Yang watched as Torchwick grabbed Ruby and pressed a gun against her head. Yang began to sprint forward. "Any closer and her head comes off!" Roman warned. Yang skidded to a stop. "You can't hurt her!" Yang told him.
"I don't see why not!"
"If you do..."
"If I do, what?"
"I'll castrate and kill you."
"Not going to happen."
"Oh trust me..."
"You're gonna have a fun time being tortured on a daily basis. Aren't ya, kiddo?"
"Please! Help me!" Ruby cried out, struggling to break free.
Roman grabbed her throat and punched her in the stomach. Ruby was now struggling to breathe. Yang began to come forward again, he pressed the gun against Ruby's head again. Yang stepped back and watched as The White Fang threw her sister on to an airship. "Say goodbye! You'll die before you see her again." Torchwick told Ruby, who was now sobbing on the floor.
'How did I get into this situation?' She asked herself.
Earlier…..
RWBY approached the Schnee headquarters, where the White Fang we're currently keeping hostages. They walked in and got on the elevator. "This is not the smartest idea you've ever had, Ruby." Weiss pointed out.
"Don't worry. I saw this in a movie once."
"Nothing good has ever come from that sentence." Blake said.
They began to near their stop, so Ruby, Weiss and Yang pressed up against the walls, while Blake unsheathed Gambol Shroud. The door opened. Blake ran out and the White Fang soldiers began to open fire. Blake deflected their bullets and stabbed one. She saw another about to shoot her in the back in the glint of her sword. He fired, she turned around and cut his bullet in half, killing the two people behind her.
Blake sheathed her sword. "Okay." She said. "People are dead!" The others stepped out of the elevator. Ruby walked up to the desk in the back of the room. Torchwick was sitting there, terrified at what he just saw. "Release the hostages." Ruby told him.
None of them saw Torchwick reach for his .44 Magnum. He raised his weapon to Ruby's head. Yang grabbed his hand and twisted it, but didn't stop the gun from going off. The bullet entered Ruby's arm and she cried out in pain and fell to the floor. Yang clocked Torchwick in the face, knocking him out.
Yang ran over to Ruby and kneeled down beside her. "You okay?" She asked.
"If I was okay, I wouldn't be writhing in pain!" Ruby growled. Blake knelt down and pulled a bullet off of Ruby's belt.
"What are you doing?" Weiss asked.
"Gotta get the bullet out." Blake answered. "You're about to learn where the term, 'bite the bullet' comes from."
She held the bullet out to Ruby. "Bite down on this."
"Why?"
"You'll see."
Ruby did as she was told and Blake pulled out a small knife. "This might hurt." She warned. "A lot."
She dug the knife into Ruby's bullet wound and began to pry out the bullet out. As she pulled the bullet out, Ruby bit the .40 cal sniper bullet in half and passed out. "Damn." Weiss said.
"I wonder who she takes after." Blake said, sarcastically.
Yang took off her scarf and wrapped it around Ruby's arm to stop the bleeding. Yang picked up Ruby and slung the small huntress over her shoulder. "Is she gonna be okay?" Yang asked Blake.
"Once we get her back to Beacon and give her proper medical treatment, she should be fine."
"Should?"
"Margin for error."
"Why should there be a margin for error?"
"Y'know, in case she can never properly use that arm again."
"Is that a possibility?"
"Yes."
"What?!"
"I'm partly fucking with you."
"Partly?"
"Is would have been a possibility if bullet, like damaged a nerve."
"Did it?"
"I don't think so."
"You don't think so?"
"She'll be fine! Let's go!"
"What would you have done if you knew she was going to die?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Just curious. For future reference."
"I would have shot her."
"Seriously?"
"Hey, she's gonna die anyway. Why's she gotta suffer?"
"Good point."
"That's fucked up." Ruby said, waking up.
"Extremely." Weiss said.
