"Blake!" I exclaim through her bedroom door
"What!" I hear her call back
"Do you know where my brush is?" I hear her shuffle around inside before opening the door placing her hands on her hips
"You told me you packed ages ago" I roll my eyes
"I did"
"Then you should know where it is" she tells me looking all smug
"Do you know where it is or what?"
"No, I have mine why would I take yours" I groan as I head back down the stairs

"Mum!" I call out
"I'm in the kitchen honey" I walk in seeing my mum behind the counter "what is it honey?" She asks looking up briefly
"Do you know where my brush is?" I ask
"Your hairbrush?" She clarifies and I nod but I realise she's not looking so she won't see that
"Yep"
"No honey, have you asked your sister?" she suggests
"I have"
"I don't know then honey" she hums "wait didn't you pack a while ago?"
"Well most of it" she looks up mildly amused
"You'd forget your head if it wasn't attached to your body"
"Haha" I sarcastically comment before I head to dads study I knock on and only enter when I hear him say come in "hi dad"
"Darling what can I do for you?" He asks moving the paperwork to the side
"Have you seen my hairbrush?" I ask
"Can't say I have, say, didn't you pack it?" I roll my eyes and walk out hearing him chuckle from inside the room, argh.

I trudge up the stairs again to re-rummage through all of my bags and eventually I find the brush
"Oops"
"So you found it then? In your bag?"
"Shut up Blake" i throw a pillow at her, we both start laughing but it dies down quickly
"It's strange isn't it?" She asks, i hum in question "I mean we're leaving in a week, just seems a little unreal" I can hear the guilt in her voice, she can hide it from everyone else but I'm her twin, she'll never be able to hide it from me. I get up and make my way carefully over the several bags which are scattered over the floor and embrace my sister who quickly hugs me back
"They don't blame you, no one does. You need to speak to them, clear the air and most importantly forgive yourself"

Flashback

"Adam says big companies like the Schnee dust companies need to pay, they've been torturing us for far too long" Blake paces in front of me as she informs me of her 'meeting' with one Adam Taurus "you know I think he should become the leader of the White Fang" I shake my head, she's far gone

Flashback 2

I watch from afar as my sister converses with her partner and psychopathic boyfriend, I've never liked him, he's spiteful and as I said pretty much a psycho. But there's something different, she flinches when he touches her, she bows her head as if she's scared to speak.

I head over feeling a little fearful; given my serious dislike for the older boy
"Taurus" and he knows I hate him and it simply amuses him
"Silver" I glare at the use of my first name
"I'm borrowing my sister" I tell him
"We were in the middle of a conversation" he eyes me
"Well sucks to be you" stupid foot in mouth disease, he could kill you. Regardless I pull my sister away from the psycho "is he hurting you?"
"What?" She asks surprised
"Don't play dumb"
"Of course not" she snaps
"I don't even recognise you anymore, I stuck around in this corrupt organisation for you I wanted to leave a year ago." I finally tell her
"it wasn't just for me it was also for your boyfriend if you've got a problem with this organisation talk to him you coward!" she snaps and I step back, she's right I'm a hypocrite and a coward I'm too scared to leave and I'm too scared to break up with him
"I'm done" I walk away as tears fall down my face.

I look up feeling determined I have to speak to Crimson.

Flashback 3

I hear the front door slam shut and a loud thump.
I walk down the stairs to see my twin crying against the door
"Blake?" She turns looking distraught
"I'm sorry" she repeats, I run down and embrace her
"What happened?" I ask cautiously
"He killed someone" my eyes widen, don't get me wrong I've always thought the guy was a psycho but there's never been clear evidence "I need to get out of here, I want to make a difference but that's not working"
"I'm applying to Beacon to become a huntress" Blake looks up wiping her eyes "come with me"
She eyes the door but then turns and nods.

Present day

All our parents know on the matter is things became too violent for Blake to continue in the White Fang like me but they don't know Adam hurt her and they don't know he's killing people, but I guarantee people will see him for who he really is one day, no one can hide that there whole lives, and no one will follow him once they know.

Timeskip

I lay in bed, only one week to go and we'll be at Beacon.
