Chapter 10: Pretty Little Girl
A/N: Well considering No one voted for the poll I'll just go by my gut saying most of you will want it. Enjoy you inglorious bastards! Lieutenant Aldo Raine out. (not my real name to anyone who asks :P)
*Downtown Schnee (fucking names)
Considering Schnee town is just some fucking tourist attraction for the Schnee Power Company. It was mainly for the workers to live at since my father needed to keep a tabs on all of them since he doesn't trust them to release the secrets. "Want to grab something to eat?" Jaune asked since it was around noon. We stop at a small diner that was used by both tourists and the work-force so it was quite crowded. We sit ourselves at a small table that was kind of isolated from the chatter of everyone else. "Jaune I don't think I can take it anymore." I blurt out in a whisper.
Damnit Weiss you idiot what do you think he's going to say? "I know you can't take living isolated with just me Weiss. Look have you talked to your parents about why you can't be exposed to the world?" he responded with the question that had haunted me ever since. Why wasn't I able to ask? Was it because I was happily accepting the blind fact I was the secret to the world? Was it because my parents really wanted a boy but because of me they still cared enough not to leave me on the streets? I thought over it for a while before responding, "N-no… You think I should've?" He looks at me with worry before confessing, "Look, Weiss I'm sorry but I have to tell you something." I looked at him with worry. Does he like me? I looked at him with worry as he continued, "I was there when you were born. The reason why your parents kept me all these years was because I was their most trustworthy worker, I was to care for you since they were busy working. The reason why you are kept a secret is because, you're different from most girls." My heart felt like it had died. What do you mean different? How the hell am I different? "Weiss, most girls like you are unique in a certain way… *ahem* These girls are considered hermaphrodites by the science community." What the fuck is a hermaphrodite? And before I asked him.
He explained, "Hermaphrodites are basically females with male genitalia with me putting that lightly. They don't have a menstruation schedule and also doctors know very little about how it happens." I didn't know how to respond to that. But he kept continuing in a hushed tone, "Look I know all of this is confusing but I guess I might have to get you a few more biology books so you can fully understand. Look Weiss if anything were to happen to your parents they told me that I am to come out as their son and watch over the company plus you." He looks at me trying to stop his tears from flowing before asking, "Weiss, can I accept an apology from you? I am sorry for holding this back from you alright, that is the reason why you aren't allowed outside unless I am there with you and that is why no one knows of you except the workers." Do I accept it or do I just leave him? Crap Weiss think you dolt. "I d-don't know what to say…" and as I exclaimed I was shut off from the world.
*At Schnee Town's Hospital
I wake up slowly looking around finding myself in a hospital room, I turn my head to see these wires hooked up to my arms and legs. I sit up and see Jaune sleeping in the corner of the room. Jaune you idiot, thank you for telling me this. I silently unplug the machine that recorded my heart beat and then remove the cords strapped up to me. Fuck it I'm leaving this hell hole. I put on my clothes and leave a note for Jaune before sneaking out. Luckily the hospital is mostly filled with workmen so they know me. I find Cardin surprisingly and ask him, "Cardin, I need your help."
*QUE THE FADE TO THE PRESENT AND EVERYONE AT THE TABLE STARING AT HER IN SHOCK! Ruby's POV
I look at her with my mouth wide open as she continues, "And then he betrayed me to live on the streets. luckily Michael took me in as a young child since I was still 15 at the time and had me pay him back when I was 18, he died not knowing of my secret though luckily." I close my mouth and then ask her, "Wait, so whatever happened to your parents?" She looks at me tearing up before answering, "I received word that my mother had died. My father is still running the power plant, but I am not sure about Jaune." We eat silently for a while before Nora quickly tries to remove the sadness, "Well then, I guess it's time to get going guys? I'll pay and we can head off." She calls for a waiter and then leaves money and a tip for the staff. We get in the car before Yang asks, "Nora, how many of those energy shots you got left?" Nora looks at Yang with a smirk before answering, "I got 5 cases since while I was "at the bathroom" I snuck out and grabbed 3 more cases." Yang grabs one case and shoves it into Nora with the look that she makes whenever she wants to make a bet. "The whole case in 4 minutes for 700 yien?" They both shake on it and Nora chugs them down as fast as she can. "Jeez Nora you drink like a monster!" I stare in awe before reminding her, "Guys, remember we still have to get to the houses I'm pretty sure Geoff wanted us there by this Friday!" I pull out my scribe and notice that it's Thursday. "We only have until tomorrow to get there." Nora quickly pays Yang 700 yien after dropping the case and pushes all of us inside. "Alright guys! Next stop your new lives!" I watch her quickly start the car up and stomp on the gas pedal.
