Hey everyone... well... I can say that I wrote this while being depressed so here is Chapter 4... before I start, I'm actually going to start on Yang's perspective… that's about it let's begin…


I could hear the wind blowing into my room from the open window. I opened my eyes slowly, only to be blinded by the sun that peeked over the horizon. It's morning… maybe I can squeeze in a few more minutes of- Before I can finish my thought, the door opened. Three. Two. One. "Rise and shine sweetie, time for a new day." Dad's voice was annoyingly cheerful this morning.

I groaned and pulled the covers over me. "Five more minutes dad." I pleaded in a tired voice.

"Breakfast is already ready so I can't allow that."

"What's for breakfast?" I asked.

"Pancakes?"

I smiled. "Alright, I'm up, is Ruby up?"

He shrugged. "I was about to go wake her but since you're up, you can do it." His voice seemed strangely… sad.

"Dad, are you alright?"

He sighed. "Your mother and I were arguing with your sister last night about her being out of the house so much and she told us that she was hanging out with the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company."

"You mean Weiss?" I asked.

"Yes, we weren't happy about that and then Ruby said that she loved her."

My eyes widened. Ruby's in love with Weiss? How come she never told me? I thought and felt hurt. Why would she hide that from me? I'm her sister and… well sisters support each other. I sat up on my bed and sighed. "I hope you weren't too hard on her dad; Ruby knows what's right and I trust her. If she loves her, then it's official."

My dad was surprised. "What?! But Weiss is a bad influence to her and-"

"Dad, you don't know that! I mean... I don't know either but I didn't see Ruby being strange around Blake when she came over."

"True, but… we have some history with her father and the last thing we need is-" Before he can finish, my mother entered the room quickly. "What's wrong Summer?" he asked.

She looked like she had seen a ghost. "Dan's here."

His expression darkened but I was confused. "Who's Dan?"

My dad turned to me. "That… is Weiss's father. Just stay in here okay?"

"But-"

He gave me a look that told not to argue with him. Why does he want me to stay? They left the room and closed the door. I took the time to change into my clothing for the day, a yellow zip-up hoodie with a black shirt. I can't just stay in here, I need to check on Ruby. I thought and quietly opened the door, silently making my way to my little sister's room. Behind me, I can hear my mom and dad talking to Weiss's father who had a deep and kind of intimidating voice.

I opened the door to Ruby's room slowly, in case she was still asleep. "Ruby? Are you awake?" I called softly. No response. I walked in and turned to her bed but it was empty. She's not here. I took a look around, her bag was missing and her scythe, Crescent Rose was nowhere to be found. Wait she couldn't have! I began to panic. Then I felt a gust of wind from the window nearby, wait… she doesn't keep the window open while she's sleeping! D-did she run away?! No! I can't just think that, maybe she just went to the bathroom. Yeah, I'll check there. I thought and tried to remain calm as I slowly went towards the restroom in the hallway between my room and hers. I knocked on the door softly. "Ruby? Are you in there?" Another few louder knocks. "Ruby?" I checked the knob and it wasn't locked. I opened the door and realized that the lights were off and no one was in here.

"Holy shit! Ruby's missing!" I exclaimed, not caring about being quiet anymore. I ran down the stairs and into the living room where my parents were. I finally saw Weiss's father in person. He had short, white hair and was taller than everyone, including me. He wore a white suit and had this sort of mysterious and intimidating vibe.

"Well look who decided to show up," he said in an annoyed tone.

I ignored him and turned to my mom and dad. "Ruby's missing, she's not in her room."

They both widened their eyes and stood up from the couch they were sitting on but Dan was the most shocked. "That brat's not here?!" He groaned. "I knew it! My daughter came here last night and took her with her!"

"W-what?!" I exclaimed. "You knew since last night and you pick now to tell us?!"

He was burning with anger. "Listen here before your anger gets the best of you. Your idiotic sister and my daughter were lovers, according to Weiss, but I couldn't have possibly known that she would come here right when she left! Where they ran off to, I don't know!"

The man had a point, it's only been a night since they disappeared… which means they could still be here! "Mom! Dad! We need to find them quick. If it's only been one night they couldn't have gotten far!" I said.

They nodded. "Summer, you go with Yang to Vale, Dan and I will check the forest and ask some of our neighbors if they've seen them." My dad said.

"Okay, you better be careful when you're in the forest Tai."

"Don't worry. I'm a Huntsman, remember?"

She smiled and turned to me. "Let's go." We walked outside and began walking but then she stopped me. "Did you try calling her on her scroll?"

"Ah, not yet. I'll try that." I pulled out my scroll and tried to call her. "It sent me to voicemail."

She sighed. "Let's get going then."


We made our way to the city and looked around for her and Weiss. "We should split up and ask around instead of look."

I gave her a nod. "I'll check the northern part."

"Okay, but be careful."

"I will." I turned around and walked towards the north, asking people along the way until I saw someone familiar walk out of a fancy hotel with a hood over her head, barely catching a glimpse of her facial features. Was that Ruby? I thought and followed after the person. I made sure that she didn't see me tailing her as I got closer, then I tapped their shoulder. "Um excuse me?" I started, trying to sound casual until the girl turned around, it was Weiss. "Weiss? What are you doing here?"

She gave me a nervous look and began walking away from me. "That's none of your business." the white-haired ice queen replied in a cold tone.
"Wait!" I shouted which made her stop and turn to me. "Look, I know about you and Ruby and it's alright, but my parents and your dad are-"

"I am not going back and neither will she!" she snapped, making me jump back in surprise.

"Why don't you want to go back?" I asked.

She sighed. "The last thing I want now is to go back to my life where I'm forced to do what makes my father happy… he doesn't know me as a daughter, only as the continuation of our stupid family legacy."

"Wha-"

"Don't say anymore about it."

"Um o-okay." What about my sister though, why doesn't she want to come back? "What about Ruby?"

"Your mother and father don't approve of us being together and the fact that they take their anger on her sometimes. In conclusion, we're not treated as family to our own."

"B-but she's my sister and I took care of her for years, I can't just say that she's yours now and leave."

"She misses you Yang… but she wanted this."

Weiss began walking again and I stopped her. "At least let me see her… I won't tell them where you two are."

Her eyes widened. "R-really?" she asked.

I nodded. "There is a catch though."

"What is it?"
"I'll visit sometimes to see how you two are doing, I'm not going to let Ruby think I don't care for her anymore, we're sisters."

She sighed. "Deal… well follow me." I followed her back to the fancy hotel I saw earlier. "We stopped here last night and… well I'm looking for a house we can live in right now."

My eyes widened. "Don't you need a lot of lien for that?"

"Don't worry, I got enough lien to last the both of us a couple of years." It seems she really prepared for this. I thought. We went in and walked straight into the elevator as the doors opened.

"This place looks really cool." I said as the elevator traveled upwards.

"It's decent." she replied.

"Decent?"

Weiss shrugged. "I've seen better."

"Oh." It went into an awkward silence that didn't last long as the elevator doors opened onto the twenty-third floor.

"We're close." We walked out and went towards a door at the end of the right hallway. "I'll go in first." She took out a pair of keys and unlocked the door, then she walked in to be greeted by my little sister.

"Weiss you're back!" she put her in a tight embrace, giggling as the princess tried to pry herself off of her.

"Of course I would be you dunce, now get off of me, someone's here to visit you."

She pulled away from Weiss, confused. "Who would visit me?"

I guess that's my cue. I walked in through the door with a smile. "Hey sis!"

Ruby's eyes widened in… horror? "Please don't take me back! Weiss, why would you bring her here!?"
Weiss tried to calm her down. "She won't tell our parents where we are so it's alright."

Silver eyes beamed at me. "Y-you won't, Yang?" Ruby asked, almost pleading by the tone in her voice.

"I won't, Ruby… it's just that I'm your sister and miss you so much." I replied and hugged her. It wasn't a bone crushing hug, it was an embrace that told her that I didn't want to let her go.

"I missed you too, even if it was for a night, I don't want to never be able to see you again."

I chuckled. "It's kinda funny, I mean like you said it's only been a night and for me, it feels like a long time since we saw each other."

She did the same. "Yeah… can you do me a favor Yang?"

"Sure Rubes… what is it?"

She pulled away and smiled. "Come with us."

Weiss and I gasped. "Ruby… but what about Blake?" I asked.

"Bring her too."

I shook my head quickly. "B-but, I can't just leave mom and dad behind."

Her expression saddened. "Okay… I-I understand." I felt like a dagger struck my chest. I-I didn't mean to make her sad. I'm just not sure if I'm ready for something like this. I thought and frowned.

"I-I'll think about it, I can't just decide right now." The whole living room went into silence, I looked up at the clock, it was close to evening. "I have to go." I walked out slowly and went down the elevator. As I left the hotel, it began to rain and my mother called me.

"Did you find them?" she asked.

Yes. "No… no I didn't." I replied in a soft and depressed tone.

"Oh…" she was silent on her end for a while but when I covered my other ear to hear her more clearly, I heard sobs, "let's go back home."

"I'll meet you there." I hung up and leaned against the wall. Never have I lied to her and I felt so guilty about it. What do I want, my sister or my parents? I asked myself. Before I can think anymore about it, I forgot someone… Blake. In an instant, I messaged my mother that I needed to talk to Blake and I'd be home later. I need to tell her about this. Despite the rain still pouring, I began walking in the direction of Blake's home. I can't leave Blake behind, even if I can see Ruby everyday. I just hope she'll say yes.
