Chapter 1- A Lost Rose
Yang's been worried sick. So has Team RWBY... Well, mostly Yang, because her little sister has... vanished.
Three days ago, Ruby went to Vale to buy some cookies and run some errands (mainly to buy cookies) and she hasn't returned. She hasn't answered her scroll, and no one can find her. There's absolutely no trace of her...
"Yang, you need to calm down!" Blake snarled.
Yang has been getting on Blake's nerves. Yang hasn't been listening to her own advice. She's letting Ruby's disappearance control her.
"Look, I'm sorry, but my sister is gone and she could be dead for all I know." Yang shot back.
"You need to listen to your own advice. Remember back when-"
"No, you need to think! Ruby has been missing for three days and anything could've happened!"
"You just need to calm down and let the police do their job."
"The police have been letting crimes occur left and right! Just look at our world now. You and all Faunus have been corrupting peace!"
They were in their dorm room. Yang gave Blake a shove, a strong one. Blake fell back, and tripped. She fell backwards and began to fall out of the open window. Instead, she felt herself get pulled forward. Yang grabbed her arm and pulled her in close into a hug.
"I'm... I'm so sorry." Yang whispered. "I went too far there. I'm sorry Blake, it's just that this is very personal and Ruby means everything to me..."
"Yang, I understand. Now think. Just relax for yourself and the people you care about... For me."
They pulled back and stared at each other.
"Blake... thanks."
"We'll find her Yang. Just... take it easy."
Meanwhile, with Weiss...
"I'm sorry to hear that sister." Winter said.
Weiss was speaking with her sister. She came to take care of some business and stopped at Beacon along the way. Weiss told her about her partner going missing.
"Thank you, I'm just worried for her."
"I bet you are. You have messaged quite a bit about her."
"Ever since Ruby disappeared, all of those around her changed. All of her friends have been anxious, my team has been acting differently... I overheard Ruby's sister, Yang, having a call with their father about what's happened recently. I didn't listen to the whole conversation, it was... heartbreaking."
Winter gave her a sympathetic look and put her hand on her shoulder. Winter would've slapped her for being emotionally weak. She then afterward, would've turned it into some advice, but it didn't seem right. Weiss didn't even look at her elder sister. She kept staring straight down, letting a small tear leak.
"Ruby wouldn't want to harm a fly. She only wants to become a Huntress and protect those who can't protect themselves. She's too innocent to deserve any harm... How this is impacting me... I despised her at first, but now I care for her deeply... I just wish I could tell her-"
Her scroll started to ring. She looked to see who it was and noticed it was Jaune.
"Jaune? What is it?"
"W-Weiss! Vale! The hospital! It's just, uh, the alley and-"
"Jaune! Calm down! What happened!?"
"Just get to the hospital in Vale and bring your team! Hurry!"
Weiss was flustered but realized...
"It could be your leader." Winter said.
At the Hospital...
"Jaune!" Weiss cried.
She brought her sister, Yang, and Blake to the hospital. They found Jaune outside. He had an unreadable look on his face.
"You're here. Come on!"
They all rushed past the front desk and ran down the hall. Eventually, Jaune stopped and so did the others. Jaune spoke, but didn't look at them. The rest of Team JNPR was out in the hall too.
"Guys... they found Ruby..." he started.
Weiss and Yang didn't hear the rest. They both rushed in there and saw Ruby sitting up on her bed with bandages around her head.
"Ruby! I'm so glad you're okay!" Yang cried.
They both hugged her from both sides of her.
When they both pulled away, Ruby gave them both confused and an uncomfortable look.
"Who's... Ruby?" she asked.
They both looked at her... Yang had tears already... while Weiss was frozen in place, unable to speak anything...
Blake, Winter, and Team JNPR had dark faces. That's when Jaune finished what he was going to say...
"Weiss, Yang... Ruby lost her memory." Jaune said.
