Well… there is nothing to say so here is Chapter 11….

Ruby

I stared at the now descending sun from the tree I climbed. It was truly a beautiful sight for me… a calming sunset that I never had because I would get too busy to watch it go down over the horizon. "It's beautiful," I said aloud. The amber color of the sun reminded me of Blake's beautiful eyes. Blake… she was all I thought about during the day. Blake and how she was doing without me around. I didn't want her to worry about me; I could last out here if I just stuck to high ground.

I felt strange for some weird reason, and I looked down to see that my pale human flesh was replaced by black fur. Great… just what I needed in a peaceful time like this. After a few seconds I was back in what I liked to call my Beowolf form.

I sighed and said to myself, "What did I do to deserve this?" I absolutely hated being a Beowolf, or part Beowolf since I still had some human qualities while I was in that form. Even though it was my second time turning into this form, I began to hate it after my first time. I didn't want to see that I had fur instead of skin, or crimson eyes, or fangs for that matter… I hated it all. No benefits. No advantages whatsoever. It was simply a curse.

The sun already passed the horizon and now the sky began to darken. The moon was coming up now and I began to notice the stars in the midnight blue abyss. "I can't sleep," I said to myself and I began to do things I would do when I didn't feel tired back at Beacon. Those things would be looking for familiar constellations like the big dipper or the little dipper, and then when I eventually get bored with that I'd read a book with Blake about… I forgot she wasn't here with me. I sighed and looked up at the endless blue sky once more before I drifted away into a deep slumber.

My eyes opened slowly to see that I was not on a branch of the tree. Instead, I was in a dimly lit room, and I could barely see even a few inches ahead of me due to total darkness. I tried to move, but I felt something restricting my arms. I looked at my arms to see that they were chained to the wall. Panic kicked in and I tugged as hard as I could, but it wouldn't budge. I sat there staring at the ground, feeling hopeless until I heard a familiar voice. "Ruby." I looked up to see someone familiar walk from the shadows towards me.

I realized it was Blake. My eyes widened, but before I could say anything she asked something in such a cold voice that I never thought she would say. "How does it feel to be chained like a monster?" I was stunned, she was waiting for me to answer her question, but I felt hurt from her cold voice. It was like she thought I was a monster.

Finally I spoke, but I had trouble talking. "B-Blake…" I started, but she lifted up a hand, signaling for me to stop talking. I guess she didn't want me to answer anymore.

"You're a freak… a monster that doesn't belong in society," Blake said.

Tears flooded my eyes. "Why are you saying these things to me, don't you love me?!" I exclaimed. She laughed.

"Love… you have got to be kidding me. I only did that so you wouldn't feel bad about yourself after I realized who you are," Blake replied, "No matter now. At least you're chained up now like you should have been before. Take care Ruby."

With that she turned around and began to walk away, fading as she walked deeper into the darkness. My eyes widened, not believing what I just witnessed. Blake hated me. I looked down. "Is everything she did for me a lie?" I asked to myself thinking that I may have the answer. The light above me suddenly turned off, leaving me in total darkness… I guess I should just close my eyes.

I opened my eyes and noticed that I was back on the tree. It was dark out. I fell asleep from the looks of it… so it was dream after all. I sat up and looked around. I couldn't see the ground from up here and I didn't want to find out what was going on down there at the moment. I looked down at my arms; they were back to their normal pale skin. "Just sleep, Ruby," I said to myself, beginning to close my eyes until an abnormal gust of wind blew the leaves and made me shiver. I lost my chance to sleep. "That's great… now I don't feel tired anymore."

After a few minutes of deciding, I grabbed Crescent Rose and began to climb down towards ground level. I dropped from branch to branch and each time I dropped from one I'd stop and carve a hole into the bark of the tree with my blade so it would be easier to climb later. I dropped down to the ground and made the last hand hold. "Finally, I'm down," I said and felt a sense of accomplishment. I had climbed down the tree without getting hurt. I froze in shock as I heard a hammer of a gun click… I never mistaken the sound as something else, I knew for sure it was a gun.

Then I heard a voice behind me that seemed so familiar… the voice was soft and calm. "Turn around and won't do anything." I turned around noticed that the voice belonged to Blake, who was in front of Yang, Weiss, and a few police officers from Vale. They found me. "Hey Ruby…" I backed away in fear. I knew that they were going to search for me. But a fear popped into my thoughts. I don't want to be locked away from everyone. "Don't run Ruby… please?" Blake pleaded so I stopped and stared at them in fear.

"I don't want to be locked away," I said, tears forming in my eyes.

Blake stepped closer. "We can sort this out Ruby, please don't—"

"NO!" I looked down and continued to talk. "There is no way to sort this out… none!"

My sudden snap made Blake jump back in fear, do did my sister and Weiss. I looked at Weiss... I don't know if she still hates me but I'm making her become scared, and I can notice it just by how she looks. "There is Ruby... you just don't know it yet." Blake said.

"But what if there isn't?!" I exclaimed.

"Then I'll lock myself up with you." Blake replied.

My eyes widened. "Y-you would?"

She nods. Behind her, one of the officers grew impatient and raised his gun. "That's it, times up!"

I stared at him in shock; I was being pointed at by a gun... right in front of me. Blake tried to stop him but he shoved her away and fired a round. I couldn't move... I didn't want to hurt anyone but I'm going to get hurt... forget it, I'm not going to fight back but take the bullet. I closed my eyes and felt a burning sensation in my leg, which made me fall and scream in agony. "RUBY!" Blake shouted, ran and knelt at my side, looking at the leg that was shot. She tried to stop the bleeding by ripping enough of my red cape and wrapping it on the wound, covering it. "It's going to be okay Ruby." Blake said.

All I could think at the moment was how bad my wound hurts. I began to whimper and tears fell out of my eyes. "Don't let them take me away... I'll go if they let me stay close to you... I can only trust you." I choked out. I saw her nod and she picked me up.

"Sleep for now Ruby... I'll make sure you'll be okay." Blake said in her soothing, motherly voice. I nod and for some reason despite the burning feeling of pain in my left leg, I did feel tired. My eyes began to close slowly, and the last thing I felt was a pair of lips pressing against my forehead...
