(Weiss's POV)

I lead (Y/N) to the guest bedroom, but since he has been staying here for awhile, I guess it's really his room now. (Y/N) opened the door.

(Y/N): Thanks again Weiss.

Weiss: You're welcome, again. Good night (Y/N).

(Y/N): Good night Weiss.

He walked into his room and closed the door. I started to make my way to my room. I walked into my room and saw my father in there.

Weiss: Father.

Jacques: Weiss, sit down.

I sat down on my bed. I folded my hands on my lap.

Jacques: Unbelievable. Absolutely Unbelievable.

Father pointed at me and took a step closer.

Jacques: Do you have any idea what you and your friend's stunt cost us?

Weiss: I-

I tried to explain, but father interrupted me.

Jacques: Don't think I'm just talking about money here! Our reputation! Our... our...

Father sighed and he started to rub his head in frustration. I thought about what happened and I came to a decision.

Weiss: I want to leave.

Jacques: I beg your pardon?

Weiss: You heard me. I want to leave and bring (Y/N) with. I'm not going to be staying in Atlas anymore!

Jacques: Young lady, I don't give a damn what you want! This isn't about you. This is about the Schnee name that you and your monster of a friend want to drag through the mud!

I stood up from my bed.

Weiss: I have done nothing but fight to uphold the honor to my family name! The name that you married into!

Father looked mad and slapped me in the face. My head turned from the sudden impact. I put my hand on my cheek and turned my head to look at him.

Jacques: This behavior of yours is incredibly disappointing. You couldn't possibly understand the lengths I've gone to in order to keep this family where it is. You think running off like your sister is going to make the Schnee name stronger? You're wrong. Siding with her only divides us.

Weiss: I'm not siding with anyone! I'm just doing what I think is right, and that doesn't include wasting my or (Y/N)'s time here...

Father started to walk to the door of my room.

Weiss: ...with these clueless people in Atlas. The Schnee family legacy isn't yours to leave. It's mine, and I'll do it as a huntress.

Father stopped and slowly turned to me.

Jacques: You won't be leaving. Your friend on the other hand is.

Weiss: What?

Jacques: I'm going to make sure that he is gone from Atlas! Not only that, but away from Mantle as well. I don't want a dumb monster anywhere near here!

I clenched my hands into fists.

Weiss: Don't you dare touch him!

Jacques: What are you going to do? You will not be allowed to leave the manor grounds unless I say so. You will stay here, out of sight, until you and I come to an agreement in the future.

Weiss: What?! You can't do that?!

Jacques: Yes, I can. The staff here will make sure that you don't leave.

Weiss: People will notice the heiress of the Schnee dust company missing.

Jacques: Which is why you aren't the heiress anymore.

I took a step back, stunned.

Weiss: Excuse me?!

Jacques: With everything that has happened to you, clearly the trauma is getting to much for you. So you better be grateful that I'm revoking your claim to the company and giving it to your brother, Whitley.

I took a few deep breaths, trying to process all this information. Father opened my door and I saw Whitley outside, clearly eavesdropping on me and father's conversation. Father walked out and closed my door.

Weiss: That... bastard.

I walked to my bed and collapsed onto it and started to cry. First I'm not heiress, now (Y/N) is going to leave. I looked up and clenched my fists harder.

Weiss: I'm not going to sit around and do nothing.

I got out my rapier and made a glyph on the ground, practicing my summoning.

(Time skip) (Readers POV)

I woke up kinda early. I got up and exited my room. I walked down the hall and heard two voices. It sounds like Ironwood and Weiss's father. I noticed a door slightly open. Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to eavesdrop on their conversation.

(Y/N): Mom and dad told me that eavesdropping is rude, but I can't just help myself.

I whispered to myself so they don't hear me.

Ironwood: Why did you call me here this early Jacques?

Jacques: It's about the monster in my house.

Ironwood: Please tell me you aren't talking about (Y/N).

Jacques: That's exactly who I am talking about!

Ironwood: What about (Y/N) do you want to talk about?

Jacques: I want him out.

Ironwood: This is your house. Can't you do that yourself?

Jacques: Oh no, I don't want him out of my house, I want him out of Atlas!

Ironwood: Are you sure that's a good idea?

Jacques: I will be doing everyone in Atlas a favor getting rid of him!

Ironwood: I can't do that.

Jacques: What?! You've done it once before! You can do it again!

What does he mean by he's done it once before? I decided that I heard enough and walked away.

(Y/N): Now more people think I'm a monster.

I walked to Weiss's room and knocked on the door. I heard some movement and the door opened. Weiss looked at me.

Weiss: Good morning (Y/N).

(Y/N): Morning Weiss.

Weiss: You seem a little down. Is something wrong?

(Y/N): Your father wants me gone.

Weiss: I know. I wish I could do something about it.

(Y/N): Can I come in?

Weiss: Sure.

I walked into Weiss's room and she closed the door. I sat down on her bed and she sat down next to me.

Weiss: Is there something you want to talk about?

(Y/N): I'm tired of being here. Our friends are probably fighting right now and here we are just sitting around and doing nothing.

Weiss: I feel the same, but my father won't let me leave.

(Y/N): Why?

Weiss: He wants me to be more like him, but I refuse to let that happen. He took away my right as heiress and gave it to my brother.

I stood up from Weiss's bed.

Weiss: (Y/N)?

(Y/N): Let's leave then.

Weiss: We can't.

(Y/N): Really? We clearly have nothing more to lose.

Weiss: I guess you're right. I have an idea. I'll ask Klein to help us. I know Klein while help us. We are going to be leaving tonight.

I smiled and looked at Weiss.

(Y/N): Sounds like a plan.

Weiss stood up and we walked out of her room.

Weiss: Stay away from my father. Klein while come get you when everything is ready.

(Y/N): Got it.
