for almost an hour ruby and her team walked between the trees,not finding any beowolves or even a grimm came to a clearing and ruby decided to call for a break for a few team found a couple of places to sit around the hadnt been there a few minutes when a rustling came from the jumped up with weapons ready,ruby unfolding her crescent waited in anticipation,tense and ready for a beowolves stepped out of the small ones,not much taller than thr hunters growled before springing into dashed forward,her speed increased by a shot from her on one of the beowolves she spun her weapon around,slicing at her glanced off the beowolves armor,not even leaving a quickly before the grimm could attack she buried the scythe in the ground and opened fire with her sniper augmented bullets tore into the grimm,causing it to stagger her chance to pulled her scythe back in and activated her vamished in a cloud if red rose petals,appearing right next to the one smooth motion born form years of practice in the field and with her weapon,she decapitated the felll to the ground,disappearing in a cloud of black the sweat from her forehead,she turned to see that the rest of her team had already dispatched the rest of the grimm,ruby was pleasantly surprised to see weiss's and blake's were all standing together,watching her.
ruby started walking to them."blake weiss!so glad to see you!have yall had an-".
ruby was cut off when blake charged her gamboul shroud raised caught of guard,ruby barely blocked the strike,the force sending her back several feet to her up she barely dodged a blow from another attacker jumping to her she was attacked by four of them at the same ,confused and wondering what was going on,she blocked them all in a flurry of warning they all jumped confused,ruby looked around to see weiss activating a of ice flew towards her semblance ruby was barely able to dodge them,appearing in the miidle of the clearing as she spun around,staring at her teammates and classmates.

"why...why..."she wheezed.
ruby watched as her friends and classmates stared at her in anger jealousy and disgust before they turned and walked away,weiss and blake at the rear of the small weakly raised her arm towards them.
"wa...it...dont...go..."she said through the blood in her anyone heard her they gave no sign of looked back as they dissapeared into the forest,leaving behind a bloody broken girl in the clearing.
ruby stared after them watching as they disappeared,her arm dropping to the lay there unable to move from blood stared at the sky as she coughed up another lung full of blood.
" did they do it."she thought."deep down she knew why but she didnt want to acept it."i didnt do nothing".
her sight going dark from the loss of blood she barely saw a dark shadow walk out of the forest towards squinted trying to see to no figure knealt next to of despair and sorrow,ruby lifted her right arm to the figure
"i... ...nna ...die..."
then the darkness claimed her arm falling to the ground.
the figure looked at the bloody mess in frony of her for a second before carefully lifting the young girl in her around,the figure disappeared in a trail of black smoke.
