"I'm certain they will." Raven nodded.
~~ "Blake! Are you okay? When you were told whatever it was you heard, You ran off without any word." |
"I just wish we can give them a piece of our minds..." Amaya said wistfully.
~~ "Sorry Ruby, it was Raven. She was...she was poisoned," Blake replied, not sugar coating anything, especially since they already knew about her friendship with Raven. |
"Wait... POISONED!?" Ruby let out with complete shock, "Is she going to be okay?!"
~~~~ Raven sighed, moving just so she could take another drink. "I'm sorry June, Amy... You'll have to keep collecting stuff for me to the next week..." |
"She'll be fine Ruby, just a small dose of Wolfsbane. For Wolf Faunus like her...a small amount will make them sick. A large dose would kill them while just making humans feel ill. And a fatal dose for a human..." Blake said, letting the sentence hang, not having to say something so obvious.
"Blake, how do you know all this?" Weiss asked. |
Yang looked between the two. "Blake?"
"She was probably told by Raven." Ruby nodded to herself. |
Blake thought for a few seconds before nodding to herself. "What I'm about to tell you can't leave this room, alright?" she asked, deadly serious.
|
Al three of them nodded in agreement. "You can talk to us."
|
"Alright," Blake said before sighing softly. "Only Raven knows about this, but..." at this, she lightly pulled the ribbon that held her bow together. Once it came off, her ears started twitching as she waited for Weiss to start yelling at her for hiding such a thing. She also hoped that Yang and Ruby wouldn't be disappointed at keeping the secret a secret.
|
"Wait... Those ears are real?!" Ruby let out with pure shock by this revelation
"You... You are a faunus..." Weiss let out, taking a step back as she realized what was being revealed. "You hid something like that from us!?" |
"I did," Blake said softly, looking down. There were other things that she would have to come clean with, but she didn't think now would be a good time to tell the team she was with the White Fang.
|
"Why? Why would you hide that from us?!" Weiss let out angerly, before shooting out another question. "What else are you hiding from us?? Huh?!"
"Weiss, Please calm down." Weiss bit her lip hard to try and calm down, her eyes not leaving Blake. It was clear she was upset more then anything else in the world right now. |
"Because I knew you would react like this, that's why I hid it from you and others," Blake responded softly. "Now that Faunus are being attacked...I didn't want you to become collateral damage because of me"
|
"Wait, You truly think we'd be in danger? Is what is happening that bad?" Yang looked shocked by this, nto expecting to hear that they could be caught in any sort of crossfire in this entire situation.
|
"Well...they're targeting Faunus. Raven got sick because of someone who targeted Wolf Faunus through the cafeteria. But if someone tried actively targeting us...or use our teammates against us well..." she admitted not wanting to finish the sentence.
|
"Wait, You think it's someone that knows you were a faunus before? But you've always had that bow on."
|
"Unless it was from someone in your past that knew you were a Faunus, before you hid behind that bow of yours,"
"Weiss...that's not very nice," Ruby said. She wanted to believe that Blake had a very good reason for hiding who she truly was. Besides, even if she had known Blake was a Faunus, both she and Yang would still have befriended her. |
"I know how Faunus are looked upon. I just wanted people to look at me, not what I am. I'm a person just like any of you, yet we are always treated horribly. Look at how Cardin was treating Velvet!" Blake let out, letting them know one of the main reasons for hiding what she was.
|
"Sis and I don't care about stuff like that Blakey. So you have animal ears, or an animal tail, that doesn't make you any different from us," Yang said, completely understanding Blake's reasoning as to why she hid herself. 'Besides, it's not like she just lied just to lie about it. And...we really didn't ask either,' she thought silently.
|
"Weiss... Do you know understand why I am so upset when you talk down on Faunus? I know you have negative views on them but we are not all like that." Blake said as she turned to Weiss, knowing this might start an argument but she just wanted Weiss to see her view on things.
|
"I don't like it...but I can try and accept it I suppose. Besides, having three people against me just wouldn't be fair," she said in typical Weiss-like logic.
|
Blake stood up and walked over to Weiss, "I don't want to lose our friendship. I may of been cold and distant when we first started but you are all my friends. We are all in this together."
|
Weiss thought about it for a few seconds before sighing. "You're right. My main problem is the White Fang and what they're doing to my family's company," she admitted.
|
"I can't stand what they've become... They use to have more noble intents..." Blake said softly, putting her hand on her arm and gripping tightly.
|
"Blake?" Ruby said questionably, thinking she heard something coming from the girl
Weiss blinked, thinking she heard wrong. "Wait...run that by us again?" she asked. |
Blake closed her eyes, before reaching into a pocket under her outfit by her chest. She pulled out a small picture, one that she always kept her heart to remember those days by. Showing to them, It clear who it was. It was Blake, very very young holding a protest sign among with a few others her age. "Before this radical movement... I was a member."
