Author's Note:

Ruby: RWBY is completely owned by Rooster Teeth, this story has no affiliations with the actual story plot

Weiss: Big words, dunce

Ruby: S-shut up! *blushes

Yea…anyways, 3 AP (Advance Placement Classes) and an honors pre-calculus class is harder than I thought, hurray for junior year high school!

Ruby: Dude. You just started this week.

It's hard okay?!

Weiss: mmhm, totally *walks away*

Ruby: Wait for me!

*Sigh yes anyway I'm a lazy person so don't be surprised when I don't update often, enjoy


The now five-man member of Team RWNJR (idk) walked quietly through the snowy woods, an uncomfortable silence in the air, especially strange considering Nora was part of the pack. Ever since the encounter with Weiss's father, Weiss has been far too quiet, especially when Ruby clumsily trips or gets her hood stuck on a tree branch, Weiss would simply shrug it off and offer a hand, her voice lacking of any annoyed expression of even a scoff when she got up, it started to worry Ruby a little bit.

Jaune broke the silence "Where exactly are we going?"

Ruby gave him a small smile, "Oh, we're gonna go back to the Patch, and pick up Yang, maybe rest up there little, then head our way."

"We know the plan, Ruby," Ren remarked, "but I mean do we know where this path leads to?"

Ruby took his word like a ton of bricks, "Oh, of course! Umm..this path's gotta lead to another city right?"

Ruby froze when she felt cold eyes pierce her back, no amount of aura able to protect her from Weiss's icy blue eyes, "You don't know where we're going?!"

Ruby twiddled her thumbs together and gave Weiss a goofy grin, "Well last night got me a bit, flustered, I just kinda went on it with it you know?"

"That's not the point you dolt!" Weiss's stare somehow became stronger, "We've been walking since we woke up, and we only gone farther from the main city of Atlas!"

Ruby felt a annoyed,"Well, you're from here! Why didn't you say anything!?" Ruby retorted angrily

"Because I'm not who basically kidnapped me from my own home! "The two were basically holding a screaming contest now, the rest of their team, standing by awkwardly, weapons ready to break them up when it gets messy.

"You didn't get kidnapped!" Ruby said through gritted teeth

"You were practically pulling at my dress, which I am for some reason still wearing and begging, 'Weiss, Weiss don't leave me please!'" Weiss mocked Ruby's voice, even wiping an imaginary tear from her cheek.

"Because I wanted to get both teams back together!" Ruby yelled back, tears starting to form.

"Wake up Ruby! One's at your house, wallowing probably, one's nowhere to be seen, probably plotting against us at this very moment with the White Fang, and one's DEAD!" Weiss screamed at the top of her lungs. Jaune taking most of the harsh words, he bowed his head down in sadness.

Ruby took a step back and looked at the ground, shock how Weiss could say words like that, Ruby felt her rage morph into a hint of sadness, "there's always a chance they'll come back." She said with a small voice, shuddering a little bit when she recalled the events right before it turned all white.

Weiss was shocked at Ruby's words, why she managed to say these things that will obviously never come true, 'WHO ARE YOU?!'

Ruby looked up to see Weiss shivering, "W-Weiss?" she reached out only to get it smacked away, making her recoil her hand back.

"Why are you so hopeful?" Weiss said suddenly not bothering to look up, still shivering.

"What?" Ruby took a step forward, cautious as she approached her partner

"Why do you make promises you can't make?" she muttered. Her fingers clenching together

Ruby stood in silence

"TELL ME WHY!" Weiss screamed, her face bolting upright revealing tears streaming from her face. Ruby took multiple steps back quickly, deathly scared of Weiss's blue eyes now glowing vividly.


"Our family loves you very much, Princess." An image of a man holding a happy smile, reached out for her.


"STOP IT!" Weiss screamed at particularly no one her aura flaring up and causing the wind to pick up around the area and dropping the already freezing temperatures lower.

"Weiss!" Ruby called out but she already knew she was far too gone. Ruby, desperate to snap her best friend back to reality she fought against the quickening winds, drawing Crescent Rose out and using it as an ice pick.


"Don't be so naive dear sister, I'll always have your back" another voice echoed inside her mind


"SHUT UP!" Weiss continued to yell, she was losing herself fast, this newfound power was quickly overtaking her mental fortitude.

She was slowly coming to terms with herself, the snowstorm was even starting to slow down, allowing Ruby to take bigger strides towards the broken soul. Out of the blue, One memory triggered inside of Weiss's head


"Don't worry sweetie, I'll always be by your side!" a motherly smile emerged from Weiss's head, a hand reaching out for her.


"You liar." she muttered

"YOU LIAR!"

Ruby almost got knocked all the way back from where she was if it wasn't for Crescent Rose firmly planted on the ground. She looked back to see the rest of her teammates grabbing to any boulders or trees hoping to stay on the ground. She saw her partner a few feet away on her knees grabbing at her hair and shaking her head rapidly, eyes shut tight and tears streaming down her face.

"LIARS!ALL OF YOU!" She screamed,"YOU LEFT ME ALONE!I'M ALL ALONE!" she let out heart-retching sobs as she fell to her knees

Ruby just at the sight of her loved one's broken state fell into tears. Absent-mindly she let go of Crescent Rose and rushed in with new found speed.

'So cold. Why is it so cold? W-Why would you all leave me?! I JUST WANT TO BE LOVED!'

Weiss flinched when she felt another body collide with, hers entrapping her in their arms. The snowstorm dying down quickly, making voices sound audible again.

'Huh?' her mind could only take so much more, 'Who is this?And why is it warm?'

Her vision cleared up quite a bit revealing black hair with rose red ends. 'Ruby?' The area seemingly appeared far too bright as it should. Was she dying?

"You're not alone." she whispered the voice barely reaching Weiss's ears.

No. I'm alive you don't feel warmth when you warmth. I want it...I need it. But if I cling on too long...'

The feeling of abandonment. The dead silence of the house, the sound of pen scratching the surface of paper her only companionship. Waiting every day for hours by his door, asking if he wants to play with you. There was only eerie silence.

"Liar, I'll always be lonely," Weiss muttered, she barely had any control of her body let alone what she was saying.

Ruby tightened her hug, Yang would be jealous of how crushing it was. She will never leave this girl again, never experience the pain of being abandoned ever again.

"No" she choked out, her voice very shaky, she dug her face into Weiss's shoulders, already turning wet, "I won't let you. Never again."

Weiss chuckled, a broken, humorless, chuckle while staring into nothingness. "You'll leave, eventually you all will."

Ruby shook her head, determined to prove her wrong, "I swear on my life, Weiss, I will never, ever leave your side." Ruby could barely speak, but was determined to give Weiss a promise she can cling onto.

Weiss let Ruby's words sink in for a moment. Out of everyone she has met in her entire life, Ruby was the one to never stop clinging on, she saw past her cold, dark heart seeing a simple girl. A broken girl that required love and warmth just like any other living person, love that has has been taken away from her far too fast. She felt warm, she felt safe. She slowly brought her hands up to Ruby's back taking in as much warmth as her tired body will let her. The snow-storm has all but stopped, revealing the rest of their team beginning to let go of any anchors they were holding onto.

"Y-you promise?" Weiss asked in a child-like voice. Ruby almost burst into tears again at those words, those sweet innocent words that, in the past were simply replied with false claims. Her childhood that was taken far too fast from her, so many promises given and broken just as fast.

"Cross my heart and hope to die." Ruby signed an X at her heart sealing the promise

Weiss allowed her eyes and body to relax into the embrace.

'Why is she so warm? This reminds me of…' she quickly stopped herself before she breaks down again.

"Why? "Weiss mutters.

"Huh?" Ruby responded.

"Why are you so determined to stay by my side?" Weiss let one last tear slide off her cheek before letting her eyes rest. Ruby and Weiss remained silent for what felt like an hour.

Ruby hesitated for a while until words just flew out of her mouth

"Because I fell in love with you." Ruby whispered. She braced herself for a response but received only soft breathing. She extended her arms back, and saw a sleeping Weiss, some tears still left down here cheek. Ruby couldn't help but smile and the sleeping girl, taking in the pure beauty before her. Her lovely snow-white hair flowing freely by her side as well as the fullness of her lips. Her face was noticeably lacking of any conflict instead seemingly at peace her expression seemed very neutral. Just the thought of why anyone dared to abandon such a beautiful girl such as her made Ruby's blood boil.

'How can anyone be so beautiful?' Ruby wanted to ask Weiss, but was answered by soft snoring. Ruby giggled and went to pick her up, but was rewarded with surprising weight.

"Oof!" she grunted when she almost dropped Weiss while picking her up bridal style, 'How am I supposed to pick her up when we get-' Ruby blushed furiously and shook her head, 'dumb Ruby! You can't even confess when she's awake and you expect her to marry you?!' she scolded herself.

"Hey guys?" she called out. Her teammates quickly approaching the struggling scythe wielder , "little help?"


"When do you think we can go in?" a man asked, adjusting his bionic leg.

"We've been tracking this dumb girl and her team for months." Another voice spoke up.

Glowing amber eyes stared into the scene, scoffing at the sight of Ruby's team still struggling to pick up the petite girl. She smirked, " Patience, both of you. However there is a slight 'change' of plans." She pointed directly at Weiss.

"The Schnee girl, I want her as well." She walked back and worth for a while, "Contact Adam and request as much White Fang there is available." The thought of all that raw power just on her fingertips made her smirk grow wider.

"The ambush will take place tomorrow."
