Silver Eyed Blood

Chapter 11

As Ruby ran though the dark forest, she wondered what would happen to her. If the tales her mother told her when she was little had any value, she would be cursed to forever fight and kill for blood. Sunlight would kill her. Garlic would hinder her to the point of being defenseless. The thought of it all was enough to being Ruby to her knees.

She couldn't live the life she envisioned. Weiss, Yang, Blake, everyone would hate her. And they had every right to hate her. She had risked everyone's life, all because she wanted a life that was impossible for her to have, much less deliver. And because of her, Pyrrha had a tail instead of legs, she wouldn't be able to fight ever again, Jaune hated her, Ren and Nora probably hated her for endangering them, and everyone else, and she couldn't even be with her older sister, or her lover. Ruby curled into a ball, and started to cry, her tears seeping into the cool, soft earth beneath her. As she cried, she thought of Weiss, her soothing voice, her beautiful blue eyes, she kind nature that Ruby had fought to let shine.

"Ozpin, please, you have to help us. If we don't find Ruby soon, who knows what will happen to her. I can't lose my baby sister, I won't let it happen." Blake held her girlfriends hand while she talked to Ozpin. Blake couldn't help but notice that Yang's heart was beating a million miles an hour. She could almost taste the sweat coming off her. "Ms Xiao Long, I understand your concern. I went though the same thing when I was your age, but now is not the time for rash actions. Ms Rose is confused and scared, Mr Ark and Ms Nikos are the same way, and keep in mind that Ms Rose is the most dangerous person we know. If we rush into this, one or more of us could be hurt or killed."

Yang was taken back by Ozpin. "How could you have gone though the same thing, Professor? We all thought Vampires, and what ever Pyrrha is were mythical creatures. What's going on?"

Ozpin looked at Pyrrha, eyes closed, two legs drifting aimlessly on the water. "It's difficult to explain right now. All that matters now is that we get Ms Rose back, and get her thirst under control.

Now, I have a type of Dust that will render her immobile for a time being. I'll need your help Ms Xiao Long, as well as you Ms Belladonna. I don't Ms Schnee will be joining us. I saw the look on her face when you returned from trying to reason with Ms Rose."

"Then lets go. If we hurry, we might find Ruby before sunrise. We can't let her burn."

"Calm down Ms Xiao Long. Sunlight won't your sister. The worst that could happen is that Ruby has to find shelter in a cave. Sunlight won't kill her, it'll just hurt like a bad sunburn. And we can't rush into these things. It'll take time and patience to recapture Ruby, and with only three of us, this will be-"

"Four of us. I'm coming too." Everyone turned around to see Weiss standing the doorway, Myrtenaster in her hand. "I can't let Ruby go. Not after everything we've been though together."

"I'll go too. If you'll have me." Everyone spun around to Jaune standing up, Crocea Mors at the ready. "It's my fault Ruby's out there alone. I said somethings I shouldn't have. Please. I need to make up for what I've done."

As Ozpin tried to speak up, Yang cut him off. "Fine Jaune. But don't think this fully makes up for what you've done. Assuming we get out of this in one piece, you still have me to answer to." All Ozpin could is nod. "Five huntsmen. Well, I've seen people pull of crazier before. Let's go."

As Ozpin led everyone into the woods where ruby ran into, he felt a twinge of guilt. He had an idea of who caused this, and he prayed with every bone in his body that he as wrong. If he was right, then their troubles were only beginning. "Ozpin, this is where we found Ruby." As Ozpin snapped back into reality, he looked up towards where Yang was standing. "Good. Now, we need to call out to her. Ms Schnee, I think you may be the best one to call out to her." Weiss nodded.

"Ruby! Please. We have Professor Ozpin with us. He said he could help us." Nothing. "He was able to help Pyrrha. She got her legs back. He can help you. He can help us!" As everyone waited, they heard a quiet snap behind them, turning around to find Ruby, with her silver eyes now red. Ruby looks at Ozpin. "Can you really help me Professor?" Ozpin nodded. "All you have to do is trust me" RubyRuby shook her head. "I can't trust anyone anymore. Leave now, before I hurt you." Weiss took a step towards Ruby. "You won't hurt us Ruby. Your not like that. You help people, not harm them." Ruby stood there, trying to control herself. "That was before Weiss. Please, I can't control myself for much longer." Weiss inched closer to the girl who saved her from her own demon. "Ruby, please. Let us help you."

Ruby began to shake, opening her mouth, revealing her fangs."Forgive me" Ruby suddenly vanished, only to appear behind Yang, dashing for her neck. "Ruby!" Yang took a quick jab at her little sister, only to find it didn't even phase her. With a single powerful punch to the head, Yang was knocked to the ground, out cold. As Ruby began to move her head close to Yang's neck, she felt a sting on her cheek, only to find Ozpin and his cane three inches away from her face. Ruby knocked the cane out of his hand, and with a single push, set Ozpin flying towards a nearby tree

"Ruby, please stop this. This isn't you. You have to fight it." Ruby turned to look at Weiss, her pale skin almost glowing in the moonlight. She was even more beautiful then Ruby had seen. "Join me Weiss. Become my mate, and we can be together forever." Ruby held out her hand. "Be with me forever my love." Weiss looked at her girlfriend, trying to take in everything that she heard. "No. Your not thinking straight Ruby. I can help you" Ruby lowered her arm. "The only way you can help me now is in death!" Ruby suddenly lunged at Weiss, only to be stopped by a wall of ice. "You shouldn't have done that." With a single kick, the wall of ice shattered into a million pieces, leaving Weiss stunned.

She raised Myrtenaster to defend herself, only to have her rapier knocked out her hand, falling into the ground next to her. Ruby pushed her prey down to the ground, barring her fangs, savoring the kill. Weiss had a look of pure terror and horror on her face. The girl she loved, the girl who had saved her, was now a monster.

Weiss closed her eyes, waiting for her painful death. Weiss suddenly heard a CRACK! As she opened her eyes, she saw Yang wrestling with Ruby, although it was obvious that she was losing fast. Weiss ran to grab Myrtenaster, praying she could help save Yang and Ruby. As Weiss reached her weapon, she heard a loud scream. She turned around to find Yang on the ground, her arm twisted behind her back, clearly broken. As Yang fell to the ground, Ruby moved to close the gap between her and her feast, when suddenly she couldn't see. She cried out in pain, as she moved away from her prey, trying to clear her eyes. Weiss looked up to Ozpin with a vial of silver Dust in his hand./p

"Ms Schnee, get ready to freeze Ms Rose, this will get ugly fast."

As Weiss readied Myrtenaster to freeze the monster before her, Ozpin threw the Dust in his hand, breaking the vial, covering Ruby in a silvery substance. As she cried out in pain, Weiss shot a beam of ice toward Ruby's legs, freezing her in place. "Ms Rose, I'm sorry for this, but it's for the best." Ruby looked at Ozpin, fury and hunger in her eyes. "LET ME GO!" Weiss suddenly shot a beam of yellow at Ruby, electrifying her, leaving Ruby paralyzed. "Let get her back to the hospital."
As Ozpin tended to Yang, he noticed someone missing. "Mr Ark? MR ARK!"

"Here, I brought help." As Weiss turned to the direction of the voice, she saw Jaune, Nora, and Ren running towards them. "Guys, over here. Ruby's incapacitated, and Yang has a broken arm. Nora, help me with Ruby. Jaune, Ren, help Ozpin with Ruby." As everyone rushed to help, they failed to noticed a woman dressed in red, a strange smile on her face, as she melted into the darkness.
