Alright! Another chapter done! So, again, reminder, I will not be updating everyday like I have been for the past 5 days, now this chapter, has a poem in it, I wrote it myself, and the song that a person sings is called Mr. Brightside by The Killers. And the song lyrics look like this. Enjoy!
P.S. Thank you to the anonymous person that sent me the review and told me good luck with school, I'll need it.
Virtual hugs to all!

It was weird now. Them all just sitting there and eating. It wasn't right. Sure she has gotten used to it a bit, but it's weird, not having to sit on alert while you eat. Not having to worry about someone attacking at any moment of time. And because of still not being used to this, Blake listened intently as they ate. Making sure that she didn't hear anyone or smell anyone dangerous around them.
"Ease up." Was all she heard. A voice barely past a whisper. Sun had been so kind to her, ever since that day on the bus. She just wanted him to leave her alone but he didn't, and it was weird, he was still caring about her even after he learned what she was, what she had done. He wasn't letting her past bother him and it wasn't right. She had been in a juvenile facility, with kids who had either done worse, or barely anything, and they all judged her. Even the warden who was banged up, covered in scars judged her, and yet Sun... A boy who she barely knew, and didn't even know at all, didn't even know he existed until two weeks ago, was the least judgemental. Leaving her personality to define her. And not her past. Ruby and the others were all like that to. Of course, she hoped they would still be like that, after she told them what her past was like.
"Blake. Blake!" She heard someone snapping her fingers.
"What?" She looked around.
"Are you alright?" Ren asked. She nodded.
"I'm fine." She waved them off. "Just...I... Need to tell you all something when we get back to the dorm." They nodded.
"You know you can trust us, right Blake?" Blake looked over at Weiss who was actually being kind to her. Of course, she didn't know that Blake was the reason one of her families trains, containing a lot of dust, had been destroyed because of her and Adam.
"I know." And with that, they all continued eating.
They had all left the restaurant with their stomachs full and smiles on their faces. They all climbed back into the cars and started their drive back to Beacon. About half way back, her Scroll went off.
She runs in the night,
Covered by twilight,
With a hint of moonlight,
Her strides are fast and light,
Her name is dark,
But pierces like moonlight,
Like a blade at night
(So? What'd you think Blakey?)
Blake blushed. Did Sun write that? To her? She replied
The bright sunlight,
Looks at the little moonlight,
Troubled with sight,
Of what's wrong and right
The light lends help to dark,
Lighting her way,
And guiding her blade,
A swift and quick end,
To the odious deeds of others
Her own sins,
Bear heavy,
Never to be cleansed,
From her own body
She frowned as she sent her reply. She looked down as it vibrated once again.
Odious deeds she performed,
Are no longer pertinent,
She looks to the future,
To focus on the present,
Is what is relevant.
The odious is no longer what she is,
Doing what is right is what she is,
Truthful with words,
And swift with the right.
She smiled and replied.
No more rhyming?
Nope. :)
Thanks Sun. I needed that.
No problem Bella.
She didn't know what to say. She was at a loss for words.
Why do you call me Bella?
Because. Belle is the female version of saying beautiful in another language,
so I changed it to match your last name, Bella means Beautiful, and that's
what you are.
She didn't notice they stopped. And everyone was unloading the car. She smiled.
"Now that's a beautiful smile!" She jumped slightly and saw Sun peering through the window of the car door. "C'mon, help us bring these into the house. Yang and Sage are going to go return the cars." Blake nodded and got out of the car. She walked over to the trunk and grabbed a cooler and her bag. She looked behind her and saw Sun carrying the last few things, using his tail to carry a bag. Blake out the bag further up her shoulder and opened the door for Sun.
"Thank you m'lady." She rolled her eyes and walked in behind Sun, closing he door behind her. She walked into the kitchen and put the cooler on the counter, then to her room and placed her bag on her bed. Having to remember to take that to the laundry room, she looked over at Weiss' bed and saw a note.
While you were off in La-La land, Yang, Ruby and I decided to let you
use the shower in the house and we'll go to the ones in the gym.
P.S. Pyrrha and Nora are coming with us.
- Weiss
Blake stretched as she grabbed her comfy pants and a baggy shirt and walked into her bathroom. She got why Yang, Ruby, and Weiss left to go use the gym shower, but why did Pyrrha and Nora go with them? She listened more, and heard another shower running, team SSSN's probably. She sighed and walked into the shower.
When she was all done she walked out into the living room, a book in hand, she laid down on one of the couches and turned on a light. She opened her book, but couldn't concentrate on the book. What was with that poetry that Sun was messaging her with? How was she going to tell everyone about her past? Was she even ready? She sighed and shook her head. She opened her book back up, and started to read.
"Jealousy, turning saints into the sea, swimming through sick lullabies." Blake listened closely, was that... Sun? She closed her book. She walked through the hallway. She knocked on team SSSN's door. She didn't get a reply back, so she opened the door a bit, and there was Sun. Headphones on, and was he... Reading? She opened the door up wider. "Choking on your alibies." Blake just stood there and smiled as she listened to him.
He finally noticed her when she started to giggle a little bit.
"Blake!" He jumped off the top bunk. "How long have you been there?" She shrugged.
"I don't know. Since the first chorus?" He blushed.
"Oh..." He looked past her as he heard the door open, signalling their roommates return.
"We're home!" Came a singing voice. Obviously Nora.
"Ready to tell them?" He asked. She nodded.
"Yeah." He smiled at her, and then walked out to meet their friends. "Okay. So, you may all want to sit down for this..." Everyone nodded. And sat down on the couches. "Alright, here goes nothing..."
(One long story about being in the White Fang later...)
Blake looked around at her friends.
"So..." Pyrrha rubbed the back of her head. "What you're saying is you were a member of the White Fang? Emphasise on were?" She nodded.
"That's correct." She felt incredibly nervous now.
"Okay. Then there's no problem-" Pyrrha was cut off by Weiss.
"Wait! She's a White Fang member!" She pointed at Blake. "Do you know how many of my families friends and co-workers died because of them?!" Blake was frozen.
"She was a member of the White Fang! And she never killed anyone that was innocent!" Sun piped in.
"Shut it Wukong." She pointed accusingly at him. Then back at Blake. "You have killed hundreds of my-" Blake cut her off.
"-people? Yeah, I know. It sucks doesn't it?" She just looked at her. "I'm a Faunus! I know what you mean! But I don't blame every Human I meet with the deaths of my people!" She had to let this out. "Weiss, I know I've done horrible things. I know. But I told you all this because I thought it wouldn't matter! I knew you'd care, but I never thought you'd act like this!" She was beginning to act harsh. Sun cut in.
"Listen Schnee, she knows what she's done. I have done some bad things also, but so have you." He gestured around the room. "All of us have, but that doesn't define us. What defines us, isn't what we've done in the past. What defines us, is our personalities." He looked at her.
"Yeah!" Nora agreed.
"Okay, I understand." Weiss looked at the ground. "Look, I..." Everyone looked at her. "I, guess, I'm sorry." Blake was astonished. Weiss had actually apologised? To her?
"What-" Weiss cut her off.
"You heard me..." Weiss had just apologised to her.
"No, Weiss, I'm sorry. You were just proving your point. I know. I'm sorry to... I've done more to your fathers company then you've done to me personally." They smiled lightly at each other.
"So... Are you two good now? Or..." They looked over at Neptune. Sun walked over to him and slapped him on the back of the head. "Ouch!" He rubbed the back of his head.
"Dude? Not cool." Neptune grumbled. Sage looked down at his watch. It was six thirty.
"How about some tea?" Everyone looked over at the usually silent man.
"I'll take some." Ren said. "Here, I'll help." The two boys left the room, and so did everyone else. Leaving only Blake and Weiss in the room.
"Hey, Weiss." Weiss looked at Blake. "Friends?" Blake held out her hand.
"Friends." Weiss took it. Then pulled her into a hug. Blake was in shock. "Tell anyone about that and I swear to God..." Blake laughed lightly.
"I won't." Weiss smiled back.
"Good." The two started to walk out. "We should probably join them before all the teas gone." Blake nodded.
"Yeah. Let's go." The two walked into the kitchen, joining the others.
