Prologue-New Home
A 16 year old girl sat in a pickup truck next to an older man. The girl stared out the window, resting her head on the side of the truck making her black and red tipped hair messy. The older man looked over at the young girl only to sigh heavily.
"You don't have to act like I'm not here Ruby." The Man said only to make the girl or Ruby huff loudly.
"You're the one taking me to my father's place, Qrow. Why couldn't I just stay with aunt Rav?" Ruby complained as she looked back at the older man or Qrow.
"Because she doesn't have room for you, and your mother would have wanted this."
"Well she's not here now is she." Ruby said harshly while moving and looking back out the window. After a few hour drive they pulled up to a huge house. It's outer walls were dark blue and was two stories tall. Ruby gritted her teeth before slowly stepping out of the truck and grabbing her suitcase and backpack of stuff. Qrow helped Ruby carry her suitcase as they walked up the stairs to the door. Ruby took a deep breath before Qrow knocked on the door. There a 6 foot man with bright blonde hair opened the door with a big smile.
"Qrow, Ruby! You guys made it! Come in come in, you both must be tired from your 4 hour drive!" Ruby slightly glared at the man or Tai before looking away from him.
"Thank you Tai, I'm glad you were able to watch over Ruby for me while I get stationed out west." Qrow said to Tai as they entered the Tai's house. Ruby looked around noticing the kitchen was next to the door. Next to the kitchen was the living room, it was very big with a flat screen tv and a huge couch. There was a flight of stairs that went to the second story, there stood a tall woman with bright blonde hair.
"RUBY!" The woman yelled before launching at Ruby. Ruby quickly dogged the woman making her land hard on the ground.
"Yang." Ruby said looking down at the older woman or Yang. Yang huffed before standing up and forcing Ruby into a hug. Ruby just sighed but slightly hug back.
"Ah Yang, give Ruby some space." Tai said making Yang groan while letting Ruby go. Ruby forced a smile and did her best not to grit her teeth.
'I hate this!' Ruby thought as Tai and Qrow started to talk. Suddenly Tai turned towards Ruby making her come out of her thoughts.
"Ruby, why don't you have Yang show you to your room? Dinner is almost done." Tai said as he looked over at Yang, who smiled and nodded.
"Come on Ruby!" Yang said as she grabbed her sister's hand. Ruby was dragged to her room by Yang, in the room was dark red walls and a king sized bed. Ruby set down her backpack and suitcase near the bed as Yang went to go hug Ruby. Ruby stopped Yang with a glare before opening her suitcase.
"Tell Tai I won't be a dinner, I'm not hungry and I'm very tired. Thanks." Ruby said before closing her door only to sigh and sit on the bed. She hated this, having to be here at her father's and sisters instead a place she wanted to be. She always hated her father for leaving them and taking Yang with him, he hurt mom and hurt her. He may of had a decent reasoning but after he left, her mom fell into a deep depression. Ruby still could remember how her mother would moop around every day, barely talked and ate. Slowly things started to get better till a few weeks ago. Ruby suddenly shaked her head to get the thought/memory out of her head before starting to unpack her things.
After an hour, Ruby was finished packing her things only to have her phone buzz. Ruby looked over and saw a text from an internet friend.
'Hey you getting online?' Ruby read the text only to groan totally forgetting about her friend.
'Not today, I'm about to go to bed. I won't be on tomorrow either, I just moved to my father's place and I have nothing setup for gaming. Sorry Flame.' Ruby texted her friend back. Ruby meet Flame on an rpg game she used to play. Since then they always played games together and kept in contact. The only thing they never told was there true names, one of the first things they vowed not to do.
'Oh already? Dang, so where did you move again?'
'I don't really remember to be honest XD'
'Geeze Red! Anyways, I'll let you get some rest. Night Red'
'Night Flame' Ruby turned off her phone after plugging it into the charger next to her nightstand. Ruby sighed heavily feeling sadness drape over her as she thought about her mother. Ruby quickly sat up before going through her backpack till she saw a pill bottle. Inside was melatonin that helped Ruby sleep at night, especially since every time she closed her eyes she saw her mother dying. Ruby took the melatonin and drank some water from her water bottle. Quickly the melatonin took over Ruby's mind making Ruby fall fast asleep.
