Chapter twelve

Uneasy feeling

Weiss rolled her eyes as Yang and Ruby were being really enthusiastic about Remnant: The Game which was a board game that Ruby had been wanting them to play for some time as a fun experience. While Weiss was simply confused, having never played an actual board game, Blake was distracted and not paying attention at all. A point that was proven when she inadvertently threw half of Vale's army against an Atlesian air fleet twice its size.

Normally Ruby would be more reserved since JNPR was nearby but Ruby had started to bond with them and slowly but surely, she learned to trust them and they became friends. Of all of JNPR Ruby was closest to Ren but that was mainly because Ren was always willing to listen. Weiss tossed a game price at Jaune after he called her an Ice Queen but other than that things were relatively civil.

Ruby was about to take her turn when a familiar voice echoed briefly "Sup losers." Sun walked up with a new face which caused Ruby to stop, take a breath then say softly "Hey Sun." "Ruby, Yang, Blake…. Ice Queen." "Why does everyone keep calling me that?" Weiss pouted.

Sun introduced his friend as Neptune and Ruby tuned the rest of the conversation out until Blake pushed past Sun and left.

Ruby made a soft noise then followed her but Blake had vanished by the time Ruby made into the hallway.

"I guess I'll just head back to the dorm room then…" Ruby sighed softly. On the way back, she ran into three students that were wearing Haven Academy uniforms. The girl in the lead simply stared at Ruby while Ruby tightened her corset before saying "You three have Haven uniforms on. Are you here for the festival?" The lead girl nodded then the silver haired boy behind her said "I guess we got turned around."

The lead girl's hand shot out to silence her male companion as her amber eyes gazed into Ruby's. Her eyes looked as if they had a dancing fire behind them. Ruby took a breath before saying quickly. "Your building is just east of here." the three departed and then Ruby got a chill down her spine and she blinked.

"I don't know why but something about those three doesn't seem right at all… I'm sure it's just me but I should probably bring it up to Headmaster Ozpin… Should I? It's probably nothing." Ruby entered the room and changed into her pajamas and got ready to go to sleep early.

Hopping up onto her bed she covered her bed with the sheets she borrowed from the linen closet that was attached to the room. Her mind went over the conversation trying to figure out what was off about it Ruby let out another soft sigh and laid down on her pillow. Eventually Ruby started to drift off to sleep. Her brains neurotransmitter was starting to tell her neurons that it truly was time to sleep. But just before she fell asleep Ruby shot up as she had a realization.

"Wait that hand motion was made by Torchwick's companion the night the Headmaster invited me to Beacon. His companion also had those eyes with the same fire in them. I need to go see the Headmaster right now." Ruby quickly got out of bed changed and headed to the Headmaster's office.

Well with this we're officially into Volume two territory. It's not the longest but after two massive chapters back to back its okay.

As usual keep on following, favoriting and especially reviewing(I take all constructive criticism)

Until Next Week
