A/n: alright first thing first I am not claiming to own RWBY nor any or it's characters, Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum own them.
FYI:English was not my best subject in school so sorry for any spelling/grammatical errors I do proof read but I don't always catch everything.
Blake had done things she wasn't proud of, a lot of things over her seventeen years of life, with 'pointing a gun at a fifteen year old' being high on that list. How did Blake end up pointing a gun at a little girl well that was a bit of a tale.
It began with a loud thump. Normally a simple noise wouldn't of scared the raven haired girl but, a half-asleep Blake at three am, is much more jumpy than a normal Blake. So what's an insomnia ridden fauns girl to do when she is woken up at three am by a loud inexpiable noise? Do a sweet back flip out of bed and grab the gun she kept on the nearby dresser, of course. So that was how Blake ended up pointing a gun at a terrified fifteen year old girl, the girl in question was none other than Ruby Rose. However, this shell of a girl who stared back at Blake was most certainly not a normal Ruby, no this girl had all the color drained from her face, wide fearful eyes, drenched in sweat, and her blackish-red hair was messy and jetting out in all directions. When Blake noticed this two ideas immediately sprung into the faunus's head. The first being Blake pointing a gun at the shorter girl had scared her and the second being that someone else had awoken and terrified the poor girl. A quick glance around the room with Blake's night-vision disproved the latter and Blake had seen Ruby stare down Ursa, Nevermore, and much bigger guns without batting and eyelash, so the former was highly improbable too.
"Ruby what are you doing?" Blake's voice was filled with worry as the grey-eyed girl simply stood there shaking ever so slightly in her pajama bottoms and tank top. At this point Blake was begging to feel fear's cold dark grip around her as she noticed three things that were certainly off. Firstly Yang was no where to be seen in the room, Secondly Weiss too had gone missing, and lastly Ruby held a stuffed teddy-bear by her right side-a stuffed toy Blake never noticed.
"Ruby are you alright?" At this point fear held a solid grip on Blake and Ruby's answer certainly did not help.
"I can't forget" Ruby's voice was horse as if she had been screaming. The faunus immediately began walking around to the other side of the bed where Ruby has been standing the. Blake wrapped a protective arm around the fearful girl and guided them down to the not-soft-but-not-firm beds the school gave them.
"Hey, hey," Blake began in a soothing voice "it's all alright," Blake wasn't sure if this was a lie but with half her team missing and another seemingly on the edge of a mental breakdown 'alright' seemed like the best word to use. "we're safe here no one will hurt us." While Blake did question her own safety, and now given a moment to think Yang and Weiss's safety, in this situation she would be damned before someone hurt Ruby. The silver eyed girl buried her face into Blake's neck and began letting out small sobs but, eventually, calmed down enough to sleep. The fauns however was not lucky enough to be graced with sleep so, instead she opted to preform a silent vigil and make sure nothing hurt the poor frightened fifteen-year old, holding Ruby next to her Blake leaned back on the bed careful to make sure Ruby was not disturbed. When the younger girl rose Blake would seek answers but now, now, she would wait for Ruby to wake.
A/n: my original upload involved a very sleepy me and apparently my sleep-deprived self is only mostly literate.
Edit #1 8/18: Added a bit to the start and the middle fixed some grammatical errors although I get the feeling I'm still missing a few.
