Before The Aftermath
Blake was holding her head in pain. Adam had hit her in the head. She tried to attack Adam only to get grabbed by the neck, pushing her into the railing. Blake gasped as she choked. She looks at Adam, almost begging for mercy but she knows deep inside that wouldn't be the case. She looked over her shoulder. Before she then lifted herself off the ground, pulling Adam over the railing with herself. Blake didn't have enough time to use her grappling and fell through many branches.
She laid on the ground, groaning. Surprised that her aura hasn't broke yet. Adam was quick on his feet and ran towards Blake, who stood up and ran off. Swinging around.
"Blake... are you okay?" Adam had come to Blake's aid after he found her up against the wall shaking. She was assigned to a mission for the White Fang and ended up almost dying.
Adam takes off Blake's mask. Showing her yellow eyes. Tears ran down her cheeks. Adam caressed Blake's cheeks.
"A-Adam I- I could've-" Blake started to cry. Adam hugs her. Letting her sob into his shoulder. Blake felt comfort, and she knew she was safe.
"Everything would've been perfect if you didn't leave me!!" Adam shouted. Blake winced at the volume. She swiftly moved to the side to avoid Adam's weapon hitting her. They both arrived at a cliff area with a waterfall.
"Adam pleas-"
"Adam this, Adam that, Adam you're wrong blah blah blah SHUT UP!!! Blake...." Adam took a deep breath, lowering his weapon. He still has that same look he gave Blake when she left.
"We can change the world. The humans will finally respect us..." Adam smirks as he slowly walks up to Blake, who still held up her weapon. Her ears were back, holding the same upset look on her face.
"Look at you. I can tell you've changed, and I'm so proud of you. It hurts me to see us fighting... I don't want to hurt you. Please Blake..." Adam was standing in front of Blake, caressing her cheeks.
"Adam... please stop. I'm not coming back." Blake scowls. Adam stares for a few seconds before his expression changed drastically. He held Blake's cheeks tightly, digging his nails into her skin.
"WHY WON'T YOU?! YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND!!! YOU MADE A PROMISE TO ME!!!" Adam then slammed his katana handle to Blake's head. Blake let out a shout of pain, holding her head in pain. Her ears are ringing. She then sees Adam pulling his swords out. Blake has no time to recover. She'll have to rely on her sight for now. Blake grabs her Gambol Shroud and prepared herself for an attack.
"I loved you... why did you have to break me?! why?! WHY?!" Adam went full on attacking Blake. Not showing any mercy. Her hearing did come back but Blake was already getting low on her aura. She's getting tired too. Blake struggled to keep up with Adam. It eventually came to a point where Blake is getting cuts on her skin. She pants as she stares at Adam. Would he kill her...?
Blake shuddered at the thought. She doesn't want to die. Adam charged towards her, Blake held up her sword, only to watch it break in front of her wide eyes and shocked expression.
The next thing she knows is being kicked away. She let out a grunt, looking up, she got hit by the katana. Blake is getting all beat up. She pushes herself up, glaring at Adam.
"Adam... you are... so delusional..." Blake panted, rolling over. Adam scowls and pointed his katana at Blake. Pointing at the scar he gave Blake.
"Ah. Doesn't this bring good memories? I remember your... weird friend tried to save you. Hm. Cutting her arm off was so.... SO satisfying." Adam laughs. Blake froze. She's not sure what to do. She is drained. She's not even sure her semblance will work right now. She's sure Adam gave her a mild concussion. Would her timing even be good?
Adam stepped on Blake's leg. Eventually he dug his katana into Blake's stomach. Blake cried out in pain.
"I don't care if you die... I will make sure to let the Faunus know that you betrayed your own kind... I'll make sure the world knows what a traitor you are..." Adam had a sinister grin on his face. He pulled out his katana. Letting Blake bleed on the ground. She takes in sharp inhales.
"I'll make sure you suffer a long time before you die. I'll make you feel the pain I've had to deal with. I'll stab you over and over and over...!" Adam smirks. Blake looked over to her weapon. She gritted her teeth. She rolls over, clawing at the ground, she slowly drags her body towards her weapon. Smearing a blood path along the way.
"Tsk... why are you trying so hard? You've lost Blake. Give up." Adam watched. Blake cries out in pain, the rubbing against her wound was awful. She reached for her weapon only to have Adam step on her hand. She looks up at Adam.
"Please..." Blake clutched at her waist with her free hand. She could feel her vision blurring. There was a metallic taste in her mouth. That wasn't a good sign. Blake rested her cheek against the ground. Letting blood spill from her mouth.
"Ruby. . . Weiss. . . I- I'm so sorry... Y-Yang..." Blake choked on her tears. Her eyelid grows heavier by seconds.
Suddenly the pressure from her hand was gone. She felt the ground shake a bit. Along with a lot of muffled noise. In the corner of her eye, she saw a woman with. . . fire hai-
Yang. It was Yang. She... she came. Blake didn't want Yang to see her like this. Blake tried to sit up. She pushed herself off the ground, her arm shaking in the process.
"BLAKE! Hey! Hey." Yang ran up to Blake. Holding her shoulder. Yang helped Blake sit up. Her eyes widening at Blake's wound.
"Oh geez... looks like I was late to the party." Yang smiles a bit. Blake huffed out. Having a faint smile on her face.
"The fuck is this...?"
Blake and Yang looked in the same direction. Staring at Adam who looked at the girls.
"Why are you looking at her like that? Why... WHAT DO YOU SEE IN HER?!" Adam shouted. Yang stood in front of Blake.
'I'm not gonna make her fight alone...' Groaning, she forced herself to get up.
"Blake...!" Yang hissed.
"I'm helping you."
"No... you are n-"
Yang didn't even have time to respond whej Adam charged at her. Yang throws a punch at his stomach, making Adam let out a choked groan. He gritted his teeth and swung his katana. Yang leaning forward to dodge the sword and kicking his knee, forcing him to fall onto his knees, and Yang finishes with a knee to Adam's chin. Sending him flying off.
"I got this Blake." Yang then turns her head around to look at Blake from behind. "Don't pus-"
"I'm... I'm gonna be okay..." Blake tightly held her waist, but she picked up her broken Gambol Shroud. Yang was deeply worried, but she trusted Blake. So she responded with a nod.
"Tch... you could come back to being a White Fang member so you don't have to DIE protecting her..." Adam threatened. Yang was about to attack when Blake held Yang's hand.
"I'm not protecting her. She isn't protecting me..." Blake pauses to take a deep breath.
"We're protecting each other." Blake finishes her sentence. Keeping a cold glare on Adam. That had pissed him off.
"FINE! YOU CAN ROT IN HELL!" Adam roared as he charged forward at the girls. To which they dodged and worked together to beat Adam.
Unfortunately Blake wasn't as flexible as she was earlier. She can't bend at a position due to her injuries. So it did make her fight seem sluggish, but she was helping Yang. So that was enough.
"HAh!" Blake shouted as she threw her Gambol Shroud at Adam, to which he deflected with his katana, sending it back to Blake.
Thankfully Yang grabbed it and proceeded to swing Blake. Usually it was Blake who swung Yang around, but now she got a taste for what it feels like. It was indeed fun. But nows not the time!
Blake let our a roar as she used her weapon to attack Adam. Gritting her teeth, she saw a smirk on Adam's face. Her eyes widened when she sees a red glow.
There was a sharp pain and Blake was sent flying. She crashed into the wall of a waterfall. Blake was immediately knocked out after that. Her unconscious body falls down, hitting a ledge before falling into the river.
"BLAAAKEEEE!!!" Yang screamed. Her eyes turned red. She's pissed. Adam was about to attack Yang from behind, but Yang wasn't having that. She turned around and sent a punch into his stomach.
"ILL DEAL WITH YOU LATER!" Yang yelled. She then ran to the cliff and jumped off. Diving into the water. God she hated the cold. But that wasn't important. Yang swam along the river. Eventually seeing Blake's body to which Yang grabbed. Using her gauntlets, Yang shoots herself out of the water with Blake in her arm. Yang laid Blake against the grass. Looking concerned. First thing she did was check for a pulse.
"Oh thank god she has one... I'm so sorry Blake." Yang sighs. "I'll be back with you soon. I promise. I have to deal with the asshole first." Yang then stood up. She shoot at the ground to send her flying back the cliff where Adam was.
"Mmg...mh..." Blake groans. Her eyes fluttering open. Everything was ringing. Her eyes felt heavy. She's freezing. Blake was sure she has a concussion. She doesn't want to move. It hurts to move. Blake closes her eyes.
The next thing she knew was that she was in Yang's arms. Yang has a cut on her cheek, and it bled down. She was worried. Scared. Blake only had to make a small sound to alert Yang, to which she was about to say something...
"She's alive!" Ruby jumped in happiness.
"For now she is! She's badly injured!" Yang exclaimed.
"Yeah I can tell." Weiss ran up to Blake and Yang. Realizing that they're both drenched. "You need help too. Geez what did you two get yourself into?!"
"Long story. I'll explain later" Yang quickly spoke. Blake could only whimper. To which Yang's hand moved Blake's bangs out of the way. Blake could only give her a small smile.
"You're gonna be okay. I got you..." Yang's voice starred to fade out. But Blake knew she was safe. She closes her eyes. Finally getting the rest she needs.
