Weiss relucantly left her girlfriend's bedside to find something to eat, due to her unborn demanding food, meanwhile in a warehouse belonging to , an unexpected arrival was awakening from her slumber.
The top of the box came off easy when she applied the tiniest amount of strength to it and sluggishly climbed out of the empty meat container. She flinched slightly when her feet touched the cold floor. Looking around she spotted an open door and slowly began making her way out of the building.
No one noticed the small figure leaving the building and her footprints wouldn't be discovered until the following morning, long after she had vanished into the depths of Vale.
The human world was strange ,she concluded as she was wandering the back alleys of Vale. She could smell and feel the negative emotions around her yet they did nothing but inform her of where the humans were. That was how it always was, she prefered to eat other Grimm while her sister prefered the taste of human flesh.
That was why they were in the human nest that night. She had followed her sister in hopes of keeping her out of trouble, Instead they encountered a little red human who was not only able to wound her, but also killed her sister.
After dragging her broken body from beneath the rubble that the red hunter tried to bury her under, she slowly followed back along the hunter trails to the location of her sister's remains. She mourned for her sister of course, but in the end she was still a grimm and she needed to heal. Tearing into what remained, She devoured the body.
Feeling the familiar burn of her body's regeneration kicking in as well as exhaustion overcoming her, she quickly found a sheltered spot to bed down.
A noise broke the Grimm-girl out of her thoughts and drew her attention to the street visible between the buildings. She could see two...cars, yes that is the correct word, had hit one another and their...drivers were arguing with each other.
Humans are stupid but then, she was now human as well. Or at least partially. When she'd awoke the morning after the battle, she knew that something was different. Her body did not feel the same, she was lower to the ground and she could no longer feel her tail. Placing a hand out to push herself up, she saw not her powerful claws and armored skin, but instead the small and pale hand of a human.
Quickly, and awkwardly, she scrambled over to a nearby stream and stared at the reflection gazing back at her. Information that she never knew before came rushing forth as she took in everything.
Small, that was the first new word she would use to describe what had happened. Tiny was the next. To her mounting horror, she realized that in this new form she barely came up to the ankle of her old one. The next word she came to understand was weak, she was weak in this form and as a predator, weakness brought death.
The snapping of a twig immediatly had her attention and she looked up to see a young Beowolf creep out of the forest towards her. Curling her lips back, the Grimm turned girl gave her best attempt at a snarl, but it was little more than a hiss. The Beowolf was not detered and almost seemed to laugh it off.
Her?. An easy meal?!. The very thought of being seen as such by a lowly Beowolf enraged her. She launched herself at the Grimm and sank her teeth deep enough into it's neck to draw blood.
Taken completely by surprise, the Beowolf started frantically trying to dislodge the girl only for her to scramble up on to it's back. Mind still clouded by rage, she didn't notice as her hands and fingers morphed back into the familiar claws of her original form, what she did do was drive those claws deep into the wolf's neck and behead it in a shower of black blood.
Rage bled away into her primal instincts and she tore into the corpse before it could desolve. With each bite she consumed, she felt her mind change and grow. The wolf was young so it didn't last long but it provided enough to get her started.
When the next group of humans arrived, she knew they were there to kill her, so she struck first. Part of her hoped that the red hunter would be there, that part quickly became anger when she wasn't. After calming down she noticed something on one of the bodies. It was a small symbol which, before her transformation would of meant nothing but thanks to having consumed dozens of Grimm of varying ages, she now recognized it as the same one on the flying machine that came to help the red hunter.
With a goal in mind, she had set out across Menagerie. The forest gave way to desert which eventual became grassland. Along the way she killed and ate any Grimm who tried to do the same to her, each one added itself to her growing intelligence, until finally she found an answer, an abandoned vehicle that had the symbol.
What she didn't know when she snuck into the back of the truck, was that it was refridgerated and dispite being in a human form she was still quite reptilian and the cold slowly caused her to slip into a form of hibernation.
A strange way to make it to Vale, but now she was here and could begin her search for...
"Hey!" A male voice called out to her and in surprise she stopped. A young man walked towards her, his face one of concern as he took in her appearance. "Are you ok? Do you need help?"
"Help?" Her voice was quiet and rough, as if she never used it before. She looked up at the man, the dim lighting seemed to cause her eyes to glow an unnatural red which unnerves the guy a little. "No help, search"
"Search? Are you looking for something?" Confusion was evident in his tone of voice and he now looked at the girl strangely.
"Red! Search for Red" Her entire face lit up with excitement. "Find Red soon"
A look of understanding appeared on the man's face and he clapped his hands together to get the girl's attention. "You're looking for Red? I know Red."
This really had her attention, but also her suspicion. To suddenly run into a human who knew the red huntress? That was too good to be true, but best not to let the human know she had suspicions.
"You know Red? Bring to Red." The man chuckles at the demanding yet still cute tone in her voice and nods.
"Alright, follow me-" He takes her by the hand and leads her down another alley before she can protest against the unwanted contact. "My names Simon by the way."
After twenty mintues of walking and several confusing turns, the strange pair finally found themselves outside a plain looking building. Simon walked up and knocked on the door, to which a slider opens up and someone on the inside peered out. He whispered something to the door man and several tense seconds later the door opens.
This building was wrong. She didn't need her Grimm senses to know that, she could practically feel the corruption in this place. It stank of fear, hate, pain, suffering and something else she couldn't place. These humans would not be able to bring her to the red huntress, she was being decived. Rage bubbled up inside of her and her eyes began to glow faintly.
"Hey Red!" Simon's voice snaps the girl's attention back to him. He walked towards another guy who had been sitting at the end of the room. He had slicked back brown hair, dark eyes, pale skin, wore dark clothing and on the right side of his face was a large red tattoo of the omega symbol. "I got someone for you to meet."
The man named Red looked up at the pair and an angry scowl appeared on his face. Pushing himself to his feet, he stalked over to Simon and grabs him by the front of his shirt.
"What the fuck do you think you are doing!?" Red yelled into Simon's face and threw him to the ground. "You don't just fucking walk in here like this!" He then gestures to the girl next to him "And what the fuck is this!"
"A...a new g-girl?" The fearful stutter in his voice had Red looking at him with disgust "t-that's what you s-said right? T-to bring you n-new p-p-products?"
"You idiot!" Red pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration "I didn't say to bring them here! And fucking look at her you moron! She's covered in blood! How do we know she isn't a murder suspect, she could be too hot to sell if the cops are looking for her!"
"B-b-b-but you said you w-wanted something n-new" Simon was terrified now, terrified that Red was going to kill him. "S-she's g-got to be one of t-those a-a-a-albiny Faunus or s-something. T-that's super rare right? She could be worth a lot of money"
This caused Red to pause. Taking another look at the strange girl, he took note of her red hair, pale skin and red eyes. It was easy to see why the idiot would think she was an albino and did have a small reptile like tail, so she could be a unknown type of Faunus and Red did know some people who paid good money for exotic Faunus.
"Alright, I guess you do have something interesting after all" Relief filled Simon at the sound of that. Red rolled his eyes at the guy's stupidity. "So can she talk?"
"huh? Oh yeah yeah well" Simon nervously rubs the back of his head and keeps his gaze away from Red. "She can't speak...well proper words, it's kind of broken, ya know?"
"No, Simon" The guy in question flinches at the tone that Red uses. "I don't know. So why don't you explain it for us"
"R-right" Turning to the girl, Simon kneeled down to her eye level. Looking into her eyes, he feels fear crawl up his spine as he gazes into those burning red orbs. "H-hey, c-come on. S-say something. I...I brought you t-to Red l-like I p-promised"
The girl remained silent. As the minutes stretched by and Red grew more visibly frustrated, Simon started to lose his cool and his 'nice guy' persona quickly vanished.
"Listen you little bitch! You...you better start talking or...or else" Spit flew out of his mouth and splattered on her face. Inwardly she scowled but kept her face blank. "T-talk damn you" Simon raised his hand. "I SAID TALK!" He brought his hand back down across her face.
A loud crack and a yowl of pain filled the room as Simon cradled his broken hand. Tears streamed down his face as he took in the sight of his misshaped hand. The girl on the other hand seemed unaffected by the strike except for the slight turning of her head. Red, however, narrowed his eyes and stared at the girl as something clicked in his mind.
"Shit!" The thugs look at the boss in confusion at his sudden shout "She has a fucking aura! You idiot, you brought me a possible hunter!" Pulling his gun from it's holster, Red marched over to the still crying Simon. "You fucking moron!"
Just as Red was about to pull the trigger a wave of dread washed over the room and froze everyone in place. Many of the guys in the room dropped to their knees in fear while Red slowly turned his head towards the source of the feeling and felt his heart stop at what he saw.
The girl was staring at him, only now bone like armor covered her forearms, legs and parts of her chest. Bony spikes grew out of her back and she wore the skull of some kind of monster on her head like a helmet. Even worse was the light from her eyes was lighting up the inside of the skull which was causing the four eye sockets to glow red, just like a...
"Grimm" The second the word left his mouth, the girl was on Red and her claws were buried deep into his chest. Suddenly gunfire filled the air, the thugs opening fire on the girl as she slaughtered their boss, unfortunatly their weapons, unlike the Atlas Military and Huntsmen, were designed for human opponents only.
Late night pedestrians walking past the alley knew nothing of what was happening until one thug burst out of the door. With the door now open, the night sky was filled with the sound of gunfire and screams. The guy tried to crawl away in fear but a large mouth snapped shut on his leg and yanked him back into the building. Civilians watched the building in horror as the sounds of combat slowly started to die down. Officers, who had been drawn by the disruption, slowly crept towards the building, preparing to investigate when a deafening bellow sent them scurrying away in fear.
By the time the officers returned in force, the building was abandoned and there was no sign of anything relating to a Grimm. Word was sent to Beacon to send a team to investigate as soon as possible.
Blake's ear twitched in worry as she stared at the screen of her scroll, Yang still wasn't answering and she never came back to their apartment last night. Flopping backwards onto the bed, she placed one arm over her eyes while feeling her tail curl around her leg. Her tail was something that still caused her a lot of confusion, even though it had been explained why she had it now. Still the idea of giving into feral behaviour and being mated causing a change in her appearance was shocking.
Of course Yang had no problem with it. Blake smiled at the memory of when Yang learned about her new feature. She had practically raped the blonde beauty after she came back from a two week long mission. The growth of the tail had pushed Blake's sex drive into overcharge and she made sure that Yang helped fix the problem.
Suddenly the scroll in her hand started to vibrate and she quickly opened it up, hoping it was a message from Yang, only to see it was from administration with the list of new missions. Thinking about what Weiss had said, perhaps she should grab a mission, maybe it will help Yang burn off some anger.
Arriving at the mission center, Blake was surprised to see so few teams but, with a quick glance at the clock, she realised how early she actually was. Moving towards the central desk a familiar scent caught her attention and caused her to stop.
"Byakko" Her voice was calm but there was an undertone of annoyance as she turned to face the person behind her.
It was a young woman of similar height to Blake, with wild blonde hair that was a shade or two duller than Yangs, jade green eyes and two whisker like marks on her left cheek. She wore an open white jacket with black stripes and a fur collar over a grey shirt. Her pants were black and had three belts, one around her waist and two which crossed over her crotch. On her feet were a pair of black combat shoes and her left arm had three black bands.
Her attire however was not what usually caught peoples attention, rather it was the black and white tiger ears poking out of her hair and the tail waving lazily behind her.
"Belladona" Her voice held a similar tone to Blake's. It was calm but with a hidden undertone. It also had a slight accent to it that no one could place. Vyra Byakko, Tiger Faunus, graduate of Shade Academy and leader of team VNDD. "Looking for a mission to calm your dragon?"
Blake's eyes narrowed and she shifted slightly into a more defensive postion. "That's right. How did you know?"
Vyra raised her hands in a keep calm pose and chuckling . "Easy now, no need to get worked up" lowering her hands when she sees Blake calm down slightly. "It doesn't take a genius to know when Yang Xiao Long is upset, the large amounts of heat complaints from the training room is clue enough."
With a groan, Blake burys her face in her hands and tries to ward off the insuing headache. "Has she melted anything yet?" The last time this happened, Yang reduced four workout machines to slag and ended the existance of three punching bags.
"Not that I'm aware off, but the day has only just begun" Vyra had no idea if anything had been destroyed, she wasn't about to risk her life going to the training room when an enraged Yang was there. "So I'd hurry up and select a mission if I were you"
"A good idea" Blake pauses and looks at the mission slip in Vyra's hand. "Seeing that you've already done , anything you might suggest?"
"Hmm?" Vyra looked down at her hand. "Oh right. There were plenty of missions that called for some Grimm killing. Think I saw one for some Beringel. That seems like it might be worth your time"
Blake nods and thanks Vyra "Good luck on your own mission. What did you pick up, if you don't mind me asking?"
"Apparently a Grimm got into Vale" Seeing Blake's disbelief she continues. "I know, as unbelievable as that is, there are several witnesses and a whole warehouse of dead people, so they want a tracker team to investigate. And who better then team VNDD, we do have three Faunus after all"
"Still, a Grimm loose in Vale? How did it even get in without alerting anyone?" Vyra shook her head and shrugged at Blake's question with a clueless look.
"No idea, that's what they are hoping we can find out."
"Well then good luck" The two shook hands with more force then necessary and seperated. Blake continued to the mission department and Vyra headed back to the apartment block to get her team.
After retrieving the mission slip, Blake made her way over to the training center. On the way she sends a message to Weiss, letting her know that she and Yang will be gone for several days and to call them if any changes happen with Ruby.
Blazing hot air washed over her as she opened the door to the training room. Stepping into the scorching hot room, Blake starting to sweat already looked around and spotted Yang in the middle of a workout.
Taking a moment admire her partner's form as she skillfully worked the punching bag with her left arm and legs. Yang never wore her robotic arm when working out, said it felt like cheating. Blake bit down on her lower lip to prevent herself from purring as Yang landed another high kick on the bag, damn those tight shorts.
Yang stepped away from the bag and taking a deep breathe. As she released it, she heard a soft cough behind her. Turning around Yang finds her partner standing close with a soft smile on her face.
"Hey" She returns Blake's smile and grabs her towel.
"Hey yourself" Blake's voice carries a teasing tone to it. "You didn't break anything did you? Remember what happened last time?"
"That was one time and no one will let me forget it!" Yang groans and sits down on a bench. "Sorry about not coming back last night. I just...I needed some way to deal with all the information, you know?"
Blake sat down next to Yang leaning her head against the taller woman's shoulder. "I do, Yang. And I completely understand why, I was just worried about you."
Tilting her head to the side, Yang placed a tender kiss on top of Blake's head. "Thank you. I love you so much. So what brings you here? Normally you wait for me to come back?"
"I know you need something to help work through everything, so I signed us up for a mission" Blake quickly put her finger onto yangs lips to stop Yang's protests that she knew were coming. "I told Weiss and she will call us the moment anything happens. Ruby will be fine, but you need time to cool down."
Yang frowned and looks towards the far wall. "What kind of mission. How far are we going and for how long?"
"We will be going to a small coastal town near the boarder to Vacuo. The mission is an extermination class, your favorite" A small smile tugged at Blake's lips as she watched Yang's eyes like up with excitment. "We will be hunting Beringel."
"Sweet, sounds like fun. Shouldn't take us more than a few days then."
"And like I said, if anything happens, Weiss will call us. So hurry up and get changed. I'll wait" Hearing that, Yang suddenly gains a sly smirk and she leans in close to Blake's ear.
"You could always join me" A shiver of pleasure ran down Blake's back at the tone Yang used. That voice only ever brought good things, but not today.
"We'd be late if I did, and that's not happening" Blake had a record to uphold after all. "And the last time we had shower sex, you ripped the piping out of the wall when I hit the sweet spot"
Yang's face lit up like a red lightbulb and Blake chuckling for being able to get that reaction. Watching her girlfriend make her way to the showers, the faunus allows herself a moment to think about something that came up in the revelations yesterday. "I wonder if Weiss and Ruby have any more of that dust left and how exactly does it help two women have a child?"
An image of a tiny blonde child with yellow cat ears appears in Blake's mind and she smiles at how adorable that child would be. Movement to the side breaks her out of the fantasy and she sees that Yang has returned from the shower and is freshly dressed.
"Ready to go kick ass, Blake." Yang adjusting her arm asks smiling at Blake, who nods and stands up to join her. The two quickly make their way to the departure area.
A young woman glares down disgustedly at one of the many slavers corpses that lay in the alley. "Is it wrong to be upset about not being the ones to murder these scum?" Her voice was ruff and held a Vacuovian accent to it. "I mean, no one is seriously going to mourn the loss of this lot. Hell whatever killed them did the world a favor."
Her name was Dusk Breaker, the older sister of Dawn, a pair of twin hyena faunus and members of a nomadic tribe from Vacuo. She was a tall, well built young woman with wild brown hair, cut short at the shoulder, and a pair of rounded ears. Crossing her arms over her armored chest, she growls lowly and looks towards the team leader.
"You chose this right? They didn't just give it to you?"
Vyra releases a sigh and turns to her girlfriend's sister. "Yes, Dusk. I chose the mission. It called for a tracking team and we're a damn good one. You really need to stop being so paranoid about everything,"
The gentle touch of a hand on her arm causes Vyra to pause and look to her side. Dawn smiles at her leader and partner. The younger of the hyena sister's was less wild in appearance, with long hair, soft blue eyes and a much smaller body frame then her sister. Where Dusk was built for strength and endurance, Dawn was built for speed and agility.
"Don't mind, Dusk. She had a run in with Xiao long last night and is still aggitated about it" even her voice was different from her sister's, with a more gentle and calming tone to it.
The mention of what happened the previous night had Dusk growling even more while the fourth team member scowls whacking the woman upside the back of her head.
"Don't start!" Nova Eclipse the only human member of team VNDD with long black hair in a braid , blood red eyes and a bodytype that was between the two opposites of the twins , the only person to be able to fully control Dusk due to her rather dominating personality. Glared at her girlfriend ,until Dusk backed down whimpering, and Nova smirking at another victory blew her a kiss. "What happened last night has no meaning now. So keep your head focused on the mission. When we get back to base, maybe I'll let you go play with the dragon~"
Vyra groans covering her face with her hand. "Please don't. We still haven't paid off the damages from the last time. Let...let's just get on with the mission"
Team VNDD quickly split off into their individual tasks. The twins went to scout the outer permimeter for any in going or out going Grimm scents while Vyra and Nova entered the building to see what they could discover.
"Well I'll give them one good merit" Although Nova seemed disgusted with herself for even saying such a thing. "They kept detailed records on everything they did. Deals, shipments, dates, you name it, they have it on file. Of course this is also the dumbest thing they could have done."
"Agreed. Pack it all up and we'll give it to the proper authoraties, that should help with shutting down any more of their operations." Vyra looking around ,notices a few things. Squatting down, she picks up something from the floor. "Bullet, lead based. Useless against anything with an aura or Grimm based."
She turns the crushed remains of the bullet in her hand. "And judging from how it looks, it and the others it bounced off of something harmlessly."
"Bodies hacked and slashed to death with claws, bullets damaged by aura reflection. Either we have a mercenary with an active aura that uses claw based weapons or" Nova pausing looks at Vyra. "We really do have a Grimm loose in the city."
The tiger nods her head in agreement. "It's small, possibly a young Beowolf or Ursa. Most likely that's how it was smuggled in, but it got free and decided to teach it's captures a lesson."
Suddenly both of their scrolls beeping and they open them up to see the twins. Vyra quickly taking charge. "Did either of you find anything?"
"We both found trails leading away from the warehouse. Dusk's led towards the river and disappeared there. We are guessing that is where the Grimm went." Dusk nodding to confirm her sister's assumption. "I found a trail that leads back to Valice inc. Shipping Company."
"So that's where the Grimm came from?" Vyra notices both of them have strange looks and seem to be thinking about something. "What? What is it?"
"Well we found the scent of Grimm but...it's not normal." Brushing back some of her hair, Dusk took a second to chose her words. "There was a strange mixture of human and Grimm in the trails, almost like they were traveling together."
"What?"
"That's not all" Dawn picked up the conversation again. "When we got to the shipping depot, we found bloody human footprints coming from a meat container, which was filled with the strange scent. Whoever this person is, they are small in size and were barefoot at the time."
"You're thinking this person has something to do with the Grimm? Possibly some kind of Summon?" Vyra was hesitant to suggest such a thing, since the damage done by Cinder Fall and the witch Salem was still fresh.
"Yes" The twins answered at the same time, meaning they were both in full agreement.
"Fuck. This was meant to be a simple mission" With a groan, Vyra told the twins to meet herself and Nova back at the transport. "I should have just taken the monkey hunt one."letting out a deep sigh.
"Sister dear, how are you holding up?" The usually condescending and smarmy voice of her brother was surprisingly warm this time and Weiss making smile slightly. "Are the medical staff there adequately trained and up to the task?"
Ah there it was. A chuckle escaping her before she replies to her brother. "Yes Whitley, they are doing an excellent job." Weiss chose to ignore Whitley's disbelieving scoff. "And I am doing well. Nothing out of the ordinary from what I have been told"
"That is good to hear. I still insist you come home, sister. But I know you are going to refuse, so I will save the argument for now."
"Thank you Whitley. Perhaps after Ruby has recovered I will consider it." And the truth was she had been considering it, but she wanted to speak about it with Ruby first.
"Wonderful" Weiss picking up the slight sound of a door opening in the background before the sounds on Whitley's end become muted for a few moments. "Unfortunately sister, I will have to cut this call short. I shall call you again soon. Take care."
"Of course brother. Take care." After the soft click of the call ending was heard, Weiss releases the breath she was holding. Dealing with her brother was always a hit and miss style of conversation, so she always needed to be prepared for anything.
Weiss pockets her scroll and walks back towards Ruby's room. Noticing a clock on the wall above the nurses station, she quickly checks it to see the time. "Hmm Blake and Yang should be arriving at their mission site soon. Hopefully things go well for them"
With that in mind, she opens the door to the room only for her mind to grind to a screeching halt.
"W-Weiss?" Said girl's hands flew up to her mouth to barely contain her sobs as she stared into the silver eyes she loves so much for the first time in weeks. Moving as quickly as possibly, Weiss rushed over to the bed.
"Ruby?" When she recieves a weak nod in return from the young woman, Weiss beginning to openly sob in happiness and she rushes over hugging her partner hard . "You're awake, you're finally awake!"
Ruby tries to speak again but only ends up coughing. Weiss sits up and reachs to the side table where a small cup of water rests. She brings the cup to Ruby's lips and helping her take several small sips.
"Don't try and say anything yet. I am so happy to see you awake. Now rest for a moment, I will be back shortly, I just need to let the doctor know" She presses her lips to Ruby's forehead. "I'll be right back."
Ruby watches as Weiss leaves the room before closing her eyes to get a little more rest. However once she closes her eyes, memories of how she ended up in the hospital surface.
Using the soaked ground, Ruby quickly spins out of the way, narrowly avoiding the crushing jaws that snap closed a second after she moves. Bursting into rose petals, she speeds around to the side of the Grimm, only for the beast to display unimaginable agility and turn on the spot to connect one of it's arms with Ruby's side.
After bouncing off the ground for several feet, Ruby digs Cresent Rose into the earth and uses it to slow down her momentum and right herself up. Standing on the shaft of her scythe, Ruby watches as the Grimm takes a strangely large gulp of air.
Silver eyes widen as she quickly comes to the realisation that it's about to use some form of attack. So Ruby shifted her weight to get Cresent Rose out of the ground and rapidly changed it to carry mode to act as a shield just before a powerful blast of pressure and noise slams headlong into her with all the force of a raging boartusk.
"Ruby?" Finding herself drawn out of her memories by a familiar voice, Ruby opens her eyes to see Weiss had returned and she is accompanied by whom Ruby suspects is the doctor, or at least a nurse.
"Well Ms Rose, it is good to see you awake. I'm Doctor Glenn" The man introduces himself before starting a small examination of Ruby. "I will admit, when Ms Schnee informed us that you were awake, we were a litte sceptical. But I'm happy to have been proven wrong in this case."
"How long before she can start moving around?" Weiss trieing to hide her enthusiasm but it's quite clear when Glenn chuckles.
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves, ms Schnee. She has just woken up." He takes a moment to check Ruby's chart. "We will be leaving the intravenous tubes in for at least another week, until we are sure your body can handle feeding itself"
Putting the chart back, he turns to Weiss. "I need to speak with the nurses about a small change to ms Rose's medication, but ultimately nothing will be that different. I'll return later this evening to check in on her. For now I will let you two have some time together"
Once the doctor was gone, Weiss quickly reclaimed her place beside Ruby's bed. She gently ran her fingers through her partners long hair smiling at her. "You look good with longer hair. It suits you"
Ruby smiles leaning into Weiss's hand. "I'm sorry"
"Don't" Weiss cut off Ruby immediately. "Do not blame yourself for what happened. You had no way of knowing what was going to happen"
Weiss climbing into the bed next to Ruby and, after being careful not to disturb any of the items connected to her, gently pulls her into a comforting embrace. "You are alive and that's all that matters right now. If Yang and Blake were here, they would say the same"
Tears quickly began to make their way down Ruby's face and she buried herself into Weiss's embrace, crying her heart out as the woman she loved held her gently.
It took some time for the younger woman to calm down, but once she did, Ruby asks a question that was on her mind for quite a while. "You...mentioned that Yang and Blake weren't here. Where are they?"
"Your sister had been understandably upset since we rescued you" Weiss pauses to banish the image of finding Ruby from her mind. "Yesterday she recieved some news that...that pushed her temper over the edge. Both myself and Blake felt it was best to send your sister out on a mission where she can burn off some of her aggression."
"That was...probably for the best. We don't need a repeat of the training room incident" Ruby shivers at the memory of trying to pay off the damages. So many pay cuts, so much cookie fonds lost.
Weiss nods in agreement. "She and Blake headed off this morning, they should be arriving at their destination soon, if they haven't already."
