Three hours had passed since Glynda came to our room. Weiss still hasn't woken up, I'm afraid she never will. Glynda's been taking really good care of us all, she's currently handing out potions in the main hall for everyone who feels like they might be in danger. I told team JNPR to go, since they could easily be the next ones in danger.

Yang is pacing around the room like a madman, she's even more tense than Blake, who's practically on the verge of going insane. We've been waiting for three hours for someone who clearly isn't going to wake up in a while, we're all extremely tired. I don't think any of us really even want to go to sleep, considering there's some psycho after us.

Roman hasn't visited me once during the whole day, I'm starting to feel like I should call him or something, to let him know I'm okay. He might have not heard of everything that's going on, he might still think we're all peacefully swimming at Weiss' family's swimming pool. Or maybe he's trapped under the sleep spell as well. The thought of that did not make me feel any better about the situation.

"I think I'm gonna go find him", I tell my team.

I grab Crescent Rose from the table and attach it to my belt. It's pretty handy not having to carry your weapon all the time.

"Find who?", Blake asks with a slightly crazy voice.

"Roman. You know, my boyfriend? To make sure he's okay", I answer slightly creeped out by Blake.

"I'm sure he's fine, we have more important things to worry about, like Weiss", she rolls her eyes.

"My boyfriend is important", I walk towards the door, "and I'm gonna go find him, whether you like it or not", I slam the door behind me. If only that were enough to wake up Weiss.


There was literally nobody outside, I guess they really are scared of Cinder. Even thought I doubt she'll attack them or anything they still feel the need to hide from her.

I was practically running to Roman's cottage the minute I stepped outside. I just really hope he's not dead or anything. I mean shouldn't Cinder be after Roman too, if she truly is after the people I care about. I sort of wish it were like that, so I'd be sure of her plan, but at the same time I would never want Roman taken from me again.

Thankfully the run to the cottage isn't too long, especially when you're running for your life. The boards on the porch creak under me, making me feel even more anxious. Everything looks slightly abandoned from the outside, but I guess that's the look the builders were going for.

I grab my key to the cottage and open the front door. I step inside and notice that the whole house is dark. All the curtains have been shut and none of the lamps are on, everything seems so creepy.

The sofa where Roman usually sleeps is empty, which I am both sad and thankful for. Thankful, because he isn't destroying his back again and sad, because he's not here.

I decide it's best to check all the rooms before assuming the worst. I go into the kitchen, expecting to find him there, but once again, I'm wrong. I also check the bathroom and the closet, even though I knew he wasn't there, and I was right.

There was only one place I haven't checked yet, the bedroom. This could go either way, he could either not be there, or be trapped under the sleeping spell. Honestly I wish he isn't there, just for his own safety.

I slowly walk toward the bedroom, making sure I don't make any noise. It wasn't actually that difficult, since the floorboards inside didn't creak that often, plus I'm sort of good at being silent. At least when I'm not trying to talk to people.

I try to silently open the door to the dank room, but it creaks and I curse to myself. The sound would most likely either scare someone off or wake someone up, unless of course they're under the curse. The room was so dark all I could see was the outlines of some furniture, curse Roman for wanting less light in the bedroom.

I step inside, only to hear someone murmuring.

"She can never know", someone says silently.

I quickly return back to the corridor, hoping that they didn't see me come inside. I have two options, I could either run away or go in guns blazing. Obviously I pick the second one, because Ruby Rose is no coward.

I grab Crescent Rose from my belt and step inside the room once again. There's a short figure standing near the bed, most likely a woman, and another one on the bed, not quite sure who.

It looks like they haven't noticed my presence, I try to keep my voice as steady as possible as I ask, "She can never know what?"
