Don't Let Go

Chapter 9

Yang walked through the streets with her hands in her pockets. She avoided walking down the street where the fight with Cinder happened and where she last saw Blake. "Where are you...?" she muttered under her breath and looked around, "you better be alive..." She continued to walk through the streets. She wasn't really paying attention to where she was going and ended up bumping into someone.

The girl that Yang had run into looked up, "I'm so-" she cut herself off and stared at Yang with fear in her eyes.

"Blake?" Yang watched as the girl turned and ran away. She hadn't really gotten a good look at her face, but she knew for sure that it was her partner. After a moment of hesitation she sprinted after her, she wasn't going to lose her again. "Blake! Blake! Stop!" Tears burned in her eyes as she pushed through crowds of people, not caring if she knocked them over. Rage filled her as she chased her teammate. What the hell had happened to her? Why did she look so afraid? Even with the quick glance she got, she saw the scars and bruises that covered her face.

The girl took a sharp turn which threw Yang off. She took too wide of a turn and ran into a wall. She groaned and followed after Blake again.

-

Blake ran as fast as she could, clutching the bag of supplies tightly. She couldn't mess up here...she would be severely punished. Quickly, she looked over her shoulder and saw Yang catching up. Her foot caught on something and she fell to the ground. She heard Yang drop down beside her and grabbed her arm.

"Blake-"

"Let go! Let me go!" The dark haired girl cried out as she turned and looked at her blonde haired partner. She couldn't help but noticed the sadness in Yang's eyes. A quiet sigh escaped her as she got back up onto her feet. She looked around quickly to make sure the coast was clear before looking back down at Yang. "Follow me," she whispered. Yang quickly got up and Blake dragged her into an empty alleyway. She stared up at the blonde, she didn't know what to say.

Yang pulled Blake in for a hug and started crying. "Where have you been...? where have you been...?" She cried as Blake hugged her back.

"Yang... I can't really tell you anything... This is all I'm willing to tell you..." she sighed, "I am injured, but don't worry, it's nothing too bad and please... please don't follow me," she looked up Yang with a pleading look in her eyes, "One or both of us will be killed..." She pulled away from the hug. "I have to go." She turned to run off, but was stopped by Yang grabbing her arm. "L-let me go! Please!"

"No...can't you see that I can't... I can't lose you again." Tears were streaming down her cheeks.

"I can't..... I have to go. I have to go," she was shaking. If she didn't go back soon, she was going to be in a lot of trouble.

"No you don't! We can help you!" Yang used her earpiece to call Ozpin. "I found her."

"Okay, I need you to get her back to the school. You are authorized to use force if needed," Ozpin replied, "be safe."

"Understood." Yang held onto Blake tightly. "C'mon, let's get back to school."

"No! LET ME GO!" She kicked her legs and tried to get free.

Cinder stepped around the corner and saw Blake and the girl who was with Blake when she took her. "Let her go," she said, summoning a fire in her hand.

"Oh no... oh no..." Blake was panicking, she was in so much trouble.

Yang narrowed her eyes at Cinder and pushed Blake behind her. "I won't let you take her away from me!" She got in a fighting stance and prepared Ember Celica.

Cinder shot waves of fire at Yang and knocked her back. Blake quickly got back onto her feet and stepped forward. "Stop! Don't hurt her! I'll come with you!"

The dark haired woman narrowed her eyes at Blake and turned around. "Follow me," she said coldly.

The cat faunus nodded and followed behind her captor in silence. She was terrified of what was about to happen.

"No! Blake!" Yang reached out for her, but it was too late.
