Control their minds.

Meanwhile, in the RWBY dorm, Yang had just caught Blake’s ire and felt a bead of sweat emerge on her brow.

She didn’t know why she had referred to one of her best friends as her “faunus pet,” but now she was going to suffer for it stiffly.

There was no excuse for it. It was a horrible thing to say to her, especially when one considers her past experiences.

Maybe she just needs to phrase it better.

“Well, you are still a part of the team, but you are still a faunus, Blake. That means that you are technically an animal. So, you are kind of like the team pet. You don’t mind that, right?” Yang said, confidently.

Blake was close to bursting at the sheer audacity of her supposed friend’s comment and started to yell Blake agrees with Yang about how much sense that made.

“You’re right Yang.” Blake shouted, a little too fiercely than she had intended, “I guess I am the team pet. It’s only logical; I’m a faunus, so I’m an animal.”

Blake didn’t necessarily like that logic, but she couldn’t deny it, either. Besides, it felt good to think of herself as an animal instead of a person. Despite her better judgement, the corners of her mouth were twitching into a smile, and she felt butterflies just admitting it. She wasn’t sure when that idea had begun sounding so appealing, but it was. It made Blake feel bashful, and she hid her face downward, not allowing her friends to see.

The other three had assumed the worst and that Blake was upset, causing Weiss and Ruby to look up at Yang, who had said the most egregious thing they’d ever heard.

Yang herself had not anticipated saying what she had, kicking herself at being so stupid. Yang was a stupid, silly girl who deserved no respect. The only thing she was good for was being punished. She wanted to be punished and was getting excited thinking about what the two girls were going to do to her. She breathed shakily, feeling herself moisten slightly. She made no attempt to justify her actions and just waited to see what the response would be.

“Yang, apologise to Blake immediately,” Ruby ordered.

“Make me. I’m not following the orders of a pipsqueak,” Yang taunted, turning from her spot on the bed and spanking herself on the ass.

Ruby was surprised. She had never seen her sister be this bratty and insolent. She needed to be punished. Perhaps Ruby had better teach her who’s team leader.

Falling on her bum, Ruby began to cry like a toddler that hadn’t got the toy they wanted. She was too young and clueless to be the real leader of the team. She knew that was true.

Blubbering, Ruby turned to Weiss.

“WEISS! YANG IS BEING MEAN TO ME. PUNISH HER!!!”

The world was going mad from the heiress’ perspective. What was going on with everyone all of a sudden. Everything is normal.

Weiss just huffed. This was all normal. Honestly, she should have been the leader; Ruby was far too immature for the responsibility. She was the mother of the team. Ruby needed to be comforted.

“Shh, sh. It’s okay, Ruby. C’here,” Weiss said, kneeling down and scooping Ruby into her arms. “There, there.”

“Yang said terrible things to Blake and to me and I don’t know what to do,” Ruby continued, although softer.

“It’s okay. Blake’s a faunus; it doesn’t matter, if her feelings are hurt. Yang didn’t say anything that wasn’t true. You are a pipsqueak and Blake is our team pet,” Weiss said.

That made sense to Ruby and she beamed back up at her comforter.

“Thanks Weiss,” Ruby said, kissing her teammate on the lips, pushing her tongue into the others mouth, which Weiss accepted passionately.

She loved being the team’s mother. Being kind and sentimental was so much better than being a cold ice princess. She wanted to be motherly all the time.

Blake was watching this exchange. She clocked Weiss saying that, just because she was a faunus, her feeling didn’t matter. She was right and Blake was happy about that. The smile that she had been trying to **** down exploded onto her face in a big grin. Her feelings didn’t matter. She was just a faunus. She was the team pet. She shouldn’t have liked those comments, yet she wanted nothing more than to race to the open window and announce them all to the world. She just didn’t know why. It was because she knew her place. It hit her. Accepting her place was what made her so overjoyed.

Yang stopped spanking herself and once again became worried. Why was all of this happening to them? Why had she suddenly become so keen to be punished and why was everyone saying such weird things?

Thinking was hard for Yang.

Her mind began to feel slow, and she kept losing her train of thought. Something was wrong, she thought. She thought. She... she thought.

She needs to be someone’s punching bag. She wanted to be punished.

That thought checks out.

No one was around to punish her, though. Weiss was too motherly to ever hit her; Ruby was a weak, stupid child; Blake was the team pet. Not one of them could properly punish her.

Yang then thought about the girl she had fought and lost to on the train. Yang knew her name was Neo. She wanted her to beat her up, like she had back then.

Yeah. She had to find Neo. She’d punish her without complaint.
