Lurking Darkness

Time to Party

"Yaaaay... Dinner with Jacque Schnee..." You thought sarcastically.

"I can't believe my father would turn this political stunt into a fucking PR move." Weiss cursed.

"Woah Ice Queen, I don't think I've ever heard you swear such obscenities." You mock.

"I think it's incredible to be able to make this work." She adds.

"Well, what're we gonna do?" Oscar asks.

"We go to the party." Ruby says.

"Something's not right." Weiss adds in.

"You think Jacque may have something to do with Salem?" Ruby asks.

"Gods I hope not..."

"Well... I have an idea Weiss." Yang says.

"What do I need to do?"

"You're the only one here who can snoop around the mansion without anyone getting suspicious. So during the party, you get into Jacque's office, and see what you can find." Yang says.

"That's... actually not a bad plan." Weiss says.

"Did you just give a compliment?" You joke.

"I'm not the harsh bitch I used to be Y/n." She retorts.

"That was kinda bitchy." Yang jokes.

"Be quiet." She looks at her sunny little dragon.
Yang sticks her tongue out.

Later that night

You, Teams RWBY and JNR, Oscar, The Ace Ops and James and Winter all arrive at the Schnee Manor.

"It's giant, and gaudy, I don't like the way the air feels." You heat up and make it warmer.

"Better."

"I agree." Blake walks beside you holding your arm. You overhear James and Winter.

"Suppose we should smile for the cameras?" He ask the specialist.

"Sir, with all due respect, you'd have to pay me." He smiles, finding that humorous. James knocks on the doors to the manor. A young white haired boy opens it.

"Welcome! Glad to see you made it..." He says sarcastically.

"Where's Klein?" Weiss asks.

"What an odd way of saying 'Hello dearest brother! How have you been?' I'm afraid you won't find him here, he was let go, forcefully. I can't imagine why." He smirks at his sister.
Weiss is saddened by this news, Yang put her arm around her.

"General? Do you know how big our dining table is?" He asks.

"Well I happen to know it's enormous, and besides, most of us are going to be standing by in case the council requests any other witnesses. But while they wait, I'm sure they'll all be happily celebrating your father's victory." James says with a smile. The boy let's you all in.

"Those of you joining us in the dining room, please follow me." He requests.

"Shit, I have to go too huh..." You begin to follow Ironwood, Clover, Winter, and Penny into the room.

"Wish us luck." Clover asks.

"Well, they invited you didn't they?" Qrow adds. He smiles at Qrow. You begin following the officials, as you technically are a witness, especially since you were stabbed and poisoned.

Weiss' P.O.V

"Alright everyone, don't wander off, don't break anything, and be prepared if the General calls on more witnesses." Harriet states. The rest of the Aces walk off. Qrow left to go patrol the grounds.

"Counter-point! How about we do wander off, consider breaking things and then all of that other stuff?" Yang asks with a smile.

"I'll keep in touch." You smile and point to your ear. Yang smiles back.

"Dear sister, I was hoping we could use this time to catch up." Your brother appears from nowhere.

"Hello Whitley."

"I have to know. Why did you go through all that trouble to leave home, only to come running back?" He snarks at you.
You sigh.

Y/n's P.O.V

"General Ironwood..." What a creature, you stare at Jacques and you can feel the greed radiating off of him.

"Please, have a seat." You look at James and he nods, Clover and Winter and Penny as well.

"Councilman Sleet, Councilwoman Camilla." James greets them.

"Councilwoman Hill would've had a nice ring to it." Robyn adds.

"Why is she here?" James asks about Robyn.

"The same thing we're all doing here James, addressing the concerns of our kingdom. Which means, we have much to discuss."

"Indeed, I was hoping we could start by—."
He's cut off by Jacque.

"Are we safe with her here by the way?" He points to Penny.

"If I recall correctly, she was involved in that horrific massacre." You look at Penny, she's saddened. You tighten your fist.

"As the official report states, that footage was doctored. Penny is completely under my control." She looks worse.

"Which is concerning I believe."

"Concerning?"

"Let us talk about exactly what it is that you control." He snarks through his facial hair.

Weiss' P.O.V

"...and I'll be leading the company when the time comes." He says proudly.

"Well Whitley, I'm sure the company is lucky to have you, now if you'll pardon me."

"And where do you think you're going?" He continues talking, sentence upon sentence.

"... the company has even promised me my own parking space. I don't even have a vehicle yet, but that spot is mine and mine alone."

"OH NO. LOOK OUT." You hear a familiar voice. A woman happens to walk in front of you and Whitley. She is suddenly hit with a metric ton of food.

"WAAAAAHHHH!!" She throws her wine out of the glass, it hits Whitley, making his white hair purple. You stand there with your hands over your mouth, to hide your intense smile.

"If you'll excuse me..." He walks out flicking wine out of his hair. You look back to your team, Ruby is laughing loudly, Blake is smiling widely. Yang just winks at you and mouths.

"You're clear." You wink back and head upstairs, to Jacque's office...

The names Schnee, Weiss Schnee... secret agen- okay I'll stop. Again, thanks for reading! -P
