A/N:
Chapter three, woot woot! I'm excited that we're moving along here. Still having a ton of fun with this too!
This chapter will give that little bit of White Rose I mentioned including earlier in chapter one. I want you to give me your opinions on how I did with it. I need your feedback right now so I know what I can do better or more differently.
Now, back to the story!
Two days ago...
Yang was awoken from her fitful slumber by her father. Yang had never known her father to look this worried in her entire life.
"Yang get up, Ruby's gone!" Was the only thing he said before he left her room to get himself dressed and ready to leave.
The brawler slowly rose from her bed, and for the first time in weeks, showed emotion. She had a look of worry on her face, fearful as to what could have happened to her sister. One of the biggest thoughts that came to mind was how Yang treated Ruby when she finally woke up from her coma. Yang was immediately hit with guilt as she thought she may very well be responsible for Ruby to have left.
She ran to her closet and threw on her clothes as best she could with her one good arm as fast as possible. When her father returned they were both fully clothed and ready to leave. They hopped into Taiyang's car and drove off.
The ink on the Ruby's note was still somewhat fresh when Taiyang found it when he woke up. With this he knew that Ruby couldn't have gotten too terribly far, especially considering all of their vehicles were still at their house.
"How did you find out she left dad?" Yang asked.
"I went to her room to check on her before I made breakfast, but she wasn't there. I just assumed that she was already up and making herself something but found the kitchen empty, apart from the note on the table she left." He responded.
"I can't believe she would just leave like that. That's more of my style, not hers." Yang said looking down at her lap.
Taiyang gave her a clap on the shoulder while keeping his other hand on the wheel. "We'll find her. I know we will. It's just a matter of catching up to her."
Taiyang followed the footprints in the snow left by the group of teens mere hours earlier.
"You think they got very far?" Yang asked more worried than her father was at this point.
"Not really. They seem to be on foot, and Ruby's note looked like it was made somewhat recently, so they might be close enough for us to catch up fairly quickly, especially considering we've got the car." Her father replied. Just like some cruel twist of fate, after Taiyang finished his statement the tracks from the teens turned away from the road and into the woods. "Well shit." Taiyang muttered under his breath.
"I guess I could use the exercise?" Yang muttered while scratching the back of her head with her hand, to which her father grew a slight smirk.
They got out of the car and began trekking through the woods.
'I hope she hasn't gotten herself hurt' Yang thought to herself as they walked. 'I don't know what I'd do if I lost her now.'
The duo walked through the woods at a fast pace following the tracks of their target.
Current time...
The heiress hated these walls that enclosed her. She hated the hallways she walks through. She hated the dining hall she has all of her meals in. She hated this entire damned building.
She would call it a mansion, but castle is a word that comes to mind better when anyone sets their eyes on the structure. Weiss hated the way that walking into the Schnee estate sent a chill through her body, something typically unfitting for her.
When her father picked her up from Beacon he was outraged. She had been ignoring him since she left for Beacon, and now that she still ignored him after the shit-storm there sent even more anger surging through him.
He and Weiss have hardly made any interaction with one another the last two weeks apart from a glare on occasion. Weiss always hated her father, but now that she had spent time with people outside of the ice cold Schnee dynasty she hated her family even more so.
Her team at Beacon and all of the others she called acquaintances, whereas Ruby would call them friends, had all opened Weiss's eyes to the world and she has seen it in an entirely different way than when she had when she entered Beacon on her first day.
Thinking of that day brought back all of the memories of the strange way it went. How she met the dolt that nearly blew them off the face of Remnant, running into her again constantly that day, and how the blonde and the girl with the black bow defended the dolt.
Thinking of this day brought a slight smile to Weiss's lips, which she quickly wiped away, knowing that she wasn't alone in the dining room. Her father sat at the head of the table, with Weiss's mother on his left, and Winter on his right.
Weiss's sister and mother were the only two people in the Schnee dynasty she didn't hate. Her mother was actually considerably kind and caring; At least, she is when her husband isn't around. And Winter; Weiss had always looked up to her. She was her role model, and Weiss had always wanted to be like her while the heiress was a child.
She still shares respect with her sister and mother considering they are the closest people in the family to being good. Her father, and many other cousins, uncles, and aunts on the other hand were a completely different story.
The dinner went by in silence as it typically did from what Weiss remembered. When the heiress finished her meal she excused herself from the table and went to her bedroom. Once there she sat on her bed and continued to think about her first day at Beacon.
She was so irritated by the girl with the red hood that day, and went on a tangent when Ruby Rose was declared the leader of Team RWBY and not the heiress herself.
But as the year drew on, Weiss came to respect Ruby. She still irked Weiss constantly with her childish nature, but the heiress does have to admit, Ruby is rather cute most of that time.
Weiss thinking of Ruby as cute made her cheeks feel warmer and she felt a strange sensation in her gut at the same time. She brushed away the thoughts of Ruby and both feelings went away. Weiss was confused as to why she felt so strange when the thought of Ruby. Then she had an idea.
She thought of Ruby again, and once more the feelings came back. It felt nice to be honest. She had never really felt this way before. Then it hit her like a truck... She had unknowingly developed a crush for the Rose girl.
Weiss Schnee, the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company, a high class woman raised to be as cold as the northern seas during winter, had fallen for a childish little girl who irritated the living shit out of her.
The sudden realization made the girl gasp and lose her balance, luckily she caught herself on her dresser. Taking deep breaths, she looked up at her reflection in the mirror above said dresser. She stared down the girl in the mirror for a long time, then eventually broke the silence.
"I can't believe that you of all people would fall for that girl!" She scolded her reflection. "What would everyone think if they found out? I don't even want to imagine what father would do." She glanced away and looked at her bed.
Some vulgar thoughts came to mind as she looked at said bed, thoughts about how cute Ruby would look laying in it without any...
"NO!" Weiss shouted at herself, shaking her head. "Don't be so lewd Weiss, you're better than that."
She opened her dresser and pulled out her nightgown. As she undressed and pulled on the sleepwear the Schnee girl walked over to her bed. She lied down and attempted to let sleep take her. It did eventually... After some time of thinking about Ruby Rose lying next to her.
A/N:
So, how'd I do? Did I do well or is there room for improvement? Let me know! And yes, it was a shorter chapter this time. Once again, setting up for more stuff coming in the future.
Also in the last chapter Harkness let Ruby know of his interest in aviation. Well I'm just letting y'all know that that is one of the things that my OC and I share, along with a few more that will make appearances later in the story. I know most people base OCs on themselves, or just create some random one. I'm somewhere in between. I'm including some things of myself in Harkness like my interest in aviation, becoming a pilot, and more to come in the story that I won't mention now. I will mention in the author's note at the end whenever I showed something in Harkness that is also something I do or intend to do.
And once again thank you to everyone that's still reading! Feel free to give me feedback, review, favorite, and/or follow.
Enjoy yourselves :)
