Heya guys! Soo... Not a new chapter to LWR, it's actually pretty much the opposite. So, anyone remember when I tried drama? No? Good! Well, lets try again! Only this time, it's gonna be a bit, different... Parts of the story will be in 3rd person, but most of it will be from Weiss' POV

So, why don't you tell me how you ended up here.

"Why do you need to know that, huh? Don't you know already?"

Just trust that everything I do and say has reason. So, tell me why you are here.

"Fine, if you insist..."

Great, first I get blown up by this stupid girl, now I'm her partner.

"So, I'm Ruby!"

"... Weiss."

"So, which way do you think we should-"

"Look, Ruby. I don't know how useful you are in a fight, but just stay out of my way. The quicker we get through this, the better."

"O-oh, well, alright then..."

This person, Ruby, she doesn't look like much. Small, about my size, wields a scythe that appears to turn into a rifle, has short hair with a little red at the tips. I will say, however, that she had these cute, wide, silver coloured puppy eyes when she got excited.

"Weiss, look out!"

And now I have to deal with beowolves. Oh well, this shouldn't be a problem. I take out Myrtenaster and start slashing through these pathetic things easy enough. Being well versed with my blade seemed to impress Ruby, as to be expected. She even took some of the difficulty off by cutting through a few that strayed from the main pack. Eventually, the whole pack had been killed, disappearing moments later.

"That was awesome! We were soo cool taking them all on like that!"

"Hmph. If we couldn't handle a few beowolves, then how could we even call ourselves huntresses?"

"W-well, I guess you're right..."

She looked down, pointing her eyes to the floor. I don't want her to think she can get away with everything, but she does look really sad. I may be cold, but I'm not heartless.

"... We did do a good job though."

She definitely brightened up at that.

"Come on, it's this way."

At least she isn't useless. I might just be able to make her into a proper teammate yet. But that will have to wait until after we finish this test. I've heard this is an unorthodox type of entrance exam held by only Beacon.

Unorthodox is putting it lightly, though. It seems we not only need to compete with the Grimm to survive, but there is a limited number of spaces as well. So we must compete with other hunters and huntresses just to stay alive, let alone be enrolled. And from what I've seen based on the few people we've come across, some have already died.

We're getting close to the end, I can see the pieces we are meant to bring back from here.

"I can see them from here, Weiss!"

Apparently, she can too. Although, I stop her from moving for one.

"Hold on, Ruby."

"What, why?"

"Look, there are others moving for one already. With as competitive as it is, they may be willing to try attacking us, to make their own chances better."

"Oh, I get it! Wait, is that... Yang!"

The dolt yells and jumps out of the tree we were in. What could she possibly be thinking? Does she even think at all?

But, she said a name. Yang, I think. Does she know this person? The woman in question, a tall blonde who was annoyingly top heavy (Not that I was in any way envious!), was walking with a black-haired girl with a bow on her head. The blonde stopped and looked towards Ruby as she heard her name being called

"Sis! Man, it's good to see you! I was scared somethin had happened to you! But, you're safe, and I found you. Oh, this is Blake by the way! She's my partner, kinda shy."

Blake just nodded her head at the younger. She has this air of mystery around her, but, for some reason, she isn't completely off-putting. She does have deep, amber eyes that went well with her long, dark hair that fell neatly in her face. But, that's pointless details at the moment.

"Hi Blake, I'm Ruby! This is Weiss, my partner."

Yang came to greet me, trying to crush my hand. She did whisper to me "Nice to meet ya, but if you do anything to hurt Ruby, I will hurt you. Badly." So I don't think I want to spend much time near her, at all.

"Well, come on, Ruby! Grab your guys' piece and lets get outta here!"

My 'partner' was about to do just that, but we heard a noise coming from behind us. There was nothing there for a moment, that is, until we saw the boy being chased by a Deathstalker coming over the horizon.

"Uh, Weiss? is that a..."

"Yes, Ruby, that is a person being chased by a Deathstalker."

"Well we can't just leave them! We have to help!"

"We don't have to do anything. If they really deserve to be here, they'll either find a way to kill it, or escape it."

"But Weiss! Urgh... Yang come on! We can't just let him die!"

"I don't know, Rubes. Like Weiss said, if they deserve to be here, they can get out of their situation. And this really is competitive."

"Fine, if you guys wont help me, I'll do it myself!"

This unbelievable idiot actually decided to try taking on a Deathstalker on her own! I don't know whether she's trying to manipulate her sister and I, or she's just stupid. But, right on cue, the blonde chased after her.

Although I can't say much, I chased after her as well. I couldn't let my partner die this early, I don't want to be overburdened and without help.

Taking the beast down was no easy task, but we managed. Well, we did get some help from the famous Pyrrah Nikos (Apparently the partner to this dumb kid being chased, who's name is apparently Jaune.), Another boy named Ren and a girl even weirder than Ruby, named Nora.

"Alright, everyone's safe, now can we get out of here,Ruby?"

"Yep!"

I swear, that dunce will be the death of me, one day. But, I assume until then, she might be a little enjoyable.

However, something isn't sitting right with me. Wait, there's something behind that far pillar. But it, looks like, a gun barrel! NO!

"Ruby!"

Even if her semblance may have allowed her to move fast enough, I can't stop myself. I'm throwing myself onto her, and then, nothing. Time had slowed, I feel nothing but an excruciating pain in my body. It's funny, somehow I wasn't expecting to die by taking a bullet for someone else. My vision is getting blurry, then black. I hear voices, but can't place them to a person. And somehow, even though I'm probably about to die, I can't get the image of that mysterious girl out of my head.

"Weiss? Weiss!"

"What's going on, Weiss?"

"We have to get her back to Beacon!"

"Weiss! Hold on, Weiss!"

"Weiiissss!"

"Ugh, argh, where, am I? God, my everything, hurts. What the hell?"

Weiss Schnee. That is odd, you had a life expectancy of 49 more years. However, you appear to me, 17 years old. I know my understanding of human time is correct, so why are you here?

"W-what? Where am I? W-what's going on? Show yourself!"

Ruby stepped out from behind Weiss. The heiress could only be shocked, and it showed on her face.

"R-Ruby? What is this?"

I am not Ruby Rose. This is just a form you are familiar with, so it is the one I shall take. I am an entity outside of your understanding. Trying to comprehend my existence is impossible for you, so to you, I am Ruby Rose.

"What? Just what is this place?"

This is the plane of existence known as purgatory, Weiss Schnee. It exists outside of time and space.

"D-does that mean, that I'm..."

You are deceased, Weiss Schnee. 49 years early.

Weiss had to fight back the tears at this point. It was made easier to fight them, however, since her curiosity for her situation was needed answers!

You are most likely quite confused, or troubled. Talking may help you alleviate it.

So, why don't you tell me how you ended up here...

Well... Weiss is dead. Will she stay that way? I shan't spoil it! (Though it should be obvious) I decided to retry drama, and this is what I came up with. If this isn't dark enough, don't worry! It gets worse as we go! Come jump down the rabbit hole, it's fun down here! And if you like going partially mad, please follow/fav and drop a review, and I will see you all in the next installment. Byee!
