RWBY – The madness of Lappland

Denial of love



Pov 3 person

On the tiled floor lies a cracked mask in the shape of a wolf's skull. The inner part of it is covered with a  blood, which extends from the mask across the white floor to a pair of pale naked feet. The owner of these feet is Lappland who is just now leaning over the basin as an abnormally large amount of blood pours from her nose. The entire lower part of Lappland face is filthy with blood which drips down to the bandages on her chest. 

Raising her gaze, Lappland looks at her reflection in the mirror as if she sees someone in it besides herself. At this point, Lappland is in the locker room for the cage "players "and she was about to prepare to rejoin to her group when her mask was removed, it was revealed that she had suffered a severe nosebleed. 

Lappland's eyes appear to be in a non-verbal conversation with someone when they do not leave their reflection in the mirror. In the meantime, she tries to stop the bleeding. 

" Little Wolf ! "

Shouts a female voice from behind the door as it opens and a woman in a suit with blue eyes and hair enters the room. Her distinctive feature is a pair of fish scales on her neck. She is also visibly limping on her left leg. 

Although Lappland has heard the woman a long time ago, she does not react and continues to try to stop the bleeding. 

" Lappy is something wrong?" 

Asks the woman noticing Lappland's condition after which she quickly runs over to her. 

"  Answer me" 

Says the woman gently patting Lappland on the face. Feeling the touch Lappland's head turns to face the woman and her pupils regain focus. 

" Auntie?" 

Asks Lappland unsure if is the person in front of her real  . 

"Show it to me "

Says the woman seriously catching Lappland's chin and examining her nose closely. 

" Something is inside because of this the nose does not stop bleeding ". 

" Come on sit down I will look at your nose ". 

Says the woman helping Lappland sit down on one of the benches in the changing room. 

" How long have you been bleeding?" 

Asks the woman taking one of the first aid kits mounted on the wall. 

" Since the end of the fight" 

Lappland says as her Aunt take out tweezers and a cotton swab then puts the tweezers up the her nose . At that time Lappland calmly looks at the ceiling so that her aunt can have better access to her nose. 

" hmm? "

Mumbles the woman pulling a rather large black crystal the size of a fingernail out of Lappland's nose placing it on the bench next to her. After pulling the object from Lappland's nose even more blood flies but this is stopped by a cotton swab inserted into Lappland's nose. 

" It's taken care of for now just take this should help the blood clot faster and don't drink alcochol right now  ". 

Says the woman handing Lappland a tablet which she picks up and swallows without sipping. 

" Lappland aren't they some kind of strange drugs? " 

Asks the woman looking at the black bloody crystal lying on the bench. 

" I am clean from rehab I have not taken anything ". 

Lappland says. 

" That's good besides are you have a headache ?" 

"A nosebleed like that is not from an ordinary injury ". 

The woman asks. 

"It is normal to bleed after you  get hit ". 

Says Lappland without answering further she gets up from the bench and sticks a cotton swab deeper inside her nose then walks over to the locker. 

"It's not normal not for you to bleed that much even after a hit especially with that thing in your nose." 

Says the woman picking up the crystal and examining it under the light. 

" Is it important auntie?" 

Asks Lappland unwinding the rest of the bandages from her body revealing her naked body covered in scars . The woman unconcerned about Lappland nakedness start watching Lappland body looking at the scars on her body  then she sighs sadly and look away. 

"I may not be your legal guardian, but I am worried about you, a year ago you disappeared without telling us where you were during that time? "

" I tried to contact you but you were lost like a stone in the water when people started saying you were dead I thought my heart would break " 

"When now after a year I heard you were in my club I quickly came here". 

A woman said. 

" Private business I'm an adult now so I can go where I want and when I want for how long I want ". 

Hearing Lappland's words the woman sighs. And pulls out a scroll. 

" You were seventeen at the time Lappland". 

"Anyway, I'm just worried about you".

"Whatever happened is not important now you need to see a doctor you may have a fractured skull or concussion although I doubt it knowing you however you need to be checked . "

Says the woman writing something on a scroll.

" Don't worry about it it's nothing serious and Blake get me a doctor for a check up ". 

Lappland says however at the mention of Blake's name the woman's face creases. 

" Are you still seeing that girl?"

The woman says. 

" What is wrong with Blake? . "

Lappland says. 

" I am not stupid Lappland both me and Kali know what the relationship between you two was ". 

" I've had enough Lappland I'm not stupid and I won't pretend anymore people don't just disappear like that much less people like you involved in the highest ranks of white fang! " 

" Even more so after you magically come back then Blake decides to run away from home when the white fang people start looking for something in a panic ! " 

Says the visibly angry woman. 

" After you disappeared I argued with Kali about what had been going on between Blake and you over the years but to Kali it's a romantic drama about a young girl but to me it's awful it's because of her you stayed with that bunch of terrorists !" 

" I knew that naive girl would make trouble for you when she knew you couldn't say no to her ! " 

" And this girl dared to still hide it from us your relationship as if we were blind and all this despite what was going on between you two ! "

The woman continues as Lappland simply listens and slowly starts to change her clothes . 

" So you knew?" 

Asks an unsurprised Lappland. 

" Yes People may not have noticed it but you will not hide it from Kali or me  "

The woman says. 

" Is that why you looked at Blak like that on her birthday ?" 

Asks Lappland again pausing to put on her bra. With her bare upper body covered only by her long hair Lappland turns towards her aunt . 

" Aunt Kali, Mr Ghiara and you auntie are the people who accepted me into their home and Blake is the person who accepted me as her friend ".

" However, I will not spare anyone who tries to separate me from my Blake."

Lappland says in a low tone when her eyes meet her aunt's eyes and it makes a woman shudder but still there is the same unchanged determination in her blue eyes . 

" Little Lappy what you feel for Blak is not love this is far from it ". 

"You don't know how to love so you do things that for you are connected to that emotion which makes it a adoration that crosses over into opsession". 

"With Blake it's the same she doesn't love you she just feels responsible for you she.... "

The woman is about to continue but she is pushed to the ground and Lappland sits on her stomach placing her clenched hands on her throat  . Trying to catch breath the woman continues to look Lappland in the eyes without fear but with compassion even as the skin of her neck turns purple and her whole face become red from lack of air. Instead of fighting, she places her free hands on Lappland's wrists gently holding them as if she comforts her. 

Lappland, on the other hand, stares at the woman with bloodshot eyes and clenched teeth, but even so, there is no desire to kill in her eyes because with her strength she could just crush the woman's neck. Rather, there is pure anger in her eyes . Seeing tears streaming from her aunt's eyes Lappland lets her go and gets up from the ground returning to her locker to finish dressing herself. 

" You are not going to tell me what love is when you yourself have never loved anyone

 Lappland says in a flat tone and then corrects her hair before walking out of the locker room dressed. Seeing that Lappland has left the woman with shaky legs gets up from the ground supporting herself on a bench. Taking a few breaths while massaging her neck the woman reaches into the pocket of her trousers then pulls out an inchalator then applies it to her mouth inching the medicine. 

" She holds on to Blake even if it is like a razor for her hands she does it to not break, however it hurts her even more "

" Lappland you stupid girl if something happens to you how am I supposed to look your mother in the eye " 

" Tell me Luna what am I supposed to do with this broken and lonely child of yours  ".  

Says Woman, slowly Getting up from the ground and shakily following Lappland out of the locker room leaving inside only a bloody broken wolf skull and a black crystal dripping with fresh blood .
