So this is my first fan fiction and is based within the RWBY world. Ruby is framed for the murder of another student and is forced to live as a fugitive. But what secrets will she learn about her aura along the way?

Disclaimer: I do not own any part of RWBY or it's characters, that is solely the pride to be held by Monty Oum.

It was a crisp morning, the quiet stillness was a peacefull change to her normally loud and energetic life. Ruby may seemingly be happy and excited all of the time. But she often needed time to deal with her past, and just be alone. Many of times during her weeks at Beacon had Ruby seperated herself from her team members to contemplate.

'I should probably be getting back soon.' Ruby closed her eyes in anticipation as she knew what routine would follow. She then smiled inwardly recalling all of the times she had been chided by Weiss or Yang for leaving without a words notice. She decided to take her time on the back though, cherishing the few moments that she had left to be alone.

It wasn't long before she was coming to the door of her team's room. When she entered she immediately noticed two things, Blake wasn't reading as she normally would and Weiss and her sister were missing.

"Hey Blake, where's Yang and Weiss?" Ruby asked curious as to where they may be.

"Proffeser Ozpin wanted to speak with them, and he said it was urgent." Blake became restless and started pacing.

'Oh, I wonder what it could have been about?' Ruby decided against focusing on what she had been told, instead thinking that it would be better to visit the training ground before it got dark. However when Ruby went to look for her trusted weapon, it was no where to be seen.

"Have you seen Crescent Rose? I can't remember where I left it." Starting to become anxious, Ruby thought that maybe Blake or Yang could have moved it.

"No, I thought that you never left it, how could you have lost it?" Blake had finally stopped her pacing thoughtfully.

"I went for a walk and didn't need it." The answer seemed to satisfy Blake as she continued her pacing. 'I wonder why she's all antsy?'

Having little else to do, Ruby was forced to read one of her own books that she had brought from signal. After a somewhat long while of Ruby drifting in and out of sleep, she heard that door open followed by Yang and Weiss arguing.

"Hey guys, where have you been?" Ruby had decided not to ask what they were arguing about in fear that it may start again. But as soon as she had spoken, they both stopped their argument and looked at Ruby.

Yang was the first one to reply, although not giving the response that Ruby had expected.

"Where have I been? You were gone for almost half the day!" This actually troubled Ruby, it certainly wasn't the first time that she had left for a long period of time and they had never seemed to care before.

"I was out walking along the campus grounds. But I heard that Proffeser Ozpin wanted to talk to you guys about something, what did he talk to you about?" They both looked uneasily at one another.

"It was nothing too serious, he just wanted to know how we were adjusting to the new school."

"But why hasn't he talked to me or Blake about it yet?" Yang uneasily shrugged and tried to pass it off as normal.

"I guess he just hasn't gotten to you yet." Ruby had accepted this answer reluctantly, as she thought it was better to drop it and ask again later than continue bugging now and receive another lecture from the ice princess.

'Heh, ice princess.' She smiled inwardly at this thought. The two had actually begun to become increasingly close as the days wore on after initiation, to the point where they had actually started to develop deeper feelings towards each other. Although neither would ever admit it.

Ruby just sighed as she took a shower and did her daily pre-sleep rituals. 'Why must everything have to become so complicated?' It seemed as if whenever anything would start to go the way she wanted, some new obstacle would arise. This wasn't always a bad thing, as with her feelings for Weiss. She knew that they could never be indulged as she was certain that Weiss did not return her feelings. But even still, she wouldn't trade her feelings for the world.

She had finally finished in the bathroom and started to head for her bunk bed that hung from ropes. Ruby had a flash back to when the bunk beds had been created. She hung her's from ropes and surrounded it with a white sheet. Although the others thought that it was for a tent like appearance, she really just wanted to give herself the illusion that she could be alone with her thoughts.

When her and the others had crawled into their respective beds Weiss turned out the dust powered lamp, leaving Ruby to dwell on her thoughts until she finally drifted into a sweet abyss of nothingness.

(Proffeser Ozpin's Office)

Ozpin sighed, he had just recently finished his conversation with Yang and Weiss, which had become very emotionally stressful for them and very physically stressful for him. He thought about whether or not he should have brought it up now, or waited until he had more information. For the time being Ozpin would make no moves as to telling Ruby Rose any of this, but he would monitor her. In attempts to try and disprove what had just been given to him.

Oooh, what was said thing that had been given to the Proffeser Ozpin? (That wasn't given away by the story description I swear, ok, maybe I'm lying.) So how was that for my first chapter? I know it may have been a little short and lacked action, however this will be made up for in future chapters. I mainly just wanted to make a base for my story as really show that Ruby is more lonely, and less...Well less energetic and happy than she is in the show. Any feedback is always welcome and I would love to hear what you guys think about the story. (Also just wanted to warn you that this story becomes a lot darker the farther in you get and I will be making updates frequently)
