School started and as a high schooler, I think it'll be hell for me to balance my schedule for writing so I gotta put some thought into that… I just hope I will have free time. Anyways here is chapter 7… it took longer for this chapter to come out since I got kinda lazy and Writer's Block returned with Procrastination in the bundle too xD

Also, I got to play Metro: Last Light recently after so long and (don't spoil the game because I'm not done with story) I was listening to some awesome and emotional music from the game so why don't you guys look its soundtrack up. I prefer Last Light (Piano and Guitar Versions), Echoes of The Past (Guitar Version), and Into Sunset (that's seriously what it's called if some of you don't know)…


Ruby

I looked down at the pair of blue eyes aiming right at me. Why haven't I figured it out sooner…? I love her. I thought and grinned. "I'm glad you found me Ruby… I was so cold out there, when I got lost I-I didn't know what to do and-"

I stopped her from finishing as I intertwined my fingers with her pale fingers on the hand she had raised. "I'm here now Weiss… we're not out there anymore." I said and tightened my hold accidentally, making her wince. Her hand was so cold, how long had she been out there in the blizzard?

"How did we get here, this is the Vale hospital and isn't that far from where we were?" she asked.

I shook my head. "The blizzard made things hard for me to see but I realized that you were close to the city… also, I found your weapon out there." I used my other hand to grab Myrtenaster and showed it to her, and then I placed it on a desk next to her. "Weiss… I'm sorry for leaving you out there; I should have thought more carefully and not have gone ahead. It was so stupid of me to do that." I lowered my head, not wanting to look at her.

I felt a hand being placed on my shoulder. "Ruby, look at me." I did what she said and was staring at a calm white-haired girl. "Just promise me this, we stick together okay?" I gave her a nod and she smiled. "Ruby… how long do I need to stay here?"

I thought for a moment and tried to remember what the doctor had told me when they had finished treating her wounds. He had said that she needed to be hospitalized for a week and then she can go back to Beacon but it's really another week and a half of being in a bed and taking it easy. I explained to her the recovery process as I thought about it, my partner only nodding in confirmation which seemed strange to me. "Um… aren't you a bit… well angry about this since you won't be able to do anything?" I asked nervously, bracing myself in case she snapped.

The answer she gave me instead was a shake of her head. "I understand completely, I'm still terrified from… dying though." Weiss replied and trembled. "I couldn't… feel anything after so much of my blood poured out. That's all I could see… red, then I wasn't there anymore and I saw-" She stopped herself and a single tear was shed.

"Don't cry Weiss..." I hugged her tightly, "it's over now, and we need to stop thinking about it."

I can feel her arms wrapping around me and tightening. "Don't leave me okay?"

I gasped softly, my eyes widening a bit and then I whispered to her ear. "Never... just as long as you do the same."

She replied in the same way. "I will never leave you Ruby... I'm your partner right?"

I pulled back a bit, my head tilted to the side and my expression worried. "Just a partner?" I asked, almost eliciting a whimper.

She smiled and pulled me back. "No you dunce... I mean more than that actually; I will be your own lover."

I chuckled. "Okay miss romance, we don't need to go that far… I want to keep this as a secret from the others."

Then my worst fears came true. "What secret Ruby?" I turned around and noticed that my sister was standing at the door, a huge smirk marked on her face. "Did I just hear you two talking like a couple?"

Sweat beaded off my forehead. "U-um… no you didn't sis, you were probably just daydreaming of that." Great job on stuttering Ruby. I thought and mentally kicked myself in the head. I decided to change the subject before she catches on quickly. "So why are you here, I thought you were in class with Blake?" I asked curiously, my nervousness gone in a flash.

She tilted her head sideways a bit for a second and tilted it back and shrugged. "We couldn't just continue going to them if we were worried about our teammates the whole time, also the cat's here too." At least they didn't find out about Weiss and I. Well… so I think.

Behind her, the door opened and a familiar black-haired girl walked in. "Hello Ruby… how's Weiss doing?"

I turned to the ice queen and wondered why she hadn't been talking, that was until I noticed her eyes were closed and her breathing slowed. "She's sleeping but doing okay… Weiss just needs to stay here for a while." I said softly to the cat faunus. "You wouldn't believe how long I've been here… maybe-"

"For hours we know Ruby, you told us that you would be here for a while last night." my sister said, finishing the sentence for me.

"Oh." All of a sudden I yawned. "Man thanks for reminding me of how long I've been here Yang… I forgot that I stayed up all night until now. If it's alright with you two, I'll be taking a nap now."

"But Ruby, there is something we need to tell you and it's important." Blake said, her tone serious.

I fought myself to stay awake. "W-what is it?"

"The ice queen's father is coming after he heard what had happened to her."

My eyes widened and I was back in full gear. "WHAT?! BUT WHO COULD HAVE-"

"Really? I mean, it's not like anyone saw you carrying someone bleeding to death towards the hospital." Yang said sarcastically.

"But the blizzard was barely dying out when I got… oh… I forgot there were people getting out of shelter when I was in town."

"At least no one posted something about that on BaseBook or something." Blake replied, doing the same as Yang and putting sarcasm in her voice.

Yang laughed. "That website sucks Blake!"

"Yeah… it does."

I grew confused. "Wait, if no one did that then how did-"

Outside the room, we heard a man shouting and it only grew louder which meant he was getting closer. "Where is my daughter, she better not have gotten into any shenanigans or there will be consequences!"

Blake sighed. "Here. He. Comes." Yang and the cat stepped away from the door and it slammed open.

A white-haired man with a white business suit marched in, towering over Weiss and I. He is so big. I thought and gulped. "Are you Ruby Rose?" he asked, anger present in his voice.

I was growing scared, it sounds like he wants to kill me. "Yes." I said with all my courage mustered up.

He lowered his head to the same level as me and gave me an ice cold stare, blue eyes not daring to blink. "How did my daughter end up here because of a mutt. like. you?" he asked coldly.

I couldn't speak right. "We um… went uh… shopping?"

Yang saluted me and said in a voice filled with courage. "It was an honor being your sister Ruby… but you're dead."

I gulped. She couldn't be any more right than now.
