Hey, hope you enjoy chapter 16.
"Ruby, why do you agree with Ren?" Weiss asked as she lay in Ruby's arms.
"Well, I know Roman and I have realized that the only way that we can defeat him, is if we get down and dirty. Fight fire with fire." Ruby said.
"I don't think that you are correct Ruby. The if we start doing this we will become just as bad as Roman." Weiss said.
"Weiss, sometimes we do bad things for the right reasons. That does not mean that we are just as bad as Roman" Ruby responded.
"Ruby, are you serious." Weiss responded.
"Weiss, Mercury will never give Roman up and you know that." Ruby said. "I think that what we are doing to Mercury is not right, but it is also not wrong, it is in the little gray area between the two."
"How can you say such a thing. The Ruby that I knew in Beacon would never say such a thing" Weiss said worriedly.
"We'll maybe I am not the same Ruby you met at Beacon." Ruby said. As she removed her arms around Weiss and sat by the edge of the bed.
"What are you talking about, Ruby. Of course you are." Weiss said.
"No, I am not" Ruby said as she tightly griped the covers of the bed. "Weiss, I went to prison for a year, and I know that I joke about it a lot but it was not all dandelions and daisies all the time, you know. I had to survive in a prison where everyone wanted to rape me, or want me dead. I could never have a good night sleep for most of my time there. The only time that I got a good night sleep, was after a guard assaulted me, I defended myself and because I did I was sent to solitary for three weeks! and it was only then that I finally got a goodnight sleep. And you want to know, how I got so good in hand to hand combat, so fast. Normally it takes people years of training, to get where I am, right now. We'll I had to go through hours of brutal training every day. Every day was a beating. A part of the Ruby, that you once knew died in that prison."Ruby sighed before starting again. "Weiss, I went to a place where nobody was my friend, and everyone wanted to do something bad to me. You have no idea what I went through"
"Ruby, I know what you went through, when I was still in Schnee manor, everyone just wanted something for me. My parent never saw me as their daughter, they saw me as the future of the company, I was never anything special to them. The servants only got close to me to see if my parents would give them a raise, and any friendly people I ever meet only wanted to get close to me so they could get close to my parents. Ruby I know exactly how you feel."
"Ruby, I can't believe that. Ruby I saw you forgive Ren for betraying you. You also forgave me for not believing in you when you needed me the most." Weiss said as she put her arms around Ruby's neck and laid her head on her shoulder. "Ruby, you are still the same Ruby I know since Beacon."
Something clicked in Ruby's mind, and maybe it was Weiss convincing her that part of her is still there, but she found herself wanting to believe that Weiss was right. "Okay, I will tell Ren to stop, what here." Ruby said.
Ruby entered the torture room, just in time to see Ren slowly cutting Mercury's chest with a small knife. "Ren, a word."
"Sure, but I think you came just in time for Mercury to tell us where Roman is" Ren said as he placed a hand on Mercury's shoulder. "Isn't that right, Mercury."
"In your dreams." Mercury spat.
"Oh, thats okay I wasn't done with you" Ren said.
"Now! Ren" Ruby said. As she walked out of the room.
"I'll be right back." Ren said as he walked out of the room.
"Ren, I think you should stop, what we are doing here is wrong." Ruby said.
"What, you were fine about it a few hours ago." Ren said. "I don't care what you think Ruby, I am going to continue what I am doing"
"Ren, Stop, this is not going to bring your mother back." Ruby said.
"I know it won't but it still makes me feel a hell of a lot better." Ren said as he walked toward the torture room.
Ruby reached out her hand and grabbed his arm. "Ren please stop"
"Fine, I'll stop." Ren said, but walked out the house. "I am going for a walk."
A week later
"hey, Ruby, I know that we are still looking for Roman, but I was thinking that we could maybe talk about our wedding? We still haven't talked about it at all." Weiss asked.
"Sure Weiss, it isn't like we are going to find Roman anytime soon." Ruby said. As she pulled up a chair for Weiss to sit in.
"Okay" Weiss said, as she sat down.
"Who's last name should we take" Ruby asked.
"Ruby, could we take your last name. Mine will only bring us trouble" Weiss said.
"Sure"
"Okay, who is going to be your maid of honor" Weiss asked.
"Yang, how about you?" Ruby said.
"I think mine is going to be, Jaune." Weiss joked. They both laughed. "No, I think mine is going to be Pyrrha."
"Why, Pyrrha?" Ruby asked.
"Pyrrha helped me a lot when you were in prison, I was in kind of a bad place, but Pyrrha showed me that I still had friends." Weiss said. "Okay moving on. When do you want to have the wedding."
"Winter." Ruby said.
"Why, winter?" Weiss said.
"Well, I think you would look beautiful in the winter, with your cheeks all red and the the snow would contrast your skin perfectly." Ruby said.
"Oh, okay" Weiss said, as she felt a blush reach her face.
"Well, lets continue. Where do you think we should get married." Ruby said.
"Lets do it in the church near your house. I thought that, that church was really beautiful" Weiss said.
"Oh, I see you have been thinking on this." Ruby said.
"Yeah, I have. But, Ruby where should we go to our honey moon." Weiss asked.
"How about we go to an island that I heard about near Patch it is suppose to be very beautiful, and the best part is that it is always warm, even in the winter." Ruby said.
"That sounds great, Ruby." Weiss said as she softly grabbed one of Ruby's hand, she began to kiss the back of her hand softly. "Ruby, do you know what."
"What." Ruby said as she closed her eyes. Whenever Ruby felt Weiss kiss her, she felt shocks of pleasure shoot through her.
"All this taking about our wedding, has made me want to marry you now." Weiss said.
"Oh, really." Ruby said, as she moved her lips closer to Weiss's
"Yeah" Weiss said, as she also moved her lips closer to Ruby's.
There lips were just about to meet, when Emerald burst into the room. Yelling "I know where Roman is, but I need your help to get him."
Is Emerald lying, or does she actually want to kill Roman? Please write some Reviews, they really help me to keep writing.
