"He's here, he's here, he's here!" A young female yelled excited.
"Okay, okay calm down. Jeez, you start jumping like a bunny rabbit just by looking at the guy." An older female said jokingly. The excited female stopped all of her motions to look at her.
"I do not jump like a bunny rabbit. Besides, he's the knight that I've needed in my entire life! Could this be love at first sight?" The young female started to get excited again. The older female couldn't help but just laugh at the entire scene.
"You're doing it again." She said while laughing. The young female didn't care, as she was in her own world.
"Yang, I'm going to go meet him now. And don't think about stealing him away from me! I've seen him first!" The young female glared daggers at the female named Yang.
"Ruby, we've already had this conversation before. Besides, you know that "he" brought the blonde here for "her" sake right?" Yang asked her. Ruby knew who "she" was, and she didn't like "her" being called without a name.
"Yang, her name's Rachel, you don't have to keep calling her like that." Ruby said sadly.
"Yeah I know, but isn't it a bit more fun calling her like that? I think it makes it a little more mysterious." Ruby only rolled her silver eyes.
"Whatever, I'm leaving now. You should go back to your floor now." Ruby said, getting her things prepared.
"Remember Ruby, we have to capture him. You're not going to do what I'm think you're gonna do are you?" Yang asked with a tint of worry, knowing what Ruby was capable of. This is the first time they had to capture someone.
"Oh Yang, you don't have to worry about me. I have other ways of getting people. Remember Yang, He's my knight in shining armor."
Bad vibes started to flow within Jaune. After getting past the first floor, he was more terrified for what was going to come in the nearby future.
"Seriously? What's with all of these roses?" Jaune asked himself traversing through a huge garden of roses. Minutes had passed when he first arrived in the second floor. But as he was going through the garden, he found himself in a huge castle-like room.
"What kind of place am I in now? First a city, and now a castle? Things keep getting worse for me." Jaune said to himself again. Upon walking in the empty room, he didn't see an odd block on the floor as he stepped on it.
"Wha-?" Before Jaune could figure out what he stepped on, he was interrupted by a huge blade, that came from the wall and almost sliced him into pieces if he didn't move.
"That was way too close. This is just like a castle alright. But where could an elevator be inside a castle?" Before Jaune could moved from his spot, he heard the elevator that he arrived in, start to make a loud noise.
"Wow, no wonder that guy from before could tell where I was. That elevator is really loud." Leaving from the trapped room, Jaune found himself a hallway that lead two ways.
"Really? Great, now I have to trust my gut with this. And trusting my gut, it tells me to go right." Jaune took the right hallway, to see if it was the correct way.
"Hm? A door?" Upon walking the long hallway, he found a wooden door. Looking inside, he was able to see knights standing on wooden stools, with sharp swords. "Are these things real?" Jaune wanted to get a closer inspection of the weapon, as he traced his finger on the sword.
"Ouch! Yeah, that was a very bad idea." With the small droplets of blood down his finger, he found out that it was indeed real. "I don't really like the look of this place, I better get out of here while I still can." Jaune continued to go down the symmetrical hallway and couldn't find any lead that was going to let him leave.
"It's like this place is endless. I should probably go back and find another way." Before Jaune could turn around, he heard clanking coming from behind him, and he could tell that something like that noise wasn't good.
"What the-" Jaune turned around to see a armor from far away starting to charge at him with his sword in hand and glowing red eyes. Without a moment of hesitation, Jaune ran down the path.
"What the hell is going on!?" Jaune yelled out to himself. While running, Jaune looked back to see that the armor was not giving up with the chase, as it was starting to gain up on him.
"Shit! What am I going to do now!? I don't have a weapon and I can't- Wait, a weapon!" With an idea in mind, Jaune halted his feet, and quickly dodged the horizontal slash from the possessed armor. The knight was quick to its feet, as it was like an actual person was inside the armor.
"I really hope this works, or I'm going to die here!" Putting his plan into action, Jaune kept dodging the slashes from the possessed knight and led him into one of the other knights that were standing still.
*Thunk!* Jaune dodged the possessed armor's vertical swing, only for the amor's sword to come crashing down on one of the idled armor. "Yes!" Jaune was quick enough to get the sword that was underneath the possessed knight's feet.
"Come at me you damn stupid armor!" Jaune didn't know that much about swords play, but he at least he was able to tell the pattern that the knight was following. The possessed armor came running towards Jaune without a thought in mind. It was just amor after all.
"Horizontal, vertical, horizontal, vertical, and attack!" Jaune dodged the knights attacks that were in a pattern and cut off the knight's helmet off it's shoulders. With nothing on it's head, the possessed armor went back into the orignal stance it had before it attacked him.
"Whew, at least that's over and done with. Now I need to find-" Jaune couldn't hear himself finish his sentence, as there were more clanking coming from behind him. Jaune didn't even want to turn around, so he started to get a head start ahead of them.
"Hey! This way!" During the chase, Jaune was saw a girl with black hair with a tint a red at the tip of it, at a doorway ahead of him. But what he could tell that was around her, was red rose petals falling around her. He didn't ignore her help, as he quickly hurried to the door, as the knights were gaining up on him.
"Close the door and back away from it!" As Jaune went into the room, the red tipped female, quickly closed and locked the door. As she went away from it, many swords penetrated the door but with no full effort to get through it.
"Whew, that was close wasn't it?" The red tipped female said enthusiatically without a care in the world. Jaune found it odd that she didn't actually care about the events that had just happened, but he chose to ignore.
"Y-Yeah, thanks for saving me. I owe you one." Jaune said, after getting a few seconds of regaining his breath. With as much energy that he has ever seen, the red tipped girl gave him a thumbs up and a grin.
"No worries! I was actually trapped here too! This was actually the way out of that endless hallway after all! Anyway, my name's Ruby, Ruby Rose!" Jaune didn't know what to say but only laugh at her introduction.
"Ruby? As in the gem?" Jaune asked after he stopped laughing. Ruby didn't mind the laughter, as she only kept grinning. But unexpectingly, she pulled out a paper that had her name on it with beautiful cursive.
"Yup! See how's it written? I made it myself!" Compared to her age, Ruby was like a child that had shown her parents her first cursive writing. Jaune chuckled at the thought.
"Yes, it looks very good Ruby. Can you show me the way out of here? I would very much like to leave this place." In a burst of rose petals, Ruby had grabbed Jaune and lead him to another door, that was the way out of the hallway.
"Here we are! Um, I know this might seem like too much but, can you take me with you? I don't want to stay here either. This place is just rigged with so many traps, so please? Preeeetty Pleease?" Jaune didn't know what to say. He only just met her, and he just felt like he couldn't fully trust her. But then again, she did save his life, so he is in her favor.
"Sure, we'll get out of this place with no harm!" Jaune wanted to seem like the type to reassure others that everything was okay but, he wasn't all that he seemed.
"Yay! What are we waiting for!? Let's go!" Ruby grabbed his arm and pulled him into a direction that he doesn't know. For one thing, he always had a thought in his mind from their earlier conversation-
'If she knew where the exits was, then why was she there to begin with?'
