Hello everyone, this will be my first post and I hope you all enjoy. Also is takes place during season 2 at the dance episode.
'What a lame party' Ruby thought to herself as she walked out of the dance. She never really like dances or parties for that matter.
"Stupid lady stilts" she said to herself. All she wanted to do is to show off with Crescent Rose and be normal in this school. But deep down she had one other goal. She wanted to feel something. Something that would make her feel alive. When she killed grim she felt only extremely small traces of this. She could never tell anyone else about this because she thought it would sound like she was a psycho or a freak.
When Ruby was young she was always put down by others who were stronger or smarter. All the other kids bulled her around the clock for being smaller for her age and tease her about how she did weird things. But this would not stop her from trying to live her life the way she did. Yang would try and help, but she just didn't understand why Ruby would do these weird things. The only reason why Ruby would put herself in almost deadly or just plain strange situations, is to feel that feeling she always wanted to. Being the older sister, she tried to help in any way she could, weather it was bullies or anything. One problem she could not help is the psychological complications later in life.
Some of these problems affected the way Ruby thought about and acted with other people. Normally she thought of others as threats or obstacles in the way. She always thought that everyone was out to get her or trying to stop her. These caused major problems when trying to form relationships with others. The only people she trusted were her immediate family. She couldn't place that much trust in Blake or Weiss. Even with Weiss being her partner, she could only place little trust in her. There was also panic attacks she would receive in stressful situations also did not help. These attacks were the worst. She would freeze up and could not think and only act. This would be a major problem in battle, but lucky this almost never happen during one.
As Ruby was walking around in thought she noticed someone running across the roof tops. She stopped as she watched the figure. She noted they were wearing all black. In an instant, this was setting off red flags as she started to follow this person. 'Chasing a criminal instead of dancing? Hell Yeah!' Ruby thought to herself as she started to catch up with this unknown person. The duo was moving across the entire campus until they stopped outside of the commotion building. Ruby stopped a few yards behind the person and waited for her to move. Here she noticed how the person was a female. She took a moment to take a quick look at her surroundings and look back to the person only to find no one there.
"What?" Ruby questioned to no one. She looked around to see if she could find this mysterious person only to fail again. As she turned back to the building she was met with two amber eyes only inches away. Ruby only got one word out, "Shit". The stranger lashed out and pushed her against the small girl and covered her mouth with one hand and holding her against the wall with the other arm. The amber eyes stared straight into two pools of sliver. The larger women held this stare for serval seconds until she spoke.
"Aren't you little far from the dance little one?" the stranger spoke. Ruby was amazed as the strength and power in the voice. She would say how her words were like a honeyed cub. Sweet but strong. "I'm going to remove my hand, are you going to call for help?" Ruby quickly shook her head. The stranger slowly removed her hand as she answered.
Both just stared into each other's eyes until Ruby broke the silence.
"W-who are you?" Ruby barely made out as a whisper.
The puzzling stranger just grinned and responded "Well I'm breaking in to this place, what about you?"
"W-why did you just tell me that!?"
"The better question you should ask is what am I going to do to you know what I am going to do."
"But you just told me!"
"Yeah I did. So what is your reason why I should let you live?" This gambit was muscle memory at this point. She will give up what she was doing at that moment and have who every fell into her trap was forced to do something for her to live. But as always she killed them regardless if they completed their task or not. Cinder's grin grew as she thought about the kill.
After a couple of seconds, she thought of something. "What if I help you get in the building?" Ruby pleaded. She knew that if she didn't try anything she would be dead in the next few moments.
"Hmmm I guess that will have to do." Cinder responded, "also just call me C"
"O-okay, my names Ruby by the way" Ruby was sacred. 'Why the hell am I going along with this shit! What the hell did I just get into!' She thought.
Cinder let a short evil laugh as she told ruby to follow close behind. Cinder slowly made her way to the outer guard and knocked him out and dragged his body in the bushes. Ruby started to feel a panic attack coming. "C, there's a problem." Ruby whispered to the other girl.
"Well it can just wait because you are going in the building and clear it out, Okay?" Cinder responded.
"B-but..." Ruby tried to tell her, but she knew that it will go nowhere. She called her locker to her and took out Crescent Rose. "Let's just make this quick, okay girl?" She told her weapon as she made her way inside.
-Minutes later-
Cinder was sitting outside waiting for the girl to return. 'Ugh, what is taking her so fucking long!' She thought to herself. 'Fuck it, she is probably dead, no way that innocent little girl could knock out or kill that many guards.' Cinder slowly headed inside ready for a fight. Cinder made her way to the door and pushed it open. "What… the… fuck…" Cinder muttered.
Sitting in the middle of the room covered in blood head to toe, Ruby with her scythe dripping with blood. And on top of it was, a huge smile was on Ruby's face covered in blood.
-Minutes Before-
'Shit, shit, shit!' Ruby thought, 'What am I going to do! I can't just go in and somehow knock out all those guards and I cannot kill them of course'. Ruby neared the door she was supposed to enter. She leaned her back to the door and felt the attack coming. It would hit soon. She thought about her options, go in and do whatever she would do and risk the attack happening in the middle of it, or she could wait for the attack to pass. Before she could make up her mind she felt the door open behind her. She fell straight on her ass.
"What the hell!" one the of guards screamed and called over the other guards
Ruby just sat there not knowing what to do or say. The other guards now grouped around Ruby. Then the attack hit. And it was a big one. Ruby on the ground froze up at the sight of the guards around her, unsure what to do or think.
"You are not allowed in this area!" The guard yelled as he pulled out his weapon. Ruby saw how he reached for his gun and without thinking pulled out Crescent Rose and swung. Everyone stopped moving as the guard in front fell to the ground holding his neck. Before anyone could act, Ruby charged the others. It was a blood bath. As Ruby was cutting down the guards she felt something she never felt before. This was the feeling she was trying to achieve for in life. She loved the feeling.
-Present Time-
Cinder couldn't move. She was amazed how a small little girl cut down maybe ten grown men. Before Cinder could say a word Ruby spoke up. "That… was… the best I have felt!" She screamed, "I never felt anything like that before!" Ruby was in bliss… Until she looked around and saw what she had done. She could not speak as her eyes widened.
Cinder stood there looking star struck. She knew exactly what Ruby was talking about. She felt it every time she killed. "You feel it too?" She whispered not excepting Ruby to hear it.
"What are you talking about! I just killed people! Oh god what have I done!" Ruby shrieked.
"You just unleashed your true self." Cinder said knowing full well what Ruby was going through. "Don't worry about those men. They are trash to you."
"But I Killed them!" Ruby said as she slowly stepped away from the bodies and toward Cinder.
"Come here!" Cinder said as she jumped toward Ruby and putting her hands into hers. "That feeling is the same I feel! It is what makes us special, don't you know how rare this is! We can kill for our pleasure! This is a gift!" Cinder tried to tell Ruby as she tried to get away.
"NO! I KILLED PEOPLE THIS ISN'T GOOD WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!" Ruby said as she pushed Cinder away as she fled out of the building. All she wanted to do is wash off the blood and sleep this night away. As she turned and started to run she heard Cinder yell after her.
"You know what you felt! You will embrace your true nature!"
-Later-
Ruby just put on her pajamas as she finished washing all the blood away in the shower and sink. Lucky the rest of her team were still at the dance. The entire time she thought about the killing of the guards. She thought about the feeling she felt. It was amazing. Ruby was torn, the feeling was amazing, but she was killing people. Not grim but real people. She climbed in bed as let the sleep take her as she remembered what 'C' said. 'You will embrace your true nature!' With that thought sleep took her.
And that was the first chapter! I hope you all enjoy and stay tuned for the second Chapter!
