A/N This has been a long time coming
Weiss sat back in her chair, it had been a long week. Three Beowulf attacks on the civilian population and it was only Wednesday, something was making the Grimm restless and she was going to find out what. She thought back to the events of the previous year and allowed herself a moment of sadness. It hadn't been her fault, but she was always going to blame herself, as was the rest of team RWBY. If she had realised the intent of her friend then Beacon would still be standing and Ozpin would still be alive.
Pushing the thoughts she got up out of the chair and walked over to what she called 'The Wall Of Crazy'. It was about ten meters wide and four meters tall, there wasn't a millimetre of the actual wall showing, It was covered in pictures and news articles about her old team mates. She used it to track where each of them was and make sure they were all okay. She knew that they didn't care about her any more, But she cared about them. She had never let it show while they were at beacon, While her father was still alive and the company still existed. In truth, she missed them.
The only problem with the wall was Ruby, the team leader was missing. It seems that Yang and Blake were married and happy but Ruby had disappeared about six months ago and their was no word about her. If there wasn't any news by winter, then Weiss was going to go looking for her. Picking up this weeks pile of newspapers, she had one from every city on remnant, and began looking through them. She checked each newspaper three times and on the fifth one she found something unexpected. Ruby had been seen back in vale, about a kilometre from where Weiss lived. The eye witness had been shocked to seen one of the four huntresses left on remnant in vale, and even more shocked to have been asked whether she had seen "a huntress dressed in all white."
Weiss gasped, Ruby was looking for her. This could be good or bad, they hadn't parted on the best of terms. Then the doorbell rang...
Weiss froze, 'it couldn't be, could it?' Her unspoken question was answered as she heard the childish voice call out
"Weiss, I know your in there. You might as well open the door, I'm not leaving without talking to you." Ruby shouted, the voice thawed Weiss and she moved to open the door.
When she did Ruby was stood outside, she looked older, tired even. There was evidence of a fight and she had a scar running from one ear down the side of her neck. This wasn't the Ruby she remembered, this was a more serious girl, the exhaustion was clear to see. She had bags under her eyes and she moved sluggishly and without her usual excitement.
"Weiss, You look terrible." Ruby said giving Weiss a hug, Weiss would have pushed her off if she wasn't so shocked.
"Ruby, What are you doing here" Weiss spoke finally, It seemed as though the other girl couldn't hear her. Ruby was too busy looking past her at the wall.
"Uhh Weiss, how long have you been stalking us?" She said taking a step back from the hug and looking nervous. Weiss was stricken, here was Ruby, the girl she had been so worried about so much over the past few months, who she hadn't talked to for over a year. And she had just seen the Insanity that had befallen Weiss in that time.
