(no subject)

Who:Blake and Yang, Blake and whoever comes to visit her in the hospital.
What:Aftermath of Murder Plot, be warned.
When: Evening
Where: Fayren, in the place that Yang finds her wandering, half lucid and trying to find Weiss and later in the Hospital.
Warnings: Murder plot related, Blake took a beating. She is NOT pretty to look at right now.


Afterword:
Blake coughed and gasped coming back into consciousness. As soon as he did a hundred pin pricks of fire shot through her lips and she whimpered. The tag in her right ear throbbed but it was nothing compared to the bloody, deep gash that was still oozing blood where Battler had branded her. It was amazing she had ever regained consciousness at all.

And then slowly, things started to come flooding back. Her eyes widened, but her pupils were dilated with panic as well as agony now. "WEI - ACK!"

She couldn't complete her teammate's name. Could not talk at all really. Suddenly she leaned over and heaved. All of the blood she had swallowed was not agreeing with her. And no matter how much it hurt she couldn't stop herself from throwing up. She wondered distantly if she was going to die before she swooned, putting her head between her legs as she crouched there, the picture of an abused, dirty animal.

She gasped, each breath she drew hurting more than the last.

Weiss, where are you?

She could not lay down and die here. She forced herself to stand, using her good arm to lean against the wall of the alley way she was in for support. Where was her device? She'd get a message to Yang, Ruby...someone and tell them that Battler was a sick bastard and they had to find Weiss before it was too late. She didn't know why he had let her go, but she'd worry about details later.

When she found it she tried to type but her hands were trembling so bad that all she got was:


Text:
Baattt;er crazy. He's sIck. Attacked us. Weiss. Hurt bad. Ffffffing Weiss!



Hospital:
The ear tag had been removed. A simple puncture wound that was healing well. Thanks to a combination of modern medicine and her aura recovering the swelling around her mouth was looking better, though she might be left with a thin white scar or two. But what had kept Blake in surgery the longest was her arm. Battler had burned her thoroughly. Tissue was badly damaged and there would definitely be a terrible scar from that.

She tossed, fading in and out.

I'm not with him anymore.

[ "Escape" wasn't exactly the right word, but Blake had gone through enough. She'd let her worry about Weiss dying once she was a little better. ]

Please make sure Ruby, Jaune, Winter, and Flynt are safe. He got them too.

I'm safe. I don't want to talk to or see anyone right now.
I probably won't come home for a while.
I just wanted to make sure you and everyone got out and let you know that I'm safe, so don't come after me.


[ Weiss had tried to go home, tried to go back to that cabin to make sure that everyone had gotten out or to face Battler now that she was free, but her feet wouldn't move when she tried to go. She was petrified to think about going back, scared to see the faces of the people who were brought there solely because of her. She'd tried to go home and it felt like she couldn't breathe. It wasn't as if she felt like she was running either, she just couldn't yet.

Just in case Blake doesn't believe it's her, she sends a snapchat selfie attached to the message. There's no blood, everything's clean. It looks like behind her head is a sleeping back she's laying on, but it's carefully framed that the sleeping bag is all that's visible in the background. Weiss just looks.. exhausted, numb, but alive and not in physical pain. Probably too clean for how she'd looked in that cabin, considering the only visible scar seemed to be the one she always had over her eye. The message says "See? Safe and whole." ]

He doesn't know where I am any better than you do.
I doubt there's more than one or two people who would even think to look here.

It doesn't matter if it's my fault or not. I want to stay here.


[ It may not be her fault, but he still chose who he did because of her. She still has to remember everything that happened. She still has to remember nearly falling in love with a monster like that, letting him get close to her friends and family. She didn't have to blame herself to be terrified to leave the one place she felt even a little secure, if only because of memories. ]

I never told him about this place. Sun and Armin are probably the only ones who would know.

Blake, stop. I'm not blaming myself. I know better than to. I went through that the first time.
It doesn't matter because I can't do this.
I'm going back to bed.
I don't want to talk about any of this. I just want everything to go away.
