Ruby's POV
Cold. .Dark. . and alone. . .trapped in a dream, with no way out. . . no one to call for help. .. . .in a way it was relaxing. . .the darkness grew inside and swallowed everything that stand in its way. . .and so all will soon disappear. . .and without even knowing it. . .my soul will soon turn to darkness. . .
i woke up from my bed, breathing heavily. . .
my whole body was drenched with sweat. . .my surroundings were no longer in that dark unspoken room, but back inside my dorm. . .where everyone was asleep.
it was 5:46am and we don't have classes until 9:00am, so technically 3 more hours to go. But i wasn't about to go back to sleep just to have that nightmare again every single night, so i decided to get up, jumping down from my own bed and lightly tapping my foot on the hard solid ground.
Weiss was on the bottom of the bed softly breathing in her sleep, i smiled and slowly cover her with a blanket that was folded near her feet.
i went inside the bathroom and took a nice cold shower. it was refreshing, the tiny droplets fell lightly on my bare back clearing off the sweat that hung there. . .i sighed happily
One hour later, i got out of the shower and got dress
i wore a dark red t-shirt and black jeans with a red and black belt around my hips to keep my pants from falling, the belt had a rose carving in the middle of it, I than put on my black sneakers and got my red crimson cloak, putting it around me, finally happy to have it back.
and then Grabbed my scythe and headed out the door to the training grounds.
i usually fight with Crescent Rose but this time i felt like doing something different.
i started to putting up a fighting stance, my fists in front of me as I got ready to aim at the hung up punching bag, as I was about to hit it a voice so soft and welcoming was heard.
"That's a new one, and here i thought you let crescent rose do all the dirty work"
i looked to see where the voice was coming from and smiled "Alex" my childhood friend
the one friend who stood by me though thick and thin and treated me like a normal girl instead of a beast.
Alex went to beacon the same time i did, and she found out about my demon half when i first lost control, protecting her when this grown man was trying to kidnap her right in front of me, but she pointed it out that she just didn't care what i was. Demon or not. i was still me. . .i was still Ruby Rose
"Soo. . What made you want to fight with your hands?" she asked
"because, i'm always relying on Crescent Rose. . I never once thought of defending myself without it. .so i want to try now. ." i answered
"i get that, but why?"
"i want to protect everyone. .i hate being useless, what if crescent rose went missing? or what if it shatters? i won't have anything to defend myself with, i want to protect them. . i want to protect her with my own two hands!!" the words i said, lit a smile to Alex's face.
"i'll help then" she said "really? thank you so much!" i said cheerfully. i was surprised at myself, i'm never this cheerful. . .weiss flashed in my mind and i smiled. . suddenly i see a fist flying towards my face.
before it can connect i barely dodged out of the way, "the hell?!" i shouted in surprise
"Never look away from your opponent! that's the one rule in this fight training, always look straight at your opponent. If you get distracted than its all over" she stated
i nodded and got ready to fight "i'm ready" i charged at her, i threw out a punch. it was a back-fist by forming a fist and striking with the backside of my fist and i aimed at her stomach. she dodged, grabbing my fist and spinning my whole arm behind my back and i groaned, but that didn't stop me there.
i head-butted her with the back of my head, she side-step out of the way which gave me the chance to get away, i swiftly swing my left leg sideways in a circular motion, kicking Alex's side with the front of my leg.
she laughed "Nice, your getting the hang of this." she smiled rubbing her side "literally, got me really good. . keep this up and you might catch up to Yang." i laughed lightly
'Enjoying yourself? don't get to comfortable.'
I growled, I hated when the voice in my head just pops out of no where, though it makes me work extra hard "i want to keep going"
"you sure?" said Alex, getting ready for another strike
"i am"
Alex nodded and we continued with the training until the sun begun to rise.
i took a small towel from my duffle bag and wiped my face with it, Alex had to leave to catch up on some school work. and i walked back to my dorm room before anyone can wake up.
inside of the room was still dark. weird. the curtains on the window was half sliced, so it shouldn't e this dark if the sun is raising up.
"Weiss?" i said her name but it was more like a whisper. No response. .
"Yang? Blake?"
Still No response. .
"Where is every-" my words got off by a shard of glass, slashing my cheek a bit. "Tsk! who's there!?"
i see a shadow hiding in a tree of the outside window near my dorm "who are you?"
the shadow didn't respond "where are my friends?"
the creature or whatever it is, still didn't answer. .
Suddenly it went back in behind the tree and faded into the darkness
"hey wait!" i ran towards the window but it was to late, the shadow just disappeared. my shoulders tensed up , wondering if he or she was watching me from the beginning. i looked around the room to see if that piece of shard glass was still here. but it wasn't, it was gone. . like it vanished from thin air.
But it did pierced through a wall, the wall showed blood. my blood.
washing my face in the bathroom sink, the blood on my cheek dripped down to the flowing water below as i started cleaning it.
a knock on the door startled me, "w..who's there?"
"it's me, weiss, may i come in?" she responded so softly
"y-yeah. ." luckily the blood on my cheek slowed down and i put a bandage where it had been cut.
It'll hea!l, if I use the dark power within me but I didn't, I rather leave a scar then let that thing control me
As i was lost in my thoughts, Weiss slowly opened the door "Ruby, are you okay? we didn't see you at breakfast."
"i'm fine, just a little tired" i smiled at her and she suddenly moved closer
"what happened to your cheek?"
"oh. .um i fell off my bed, no big deal"
"i see. ." weiss slowly lift up a hand and gently laid it on my cheek that has been hurt.
blushing, i turned away from her.
"a-anyways, how was breakfast?" i said
she drew her hand away and smile slowly "it was good, nora started telling stories about how she defeated 100 beowolves. .none of us believed it but we didn't say anything but listen to her tales." weiss said flipping her hair
same old weiss. "i bought breakfast for you. . you must be hungry after all that fighting you had with Alex earlier in the morning"
"how did you know? i was very quiet leaving the room, not once making a peep" i said
" you dolt, i'm your partner. i know you, Ruby Rose."
hearing those words made me happy, very happy, i smiled at her and went out of the bathroom and into the room sitting on top of Weiss bed.
"hey, i didn't give you permission to sit on my bed" Weiss said
"do i really need permission? besides i went to sleep on your bed with you beside me" i smirked
Weiss blushed brightly "You Dunce!!"
i laughed. this was fun, teasing her and laughing with her.
i hope this will never End
Third Person POV
Ruby was happy, she got to enjoy all the little things she had missed while being part of Weiss' partner. She thinks that if she keeps enjoying the little things she has than everything will be okay.But that was just wishful thinking, she doesn't know much about having fun. but with the company of Weiss, then everything will go smoothly. .but the truth is. .she is worried, deep inside her heart, she feels that the darkness will take over. that all this she has with her friends and her beloved partner will soon be erased from existence. .she wants to protect all of them. .but the more powerful the demon becomes. . the more she loses her soul, her humanity, and herself.
Deep inside the forest lies a building near the coast of vale
The shadow that hid behind the tree was now resting, a ball of flames in their hands,"she didn't suspect a thing, sure she saw me but i hid my face very well." the figure sounded as a woman."I understand that, but next time be careful. she's not human, she could've killed you on the spot." a woman with the white haired bun stated"i understand. Salem "the woman named Salem nodded and said "did you got what i needed?"the crimson eyed female smiled "a drop of her blood as ordered" she handed the dark witch a shard of glass that has dyed blood on it"Excellent. Now the real fun begins."
