Chapter 2 : Rage and Awkwardness
"Weiss, have you seen Ruby?" Yang asks. She hasn't seen her sister anywhere. Weiss, dumbfounded, shook her head. Even Blake doesn't know where the girl is. Suddenly, they heard a commotion outside their dorm. Yang left the room to check it out, followed by Blake and Weiss.
The trio push through the crowd to see what happened. On the floor, they see Ruby sleeping in a weird posture. Curled up in her red cloak, she keep on sleeping, not realizing what happen to her surroundings. "RUBY?!"
The girl in red slowly open her eyes and sees a crowd of students surrounded her. She then saw her team mates among the crowd. What...? She watch where she's sleeping. Her face burning red in embarrassment. She quickly stood up on her feet and cover her face with her hood. Some of the students giggled. Yang, Blake and Weiss dismissed the crowd before Professor Glynda passing the hallway.
"What are you doing, sleeping at the hallway?!" Yang screeched. They need to get ready before class start. Ruby keep on drying her hair, ignoring her sister's question. "Ruby, are you listening to me?"
Ruby wear her boots, still ignoring the question, although she's getting annoyed. "Ruby, can't you just..." Wrong step...
"WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP?! YOU'RE SO ANNOYING!" Ruby suddenly burst in anger and lashes on Yang. Yang, Weiss and Blake are shocked. Ruby never say her sister annoying nor shouting like that. The girl in red realizes what she did back off and leave the room. The trio stood there, watching the girl left.
Class has ended and Yang decided to confront her sister. She's been wondering what's wrong with her. The only place she could ever think of is the academy's garden. At the garden, she saw a red figure sitting on a bench. 'It must be Ruby...'
Yang walk towards her but she stepped on twig, making a cracking sound. Startled by it, Ruby take a quick glance on the blonde, gets up and leave. "Ruby, wait!" Yang called out but she's too far. She immediately chase after her.
Ruby try to catch her breath when suddenly she feel someone touch her shoulder. She turn around and sees Blake and Weiss before her. Few seconds later, Yang came and catch her breath. In her mind, she wondered what would they ask her. She immediately apologize,"Yang, whatever you gonna say, I'm sorry for shouting at you. I-I didn't mean to, I swear!"
Ruby tries to escape but Blake blocks her. Weiss and Yang look at her with a worried looks. The huntress begin to trembles. She feel a sudden rage inside her. "Ruby, are you okay? You look...weird today," said Weiss in a soft tone.
"Weird? No I'm not! I feel normal! Ahahaha..."she fail to convince her friends. She clench her hand into fist. Ruby begin to slowly walk away. However, Blake is in her way. Her rage grew larger and suddenly, a tree behind the trio was cut in half. As the three of them watch what happened, Ruby realizes her right hand becomes a claw. She hide it inside her cloak. Slowly, she run into Emerald Forest. Yang saw where she's going, giving a chase.
Weiss and Blake still wondering what and how it happened.
