"It's that bad?" Amaya asked, surprised.
"So that's where our lovebirds have been. Raven, how are you feeling?" Juniper asked as he and Amy found the two sitting on the bench. |
Raven simply nodded as she looked over at June. "Hey. Sorry if we worried you. I wanted to get some fresh air. Any chances will do well for me."
|
"We figured as much, and thought that it was a good idea," Amethyst said. "We didn't disrupt anything did we?" she asked.
|
"Just... Just talking." Raven nodded, "You didn't interrupt at all, honest."
|
"About what?" Amy asked, curious.
Amaya stayed silent, since it was Raven's past to tell, not hers |
Raven sighed softly, "Just explaining more about myself. Who I was, how I lived."
|
"Ah," June replied. And while he did want to know more about his faunus teammate...he wasn't going to pry needlessly.
|
Raven groaned as she flinched lightly. A rain drop hit her and caused the motion. "W... We should head inside... We can continue the conversation there. You two... If you'd like... can listen in." She said, slowly standing up. Again, She staggered slightly, barely catching herself this time.
|
"Easy there Leader-chan" June said as he caught her as well. "Perhaps someone should carry you back inside? I wouldn't mind doing it, if you want" he replied, concerned for his friend.
"I could give you my cloak, keep the rain off" Amaya responded. |
"D-don't coddle me please... I.. It's not raining yet... J-june... You can... carry me in if you want. I wont' resist. Don't baby me, I may complain when you pick me up, but just do it." Raven almost commanded despite the pain as she used June to balance herself. "W.. We aren't that far from the entrance."
|
June nodded before picking her up, holding her close to his body before heading inside. Amaya and Amy closely following them, opening doors as they needed to be open.
|
"Thank you... I don't mean to be a burden." Raven said as she looked down. Again, She beat herself up a little mentally even if this wasn't her fault. She didn't want to be a burden to anyone.
|
"You're not being a burden Raven," June replied as he brought the two of them inside. "Thanks Amy, Amaya," he said before leading them towards their dorm room, being careful not to jostle her too much"
|
As soon as they entered the dorm room, Raven noticed a package on the table. "A delivery... This early?" Raven said as set her down on the best. "Who is it for?" She asked.
|
Amaya went over to it as June placed Raven on her bed. "It says it's for you Raven," the cloaked girl said, surprised to see that it didn't have a return address. "Do you want me to open it for you?" she asked.
|
"Bring it over here first." Motioning for her to sit next to her, she didn't want it opened. Not til she looked at it.
|
"Alright," Amaya said before doing just that, bringing the box with her.
|
Raven was going to look this over herself. Picking up the box, very carefully that is, to examine the outside. A very small mark was barely visible under the brown tape that sealed the top. She put her fingers over it, hoping that it was just a coincidence. Her breathing visibly got heavier.
|
Amaya noticed that Raven's breathing was getting heavier after placing her fingers on a particular spot on the box. "Love?" she asked, concerned.
"Raven...what's wrong?" Amy asked, concerned for her friend |
"O.. Open it.." Raven said, "It's... safe." Handing the box to Amaya, It was taking a lot to control her breath. "I... I am just seeing ghosts were none lie... I'm sure of it." She tried to believe her own words. Please... do not be a message... please...
|
Amaya took the box from Raven's hands, noticing how trembling they were. Staying silent, she opened the box.
|
The first thing Raven noticed was the purple lump of fabric that was nestled inside the box. A sharp pain shot through her chest as she realized what it had to be, before noticing a folded piece of paper. Three diagonal marks were written on there. It would look like a side ways III to many, but Raven knew what it was without question. A shaking hand reached out to pick up the paper, the other clasped over her chest as she tried to control herself. She said nothing during this and simply held the sheet of paper before her, her eyes not leaving it as she knew what awaited her inside it.
|
Amaya was instantly by Raven's side as she grabbed her chest. "Raven!" she shouted in alarm, wondering if she should get the medics or not. Seeing her girlfriend clasp the paper and started breathing in order to control herself, she wondered what was going on. After a few minutes of silence, Amaya glanced over at the piece of paper before what was in the box. "Rae...is that...what I think it is?" she asked softly. If it was...then the piece of paper had to have something of meaning to Raven from the White Fang. And if that was the case, then she had a feeling things were going to get worse before they got better.
|
"They found me..." She said without realizing it was aloud. Everything was dead around her in her mind as she looked at the piece of paper. "I... I can't read this... I'm afraid to... I..." She rambled before quickly shoving it to Amaya. "P-please, Y-you read it..." Her mind raced, she had to do everything to keep herself up. Could she take anymore of this? She wasn't sure but she had to know now. She HAD to.
|
Amaya took the piece of paper that Raven all but thrusted into her hands. Seeing the logo for the White Fang on it, she frowned lightly before gulping lightly and opening the piece of paper and started to read.
"Hello Rachel, It sure has been a while since I, and the other higher ups, have let you roam free. Then again, after your berserker rage upon leaving, I thought it was appropriate that you calm yourself down and take a leave of absence. However, your fantasy about becoming a Huntress needs to come to an end. We cannot have one of our best warriors attacking our members anymore. I thought you would have calmed down with the help of your human pets" At this, Amaya frowned, but continued. "but it seems that isn't the case. Meaning more...drastic measures must be taken. We know that you are currently recovering from the affects of Wolfsbane so we will allow you to recover from that. However, one week after your recovery, we request you return to your home. If not...we will not be held accountable for what happens to your partner and team. Once you recover, we will contact you again with coordinates and a time to meet me. -Leonus" At that Amaya looked up from the note. "Raven...who's Leonus?" she asked. |
