I own nothing. Enjoy!


Blake jumped from the top of the tree she was hiding in. She scanned the surrounding area, looking for any sign that she had been followed. Seeing that she was indeed alone she stood and proceeded further into the forest.

"Good, she isn't following. Now I can have some peace and quiet."

"Who isn't following you?"

Blake jumped and spun around to face the origin of the voice. She felt her face go pale when she saw that it was Ruby hanging upside down from a tree, and holding a bloody shovel.

"Uh, hi Ruby. What's with the shovel?"

"Well, Nora and I were playing hide and seek with Ren and Juane, and we kind of lost them. In the ground."

Blake opened her mouth to ask another question, but she slowly closed it. Ruby stared at Blake with a raised eyebrow.

"RUBY! I think I found them! Bring the shovel!"

Ruby spun around as Nora exploded from a bush. Blake took a step back, as the entire situation was creeping her out.

"Okay Nora, I'll be right there, just need to discuss some stuff with Blake."

The red head nodded and dove back into the bush, Ruby turned around to see Blake giving her a weird look.

"So, what are you doing here Blake?"

"Well, I was trying to get away from Yang so I could read."

Ruby nodded and gave Blake a salute.

"Good luck with that then, I'm off to save the boys."

Ruby then vanished into the trees, leaving Blake feeling more more exhausted than when she left the dorm.

Continuing deeper into the forest Blake reached into her pocket and pulled out a small book. She slowly began to flip through the pages, trying to find her place, and then she slammed into someone.

"Can you please not run into me, it is not polite."

Blake stepped back and shook her head, she then looked into the tired gaze of Weiss. The girl seemed as if she had been working outside all day. Blake looked down and felt her spine grow cold when she saw that Weiss had a body bag behind her. Catching her gaze Weiss waved a hand.

"It's not what you think, it's filled with sweets I am trying to hide from Ruby."

"Then why are they in a body bag?"

"Biggest one I could find."

Blake groaned as she rubbed her forehead, she could feel a headache starting to form.

"Why is everyone acting so crazy today?"

"Well, you are in Ruby's half of the forest."

Blake flinched, looking to Weiss she could feel dread filling her mind.

"What?"

"Yeah, this is Ruby's forest. Everything goes, even the most insane thing one can think of. Best not to play Hide and Seek here."

To push her point Weiss pointed behind her to a large sign. It clearly stated 'RUBY'S ROOST' in bold red lettering.

"So, I need to start running?"

Weiss began to chuckle as she picked up the bag and slung it over sher shoulder, she gave Blake a small salute before walking off.

"If Yang knows you're here, you can't run."


Blake ran, faster than she had ever run before. She had one goal in mind, to reach the border between Ruby's Roost and the regular forest. She could not let Yang reach her, but according to Weiss' warning, it was already too late.

"Like heck its too late. I am already way ahead of where she would be."

"Are you sure about that?"

Blake froze, and then proceeded to trip and slide across the ground, slamming into a tree. Pulling her aching face out of the dent she caused she slowly turned and looked up. Yang was sitting on one of the many low hanging branches, reading a newspaper.

"Curses, how is it that everyone but me knows how to use this stupid forest?!"

Yang smiled as she folded her newspaper, tucking under her arm she turned and jumped down from the branch.

"It is simple Kitty Cat, you don't have an imagination."

"Yang, you will never get me to believe that an imagination will allow you to break the laws of physics."

"Yet you see Ruby do it every day."

Blake bit her lip, she had to give Yang that one, she slowly stood as Yang inched closer.

"Yang, I am not going with you, I just want to stay home and read."

Yang chuckled as she slapped a hand down onto Blake's shoulder. Blake eyes widened as Yang's face contorted into a look of mischief.

"Sorry Kitty, but you have no choice in the matter. Ruby bought us those tickets and we are going."

Yang the started to drag Blake through the forest and back to the dorm, the faunus tried desperately to grip anything to get herself out of the blonde's grasp. She found to her horror that she couldn't.

"All I wanted to do was read!"


Ozpin stopped dead in his walk and turned towards the forest. Glynda stopped next to him and raised an eyebrow.

"What is it Oz?"

"I don't know, but I think I just heard a student cry out in despair."

Glynda turned in the direction that Ozpin was facing, she put a hand to her ear and listened closely. She heard the sound and turned to Ozpin, shrugging.

"Sonds like a cat being forced to take a bath to me."

"Well then it probably is nothing."

Ozpin and Glynda turned and continued their walk, passing by two strangely shaped rocks on the ground. One of the rocks moved, revealing itself to be Juane. His head was the only thing sticking out of the ground.

"Hey Ren?"

"Yes Juane?"

"I don't think they're going to find us any time soon. Do you?"

"Nope."


Another chapter completed! I hope you enjoyed!

I don't know how this chapter got started, all I thought was Blake trying to find a place to read.

A question I asked myself was why Ruby's shovel was bloody.

Again I hope you enjoyed.

Have a nice day!
