Chapter 13:Little Wolf On A Leash Part 2

Mornign came as usual for everyone as all the students were in the cafeteria having their morning meal.

For Team ZERO however it was rather quiet and the atmosphere around them seemed sad. Because Zane was still recovering after the spar with Cardin yesterday. He hasn't woken up yet.

"Is it bad I miss Zane dumb jokes and witty humor. I mean right now he probably joke about me being bossy or something"Eria said as she ate

"Yeah…but whos fault is that. Oh right, that good for nothing cocky jerk Cardin. I swear to god hes going to regret doing that he's worse than the White Fang."Rogue remarked

Onxyia choked on some food while hearing this but luckily she was ok."oh sorry not all of them bad….just the terrorist one"Rogue said

"Your alright…you are right some of the White Fang are just evil people"Onxyia said with a sadden look

"Can we not talk about them today i've heard enough dust robberies and protest enough this week. We should focus on how were getting back at that little bit–"Eria began but they were joined by team RWBY.

Yang put her hand on Eria head saying"Yo chill out before you melt"

"We can't have out future ice queen melting who will take my place"Weiss joked

Eria laughed at the joke saying"nice one…reminds me of Zane jokes"

They all looked a little down by mentioning that and Ruby said"Hey don't worry about once he wakes up he'll probably have several jokes to tell you"

A few laughs could be heard then as Onxyia was trying to stay awake. She closed her eyes almost going forward into the table but stopped herself.

Blake noticed this pushing over a coffee she got asking"Are you okay?

"Huh?"Onxyia said rubbing her eyes as her ears sagged.

"Sorry did you guys say something?"she asked

"Yeah. Ruby said once Zane wakes up he might have a bunch of new quips for princess Ice queen over here. She misses her jokes"Blake joked

Onxyia laughed a little before saying"yeah that'll…boost our moral"as she almost feel asleep again.

"umm ….you going to be okay. You look like you just got suckered punch a few times."Yang commented on how Onxyia looked really groggy

"I'll be fine just couldn't sleep had to finish some homework"Onxyia said while eating her breakfast.

=RWBY=

After about twenty minutes passed breakfast concluded as everyone excited the cafeteria. However Onxyia was about to follow Eria and Rogue. But she noticed Cardin walking over in her direction with a grin on his face.

"Hey Onxyia you coming."Rogue called out

"Um…you two go ahead. I'll catch up."Onxyia said clutching her arm. As they moved ahead she turned to Cardin.

With Ruby she was walking in the same direction since she let her teammate go ahead of her.

"Dang it I really don't wanna go listen to one of long speeches about his youthful days, at this point I rather fly that nevermore again.."

Secretly without being spotted thanks to her small stature she watched and listen carefully

"So I got what you need,"Cardin said, giving her a small pouch. She looked inside at what it contained then back at him.

"This is too much. Are you kidding me. This will kill her fifthteen times over."Onxyia growled

"If you're so concerned just use a small portion of it. At least it'll make for some good entertainment."Cardin said

"Why Rogue?, She's done nothing to you."Onxyia asked

Cardin smirked with his finger on his chin saying"You see she's good friends with Pyrrha right? And miss perfect has been getting on my nerves. So if I can't beat her physically, I might as well do it mentally. "

After a pass he continued with"Along with that remark in class yesterday"he said

She looked at him with disgust saying"You are a real piece of work you know that."she aded

"Oh like you aren't Terrorist."Cardin said

"Terrorist? What is he talking about?"Ruby thought as she listened

Onxyia didn't say anything as she looked away from him."I want you to do it during lunch hour. Slip it into her drink for all I care. As long as you do as I say that little secret about your past won't get out. Simple exchange right. You keep doing what I want, I'll keep my mouth shut."Cardin said as he walked away leaving Onxyia standing their frozen in fear shaking.

Ruby noticed that Onxyia was shaking as she couldnt do anything. Onxyia then collapased onto the wall as she seemed to be hit by something. As Ruby tried to get a good look at her eyes she studied them.

"Is she…sad, and also angry at Carin but also herself. What does that jerk Cardin have on her that is effecting her this badly." Ruby thought about who might know about this.

"Wait Blake might know about her when I first saw her she was with Blake…maybe their friends"Ruby thought about the first time she saw Onxyia and Blake.

Soon Onxyia picked herself off the wall and pocketed the pouch walking to her next class.

"Okay something is going on here. It's time to prove to everyone I'm not just a child. Onxyia seems to be hiding something about her past but what. Arghh I don't even have enough to pin on Cardin. If I confront him he'll just tell me I'm being a child and maybe blame Onxyia. Onxyia also seems scared to even fight back against him."Ruby said to herself pacing.

"I gotta find Blake later she'll have more answers…..hopefully."Ruby said as she headed to Ports class to catch up to her teammates. Little did she know that someone else was watching them too.

Classes came and went as Ruby watched Onxyia and Cardin throughout the day. As she was heading to her next class she luckily saw Blake in the halls reading her book.

"Blake I need your help."Ruby said which surprised the girl

"Ummm ok….what's up"Blake said putting a bookmark in her book.

"Well do you and Onxyia know each other….you two seem to be really friendly with each other"Ruby said smiling

"Me and her have known each other for a while now. We met back then when we were kids at some festival. We hit it off pretty well."Blake smiled remembering that day

"Why what's up….something happened?"Blake added

"well…uh…you …see"Ruby tried to get the words out before saying"I think Cardin got dirt on her and is making her do things" she said quietly to the best of her ability.

Blake eyes lit up then grabbing Ruby by the arm dragging her to somewhere took a double take before saying"what do you mean hes got dirt n her?"Blake asked concerned

"I overheard her say how shes a uh…terrorist?"Ruby said confused

"What?! Oh no this isn't good"Blake said pressing her temple

"Why do you know something Blake?"Ruby asked

Blake sighed before continuing"He must have seen her talking to her White Fang contacts….he must have mistaken her for being a White Fang member. She only did it to find her brother though."

Ruby had her hand on her chin before saying"Why don't we ask about it during lunch and we'll get to the bottom of this."

"Good idea I do have class with her next but I shouldnt risk it…..Cardin also in there too"Blake said before they both made their way to their next class.

=RWBY=

Later it was the lunch period as everyone grabbed their lunches.

"So what's up with Onxyia i've seen her hanging with Cardin alot lately"Yang asked

Weiss drank a cup of tea before saying"hmm i've seen that too….I thought she wouldn't hang out with him because of those comments from before"

Blake seemed visible bothered by the whole situation and so did Ruby. Yang noticed this before asking"Do you two know something?"

Ruby couldnt get anything past her sister before groaning"Apprently Cardin got dirt on her or something. Along with forcing her to complete task for him."

Yang eyes were twitching again with angry with Weiss looking at her stating"Oh no….shes about to erupt"hiding behind a tray. Yang then took a deep breath before stating"i'm ok….i'm ok, now what do you guys think hes making her do."

As they sat their and thought for a moment before Weiss said"well early this morning I saw Cardin with a bunch of strawberry packets or whatever during breakfast. "

"strawberry…?"Ruby said thinking for a moment before it clicked.

She looked around the room several times taking double takes. Seeing that Jaune,Pyrrha and Rogue along with Eria are missing.

"Um where are Jaune, Pyrrha and the twins?"Ruby asked

"Oh Jaune wanted to get some pratice in early so Pyrrha and the twins went with sparring or whatever"Yang replied

"Did they say where they're going to be?"Blake asked with her hands on the table

"They were going to be in the courtyard near the dorms I think."Yang added

Blake and Ruby looked over at Cardin teams noticing him missing as well.

"Cardins not here too just when those four are sparring. We have to check this out."Ruby thought

"How about we go to the courtyard. I feel like something bad is going to happen"Ruby said as she and her three teammates left the cafeteria to the courtyard.

When they got their they saw Rogue and Jaune sparring with each other. After a good ten minutes of pratice they took a break.

"Alright you two time for a break."Pyrrha said as the two sat to catch their breaths

Jaune was breathing a little before falling back saying"man….how can you…have so much energy…rogue".

"Oh c'mon you can't be tired already. It's just a quick warm up"Rogue said, jumping from side to side with her hands out like a boxer.

Eria laughed saying"Oh don't mind her she's always been like this. Dad was always trying to find a way to make her lose energy."

After a bit Onxyia appeared with bottles of water to help cool them off. She gave one to Pyrrha then Eria, and then Jaune.

"Thank you Onxyia"Pyrrha said as she took a sip from the bottle.

Eria took it laying it next to her looking at her scroll. While Jaune just dumped the one he had onto his face.

Right when she reached Rogue she was about to pick the one near her up. But Onxyia stopped her before saying"Wait..that ones mine Rogue. Yours is this one."Onxyia said as she took the one Rogue was about to take as she took a swig feeling the strawberry juice on her tongue. Rogue grabbed the other one and was taking a drink.

"Cardin won't even now I gave her it or not. I managed to switch them I can't hurt another one of my teammates."She thought as she drank the drink meant for Rogue.

After a bit of time Rogue got up jumping around"Okay Jaune lets go another…"Before Rogue could continue something felt like it was constricitng her throat.

Pyrrha noticed this and looked at her with worry""Rogue are you okay?"she asked

Onxyia looked worried dropping her drink and joined her side. "Whats happening?"she asked with a scared expression and worry

"An allergic reaction. But how though?"Pyrrha said checking on Rogue

"arghh …can't…breath"Rogue wheezed in between breathed. Eria walked over to the water bottle opening it. She found a red liquid mixed into it. Eria smelled it and looked surprised.

"Strawberrys? Their are strawberries in this!"Eria concluded

Onxyia looked at her in shocked"Wait what?! But the one I have was meant for her how did…"Onxyia stopped looking over to her right noticing Cardin standing near a pillar.

"Why that son of a…he made these two of these just incase I didn't follow through with it."Onxyia thought

"Pyrrha take her to the nurse and quick. We sent her medication just incase this happens."Eria ordered as Pyrrha scooped up the girl rushing to the office.

Ruby and her team came into view to check on them."What happened?"weiss asked

"I'm still trying to figure that out myself,"Eria said, clenching her fist as they became covered in an icy mist.

"I might have what you're looking for.''Cardin's voice sounded out as he came into view with a smug expression.

"Cardin! What are you doing here it's not a great time"Jaune said

"Whoa there. I'm just trying to help."he said in a smooth tone.

"Really you trying to help after what you did to Zane"Yang said, jabbing him in the chest.

"Oh c'mon let me help you find out who did it. At least give me a chance to let you have some clarity on the matter."cardin said

"On and who would that be hmm?"Eria said with her hands behind her back.

"Let me tell you this. Who brought you the water in the frist place? And who else here knows about your sisters allergy?"Cardin asked Eria

"Oh so your suggesting my partner did it?"Eria countered

"Why not hear it from the girl herself."he replied back

"Yeah right like Onxyia would do that shes my partner and friend. Tell him Onxyia."Eria said as she gesutred to Onxyia.

Onxyia tried to speak but tried to form the words, unless she exposes her secret.

"He set me up to take the fall in case this happened. He must have seen me switch the bottles out. Cardin was just using me this entire time. Dammit!"Onxyia thought with her ears twitching.

"Onxyia. You didn't do this…right."Eria said but she didn't get a response from her partner as Onxyia looked away in digusts

"I guess her silence means yes after all."Cardin said smirking at them

"Quiet Cardin!"Blake shouted

"There is no way she would do this! It's not like her to do something to her friend."she said trying to defend her.

"That's right what you just said. Her Friend. Maybe she just doest like humans at all with all the hate Faunus gets from all these protests and White Fang attacks. So she decided to get some revenege maybe for how they've been portrayed. Hence her allergic reaction to the strawberries"Cardin reminded

Eria looked at Onxyia with betrayal and worry in her face.

"Onxyia is he telling the truth?"Eria asked. As the girl didn't move from her spot and avoided looking at her partner.

"What is going on over here?"The voice of MissGoodwitch said as the teacher came into view as she approached the group.

"I just saw carrying Rogue down toward the infirmary. Did something happen?"she asked.

"Ah good thing you're here miss Goodwitch ma'am. Onxyia over here has placed something in Rogue water that gave her an allergic reaction to it."he said giving a bow

Glynda looked at the faunus girl"is this true ?"Glynda asked

"It has to be true because she is just being silent. Trying to hide her guilt."cardin pointed out which Blake defended her getting in his face.

"It was not her. She wouldn't have a reason to do this."Blake continued as Onxyia shivered about that night in Vacuo.

Flashback

She was standing there with her side bandaged up looking at all the people trying to rebuild. She clutched her side as she watched.

"It's not your fault this happen…this is what happened to the White Fang after their new leader was put in charge."Blake said walking next to her

Onxyia looked at her saying"No…it's my fault for coming here. I helped scout the town out for our protest. I thought….I thought we were going to be peaceful. Ollie told me–he tol-d m-e it was a peaceful protest"she said looking down choking on her words.

Blake put her hand on her shoulder saying"You can make up for your wrongs by taking a different path. Look what you did by straying from that path"she motioned at the town.

Several people were smiling and helping each other rebuild. Along with some Faunus in the mix with some humans. Along with the doctor checking on everyone after what happened.

"I know that I saved them but….what about her"Onxyia said looking at a small grave near them. There on the headstone said Lucy with words on it."May she smile in heaven with her family". Onxyia put her hand on the hand made headstone clenching it.

"I didn't save her….she died because of me and I have to live with it now"Onxyia stated

Blake looked down at her friend while Onxyia just stood there at the headstone.

Flashback End

Onxyia was shaking as she went into a ball rocking back and forth holding her tail.

"It's all my fault."Onxyia muttered looking away from Eria

"Huh?"Ruby replied with concern as she noticed Onxyia behavior change

"It's all my fault."Onyxia repeated as she continued to repeat it over and over

"Oh no. This might have triggered that memory. That day the girl died."Blake thought

"Aw their you see she admitted it."Cardin replied

"Um Blake, what's going on with her?"Weiss asked

Blake didn't answer right away; she looked directly at Eria whose eyes seemed to glow with a cold stare.

"Eria calm down okay…..let's just all take it easy."Blake ordered

"Oh really, why should I?!"Eria growled

"For one you don't want to do something you'll regret."Yang added

"Also its seems your making Onxyia nervous right now"Blake replied

However Miss Goodwitch has seen enough."Well then if Onxyia did do this to then i'm afraid she'll be coming with me."glynda replied

That made Cardin grin like he just won"hook,line and sinker."he thought thinking he just won again.

"Um excuse me…we have something to say"Another voice chimed in on the group.

The group noticed the girl with bunny ears along with Yatsu with her near a pillar.

"Hey wait a minute. Your that girl Onxyia and Zane helped out in the cafeteria on the first day."Ruby replied

"Yeah and your the big guy Eria ran into"Yang added

"Is there something you two need and "Miss Goodwitch asked

"Um…well not but…"the girl said nervously but the taller man placed a hand on her nodding.

"Why don't two get lost will you were in the middle of something."Cardin said

The rabbit faunus seemed to glare at him geting near his face"Actually this has something to do with you Cardin."she said walking over to Goodwitch with her scroll.

Cardin knew what she was doing and tried to go over there but Yatsu stopped him.

"Here I have proof."she stated which made Cardin go eye go wider

"Very well Miss Scarlatina showed me.''Glynda said as she presented her scroll to Goodwitch as she noticed several video recordings taken including the one where he gave Onxyia the pouch full of strawberries to incrimnate her. She also saw the video with Cardin switching out one of the bottles with another one, the same one that Rogue drank.

Cardin seem to be sweating bullets from his face as he tried to sneak away from them but was stopped by some hands coming from a shadow. He looked down to see them and it kept him away from going anywhere. He looked at trying to say something"Oh your in for it now….you knows shes…"but he was cut off.

"Thank you, Miss Scarlatina and . It seems you cleared up a few things here."Glynda said as she looked toward Cardin trying to get away.

"As for you Winchester. I believe Professor Ozpin would like to know more about this."Glynda said as she glated at him as Onxyia lifted her hand down to let him go. Which Glynda waved her crop at him and levitated him in the air.

"I'll be taking my leave now. Lunch will be over soon so don't be late to your next class. I've also explained to your teacher that Rogue will be excused today although she will have homework to do. So I suggest you take notes to her."Glynda suggested as she now walked off with a floating Cadin behind her.

Eria looked down at Onxyia who was still curled up"Hey….Onxyia…are you okay?"

There was no answer until she continued"Look whatever I said. I shouldnt have doubted my own teammate and believed Cardin for what he was saying. I jumped the boat on that one when I should have defended you."

This time Blake let Onxyia try as she wanted her to make her own decision. Let her express herself for what happened. Onxyia then wrapped her arms around Eria as she cried into her shoulder.

"I'm sorry too. I shoulve have told you what I was doing. I was scared of what would happen if I disobeyed him. It's my fault her and Zane are hurt"She said

The others were surprised by this before Jaune walked over asking"What do you mean by that?"

"I took his medicine from his bag for his semblance because Cardin told me too. Now he's hurt and it's all my fault"Onxyia said in between crying

"Hey we're here for each other alright. Like one big family. If you got a problem with anything just come to and Zane got it."Eria said gently.

"Goes for the rest of you guys too. We lookout for each other during the initiation and we'll do it here."looking at the others with them nodding in agreement.

"Well we better get going now. Our leader probably wondering were we went."The rabbit faunus said trying to leave.

But Yatsu stopped her laughing"Come on Velvet hold up". The girl sqeaked a little after being surprised.

"Well since you saved my teammates skin what's your name?"Eria asked

The rabbit Faunus smiled"Velvet Scarlatina. Second year. Member of Team CFVY."Velvet said

Blake approached her hugging her"Thank you for helping our friend."Blake thanked

"I was just returning the favor to her and that other guy helped me so it is fair I return the favor. I never leave a debt unsettled."Velvet said

"Come on now Velvet be proud of yourself for helping them out"Yatsu said proudly

Yang laughed saying"Geez for being built like a tank you sure are positive."

Yatsu laughed before everyone started to introduce themselves.

"I'm Eria Hayley part of Team ZERO, you already know Onxyia it seems, but two of our people are in the infirmary those being Rogue my twin sister and Zane Graves our leader."Eria introduced

Before they could continue any further the bell rang for classes to resume.

"Yikes we better get going. See you all later."Velvet said as she waved at them as she headed to her next class with Yatsu in tow.

"We better get going don't wanna be late."Ruby replied.

"We'll visit Rogue and Zane after everything is done today."Yang added as they began to head toward their next class.

But Ruby wondered about something plaguing her mind. What did Cardin have on Onxyia that made her do that to her teammates in the first place. Also what did she mean by terrorist she couldnt be…..White Fang?

Thats another chapter done! It seems Cardin will get his just deserts for what he did to Team ZERO. Along with that is the introduction of Velvet and Yatsu! I hoped you enjoyed this chapter and i'm out!
