Chapter XVIII: Pain
Weiss' POV
That didn't work on me, not one bit... that bozo thinks he can trick me with that pathetic disguise... I've seen that monster's face too much times to have it etched out of my memory simply by time alone. And no wig or makeup is going to change my view in this boy.
Me: Can I be excused for a moment father.
I asked, my so-called father dismissively waved me off as he continued talking to another nearby woman. I got up and walked quickly to where I had seen Y/N go, somewhere near the washrooms I presumed. People complimented me politely while I passed them, seeing as I was the heiress. But I had no time to waste, that boy meant trouble wherever he went. Disaster always follows, either an explosion, an attack or a murder. He has to be stopped,
I found him about to enter the kitchen, probably another phase of another plan of his, I grabbed his hand firmly. Dragging him against his will to a secluded area.
Y/N: Oh no, did I do something wrong?
He asked. I didn't listen, I just kept dragging him until we came to a clearing.I then tossed him into the wall.
Me: I may not have my weapon with me right now. But I'll threaten you with my fists if I have to!
Y/N: P-please Madame, you're scaring me.
I shoved him against the wall in anger. Not thinking about the fact that even with his superb acting skills, he sounded suspiciously how could I say this... not like Y/N.
Me: I know what you're hiding! You've killed so many... no more! I shall not allow this to go any further!
The boy began shouting, not at me. But for help.
Y/N: Help! Someone help! This lady is trying to hurt me!
Me: What are you playing at?
I asked, bewildered by his close to perfect acting skills.
Y/N: Get away from me! You crazy woman! I haven't done anything wrong!
He screamed desperately. I then heard the sounds of multiple running feet eminent behind me. I turned and saw a few dozen chefs along with some of the partygoers standing behind them, trying to comprehend what was wrong, my blood ran cold as I saw a tall white-haired man, which had to be my father pushing his way through the crowd, only to see his daughter and a kneeling waiter below her pleading for his life.
Lilith's POV
Getting in was the easy part, but now finding Y/N in this heap of rich people was something else entirely. Plus the chocolate fountain was a bit of a distraction for me, sugary, spice but not too nice, gave my sweet tooth a bit of a run.
That was when I heard Y/N's voice calling out in the hallways. Many chefs began exiting the kitchen, as well as a few rich chaperones and onlookers entering the clearing. I quickly gave chase to them and followed to the alleged scene.
I gave way to the infamous Mr. Schnee as he made his way through the vast crowd. I silently gasped to myself as I saw my Y/N cowering in fear before that bitch Weiss Schnee. Even though he's not the boy he'a supposed to be, seeing him in this weak state was almost heartbreaking for me. Mr. Schnee grunted and grabbed his daughter violently by the ponytail and muttered something to himself, before leading her out of the hallway, further away I could hear him scolding her hard.
Mr. Schnee: Tainting the Schnee image and for what!? What did that boy ever do to you? Hell, I've never even seen him in the first place, and I think I'm going crazy... But this is unacceptable. You, attacking a well paid employee of ours, abusing his well-earned presence for your outbursts!
Weiss: But dad! The Ace of-
The man held up his finger, his daughter silenced her filthy mouth almost instantly. I smirked to myself.
Mr. Schnee: The Ace of Spades is dead! Get over the paranoia... and I thought I mentally prepared you for everything dear daughter... I'm afraid I was wrong, now excuse me... I have to go clean up the mess you've made of our name!
The white suited man yelled, Weiss herself sweatig beneath his shadow was enough to keep me satisfied. She then saw me, squinting her eyes... I smirked at her and innocently waved. Weiss made a snarling noise and stomped up to her room. I returned to the scene to find most of the men and women gone, with Y/N and Mr. Schnee the only ones remaining at the scene. The man was holding out a small wad of bills, I could hear him talking in the distance.
Mr. Schnee: Son, what's to say we keep this between us Schnee's and yourself hmm? I'm terribly sorry my illiterate daughter decided to blow up on you, I swore I did not have anything to do with it... As your server and you as the servant, any person working for the Schnee family in the honor of our mansion deserves the best for them.
Y/N stammered, trying to make out the way with his voided brain left behind by the shadow of his once-genius mind.
Mr. Schnee: Sonny boy, here take this money, you'll need it more than my pathetic daughters will ever do. They'll spend it on useless objects to fulfill their needless requests. You can have this, consider it a gift from Jaques Schnee himself.
Y/N couldn't find the words he needed, instead he nodded to agree with the rich man. Once Jaques left, I approached Y/N myself. This is the perfect opportunity. I waved to him softly, he gasped and dropped the wad of bills, hugging me as if I were his mother.
Y/N: Oh, Annemarie... Thank god you're here. I'm so confused... I don't know what to do, one moment I'm the centre of attention and another I'm not?! I-I just don't understand this.
He cried out, breaking down in tears. I almost cried for him then and there. But I knew what had to be done.
Me: Y/N L/N...
Y/N: Who's that?
Me: That's your real name... Y/N L/N on your 13th birthday you were betrayed by a scumbag named Blau Blazeblu. You made a deal with the Queen of Grimm Salem, and 5 years later you blew up the academy called Beacon.
I said, reading from a nonexistent piece of paper, as if it were from my own hand. Y/N tilted his head.
Y/N: I don't know who that is...
I froze... shouldn't it have worked?
Me: B-but it is! Y/N's your real name...
I said, trying as hard as I could not to sound conspicuous.
Y/N only shook his head.
Y/N: Annemarie... I'm Blau Blazblu... Why did you just call me a scumbag?
He asked, hurtfully... Betrayal and tears were all I could see in his eyes... not the eyes of a cold, calculative genius I had once known. The eyes I had loved from back at Beacon.
Me: N-no... Please listen to me!
I said desperately. Y/N just shook his head even more in disbelief... backing away from me like I was a volatile parasite he's supposed to fear and avoid.
Y/N: I'm sorry Annemarie. I just remembered have to bring drinks to Mr. Schnee.
He said, angrily, beginning to stride away as fast as he could. As well as picking ip the money Mr. Schnee had given to him.
Me: Lilith Heathers! Just please! Remember that name! Remember me! I saved you!
I pleaded with him, even running up to him and kissing him on the lips. Only to receive a gentle but cold shove away. Y/N glared into my eyes only continued to walk away, as I just lost it and broke down on the floor crying. I then felt a gentle touch on my shoulder, and I looked up to see a young white-haired boy, staring with the eyes of a gentleman down at me.
???: Why hello there m'lady. I see you're going through a bit of a painful feeling...
Blau's POV
I began to return to the kitchen, I cannot believe that Annemarie had just called me a scumbag... The whole world's against me I feel, my only purpose is here...
Wait a minute, what was that name she had told me... Lilith Heathers... I've heard that name beforehand.
Lilith Heathers
Huntress... Huntsmen...
Blau Blazblu
Deal with Salem
Beacon Academy
Huntsmen...
Parents... Dead... Betrayal...
I could feel a large ache begin to assimilate itself in my head... As I seemingly felt a bump begin to form... it felt like my head was splitting open. Y/N L/N... Y/N L/N... Y/N L/N... the memories of that name... memories associated with that name... repeated over and over and over again without ceasing... All came crashing back to me... I yelled in pain... excruciating pain that I have not felt in a fucking long time...
Y/N's POV
Me: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I screamed... I was not sure that other people had heard... No, Y/N L/N wasn't sure... not me... Fuck that name... Blau Blazblu... 'tis like eating the most disgusting things that could be coughed out from the darkest circles of Hell itself...
I laid against the walls of the hallways, panting effortfully. I panted slower and slower as I regained my morality... The nightmares again returned... But alas they're the only things that keep me from ending this.
I smirked... such a smirk that could and would send chills down even the coldest of hallways down the Schnee mansion. I remember now, The Betrayal, The Fall of Beacon, Operation Keikaku... All of it... I laughed, a small laugh, but an extremely sinister one, Jaques had welcomed me into his domain with motivation and money... now I welcome him to mine... with blood and hellfire.
Me: Checkmate Schnee... I win... Hmmmmm, just as I had planned.
