A/N: This is a quick note, if you're a new person reading this I wish to inform you that this story will go through cleaning in the nearest future. Grammar and other stuff will get fixed and adjusted. Reason for this was that the help I have now, allows me to up the quality of my work, help that I didn't have when I started. Otherwise continue, the cleanup will not change any plot or anything, I simply wanted for people to know that I'm aware of the quality difference between the earlier part and the last chapters.
Blake was pacing back and forth inside the room she shared with the other girls. Yang and Ruby were gone for the weekly break. Rare moment for them to enjoy some time with their dad. Now this was excellent opportunity to ask Weiss for help. She wished that she didn't have to. Not that she mistrusted her white haired teammate, but she simply didn't want to involve too much people. More people knew, the more possibility of an accidental slip. You had to control the information flow.
The doors opened, and sound of that would break Blakes train of thought. "Blake, hello. Now why is it that you begged me to not leave for the weekly break and insisted I would stay with you? I mean, I do not mind since you would be lonely here. But still, I would assume you'd rather ask Yang or Ruby, not me." Weiss raised a brow as she awaited an answer.
Blake didn't pay much attention to the girls babbling. She always used way too many words to say things. But she shouldn't be thinking bad about her. At least not now.
"Weiss I need your help. And its a big problem. Very big, and only you can help me." Blake's faced the heiress with a frown, giving her a stern look. Weiss grimaced at that.
"Because I'm a Schnee?" That made Blake wince as she looked away from Weiss.
"I'm sorry Weiss." The cat faunus looked back at the heiress with newly found determination. Something that made the white haired girl drop her annoyed facade. "But trust me if I tell you that its important." Weiss nodded
"Very well Blake. I trust you that whatever the issue is, its important. Speaking of which, what...is Exactly the issue?" The heiress eyebrow rose in question.
"I'll...I'll Show it to you. We need to go to Vale for that. Are you free now?" Blake inquired, to which the Schnee simply shrugged.
"Free as I ever will be. Lead on."
ooOOOoo
As Blake lead Weiss through the streets of Vale, the Heiress started to think that the cat faunus was lost and was just too proud to admit it. She couldn't help but sigh at the thought. There was still that part of her believing that the catgirl actually knew where she was going and it was just in the most obscure place possible.
Weiss understood that each and every city or place would sooner or later get divided into the "better" and "worse" places. Perhaps not slums, but it was impossible for the community of any bigger place to not divide between the better and the worse, whatever that could mean. People were, after all, judgmental. Part of their nature, really.
The deeper they went into these streets, the less nicer it was getting. The buildings here were having scratches and graffiti on the walls, showing that they weren't really renovated too often, if at all. There was a decreasing number of stores or shops of any kind that Weiss could notice, and increasing numbers of bars and other such...habitations
"We're here." Blake whispered to the Schnee. Weiss couldn't help but think what kind of important secret it would be, that the faunus brought her all the way into a place like this. She trusted her teammate to not bait her into a trap, but the shady place didn't help calming her nerves.
They entered a dark alleyway, Blake leading them deeper into it. The faunus girl stopped near a stack of boxes and looked around, as if afraid they were followed or watched. Apparently deciding they were not, she started to move the boxes to the side, revealing a cellar window. Blake opened it and would sat ready to slide into the hole, when she heard Weisses voice.
"You have to be kidding me Blake. Do you expect me to dirty my outfit to slide into that...hole." The heiress frowned to which Blake sighed softly.
"Weiss please, its really important. And I don't want to argue here, someone will notice. Come on." With that Blake slided into the hole. Weiss wanted to argue some more but seeing as the faunus girl disappeared in the black abyss of whatever it was she lead Weiss into, she simply stomped her feet and grunted in annoyance.
She cursed under her breath, something Weiss rarely did, but finally gave in. She sat down and opened the cellar window, slipping in behind Blake. Once inside, she noticed that Blake already lighted the place with a single bulb that hanged from the ceiling. It wasn't much of an improvement, but at least it wasn't pitch black anymore.
"Alright, Weiss? I trust you with this. I want you to promise me you won't tell anyone. And I mean, nobody. Not even Ruby or Yang. I...I'll Tell them...someday. But I want to do it under controlled circumstances." Blake then would look at the heiress with a pleading look on her face.
Weiss was growing more and more curious of what this secret was. It was clearly very important to the faunus girl. She nodded. "I promise Blake. Your secret is safe with me." That made Blake smile brightly.
The catgirl turned towards another stack of boxes would extend her hands towards it. Weiss raised her brow at that.
"Its alright, come out. Its me, Blake." What the Schnee saw next was nothing that she expected to see. Two girls peeked out from behind the boxes, they looked at her, before quickly scampering towards Blake, hiding behind the cat faunus.
One of them, the taller one, had long white hair and white bunny ears. Her eyes piercing red. While the other had shorter hair and black...were Those cat ears? Weiss wasn't sure. Her eyes dark blue. They both wore ruined shirts and short pants. The shirts were perhaps once white, now yellowish in color, with smudges of different colors. Their short pants brown, with visible holes here and there, reaching just below their knees. The smaller girl being perhaps shorter by a head from the taller one.
"Weiss? Meet Sapphire and Pearl." The cat faunus smiled as she introduced the two girls. And Weiss could feel her jaw drop.
