Blake woke up early in the morning finding her self to be lying on a surprising comfortable pillow and in her sleepy state thought nothing of it mostly because right now she could smell blood.

Getting out of bed Blake was hit by the smell of blood again so looking for the source Blake was drawn over to their resident psycho AKA Ruby making Blake think nothing of it knowing she did kill for fun or pleasure or food or all of them together.

Quickly the smell got too powerful so Blake decided it would be a good idea have a shower to try and purge the smell from her skin so it didn't stick with her for the day.

Upon walking into the bathroom she was again hit by the powerful smell of blood again except diluted by water and attempted to be masked by products so when she walked into the shower and saw the walls stained in blood along with the walls of the actual of bathroom covered in bloody hand prints making Blake nearly throw up in the toilet violently.

Even though she was used to death during her time in the White Fang seeing and smelling this much blood in one location was over powering.

"Hello Blake." A calm and clearly crazy voice said from behind Blake making the girl turn to see Ruby standing there with her usual grin on her face eyes hidden by the hood making Blake wonder what she was planning.

"What the hell is this? Cleaning blood off your self in our shower?" Blake nearly yelled but managed to keep her voice down low enough to not awake the other two.

"So I clean it off if it annoys you much." Ruby said waving a hand making Blake angrier.

"The point is your cleaning BLOOD from a HUMAN in our room and leaving it for us to find!" Blake now yelled throwing up again when the smell hit her again.

"Then get out of here now and come back in a few minutes and it will be clean." Ruby said walking over to the shower and running a hand along one of the blood smears and licking it up making Blake again nearly throw up at the sight.

"You truly are fucked up." Blake said walking over to her bed and flopping down on it trying to forget the sight of the bathroom splattered in blood.

"Well this is an interesting way to wake up." A voice said from under Blake making her realise her error.

They were sharing bed and she was sharing with Yang.

"ARGH!" Blake yelled jumping off the bed now realising she was still wearing her bra and panties only.

"Heh they usually don't react like this." Yang jibes offering a hand to Blake which she took getting up and still a little shocked after her morning tripped over her own feet ending up in Yang's arms making her blush and jump away, "yah they defiantly don't react like this." Yang said walking over to one of the draws pulling out some clothes and walking over to the bathroom but was stopped by Blake jumping in front of her.

"No I get the shower first." Blake said walking into the bathroom where she was met by Ruby standing in the room with her gold claw no longer on giving Blake a good view of a broken and burnt arm.

"Hello Blake, like what you see?" Ruby said placing the golden claw on the toilet lid and pulling out a bottle of black liquid which she applied to the arm making it start to sizzle and make burning sounds that with Blake's hearing sounded very painful.

"What is that?" Blake asked walking over and touching the liquid for a moment burning her hand badly making it bleed which for a change didn't even faze Ruby.

"It numbs the pain." Ruby said picking the glove up again and placing it on which made a clicking sound when she reattached it to her combat attire, "like I said the bathroom is clean so you can use it." Ruby said walking out of the room shocking Yang on the other side.

"Hey Ruby what you doing up?" Yang asked going to hug Ruby which she quickly side-stepped walking over to her window taking her seat.

"Yang please stop trying to be my sister I left years ago. If we are going to be in a team you're no longer my sister but my ally." Ruby said waiting for her team to be ready now.

After another twenty minutes all members of the team were sitting on their beds waiting for their rosters to be handed out.

"First we have combat training with Goodwitch till lunch then we have history with Port and finally Grimm studies with Oobleck and an optional class after school which is taught by Ozpin." Ruby said reading off the list she had been sent which she promptly sent to the rest of her team.

"Right and class starts when?" Blake asked looking at the list.

"It starts at 8am." Yang said not looking at the list but rather at a news report she just found.

"Well it's 7am right now so we have at least forty minutes till we have to go." Weiss said now looking at Yang's scroll in shock.

"Hey guys have you seen this report?" Yang said sending a link to the page to everyone in the team who all reacted in different ways.

The report was about Ruby and Weiss little raid last night, more accurately the after math of it.

"Last night a series of explosions were reported to the Vale Police Department which at the time matched the style of the Vigilante, but when the Police and HC arrived on the scene it was a grim scene with bodies and blood splattered all over place along with the burnt and burning corpses of the people caught in the blast."

"But injuries found on some of the corpses matched the description of the Bloody Rose so it is currently believed that the Vigilante and Bloody Rose met in the factory fought and in the end blew up the factory."

"One of the corpses has been identified as Junior, a local club owner with alleged connection to the criminal Roman Torchwick. The injuries he had taken matched those the victims of the Bloody Rose but were slightly different leading the HC to think there is now a copy cat of the Bloody Rose." The report finished leaving Blake looking at Ruby disgusted and Yang just disgusted with Weiss looking slightly green and Ruby non-phased.

"How could anyone do this?" Yang asked snapping the three out of their trances making them all watch Yang who was now pacing the room her Aura flaring slightly.

"You can think on it later Yang we have ten minutes till class." Blake said placing a hand on Yang's arm making Yang look at her and notice that Weiss and Ruby had already left.

"Yah."


Ruby and Weiss had decided to make an exit when Yang started to get angry making their way over to the class.

"Ruby." Weiss said stopping in the middle of the court-yard with the statue of the Humans standing over a Grimm making Ruby stop and look at the statue in disgust resisting the urge to smash the statue.

"What?" Ruby said angry for a change at the statue and what it stood for.

"We need to talk about last night and how fast it took of making me into a wanted girl already." Weiss said looking the girl directly in the eye which was holding back tears.

"We can talk later, right now I need to cool down before I go and do something I regret." Ruby said throwing another look at the statue before vanishing making Weiss take another look at the statue then reading the panel and getting a feeling of anger deep in her soul letting her senses take over and try to find the girl.

After looking around the school for a solid ten minutes she found Ruby sitting at the top of the clock tower doing something Weiss never thought she was see the Bloody Rose do.

She was crying.

Ruby the Bloody Rose who killed without mercy was crying about something.

"Are you crying?" Weiss asked walking over to the crying girl and sitting next to her.

"Yes I am crying." Ruby said simply letting the tears fall.

"Why?" Weiss asked taking off Ruby's hood to which she didn't reach to.

"Because of the humans who continue to oppress the Grimm because they don't understand us." Ruby said closing her eyes letting more tears fall with her ears flattened against her head in a sign a dog would do if they were sad.

"Well with your style of doing things it's not a surprise the people hate you." Weiss said making Ruby look at her with fury in her eyes.

"I SAID GRIMM LIKE US THE PEOPLE HATE BECAUSE THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND US THAT STATUE IS PROOF OF IT!" Ruby yelled eyes burning with anger and sadness in her eyes.

"Then why do you act like this? Killing the people making them fear us?" Weiss asked holding the girl.

"Because I want to lash out at the world that hates us." Ruby said looking back to the horizon.

"You keep saying us what do you mean?" Weiss asked curious.

"You, me, all the Grimm in the world we're hated because of what we are." Ruby said putting back on her hood and wiping her eyes returning to her emotionless state, "let's go to class its combat and should be interesting." Ruby finished walking off and jumping off the roof top and landing by the door to the next class.

"Right." Weiss said following suite shocking the student who she landed beside.


Upon entering the class Goodwitch walked over to the main stage and took to introducing her self as the teacher and a whole bunch of bragging about being one of the best combat teachers in the schools before ordering Ruby and one of the students called Jaune who she vaguely remembered from the first day and ordering them to basic combat.

"Now this is tournament style combat so when you reach 10% Aura you are defeated. Clear?" A nod from Jaune and a minor nod from Ruby, "good then begin."

Jaune was the first one to attack with a weak swing aimed at removing her head which was easily side stepped and grabbed the blade out of mid air stopping it not even cutting her hand, her aura powerful enough to stop any damage and in the blink of an eye disarmed him and sent a powerful punch to his face knocking his Aura down to 3% with hers not even flickering from 100%.

"Winner Ruby." Goodwitch said looking at the read out with shock on her face, "next fight Weiss vs Cardin." She announced the called pair taking the stage and fighting ending with a similar circumstances with Weiss winning hands down taking no damage.

The lesson want on like that with Team RWBY being unbeaten in combat followed by JNPR with only one loss and CRDL in dead last with no victories.

When it came to lunch Yang and Blake found them selves sitting together with Weiss and Ruby no where to be found.

Where they were was in the city looking for someone Weiss would allow Ruby to hunt for their lunch Ruby getting the main flesh and blood with Weiss taking some blood for herself as she was getting used to the better senses she got whenever she drank letting her 'wild side' out.

"How about him, the one mugging that lady by the telecommunication tower." Ruby said pointing to a man around the age of forty holding a women at gun point taking her money and trying to leave.

"Fine, him. Go." Weiss said making Ruby grin.

"You sure you don't want to come with me and enjoy it fresh?" Ruby then said still grinning offering out a hand which Weiss looked angrily at before walking off.

"Just get the stuff and be back!" Weiss said feeling her teeth elongate with anger.

"Yes my lady." Ruby said before vanishing and hearing a not so manly scream from the man with her better hearing then another scream from the women which was quickly silenced making Weiss think she had broken her promise.

"Don't worry she's not dead just knocked out, couldn't have her ratting to the cops till we were done." Ruby said dropping the body at their feet and carefully slitting his throat making him bleed into some bottles Weiss had provided her to fill that would last her at least a week.

"That's enough Ruby." Weiss said taking the bottles of red liquid and heading back to Beacon.

"See you back at Beacon." Ruby said before digging into her cooling meal.


After Ruby finished her meal she began to walk back up towards Beacon going through the city for a change to see how things had changed.

That was till she noticed a women wearing a black cape similar to Ruby's and wearing clothes that reminded her of someone she knew from so long ago.

The women stopped in her tracks after noticing she was being followed and turned to Ruby giving her a feral grin to match even her own and then vanishing an a flurry of black rose petals making Ruby know exactly who it was and scared at what it could mean.


When Ruby did get back to Beacon she found Yang and Blake sitting at a table in the hall, Yang chatting animated with Blake reading her 'Ninjas of Love' book and Weiss drinking her blood from a bottle reading a text-book they had been given by Goodwitch.

When Yang saw Ruby come over she quickly began to talk in hushed tones.

"Guys we should go after the Bloody Rose our selves!" Yang said making both Weiss and Blake look at her as if she was mad.

"Yang, think of it like this. We have been at this school for what three days? And you want to go after a killer whose been at if for what five years?" Blake said with Weiss adding,

"Not to mention this person easily took down many Hunters and Huntress with barely a blink according to reports so how would four first year students handle a seasoned professional?" Weiss asked taking a sip of her blood thinking it funny how she was sitting next to the very person she wanted to find.

"Yes I said go after and yes its crazy but think what we would be doing for the community no country if we found this mad man!" Yang said trying to inspire them.

It didn't work in the slightest.

"If you want to go after this person be my guest but I think I stand for the rest of us when I say we don't want to help." Weiss said looking Yang directly in the eye also getting a nod from Blake and nothing from Ruby who as always didn't care.

"Fine you don't want to help? What ever. I'm going to my next class." Yang said storming off to their history lesson in five minutes with Port and Blake following soon after leaving an oddly quiet Ruby with Weiss.

"What's up Ruby?" Weiss asked walking over to Ruby and like earlier in the day placed an arm around her to which Ruby didn't react to again.

"Something happened earlier that has put me on edge." Ruby said taking the arm off and walking away making Weiss run after her wondering what could put her on edge.

"Ruby please tell me what's wrong." Weiss said again with honesty in her voice.

"I saw someone I shouldn't have ever seen again." Ruby said continuing to walk.

"Who?" Weiss asked wanting to know who could shake her.

"Someone whose dead." Ruby said walking away leaving no room for question.


When Weiss arrived at the class she found Blake and Yang sitting around the middle of the classroom with Ruby sitting down the back of the room in the shadows so deciding to sit with the one she trusts sat with Ruby.

"So have I missed anything?" Weiss asked looking around the room and finding Cardin to be missing.

"Yang knocked out Cardin when he made a move on her." Ruby said making no move to look up from the table.

The class dragged on making Weiss wonder what she found interesting about attending this school in the first place.

"It was you secret desire for blood." A voice said making Weiss jerk up making Ruby look at her like she was the crazy one.

"Ruby do you hear a voice?" Weiss asked making her look at her with some kind of new respect.

"Tell me more after class." Ruby said falling back into her thoughts.

"Could it really be her?" Bloody Rose asked while Black Rose thought, 'it does match her semblance and it felt like her.'

"I know but I don't want to get any hopes up." Ruby though darkly to herself.


Who is the mystery lady? I will leave you to guess.

In case any of you forgot:

"Bloody Rose thinking."

'Black Rose thinking.'

"Ruby thinking."
