Hey! I know I've been gone for a while but am back, my plan is to finish the story before quarantine is over.
Enjoy!
Cinder just stared at the picture. "How could she have known?" Cinder thought as a chill went down her back. Her mind went into deep thought she must have stood there for a while, when a text finally snapped her out of her thoughts it was sundown and the rain had ceased. She looked down to see who had texted her. It was from Pyrrha.
Pyrrha: Hey! I know we already did something together today, but my friends and I were going to go down to Vale and I was wondering if you would like to join us?
Cinder paused before answering. She knew that she shouldn't go with Pyrrha but for some reason, she couldn't say no.
Cinder: Sure, where should we meet?
Pyrrha: At the airship docks in half an hour. See you then!
Half an hour later Cinder was standing by the airship docks waiting for Pyrrha. Suddenly she felt a soft hand cover her eyes.
"guess who?" Pyrrha asked giggling softly.
"I knew you were there Pyrrha." Cinder said a ghost of a smile appearing on her lips.
"Aw you're no fun" Pyrrha said moving her hand and stepping back as Cinder turned around, her eyes met Pyrrha's and she smiled.
"Where are your friends?"
"They are on their way. I just went on ahead for a little" Pyrrha said smiling softly one of her hands grabbing Cinder's. "I believe someone owed me a kiss?"
"Do I now?" Cinder responded as leaned forward a bit, her face getting closer to Pyrrha's.
"Yes, I believe you did" Pyrrha said leaning towards Pyrrha their lips getting progressively closer until...
"Is that the Cinder!" An energetic voice called out as Pyrrha quickly pulled away.
"Yes Nora. This is Cinder" Pyrrha said stepping away from said girl a little.
"Its so nice to meet you." Nora said shaking Cinder's hand vigorously, Two men that Cinder didn't recognize stood behind Nora . "Pyrrha has talked a lot about you and I mean a lot.
Pyrrha blushed and quickly pushed Nora away little. "Now that you met Nora, this is Ren and Jaune." Ren responded with a polite nod, while Jaune gave a little wave.
"a pleasure" Cinder said nodding back, before starting to walk to the airship. "Are we all here?"
" we're still waiting on team RWBY" Pyrrha said as Cinder stopped in her tracks.
"Oh okay" Cinder said not turning around as her hear raced, she heard a trail of footsteps get closer to her.
"Hey. I know how you feel about Ruby, but she's really nice and I think you should to try and talk with her with her." Pyrrha said softly making sure that Nora and Ren don't hear. "I promise I'll be right there beside you".
A soft hand wrapped around Cinder's and the Brunette let out a sigh. "Okay"
"Great." Pyrrha said giving Cinder's hand a little squeeze. "They should be here any moment now"
And as if on cue Ruby's voice called out. "Sorry we are late. I forgot when we were supposed to meet."
"No problem Ruby we weren't waiting very long" Pyrrha said as Team RWBY joined the group. Cinder noticed that Weiss was still looking at her coldly.
"Shall we get going?" Ruby said happily as she boarded the Airship.
"Of course." Pyrrha said as the rest of the group boarded the plane.
The ride was rather uneventful. Cinder spent the duration of it avoiding Ruby's eyes while Weiss continues to look at her coldly. As soon as they arrived at Vale they began walking around.
"Ruby did you know that Cinder also went to signal." Pyrrha said as the continued walking.
"Oh really? Maybe you were in my sisters class?" Ruby said perking up a little.
"No I don't think we were." Yang said.
"Yeah, I only went to signal for a short time. I transferred soon after" Cinder said, squeezing Pyrrha's hand a little.
"Well, it is certainly nice to meet you now." Ruby said cheerfully.
"Likewise" Cinder said forcing a smile.
"Hey Cinder, can I talk to you privately for a minute." Weiss said grabbing Cinder's arm and pulling her aside.
Cinder let go of Pyrrha's hand. "Sure" She said as Weiss led her away from the group a little.
"What do you think you are doing?" Weiss asked staring at Cinder coldly.
"What do you mean?" Cinder answered confused.
"Don't play stupid. I know that you like Ruby." Weiss said crossing her arms "I've caught you looking at her, and I just want to say that she is mine."
"First of all . I don't like Ruby and second are you two dating?"
"Yes. No. Well we are going to." Weiss rambled. "Well I just got to ask her first."
Cinder smiled, and wished that she could have a life like them. A regular life where the only thing you worried about is if your crush doesn't like you back. But that wasn't the case for her. She sighed, "Well from what I can tell from Ruby is that she likes you too."
"Really?" Weiss said her eyes lighting up a little.
"yes, in the library. She looked at you constantly." Cinder said chuckling a little. "You should definitely ask her. "
"then I will" Weiss said straightening her posture before slouching again. "How?"
"Just ask." Cinder said plainly.
"No but I want to ask her romantically" Weiss said blushing.
Cinder chuckled. "You really like Ruby huh?"
"What no I don't" Cinder raised an eyebrow. "okay I do." Weiss said admitting defeat and blushing even more. She sighs and rests her back against a wall. "Its just that she's amazing she truly is. Every time that we talk all my troubles just melt away and all I want to do is spend more time with her. I never ever thought that I would be happy, but with her I am, and I have no idea why I am telling you this. We barely even met. Oh my look at me ramble"
Cinder chuckled "Its okay, I understand."
"You do?"
"Yes... I do" Cinder said bitterly, "but you don't have to be romantic all you got to do is ask. Save the romance for your first date"
"Okay, I will." Weiss said, turning around and walking back to the group. "Now lets go back to the group before they start wondering where we have gone."
Cinder smiled and followed Weiss.
The rest of the evening was relatively normal, and before Cinder knew it they were standing in front of the airship again.
"Hey Ruby can I talk to you for a second?" Weiss asked while the rest was boarding.
"Sure whats up?" Ruby said cheerfully.
"Um" Weiss said as she desperately made eye contact with Cinder.
"Hey, I think we should leave these two alone." Cinder said boarding the airship the rest of the group following suit. After a few minutes both Ruby and Weiss made their way into the ship.
Cinder smiled nodded at Weiss, who nodded back smiling, as she realized that Weiss' lip stick was a messed up, she also realized that the pair had come into the airship holding hands. As soon as they had arrived at Beacon everyone split up leaving Pyrrha alone with Cinder.
"Hello again." Pyrrha said walking closer to Cinder.
"hi" Cinder said turning around to face Pyrrha. "If I am not mistaken I still owe you a kiss"
"yes, you do." Pyrrha said leaning closer to Cinder.
Cinder also leaned closer to Pyrrha but as their lips were about to meet she say a little glimmer of a camera lens from a distance. "Am sorry, I-I can't do this." Cinder said as she turned around and ran back to her dorm tears escaping her eyes.
Early the next day.
Cinder didn't sleep that night, she just tossed and turned, feeling terrible and wishing that she could have had a normal life . It was around five A.M when Cinder left to the combat arena to train as she got ready for whatever Salem had planned next. She was too concentrated to hear the footsteps.
"I knew that I would find you here." Pyrrha said as she entered the Arena.
"Look Pyrrha am..." Cinder began dissolving her glass weapons.
"Sssh" Pyrrha said as she pulled out her weapon. "I know that something else is going on with you. So tell me whats going on?"
"I-I can't Pyrrha." Cinder said looking down.
"Why!" Pyrrha said swinging he weapon at Cinder in spear form. Cinder barely had time to dodge.
"why did you do that." Cinder said as she created her two glass swords again and blocked the follow up attack.
"Because I am frustrated. One moment you are happy then the next you have a complete look of sorrow. Seeing you suffering make me sick to my stomach." Pyrrha said as she continued attacking Cinder. Cinder blocking every attack with her weapons.
"Pyrrha please just leave me alone" Cinder said as tears filled her eyes.
"No, not until you tell me whats going on!" Pyrrha changed her Weapon into sword form and sliced downward the impact breaking both of Cinders swords.
With that Cinder's resolve broke and she fell on both knees tears freely falling down her cheeks. "I fell into the wrong crowd and now am afraid that they might hurt you. I just don't want you to get hurt." Cinder said stuttering.
Pyrrha dropped her weapon and softly grabbed Cinder's chin and moved her head so their eyes met. " Cinder, I know we just met but I have this feeling in my gut that we are meant to be together. I know that that sounds stupid but there is no other way to say it. I-I love you Cinder."
Cinder broke into more tears but this time she wrapped her arms around Pyrrha crying into her neck. She felt Pyrrha hug her back with those warm strong arms of hers, she felt her softly kissing the top of her head, and for the first time in a long time Cinder felt safe.
It took a while for Cinder to stop crying but Pyrrha never stopped comforting her. She could have stayed like that for days but Pyrrha would still be there. At that moment Cinder knew exactly what to say. "I love you too"
Suddenly she felt warm lips on hers and she leaned into the kiss. They kissed for what felt like forever. Once they pulled back Cinder slumped back into Pyrrha's arms this time with a smile on her face.
