Orphaned Reader X RWBY Volume 2

I won't Allow This!

In the front room of the Belladonna Family Home, Ghira, Y/N and Sun burst in through the front door, angry. Kali watches from the front porch.

Ghira: Unbelievable!

Sun: Total garbage!

Y/N: Unacceptable!!!

Ghira lets out a growl, and he and Sun turn to each other.

Ghira and Sun: We can't let them get away with this!

Kali: (smiling) Well, at least you two can finally agree on something.

They look at her, then back at each other. Sun gives an awkward chuckle while rubbing his head, and Ghira glares slightly and growls, fists clenched. The four soon have their attention called to Blake, who speaks up from the porch.  

Blake: Guys. Everything's going to be okay.

A little while later, Blake exits her father's study, stepping out onto the balcony where an armored guard is standing nearby Y/N, who is leaning against the wall with arms folded. The guard turns and addresses her.

Menagerie Guard: Good evening, miss. Can I get you anything?

Blake: Just a little time to myself, if that's alright.

Menagerie Guard: Sure thing. Just call, if you need me.

The guard walks into Ghira's study, shutting the door behind her. Blake takes a deep sigh and is soon alerted by a familiar voice.

Ilia: You need better security.

Alarmed, Blake turns to see Ilia drop down onto the railing. The young Belladonna reaches for the door, but Ilia holds her hand up. Y/N growls at Ilia

Ilia: Please! I-I just need to talk.

Blake slowly takes her hand away from the door. Y/N steps forward

Y/N: Yeah sure you do! Did you want to talk when you scarred me for LIFE!!! (he points to the scar over his eye)

Blake: How could you take the fall for them, Ilia?

Ilia: (standing up) Blake...

Blake: Corsac and Fennec blamed you. We confronted them tonight, and they deny knowing anything and everything found on your Scroll. They talked about how disappointed they were to hear that you'd sided with Adam. But you and I both know they're guilty.

Ilia: You can't prove anything.

Blake: That Scroll might not have been enough to lock them up, but it's enough to sway the Faunus here. When we go public tomorrow, they're not going to stand for any of it. And neither should you.

Ilia removes her mask, a solemn expression on her face. Y/N steps back, next to his sister .

Ilia: Your plan isn't gonna work, Blake. (looking at her) Please... just leave Menagerie before it's too late.

Blake stares at her in silence for a few moments.

Blake: You're going to have to make me.

Y/N: Me too. I'm not gonna leave my home not even a WEEK into being here!

Ilia remains silent for a few moments before responding.

Ilia: (sadly) I know.

The chameleon Faunus dons her mask once again and steps backward off the balcony. Blake turns away and gains an angry expression, her cat ears folding. After a moment, the anger fades, and she sighs, taking on a saddened expression. Y/N places a hand on Blake's shoulder, and the two of them go inside for a while. The next morning, Ghira , wearing glasses, paces back and forth looking at a piece of paper in hands, while his wife Kali, his daughter Blake, his son Y/N and Sun all wait for him to be ready. Ghira then stops pacing and takes one last look at the speech he has written down, before sighing as his wife places a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
