Among Us • RWBY

sixteen

Entering the cafeteria, the lights switched on, as the girlfriends found Kiko on the ground, holding onto herself as the large stab just above her abdomen, poured blood.

"Kiko!! Kiko hey, I'm going to help you, okay?" Stella said, quickly rushing to the chameleon faunus' side. She glanced up at Pyrrha for a moment, "We need to get her to medbay."

Moments later, Pyrrha and Stella rushed to Medbay, laying Kiko down on a stretcher. The pinkette quickly lifted the girl's shirt to reveal her wound, noticing that it was one large slash. Feeling under pressure, Stella thinks aloud, "I need to clot the blood and stop the bleeding before I can do anything else." She insisted, looking for anything closeby that she could use to wrap the girls wound.

"Kiko... feels... dizzy..." Kiko managed to stammer. Pyrrha shook he head, "Hey Keeks, stay with us, okay?" She asked, softly as tears filled her eyes. She didn't want to lose Kiko, too.

Stella raced back over with a clean, absorbent thick sheet to apply to the wound with pressure, to soak up blood whilst causing the wound to clot. She held it against Kiko's stomach, as Pyrrha tried to distract Kiko, trying to keep her conscious.

"You're doing so well Kiko... just keep looking at me." Pyrrha ordered as Kiko tried to give a weak nod.

After minutes, the blood finally began to clot, and Stella could dress the wound. She did exactly that, whilst Kiko kept trying to talk to Pyrrha, staying awake.

Now the wound being dressed, Stella went back to applying pressure. Pyrrha watched in complete horror as Kiko's eyes rolled back, and her heartbeat stopped.

"No!" Stella cried out, "Babe. Hold this, keep applying pressure to the wound!" She then said as Pyrrha nodded, taking over as Stella moved to the other side of the stretcher, to perform CPR on the Niji girl.

Stella counted 30 chest compressions, before she put her mouth to Kiko's, exhaling two large breaths. She then went back to chest compressions. "Cmon Kiko— wake up!" Stella cried out, continuing the procedure. "You need to fight this!! Ilia would want you to fight!"

Suddenly, Kiko's eyes flicked back, as they faced Stella and Pyrrha. She gasped for air, as Pyrrha and Stella looked relieved.

The Valentine then went back to applying pressure, as Pyrrha kept talking to Kiko, trying to keep her conscious.

Hours later

Pyrrha stood in the kitchen, making a mug of coffee as she answered questions that other crewmates had.

"Can we go and see her?" Jasper asked, as the redhead shook her head, "It would be best to let her rest for now." She answered.

"Did she say who attacked her?" Weiss asked, and again the redhead shook her head, "She barely has the energy to mutter a word, we'll ask when she's feeling a bit better." Pyrrha insisted.

Maeve frowned, "All she needs to do is mutter a name." She huffed as Pyrrha just sighed, before looking to her. The fox faunus stood with Blake and Elena by her side.

"Maeve, we are all really exhausted. Stella hasn't taken a break since she found her, and I've been busy doing my best to help. Kiko needs to rest, but I will ask her when she is feeling a bit better."

Nova sipped his black coffee, it's strong smell wafting over to Jasper, who frowned. "Look. From experience it's better to get a name as soon as you can. Leon... he tried to tell me who the imposter was with his last breath, and unfortunately he didn't get a name out. What if Kiko—" The Pierce stopped.

Pyrrha just faced him, "I understand your concern, Nova. But Kiko is stable. We're not going to let anything happen to her."

As no more questions were asked, Pyrrha lifted the mug of coffee and left the kitchen, to walk towards Medbay. She bumped into some other crewmates along the way, who also had questions that she had done her best to answer.

Reaching Medbay, she steadied the mug as she turned to enter, and let the door close behind her.

In the medical room, Kiko was found asleep, on the stretcher, as Stella sat in a chair, beside the chameleon Faunus as she closely monitored her.

"I got you coffee." Pyrrha chirped, as Stella turned around, a relieved smile on her lips.

As the pinkette held the mug she said, "I love you." To which Pyrrha asked, "Are you talking to me or the coffee??" Stella just looked up, before holding the mug close to her. "I can love two things." She said, as the redhead tried not to laugh, in worry of waking Kiko.

"How is she doing?" The Nikos asked, placing a hand on Stella's shoulder, as she turned back to face Kiko, who was asleep. "She is stable... she just needs some rest." Pyrrha smiled before saying softly, "You did it Stell, you saved her."

The Valentine smiled, glancing up at her girlfriend, "I couldn't have done it without your help, my love."

Stella looked back over at the sleeping girl, feeling relieved that she had managed to save her life. "Do you think she knows who the imposter is?" The pinkette asked. Pyrrha glanced over at the sleeping faunus before she answered. "I sure hope so."

Time had passed, and Pyrrha had left to do some tasks. Stella remained by Kiko's side in medbay, but found herself falling asleep, her head leant on the end of the stretcher Kiko was laying on.

The chameleon faunus' eyes fluttered open, and she realised quite quickly that she was alive... she'd been saved.

Kiko tried to sit up, but feeling the movement Stella jolted upright. "Kiko!" She blurted, her blue eyes staring at her. "Hey— don't move, you need to stay still." Stella ordered before she got out of the chair she had been sitting in, and went over to Kiko's side.

"How do you feel?" The Valentine asked. "Kiko feels... sore. But, alive— you saved me." Kiko looked up at Stella with a grateful smile. "If Kiko didn't have a fresh stab wound on the front of her body, she would totally be hugging you right now." Kiko insisted as Stella just smiled, "It's fine. I know the thought is there, lovely."

Stella turned away and took a cold bottle of water from the mini fridge, before she walked back to the bed, opening the lid and offering it to the other girl. Gently, Kiko reached out her hand and took the bottle, but not before thanking Stella. After taking a drink, she pulled the bottle away from her face, before looking up at Stella.

"Stella."

"Yeah Kiko?"

Kiko opened her mouth to speak, but took a moment, as she was thinking back to the previous nights events.

Finally, she spoke up.

"I know who the imposter is."
