Chapter 3: Gentle Awakening


"Guilt is a deadly feeling… it kills in a different manner… slowly… painfully. If not treated with care it will become a reason for finding your own death"

Winter was in the outer garden that lay in the school grounds, it was a peaceful place. Many green grass and lots of birds and trees were in the background of the place. But all of that was irrelevant to her, she had shut it all out. Why? Because she had not slept well, every time she closed her eyes the pained expression of Qrow came into her mind. 'I went too far yesterday I had no right to tell him that, but still…"

She took a slip of the tea she was having; coffee would kill her right now. She would never forget that there was a time when she and Qrow could hold a conversation without ending it with a discussion, it saddened her that even in all her attempts to try and reach out to him when the disaster happened, and even now, all he did was shut her out.

"Winter?" A familiar voice tuned her out of her thoughts, Winter looked up to look at what seemed a younger but more innocent version of herself. Her sister Weiss was a gifted girl, at her young age and she already had dominated most of her glyphs.

"Good morning Weiss, take a seat." Winter gestured towards the seat that was across from her.

"Tea?" She asked her sister, which nodded.

"Is everything alright Winter, you look-"

"Everything is fine Weiss, in fact things could not be better" She lied between her teeth.

Weiss noted, however, the slight pain in her sister's eyes but decided against pushing the matter further. She took a slip of the served tea, savoring it. She did wonder why her sister had appeared all of a sudden yesterday when everything had occurred, she assumed that was why she had called her out here.

"I talked to father" Winter began, and immediately a cold shiver went down Weiss' back.

"Do not worry sister I calmed him down, everything will be ok" Winter calmed her sister down.

Weiss let out a breath of relief "Then, why did you call me out here, or better than that why are you here?"

Winter chuckled "Can't I come to see how my sister is doing?"

Weiss smiled "That would be nice I admit, but you only have time to see me in holidays and even then it's hard to get in touch with you"

"Well, you are correct" the smile on Winter's face faded and she looked at Weiss with a serious expression that made her sister stiffen a bit.

"Weiss, listen I've heard that you and your team have been exemplary and have finished all the missions that have been given to you, am I correct?" Winter asked taking another slip of her tea.

Weiss nodded proudly "Yes! Winter I have a very wonderful team, apart from our dunce of a leader, all my teammates are marvelous. We've even helped in some very important missions."

Winter smiled at her sister's enthusiasm, it was nice seeing her smile and laugh like a normal teenage girl, back home she hardly even spoke to anyone. "So I've heard, though I have also heard that you have a bad habit of getting into… troublesome situations with that team of yours."

Weiss laughed nervously, "Well…"

Winter sighed "It's fine Wiess, but you should also know where your limits are and try not to push yourself over the edge. The world is a much rougher place that what you girls have seen." That last part was said mostly to herself than to her sister.

Weiss looked at her sister and could see that she was troubled "Winter what's wrong?"

Her sister took another slip from her tea "I was called her by Prof. Ozpin, to speak about how Atlas is going to offer its protection during the Vytal festival." Winter lied

"Speaking of which you have been practicing your glyphs right?" Wiess just smiled.

Qrow looked at Ruby in the eyes, all his time in the deepest parts of this world could teach you so much. But one of the things you come to know and master is the ability to know when a person is hiding something, he had always had a knack for figuring people out, so when those times he was faced to do hard tasks, that ability came in handy. Though he had never thought he would have to use it here, much less with his niece, she was clearly panicking. Her eyes jumped to every single place but to him, though he wasn't sure if it was ok to press the issue a little further.

"Kid, you don't have to tell me all the details just yet. After all you've had a rough night." He said to her to calm her down.

Ruby looked at her uncle with relief "Rough night?"

Qrow nodded "Yeah, the nurse told me that you were restless all night long, nightmares apparently. Care to remember any?" he looked at her with knowing eyes.

Ruby clearly remembered her dream, but… was it alright to tell him? He is her uncle after all maybe- just maybe it would be ok to tell him after all who else could she trust? She took a deep breath "Uncle Qrow, I-"

"Good Morning Miss Rose" Prof. Ozpin said as he came inside without knocking. He looked at Qrow with a smile on his face, clearly knowing he interrupted.

"Ah, I did not see you there Qrow. Here to check on your niece I presume." He said as le laid his coffee mug on the table.

"Sure you didn't, and I just came here to bring her breakfast." Qrow said as he got up and headed for his weapon.

"Ever the caring man I've known" Prof. Ozpin looked at Qrow with a smile filled with bitter sorrow and gilt in his voice.

"I'll pass by your office later Oz, I'm out of liquor. Take care Kid, tell me whenever you're ready." Qrow said as he left the room.

Ruby nodded as she saw her uncle leave the room, she looked over to Sora and could see that he was in fact breathing normally again, also he seemed as if his pain had ended. She wondered how much longer he would take to wake up.

"He is bound to wake-up in any moment now" Prof Ozpin said looking at Ruby with knowing eyes.

Ruby blushed noticing she was staring at Sora, "A-Ah well, I was just wondering that" she smiled at him.

"What you did was a very noble act Miss Rose, you saved the life of a young man you did not even know." Ozpin began as he sat down where Qrow was.

Ruby began to sweat, one thing was talking to her uncle but it was another thing entirely to be talking to Prof. Ozpin. "Well, I did what any other Beacon student would do to save someone"

Prof Ozpin smiled at her faked enthusiasm, 'She still is just a young girl after all' "Don't forget to eat up, you need to regain your strength, you have my permission to miss on classes today but I would prefer if you went, you wouldn't want to worry your teammates after last night, would we?"

"Yeah that's true" Ruby remember the incident last night with Wiess and Blake, and internally groaned. She did not want to face that right now, after all she was still a little groggy. Ruby just nodded to Prof Ozpin and she reached out to the box that her uncle had brought in.

She stopped her hands from moving and mothed what was in her mind "Will he really be okay?"

Prof. Ozpin got up once again "Miss Rose I will not insist on making you tell us what you know about the boy just yet, but it would be beneficial for him, as well as for all of us if we knew who he was and where he is from."

Ruby looked at him astonished, he had her all figured out, just like her uncle. "I-I really don't know where he's from Prof. All I know is that it's not from around here" she said just giving him the tip of the iceberg.

But that seemed to be enough for him "Do not fret Miss Rose, if all goes well he will wake between today and tomorrow." He said as he began to get up from his seat.

Just before he reached the door he turned around and faced her "You should know Miss Rose, you talk somewhat in your sleep, well at least when you have nightmares it seems" and with that he left the room and let Ruby mend her thoughts.

Ruby was left alone in the room, she bit her bottom lip and sighed. "I messed up" she said as she brought her hands to her face, she didn't expect her dream to be so vivid to make her talk in her sleep. So, thanks to that now she had to think about what she was going to tell Prof. Ozpin and her Uncle Qrow.

As things were it appeared she had two options, number one was to lie to them, tell then a blunt up lie that he was from a faraway place she did not know and hope that they believed her. And then there was option number two, telling them the truth and there lay yet another problem, how do you explain to someone that this boy was from another world? How do you explain that you have been having dreams about this boy for months now? How do you explain something that not even you comprehend? Just thinking about it all made Ruby's head hurt.

And then came another issue that made her groan, her team. And that's just it, HER team, could she really keep on this secret from them? She had until now, she had planned it… until it became reality, how would she explain it to everyone? All this wanted to make her rip her hair out, she needed to sleep more, but first she had to eat.

Once done with her food, Ruby began to lay down once again and got comfortable, she closed her eyes wondering if her dreams would keep on appearing. But she just smiled even if it all blows in her face in the end, she was definitely happy to meet Sora even if he hadn't met her yet, and with that thought she drifted away to sleep.

Yang was walking towards her classroom, she had heard about what happened with Ruby from their Uncle. Ruby had always had a big heart for those in need, she had always wanted to be a hero, the one who saves the day. Yang smiled at the thought but also was worried, Ruby cared… genuinely cared for that boy, and that only made things harder for her. She was thinking about telling her sis that she knew everything, that she had read it in her… what to call it?... Diary?... At first, she thought that she would only be mid upset, but now she definitely knew that she would be.

"Hey there Yang" A voice interrupted her as she walked by the outer grounds deep in thoughts.

She looked around and saw no one, her sides as well and nothing, maybe she was just imagining things again, she had to lay of Ren's pancakes.

"Up here" The voice said one again, now that voice sounded familiar.

Yang looked up in and saw that Jaune had been hung up on a tree, well at least there was something you saw everyday: Jaune being bullied. She smiled and came up to the tree, and hit it hard with a roundhouse kick, making Jaune fall hard flat on his face.

"Thanks" he said as he got up.

"Cardin?" Yang said, more of a statement than a question.

"Yep" Jaune simply said as he dusted of his clothes.

Yang smiled and started walking off with him towards class, "When did you guys come back?" she asked as they entered the building.

"We came in yesterday night, we heard about what happened with the Grimm I didn't think that they would come so close to the school." he said expressively.

"Yeah none of us expected it, but team RWBY was there to save the day." Yang said pumping her fist up.

"I heard it was Prof. Goodwitch who did most of the work." Jaune corrected.

"Yeah but it was us who-" She cut herself out remembering what had happened.

Jaune looked at her in confusion "Who what?"

Yang remembered that what they did was in fact a secret until Prof. Ozpin said otherwise, no one else knew about their intervention to save the boy Ruby was so interested in. And in that moment, she remembered her current predicament, and groaned loudly making Jaune jump a bit.

"Is everything OK?" he asked while taking a step back, fearing that she might take out her frustration on the closest thing… or person.

"No everything is not OK" Yang looked at him with a frustrated glance.

She needed help, but who else could she ask for help? It's not like Weiss could help, her relationship with her sister was… different than what Ruby and her had. Blake was out of the question, heck she didn't even know if she had a sister. And it's not like Jaune could say- WAIT. Yang stopped her advance abruptly and turned to Jaune, and an idea formed in her head.

"Jaune, you have seven sisters right." She said more of a statement than a question.

"Yeah" he said as he stopped to turn to her.

"All girls?" Yang asked, causing Jaune to wonder at the sudden interest.

"At least fiscally yes. Why the sudden interest?" he wondered.

"Just a little question. What would your sister do if you told her you read her diary without her permission?" She asked more excited that she could finally ask someone else about her current problem.

"You read Ruby's diary without her permission?" He asked as if she had done the most horrendous thing known to mankind.

"Guess I was too obvious, wasn't I?" She said as she looked down.

Jaune had only in rare cases seen Yang like she was at the moment, when a strand of hair falls out for no reason, when they fail a mission -which was only once- or when Ruby is upset with her. In any other case, she could be called Miss Positive, she always looked for the bright side of things, but here she was now asking for his help on sister issues.

"Just a lil' bit. But yeah I may have done a similar thing with my sisters a couple of times" Jaune answered as he scratched his cheek.

"How did they react?" She was almost afraid to know the answer.

"Well it depended on the sister actually, one time I got the cold shoulder from one of them for a month, another one of my sisters hit me, and one other had me change laundry duty with her for a year." He said as he remembered the days.

Yang sweatdroped, this wasn't the things that she wanted to hear. Ahhhhh, why did she have to get so curious and look at that dairy? It's also Ruby's fault for not hiding it well, and always taking it on her missions as well. Sure she had told them that they were memos so they could check their flaws as a team but they didn't as heck have that many flaws.

"But-" Jaune continued upon seeing her despair.

"They all thanked me in the end for telling them and not keeping it to myself. And Ruby's a kind-hearted person, I really doubt she'd hate you for something like that, just explain it to her." He smiled as he tried to ease her of her internal conflict.

Yang thought about that for a moment, and he really was right. Her sis was too kind for her own good, sure she may get upset but it's better for her to know than let her stand alone and stay by the sidelines, waiting how she's going to react to this boy's arrival.

"Your right" She smiled at him and started walking the opposite direction of the classroom.

"Wait, where are you going?" Jaune asked.

"Nurses office" She yelled back as she started to sprint, feeling her legs lighter than she remembered.

Ozpin was looking out to his school form his office, he was waiting for the rest to arrive, the meeting they were having was interrupted by the recent turn of events that had taken place yesterday. He did not want to ruin their day twice but this meeting had to take place, the Vytal festival was days away and he had to make sure everything was prepared. He turned when he heard the elevator ding, Qrow stepped out into the office.

"Mind telling me why you stopped her from telling me? Because if I recall correctly it was you who told me to find out any info on him" Qrow asked a bit irritated.

"Calm down Qrow, I did not wish to speak about it right after she woke. We have time until the boy wakes, then we can ask him ourselves if he is in fact who we fear he is, I do not wish to fret Miss Rose." Ozpin said as he took a slip from his mug.

"You think he's involved with the Queen?" Qrow asked cautiously.

That though had come to mind, after all Qrow had just told them that her right hand was in the academy at the current moment. But after seeing Ruby's fond interest in the boy he thought against it, after all if he was with them they would have already moved out either to save or eliminate the treat.

"We will find out once he awakens. On the other matter, have you found out anything else?" Ozpin asked as the elevator dinged once again. From it came Winter and Glynda.

Upon seeing Qrow, Winter hid her gaze from him. She knew that all he needed was a little glimpse from them to know that she was feeling and thinking, it was a nasty habit that he had learned in the underworld. So, she did what she had learned to do over the past years and ice her feelings and sentiments away deep inside her… even though it hurt like hell.

"I am sorry that I have to call you again, I know you have important duties Winter. And I know you had to suspend class Glynda. But we cannot leave this matter unattended any longer." Ozpin said as he took a seat in his chair.

"You were saying there was a spy here in the academy Qrow" Glynda was the first to renew the interrupted conversation.

"Like I said not just any spy, it's the person who nearly killed Fall" Qrow explained as he took out his liquor.

"How much information do you have on them?" Winter asked him.

"Not much, all I know is that there is more than one, and they are bound to make their move during the festival." Qrow explained.

Ozpin nodded at the comment "Which is where you come in Winter, I was hoping that James would have come. But it appears he wanted you to know about everything that is going on. You do understand what that means, correct?"

"I do Professor" Winter said as she stood as straight as she could.

"Really now" Qrow mocked.

"Qrow…" Winter warned.

"Despite what the world thinks, we're not teachers or generals or headmasters. The people in this room, the leaders of the other two academies, we're the ones that keep the world safe from the evils no one even knows about. That's why we meet behind closed doors, why we work in the shadows. So, you tell me Winter do you really know what that means? Or are you just a messenger and pawn of James?" Qrow said coming in close to Winter.

Ozpin just looked at the two of them analyzing the situation, as tough and rough as Qrow may be, he too was in doubt of either if Winter was with them or just following orders around. James may have wanted Winter to be in the know of it all, but did Winter want to know?

"Qrow, do not let personal feeling get in the way of what is at hand, you may not trust me fully to have me in the know of things but I can assure you and professor Ozpin that I am here on my own behalf." Winter explained.

"What do you mean about that Winter?" Glynda asked.

"I was given a choice by General Ironwood, if I wanted to come in his place or not. He told me that if I said yes, there would be no way out. But if I said no, I would have to live in the sidelines forever." Winter said with a grim expression.

"Any objection to that Qrow?" Glynda asked the man in question.

"I just don't trust people I can't figure out" he said as he took some steps back to his original place.

Now that surprised Ozpin, Qrow could figure out almost anyone out mostly if they were an allay. This was certainly a first hearing from him that, but at any case it appeared that there was something else that inspired Qrow to let Winter out of this, he had looked defeated just moments after he had found out that Winter was going to enter this 'group' he still wondered if what happened years back was still affecting him.

"Ozpin?" Glynda asked, shaking him out of his thoughts.

"Is everything alright?" She came up close to the desk.

"Yes Glynda, I was just wondering about a few things. But now that we all are on the same page; Winter I'm sure James would like to send no less than an army here. But I would ask you to please be discrete, we are trying to keep the people out of this situation, and sending almost all of Atlas' army would only create more uncertainties than a sense of protection." Ozpin asked kindly

"I understand professor I'll try and see what I can do about it, but you know General Ironwood better than me, you know how he gets when he wants his way." Winter explained.

"I'm afraid that I do, and all I ask is that we not make a commotion out of this, uncertainty brings fear and fear brings the Grim, I do not wish this festival to be a battle ground. So, I only ask of you to do what you can to not cause an uproar." Ozpin said as he took a lip of his coffee.

Winter nodded at his petition and was about to retort when the communicator in Ozpin's desk rung.

"I'm in a middle of a meeting I c-"

"I'm sorry Professor Ozpin but you told me to inform you of any changes the boy had" The nurses voice interrupted him. At the mention of the boy all heads looked up and awaited the news.

"Yes please, continue" Ozpin said

"He's awake" And just at the sound of that Ozpin got up from his chair and bean to walk towards the elevator with Glynda and the rest at his side.

xTxTxTxTxTx

Some moments ago…

He was falling….

Deep…

Fast….

Dark…

'Is this… what death feels like? ´ he thought.

He had a mixture of emotions flowing inside him… Sorrow… Sadness… Emptiness… and most of all Fear… and Guilt… It was his fault, he just wanted to prove himself, prove himself not only to the rest but to him that he was capable of more. That he would never again fall into the hands of Xehanort, but… in the end it just…

'I'm a failure, I deserve to die… I failed the masters' exam… I failed King Micky… Master Yen-Sid… Goofy… Donald… Riku… and…' the mere thought of her name hurt like hell, he wondered how she would react if- well once they found out that he was gone. Maybe they would have expected it from a failure like him, he was the one who let the world die, he was the one who didn't give it his all from the start. If he had only not hesitated the moment he saw the clearing, maybe, just maybe he could have saved the world. But then again… the past didn't exist only the present, a present where he was guilty of letting a world die… a present where he would not be anymore. And even if he did it would be a present where he didn't belong.

'I guess… this is my price for failing… for thinking so darn highly of myself' Sora let his body just keep on falling he never knew if his eyes were open or closed, all he saw was darkness. He just let himself get drifted away by the same darkness that had consumed him along with the world he had let die.

'-n't' he felt his eyes open, he heard something- someone, calling out to him. He tried to speak but his mouth didn't move.

'don't deserve to die…' there was the voice again. Who was it? Where was it coming from? Was it the same voice which had given him the choice to wield the Keyblade?

'Come on!' he heard the voice more clearly now, it was a young girls voice.

'Come on! Please!' The voice was closer, he reached out his hand instinctively to try and reach out to said person, when he felt warmth in the tip of his fingers, and suddenly he felt a strong grip on his hand.

'Sora!' and as he felt the contact and heard his name he was blinded by a sensation he thought he would never feel again… Light…

White… that's the first thing that came to his eyesight once he awoke. Where was he? And the most shocking question he was alive? He tried to turn his head but it hurt just thinking about the motion, his whole body, muscles and bones hurt. He groaned, he needed water.

"Oh my!" Exclaimed a voice to Sora's side, in his line of sight came the view of what seemed to be a medic, he opened his mouth wanting to ask for water but only groans came from it. But apparently, the nurse understood all that and fetched him a glass of water with a straw in it, he drank four glass' of water surprisingly fast. The nurse had said something about having to do a call, he tried to sit up despite the pain that surged through his body. Why was he here?

His eyes widened remembering the events that had taken place, the world, the Dark Hide, the Dark Horns, the Keyhole, the World… his failure… he felt as if he was struggling for air, he was breathing hard, it felt as if no air could enter his lungs. He tried to calm down but to no avail, he tried to get up to see if standing would help his predicament, and mustering all the strength he could, and ignoring the pain he stood resting his hands and back on the window stool. He began calming down and to analyze the room he was in, that's when he saw it… red hair. His heart beat began to go a mile a minute, here in this room was another bed with another person sleeping peacefully in it. He could see that it was a girl but her face was facing the other way so all he could see was her deep crimson hair, it looked painfully familiar, could it be?

Sora swallowed the knot in his throat, he took the first step towards her, then the next, and the next, until he was right above her. He could hear his heartbeat beating franticly at his chest, he raised his hand ready to wake the person.

"Kair-" he never got to finish the word as the young girl who was in the bed turned towards him, with eyes more than open, he noticed that they were silver.

"Ahhhhh!" The girl yelled rolling to the opposite side of the bed- well if only the bed was much larger- unfortunately for her she was met with a hard-solid floor.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you" he said trying to reach to the girl on the other side of the bed.

"Ow, ow, ow" She said as she began to get up, rubbing her back.

Sora blinked a bit, taking in the girl he had in front of him, she was in what appeared to be a skirt and a black blouse with red trimmings. To his surprise, she actually seemed smaller than he initially had seen her, in bed, 'well that sounded awkward'.

"I'm really sorry, I really didn't mean to scar you or anything, it's just that you-" he stopped his explanation when he saw that she was staring.

"Umm, do I have something on me?" He asked a bit nervous, he never actually had experience with girls, never understood them either.

"Huh? Oh! Sorry, it's just- I-we -I mean all- what am I even saying?" She said covering her face with her hands. 'Calm down Ruby Rose, explain the situation to him' she said to herself as she regained her composure. She noticed Sora was still looking at her, and it made her blush a bit.

"I-I'm Ruby, Ruby Rose. It's nice to see you back on your feet. Not that I've ever seen you on your feet actually, it just that-ahh, nice to meet you" She said as she let out her hand for a shake, with a timid smile.

Sora smiled and reached out as well "I'm Sora, nice to meet you Ruby" he shook her hand and realized she had a stronger grip that she let out for, making him flinch a little. Give the guy a break he was not expecting that.

Ruby noticed she squeezed a little too hard, and immediately began to apologize "Sorry! Sorry! I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to" she said as she got closer to him.

Sora laughed a little "Don't worry Ruby, your hands are soft but you sure are strong." As he said that Ruby felt her heart flutter a but 'Darn Hormones' she thought, she needed to get out more, maybe she could have advice from her sis, scratch that bad idea. She shook her head a bit.

Sora looked out the window to see that this was a world he had never come to, he was just about to ask when he felt all the strength in him go out like a candle. He was ready to hit the floor but someone caught him before that, Ruby grabbed him by his shoulders before he could hit the floor.

"You should lie down again, you barely woke up" She said as she took him to his bed.

"I guess you're right" Sora said a little groggy.

What happened next was something that they were bound to remember for a very long time, Sora tried to ease his weight, but he took a wrong step tripping Ruby mid-way to the bed, luckily the bed wasn't far away so she fell on her back on top of the bed feet almost reaching the floor. But as fate would have it Sora was still weak and with no one to help him he also fell down but managed to sustain himself with his hands.

He had closed his eyes in any case his arms would give-in and he fell face first on the bed. He opened his eyes slowly, only to be met with a sight of a very red Ruby Rose lying beneath him in-between his arms, he could feel her breathing on him, she was close, heck he was close. Remember how his heartbeat was when he first saw her hair? Well he could swear that it was twice fold or even more the fast it was beating right now. Unbeknownst to him Ruby was in the same conditions.

And then the door opened without giving them any moment to fix their current predicament "And is Ruby a-WOAH!" Yang Xiao Long was standing in the doorway along with Prof. Ozpin, Prof. Goodwitch and her uncle Qrow, oh and Winter, great, things could not get any better.

"Oz?" Qrow began.

"Yes Qrow?" Prof Ozpin continued.

"You better call in that nurse again." Qrow said as he began cracking his knuckles.

"I'll do just that" Glynda said behind him taking out her scroll.

Sora just feared for his life in that moment and began to sweat cold, he pushed himself as hard as he could from the bed causing him to fall back first on the floor "Sorry! Sorry! I- Well-Just" he tried to explain but nothing coherent came out of his mouth.

All eyes may have been focused on the boy, but Yang looked at her sister who was still lying on the bed, perfectly still. And the look she had on her face was one that she would never in a million years forget, yes, she was redder than her name but… she was giggling softly, and she looked as if a dream had come true... heck maybe it had, after all her sister had finally met Sora…
