Now that I think about it, I'll just wait until my next story which will begin in April after this to tell you guys the deal. Here is Chapter 21…
My eyes opened instantly and I sat upright to see where I was. This can't be happening. I thought in horror. I looked around desperately to find a way out but there was nothing… I was trapped in here… not able to save Ruby from what her fate could be. My desperation to get out was increasing and it made me bang on the cell bars, shouting. "Let me out of here!" I went to pull Gambol Shroud out of its sheath but it wasn't there. That didn't stop me from trying to break out as I punched the cell door but it only made my knuckles bleed. "Let me out!" I shouted once more, and then I began to feel a horrible burning sensation coming from my neck.
I looked down at myself and noticed a black collar on my neck, it was blazing red. I heard a voice of a man that made me angry. "I don't accept bad manners around here Miss Belladonna." I held out against the pain that I was feeling, but it only got worse every second, the next thing I know I'm on the floor curled up… whimpering. "That's a disappointment; I thought you could hold out longer like your red-haired girlfriend."
My amber eyes glared at him coldly. "What did you do… to her?" I asked, the venom of my angst pouring in now.
"Just a few painful tests… she's almost done with them and I can't wait for you to see what she will become after them."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't worry, I don't need to say anything else… you can just say goodbye to her before she becomes the Grimm I needed her to become."
Despite the pain, I got up and tried to grab him but I saw him pull out a remote and click another button, then the pain intensified and I ended up stumbling into the ground. I never felt so much pain and weakness since that time at the white fang… when Adam… he abused me so much and I never wanted to feel that vulnerable and pain-taking ever again.
"Now… I guess I have to find some use for you, can't have you in here the whole time." Mr. Schnee said. I felt numb, close to death, then I felt no more pain… he stopped it. My vision was blurry as I felt myself being lifted up off the ground, and then I heard someone and they tried to reach out for me.
"Blake!" I felt something grab my arm, and I realized that it was Ruby. "Let me talk to her, please?!" she exclaimed.
Mr. Schnee's cold voice responded to her. "What did I tell you Ruby, get some rest for your final test tomorrow-"
Ruby interrupted him. "No! I won't!"
"If you say so." I heard a click and I saw Ruby slowly falling on her knees and landing on her side on the ground, trying to get rid of the pain. Her screams and whimpers made tears form in my eyes.
"You fucking monster." I said softly.
"So I've been told countless times." I blacked out and all I could think of was Ruby writhing in pain. He had to stop the pain before it could kill her right? He wouldn't just kill one of his test subjects… he wouldn't. All of this felt like a personal nightmare I couldn't leave from… it'll last forever until it ends or I die. After leaving the white fang… away from the violence, I thought I would never be able to meet someone that would become special in my life… now I'm thankful to have that hole of loneliness filled and it makes me scared to think of losing her. Whenever I think about Ruby, it makes me smile and protective of her… but after all of this… after she became a beowolf and all of this craziness, I don't think she deserves a person like me. I have to protect her and I failed to do that a few times already. Maybe I should just break up from her… it'll be for the best… would it? I always thought of that… just end your failures and move on but this time… it'll only make things worse.
Ruby was the one to confess first and if I did just break up with her, it'll break her heart and I did love her… I was not desperate for someone to love me and we're too close to just end the relationship. There is one thing I want to make sure of though… I want to make sure that Ruby will make it through this, even if it kills me. I care about her more than myself now and I just realized I have more history with her than I thought. She was the only person to break out of here… and she was only a little girl at the time… like me. I thought. After sneaking into the Schnee estate a few times, I remembered that out of all those times, only once have I ever went down the stairs and into the "basement" of the place to find people writhing or they were just dead.
I woke up to find myself in chains, how did it end up like this? The only thing I did was curl up and cry my heart out until there was no more tears to shed. I was so close to getting her, then Mr. Schnee had to appear out of nowhere and my anger got the best of me. Maybe this time could be the end, I thought sometimes in certain situations that this is my end, but I never thought that it would end like this. This cell I was in… it basically stripped away contact to the outside world, impossible to escape without someone having to unlock the door. Then I heard knocking from the door and it opened. The person that entered the cell was Weiss.
