Just like the first chapter, this one has recently been redone with the held of MasterGamer132e.
The interrogation room Ruby found herself in had not changed since last time. Besides the table and the four chairs arrayed around it, the room was empty. Just as the wolf-eared girl was about to get bored twiddling her glove covered fingers, the door opened, allowing a middle aged police officer to enter the small room.
He sat down and straightened his green tie before he started addressing the girl in front of him with a friendly tone.
"Hello miss Rose, say is this the fourth or already the fifth time some deputy brought you here so I can question you about the White Fang?"
"The fourth this month but the fifth overall, Detective Viridian."
"Well if it were up to me I would just send you home, but regulations say we have to do this again. So as last time I will start recording our conversation and start asking you some questions alright?"
"Sure, go ahead."
At that the policeman started the recording function on his scroll before he continued.
"Good, then would you please state your name, age, species, address and occupation please?"
"Ruby Rose, 11 years old, Faunus, Oak-way 4 Patch, Student."
Ruby hid her right hand slightly under the table, she didn't like lying to others but claiming to be a Faunus was the easiest way to explain her ears without telling people what she actually was.
"You are here today because a pair of junior detectives suspected you of involvement with the White Fang because of the Mask you are wearing, is that correct so far?"
"Yes."
"Then let's start with the obvious question, are you a Member of or involved with the White Fang?"
"No officer, I am not a part of those terrorists, and definitely not helping them despite this mask I am wearing."
"Then why did you refuse to take off that mask when you were asked to do so?"
Hearing this question, her ears lowered slightly, she was lucky they hadn't tried to force the 'mask' off the face that wasn't actually beneath it. Nonetheless she repeated the Story her Dad had given her to explain it in public.
"Because it hides a set of ugly scars I got during one of the last peaceful protests as someone decided the little girl in front of them needed to get activated burn dust thrown onto her face for having a pair of extra ears."
"Well, we won't force you to take it off so don't worry. But we noticed that your Aura has been unlocked since the last time you were here, would you tell me why?"
"Because I started training to get into Signal a year early."
A short burst of Surprise washed over the detective's face at that statement.
"Why would a nice girl like you want to attend a combat school. Let alone try to get in earlier than normal?"
"Well, you see Yang, my big sis, and I promised ourselves to always look out for each other. But if she starts at a Huntsman academy before me, we won't be on the same team and then how will we look out for each other if we are on different missions and-"
As she started to ramble on, She was interrupted by the man in front of her, now even more surprised than before.
"You are aware how dangerous the job of Huntsmen and huntresses is right? Why do you want to join their ranks at all?"
"Yes, I am aware of how dangerous it can be, after all my mom died on a mission. And if you really want to know, I want to help people, and show that a wolf isn't always the evil beast described in children's fairy tale books."
"Have you considered working for the Vale police department instead? We too are there to help the people of Vale."
"Well, I haven't really, but you see officer, everyone else in my family is a Huntsmen or training to be a Huntress. It's almost a family legacy."
"Then one of them is training with you, I assume?"
"Uhuh, my uncle Qrow is going to show me how to use a scythe like he does, but he insisted that we start training my Aura first, that's why it's unlocked."
"A wise decision as far as I remember my training at Signal. Say your uncle Qrow, is his last name Branwen by any chance?"
"Yeah it is, do you know my uncle?"
"Yes I do, he sometimes helps us track down criminals that try to escape the law by running into Grimm infested territories."
"Well if you want to catch up, he is coming to pick me up."
"Ah ok, I would have prefered your dad, because there is something I wanted to ask of you and I wanted to run it by your parent first."
"Why, what do you want from me Officer? I thought I wasn't in any trouble yet?"
"No nothing like that. As the Memo and Poster I put up both don't seem to have helped with my colleagues recognizing that your mask is different than what the White Fang have been using and that you have already been confirmed as unconnected to them. So I would like to ask you to add my Number to your scroll and either call me or ask the officers who want to bring you in to ask me first, There is no need for us to have to repeat this a sixth time."
Ruby took out her Scroll and handed it to the Officer. He then started writing his number and soon saved it into her contact list as. 'Detective Viridian'
He then handed her back the scroll.
"Good, then how about we see if your Uncle is here, and if he is not, I think there are still some donuts left in the kitchen, you can have mine while you wait."
So I actually planned to do weekly updates every Sunday, but with over 50 follows after one night I decided to give you all a couple more chapters out of my buffer.
