"So," Dark started, "this universe doesn't have the happiest ending. In fact it's more scary than anything."
"Then why are we watching it?" Ruby asked.
"Cause whether or not we view it here, it doesn't change the fact that it exists," Dark answered, "Think of it as watching a movie."
"But aren't there universes that any movies events actually happen?" Blake asked.
"Yes, but it's just easier if you don't think about it while watching. We won't watch it if you really don't want to."
"I'm okay with watching," Yang shrugged, "I like a good scare."
The others agreed to watch the universe and took their seats once more.
The screen turned on, showing Tai driving a car with Ruby and Yang in the back seat, in the middle of the night. They were lost on a country road in the middle of nowhere.
"That's a situation we're familiar with," Yang grumbled.
"Dad," Yang asked, "are you sure this is the right way?"
"Yes, I'm sure," their father responded, "This is a shortcut. We'll be there before you know it."
Yang stayed quiet, she was completely sure that they were lost and her dad had no idea where they were, but she didn't want to start an argument.
"Yang," Ruby said excitedly, pointing out her window, "Look at that mansion over there."
There was indeed a mansion not far from the road, but it looked very old. The wooden boards were painted a midnight black and there were matching curtains behind the dusty windows.
"It doesn't look like anyone's been there for a while," Yang commented.
Suddenly, there was a bang, and the car swerved of the road, finally stopping in the ditch.
"You girls okay," Tai called from the front seat.
"We're fine," Ruby grunted.
"What happened?" Yang asked.
"Not sure," their father responded, "but I want everyone out of the car while I check out the engine."
The two sisters obeyed their father. Ruby winced and grabbed her side when she stepped out.
"Ruby," Yang called, rushing over to her younger sister, "are you okay?"
"I'm fine," she responded, "my side hurts a little though."
They watched as he opened the hood, only to be greeted by a pillar of smoke.
"It's worse than I thought," he wheezed, "too bad I didn't bring my tools with me."
"Yeah…" Yang said, "too bad…"
"What does that mean?" Blake asked.
"Our dad is…" Ruby started, "not the best when it comes to fixing things."
"That's putting it lightly," Yang muttered.
"Yang," he continued, "could you go see if there's anyone who could help us over there?" He gestured towards the mansion.
"I don't think anyone lives there," Yang complained, "It looks like nobodies bothered to clean it in years."
Just as she finished speaking it started raining, and not just a light rain, it was pouring unlike anything they had ever seen before.
"Everyone in the car," their father yelled. They started pulling on the door handles, but to no avail.
"It's locked," Ruby cried.
"How did that happen?" Weiss asked.
"Come on," Tai said, "we'll have to go inside the mansion for now. Hopefully the owners won't mind."
"Something tells me they will," Blake stated.
They all ran to the mansion. Surprisingly, the door opened without difficulty, but they didn't question it as they all ran inside.
Ruby was gasping for breath, holding her side. She fell over.
"Ruby!" Yang rushed to her younger sister, catching her before she hit the ground.
Tai, remaining calm though he was nervous, asked his younger daughter, "How do you feel."
"I'm feeling better now," Ruby wheezed, "but it hurt to breathe before."
"You must have broken a rib," he guessed.
Weiss winced, "Even with Aura that is going to take a while to heal."
They stayed quiet for a while.
"Where did that storm come from?" Yang broke the silence.
"I don't know," Tai answered, "the sky was clear just before…"
"Well that doesn't sound good," Blake commented.
"What do you mean?" Ruby asked.
"Well storms don't just appear out of nowhere," Blake explained, "especially one's that big."
"Are you saying someone caused it?" Weiss asked.
"Or something," Blake finished.
"Ooo," Nora said, "ominous."
"Well it doesn't look like it's going to clear out anytime soon," Tai continued, "let's get some rest. We'll see if the storm has passed us tomorrow."
Little did they know that something was watching them from above. There was a flash of black and white, like something moving very quickly across the screen, and then it was gone.
The next morning when they woke up the storm was still raging outside.
"I was sure the storm would have passed us by now," Tai said, rubbing the back of his head, "Yang, I want you to go look for anyone who might live here. We're intruding on their home and I want them to know that we will be leaving as soon as the storm clears up."
"If anyone lives here," Yang commented, rubbing dust off of her clothes, "They haven't bothered to clean in years."
"That was rude," Ruby whacked her sister.
"It wasn't me," Yang protested.
"Just do it," her father said.
"Yeah, yeah…" Yang grumbled. She started to walk through the hallways of the house. They looked as old as the rest of the building and were long and narrow.
"Hello!" She called out, "anyone there?" she turned a corner. There was a door at the end of this hallway, which was open. And there was someone standing in the doorway, but they were covered in shadows. The only thing Yang could see were the person's pale blue eyes that shone in the dark.
"Oh," Yang said, the person started to walk forward "um, sorry to intrude, but we crashed outside and we're waiting for the storm to pass by. I hope you don't mind."
The figure started walking forward still in shadow.
"Um, hello. Can you hear me?" Yang asked.
The figure kept walking forward, and Yang swore she saw fangs.
"Oooo," Nora gasped in excitement, "Is that a vampire?"
"Don't be ridiculous," Weiss said, "Vampires are just myths."
"Umm," Dark said, "What part of infinite universes don't you understand."
"Are you going to say anything?" Yang asked, but there was still no answer. The figure finally stopped when she was right in front of Yang, who could finally make out some of their features. The first thing she saw was the person's face was extremely pale. They had icy white hair that reached down to their sides.
"Hey, it's Weiss!" Ruby shouted.
"Yes, Ruby," Weiss groaned, "we've been over this. So please just be quite."
But the thing that struck Yang the most was that they definitely did have fangs, sticking out of their devilish grin.
The screen changed back to Ruby and Tai.
They heard a scream.
"Yang!" Tai shouted and started running toward the hallway that he had seen Yang go through. Leaving Ruby by herself.
There was silence for a while, then they heard another scream.
"D-dad!" Ruby cried, "Guys this isn't funny! Come out!"
There was no answer. Everything was quite. Then, Ruby saw pale blue eyes staring at her from the shadows.
She gasped and took off as fast as she could, keeping her eye on the figure in the shadows. She wasn't watching where she was going and bumped into something. She quickly turned her head and saw her older sister facing the other way.
"Yang!" Ruby cried in joy, though she was wondering to herself 'Was Yang always that pale?'
"Come on! We have to get out of here!" She said, but Yang wouldn't budge. Then Ruby saw two circular holes in Yang's neck. She gasped as Yang turned around revealing two fangs.
"Ruby… can't… breathe…"
She screamed as her sister lunged at her in a bloodlust fury. But, nothing happened. Ruby opened her eyes to see her older sister on the floor, a wooden stake through her heart. Then everything went black.
When she woke up again she was on a table of some kind. Her arms and legs were bolted down onto the table, which was at an angle.
"Ah, you're awake now," a voice said. Ruby looked around and she saw the figure from before, now visible, "Good. I like my victims awake, and I haven't had a decent meal in centuries."
"Wh-what do you want?" Ruby stuttered.
"I'm starving Ruby Rose," she simply stated, Ruby wondered how this person knew her name, "the other two you came with only provided small snacks that I didn't particularly care for, but I get the feeling that you will make quite the delectable meal."
"I-I'm sorry, but the only thing I can really make is cookies," Ruby said.
She blinked, "You dolt! I'm a vampire! I'm talking about you! You're the meal!"
"Oh," Ruby whimpered, "So, you're gonna turn me into a vampire?"
"I suppose that's all you humans remember about vampires," the vampire scoffed, "I'll tell you something about vampires that very few people know. Humans will taste different depending on how pure they are. The two that came with you tasted average for a human, but you. I can tell just by looking at you that you are more pure than they. Turning you into a vampire would require leaving something left behind, which would be like you leaving your favorite meal unfinished. No, Ruby Rose, I am not turning you into a vampire. I am going to suck you dry."
She started to walk closer, her fangs showing in a wicked grin.
"N-no, please," Ruby begged, but to no avail. The vampire closed in on her. Just as the vampire was about to bite into Ruby's neck, the screen changed to the outside of the mansion. Where they could still here Ruby screaming.
Everyone turned to the hooded scythe wielder to see her hugging a now blue Yang, shaking.
"Ruby," Dark said calmly, "you're suffocating Yang."
She slowly let go, but she was still shaking.
"Are you going to be okay?" Weiss asked.
"I-I'll be fine," Ruby said.
"Why would you have her watch that?!" Weiss turned to Dark.
"She agreed to it and I did warn her," Dark shrugged, "Trust me when I say I'm one of the nicer multiverse travelers."
"What do you mean?" Weiss asked.
"There are more like you?" Blake asked
"Yes there are more like me," Dark answered, "But many of those who do this sort of thing do so without even giving those they are with a choice at all. They choose what happens. There are even some that would make you feel the pain that your counterparts receive."
Teams RWBY and JNPR seemed repulsed at the idea.
"Why would someone do that?" Jaune asked.
"Like I said about myself," Dark answered, "entertainment. Some people just have a twisted view on what entertainment is. You can leave at any time, and I'll understand if you do now."
"I'm fine with staying," Ruby said, "Other than this one, I've had a good time so far." The others agreed with her.
"Alright then," Dark said, "The next one should be a bit more lighthearted, so let's get on with it."
AN: Happy Halloween everyone! I decided that I wasn't going to do the challenges. It just wasn't gonna work out without me getting quite a few reviews complaining about them, and I just don't want to deal with that. If you guys want anyone else to watch just ask, or it will be just RWBY and JNPR, but no villians though. Also, this was my first time writing a horror story, so please tell me what you thought of it.
Keep it simple.
