Ruby rested her head on Pyrrha's shoulder, so she could have a comfortable spot while looking at the cards in Pyrrha's hands. Pyrrha let Ruby make all the plays since she rarely played this when she was younger. Yang was just as skilled as Ruby in this game but she held back a bit to let Ruby win and hopefully make her smile. Weiss and Blake couldnt be more lost and Nora and Ren were doing really well for themselves.
"NOOOOOOOOO! MY GRIMM DRAKE, YANG HAVE YOU NO MERCY!" Nora cried into Ren's shoulder as Yang snickered.
"Shouldnt have declared war on my kingdom." said Yang.
It was Pyrrha and Ruby's turn to roll. Yang passed Ruby the die when Yang noticed something.
"Oooooh Ruby. Your one air strike away from dominating Nora's kingdom." said Yang with a sly grin on her face.
"NOO! Ruby! you wouldnt make the good people of Vacuo suffer like that would you?! screamed Nora in panic.
Ruby got off of Pyrrha's shoulder and rubbed her eyes a little.
"Uhhm... I dont know..." said Ruby softly . Pyrrha giggled a little.
"Please Ruby! We can form an alliance or something!" Begged Nora as Ren kept a blank face.
"Do it Ruby." said Jaune with a grin. But. Something about the first two words snapped something inside Ruby.
"What did you say Jaune?" asked Ruby.
"Do it. Just kill yourself." said Jaune plainly. Ruby's eyes widened a little in shock. She could feel some tears starting to build up at the thought of her friends wanting her to die. She saw all there expressions. They all had the expression a child would when they are expecting something cool to happen.
"W-what?" asked Ruby again, not wanting to believe what she was hearing.
"He said for you to kill yourself. Is you hearing alright Rubes?" Asked Yang.
"Come on Ruby! I cant stand to see you alive any longer!" Yelled Nora. Ruby's tears began to flow freely now.
"B-b-but...Why?"asked Ruby through her tears.
"If you want a quick death you could use crescent Rose on yourself. But if you want a nice few before you die you could probably jump off the roof of the dormitories." said Ren. Ruby couldnt believe Ren of all people would tell her that.
Ruby tried to back away but was stopped by Pyrrha holding her shoulder.
"Here Ruby you could use my sword to cut your wrists." said Pyrrha with a smile while handing Ruby her weapon. Ruby threw the sword away and curled up into a ball and covered her ears with her hands and shut her eyes.
"Shut up." said Ruby.
'Not Pyrrha...Pyrrha would never say that...' thought Ruby.
"Do it!" said all of Ruby's friends in unison.
"Shut up." said Ruby.
"Do it!" said the group again.
"Shut up!" Yelled Ruby this time.
"Do it! Do it! Do it!" the group started chanting.
"No..." said Ruby.
Ruby felt two hands shaking her but didnt want to open her eyes and see what it was.
"Ruby! Ruby! Its ok! Open your eyes." Ruby heard Yang say to her. Ruby opened here eyes slowly and saw Yang wrapping her in a hug with immense concern in her eyes. She looked around to the rest of the group and they all had the same expression.
"Yang...I dont want to kill myself..." cried Ruby into Yang's embrace. Hearing this Yang hugged Ruby tighter and began to cry lightly herself.
"Its okay Ruby. We dont want you to kill yourself either." whispered Yang. The rest of the group was dead quiet even Nora. The only sound emanating in the dorm room was the sounds of Ruby crying into her Sisters chest.
"What happened?" Asked Jaune , breaking the silence.
"I think she saw something that reminded her of suicide. Like an illusion or something. Its one of the side effects of her not taking her pills, I think she forgot to take some before her nap." Said Yang. Yang then turned to Blake.
"Blake, can you go get her pill bottle? Its underneath her pillow on her bed." Asked Yang never letting go to her sobbing sister in her arms. Blake nodded and left the room to get the pills.
Blake entered her team dorm and climbed on Ruby's bed to get the pills. When she lifted Ruby's pillow she found a orange pill bottle along with a knife with a red handle and thanks to a show Blake watched as a child she knew the knife was called a kunai. Blake took both the items and left the room.
Blake walked back into Team JNPR's room and gave Yang the pill bottle and decided to show Yang the knife after Ruby took her pills.
"Here Ruby, it will make you feel better." said Yang handing Ruby two pills from the bottle. Ruby took her head out of Yang's chest and took the pills and swallowed them dry, ignoring the chalky taste. Yang then picked up her sister who looked exhausted from crying .
"Pyrrha ,is it okay if Ruby takes a nap on your bed for a bit?" asked Yang. Pyrrha nodded her head. Yang laid Ruby on Pyrrha's bed and gave her a few comforting words.
"Its ok Ruby, im here for you. Take a nap , it will make you feel better." whispered Yang. Ruby put her head on the pillow and seemed to fall asleep instantly.
"Yang..." said Blake in a low tone so she could hear it and not to wake Ruby .
"I found something next to Ruby's pills that worries me..." said Blake pulling out the kunai from her pocket. Yang's blank expression didnt change.
"Yang...Is she?..." Blake couldnt finish the sentence. Ruby was the last person Blake could think of who would cut themselves.
"No, thats not what that knife is meant for. Believe me if she was cutting that would be the last thing she would use." reassured Yang. The rest werent so convinced.
"Yang, why else would she have a knife underneath her pillo-" Weiss was cut off by Yang.
"Look i dont want to get into it but that knife belong's to someone very important to Ruby." said Yang. The rest went silent.
