Author's notes: I apologize for this being such a short chapter. It was my first chapter I have ever posted on this website and I didn't realize exactly how short this chapter was until I read it. Also, I do not claim anything that belongs to RWBY and Rooster Teeth or anyone else's ideas (I hope!). That being said, I hope you guys enjoy.
I am finished with your crap, Weiss! You have disappointed me for the final time! You are just like your sister: a failure! A disappointment! A disgrace to my family! It is your fault that you are no longer the heiress to our company! It's your fault that Klein no longer works here! Whitley is several times more successful than you and your sister ever were! Did you really think that it would be a good idea to leave Atlas without MY consent?! You're nothing but a goddamn disappointment!
I remembered my father's latest (and probably last) message from my scroll. I felt I should be upset, especially considering what happened to Klein, but I thought that as long we both no longer worked for or lived with Jacques Schnee, we were both fine. I should be enjoying the party anyway.
"Uh, hello?" Ruby said, smiling while poking my nose. I giggled.
"Quit it, you dolt!" I said. Ruby. I once considered her to be one of those annoying friends that makes you kind of want to kill yourself just to get away from her…
Once…
"Quit zoning out, "dolt!" Ruby said, mocking me. I laughed.
"You're kind of...cute...when you're immature." I told her.
Ruby continued smiling. "Oh, really? What am I when I'm not immature?" she questioned.
"I'll give it some thought. I'll talk to you when I know what to call you." I smiled.
"You better!" Ruby said, walking away. I don't know what or how to feel about Ruby. A friend? A crush?
How does she feel about me?
Once again, I woke up from my thoughts as Ozpin walked over to me. "Weiss, is everything okay? You seem...pessimistic."
"Huh? Oh, no, Professor Ozpin. I'm fine. Really!" I said, feeling great.
"I'd like to hope so, Weiss. I mean, this is the celebration of Beacon's recovery after the Grimm's assault. We should all be happy during such a fine event. Enjoy yourself, Weiss." Ozpin said, smiling.
"Thank you, Professor." I said to him he smiled and walked away. I truly should be happy. Ozpin isn't dead, Blake's back, Yang has a new hand and...Ruby. She's okay. I mean, considering everything that happened back in Mistral. I'm just so glad she's okay. Maybe I can finally tell her exactly how I feel about her and just hope the feeling is mutual. I'm not even exactly sure how or when I felt like this about her...maybe because it was what happened in Haven. I don't know. Actually, I think I might talk to her about it right now. It was almost midnight and the party was almost over. Figured I might as well as tell her sooner than later. I started my way towards Ruby until, suddenly, alarms were blaring and caught everyone's worried attention. The sound of alarms were followed by Ozpin's voice.
"Everyone, please return to your dorms immediately. White Fang activity has been spotted within the school's vicinity. Plea-" Ozpin's voice was cut off as the already really worried faces at the party got even more worried. Every and all lights inside the school grounds turned red faster than the speed of lightning. Another voice started speaking. He sounded...familiar.
"Hello, Blake." The voice was familiar. The voice belonged to...Adam Taurus. Blake gasped in horror as everyone turned to her. Yang shot up in flames. "I missed you, my love." Adam continued. Everyone continued looking at Blake, but with a little confusion now.
"But now, you and your friends will suffer...suffer because you made the wrong choice, Blake. You left me. We could've ruled Remnant together. You and I. But you left...and now, your friends will die a slow and painful death. And so will you. And then I'll burn this hellhole to the ground. Goodbye, Blake." Adam finished. The alarms continued blaring and the red lights shattered.
Suddenly…
"WEISS! YANG! BLAKE!" Ruby shouted for her team. More than just team RWBY responded though. In fact, just about every team in Beacon responded to the young girl's voice. Everyone looked to see what she was screaming about. We saw an army of armed White Fang members led by Adam, walking towards the school. Everyone gawked in horror and anger. Ren nearly lost his words…
"Oh, shit…"
