I can not think of anything that sound good and its very annoying!
Anyways onwards~
"Hello again~" The familiar voice ring in Ruby ears, glancing over at the tall red head she could help but feel envious; She was confined to a bed while Pyrrha was walking freely. It had been a few days since her conversation with Blake. The faunus haven't stepped in her room since she told her the name of the faunus responsible for her injuries. The only two who visited her was Pyrrha and Weiss, Yang haven't gotten over thanks to her leg.
The rest of team JNPR had detention for blowing up the kitchen, Ruby was sure Nora was responsible for the destruction and Jaune just ended up being a causality. Normally RWBY would've' been involved and it probably would've led to a brawl between the two teams. From what Ruby was told team CFVY had gotten involved.
Ruby currently had her knees up, resting her head on them. The position caused her some discomfort but she didn't mind. "Hi Pyrrha." She sighed, wondering why the red head consisted on visiting her every day. "You know…you don't have to come by every day? I'll be fine on my own Pyrrha."
Truth be told being trapped in the hospital did nothing but forced her to think about the battle she fought with Adam and the grimm. She'll fall asleep every night and wake up in a cold sweat, haunting by her thoughts while asleep. Pyrrha company did only one good thing; It distracted her from her own thoughts. The redhead offered a small smile, "I brought you cookies." She placed a small bag of cookies on the desk besides Ruby's bed.
Normally Ruby would jump at the chance to devour cookies, but now the sight of them only reminded her of how childish she was. She was training to fight grimm and monsters like Adam not become a girl scout. "I don't want any." Her response led to Pyrrha sighing lightly.
"Perhaps a walk would suffice?" Ruby only turned her head, looking at the window. Her black hair laid across her shoulders, reminding her that it had grown during the battle with Adam. The huntress bit into her lip, laying in the hospital wouldn't help her get strong enough to fight the faunus. She needed a new weapon and more training. The feeling of hands combing through her hair interrupted her thoughts; her wavy hair was pull back being put into a ponytail. "I've never seen your hair this long before…"
Ruby allowed her body to relax slightly as the tall warrior adjusted her hair. Ruby was never protective over her hair like Yang, though the only person who did touch it was her father. "The doctor…they said I aged." The thought of growing up without being aware of it felt odd to her. Using Yang semblance and Weiss time glyph affected her body, aging her within seconds. "I'm 16 now." The thought of aging and developing in a few moments made her feel sad. There was no birthday party, no excitement over being 2 years away from becoming an adult. Instead she felt hollow, like Adam had taken a year of happiness away.
"Oh…uh happy birthday?" Pyrrha attempted a gentle smile, too bad the leader of RWBY still was looking away. "Do you not want to go outside?"
"I can't walk Pyrrha!" She hissed at the red head, watching her jump from the sudden outburst. Her legs weren't broken or anything but they were injured and weak. Not to mention the fact that her feet was covered in blisters and would make walking even more uncomfortable.
"I know." The huntress stated, "I don't want you to struggle, but maybe a stroll outside would cheer you up." Before Ruby could yell more about Pyrrha not listening, the red head lifted her out of the bed. "Your nurse left a wheelchair out in the hall for your use. And it is such a beautiful day out."
Ruby was startle by the girl suddenly lifting her up, she had wrapped her arms around her neck tightly scared of falling. When Pyrrha sat her down, she was ready to lay into the girl for literally pulling her out of her room against her will. "I'm sorry!" She exclaimed the moment their eyes met.
Ruby sighed, the deep look of sympathy on her face killed any negative response Ruby could think of. "Fine…let's just get this over with." The red head smiled, slowly pushing Ruby though the hospital.
Ruby could feel people eyes landing on her, studying the various bandages covering her body. She desperately wished the doctor had given her something to cover her body and hide her wounds. The bandages around her chest only hid her nipples, it didn't make her feel fully covered.
Ruby lowered her head after making eye contact with a young huntsman who stared at her with more intensity than the others. She felt as if she was being judged and stripped of her bandages. The thought of being on display sicken her greatly, making the walk to outside less and less bearable.
The rays of sun light warmed Ruby's skin, though the urge to make Pyrrha turn around grew more after noticing there was more people outside than inside the hospital. The feeling of a familiar piece of fabric falling onto her body caused her head to shoot up. The bright sight of snow white hair and concerned blue eyes caused her to relax slightly.
Ruby glanced down at her red cloak, quickly wrapping it around her body tightly to hide the numerous wounds. She pulled the hood up over her head to hide her face, she never been insecure before but now after knowing she would have many scars things had changed. "Seriously Pyrrha? She's barely dressed...I doubt she wants everyone staring at her!" Weiss scold the warrior; she stomps her foot with a shake of her head.
Pyrrha stared at the display for a second, trying to debate if it was adorable or not. "I'm sorry!" She exclaimed just like before, "Perhaps I was just a tad bit…impulsive." The red head knew if she told Weiss she had snatched Ruby out her bed and placed her in a wheelchair without her agreeing her scolding would become worse.
Weiss folded her arms at the excuse, "You should be more thoughtful Pyrrha." Weiss had healed surprisingly fast within the last few days. She wasn't at 100 percent but she could move around much easier and only was staying at the hospital because she refused to sleep in the dorm alone. Blake haven't been in the dorm either, having taken her talk with Ruby hard. Weiss was almost sure Blake was sharing her aura with Yang to help her recover faster.
The last time Weiss had seen the faunus she looked as if she hasn't slept in forever and had abandon her usual habit of reading books. Instead she would sit down and look at the nearest wall in thought. This behavior made the ice queen nervous, "Actually Pyrrha would you mind giving me and Ruby a bit of alone time?"
"Okay…oh I'll bring back something to drink." Pyrrha gave Ruby a squeeze on her shoulder before slowly making her way back into the hospital. She knew the small girl would be safe with Weiss, but it still made her nervous to leave her outside specially in her injured state.
"Ruby…" Weiss reached out to pull the hood back, locking eyes with the single sliver orb. "What…did you do to Blake? I know you two had a fight but…is it really that bad?" She wondered how deep the new-found hatred for Blake ran.
Ruby was silent for a decent amount of time, long enough for Pyrrha to return with their drinks. Weiss was certain she wouldn't get an answer, making her sigh. "When my mother passed…Yang brought me out to find her mom, so I could have a mother again. I had taken mom passing harder than anyone else and she just wanted me to be happy again. During the trip, we were attacked by Beowolves…they nearly killed us but my uncle Qrow saved us. That was what made me want to become a huntress…but I developed a fear after the incident. "
Pyrrha was confused by the sudden story but couldn't help but feel sorry for the younger girl. Weiss was only slightly confused, wondering how this would answer her question. "What was that fear, Ruby?" She swallowed, she knew Ruby's mother died but never asked any questions expecting it to be a sore subject.
"I feared the color black. Black meant death, tragedy and…Grimm. That fear never went away, even after getting accepted into beacon. Then I met Blake…" She pulled at her hood, placing it on her head once again. Her voice came out much softer, cracking as emotion built up.
"Blake was black…it was her color. She took away the fears. She was not death…she was mysterious. She wasn't tragedy. She wanted justice. She wasn't Grimm…she was a faunus…my favorite faunus." The young girl inhaled sharply. "I found comfort in knowing black was her color…and she was none of the things I thought black reparented…until she…until..."
The image of Blake holding her gun at her was what caused her to snap. Her hand clutch her head as tears spilled from her eyes. "Why…" She sobbed out, picturing the grimm she had fought furiously. She would be lying if she said she wouldn't save Blake again, but now the very appearance of the faunus caused pain. "I..blake was…I." Ruby found herself struggling to find the right words, her emotions running high.
Before she could break down further, a pair of warm arms wrapped around her tightly. She didn't resist, crying into Weiss shoulder. Pyrrha simply squeezed her hand, whispering smoothing words into the younger girls' ear.
Unknowing to the girls Blake was nearby, sitting in the tree they decided to talk at. The faunus found herself hugging her legs tightly, sobbing silently into her knees. She had no idea that Ruby wasn't just enraged by her but hurt deeply. "I'm so sorry Ruby…I'm so sorry." She repeated to herself, she would make it up to the girl. She'll fix what she broken.
-BREAK-
She torn though the Grimm as fast as she could, her legs burning like fire. Each breath she took causing extreme pain to run though her body. She hunched over, inhaling deeply to get her body working the way it was supposed to. "R—Ruby.."
The pain voice caused her head to snap up, meeting a sight that nearly cause her to vomit. Yang beautiful purple eyes were dull, slowly going out like a candle. Her stomach was being devoured by a Beowolf that she weakly fought against trying to save her own life.
Ruby felt tears build up in her eyes as she ran toward her beloved sister, her semblance refusing to activate and move her faster across the field. She could only watch in horror as Yang head was lifted back, a Beowolf snapping it jaw down around her neck. The little resistance Yang had to offer vanished as her eyes dulled becoming lifeless in front of her sister.
Ruby collapsed, tears freely running from her eyes at the sight of her sister being devoured. "YANG!"
The huntress shot upward, her body screaming in protest from the sudden movement. "YANG!" She screamed, quickly running her hands though her hair while searching the room for any signs of her older sister. "It wasn't real…it wasn't real…it wasn't real." She repeated out loud, rocking her body back and forth.
The images she saw in her dream refused to vanished, making her feel sicker by the minute. "Yang…can't be dead…" Her thoughts ran while, making her realize she had not seen her sister since she been in the hospital. "Please…don't be dead."
Without a second thought, the huntress pushed herself out of bed. The moment her feet touched the floor pain flared though her legs. The blisters on her feet hurt like hell from the smallest of steps while her legs shook violently. She was already sweating when she reached the door, struggling to stay upright after pushing it open.
She stumbled out of the room and collided with a pair of toned arms. The color black surrounding the individual, Ruby yank back in fear expecting it to be Grimm. "Ruby." The sight of familiar amber eyes stopped her before she could pull herself free.
Ruby was much too tired to protect or scream at the faunus. Blake looped one of Ruby's arms over her shoulder, gentling helping her travel down the hall. "I…I heard you scream." Ruby didn't speak, still trying to calm down.
Blake knew she would get in trouble by the staff if they knew she was sneaking into the hospital at night to watch her friend sleep. She couldn't visit during the day simply because Ruby did not want to see her at all. The faunus wanted nothing more than to fix their friendship, fix the damage she had done and turn Ruby back into the friendly girl she once was.
She had watched the girl twist and turn at night, screaming and crying out for either Weiss or Yang…sometimes she would scream for Blake as well. Those were the only times she could offer comfort in the form of physical contact. She would hold her hand giving small squeezes while whispering smoothing words into her ear letting her know she was there.
At times, she would lay her head down next to the huntress, they had slept together a couple times during missions. The one time that stunk out the most was when they were team CRBN on a second-year mission with Coco as leader.
Blake, wish she could talk to Ruby and try to say sorry to her, but she knew only one person was on Ruby's mind. When the duo reached Yang's door, Blake pushed it open slowly while pushing Ruby into the room gently. "I'll let you two talk alone…"
Ruby nodded slowly making her way over to the bed with golden locks spread across the white sheets. The loud snoring of Yang was a welcoming sound compared to her silent room. Yang leg wasn't in a cast no more thanks to Blake sharing her aura to speed up the blonde's recovery.
The moment Ruby reached the side of Yang's bed, her fingers slowly brushed though the long locks of gold. "You're alive…you're alive." Without thinking she threw herself onto the larger girl getting a low groan in response.
"Ugh…" Yang felt like she just been punched in the chest, the sounds of sobs knocked her out of her drowsy state but only slightly. The sight of Ruby's red hood made a smile creep across her face. "Yeah…mama Yang makes the best pillow."
When Ruby glanced up with her face covered in tears, Yang nearly felt her heart shatter. The sight of one of Ruby sliver orbs being gone lead to tears exiting Yang soft eyes. "Ruby…"
"I thought you was gone…" Ruby interrupted, her grip tightening on her sister. "I..i wasn't strong enough to protect you…I was-"
Ruby was pulled onto the bed before she could speak more, Yang wrapped one arm around her tightly. Her head pressed against Yang's chest, allowing her to hear the steady heartbeat of the brawler. "I'm right here sis…you were more than strong enough." Yang hand went through her hair, "I'm right here Ruby…I'm not gone."
Silence took over the room as exhaustion kicked in. She slowly drafted off to sleep in her sister arms, sleeping peacefully knowing Yang was still alive.
This will be the last chapter in the hospital. Than we could move on to more plot and Ruby's drive to get revenge on Adam.
BTW Team CRBN will be mention again.
EDIT! - Team CBNR will be changed to Team CRBN (Carbon) thanks to firebirdnamedsam suggestion! I like the name much better as CRBN!
