AUTHOR NOTE: THIS WILL BE A VERY DARK FANFIC, I WILL TRY AND STAY AWAY FROM MAJOR TRIGGERS. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT. I DO NOT OWN RWBY.
Chapter One:
They see me as small and broken, they see me as just a child.
"Ruby, I can't believe you blew this mission so hard" Yang scoffed at her the millionth time that day. Seems like this was only going to go more downhill from here. After a long tiring mission Ruby was exhausted but her teammates were not going to let her hear the end of this. Yes she had blown the mission, but it wasn't all her fault. I mean they were a team after all, she had blown their position to save Weiss from a rogue grim that had snuck up behind them. But even Weiss was unrelenting with her scolding.
"Really ruby, I can handle myself" She said in her usual icy tone. Ruby had already herd enough at this point but when even Blake decided to chime in that was the end of her patience.
"Your just a child after all" was all Blake said. At this Ruby had finally snapped.
"Fuck you guys" She screamed as she stormed out of the dorm room.
Weiss, Blake, and Yang just stood there mouths hanging wide open. Yang let out a loud scream as she punched her bed creating a rather large dent.
"She doesn't deserve to be team leader after today" Yang yelled in her rage.
Blake and Weiss Just stood their shaking their heads in agreement, a plan already formulating in their heads.
In the weeks to come Ruby had been a lot more distant with her teammates, not even sleeping in the same dorm. According to Cardin she had been sleeping around in rather shady areas in Vale. A lot of people had not been able to place her anywhere near Beacon during the night. She only appeared for classes and no one saw her in the training rooms. Many people were beginning to believe the rumors to be true, even Yang who could find no proof against them. Maybe Yang just wanted an excuse to be mad at her sister. The mission had been crucial to her finding information on her mom. Ruby was lucky to have even known her mother, Yang felt a lot of bitterness at how she had to miss out on her childhood. Ruby is just as immature as ever.
After some heavy training Yang had received a message on her scroll from Weiss. It was the location for a meeting about Ruby. Yang letting her anger get the better of her decided to join the meeting, it was time to teach her sister a lesson. It was time for Ruby to grow up.
The plan was set, on the next mission they were to take action. The following day teams RWBY, CRDN, and JNPR were called forward to kill a sudden grim boom in emerald forest. As they headed towards the forest only a few shared knowing glances.
"Weiss look out" Ruby yelled as she used her semblance to block an enemy grim that had been about to break Weiss's guard. Weiss froze for a second as a grimace formed on her mouth. Weiss felt horrible for what they were about to do to their team leader, but if was for the greater good of their team. Ruby couldn't keep putting them in dangerous situations. As Ruby blocked the grim Weiss cast a ice glyph at ruby's feet. Ruby litterly froze as her feet were glued to the spot. The grim was approaching quicker and quicker. "What are you doing Weiss?" Ruby screamed.
Weiss frowned once more as she moved to kill the grim, suddenly Yang, Blake, Cardin, Blake, and Pyrhaa approached from the edge of the tree line. Each one landing a heavy blow on Ruby who could do nothing to defend herself. They each were yelling at her, calling her a child. Out of no where a stray nevermore swooped down from the sky and they must have forgotten that Ruby couldn't move. The grim struck her through her stomach leaving nothing but a gaping wound. The forest floor was red, a Ruby screamed out loud. Still frozen to the spot the nevermore struck again this time biting off Ruby's hand that still clutched her scythe. This time no scream came from Ruby's mouth. The others who scattered at the sight of the nevermore emerged out of the forest once again.
They all stood mortified at the sight of the huntress in training, frozen in place eyes no longer silver but a white. Yang was the first one to react, making her way over to her sister. Her eyes for the first time in a week no longer red but lilac. She stared at what used to be her little sister, a cold shiver making it's way into her body. "It wasn't suppose to be like this" she said in a shaky voice. Tears now streaming down her face, "We were just going to teach you a lesson". Suddenly Yang dropped to the forest floor her grief finally getting the better of her. She was supposed to keep Ruby safe no matter what, and now she had helped murder the only thing she loved.
Weiss stood their next to Blake both of them looking at each other for reassurance, for something other than the lifeless body of young Ruby Rose. But now the sky turned a dark red as the sun finally set, the teams saying their goodbye's to Ruby as they debarked back to Beacon academy.
They entered the dorm room, that was now so silent. Yang was shaking with rage and sadness. "I killed my sister" Yang finally spoke through gritted teeth. Blake and Weiss both let out large sobs as they turned to yang and said "We all killed Ruby".
A soft Rose sent was all that remained of Ruby's presence, they hadn't been able to break Ruby of her Ice prison. And crescent rose had been all but destroyed, they had decided to leave Ruby's most prized possession with her.
As lighting stuck down in the forest of Emerald, A young Rose withered and in its place thorns bloomed.
"Who would leave such a small girl in this forest" Cinder asked aloud as she freed the red beauty of her cell.
