Italics inidcate thinking
Bold is for attacks
Leona's POV
"I don't really get the point of this game." I sighed watching Ruby and the other play some sort of board card game.
"Shush." She whispered "I'm thinking…okay… Yang prepare your kingdom for battle!"
"Bring it on!" the girl yelled.
From what I understand this place, a library, is a quiet place for study, yet they yell here?
"I deploy a Legionnaire Fleet!" Ruby slammed a card down "I get to fly right over your Ursa and attack your walls directly."
"Why would you avoid a battle, weak." I shook my head and cleared my throat "Ahem."
"Oh and due to your location my repair time is only one turn." Ruby said smugly.
"Pretty sneaky." Yang smirked "Good thing I had a trap card, Giant Nevermore!"
"This game is very confusing." I told Weiss.
"I don't really get it at all." She sighed.
"Why fight with tiny little pieces when we could go out and fight with real Grimm." I huffed.
"Uhh…that's not what I meant but sure." Weiss shrugged "That would certainly have more benefit than this nonsense."
"Okay Weiss it's your turn." Yang smiled.
"Uhh I have…absolutely no idea what's going on." She said.
"It's easy." Yang laughed "You're playing as-."
"Game is dumb!" I groaned.
"Wait these cards…you're just three moves away from winning and conquering Remnant." Ruby pouted.
"MWAHAHA!" Weiss laughed "Fear my forces!"
"Trap card." Yang held up a card "Your army is destroyed."
"This game is stupid." Weiss huffed.
"Okay Blake it's your turn." Yang said leaning back in her chair.
"Huh, I'm sorry what are we doing?" she asked.
"You're playing as Vale and trying to conquer the kingdoms of remnant." Yang explained.
"Stupid." I huffed "My land isn't even marked on this stupid game."
"Well this edition is like five years old." Ruby laughed "You're jungle was unmapped till recently."
"Can I play?" Jaune asked "I'm pretty good."
"Puny man trying to prove strength in board game." I shook my head "Can't cut it in the real world."
"I seriously doubt you possess the tactical cunning for this game." Weiss said.
"You attacked yourself two turns ago." Yang pointed out.
"Sorry Jaune we already have four players." Ruby smiled.
"Oh it's a party." Sun, Blake's new friend, walked up.
"Oh hey." Ruby nodded.
"I've been meaning to introduce you guys to my friend here." He pointed to another boy with blue hair.
"Aren't libraries for reading?" the guy asked.
"Thank you!" Ren yelled.
"Stop being a nerd." Sun rolled his eyes.
"Intellectual." The kid said.
"Stupid man get to the point, who is he." I tapped my foot.
"I'm Neptune." He smiled.
"Where are you from?" Weiss asked.
"Haven." He walked over to her and moved me from my seat to get close to Wiess "And what's your name Snow Angel."
"He touched me…I'm going to smash him!" I seethed.
"Down girl." Ruby patted my shoulder.
"I am Weiss." The girl said.
"Playing board games, never took you for that." Sun told Blake.
"Too many men…too much flirting." I grumbled "HMM!"
"Is that cold back?" Ruby asked as I coughed into my hand.
"Just…getting over the last bit." I said "I'm fine."
Shit…again already?
Later
We mucked around in the library for a while longer before heading back to the room, Blake had gone back earlier so she was already in her bed.
"Hold it." Weiss said as Blake walked by her "You've been quiet and antisocial the last few days."
"Sounds like standard Blake to me." Yang laughed sitting on her bed.
"Yes I get that it's kind of your thing." Wiess made air-quotes "But no you've been doing it more than usual and frankly it's unacceptable. We're a team, you're supposed to let us know if something is wrong."
"So then what's wrong!" Weiss stood on a chair "Oh…"
She quickly put the chair back "So?"
"I just don't understand why everyone is so calm." Blake said.
"You're still thinking about Torchwick?" Ruby asked.
"Who cares about that guy." I rubbed my shoulder "Next time we see him I'll crush him, if I had been there the first time I'm sure we could have stopped him."
"Torchwick, the White Fang, all of it." Blake said "Something big is happening and no one is doing a damn thing about it."
"Ozpin told us not to worry, leave it to the police and the huntsmen." Yang shrugged "They can handle it."
"Can they?!" Blake yelled "They don't know the White Fang like I do."
"I'm sure between blowing up nightclubs, stopping thieves, fighting for freedom…and just straight up fighting." Weiss looked at the four of us "I'm sure you four think you're all set to go out on a crusade for justice but I will once again speak with reason, we are students, we can't handle something like this, we're not ready."
"Well they won't just sit there and wait!" Blake yelled "They're already planning, something is coming whether we like it or not!"
"Okay fearless leader." I looked at Ruby "What's the plan?"
"Okay…all in favor of becoming the youngest huntresses to single handedly take down and evil organization conspiring against Vale raise your say Aye!"
"YES!" Yang yelled.
"Let's fight." I smirked.
"Well it could be fun." Weiss shrugged.
"No one said aye." Ruby pouted.
Later
"HMM!" I rolled around in my bed, that uncomfortable itching running through my body.
School was pretty much the worst place for me to get the shakes like this, in town I can just sneak into an alley and mug someone, that doesn't work well in school.
"Hngh." I bit lip and dug my nails into my arm "I can't…ACK!"
I coughed, my body sweating a bit somehow the others were all in a deep sleep, undisturbed by my sounds as I trudged out of the room, or so I thought.
"Leona?" Ruby leaned out the door "Are you okay?"
I need it…I need it…
"Ruby." I jumped her and pinned her arms against the wall
"Hey!"
"I need it." I told her "Help me Ruby."
"I…what do you need?" she said confused.
I cut her arm with a small knife, red blood trickling out the small cut.
Such a deep red…just like her hair.
"AAHH!" she yelped in pain.
"HMM!" I started licking her arm "delicious…"
"What are you…doing?" Ruby panted.
"I'm sorry…" I licked her arm "I'll explain…in the morning."
I fell back and closed my eyes.
Later
I woke up in bed, I figured Ruby had dragged my back into the room after I passed out.
I met Ruby on the roof the next morning, her right arm was wrapped near the bicep area. The conversation was awkward but she was thankfully understanding.
"So you're basically addicted to blood?" she asked "Like a drug?"
"That's the best way to put it I suppose." I shrugged "I'm sorry I jumped you like that it was just…I was so itchy."
"It's fine, I'm just glad your back to normal." She smiled "If it comes up again just let me know with this new mission you'll need to be in top shape so if you get those withdraw symptoms again…I'm more than happy to share a little with you."
"Ruby…" I lowered my eyes "Thank you. Can we…just keep this between us?"
"Sure." She smiled.
