"Mom do you think we'll find your teammates and how long do you think the journey will take?" Rosin asked Ruby.
"I'm sure we'll find my friends and I'm not sure how long this journey of ours will take." Ruby answered her daughter.
Oscar has been the silent one on this journey so far they've already walked a long way from their home. It was nearly nighttime and the youngest of the family was getting tired, Ruby had to carry Rosin for a few more meters before they decided to set up camp for the night.
"Oscar, who do we look for first?" Ruby asked.
"We'll be looking for Yang and Neptune first, we'll be needing her strength when we start to look for Weiss and Cardin." Oscar replied.
"Yeah, I guess your right." Ruby said a little upset.
Oscar looked up at the now frowning women he married and moved closer to her and comfort her.
Ruby rested her head on Oscar's shoulder. "Wha- what if we lose this battle Oscar, what will we do?"
"I don't-" Oscar stopped mid-sentence. "No, we're not going to lose Ruby, don't lose hope." He then rubbed his hand on Ruby's shoulder in an attempt to calm her down.
Before Ruby spoke again they listened to the crackling sound of the fire and the sound of their now sleeping children.
"We better get some sleep." Oscar said standing up.
"Yeah, your right." Ruby agreed with Oscar and stood up as well.
Oscar smiled at Ruby. "I do hope your sister is doing alright on her own with Neptune."
"You know she does will on her own, but I don't think Neptune is doing too well because of Yang's anger issues." Ruby said chuckling.
"Yeah, your right." Oscar said walking to his sleeping bag.
Before sleeping, Oscar watched Ruby as she began to lie down. But they didn't know they were being watched by the one who they were going after.
As Ruby and Oscar began to sleep the figure walked up to Rosin and grabbed a string of her hair and cut it off. After he put the piece of hair in a bag he looked back down at Rosin. He got down on his knees and whispered in her ear.
"I'll make you mine no matter what it takes, Rosin." Then he got up and left.
Rosin yawned as she awoke she had felt someone touching her hair. She looked around not knowing who would've touched her hair because her parents and brother were still sleeping.
She then noticed something that she didn't see before... A black rose with a note attached to it. Rosin looked around to make sure that Rory, Ruby, and Oscar were still asleep before getting up to grab the black rose and note.
When she went up to the one rose she saw a line of them but before following the line of roses she opened the note.

"Rosin?" Rosin heard someone whisper her name sleepy like.
Rosin turned to see Rory had woken up from slumber. He walked up to Rosin to see nothing but his sister.
"Rory, what are you doing?" Rosin asked quietly.
"I should be asking you the same," Rory said back in the same tone as Rosin.
Rory looked seeing a piece of paper in Rosin's hand and swiped it from Rosin.
He opened the crumbled up paper and began to read it.
"So who's "J?" Rory asked concerned.
"I- I honestly don't know."
"So is he like... Your boyfriend?" Rory asked teasing Rosin.
"No, I really don't know who they are!" Rosin yelled in a whispered.
"Whatever," Rory handed the paper back to Rosin. "We need to get sleep."
