chapter1: Nightmares and Hot-chocolate

After the largest earthquake recorded to date Ruby and Yang were separated, Ruby fighting back the Grimm as chaos took hold and the grimm attacked in the sudden helping people stuck in falling buildings, unfortunately for her Ruby took a swift blow to the head and ended up somewhere, whilst the adults pulled Yang back telling her she was a goner. But Yang wouldn't ever beleive that, never, Ruby was stronger then any 14 year-old she had ever met. And she had one hell of a spirit.

the white fang hot on Blakes trail. she had no choice but to make a beeline into the earthquake losing them for at least a little while , she knew it was a dumb thing to do, but in Blakes yes it was also one way to get of the white fangs radar. Sadly for Blake she had been running, faster and quicker with every step when she was met with several Deathstalkers... And as for Weiss, lets just say she was out of town, out of harms way, the only one to not be affected by the the calamity.. at least not physically after all, the heiress of Vale was very delicate...

Ruby looked around to find herself in a unfamiliar place, A grown man and woman sat next to a girl that looked a few years older then Ruby, she has golden locks of hair and was hyperly chatting to the other two . Ruby was puzzled, why was she with some strangers what was this place? she looked around the small room, something felt wrong, like any second this cozy image would fade into a dark void that would consume her and all of her looked around again for any exits but found none, even though this picture was of a nice family in a warm and welcoming home .

"Ruby, what ya think?" a voice appeared out of nowhere, it was almost hollow

before Ruby could turn her head back to see her former family distorted and their hair colour a ghost -like white, their limbs cracking and turning to dust in front of her.

A shriek came from her lips only to open her eyes and find herself in a hot sticky sweaty, wet eyes and a dry she was short of air, something was holding her down and she couldn't do anything.

Her eyes bolted open as a stinging sensation was left on her right cheek and a familiar voice spoke "Hey, shut up its 5 in the morning and your gonna wake everyone else up!" Of course, it was Kiki her best friend and only friend at... where? ruby looked around trying to remember where she was to no avail, groggily ruby gestured for Kiki to get off her and with her hand still on the side of her head said "Where am i again?".

Kiki replied with a short sentence but still didnt answer Ruby's question "Still in wonderland Ruby?"

"Wha-" She was cut off by Kiki saying "Though from what it sounded like it was more like hell then anything,bad dream?" walking out the door trying to let as little light in as possible. Ruby followed like a stray dog. When the light hit her eyes its stung for a moment until she blinked and her eyes adjusted.

"Kiki i-" Ruby said as she was interrupted

"So... which dream was it this time? big,white and the grave? Or was it... One of those dreams, y'know about the three people?"

Ruby stared at her, Her remaining tears being pushed down her cheeks by new ones as she sat down on a old wooden stool as Kiki got her a hot-chocolate. This had recently been happening a lot, Ruby would wake up in cold sweats after having a very realistic nightmare. Kiki had finished making the hot chocolate and bring them over to the high top breakfast bar like table. As Ruby looked into her mug she saw dissolving white and pink marshmallows and what was left of the squirty cream. Ruby examined Kiki over the top of her mug as she sipped. She remembered the first day she came Kiki had been the first one to talk to her, Ruby had been on a table on her own, unsure of her memories of the past months and what exactly had happened. a worried look appeared on Kiki's face hesitantly she said "Ruby.. do you think that these recent nightmares have somthing to do with your Amni-"

"Shut up about that" Ruby hissed, It wasn't often she got angry or upset, just this certain topic had hit a nerve, she didn't care for the past nor for what ever happened, all she wanted was to grow up and become a huntress.

Ruby hesitantly looked up from her mug a second time"Sorry, its just..." Ruby trailed off as Kiki began to laugh

"Its fine, don't worry about it cause were soon going to be outta this dump!" A slight smirk forming on her lips

"Hey Kiki... This hot chocolate tastes funny.. and what do you mean were gonna be outta here? its 5:15 in the morning" Ruby looked up from her mug as she saw Kiki get up from the stool beside her and put her mug into the sink, continuing to rinse it "well..." She finally replied from over the water from the tap.

"This is what i mean..."

Ruby's vision suddenly became blurry as her eye lids felt heavy and she slouched in her chair, Sleeping.

"Back to hell Ruby rose" Kiki chuckled
