The Grimm Huntress

Sisterly Solutions

Team RWBEY, minus Eclipse, and Zeus walked into the ballroom to see everything basically halfway done. Apollo was hanging the ribbons on the walls, his hands covered in a golden shimmer. Eclipse was sitting at one of the tables, creating flowers in the vases on each table which were glowing lavender with her Semblance. And Arabela was taking notes on... something.

No one really knew what but they didn't ask questions.

"Woah." Blake breathed looking around. "How did you guys get this ready so fast?"

"We can do anything we set our minds to." Zeus grinned. "How do you think we've stayed so rich?"

"I just thought you guys–"

Before Ruby could finish her sentence the doors burst open startling them.

Goddamn give the doors a break.

"Okay which one of you did it?" Esteban exclaimed his hair was disheveled and his eyes seemed to be a more vibrant purple than usual.

"What?"

"You know what! Who did it 'cause I know for a fact that it was not me! I go to my room, open the door and what do I find? Not my effigy! One of you stole him! And- I'm going to point fingers at Apollo. I'm going to search his room first and if he's not in there then I will be searching all of your rooms."

"Esteban—"

"That might sound a little inconvenient to you bastards but stealing clearly doesn't! So I'll do what I want because no one touches my effigy!"

Arabela sighed and put down their notepad. "Come on cariño, let's go find your effigy."

They led him back out of the room and the other Kamiya siblings went back to what they were doing.

"Effigy?"

"Oh yeah you guys haven't seen it." Apollo said not looking away from his task. He didn't need the ribbons falling before he was finished. "Esteban's friend, Nox, made him a wax effigy of himself which he keeps in his room."

"Do you know where it went?"

"Hell no. I just know he's annoying when he loses his stuff. Not sure how he lost an entire sculpture though."

"An effigy is a statue?" Ruby said.

"What did you think it was?"

"I just didn't know in general."

"Got the ribbons up!" Apollo announced letting his arms rest at his sides. "Now I'm gonna take a nap."

"Night." Eclipse waved.

Seemed like she wasn't the only one going to sleep in the middle of the day.

By the time she finished decorating the tables Eclipse was understandably exhausted. As minor as her real Semblance was, it still took a lot out of her to use it on such a large scale.

She was headed back to her room when she heard crying. Now, when she lived here as a child that wasn't very uncommon. Apollo was still a toddler after all, but in a house full of more developed people it was a bit... strange.

She knocked on the door in the pattern of Lizzie Borden. "Apollo?"

She heard him sniffle and clear his throat clearly trying to hide the fact he'd just been weeping before opening the door. "Y-yes?"

"Are you okay?" Of course not dumbass, he's crying.

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"

"It sounded like you were upset."

"Oh. No, I was just... overreacting."

"About what?"

"It's stupid." he walked back into his room and sat on the table letting Eclipse follow after him, closing the door behind her.

"So are you, what's your point?"

"You really suck at trying to cheer people up."

She shrugged. "Can't cheer you up if I don't know what's going on."

"It's about the gala." he sighed. "i-I really want Whitley to come but Jacques said he can't but then I found out he said he wasn't gonna come regardless. Said he was busy studying to become the perfect heir."

Her face dropped and she scowled at the idea of Whitleey saying something like that to Apollo. As annoying as he could be, he was still her baby brother.

And she'd be damned if she just let someone treat him that way.

"Leave it to me."

"What are you gonna do?"

"Don't worry about it, Whitley will be coming to the gala."

"Angel, is your window unlocked?" Eclipse asked, peeking her through the bedroom doorway.

Weiss looked up from her book and raised an eyebrow. "Maybe? Why?"

"Long story I'll tell you later."

"Alright."

"If it isn't the past heiress of the Kamiya family." Whitley "greeted" her. "What do I owe the pleasure of you coming to see me?"

"Okay listen you sarcastic shit. I don't like you at all and don't want you anywhere near me-"

"Oh believe me the feeling is mutual."

"-however, Apollo seems to really enjoy your company so if you would kindly get that stick from out your ass and come to the party I would... appreciate it."

"Hmm. And what do I get from this whole ordeal?"

"Good food and I won't beat your ass for making my brother cry."

"He- he cried?"

"Yeah. You really think I'd put myself through the torture of talking to you otherwise?"

"I'll come."

"Wonderful, the party starts at seven. I'll be expecting you."

"Is that a threat?"

"Yes."

As soon as she left he pulled out his Scroll and looked at Apollo's contact "prince" and debated what to say.

Sorry for making you cry? No, too detached.

I didn't mean to make you cry? Better, but gods know what his father would do if he saw that.

So eventually he settled for, I'll be at the gala by seven.

He got a response almost immediately, OMG REALLY?? I'll see you then :D

Hopefully he wouldn't have to sneak out.

Again.

"Neo it's nearly time." Cinder smirked. "Two days and we'll get exactly what we want."
