And some more...

Chapter 63:

Humming softly as she spun around with the arms just holding onto her, Ruby just breathed a happy sigh. She just smiled at the contentment she felt. Something that just grew as she could see the golden eyes slowly starting to open.

"Hey sleepy head." Blake said softly through a gentle yawn as she just pulled Ruby closer.

"I should say the same thing to you." Ruby said as she nuzzled into Blake with a happy smile on her face. "How did you sleep? Because I slept pretty great. And I get headaches with my hair tied up trying to sleep... I couldn't imagine what a bow covering my ears is like." Ruby said as she rolled Blake onto her back as she just smiled brighter at the feeling of Blake's hands just gently grabbing onto her hips.

"I had an amazing night's sleep. I had an adorable woman sleeping with me. As for the bow... it is just again a trust thing. And if your roommate is dating Weiss Schnee I'm just having issues. But it isn't that bad. No worse than sleeping with ear plugs in. Or at worse a hairband on." Blake said softly as she just took a deep breath and pulled Ruby onto her lap.

"I hope I get to see your ears one day. And Weiss and Yang both claim they aren't dating. Just hate banging. But in reality they are totally dating. Just haven't had the normal relationship talk." Ruby said happily as she just rested her head next to Blake's as she let her hands wander up Blake's body.

"In their defence, neither have we. And you even said last night if I remember right that you weren't going to end the date on sex." Blake said in a calm tone as Ruby just let out a hum. One that was causing Blake some confusion. Something that doubled if not tripled when Ruby spoke again.

"When is your first class today?" Ruby asked as she gently started to nibble gently on Blake's human ear. Just enjoying how Blake had started to grumble something. "The answer is you aren't going into class today and going to call in sick to work if you have either... because as far as I'm concerned... we just took a break." Ruby said happily as she grabbed Blake's right breast. "As for if we are going to have the girlfriend talk... you've met my mother. You've met my friends... nothing about my life is normal. If you want to have that talk we can, but I do know that it will boil down to me warning you that my family will not pull its punches against you if you decide to intentionally and maliciously hurt me."

Laughing a little as she said that, Ruby just smiled as she sat up properly. "That being said... kudos on knowing how to choke me and not being squeamish... and also knowing exactly how hard to go. Anything you want to try?"

"You aren't the only one with a breath play fetish. It just so happens I much rather control someone else's. And there is a lot I'd like to try with you. But first I've got to know, do you have anything against your hands being tied?"

"I do not."

"Good."


Laughing softly as she tossed Summer into a corner of an abandoned building. "I know you remember this building. It is where you thought you were a murderer. I figured that it would be poetic if this is where your last moments are. It is where in reality what we both could agree on is where your life ended. But this is where my life began. One where I promised if I ever met someone willing to harm that girl, I would gladly kill who ever caused it and I would make sure it is in the worst fashion possible. And there is no death like exposure to the elements. It is a lot slower and a lot more painful than people think." Cinder said as she bent down to deliver another punch to Summer's head forcing her to stay down as she just smiled.

"You are going to experience a death that even I wouldn't do to anyone else. You'll experience the death you had wished upon Ruby. The only solace you'll have is that tonight it is meant to be a lot colder and the fact you are already close to death." Cinder said with a tone of pity in her voice. One that did seem to speak volumes to many but Cinder knew that to Summer, the woman she had just spent most of her day torturing for what she did to Ruby... it wouldn't come across as that. But it wasn't a case that Cinder cared.

"I hope the reaper doesn't come for you too early. According to all the research I've done... Ruby was out here for three hours. Eight is fatal for babies if there is no intervention. But that time frame is fatal for a lot of things when it comes to babies. The fact she was wet already cut that time down significantly. The doctors said an hour or two longer and she wouldn't have made it. It was already shaky if she was going to make it." Cinder said as she delivered another punch to Summer's jaw with as much force as she could muster.

"Ruby remembers being in here. She remembers your last words to her... but all she remembers of you are your eyes. So I want you to remember mine. I want you to have mine etched so deeply into your memory that an autopsy of your eyes would show mine. I want it so in hell you will wake up screaming so loud that the God of Darkness will kick you back up here and drag me down for making you suffer so badly up here that his job has been made moot." Cinder said with a calm breath as she stood up and began to fix her dress with one hand as she used the other to fix her hair.

"Goodbye Summer. I hope you are going to suffer. Suffer in the same form you imagined Ruby would all those years ago. Your husband and step daughter will be given my deepest condolences and I'll mean them. Just not in the way you probably imagine. I am sorry they lost a wife. I am sorry I hadn't been able to get her to see reason. And I'm deeply sorry that the police had to find the body in the same place she claims she left her daughter." Cinder continued with a small smile on her features as she looked towards her car.

"I hope you burn in hell for stealing my daughter." Summer spat as she tried to move but her body had just seemingly given up hope.

"I didn't steal her. I saved her from death. I provided her with everything she could ever want. But if that is what sends me to hell, attempted infanticide is so much worse. So keep a spot for me. I do hate waiting in line. Because I'll go down gladly as long as my little girl is getting her rightful place in heaven. Something Salem, my brothers, my men... even Sienna Khan. All agree. If anyone deserves to be in heaven it is Ruby. And I'll be happily damned if it means she is up there when her time comes." Cinder said with a smile. "Now Summer, it would be wise to not speak. Save your strength for later. It is meant to dip below freezing. So if you want to live through that... you'll need all the strength to shiver. Something young enough babies can't do."


"Weiss. It is complicated." Yang said as she dragged her foot up to quickly tie her bootlaces. "I do hate Summer. With every fibre of my being. She is nothing more than a drug addicted monster. But my Dad cares about her. And he isn't exactly known for taking bad news well... or even in a healthy manner. The literal only solace I have is that our fields are in the fallow period right now. So all he needs to do is feed the animals... or one of our neighbours can if I just give them a call..." Yang said as she stood up and began to gently twist her back. "But point is for whatever reason, despite what all logic points to, he still hasn't kicked Summer's ass to the curb. She is without a doubt going to try and plead with the leader of Grimm to not cut her off as the best case scenario." Yang continued as she just spun around to look at Weiss.

"You sound like this wouldn't be the first time your Dad should have left her..." Weiss started softly as Yang just took a deep breath and took a seat next to Weiss, feeling a little shocked to feel herself being pulled into a one armed hug.

"It isn't... she killed my baby sister. Causing my Dad to crawl into a bottle of booze and I could only pull him out of it a few years ago by literally threatening to kill myself if he didn't stop. Thankfully even slightly drunk he wouldn't even dare call my bluff." Yang said as Weiss just gasped lightly as Yang just gently started to separate from Weiss. "Regardless I need to start going towards my dorm. I need to get my stuff and chances are Ruby and Blake would still be asleep. If not Blake would already be doing the normal sneaking out..."

"Yang. Believe me. I know how awful it is to see an alcoholic parent... especially if something is driving them towards that... I also know how bad it is to see your parents in a toxic relationship... but you can not take on those issues. It ends nowhere but a bad place for you. Trust me as a daughter whose mom is an alcoholic and a dad who is a self confessed gold digger who wanted his station in life elevated." Weiss began softly as she started to stand up just gently catching Yang's hands. "And I know this is going against the ground rules I set... but seriously. If you need someone to talk to. Just please talk to me... or literally anyone."

"Weiss. I'm going to be fine. Knowing the people Summer is going to fuck with though... means she is very likely going to be killed and I'm just worried how my Dad is going to take the news. My birth Mom killed herself before I ever got to know her and it still fucks with me to this day... but just imagining if I knew her like I know my Dad... that will without a doubt fuck me up and he seemed super depressed yesterday."

"Yang. I'm sure he is going to be able to pull through. You are better off talking to Ruby about depression... I know she is... or was... might still be medicated for that. But what I do know is... what you need to worry about is if he suddenly seems happy and alright with the world." Weiss said as she had to resist the urge to laugh a little at the confusion on Yang's face. "Neo is a mess of contradictions. As is Emerald but this doesn't concern her. Neo's mother is a cop that is a hero... during a hostage situation at one of my family's factories she handed herself over in exchange for all the hostages to be released unharmed which the break off of the White Fang took with great joy... but according to Roman and even Neo... she was never intending to come back. Something the swat team agree with because she had given the order once the hostages were safe and they had her to start the siege. Roman always said up until she left that day she had been down around him. Never around Neo but around him. But she did pick up on it... even down to her complete one eighty turn one morning as soon as a call on the radio came that there was a growing hostage situation."

"Is that why Neo is so fucked in the head? Because that does seem like it is the cause." Yang asked as she gathered what Weiss was meaning.

"Sadly, no. All it did was stop making Neo hide her actions. There used to be a time where it was impossible to pin something on her. But now she just outwardly confesses it now." Weiss said as Yang just took a deep breath as she stared into Weiss' crystalline blue eyes that had reminded her of the sea.

"My last class is at noon. If you want we can meet up at the cafeteria and we can talk. But again I'm personally fine. Just worried about my Dad."

"Which has me worried for you Yang." Weiss said as she raised herself a little to gently kiss Yang in a chaste manner. "Just... stay safe Yang."


Smiling as she could see Blake's head snapping downwards as she looked into Ruby's eyes. "We are going to need to call this off early... sounds like your roommate is back. So I need to cover my ears." Blake said as Ruby started to whine gently.

"Don't. I just got to see them. They are so adorable." Ruby complained as she felt a strong hand hold her wrists together as Blake used her other hand in a single motion untied Ruby's hands and quickly tied the bow with a deft hand covering her ears. "Can you at least not get dressed? Just cover up. Because she normally just does a flying visit thing." Ruby said as she jumped up and gently started to push Blake onto the bed. Enjoying the sight of Blake just smiling coyly at her.

"Oh, you are going to pay for that when she leaves." Blake said as she grabbed the blanket to just cover herself as Ruby seemed to smile as she plucked the spare sheet up off the end of the bed Ruby started to wrap it around herself.

"Don't make promises like that Blake... I only have one spare sheet and I don't want to need to wash both because you made me too horny." Ruby said as she walked up to the door and opened it where she could see Yang just groaning.

"Every time. What is with the bite and claw marks. I thought you were into choking?" Yang asked as Ruby rolled her eyes.

Before Ruby could respond, Blake seemed to speak up for her. "We were using silk. Short of me snapping her neck it doesn't tend to leave marks." Gesturing gently towards the room, Ruby just smiled as she quickly led Yang into the room.

"Plus, can't a girl have more than one thing to get her off? Frankly if we had plenty of candles, I'd be all for her dripping wax on me. Or if Neo took better care of her whips, I'd be tempted to ask her to lend us one." Ruby said with a smile taking a seat in front of Blake, gasping as she was pulled back with Blake purring behind her.

"Now there are some thoughts." Blake said as she looked towards Yang. "Don't worry. It isn't the first time I've done this kind of thing. And I've got to say... never met a woman who took to being choked so well. Took me forever to convince my girlfriends and boyfriends to try that."

"Not Ruby it seems... spends most of her time complaining that her girlfriends can't do it right." Yang said as she dropped her bag onto her desk and started to shove some of the books into it.

"Yang... not that I don't love talking to you. I really do and if you need to vent sure, come to me. But we were kind of doing something." Ruby said as Yang stopped and began to rub her face gently.

"Ruby. I've got a question. If a depressed person starts to act happy out of nowhere... what does that mean? And to be clear this is about my Dad not me." Yang said as Ruby started to undo Blake's hold on her.

"It means either their meds are starting to work... or typically they made their mind up about if they should kill themselves... is your dad medicated? Or do you want the name of a psychiatrist... because I've only been to one but I've been going to her on and off since fifth grade. And she is pretty good." Ruby said as she could see Yang spinning around to just look at her.

"No... he isn't. And he isn't happy right now. Just my step mom might be dragging him towards it. And he is refusing to call his psychiatrist. And he is forcing me to stay here. And I'm just worried about him." Yang said as Ruby just took a deep breath.

"Could you afford to take a few days off?" Ruby asked as Yang just took a deep breath and gently shook her head. "Even a day Yang... head there tonight if you can't spare that and head back here just letting your first professor know that you might be a little late. You don't even need to talk to him... just being there is enough for most people. At least it is for me. It might be enough for him."

"You sure that is what I should do? Weiss just wants me to talk to people." Yang said as Ruby just shook her head.

"That works for making sure you are in a good place after something bad happens. But you can prevent it. So speak to her... take her with you if you would rather. It doesn't even need to be a bringing home the girlfriend type thing... it is just to put your's, her's and your dad's mind at ease." Ruby said as Yang just took a deep breath.

"Thanks Ruby." Yang said as she gently placed a hand on top of Ruby's head. "I'd hug you, but you are seriously naked and covered with bite marks."

"Your welcome Yang... just if you would rather me there, just text me or call me and short of my Mom needing me... I'll head over as well." Ruby said as Yang just smiled gently and shook her head. "Also without a doubt the second you leave I'm getting tied up again." Ruby said with a smile as Yang chuckled, shaking her head. "Let me know regardless Yang."

"Will do Ruby." Yang said as she looked towards Blake. "And don't harm her... her mother is terrifying."

"Oh I'm aware. As well as her extended family. I was a bit of a wild teen. And had plenty of run-ins with them."

"Good."
