Darkness.
Darkness and Ruby screaming her name are the last things she remembers during the fight between the grimm and her team.
"Ughh..ow" She groans as she tries to open her eyes. She's finally able to open them but all she sees is white everywhere "W-Where am I?" She groaned out before her vision begins to clear.
"Weiss! You're awake!" She gazes to the left to see Yang rushing up to her "I can't believe it! The doctors were wrong" She hands Weiss an unopened bottle of water "Here, you can have this since you need it more than I do"
Weiss nodded before grabbing the bottle and taking a sip.
Yang let out a sigh of relief before sitting down in the chair next to the bed "You've been unconscious in the hospital for two weeks and the doctors said you might not wake up again"
Weiss took another sip of water before giving the bottle back to Yang "Where are Ruby and Blake?"
Yang tensed up before looking down at the floor "Blake is at school and Ruby.." Tears began flowing down her face "Ruby's gone.."
Weiss gasped "W-What?"
"When that ursa major charged at you..Ruby suddenly flew towards you both and knocked it off the cliff taking herself with it" Yang wiped a few tears away before more appeared "Nobody could find her body..but there was lots of blood"
Weiss felt the tears build up in her eyes before she put her hands to her face and cried. Her best friend was gone and she was never going to see her again or tell her how she felt. Long before the fight, she had just figured out and accepted that she was in love with her partner but now she was never going to be able to tell her.
Yang leaned forward and pulled Weiss close to her "I'm sorry" She mumbled as she hugged her gently.
Long after weiss had finished crying, Yang left due to visitation hours being over.
-3 Months Later-
Weiss sighed as a nurse helped her to her feet "Thanks.." She mumbled then grabbed her bag on the bed before heading off towards the bathroom to change into her normal clothes. She looked up as she entered the bathroom and winced at the small scar across the right side of her neck. She closed the door then locked it and began to undress.
She was just about done getting dressed when she heard a knock. She quickly pulled her shirt over herself then grabbed her bag.
"Weiss?" Yang's voice could be heard from the other side of the door "The doctor told me you'd be leaving the hospital today so I came to help with anything I could"
"I only have my bag that had my clothes in it" Weiss replied as she stepped out of the bathroom and handed Yang the bag.
They left the room Weiss stayed in and headed down the halls.
"Did you watch the news yesterday?" Yang asked as she held the bag at her side.
"No, why?" Weiss wondered.
"The grimm reports have been getting smaller"
"So?" Weiss was a little confused on why Yang was bringing this up.
"That's not all" Yang's tone got very serious "People have been reporting rose petals being spotted near the forest"
Weiss gasped "Ruby?"
Yang nodded "Could be but nobody's been reporting seeing her at all"
"We should check it out"
"Let's get back to Beacon first" Yang let out a sigh.
Thoughts of Ruby filled Weiss's mind as she followed Yang out of the hospital 'It has to be her! There's no way it isn't'
A/N: Had this idea for a story for a while now and finally decided to write it up. Except for the final Chapter, all chapters will be short. Also if any of you are confused on where this takes place, its between Volume 2 and 3.
