Thank you guys for helping me reach 50 follows on this story. This is the most successful story out of all the ones I made and it makes me even happier to see that. Here is another chapter for you all. :)
I can't sleep anymore… I just kept repeating that same thought in my head. It was hard for me to rest
and I felt like giving up, but I wanted to sleep so I could be whisked into my dreams to where I was happy. I closed my eyes once more, and finally I was fading into my dreams. I began to regret doing so since what I received was nothing more than a nightmare that my mind thought I rightfully deserved.
I felt cold… so cold. Chains were still placed on my arms and legs, but I couldn't move at all. I was laid out on a metal table, the light above me blinding my eyes. I heard footsteps, but I didn't know who it was. Something cold and metal-like touched my arm, and it ran across slowly until I felt it sinking into my skin. The pain grew unbearable as I felt it dig deeper into my arm, a warm liquid seeping out of the wound. My blood. I whimpered in pain… I began to scream until a fist smacked my face, silencing me. I want to get out of this nightmare! I screamed in my head.
The person moved what I now knew was a knife, trailing it towards my chest. They sank it into my skin and moved it vigorously to the right, forming a huge laceration that was uncontrollably pouring out more blood. I was fading away. Everything else that I heard, even my screams, was nullified. The sound of my failing heart and the blood that fell on the floor were the only things that I could hear.
Drip… drip…
I closed my eyes and then… silence.
Blake
My eyes opened instantly as I heard a piercing scream to my right. I turned to my right to see that Ruby was awake and crying. She was the person the scream belonged to. Without hesitation, I put her in a tight embrace and tried to comfort her, my hands caressing her hair as the words flow through my mouth. "It was just a dream Ruby… just a dream."
I felt her returning the embrace since her hold tightened. What kind of nightmare did she have? After a moment of hearing her sob, she finally spoke. "P-please… don't let them h-hurt me," Ruby said.
I tightened my hold on her after hearing that. She was having a dream of being hurt or something worse… I knew this because I use to have them when I was just a little girl, and every second of being in those dreams I hated. "Ruby, look at me," I said. She did and I could see the tears pouring out of her silver eyes in an endless stream, but I continued, "I'm not going to let anyone hurt you. Even if it kills me I'm going to make sure you stay safe."
"Okay, I would only want you and Yang to protect me when I need it."
Ruby buried her face into my chest and I continued to soothe her. "There will be change Ruby… I'm sure of it. Even though everyone here in Beacon might know about what you are we'll make them accept you. We'll show them that you are still that kind and friendly red-haired girl everyone knows."
"Thank you so much, Blake."
"I'll make sure to be by your side to make sure they do accept you and if they try to hurt you or bully you, I'll make sure they don't ever do that again."
"You're the best!" Ruby exclaimed, but it sounded muffled since she was still buried in my chest. I would make sure they did accept Ruby… I wouldn't care if everyone hated me, because I was with her. What mattered was her happiness.
Weiss
3 Hours later, at an office in the Schnee estate…
"So she transformed into a Beowolf?" The man behind the desk asked me. It was my father, and he called me late in the night to see him. I had gotten permission from Professor Ozpin and told him that it was an urgent meeting, so he agreed and off I went to see my father.
I nodded.
"I never thought I would see the day again… we're going to have to bring Ruby back here then and into the lab at the basement," He replied.
"Why?" I asked curiously.
His blue eyes fixated on my own eyes for a few seconds and then replied, "To finish the tests on her… she's the only subject to actually live from our experiments and be a success!"
"You can't be serious!" I exclaimed.
"Why do you take it offense to this? Did you begin to have feelings for her?" He asked.
I looked down in nervousness, but I managed to say it. "Y-yes… I do have feelings for her."
"Foolish girl," He muttered under his breath, but I managed to hear it, "After those years of not even caring about her and after a few months of spending time with her at Beacon, you began to care for her?! Ha! How foolish can you be?!" I was offended by his statement.
Then I managed to anger him because I remembered one thing I had never forgiven him for. "I wouldn't talk if I were you, since you did end up killing my mother!" I shouted.
"WHY YOU LITTLE BRAT!" He slapped my cheek hard, splitting it. I coughed out a bit of my own blood before he shoved me, making me trip and fall onto the floor face first. I turned around and realized that my nose was bleeding. Fear took over and I flinched before he kicked the right side of my body. "This is why she is dead! It's because of you! She had to have you and my world fell upside down! You were utterly useless during Ruby's tests and you dare talk back to me to this day!"
"STOP!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, but he continued to abuse me until I was bruised up and blood stained my clothing, making a tiny blood pool on my back. Tears fell out of my eyes, he hadn't abused me in years, but I had clearly forgotten how brutal his beatings were. He blamed me for my mother's death, but it was entirely his own fault because he tested her the same way as he did Ruby, but unlike on her, the experiment failed. My father was a complete psycho, but I couldn't run away or live with someone else since he would always find me.
After a few more kicks he stopped and said to me in a cold voice, "Tomorrow, you will bring Ruby back to me. I don't care how you bring her, as long as you don't kill her, understand?" I didn't respond since all I could think about was the pain. He leaned in closer to me and asked one more time, "Understand?"
I nodded.
"Good, now go back to Beacon." After that, he left the room for me to help myself up. I grabbed onto the leather chair in front of me and used the small amount of strength I had left to pick myself up. I began to limp towards the front door when I stumbled on to the ground. My legs had given up on me; they were numb from the abuse my father gave me. I crawled out of the mansion and climbed into the limo waiting for me at the front gate.
The driver was horrified as I climbed in. "Infirmary at Beacon… now," I said in a soft, pained voice. He made no hesitation as he slammed on the gas pedal and the limo took off. I laid on the leather seat of the vehicle, thinking about what had happened. When will I be free to live? When will I never be abused again? I thought. I sobbed as lights flew past me, colorful lights,and I only thought of Ruby after closing my eyes. I never wanted to hurt her… never, but I was forced to and now I would have to do it again. My father always wanted me to act like I did want to harm her. If only I can tell my team, especially Ruby and Blake that I'm being forced to do it… but I can't. They'll die because of me… my father himself will come and slit all of our throats in our sleep.
I wish I never had a father like him and I wish that he never existed on this planet… he hurt so much people… even mother. My father was a mass murderer and a psychopath. I wished I realized his plans sooner, then none of this wouldn't have happened, but it could already be too late to save Ruby now…
