Lurking Darkness

No Lies, No Half Truths

"Y/n..." Not again.
"Leave. Me. Alone." You sternly day to "Pyrrha."
"Oh? You want me to go? You gonna leave me again?" She states.
"Pyrrha. I tried." You begin falling, you look up at her.
"Sure you did." She spits as you fall.

"AHH!" You wake up, surrounded by RWY and JNR. Qrow is on the other couch just watching, he takes a chug from his flask.

"Kid. Time for a heart to heart." You realize your hands are behind your back and you're tied up.

"You know I could get out of these right?"

"And the second you try it, I'll knock you out again." Yang adds.

"How do you know I wasn't holding back?"

"Because you could've killed me with that weird eye thingy Qrow told me about." Yang says.

"What is wrong Y/n?" Ruby is pleading you to just talk.

"Like all of you don't already know."

"Why do you think we're asking you dolt?" Weiss adds.

"Like the heiress is the SDC cares about poor, little me." Your words are laced with Deathstalker venom.

"Ex-heiress actually." She looks away.

"Listen kid. Now you're gonna have to tell us what's wrong."

"Because a drunk old man with no common sense cares about me too?"

"Well, yea kid. Hit the nail on the head there." He sits back and puts bottoms up.

"Just talk to us! Please!" You hear Nora say.

"Why should I?!"

"Remember what I told you the night of your nightmare?" Ruby adds. You look around and no one reacts.

"Glad to see you're telling everyone about my personal life 'Red'." You add to the end.

"What is wrong with you? You know I lov—."Gusts of icy air shoot through the house, destroying plates, bowls, and glass alike.

"You better shut the hell up Jaune..."

"So... it's that huh?" He says.

"Then what's it got to do with Blake?"

"Don't know if you've noticed, but I don't handle abandonment well. Especially after I killed my mother!" The gusts of air increase, slowly beginning to push everyone back.

"Pyrrha wouldn't have wanted—!" You look at Jaune. Eyes icy blue, you direct the icy wind to him and knock him to the wall, everyone else can't even get close to you because of the vortex of air flowing in the house.

"Jaune. You get one sentence. Make it count." You threaten.

"Is this what Pyrrha would want you to do to your friends? Your girlfriend?" He states. It cuts through you like butter...

"I suppose you're right..." You stop the winds and begin to return back to normal temperatures.

"Y/n." You look and see Blake... terrified.

"I'm sorry..." You break your restraints and speed out of the house.

"Y/n!!" Blake yells.You go back into the back yard. You hear the door open.

"Y/n?" It's Blake.

"Please don't look at me. I don't deserve it."

"Don't say that. Please look at me." The air turns a warm, welcoming sensation.

"Blake...I...I failed everyone. I don't want to be treated like it's okay." You get out through tears. She puts a hand on your shoulder, you twitch away at this feeling.

"Please don't love me..."

"I can't do that." She says.

"Don't lie to me Blake." You look at her blurry image through walls of tears.

"Do I look like I'm lying?" She hugs you tightly, not letting go.

"I love you."

You collapse... stunned that someone as important as her can still love you after what happened.

"Blake... I..."

"It's okay, I know. I'm not leaving ever again either." You grab her and pull her close, you notice something you had forgotten about when you first saw her.

"Your... bow..."

"I chucked it. It floating somewhere in the ocean now."

"I knew you'd look better without it..."

"Thank you. I have to explain to you why I left. This is all my fault. Gods Y/n... I am so sorr—."
You pull her into a deep kiss.

"You don't have to tell me why you left. Just be here, by my side from now on." She blushed a hot red.

"I will."

"How are my favorite lovebirds doing?" Yang walks out.

"Good now that I'm calm. I'm so sorry you guys, I've been a complete asshole and horrible person. Will you guys forg—?" Nora, Ruby, Yang, and Weiss all tackle you and hug you.

"You idiot! Of course we forgive you!" Nora noras out loud. This makes you chuckle a little bit.

"Thanks you guys, I think I'm going to go to bed now."

"Me too." Blake says, she gives a quick look to Yang, who thumbs her up. You and Blake walk up to a room. As you plop on the bed. Blake speaks up.

"Sooo Mr. Training..." she runs her fingers up your chest.

"Your Semblance under control now from what I hear?" She has this devilish look in her amber orbs, and she smiles at you.

Damn that smile...
