"Talking."
Echoes filled her house, started grating at her very ears and woke her up from a deep slumber, one she did not remember partaking in.
Her room was dark, almost unnaturally so, but she dismissed it, as tonight had a dark moon after all.
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
'Who Was that?' Was someone trying to break down the door? She walks out of her room, into the hallway to the stairs. 'Strange, was it always this long?' Continuing forward She turns another corner.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
She swiftly breaks into a jog. Quickly jogging down the hall, she already feels like she has run a marathon, though it has only been 20 feet.
"I'm Sorry!"
The voice comes from behind her causing her to spin around, suddenly startled. The hall turns pitch black, and her heart starts thumping in her ears.
*THU-THUMP* *THU-THUMP* *THU-THUMP*
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
The door sound from behind her and now she can't control her breathing. So she turns around and sprints for the door, for which, she is sure wasn't there before.
"How could you!"
*BANG* *THU-THUMP* *BANG* *THU-THUMP* *BANG* *THU-THUMP*
The voice causes recognition to briefly sweep across her face, and she stumbles.
"You knew this could have happened at any time!"
*BANG* *THU-THUMP* *BANG* *THUMP* *BANG* *THU-THUMP*
She collapses to her knees, gasping for air and starts crawling towards the door. The door creaks, slowly opening.
She halts, and with her, all noise stops. Even her heartbeat.
"I'm sorry summer."
"I have to leave."
"I can not put her life into danger with my toxic presence any longer."
The door is opened, but there's only fire behind it, and slowly a figure emerges.
All is quiet, save for the crackling of the fire through the door.
The figure steps into the doorway, he does look familiar in a way...
The light reveals his face.
"Hello Red."
She falls, and as she does, she screams, for her mother, for her sister… and for her father.
"-uby! Ruby!"
She screams. But someone is there... Her sister. Her sister is always there to comfort her, she always is...
"Ruby calm down! Calm. Down. It's me."
Ruby's eyes snap open and focus on her sister. She is shaking heavily, and steadies her breathing.
'What was that dream? Or was it a nightmare...?'
"Ruby? Are you okay?" Her sister says.
"Yeah, just a-..." Ruby stops short, seemingly uncertain of something.
"Ruby?"
"A nightmare, that is all it was. Okay, Yang?" Ruby snaps.
"Whoa! Okay! You woke-up on the wrong side of the bed, didn't you." Yang stepped back from the bed, and crossed her arms.
Ruby runs a hand down her face, "I'm sorry Yang. That nightmare, it just got the better of me, that's all it was."
'I wish I knew what that was though. Why do I feel like I'm supposed to remember something?"
"Watevs, it's behind us, and that's all that matters right, rubes?" Yang replies.
Before Ruby can reply the door slams open and a steaming Weiss stomps into the room.
"What are you still doing here, you dunce! Ozpin has an announcement to make today! Don't you remember!"
Ruby Jumps out of bed, knocks into Yang and sends blankets everywhere, making the room a mess. Weiss promptly shrieks in Rage.
'Today is going to suck, isn't it?'
