Hey guys! Sorry if my writing's a bit.. Off? Anyways, after reading through what I wrote, I realized: I should probably put like breaks more often. Otherwise it's a big old chunk of text. I'm gonna experiment a bit more with line breaks, try to find a medium that looks good while writing. After I find the medium, I'm probably going to go back and fix all the previous chapters with grammar fixes, touchups, and the such. Side note, I don't really.. have a good upload schedule. I do these as the ideas come to my mind, but I'll try to do it often! Anyways, thank you for reading! I appreciate it, and I'll see you later.. or at the end of the chapter, if I add more notes.

other note after editing: I'm going to update this probably, just incase I use words wrong or something else... But until I notice something wrong with this chapter, it's staying. In the end, if I get better, this is getting a we-write. There's so many things I could do better but can't, because I'm not skilled enough. TBH, I wanted to give Wolf Faunus Ruby PTSD, but I've never had it and haven't done heavy research- and I'm not planning on doing anything that's complicated to hell and back for my first fic, because I would be likely to portray it wrong.

"Speaking"
;;Thoughts;;
Memory
"Speaking, with the characters 'quoting people.' "

August? ?, 4115?

A startled Ruby woke up in what feels like a bed- She felt fairly confused at first, letting out a small whine with her entire body aching. She shook her head and gathered her thoughts on where she is... And then remembered the previous day. She shot up, ears pivoting for any source of sound, before they drooped. She would've got up, but she expended most of her aura trying to defend against the last-moment notice of the crystal, and she was sure she spent the rest of her aura attempting to subconsciously heal herself while she was knocked out.

She let out a small sigh, laying back down. She didn't feel like she could move much all things considering, and if they had something against her she would be pinned down or locked up, but... she was still scared for herself. She didn't let that show though, just incase. They were obviously aware she was a Wolf Faunus, considering her cloak was nowhere to be found- and neither was her baby. Her ears drooped even more if that was possible, curling into a tiny ball, covering up, and deciding to count until the time she was checked on.

...Hospital?

August? ?, 4115?

After counting up to 152, she got bored and started fidgeting with the blanket. After a while of that, she started thinking to herself about how she got in this situation... Before she could think the dark thoughts her mind was wandering to, the door opening, the woman with the riding crop from earlier walking in, with Ruby instinctively turning towards the woman. Ruby looked at the blonde woman, who was holding the riding crop at her side passively as she walked in, a fairly neutral look on her face besides a small frown. Ruby instantly made herself smaller at seeing the frown, and if even possible, her ears flattened even more against her head.

Silver eyes stared shakily into Green, the woman with the crop walking over to Ruby, causing her to have to forcefully resist the urge to back up even more. The woman wielding the crop spoke up , with a voice that sounded like a figure of authority- Strong and unyielding. "I'll have you know that your actions last night will not be taken lightly, young lady. You put yourself and others in grave danger." At hearing this, Ruby's ears couldn't flatten anymore if she tried her best, so she resorted to sinking into the hospital bed more.

The woman spoke up once again. "If it were up to me, you would be sent home with a pat on the back..." Ruby brightened a bit, still feeling rather discomforted by how... authorizing this woman felt. "And a slap on the wrist." She spoke the end with a bit more force, flipping her riding crop down on the bed railing to Ruby's left, causing her to flinch back with what sounded like a mix between a yelp and a whimper. She spoke up once again, pacing away from Ruby. "However, there's.. Someone here who'd like to see you." The door creaked open again, with a man wearing black and green, with silver hai- Her train of thought is interrupted when she smells cookies on the air, being held by the one in a black waistcoat.

"Ruby Rose." He speaks in a loud tone, while not sounding commanding. While he's walking over, Ruby's taking note of the newcomer, attempting to find out who he is... She knows she's seen him before, but where? He picks up from where he left off. "You..." He stops, before taking a look at her face, causing her to shrink back a bit. "Have silver eyes." Her expression fairly instantly turns into confusion. Most people had noted on her wolf ears, or her tail, or most other things, but.. Almost never her eyes. "U-um..." Ruby stuttered, looking away awkwardly. "So!" The one in the black waistcoat- ;His name has to start with O...; exclaims, pulling back and- Where did the woman with the crop get that scroll? It has footage of her fight with the thugs, though. He picked up, his voice tinged with a small bit of curiosity. "Where did you learn to do this?" She sighed while watching the footage of her throwing her scythe at one of them.

"I-I'm... Self taught." She stutters it out, watching the footage to look for flaws in her combat. "You taught yourself to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?" She shrunk a small bit at him saying this. "W-Well.. Yes.." Her nose picks up the cookies again, bringing her attention to them while the guy in the black waistcoat... ;Oz something? Yeah, it has to be Oz something..; Puts the plate down beside Ruby while making a small noise of thought. She eyes it, looking between him and the cookies before he gives a small nod of assurance. She reaches over and grabs one passively, before munching down on it... And then revelling in how good it tastes. They taste just like how her mom used to make before she...

She shook her head slightly, dispelling that line of thought, before reaching a conclusion on the identity of the one in the black waistcoat. ;He's Ozpin! But... Isn't he the headmaster of beacon academy? Why is he here..?; She could find out later, instead eating another cookie slowly. Eating chocolate chip cookies too quickly made her sick to her stomach, probably because of her Wolf Faunus heritage. She looked back at Ozpin questioningly, as he continued to talk. "I've only ever seen one scythe wielder above that level of skill before... That would be a Dusty, old Crow." Ruby looked at Ozpin, thinking for a second. Swallowing her cookie as not to be rude, she started to speak again. "I-If you're talking about w-who I Think you are, He w-was my inspiration... He smelled a small bit like a C-Crow, and saved me from some Grimm outside of V-Vale.. About five y-years ago. I-I used to be complete Garbage until I saw that, and i-it inspired me to get better..." She nervously spoke, picking up another cookie and starting to eat it.

"And what is an adorable girl like yourself doing training like yourself?" Flinching backwards uncomfortably at being called adorable, she fixed herself and spoke. "I-I want to be a huntress... Or a Hero of s-some kind... To prove the s-stereotypes around Faunus and W-wolf Faunus wrong." The person who is probably Ozpin shared a glance with the blonde with a riding crop before looking back at Ruby, into her eyes. "Do you know who I am?" He asked a simple question. She resisted the urge to avoid eye contact, nodding before speaking. "Y-You're the headmaster of beacon academy, O-Ozpin... Right..?" Ozpin nodded to himself, before speaking. "Hello." ;Why is he..?; "N-Nice to meet you..."

He looked at the Blonde with Glasses, before looking back at Ruby again. "Would you like to come to my school?" Another question, answered with less hesitation. "M-More then anything." She answered with conviction, despite her stammer. He looked at the blonde one more time, who scoffed and rolled her head and her eyes. "Well, Okay." Ruby's ears perked up and she smiled a bit, before nodding to herself. "D-Do you mind if I... G-Go and get my stuff? I-I sorta left most of my things a-at the... place I was staying..." She sorta looked away while asking this. "Okay, then. Tomorrow, after you rest, come to the airport West of where you encountered Torchwick. I look forward to seeing you, Ruby." He nodded towards the Blonde again before leaving.

"I'll take you to where you've been staying." It wasn't a request to take her there, it was a demand. Ruby nodded nervously, giving her the address to a small apartment building. "Can you stand?" She asked the question. "I-I think so.. My legs feel a bit numb, and my left side aches, though." Ruby finished the cookies off, standing up shakily. "W-Where's.. Crescent Rose?" She felt naked without her weapon. "We will be collecting it as we leave. Now let's move on." The blonde lead the way, with Ruby following nervously behind.

How was that? Other then bland, and following the normal plot. I'm still on the events of the first episode- although that ends on the next part. And honestly, I wouldn't expect daily updates. I nearly posted this (OR DID.) at 1 AM Eastern, Today- Or the 13th of may, depending. It'll be likely to use some canon events, up to the end of the first volume, and a small bit of volume two. Please, Leave a review if there's something about this fic you think could be fixed, and thank you for reading!
