Without further ado enjoy the first chapter of In Her Head.
P.S Remember to look at our profile page to see what we look like.
Chapter 1: God Damn It Ben
Amethyst woke up with a yawn the alarm clock blared beside her. It took her a second before she realized that she was the only one in the bed she was sleeping in, sighing to herself she got up and walked out the room. Walking down the steps and towards the living she noticed Ben sitting on the couch still wearing his pajamas while Peridot sat next to him, the two of the playing RWBY: Grimm Eclipse on the console. Turning towards the kitchen Amethyst let out a yell of surprise as cold water was splashed on her face. Loud laughter could be heard as the purple gem parted her now wet hair to glare at Ashe, Jasper and Lapis.
"Looks like someone's a little wet this mornin'." Ashe chuckled as Amethyst glare turned into a grin.
She loved moments like this. Moments where they could just be themselves, without the worry of the diamonds or corrupted gems. Where they can be…normal, or as normal as four gems and half gems living in a two story house could be.
'Speaking of which.' Amethyst thought looking through the room once more. 'Where's Jack and Kate?'
As if her thoughts were answered the bathroom door opened to reveal Jack in nothing but a bathrobe. Sparing a glance towards Jasper Amethyst smirked as she saw a faint blush on her 'sisters' cheek, storing that little scene for some blackmail Amethyst turned back to Jack who had just morphed his clothes on.
"Mornin' Ame, if you're looking for Kate she's in the back…again."
Amethyst sighed before heading out to the back. Lately her girlfriend had been working herself to the bone constantly training and taking missions, while she and the others knew that it was mostly due to her paranoia it still didn't help the fact that it felt like she was avoiding them. Avoiding her.
Reaching the backyard, Amethyst saw Kate in her casual clothes taking practice shots at a tree. Deciding to have some fun Amethyst quietly snuck up on her partner waiting until she was in the process of reloading her gun.
"HEY KATE!" She yelled only to yelp as she narrowly ducked under a bullet sent her way.
"Amethyst! Oh my god are you ok?!" Kate said rushing over to the purple skinned girl, checking for any injuries. "You know not to sneak up on me like that, I could have shattered you."
Amethyst waved her off. "I'm fine, I'm fine." She said standing up. "You can make up for it by coming inside and taking a break."
Kate sighed as she reloaded her weapon. Everyone had been constantly telling her to tone down her training, but she couldn't not with all those monsters out there. With corrupted gems, left behind diamond soldiers and other experiments that constantly plagued Beach City she couldn't afford to rest!
"I told you I need to be ready for when the next attack comes." Kate said turning back to the tree, only for Amethysts hand to grab her face.
Forcefully turning her head to face her, Amethyst glared at the brown haired girl. "You will be ready we all will, but you pushing yourself like this is going to do more harm than good and it's causing you to become detached from your friends!"
Kate looked at Amethyst for a long time, really looked at her. She could see the concern behind the anger, the desperation in her voice…the hurt.
She sighed. "You're really not going to let this go are you?" She said earning a nod from her lover.
"Fine." Kate said earning an elated look from Amethyst.
"Yes!" Amethyst shouted practically dragging Kate into the house. "Guess who's taking a break guys!
This got surprised looks from those present before they all sported grins.
"Well, it's about damn time!" Ashe said as she vaulted over the table to give Kate a slap on the back.
"So what do you guys want to do?" Jack asked from his seat on the couch.
"We should go to the beach." Lapis said.
"How about we hit the arcade!" It was Ashe speaking this time.
"Naw, we should go gem hunting!" Jasper.
"We're trying to keep her away from stuff like that Jasper, how about we watch Camp Pining Hearts?" Peridot.
"I second that." Ben.
"All you can eat buffet!" Amethyst.
At this point Kate was getting annoyed with all the bickering, looking over to the paused game focusing on Rubys character model, she then said something that she would regret later on.
"Jeez I forgot how annoying you guys are, I wish I could just be a voice in her head."
This got all of them to stop and it was Ben who spoke up first.
"That's actually not a bad idea."
"Wait…What!?"
Ashe gained stars in her eyes. "Yeah we should all pair up and go to a different dimension of the RWBYverse!" Ashe yelled already zipping around gathering supplies.
"W-wait a sec guys." Kate said but her words fell on deaf ears as the others continued to pack their things as Ben started writing on a notepad creating portals.
"Since you suggested it Kate I'll make you and Amethyst spirits and have you latch on to Rubys psyche when she's born." The sniper said making the final portal as everyone finished packing. "I'll create backstories for each of us while we're in the portals."
"H-hold on! Who'll protect Beach City?!"
"I'm sure Garnet and the others can handle it." Amethyst said grabbing Kates arm. "Now quit stalling and lets go!" With that she jumped into the portal dragging Kate with her.
"It was supposed to be a joke damn it!"
Sometimes she hate having the powers of an author.
(Remnant.)
Amethyst and Kate tumbled out the portal into a hospital room, their bodies now transparent. Not even a second had passed before the two of them felt a tugging sensation and were hurled through the hospital floors and walls before they were standing in front of the Xiao-Long family. To her credit Kates scream only lasted five minutes.
"This is kinda weird." Amethyst said as she walked up to Qrow before putting her hand through his stomach.
The man in question glanced behind him briefly before turning back to the newborn in his friends arms. Amethyst grinned, so they can sense them but they can't see them oh she was going to have fun with this. The girl was brought out of her musing when Kate tapped her on her shoulder. Looking over she saw a baby Ruby Rose looking at them with wide silver eyes, the girl giggled and waved at them her eyes glowing for the briefest moments.
"What is she waving at mom?" A young Yang Xiao Long inquired looking at her baby sister.
"I don't know Yang." Summer said as Ruby slowly fell asleep in her hands.
Qrow shivered. "Is it me or is it cold in here?"
"It's just you ya dusty old crow." Tai replied earning a glare from said crow.
Summer and Yang laughed as the two got into one of their scuffles as Amethyst watched in amusement.
"I think I'm gonna like it here."
"Speak for yourself." Kate scoffed. "Us being here was supposed to be a joke, a fucking joke!"
Amethyst waved her off furling her girlfriends rage. "Oh calm down don't act like you haven't actually thought about comin' here, you love this universe if the worlds you and the others have created are any indication. If we do this right we could even change the ending of Volume three….well if Ben didn't make any drastic changes to this version of the world anyway."
Kate didn't have a response for that, it was true the team had made worlds only connecting to the RWBYverse and she had grown to care for the characters.. Looking over at the family she saw Ruby awake once again looking at her through half lidded eyes waving at her.
She smiled and waved back.
'Maybe things won't be so bad here after all.'
"Love that wolf tail by the way."
...God damn it Ben.
(15 Years Later)
Ruby woke up from her dream, the same type of dream with the same two people she had been having from one month straight. Ever since she had seen Weiss with….him.
"God morning Ruby."
'Think of the devil and she shall appear.' Ruby thought as her girlfriend of one month gave her a peck on the cheek.
"I'm going out, we still on for our anniversary tonight?"
"Yeah you bet! But where are you going?" Ruby asked, subconsciously knowing the answer.
"I'm just going to the library." Weiss said leaving the room.
Ruby looked at the door clenching her fists. Did she really think she was that stupid? That naïve? What was she thinking, of course she did, after all how could Weiss Schnee be anything but perfect in everything she did. Even if that thing involved cheating on her with him.
It was only a week into their relationship when she saw the two of them kissing in the hall. She thought maybe it was a misunderstanding, that he had confessed to her and she got caught up in the moment. She would be proven wrong two weeks later when she saw them do the same action again. Ruby thought she could ignore it, that if she showed how much she loved her Weiss would stop….but she didn't and that was slowly taking its toll on her physically and mentally.
Especially mentally.
Ruby sighed as she walked to and entered the bathroom, looking at her reflection she didn't see the hyper energetic girl she saw someone that was breaking apart. She had heavy bags around her eyes and her hair was messy havening not bothered to brush it as of late. She flinched back when her reflection morphed into that of Amethyst.
"Hey kid."
"Go away Amethyst." Ruby said coldly glaring at the ghost.
"Whoa, no need for that we haven't talked in such a long time I thought we might catch up a bit." Amethyst said. "I would have brought Kate with but…"
"I don't want to talk to you or her." Ruby sneered. "You two have done enough."
"We never did anything to harm you."
"You tried to manipulate me."
"We were helping you!"
"You were going to take away my body!"
"Says who? You're weak willed daddy? You do everything he says!?"
"Shut up!"
"If we were here we could have warned you about her! We would've-!"
"I SAID SHUT THE HELL UP!" Ruby yelled slamming her fist into the mirror shattering it.
She hissed in pain as the shards of glass cut into her hand making it bleed. Before she could even contemplate over what happened she heard a knocking at the door, hiding her hand from view she opened to reveal a certain orange haired girl.
Ruby smiled. "Hey Nora, what's up!"
Nora remained silent.
Ruby began to worry Nora was never silent.
"Nora?"
"I need to show you something." Nora asked, shuffling her feet as she got out her scroll.
"Okay what-?" Ruby cut herself off as Nora showed her the beginnings of a video.
And her heart shattered.
I'm not apologizing for this cliffhanger.
