“Expect nothing. Only then can you be prepared for anything.”

          ❛     ——— expect nothing ? expect nothing !     ❜ words repeated , savored in mind before she fully can comprehend the entire statement. swing of hips &. pivot of step , she gazed at the captain. snow touched brow arched before eyes twitched in regard to it. what nonsense !  ❛     how can we expect nothing ? we need to plan for something. we can’t prepare for anything if we don’t speculate on what would happen …     ❜ huff slipped betwixt lips , arms swung downward , trembling at her sides. ❛     you can’t solve everything by going in with guns blazing !     ❜ the paper stack dropped on the metal table making a thump echo off of the mess hall’s walls. 

           the stack contained a log of her father’s calls &. whereabouts for the past two months. she thought that they could formulate a plan to catch him in the act of something illegal but apparently cinder wanted to yet again be cryptic in her elegant speeches. oh my stars , she was going to die from her brain overloading dissecting this woman’s phrases. they finally had something ! something on that vile man &. she acted like it was just dust on her shoulder.

❛ can’t help this awful energy. ❜

❝ cinder, you should trust in your crew more. ❞ weiss lounged in the navigator chair. spinning around, she trained her blue pools on the captain. long black tresses hung in cinder’s face, her fingers weaved within them. standing, the snow touched girl walked over to the worried soul and placed her hand onto the screen covering the ship’s course. ❝ if i am not stressing over the job, then you shouldn’t ! i have calculated every possibly scenario and there is nothing that could be catastrophic. ❞ 

smiling at her, she clicked on a button, music filtering through the ancient speakers that had been there since her grandfather cruised the skies. it had taken weiss a while to figure out how the old music system worked but she had always had a gift for figuring out things by tinkering with them. after all, she had been on her own for almost a year before cinder came along. self-sufficient was a necessary trait when she was a runaway. sighing, a soft smile appeared on her face, ❝ — i once found it hard to rely on the crew, especially certain individuals…but now it’s quit easy. ❞ she swayed with the music,  ❝ dance to get out that awful energy. ❞

‘ i’m sorry i dragged you into this. ’ (space crew au!)

           WEISS ROLLED BLUE HUES ABOUT.  dragged her into this ? yeah right ?! ❛     if you remember i’m the one who dragged you into this !     ❜ all those months ago when she had asked cinder to captain her ship ... it was as if that was the starting point of the rest of her life. anything before that moment was black &. white , devoid of color , vivacity. now , they were quite literally on the threshold of death. sweat slicked the grip of her weapon , hands covered in grime. 

          she gazed around the metal shipping crate to only nearly get her face blasted off at the oncoming fire. okay , yes cinder did drag her into this particular stint but ignore those semantics. she still had chosen to tag along. she gave cinder the signal &. rolled over to the next barrier as her hotheaded captain covered her. firing off a few rounds from her vantage point , an agonized cry was her confirmation that she had met her target. bullseye. ❛     don’t apologize for my choices ! we’re going to get through this alive so we can get that big score.     ❜ scarred digits combed through white locks , she breathed in the ammunition’s aroma.

' what was it like, breaking free from your father's influence to do what you feel is right? ' cinder knows she has no right to ask, but she is curious & held a newfound respect for weiss being able to get out of his grasp.

❝ it felt sad but liberating. i… ❞she paused, her thoughts floating on the wind encircling her. ❝ -i feel, as of the current, happy but also empty?  bitter at myself for waiting so long. ❞ she lifted her hand up in front of her face as she tried to catch a tiny leaf drifting in its wanders to the ground. ❝ i feel lost. i am a mixture of everything and nothing at the same time. ❞ weiss had always a sense of purpose in her life, dictated to her by her father. his shadow loomed over her and now she was free to do as she pleased. it was so much all at once.  

❝ i feel empowered to be who i have always wanted to be. ❞ she would never admit that her bones quaked every time she thought about her uncertain future with the necessities of providing shelter and food for herself. her funds would soon dry and then… what? why was she opening up to her…why was she spilling her feelings out? was it because cinder fall would listen better than her own father? oh, what a snag of fate. the tiny leaf fell into her open palm and she enclosed it within a prison of her fingers. ❝ i may be aimless now but i shall achieve my aspirations someday. ❞

❛ it’s been awhile , schnee ... ❜

THE VOICE. — that voice, she had heard it only for brief moments months ago but she knew it. seared into her mind, she would remember it forever. smoky, yet sour, powerful, in itself an enigma. her blue eyes, dark as the waters in the ocean at the dead of night. rage began to spill into her body, breathes even as she struggled to control them. blinking at the shadow figure, she stood rigid as it did not disappear. this was the woman responsible for the destruction of everything dear to her. —her home, their safety, their innocence and most of all, she took a life of one of the kindest, most selfless people she knew. all she saw was red. the murderess was perhaps after the rest of her precious friends and she would not give them up even if it meant her life would be snuffed out. 

❝ is that all you have to say to me ? it’s been a while ? ❞ she spat, the vaporous words out as myrtenaster rose in her grasp. ❝ we are not greeting each other as old friends. you demolished my home, and killed my friend. all because of — ❞ she scoffed. the intentions for villainous figures in fairy tales were all the same. it was foolish to believe in fairy tales but to believe that they reflected true human behavior — that was something viable. ❝ power, revenge, love ? ❞ shaking, her brows bent, darkness veiled over her. thoughts began to jumble together, her composure straining against her anger. ❝ students, practically children had to suffer, had to die for your selfish gains ? ❞ how many more lives would fall by her hand ? would weiss schnee die here today ? swallowing down her fears, she stood. there was no way that she matched pyrrha in any fight but her loyalty still remained true. protect them. protect all of them. or die trying. staring at the nightmare incarnate, weiss prepared her swan song. she’d sing it with all the strength her fractured soul could offer.

‘ call it what you will ; fate, destiny.. ‘ (the space bounty hunter au!)

❝  i think we should just call it what it is, cinder. it is a mess. ❞ she sighed as she glanced at the cargo bay on the ship. the crew below sitting around a card table, unsuspectingly playing cards. laughter drifted through the re-vented air. her blue hues moved to the back of the ship where their precious cargo was. she hunched forward, gripping onto the railing of the balcony. ❝ they’re guns !! ❞ she hissed in a hushed tone, her heart jumped when she heard a loud smack from below. someone had just laid down a winning move as the others groaned. they were still unknowing. ❝ when i wanted you as my captain, i did not sign up to be an arms dealer. ❞ she pointed at the black boxes and then crossed her arms. huffing before changing positions as she walked around the lethal raven haired woman, she ran her fingers through her stark white locks. 

❝ is this the only way we can raise funds for ship repair ? what if it starts an interquad dispute ? we can’t have that blood on our hands. so if this is fate then we should snuff it out. we must ! i don’t need… ❞ pausing, she had to calm down. getting worked up, the others would surely notice. and that was the last thing she wanted. 

clearing her throat, she relaxed her jaw. ❝ —— i will trust you since you haven’t failed your duty to me yet. ❞ she steadied her breathing and smirked. ❝ so what is this fate filled plan of your’s ? ❞ placing a hand on her hip, she said her mantra. stardust to stardust, it will become.
