Chapter 7 : Wild
Weiss
This morning, we received a new mission from Ms. Glynda. A couple of Ursa terrorized a village near the Emerald Forest. As we arrived at the forest, Ruby's hair started to rise, sensing danger.
After what happened yesterday, Autumn will be place under Ms. Glynda heavy guidance. I guess she deserve it, though I expect Professor Ozpin to expel her. But I think that would be enough.
We keep our eyes open and be cautious. It's not the Ursa we worried oabout. We worried about the human Grimm. Although its lack of intelligence, it's strength can take down a Deathstalker and I'm sure there bound to be more.
Suddenly, Ruby started to hiss. The Ursas appeared from the bushes. Ruby charged forward and with a single strike, the bears collapse onto the ground. Taking down the Ursa are much easier. The three of us barely do anything.
"Well, that was something. At least we finished our mission earlier than before," I rolled my eyes. But what Yang said was true. We rarely accomplished any mission this early. As we were about to head back, I heard grunting behind me. I turn to look and it's coming from Ruby. She hold her head tightly. Her hands became claws. I wanted to help her but then she said, "Go away from me!"
"But..." Yang hasn't got any chance to finish her words when suddenly Ruby turn into her Grimm, "I said go awaaaaaayyyyyy-AAAAAHHHHHH!" She started to attack us. She slash her claws towards us but mostly it hits some trees.
"Ruby, what are you doing?! It's us, remember?!" Yang yelled but its useless. She acted nothing like the Ruby we know. She's more like the other Grimm out here. Wild and uncontrollable. She doesn't even listen to her sister.
Yang
I don't know what's wrong with her. She keep trying to strike us and we keep dodging her attacks. I know I need to stop her but I don't want to hurt her. I keep yelling out her name but she won't listen. She grew wilder and wilder. I heard Blake shouted at me, "Yang, you have to knock her out!"
"I-I don't want to hurt her!" I stuttered. But seeing that she won't listen to me, I have no choice but to punch her. As she was about to strike, I punch her with a mighty force from Ember Celica. Ruby flew few yards from us, knocking down trees. I sprinted towards her, hoping that she's okay.
My attack has put her into unconsciousness. She return into human again. I carry her on my back. Suddenly, we heard howls of Beowolves. Looks like the commotion we made attracted their attention. Weiss said, "We have to get out of here." Blake and I nodded. We quickly left the forest to the academy.
Blake
We brought Ruby back to our dorm. Weiss wrapped some bandages on Ruby's head. The blow from Yang's punch might hurt her and could probably damage her brain. But I don't think it would be that serious. Yang stroke her hair gently and onward to her bandaged head.
I told Weiss to follow me to the infirmary to get some medicine. I slowly close our dorm door. We walk towards the infirmary with silence took over. Then, Weiss said, "Why does she did that?" Silence took over once again. I look down on my feet and mutter.
"I don't know, Weiss. I don't know."
Yang
I didn't mean to hurt her but I had no choice. I touch her bandaged head. This is where I punched her, I thought. I keep stroking her hair, not noticing that she started to open her eyes. I feel a slight relief when she opened her eyes but suddenly she burst into tears and hug me tightly. "I'm sorry, Yang! I'm really sorry! I-I didn't meant to!"
I froze in her embrace. I don't get what she means but she continued, "I-I saw what happened! I-I attacked you! B-but I couldn't control myself! I-I'm sorry!" My eyes widened as I heard what she said. I couldn't believe what I heard. She saw but she can't do anything?! But I wouldn't want to push her away. She'll broke into pieces if I ever did that. I hugged her back and murmured, "Shhh, it's okay. I don't blame you. Please don't cry."
Ruby
I started to calm down when I heard her murmurs. She always did that whenever I cry. Just like what mom used to do, though my memories of her quite obscure. She stroke my back and keep shushing me. I know she won't believe what she heard. I slowly leave her warm embrace. I feel a jolt of pain in my head. I groaned in pain. Suddenly, Yang planted a kiss on my forehead. The pain slowly go away.
I smiled at her and she grin back at me. I always knew I could count on my sister. Although she sometimes act like a jerk, I know she always care about me. Suddenly, our dorm door open and stood Ms. Glynda. "Professor Ozpin would like to see you both," she said. Both of us look at each other with a confuse look but none of us protest. Yang help me stand on my feet. I hook my arm over her neck and we follow Ms. Glynda to Professor Ozpin's office.
Yang
Both of us enter the room and find Weiss and Blake inside. I set Ruby on the couch and I sit next to her. Professor Ozpin look at each of us. Ms. Glynda handed him a document. I started to get impatient, "Why did you call us, professor?"
Another quick glance on the document, he slid it towards us. I look at my sister and saw fear within her eyes. I look back at the file and slowly open it up. Weiss and Blake join in to see what's inside but not Ruby. She curled herself on the couch.
It contains information about Ruby. I keep observing it but I gasp as I saw this word; incomplete... What does it mean? "Professor Ozpin, what's the meaning of this?"
"I hate to say this but Weiss, Blake and Yang... Ruby is unstable."
A/N : In this AU, due to Ruby being experimented, her memories of her past life started to fade but not all of them. She doesn't remember any happy moments but her traumas. Thus, causing her to suffer mentally. Also, she saw what she did in her Grimm form but she may not remember what happened entirely.
