Ghosts
Weiss was cold, her back hurt from hours of leaning against a hard stone wall, and she couldn't stop yawning from two days of barely sleeping. She was, in short, really regretting indulging her partner again. Sure, two weeks of Ruby willingly studying with her would be nice, but was it really worth this? She was becoming less sure every hour. She decided she would try to end this again. "Can we please go back to the dorm? There's nothing here. There's no such thing as ghosts!"
"Of course there is, silly! And I know they'll be here. I can hear the moans at least once every week when I'm coming back from my night training sessions." Weiss sighed. Ruby had grown as a team leader, but she was still incredibly childish in some ways. Like, for instance, thinking that nobody would connect the fact that her "night training sessions" coincidentally happened every night before the cafeteria was missing half its cookies. Weiss knew exactly what was happening. Someone was leaving a window open in this classroom sometimes, and Ruby's sugar induced haze was mistaking the breeze for moans. She could prove it, too, if Ruby hadn't freaked out every time she tried to go in the room. Something about how "The ghosts will get you!" Which is how she came to be stuck on this incredibly stupid stakeout. She tried to ignore her irritation, closed her eyes, and started counting down the remaining time in her head.
Thirty six minutes twenty nine seconds later, Weiss heard a noise that completely shocked her. There were very distinctly moans coming from the classroom across from them, and they were very clearly not coming from the wind. She felt nails digging into her arm as Ruby tightened her grip on her.
"See? I told you they were real!" Ruby whispered.
"Ruby, I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this. Stay here, I'm going to go check it out." Weiss whispered back. Ruby's face turned to panic, and she refused to let go of Weiss' arm. She gently took off Ruby's hands and crept towards the classroom. She felt bad leaving her partner clearly terrified, but solving what was causing the noise would help Ruby more than letting her cling. There had to be a legitimate explanation for it. Ghosts didn't exist.
As she got closer the moans got louder and louder, and even she started to get a little worried. Obviously, ghosts didn't exist. The whole concept was absurd. But if they did exist, which they absolutely didn't, then disturbing them probably wasn't a great idea, right? She was getting very, very close to turning back, simply to be safe, when she heard something under the moans. Her blood ran cold, and she turned and sprinted back to Ruby. "You're right, they're ghosts, we need to leave now." Weiss said breathlessly as she pulled Ruby up and started moving towards the door. Her reaction clearly scared Ruby enough that she was perfectly willing to run away with her, and Weiss didn't stop until they were back to the dorm.
"I knew it! I knew they were ghosts!" Ruby said triumphantly.
"Yes, you were right. And they're probably very dangerous ghosts. Let's avoid the whole area at night, okay?" Ruby nodded, clearly having no desire to go anywhere near that again, and Weiss breathed a sigh of relief. Neither one of them was ready to deal with what was in that room. Because ghosts didn't exist. What she had heard was far more terrifying than any ghost. Something she wasn't sure she would be able to stop picturing for weeks. Four small words, in a very recognizable voice, whispered under a loud moan. "Oh, Blake, don't stop!"
