Chapter 30: Jacob's Family
McFoley Residence
January 5, 2020
It has been three days since teams RWBY and JNPR have been introduced to RWBY: Amity Arena, and they could not stop playing it. They would take turns playing it and sometimes they would fight over it. Right now, Ruby and Yang are going against each other using Jacob and Ricky's phones as everyone else was either watching a movie or playing other video games.
"Go, mini me!" Ruby cheered for her virtual self on the game.
She then witnessed herself get killed by Cinder.
"I WILL END YOU!" Ruby screamed.
"In your dreams, sis," Yang said, summoning a group of baby deathstalkers and her virtual self.
Ruby's tower was then destroyed as a result.
"I beat you again Ruby," Yang said.
"That's not fair. You always beat me," Ruby said.
"I guess I'm just that good," Yang smirked.
"You... you..." Ruby struggled to speak.
"You are right? You are awesome?" Yang guessed with a smirk.
"You... YOU FUCKING WHORE OF A BITCH!" Ruby screamed.
"Ruby!" Yang shouted, shocked to hear her innocent sister cussing at her.
In fact, everyone heard Ruby cuss and were also shocked.
"Wait, what did I just say?!" Ruby said with shock.
"Uh... I think you guys may need a break from this game," Jacob said, taking his phone and Kelly's phone from Ruby and Yang.
"Yang," Ruby called to Yang as she still looked shocked and a little hurt from what Ruby called her.
"I'm sorry, Yang. didn't know what came over me. Can you forgive me, sis?" she asked as she had tears in her eyes.
"Of course, Ruby," Yang said as she hugged Ruby.
"Well, I'm heading home you guys," Jacob said.
"Wait, why?" Weiss asked.
"Yesterday I got a call that my brother is coming back home from Afghanistan and he's coming home today," Jacob answered.
"Can we come?" Ruby asked.
"I don't know. It's more of a family thing," Jacob said.
"Please? I promise I won't swear again," Ruby begged.
"Only if I go with you, sis. So what do you say? I mean there is nothing else for me and Ruby to do," Yang said.
"Really, Yang? There is other stuff you can do, ya know," Jacob deadpanned.
"Yeah but you can get bored with it after awhile," Yang said.
Jacob let out a heavy sigh.
"Okay, fine. But just you two," he said.
"Thank you, Jacob," Ruby said, hugging him.
"Alright let's get going," Jacob said.
Prescott Residence
It has been several minutes of walking and Jacob, Ruby, and Yang all finally made it to Jacob's house. It was a two story house with a garage on its side, painted a dull yellow, and has a brick path leading to the front door.
"Here we are. Home, sweet home," Jacob said.
Jacob, Ruby, and Yang all then walked inside through the front door. As soon as they all got inside, they heard the sound of thumping and getting closer and closer. Then out of the corner, a small toddler crawled up to Jacob. The toddler was a small girl wearing light blue pants and a pink shirt with a small red heart with a smiling face on it. She has short blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Hey, Ashley," Jacob said, picking the girl known as Ashley.
She then smiles up at Jacob then notices Ruby and Yang.
"Aw, who's this little girl?" Yang asked, tapping Ashley's nose.
"This is Ashley, my baby sister," Jacob answered.
"Aw, she's so adorable," Ruby said.
Ashley smiles at Ruby and Yang, making them awe at her smile.
"Jacob, is that you?" a woman's voice called out.
"Yeah, it's me. and I brought a couple of guests," Jacob called to the voice.
"Was that your mom?" Yang asked.
"No, that was my Aunt Judy," Jacob answered.
"Where are your parents?" Ruby asked.
Jacob then showed a look uneased, but then brushed the look off quickly.
"I'll tell you later," he said.
Yang and Ruby noticed his expression before he answered and were beginning to wonder why. Then walking out of the corner was a woman which Ruby and Yang quickly presumed was Jacob's aunt. She wore blue shorts and a green sleeveless shirt. She has black hair and green eyes.
"Hey, Jacob, who are your friends?" asked Judy.
"This is Ruby and her older half sister Yang," Jacob said.
"So, which one of them is your girlfriend?" a new voice called out as the figure came out.
The person was a guy wearing a pair of dark blue pants and a black shirt with Knoxville Fire Department logo on it. He also has light brown hair, brown eyes, and a mustache.
"Neither of them are my girlfriend, Uncle Leon," Jacob groaned.
"Well, aren't you going to introduce us?" Judy asked.
"Um girls, this is my aunt and uncle, Leon and Judy Prescott," Jacob said.
"Nice to meet you," Ruby said.
"So what brings you two here?" Leon asked.
"We got nothing else better to do so we decided to hang out with Jacob," Yang said.
"Well, our other nephew, Keaton will be here in a few minutes so I hope you guys don't mind," Judy said.
"It's no problem, Mrs. Prescott," Ruby said.
"Can you guys take Ashley? I think she needs a diaper change," Jacob said.
"Sure thing," Leon said as he took Ashley from Jacob's arms.
"Come on, sweetie," he said as he and Judy walked off with Ashley.
"They seem nice," Ruby said.
"Where are you parents? Why aren't they here?" Yang asked.
Jacob sighed, knowing that they won't stop asking until they get their answer.
"Look, I don't like talking about that, but since you won't stop asking I guess I'll tell you," he said.
"Did something happen?" Ruby asked.
There was a hesitated silence before Jacob spoke.
"A couple years ago, before Ashley was born, I used to live in Detroit, Michigan. There was a string of murders going on and my mom found out that my dad was the killer. Not only that, but he was also secretly a neo nazi. My mom called the cops but then he raped my mom and disappeared after that. Nine months later Ashley was born and then my mom was taken to a mental hospital because she tried to kill Ashley because she had a very strong resemblance to my dad. So here we are now, living with our aunt and uncle,"he explained with a tear going down his cheek.
Ruby looked like she was ready to cry while Yang's eyes turned red with anger. Ruby dashed to Jacob and hugged him tightly.
"I'm so sorry, Jacob. We didn't know," Ruby choked out.
"That bastard! Why would he even do that?!" Yang shouted.
Her eyes turned back to its normal color as she started to calmed down and joined Ruby into hugging Jacob.
"And I thought we had problems, but yours beats us all by a mile. I'm sorry," Yang said.
"It's alright. I'm over it," Jacob said, hugging back the half sisters.
They all pulled back from their group hug.
"So wait, does your brother know about this?" Yang asked.
"Yeah, but he joined the military before it happened," Jacob answered.
"Well look on the bright side, at least you got us, your friends, your brother, your sister, and aunt and uncle," Ruby said.
"Thanks Ruby. That means a lot to me," Jacob said.
They all suddenly heard a knock at the front door and Jacob went up to answer it. He opened the door and saw his brother Keaton. Leon and Judy walked out with Ashley in Judy's arms.
"Hi, Keaton," Jacob greeted.
"Hey there, bro," Keaton said.
"Hey Keaton, look who came to see you," Judy said, holding Ashley.
"Hey Ashley, how are you doing?" Keaton cooed at Ashley, making her smile.
Jacob looked behind Keaton and noticed two men in black, standing in front of a black SUV.
"Hello Ruby, Yang, Nice to meet you," Keaton said.
Jacob, Ruby, and Yang all widened their eyes in shock since none of them told him the girls' names.
"That's right Jacob. All three of you need to answer some questions. That goes for your friends and their friends too," Keaton said.
"Keaton, what's going on?" Leon asked.
"Let's just say that Jacob has been with some people that recently caught the government's attention," Keaton said.
"And two of those people are in this house right now," he said as he looked at Ruby and Yang.
"We are so fucked," Jacob thought.
