Weiss's POV:
After (Y/N) came and and asked Ms. O' Malley to follow him about a plan, I saw someone come in after him with a blanket around her shoulders when I realized it was Winter. "WINTER!" I yelled while running at her. Within arms reach we grabbed each other and hugged it out for a while. Grace and (Y/N) whispering about something but it had nothing to do with us seeing how they're leaving us alone quietly. Grace closed the doors as silently as she could before walking away, Winter looked at me with a concerned expression. "Why were you laughing with that pirate!?" I looked at her and straightened my battle dress out. "Uumm I was aaa...Talking about something that happened on a mission with my team some time ago." I felt a little nervous seeing her giving me that authoritative look at me. "She was telling me some funny stories when she was a few years older than me while serving on a different ship at the time so I thought it would be fair to share one of my embarrassing moments to her." I said looking away. Winter sighed before taking a seat where I was, so I took Grace's seat in return across from her. 'If you don't mind me asking Winter umm...why do you look like you just swam in the ocean?" She looked at the door expecting to see someone watching us before turning around looking at me. "Ozpin and I sent out from your camp to find you. Qrow-" "Qrow!? Ruby's drunk uncle Qrow?" She gave me a stern look before resuming. "Yes him-he transformed into a crow to search ahead of us to look for this ship-" "Wait-wait-wait he turned into an actual crow-like the bird?" She got a little irritated at my interruptions before continuing. "Yes now will you let me finish?" "Sorry." She calmed down a bit before accepting my apology and continued. "He went ahead of us since I split up from the soldiers that we assigned to me to search for you. He found this ship a mere ten minutes-maybe more-before that man sailed into this storm. We opened the doors to allow Qrow to get inside when...(Y/N)-if that truly is him-slammed the side of the bullhead which caused me to fall out over the ship. I grabbed the mast but the pilot flew away before they could get me back on. One of his crew members got me down...I still don't know how he made that jump." I had a shocked expression from what she told me. "OZPIN LEFT YOU!?" He cringed at my screaming but replied, "No the pilot left me, we were running low on fuel when we left. Ozpin was trying to get him to stay to get me back on board. Speaking of which: why haven't you tried to escape let alone contact me?" "Well I-uhh-I kinda left my scroll in my tent when I was watching over Mr. Harlow that night." Winter pinched the bridge of her nose before letting out...a chuckle? "That's reasonable enough I guess." I looked at her in the eyes after she said that and to laugh that her to do the same. After having a moment between ourselves a knock came from the doors. Getting up I went over and checked who it was to see (Y/N) looking down at me asking, "Weiss, I have something to ask of you and your sister." I didn't want to be rude so I let him in catching Winter's attention.
Ozpin's POV:
While Ruby was talking with Scarlet, Jaune, Ren, Neptune, and Pyrrha were trying to come up with a plan to get Weiss back. Nora and Yang were arm wrestling over at the other table next to mine while I was thinking about what the pilot said. Qrow went off to attend to other business somewhere here in Mistral while we deal with this for now. We have to go back now or we'll all be swimming to the bottom of the ocean Headmaster. I have orders to find the ship-NOT to engage it. I'll let the General know what happened and you'll have to find another way to get on board without taking such a heavy risk. Winter never gave that order, even before she arrived she never gave such an order and neither did James. I felt my pocket buzzed from my scroll. Pulling it out and opened the conversation I was having between James and I. His message confirmed my suspicions, he never gave any orders about finding any ship. I put the pilot under Lieutenant Schnee's command. So who else is spying on our progress? I kept asking myself. I looked at my scroll once more then sent James a new message. Keep an eye out for Jacques Schnee for me will you? I believe he's using us to get revenge at the White Fang. Agreeing to do so I put my scroll away and called for everyone's attention. "Yang, Nora would you mind joining us over here?" The two let each other's hands go and walked over t the table where majority of them were sitting. "Blake and Sun will be returning tomorrow so we'll be spending the night here in town. I would like for you to go to your rooms and stay there for the night. No wandering off." I handed them the keys to their rooms and they started to get up and leave as the sun started to set. "Uumm Headmaster?" "Yes Ms. Rose?" "What's our plan to get Weiss? I mean we can't just leave her with that pirate." I took a sip of coffee before looking at her. "We'll get her back, but we need to find her mother first." Ruby agreed to what I said and left to head to her room. I walked out the door and looked down the main road out to sea wondering why that pirate took Weiss. What did she tell Mr. Harlow that would get her kidnapped? As I stared in that direction, I didn't see Blake and Sun come up behind me about to get my attention. "Headmaster?" I turned around to see Blake and Sun looking at me curiously. "You're back. Mind filling me in on what you found?" They inside with me in tow to a table near the back by the bar. "Willow Schnee was kidnapped under orders by Sianna Kahn, current leader of the White Fang. We don't know how she knew where Willow was or where she was going, but what we do know is that she doesn't want just Willow. She wants all of the Schnees." I looked at Blake then Sun who nodded in agreement before I told them their room numbers. After they left I got back up and went outside where I was before and drank my coffee asking myself, What do you know captain? Why would the Schnees be so important to you? The moon started to rise as I kept these question replaying through my head.
Weiss's POV:
After letting him in, (Y/N) took a seat at the end of the table between Winter and me the storm started to dissipate before he started to talk to us. "Weiss, uuhh-what's your name miss?" Winter looked at me for approval to which I nodded yes. "It's Winter." "Thank you. Weiss, Winter I was talked to some of my officers on how to get your mother back but there's one problem we face." Winter and I looked at him after getting our attention. "What?" We asked at the same time. "To get our shore party there without an all out fight. Miss Victoria came up with the idea to have the both of you tied up and brought to Menagerie to get the White Fang's attention." Winter automatically answered in a loud tone, "WHAT!? ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL US!? I TOLD YOU WEISS WE SHOU-" I loved my sister dearly but I had to yell at her for once. "WILL YOU KEEP QUIET SO WE CAN HEAR HIM OUT FIRST!?" Winter didn't move, she looked at me shocked at my outburst before settling down and listen once more. "As I was saying, Victoria being a faunus, she'll fit in. The plan was to bring you two to the White Fang so they would be distracted and let their guard down for us to attack and subdue their base. According to Mr. Harlow, some woman by the name of Kahn put out a price on all your heads." I quickly interrupted and asked, "A price on our heads!? Why would she want Winter and I!?" Winter showed the same signs of concerned but (Y/N) quickly answered, "Not just yours and Winter's, your monstrous father too. From what we put together, this Kahn woman wants to get rid of all of you at once." Winter and I looked at each other expecting one another to say something but to my surprise she looked at him and asked, "You want us to go as prisoners so you can get your men on land to attack their base?" "Yes." Looking at Winter she asked me, "Weiss I know I haven't been the best sister but if we do this and he pulls it off, we can get mother back. I won't ask you to ris-" I couldn't let her finish, "That's suicide!" Winter looked down hoping I was gonna say yes well she's in for a shock. "You're not going alone, whether you would've asked me or not, I'm not letting you go by yourself. She our mother, not just yours." I looked over to (Y/N) and asked, "Can you do it? Can you successfully do this?" He looked at me while standing up. "I take that base no matter what happens to us, We'll protect you two with our lives, and I'll make damn sure the woman who took your mother knows what'll happen if she dares fuck you three again." After that he quickly left probably getting the plan out to his officers he mentioned earlier telling them it's a go. Winter got up and closed the doors for us before sitting back down. "So Weiss, mind telling me why you trust him so much?" Without answer I got up and went to his desk and grabbed the picture and handed it to Winter. "Look how happy she was with him." No response, Winter took it and stared at it. Putting it on the table between us and kept it's face up for us to see. "When did they have this picture made?" "On their second date, when the weather wasn't out to ruin their day." She got up and walked over to the bed I slept on the night before. "Is this clean let alone comfortable?" I got up and stood beside her. "Yeah it's comfortable, but it may be a little dusty. I honestly believe he doesn't sleep on this whatsoever." "Why would you think that?" I looked up at her and answered, "I've never seen him sleep once down here."
Third Person:
As the moon climbed into the night sky, two guards walked through a hallway towards a long hallway with cells lining both sides. They both made their way down carrying a tray of food to a prisoner they had in first cell on the right. "Here you dinner your majesty." one of them mocked. The other stood by him and laughed at his joke and began to walk away after his forcefully put the tray through a large slit in the cell door. Before the jokester turned a way he said, "Our leader wants to talk to you tomorrow, so be respectful or your time here won't be any more pleasant than it already is." After he walked away, Willow grabbed the tray and started to eat what looked decent. Bastards. She thought to herself. Willow looked out the small window that her cell provided to see the pale moon rise into dark sky where she then mentally talk to herself. Will anyone ever find me? Will Jacques even send someone to help? I don't think I can handle this anymore. Being in that cell really diminished what pride she had. She started to look frail from the lack of food they gave her. Her voice became hoarse from the lack of water, and the clothes she wore haven't see a washer for so long that she would rather being in her usual attire over that. Putting the tray down she got up and walked closer to the cell window where she quietly asked, "please...please Oum. don't let me die here, not like this." Soon she went over to her bed-well bench is more like it. Where she went to sleep the best she could given her circumstances.
(Y/N)'s POV:
I told the rest that the plan is a go. Once we get ashore in Menagerie, we'll put it into action. "Captain, may I have a word with ye?" I turned around to see Silver look at me holding a sack of..potatoes maybe? "What can I do for you Silver?" Lifting the sack up towards me he asked, "Mind if ye help a crippled man?" I smirked before taking it out of his hand and followed him to the stairs that led to the galley above. "Always a good man willing to help." "Don't push your luck Silver. You're the only one who ever asks me to help you with your duties on board." He gave a hearty chuckle while slowly climbing the stairs on his one leg and crutch. Getting to the top, I left the sack where he wanted them before taking the door out to the main deck. "Thanks again cap'n." "Pleasure Silver." Smiling I went outside and shut the door behind me before turning to the moon over the open ocean. Hold fast Willow, I'm coming for you. Come hell or high water, I'm coming to get you. I leaned against the railing looking out to sea and asked myself, Wonder what she'll think of me when we meet again?
