DISCLOSER: I do not own RWBY. Only this idea.

A/N: Hey guys. Wow, it has been a looooong time since I've written. I miss it.

Chapter 1

Team RWBY sat in the cafeteria, eating their lunch when Cardin walked by, taking the cookie out of Ruby's hand. Weiss, Blake, and Yang's faces conveyed horror as they saw Ruby's adorable face darken. In the following second, the cafeteria was filled with a terrifying shriek as Ruby sped around Cardin like a small tornado. He screamed in pain as the blade of Crescent Rose sliced at him. Students and faculty watched as blood pooled on the floor around him and his screams subsided. Ruby stopped, returning back to her table, munching on the bloody cookie. Cardin fell into pieces on the floor, making a mess. Dove walked up, aiming his sword-gun at her from across the table.

"You'll pay for that!" Dove yelled, his brow furrowed in anger. Using her speed, Ruby sped around, turning his weapon towards him right before he pulled the trigger, and then giving him a push forward before returning to her seat. As she stopped, Dove fell forward onto his blade as a shot fired into his chest.

"What the hell just happened!?" Blake asked, looking at the dead body next to her tray.

"I think she may have just killed them both." Weiss stated as Russel and Skye ran away in fear.

"Miss Rose, do you have any idea how much trouble you're in?!" Glynda asked angrily as she stomped into the cafeteria.

"What're you gonna do, spank me?" Ruby taunted. Glynda swung her riding crop, smacking Ruby's cheek with it, leaving a bright red mark. "Feeling better?" Ruby continued to taunt, earning her another smack with the riding crop. Ruby simply laughed at the professor. As Glynda raised her arm to swing again, a hand grabbed her arm, keeping her from swinging the riding crop.

"Glynda, that's enough." Professor Ozpin said as he released her arm. "Let it go." He continued.

"But sir, she…" Glynda began.

"Let it go" Ozpin repeated. Glynda huffed angrily and walked away, her heels clicking on the floor.

"Ruby why'd you- Ruby?" Yang began before noticing her sister was no longer in the cafeteria.

"Where'd she go?" Blake asked.

"I think I saw her heading back towards the dorms" Pyyrha chimed in as she went to put her plate away. Yang, Blake, and Weiss all headed up to the dorms.

Ruby was lying on her bed, her headphones on and listening to music, when her team walked in.

"Ruby, what was that all about!?" Yang exclaimed as she ripped the headphones off her sister's head.

"Woah, chill sis!" Ruby replied, grabbing her headphones back.

"What was that all about, back there in the cafeteria?" Yang asked.

"Cardin took my cookie. He paid for it." Ruby answered

"And so you kill him?!" Yang exclaimed.

"Oh c'mon, I did a service by offing him. He deserved it." Ruby said.

"Ruby! What's gotten into you!?" Yang asked.

"Nothing! I'm fine!" Ruby replied, jumping down off her bed. She threw a duffel bag over her shoulder and walked towards the door.

"Ruby, where are you going?!" Yang asked.

"Somewhere that's not here." Ruby answered, opening the door.

"Why?!" Blake asked.

"Ask Weiss" Ruby said before speeding down the hall, leaving rose petals in her wake.

Blake and Yang both looked at Weiss, who looked completely flabbergasted and offended.

"I have no idea what she means by that, I swear!" Weiss exclaimed as she noticed Yang's angry glare.

"Just come on, let's follow the rose petals." Yang said angrily.

Ruby stood aboard the airship in her black jeans and red hoodie. When the airship arrived at the station in Vale, she exited the ship and after a look around she sat down on the steps to wait for someone. She pulled a cigarette out of her pocket, followed by a lighter given to her by the person she was waiting on. She held the burning paper tube in her mouth, inhaling the chemicals. She exhaled, smoke pouring from her mouth like a chimney. She didn't smoke very often, she'd had the same pack for a month and still had a few left.

A fancy, white and orange car with black tinted windows pulled up to the station. The passenger side window rolled down and the voice inside said

"Hello Red"

Ruby walked over and opened the door. As she got in, Yang, Weiss, and Blake stepped out of another airship to see Ruby get in a car.

"Ruby!" Yang called out, trying to get her to turn around. As the car drove away the girls noticed that the license plate spelled out 'TORCHED'.

"You don't think…" Blake began to ask.

"No, she wouldn't. Not Ruby." Yang said, trying to convince herself that her sister wasn't 'turning to the dark side' so to speak.

"Are you sure she wouldn't?" Weiss asked, her tone filled with venom.

"Look, I know my sister! And I know that she's no criminal." Yang remarked.

"Yang, she killed two people today. Albeit they deserved it, but she still murdered them." Weiss stated. Yang sighed heavily.

"Ruby, please don't do this." Yang said to herself.

"So, how ya been, Red." The driver of the car asked.

"I've been better, Roman." Ruby answered as she pulled her hoodie off.

"Anything else you want to take off?" Roman asked her as she smoothed the wrinkles in her shirt. Ruby pulled off the wig that looked like her natural hair. The one her father had made her wear from the time she was two years old to protect her from discrimination. She let her claws grow out and she took off teeth-colored covers that covered her sharp canine teeth that filled her mouth. Ruby sighed in relief as she ruffled her hair, letting her ears stick up. She'd been covering up so long that even Yang had forgotten she was a Faunus.

She jumped as her scroll vibrated in her pocket.

"Hey" Ruby said, answering the call.

"Ruby! Tell me you didn't get in that car with who I think you did." Yang said frantically.

"That depends, who do you think I'm with?" Ruby asked.

"Roman!" Yang exclaimed

"Well, I can't lie to you. I am with him." Ruby said.

"Ruby, how could you!?" Yang exclaimed.

"I don't want to talk about this right now!" Ruby replied, annoyed.

"Well, will you be back?" Yang asked, her voice filled with worry.

"Of course I'll be back, Yang!" Ruby answered.

"Well, be careful Ruby." Yang said, sounding defeated and sad.

"I will. Don't worry, I'll be fine." Ruby said.

"I'll miss you. And I love you, Ruby." Yang said.

"Love you too, sis." Ruby replied, hanging up. Ruby lied back in the seat as the car grew nearer to Roman's abode.

"Damn it!" Yang sighed as she stuck her Scroll in her pocket.

"What is it? What did she say?" Blake asked, just as worried as Yang.

"She's with Torchwick. And she's not coming back just yet, but eventually" Yang answered, tears beginning to roll down her cheek. Blake and Weiss hugged the weeping blond as they stood at the airship station.

A/N: Heyyyy you guys! That was chapter 1. I hope you like it, I know it's small, but there will be more soon. I'm not back for good, but I should be able to post semi-regularly for the next year or two. Love you guys. Qwek Qwek.
