"Why oh why do I have this game?" Weiss asked looking at the main menu of Aliens versus Predator, a franchise she has a hate love relationship with which basically translate to she had a bad experience with it when she was younger. Now here she was about to play a game of said franchise. She groaned thinking back to when she saw something that permanently spooked her to this day
It happened when she was about five and her father was down in the cinema room of the house, her mother was off visiting some old friend, and Weiss had come down for a drink of water when she stopped outside the cinema room and watch as the chestbuster scene happened, all she could do was stand there and stare before finally letting loose a scream that her father heard shocking him
"Weiss honey are you okay?" her father asked turning off the movie and picking up his daughter who was now trembling at the fact she had seen something like that
"What are you doing down here?" he asked
"I-I was thirsty" Weiss said
"Okay sit here" her father said placing her on a chair and getting up, switching the scary movie for a family friendly one while he went to get an old family nightmare curing drink for her.
"So if that scared me, then why oh WHY am I playing this game then?"she asked leaving an elevator she just entered, and of course she freaked seeing a Xenomorph emerge from the wall, before switching to her flamethrower to cook the bastard. Then she continued up a ramp, cooking more Xenomorphs, changing to her Pulse Rifle to take out the Facehuggers, she the mere appearance of the thing made her pause the game walk over to her bunk and grab her pillow
"OH SHIT!" she screamed into the pillow before screaming a bit more, coughing and going back over to the game.
Soon she was about to finish this section, all she had to do was break some more eggs, shoot any aliens that came her way, while she was doing this is was practicing her controlled breathing techniques to keep her calm. That was until they came to the Alien Matriarch
"Damn she is ugly!" Weiss commented running an gunning the eggs, facehuggers and any other nasties she was trying to get away from while the game did whatever it did so the Boss could be hit; turning out to be a jet flame
"I bet that made her nice and toasty" Weiss commented as she opened fire on some barrels. Forcing her to once again interact with the control panel, only this time there were things attacking her making her zoom all over the screen. Finally after half an hour she had defeated the evil queen and watch as her character high tailed it out of there. Weiss finally thought she would catch a break.
If that was only true, she selected to continue the MARINE campaign which led her to the jungle, grabbing the collectable behind her. Finally she had reached the human structure, she moved ahead only to be scared shitless as a human was thrown in front of her missing its skin. She froze for several second before the scene continued with something invisible moving away finally she reacted to the skinned human. She screamed like a little girl, dropping her controller and ran over to her bed with a speed that would make Ruby jealous wrapping her quilt around her so only her eyes were showing looking at the human encampment that she had moved into slightly as to not see the human
"It's just a game, It's just a game, It's just a game, It's just a game, It's just a game" she muttered shaking like a leaf , making it so you could hear teeth chattering from the nerves
"One I'm not touching for awhile, yes a very, very, very, very, very long time" she said looking around her dorm room trying to remember the Schnee family Nightmare cure recipe.
An hour later a figure walked into the RWBY dorm and looked about seeing a bundle up quit, moving over to it the figure saw Weiss' closed eye and heard her soft breathing. Smiling the figure made Weiss more comfortable took off her glasses and put them back in their belt pouch, pulled up her quilt and let her sleep. The figure then turned their attention to the game Weiss was playing quirking an eyebrow they played it until they got to an area near the end of the Jungle chapter, saving the game and turning it off before packing Weiss' gear up and sliding it back under her bed. Standing the figure stand up stretching quietly leaving a thermos of hot chocolate flavoured with Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Vanilla and little marshmallows for the heiress so she wouldn't get nightmares.
"Night Weiss"
