

"It took a lot of work but I managed."

"Well, I was looking for you. I got a message from Ruby. I guess that theres is a division of Weiss' company that is experimenting with limb-growth-science-things."

Blake immediately perked up, "Does it work? Is it safe?"

"I don't have all the details, but I guess so."

"I don't care."

Yang looked up from the screen, shocked that Blake would do something like this.

"Why not"

"I can't go on living like this. I can't be a huntress with just one leg. Whatever happens, im prepared for it."

Yang kissed Blake on the cheek before heading back down. She wanted to give Blake some time alone.
