Hey. My college classes are a lot lighter then I imagined, so I will be able to update at least twice a week. But, no promises. Here is chapter 15, hope you enjoy.
"Where could he have gone?" Ruby asked. "We have been looking everywhere."
"I don't know, Ruby, I don't know." Weiss responded. Weiss and Ruby had gone off to look for Ren, they had looked all night and the sun was just peeking through the horizon.
"Ruby, you look tired, are you sure you want to continue looking?" Weiss asked, as she looked at Ruby. Ruby was walking very slowly, and she had eye bags underneath her eyes.
"Yeah, I am fine, it is nothing a good coffee can't fix." Ruby said.
"Yeah, lets go try to find a cafe somewhere around here." Weiss said.
It was another 20 minutes before Weiss and Ruby were able to find a cafe that was open. Ruby held the door open for Weiss as they both walked in.
"Ruby, go find us a seat, I will get you some coffee." Weiss said.
"Okay" Ruby said cheerfully.
Weiss returned to Ruby with a black coffee for herself, and a coffee with cream and five sugars for Ruby. Ruby took a sip of her coffee and gagged.
"Agh, why is it so sweet." Ruby said.
"I thought you liked cream and five sugars, I should have asked I am sorry, Ruby." Weiss said sadly.
"No, no it is fine, it just surprised me that all." Ruby said. "There wasn't any cream or sugar in the prison so I guess I kinda got used to black coffee" Ruby tried taking another swig of her coffee, but she clearly made a disgusted face, before managing to fix her face into her normal grin.
"Ruby, are you sure you want that coffee?" Weiss said. "I could give you some of mine?"
"But isn't that an indirect kiss?" Ruby asked.
"Oh, come on Ruby we have done more then regular kissing now, this shouldn't be a problem." Weiss said. Handing Ruby the cup.
"Okay" Ruby said, as she grabbed Weiss's cup and took a small sip, before sighing. "Thanks"
"no problem" Weiss said as she took a swig for herself. Then handing the cup back to Ruby. They kept trading off the cup of coffee between them and before long, There wasn't any coffee left.
"So Ruby should we go, or we could rest for a little while and talk about our wedding." Weiss asked.
"Sure, lets talk about that." Ruby said.
"So who is going to be your maid of honor" Weiss asked. Suddenly a loud explosion could be heard from far away, Weiss and Ruby turned there heads to a window in the cafe in time to see a huge fire ball erupt into the air.
"Ren?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah, probably" Weiss said, she was a little sad that she was not able to talk to Ruby about their wedding, but she could not think about that now she had more important things to do.
Ruby and Weiss ran out of the cafe, weapons in hand, Ruby had already gotten out her scroll and was currently calling every one else.
"Hey, did you see th" Ruby began.
"yeah, already on our way" Jaune said. He was with Pyrrha and Nora.
"me to, although I have to drop Blake off at the house quickly so leave some fun for me" Yang said.
Ruby hanged up her scroll and continued running.
By the time Weiss had got up with Ruby, who was running much faster then she ever thought possible even with Ruby's semblance, Ruby was already in the mist of fighting what appeared to be a mix of thugs, and White Fang members with Ren. Weiss joined the fight as well and yelled at Ren, "Why are we fighting here, what is so important?"
"This is where Neo and Mercury are, and if we want to find out where Roman is we are going to have to question them." Ren yelled back.
"what does Ren mean by question them, is he going to torture them. Who cares if anyone deserves to be tortured it is them... Right?" Weiss thought.
Soon everyone was fighting, and Ren and Ruby had gone ahead.
"Oh hello, Ruby it is nice to see, you old friend." Mercury said with a sneer.
"Ren go ahead I'll deal with this idiot right here." Ruby said.
"Okay" Ren said not stopping.
"Hey did you just call me an idiot, that my be true but that did hurt my feelings." Mercury said.
"Oh, shut up" Ruby said as she attacked Mercury with an overhead strike with her scythe. They continued fighting, until Mercury managed to kick Crescent Rose from her hands.
"Oops, what are you going to do now" Mercury said.
Ruby punched Mercury hard on the face, making him stagger back. "oh, wow, prison did wonders for you." Mercury tried doing a round house kick, but Ruby ducked under the kick, and did a foot sweep that took out the only leg that Mercury was standing on. Mercury fell down hard.
"yeah, prison did help me a lot" Ruby said as she grabbed Crescent Rose from the ground, as Mercury stood up.
"Oh ho ho. You are going to pay for that" Mercury said angrily.
"You are welcome to try." Ruby responded.
A few hours later, Mercury and Neo were tightly tied to some chairs, and they had blindfolds on. Ren splashed some water on there face waking them both up.
"Know you are going to tell us exactly where Roman Torchwick is" Ren said.
"In your dreams." Mercury spat out. Neo looked away with a defiant look on her face.
"Great, now lets get started." Ren said as he grabbed a car battery with two jumper cables attached to it.
Screams could be heard for hours as Ren "questioned" Mercury and Neo.
"Ruby, I think we should stop Ren, this is getting out of hand." Weiss said as she winced from hearing Mercury scream in more agony then she thought possible.
"Weiss, I know that what we are doing might be a little" Ruby said.
"Horrible, inhuman, unethical." Weiss tried.
"Unusual." Ruby finished. "Weiss, you know that they are not going to tell us where Roman is, without any encouragement."
"And this is the encouragement, you were referring to!" Weiss screamed. "Ruby, let me try, I can convince them."
"Fine" Ruby disappeared into the room and both her and Ren came out a few seconds later. Ren went over to the sink and his hands appeared to be stained with what appeared to be blood, he began washing his hands.
Weiss walked in the room to find a very horrible sight, Mercury was still attached to the chair, but one of his eyes was swollen shut, and he had multiple deep cuts around his chest, one of his fingers was crooked, and he had scorch markers on his chest as well.
"Mercury, you look like shit." Weiss said.
"I've been through worse." Mercury said in a raspy voice.
"Stop doing this to yourself Mercury" Weiss said in a sympathetic voice. "Just tell us where Roman is"
"Go the hell." Mercury said.
"Just tell us. Ren is not going to stop until you tell him or he kills you." Weiss said.
"I am no snitch." Mercury said.
"Please Mercury" Weiss asked. Getting close to Mercury's face.
Mercury spat at her face, but since Ren had punched him multiple times in the face, the saliva was mixed with blood. "As I said before go. to. hell"
Weiss walked away as she wiped the spit off of her face, she began to cry, she had tried to save Mercury from a horrible death, but he had out right refused her help. For the first time in a long time Weiss had felt powerless, truly power less, and that made her sick to her stomach.
Weiss walked out of them room, to find Ren waiting for her. "Any luck."
"no, yo-you can continue" Weiss said her voice breaking.
"Okay" Ren said, as he walked back in the torture room.
Weiss ran to Ruby arms, almost tackling Ruby to the ground. "Whoa, Weiss are you okay? What happened?"
"No, can you hold me" was Weiss's only response as she drove her head into the crook of Ruby's neck.
"Wow, this has really done a number on you" Ruby said a little worriedly.
Weiss started to cry into Ruby's neck. Ruby picked Weiss up and brought her to their room, so that Ruby could take care of her properly, by cuddling her and whispering sweet words of comfort. "Roman could wait, right now I need to take care of a crying Weiss, and that kind of Weiss, Ruby could never have." Ruby thought as she shut the door to her room with her leg, because her arms were already occupied by carrying a crying Weiss, bridal style.
Ren took his mothers death kinda hard, huh? Hope you enjoyed, please write some reviews it really helps me to keep writing.
