The first chapter in my opinion was alright, but I hope that in my absence that I'll be able to go back to making memorable moments that are filled with emotion and suspense, anyways, here is Chapter 2.
Blake and I entered our dorm and we noticed that Yang and Weiss were already asleep. We both had to let out a sigh, they got married before us since my blonde sister insisted on it but I didn't think they would sleep together that quickly.
"I guess we should leave them be." Blake said and smiled. The last time we teased them was three months ago… and that day when we did that, Yang retaliated with humiliation.
"We learned our lesson; I'm not doing that anymore and you're not either." I said and chuckled.
"Let's just get some sleep."
"But we went to sleep hours ago, I feel so awake." I said and groaned in annoyance.
"Well what do you want to do, it's late and we can't just roam around school or we'll get in trouble?"
I thought for a moment, I don't want the two of us to get in trouble but I don't want to waste time waiting to fall asleep, okay, to be honest, I was feeling tired but I didn't want to rest here. That's when an idea shined in my mind. "I know where we should go." I said and grabbed her wrist. Then I rushed out of the room, ignoring her questions as we went to where I wanted to go.
"Why are we here again?" Blake asked, confused as to why we are back in the Blooming Forest.
"Okay, I was lying about not being tired but I didn't want to sleep there, I just want to rest here, looking up at the sky." I said softly.
She laughed. "I never thought you were the one to follow steps of a romantic movie; I was expecting Yang to do that with Weiss."
"Hey~! I-I am not trying to copy a romantic m-movie!" I exclaimed but that only made her laugh harder.
"Okay." she said sarcastically. I realized that she has gotten more playful than how she was at the beginning of our first year at Beacon. I turned my attention to the stars in the sky and noticed something flying through them.
"Look, a shooting star!" I exclaimed and pointed at it as it soared through the sky. "Let's make a wish." I closed my eyes and begin thinking of what I wanted to wish for. It may seem cheesy or something but… I want to be with Blake forever. I thought and opened my eyes. "What did you wish for?" I asked Blake, who just finished thinking.
She just smiled and kissed my lips. "I wished for you to be happy… so much has happened and I don't see you smile a lot. It's over Ruby… we can lower our guard and go back to our lives at Beacon."
"But what about this?" I transformed into my full beowolf form and then my small form. "What if… someone wants to kidnap me again?"
Blake wrapped her arms around me and whispered into my ear. "I won't let that happen, plus you look cute in your small form, you look like a puppy."
I blushed. "T-thanks." I pulled away and returned to my human form. "I'll just try not to change as much, it gives me a headache."
She placed her hand on my forehead. "You have a fever."
"I do?" I asked in surprise. I don't feel light-headed or cloudy, I only feel tired.
"You are really burning up, are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, I don't feel horrible at all." I got up and placed my hand on my forehead, it feels too warm for comfort. That's when my vision became blurry; I felt like everything just blew at me in full force and I fell to the ground. "I don't feel so well."
"Ruby? Talk to me, I'm going to get you some help." Blake said, her voice sounding distant even though I knew she was close. I felt myself being lifted off the ground, and then I blacked out.
When I woke up, I was in the infirmary. I groaned at the migraine I was having and tried to go back to sleep. I feel like I'm on fire. I thought and chuckled. The door to my room opened and Blake walked in. "How are you feeling?" she asked as she got a chair and sat next to my bed.
"Like Yang is giving me too much heat." I said and chuckled.
She laughed. "Well you should tell her to ease off on it."
I smiled. "Where is she and Weiss anyway?"
"They're on their way; big sis wouldn't leave her little sister alone right?"
"I'm sure Weiss wanted to tag along, she might be able to freeze me so the heat can go away." We talked for a while until Weiss and my sister walked in with a nurse.
"How's my baby sister doing?" Yang asked in an energetic tone.
"If you can stop heating me up then I'll be fine." I said in a playful tone.
She laughed and replied in a sarcastic voice. "Sorry, I wish I could stop but baby sis needs some heat." I laughed at her way to play along. "But in all seriousness, do you know why you have such a high fever?" she asked, her expression serious.
"I-I don't know Yang… it just happened but I didn't feel it before Blake put her hand on my forehead." I said, not leaving a single detail out. "Now I'm here."
Weiss walked up to me and placed her hand on my forehead, despite the heat, I can still feel her ice cold touch. "You're half as warm as lava…"
I had a hunch about why this was happening and now would be a good idea to confirm it. "Weiss… do you think this is because of what your father did to me?" I asked.
Her expression darkened, it was never a good idea to talk about her father since the only thing that reminds her of him was the times that he abused her. "Now that you mention it, there was some failed test subjects back when we had you that showed similar symptoms. They had passed the first test but afterwards, they would have a major migraine that killed them… the rise in body temperature is the main reason and we combated that with medicine that we made."
I sat up on my bed in shock. "So are you saying that if we don't get this so called medicine quickly, I could die of high fever?!"
"Maybe, or you could almost certainly get brain damage if it goes over a hundred and five degrees, which may make you lose memories or end up with Retardation."
"Oh, so I might become a retard if I don't treat myself… that really makes me feel better Weiss." I said sarcastically and sighed.
"I need to check your temperature right now, here, put the tip of this in your mouth." She handed me a thermometer that doctors use and I did what she told me to do. It made beeping noises a few moments later so I took it out and handed the device back to her. "A hundred and two, huh… the process is going much slowly than what I would expect, probably in two or three hours, you'll need the medicine quickly." She rose from her seat. "I need someone to come with me, we're going to my house… or what was my house." Yang and Blake both raised their hands simultaneously which I thought was strange, why would Blake want to go if I can't?
"I'll go, Yang, you should stay with your sister." Blake said in a calm voice. Yang was about to object but the black-haired faunus winked at her and my sister sat back down. Is she trying to find something out? I thought and felt a wave of confusion hit me.
Weiss didn't seem at all worried, but she did give Blake a questionable look. "Why are you going Blake?" I asked.
She leaned closer to my ear. "I want to find something out… in the meantime; I want Yang to take care of you." I nod. I hope she knows what she's doing; I don't want something to go wrong.
Weiss
Blake and I stood in front of what was my home, I never wanted to go back to it but I had to and if I didn't, then Ruby would die. "Hey Weiss, can I ask you something?" Blake asked as we walked through the halls.
"What is it Blake?" I replied, wanting to know what she needs.
"Is there any other things we have to worry about for Ruby?"
I thought for a moment, I haven't seen any other side effects to her ability when father and I tested other people but there is a few he always thought would happen rarely. "There are some rare side effects but they only come and go once… I don't know all of them but from my father's research, some can be… drastic." As I explained, I heard a noise from the door leading to my father's secret laboratory. "Is someone here?" I asked.
That's when Blake pulled me into the nearest room and placed a finger on my lips, silencing me. "Someone's here… I heard footsteps coming towards us from that door." She turned around and opened the door a little bit so she can peak, then she gestured me to take a look myself. "What are they doing here?" she asked.
I peeked through the small opening and noticed a woman in a red dress and next to her was a man with orange hair and a white coat. One question had formed in my mind when I saw the two… what was Cinder Fall and Roman Torchwick doing here?
So here is the next chapter, sorry for being late but remember to leave a review and the reason why I'm late on publishing this is the fact that I have end of course exams this week so I might be more busy than usual... oh, and I have been making ideas for my YouTube account Gamers14 since I want to read fanfiction and record myself doing that and other stuff.
