Not realizing that there was a new person listening to the story. Coco said, "Can I hear the rest of that story." As the fashionista looking at the photographer visually undressing her. Ruby giggle turned into a small laugh. Ruby said, "Sure." Velvet shouted, "No." Shortly after. Velvet then asked Blushing like a cherry, "You ready to talk?" The archer said "Let me take a shower first." Ruby still feeling the pain from last night, but also a warmth the she thought was extinguished a long time ago.
After Ruby was done and everyone else finished the red head sighed, as everyone took a seat on the 2 beds in the room. (This is more of an apartment then dorm with multiple bedrooms, since they earned it.) The red head looked at the ground and said, "Before I tell you I should let you know I am a coward. So I run from my emotions rather than face them." Everyone except for Velvet said "Ok?" Not really understanding what Ruby meant. Ruby sighed, "Back when I was still a naive kid my family owned a dust shop, we were able to use a system without involving the Schnees. Then one day Jacques came he was pissed, he accused us of stealing their supply of dust." Before Ruby could continue Coco asked, "Why didn't you try to defend yourselves?" The archer sighs, "We use to live in Atlas, people will be more willing to support those with power, than those who don't. Knowing we had no choice we were forced to give up everything. We were only left with the clothes on our back." Ruby started to tear up. Taking a shaky breath Ruby continued, "Were living on the streets for months. All our friends abandoned us, food was scares and the White Fang came to us. They offered us help, my family saw through their lies but I was blinded by my hatred. I don't know how they got to Menagerie, I left them for the White Fang before that." Ruby was starting to shake slightly, and crying. Ruby looked up a Velvet then at everyone else, "I joined the White Fang, I joined them because I wanted to hut the people that hurt me and my family." Ruby chocked out the last to words as if they were cutting off her air supply. Then said, "What happened in the White Fang, I will never tell." Then got up Velvet grabbed Ruby's hand. The red head looked at Velvet and sat back down. The 2 rabbit faunus hugged each other. Ruby balling into her older sister's arm. Coco at the time was getting steadily angrier at the mention of her girlfriends family's hard life. Then Coco got up, walked over to the 2 hugging Faunus and spoke in a calm tone, "Ruby you a braver then you realize, you told us what happened and where you went. Mind it that you didn't tell us everything-." Ruby crumbled blurted out before she could think, "I tried to find a way to turn humans into faunus, I crated drugs that made the White Fang near invincible, and finally all their weapons are so powerful you could kill 10 packs of alfa Ursa's. The process of turning humans into faunus killing people because of how violent the serum was to the human body. I murdered exactly 100 people with-." Before Ruby could continue Coco slapped Ruby. The red head was shocked. When she looked at the fashionista she was surprised to see the fashionista was crying. Coco shouted, "Enough, you did bad thing under a bad man. You are now trying to make amends, it is not easy to confess to your past sins. That is the past, you are changing for the better right?" Ruby looked down then said, "I am a runner, but no matter how fast I run my past will catch up to me. Yes I am trying to make amends." Ruby then got up looking at looked Coco into her sunglasses and said, "Before today, if you had asked me about my past I would of shrugged it off. Maybe tell you about how my family lost everything. Now I feel like I can finally stand strong. If you and your team can forgive me." Coco sighed and said, "Only one person on our team needs to forgive you, you have done nothing to us." Everyone (except for Fox,) looking at the faunus behind the archer. When Ruby looked at Velvet, Velvet said, "I forgave you the day you returned to us, and I know for a fact our parents forgive you." The Archer felt something in her heart, like a glimmer of light. Ruby then smiled a real smile, Ruby said in a happier tone, "Thank you I feel better now."
Before anything else could happen Fox and Velvet say, "You hear that?" Ruby nodes now tuning back into the world around her. Everyone else shook their heads. Then Fox says, "It sounds like something is scratching at the door to our dorm." Fox walks off, when he comes back a black and white Corgi walked into the room. Ruby and Velvet both climbed on to the tallest things in the room, then a fuming white haired heiress followed by a worried blond walk into the room. The white haired heiress spoke first, "Do you have any idea how worried you made us yesterday when you didn't return." Ruby opened her mouth to say something but Weiss cut her off, "You were in a bad place so what, do you regret it." Ruby nodded slightly not noticing Both Velvet and Coco both cuddling and watching them. Weiss then said, "What you have done can't be undone, so you have to own up to it, or be destroyed by it. Trust me I know what it is like being under a bad person being forced to do things you wouldn't normally do given the chance." When Weiss finished everyone was silent. Ruby was the most shocked out of everyone in the room. When Ruby spoke it was in a quiet tone, "I did do it out of my own free will but now I regret ever doing what I did in the first place, are you mad?" Weiss said, "At first I was, but Yang helped open up my eyes to both sides. I will hear your story but first we need you to get back to our room."
