Chapter 4 : Suspicion and Doubts
Regarding the scar, the trio started to suspect that Ruby is hiding something. Not to mention about her sudden change in behavior. Plus, she disappear every full moon. As her sister, Yang has no choice but to spy on her sister. Blake and Weiss will try to cover her absence.
Awake from her deep slumber, the first thing she do is visiting Headmaster Ozpin. Ruby didn't realize she was followed, close the door. Yang quietly lean her ear on the door, trying to hear their conversation.
Ruby sit on the chair, facing Ozpin. The man still busied himself wit hhis paper works. After a final check, he keep the papers inside his drawer and face Ruby.
"How do you feel today, Ruby?"
"Fine, although feel a bit sore..." She hold her neck, a pang of pain hit her, causing her to whimper. She try to ignore the pain. Headmaster Ozpin hand her some painkillers, which she swallow it whole.
"If you keep this up, you'll end up..."
"Dying? I know," she interrupts. A pang of guilt coursing her mind, thinking that she offended her sister. Ozpin sigh.
"You don't have much time. The more you wait, the more chances your life will perish," he say in a worried tone. This time, Ruby sigh.
Ruby is...dying? Judging from her frown, she doesn't like what she heard. Her sister's dying and she doesn't know about it? Tears fall down to the floor. Yang never cry before but when she does, it's hard for her to stop. She cover her mouth with her hand. She silently cry outside the headmaster's office.
Yang heard a clicking sound from the door. Lucky for her, the door opens outwards. "Sometimes I feel sorry for you, Ruby. Such a young age to be risked to death. Aren't you afraid?" Professor Ozpin's voice is heard.
"If it is for my friends safety, I don't mind death as I will die myself," the huntress said. Yang cried again as she heard what her sister said. Ruby's footsteps begin to distant away from her. The blonde enters the nearest bathroom and cried till the fullest. She doubted her sister too much, not noticing that she's in a brink of death.
Yang couldn't sleep nor close her eyes. She remain awake even though the clock strikes 12 midnight. She still thinking of what she heard that morning. She has yet tell Blake or Weiss but she's sure they won't be happy either.
Ruby is next to her. She's the one who demanded her to sleep with her tonight. Seeing the small figure, her heart is broken. Thinking that her sister will die anytime, she silently hug her sister while she cry.
That night, Yang pull her sister into a tight embrace, afraid that she'll lose her in her sleep. Finally, she manage to put herself into deep slumber, still embracing the small, red figure in her bosom.
