Chapter II

Well, she wasn't dead (which was a start) albeit she wasn't awake either. Still in a dream-esk state, more commonly known as a comma. The shock her body took was enough to send her into a comma that so far has lasted a few weeks. Her parents being the deciding force that they are had given up on their daughter, both mother and father had no interest in their white haired daughter anymore.

Weiss' parents decided that no matter the outcome, they would pronounce Weiss as dead and adopt another child as their new heir, one a little more loyal. They no longer wanted a child who would defy their every word and wanted one who would bend to their will no matter what they said. In fact, it was Mr. Schnee himself who had spoken to his wife on the matter by saying: "Why didn't we think of this sooner? It is a much more logical idea!"

Weiss always knew her parents were the devil and his mistress in disguise all along, but come on a sunday morning at five after meridian, she would know just of the evils that lurked behind the scenes. This was to be a burden that she would always hold. No matter how she would try to look at it, her life would never be the same again, and in more ways than one.

The heart rate monitor began to signal very rapidly, a nurse had rushed into the room to see Weiss sitting straight up and gasping for air as if she had just been without air for the last minute. She rushed over to Weiss putting a hand on her shoulder trying to coax her into a calm state of mind.

"Hey Weiss." The nurse said in a soft tone. Weiss eyes snapped directly to her. "Would you like some water?" She asked retaining the soft voice. Weiss only nodded. The nurse nodded with a smile and went over to the near by sink. The room that Weiss was in wasn't very large in any use of the word. The sink only located five feet from the wall where Weiss's bed was there was a door, supposedly leading to a bathroom only three or so feet away from the wall the head of Weiss's bed was sat against.

The nurse came back to Weiss with a small plastic clear cup of water and handed it to Weiss carefully. Weiss slowly took hold of the small cup and took small sips of the water before handing it back.

"Is there something wrong?" The nurse asked. The only thing Weiss could do was nod. She was too afraid to speak, or was it that she didn't want to be judged for speaking again? Had her fears consumed her this much? "What is it Weiss?" The nurse asked. Weiss went to speak but the words wouldn't come out. The words she desperately wanted to get out weren't there. She had (for the moment) lost her voice.

Weiss shook her head placing a hand on her throat (where the vocal cords would be located). She couldn't speak. Well, now what? Breaking the odd silence that hung around the room, a knock came at the door. "How is our patient doing?" It was a man's voice. It was deep, but not a base-y kind of deep, more a sultry more treble enhanced voice.

"Well sir, I don't think she can speak. I also think she has something she wants to say, but she can't." The nurse responded. The doctor came all the way into the room, Weiss noticed the olive green lab coat the man was wearing first off, applying a color to a face. The man walked over to the counter near the sink and set down his clipboard, then proceeded over to Weiss.

"Well Weiss, you are a lucky young lady. That "little" cut on your wrist almost ended you. A worker from your home heard you yell something then she burst in to see you bleeding out. Your body went into shock, losing a good two thirds of your blood, yet here you are."The doctor looked over Weiss for a moment before continuing with his speech slash lecture. "Now, I wont ask what this is about, knowing your last name I can only imagine what happened. But I suggest you refrain from ever doing it again. Also, you do know you are pregnant, correct?" Weiss worst fears had just been confirmed by this doctor. A look of horror ran across her face, and the doctor immediately took notice and sighed audibly.

"Doctor Ozpin, I think we need to let the girl rest for a while. I think you're just adding stress." His assistant chipped in.

"Of course." With a nod he headed back over to the table and picked up his clipboard before walking out of the room giving his assistant one last nod. The nurse turned back to Weiss who had at this point laid back down with tears running slightly down her pale skin.

"Listen… Weiss… There may be something I can do for you." The nurse said after looking around to make sure no one was within ear shot. "First, I must ask: Do you want this child?" In answer Weiss shook her head furiously. "Second, do you agree never to tell anyone about what I will do." Weiss stared at the nurse for a while before nodding. This was her chance, her chance to cut all ties with the man that was known as her "father".

"Its still so early in your pregnancy that I can give you a drug that will kill the egg and it will be passed out of your system just like normal in your period. But I could lose my job for this and it is highly illegal, but in the end you come out on top." The nurse stated. "One last time, confirm to me that this is what you want to do." Weiss without hesitation nodded. The nurse let out a loud sigh. "Alright then. Get some rest, I can't administer it to you until you have some energy back."

"Oh and there was a group of three girls in here wanting to see you, of course I denied permission but do you know them?" The nurse asked. The girl raised an eyebrow. How did she possibly think she could answer without knowing the names of who came by? "Oh right.. Er.. I think one of their names was… Ruby? Know anyone by that name?" Weiss nodded. "Ahh.. Okay, so should I let them in next time?" The nurse asked. Another nod.

"Alright then. I'll let you get some sleep." The nurse said heading over to the door. She quietly opened the door and shut off the lights. After stepping out she closed the door quietly. Weiss fell even further back into her bed left with her thoughts. 'Why am I alive?' She sighed deeply before closing her eyes, It wasn't long before she found herself drifting to sleep.

She had a nightmare… No… She was living a nightmare. Where was she going to go? She had no alternative. She knew she couldn't go back to them, albeit not knowing that it was no longer even a possibility. Who was out there that even cared? Ruby… Ruby cared… But that would be too much burden. Ruby already lives with her sister in a downtown vale apartment. There is no possibly way she could intrude on that. Wait… Didn't the nurse say there was three girls? Who is the third?

"Blake… Please come with me and Ruby. She seems really distraught about this and it may be better to have you, one of her friends along with us." Yang said pleadingly,giving the faunus an almost pure look of sorrow.

"Yang… I don't even know this girl, plus with the Schnee's personal opinion on Faunus, I'd rather not." Blake responded.

"You'd be surprised at this Schnee. She's different. Plus, you'd get along with her very quickly. You two have so much in common!" Yang kept pushing for Blake to come.

Blake let out a long sigh. "Fine… Let me get my shoes."
