You can't out run the beast soaring through the clouds. You see Ruby used her semblance and is most likely safe now. Your lungs feels like they get smaller and smaller with every stride you take. Ruby comes back to get you, swooping you up in her arms.

"Weiss hurry up! We could be in trouble if one of those feathers hit us!" Ruby's voice is shakey, she is speaking with now confidence, concern flashing in her eyes.

You smell rose petals, looking over the girls shoulder they cover the ground. You make this mistake of looking up, seeing the enraged beast dashing above your heads. You see feathers hitting the ground in front and behind you. Ruby lets a painful groan escape her mouth, sending you tumbling to the ground. It looks so beautiful, the way the petals gracefully mix with forever fall's beautiful leaves.

"Weiss, keep running! It… It got my leg. I'll be fine Weiss please keep running! Weiss run!" The giant feather is clean through Ruby's leg, immobilizing her. The beast screeches when it sees it finally hit its target. Ruby shakes shudders more the louder the beast gets.

"Weiss run! Fucking run! Damnit Weiss! Leave! Go away!" Ruby was choking on her on words, sniffling every breath. Face drained of all color, Ruby yelled, and yelled. Weiss didn't move. She couldn't move, instead she just stared at Ruby.

With one final screech the beast sent another round of feathers towards the earth. 2 hit Ruby. Another in her leg, one through her chest. This caused Weiss to finally move. Everything had been taken from Weiss in that split second. She crawled to Ruby, not noticing how badly scraped up she actually was. Ruby was coughing uncontrollably, before finally choking out

"Weiss, wake up. Something is wrong. Ice queen, are you having a bad dream? Weiss wake up! WEISS!"

The girl jolted awake, quickly finding her surroundings. Ruby watched as her tresses covered her face, caked in sweat. She looked everywhere, chest beating rhythmically. She finally caught a glimpse of Ruby and pulled her into a hug that rivaled Yang's.

"Ruby, you're okay! I was so worried! There was a Nevermore and you saved me! Thank you so much." Weiss's heart was out of control, speeding up more and more.

"Weiss relax, I'm here Weiss. I'm here, don't say anything just breathe."

Weiss labored breath after breath, trying to slow down her heart.

"In through your nose, out through your mouth, in through your nose, out through your mouth. Everything is okay. Everyone is okay. I'm okay, Ruby's okay, Blake's okay, Yang is probably okay." Weiss's breath wobbled when she would exhale.

Gently rubbing her back Ruby tried to calm the startled heiress. Brushing the thick hair off the pale girl's forehead, she quickly cooled the skin with a cold washcloth.

"I'll be right back, I promise" Ruby soothed. She quickly ran to the bathroom flashing quick glances over to her sisters bunk before entering.

"She's okay, just a bad dream. Can you and Blake go get some white tea? Its Weiss's favorite and she ran out last night."

"Sure thing sis, anything to help out the princess. C'mon Blakey lets go!" Yang cheered, grin covering her face.

Blake got out of her bunk, keeping her eyes glued on her book. "Would you please stop calling me that insufferable nickname?"

"Don't you mean pet name?" Yang quickly asked while closing the door. Blake said nothing, but a moment later there was a loud thud coming from the hallway.

"YOU THREW YOUR BOOK AT ME?" Was heard loud and clear coming from the hallway.

Now with those two gone, Oh Weiss! Her water! Ruby dashed into the bathroom where they kept little cups to use for mouthwash. Quickly filling one up with the coldest water a faucet could give, she quickly handed the cup to Weiss.

"How ya feelin'? Ruby made sure her voice wasn't too loud, and her tone caring. She noticed the fencer's breathing had slowed down to a much more relaxed state.

"I'm glad you're alive, thank you Ruby." Weiss seemed to stare at the end of her bed, spacing out. She had just witnessed one of her biggest fears. Losing someone who she not only cared for, but losing someone who cared for the heiress herself. Weiss snapped out of her tranced and stared at Ruby's silver orbs. They were unlike any other, one of a kind. The fencer quickly pulled the younger girl into another embrace.

"Please don't die Ruby… ever."

Ruby let a small chuckle escape past her lips.

"It's not funny! Do you know how scary that dream was for me, don't you dare die on me! You got that Rose?" Weiss's voice was stern, more stern than the "No cookies past 9" voice.

"Weiss, as long as I have you, I'll be fine" Ruby tightened her grip on the girl when she heard light footfalls coming from the hallway.

"We're back!" Yang chimed. "And it looks like Snow White is feeling better. I got you some tea, I think Ruby would love to make you a cup."

"You all don't have to do this for me. Its-" Weiss's speech got cut short when Ruby quickly silenced her with a kiss. Both girls were emitting heat from the sudden kiss.

"Shut up, we want too." Ruby murmured after removing herself from the lip lock, the girl's face still flush. "Now I'm going to make you tea, and you are going to relax today alright? You can study later, but we don't have a test until next Monday so you can calm down with all the studying." Ruby stated in a matter-of-fact tone. "Don't give me any butts about it."

Weiss simply sighed knowing the girl had won. An off day would be good, she could follows Blake's example and maybe read a good book. The heiress didn't have many off days.

"Here you go princess." Ruby handed the steaming cup of tea to the bundled up girl. Normally Weiss would have scolded anyone that called her "princess" but Ruby meant it out of love. "Now you feel better okay? I know this may be a bit much for a bad dream, but it sounded pretty scary. At least take the morning off okay?" Ruby asked with her famous puppy dog eyes.

"Okay, okay. I promise. I actually wouldn't mind a day to myself." This was the first time this morning the heiress smiled. It may have been for a split second, but it still made Ruby's heart melt.

"You deserve one! I'm going on a cookie run, you need anything else?"

"Nope. Just don't get lost you dolt."

Maybe an off day will be nice.
