The Shadow Pillar

Chapter 2: The rain

The last thing Blake could remember before waking up was Ruby. She her eyes widening and whole body jolting. Three things when through her mind. One, she was alive, two was inside a forest, and three, at the fact that her body was okay. Every limb, from head to toe, were fine. Hell, even her clothes were fine, but that didn't change the fact that she had no idea where she was. The first thing she need to do is find Ruby. She need to protect the young girl in Yang steed. She knew that Ruby was very capable and could defend herself, but it wouldn't sit right with her if she let Yang younger sister get hurt or injured because of her. Thus, she decided to go in search of Ruby, not noticing the fact that it was raining. It was only until she heard a loud crackle of thunder did she though about her surroundings. She decide that she would take her chances by building camp and coming up with a new plan. Make camp for the night before heading out to look for Ruby. But making camp in the middle of nowhere, while it's raining, in an unknown area where grimm could be lurking everywhere, was no easy task. But non the less, she got up and made camp for herself. She had assumed it was around 5:30ish when she waken up by the looks of the sky getting darker. She had managed to make camp before the rain had reach it climactic point. Place her camp sight next to old Japanese Maple, she stepped into her newly made tent made with tree branches and leaves, she was now safe from the rain.

Blake had never liked the rain but also liked it at the same time. Being part cat and all, she hated water. Don't get her wrong, she loves taking long baths and keep herself clean, but she just hates the rain. She hates the way it messes with hair, her clothes, and and her performance in battle. She fought in the rain multiple time before, but she likes to still have a grip on her opponent in a fight. But she could relate to the rain in a sense. It reminds her that the world could be sad as well. Even she was feeling uncomfortable about the world around her, or ever felt like crying, the rain would come and confront her. The sound off water droplets falling on her tent, soothed her mind allowing it to drift off to memories that she had dearly cherished. Soon falling into a deep slumber.

The 19 year old woke up to the sun beating right in her face causing her to groan. Coming out of her no good excuse for a tent, she picked up herself and headed out. She needed to find Ruby quickly but was stopped by her stomach growling. She also forgot she was in a foreign area. So she took up what little water she could find, her scroll(phone), and her sheath before leaving her camp sight in search of food. Though her aura was still needed some time to fully be recharged, she could manage. She she was a proud huntress that could protect herself. What huntress would she be if she couldn't protect herself in the wild.
