Blake
Ruby, Weiss and I walked out of the infirmary in silence. After watching what we had to see and then the letter…it was taken a toll for Ruby and I. He's going to kill Yang if I don't show up for whatever he's going to do in the snowy forest. I meant Adam, just thinking about him gave me fear now, he knows I'm hesitant to fight him and he's stronger than me…there is no way I can defeat him after what had happened on my last encounter with him. Thinking about this made me feel hopeless, scared, I felt like I am nothing, I can't even do anything to make sure that Yang and I come back together.
"Why is this even happening to us?" I asked myself aloud, breaking the silence. The two didn't reply to what I just asked which I'm alright with because I don't really want to hear their opinions right now. The afternoon snow falls down slowly, a blizzard about to come in but it wouldn't be one that will have to make us stay in our dorms which made me relieved.
We opened the door to our dorm and sat on our beds, one bed unoccupied which saddened me. "What am I going to do without you sis?" Ruby murmured quietly. Weiss and I had depressed looks on our faces, there would be a certain blonde that would cheer us all up with her fiery spirit but she was not here. I thought again that Yang must be in captivity, scared, alone, and that she wants to come home to us but she can't and I know she can't be able to escape. Even though it was the afternoon, I just wanted some sleep.
My eyes began to close slowly, and then I fell into a deep slumber. My eyes quickly fluttered open by a scream from Ruby that was still in her sleep. "NO YANG! DON'T GO!" she shouted. I sprang out of my bed and jumped up to her bed quietly but she was already awake and crying.
I tried to comfort the red-haired girl the best I can "Shh, it's ok Ruby, were all here for you."
Ruby kept crying, looking like she won't stop for a while "I want my sister to be here…I'm nothing without her." She admitted.
Even if it was Yang's job to make sure she is comforted, I made sure that everything will be alright to her "Your not nothing Ruby, even if your sister is not here for you right now. You still have us, we will become together again, I know for sure."
"Do you really know that Blake?" she asked in a depressed voice that sounded like she was beginning to doubt me.
"I'm positive; I'll do everything I can to make sure she comes home…I made a promise to her." I reassured her. That promise I made with Yang is something that will never be broken, it wasn't the one about her getting killed because of me, it was something that we made when we sealed our faiths before this.
Flashback….
I looked out the big window that was in our dorm towards the stars, the wind pushing my hair softly as I gazed up at the eternal dark blue color of the night sky.
I heard Yang walk up to me from behind and greeted me "Hey Blakey!"
"Hey Yang!" I greeted back in a cheery voice, happy to see her.
"You look down, is about the mission?" she asked, curious at my sadness.
I sighed and replied "Yes, I just got this feeling that something doesn't feel right. Can you promise me something Yang?"
"Sure what is it?"
"Since you don't care about the White Fang trying to kill me…after I resolve my issue with some things from them…" My cheeks began to glow red since what I'm about to say may sound like a stupid question "Even though we just barely became something more…please stay at my side and be there for me when I need you most?" I asked.
Yang smiled "Of course I promise; I don't want to see you stressed or sad anymore…I want you to be happy Blakey." We pulled each other into an inseparable embrace; I don't want her to leave me….
The present….
It was as if she promised me that yesterday…oh wait; it actually was yesterday when she did that. Here I am now, comforting a Ruby that has a sister who is probably scared for her life.
I began to act motherly to Ruby "Shh, just go back to sleep…everything will be alright. Everything will go back to normal soon."
She lifted up her pinky slowly and asked me "Promise?"
I like it whenever Ruby is like a child; I wrapped my pinky around hers and replied "Promise."
She lied back down on her bed but she couldn't sleep from the looks of it "Can you sing to me Blake?" Ruby asked.
I haven't sang in a while "I-I don't know if I can, it's been a while since I did sing to someone." I said. After thinking about a song I can sing, I replied "I'll try Ruby."
I cleared my throat and began to sing, even though Weiss could hear me.
Short steps, deep breath
Everything is alright
Chin up, I can't
Step into the spotlight
She said, "I'm sad,"
Somehow without any words
I just stood there
Searching for an answer
When this world is no more
The moon is all we'll see
I'll ask you to fly away with me
Until the stars all fall down
They empty from the sky
But I don't mind
If you're with me, then everything's alright
AN: I wished I used this song for this story but hey, it can't hurt to use an emotional song again even though you made it for another story chapter, back to the story.
When I finished singing, Ruby was sleeping peacefully with a smile on her face. "Goodnight Ruby." I said softly and kissed her forehead.
I didn't notice but Weiss was awake as I began to walk back to my bed "Thank you for taking care of Ruby for her…she would be happy."
Noticing how much she cares for Ruby, I walked towards her and put a hand on her shoulder "You should take care of her for now Weiss; I know how much you care for her. Just tell her how you feel, she'll understand."
She seemed hesitant at the suggestion "I don't know if she'll hate me after I tell her."
"Don't worry, you don't know that. If you love her, tell her."
I walked back and lied down on my bed "Blake?" Weiss called out quietly.
"Yes Weiss?"
"Thank you. It was wrong of me to insult your kind that day."
I knew what she was talking about "It's ok Weiss; just remember that there are some faunus that are friendly and nice."
"Like you?" she asked.
I smiled "Like me…goodnight Weiss."
"Goodnight Blake." I began to feel heavy, my eyes closed slowly once again, then I fell asleep…knowing that it everything will be alright.
This is the earliest I ever released a chapter on a school day, thank you guys for letting me type up this story. It's been a pleasure so far to do such a bumblebee story….
