The ride into town had been uneventful, she had sat quietly in the bed of a truck with a bunch of other grunts from the hide out, none of them where in uniform.

Ruby had leaned against the metal side of the bed looking out at the trees as they drove down a long and barely used road, it was in good condition besides the occasional pot hole that she swore the driver was hitting on purpose, she was short girl with rainbow colored hair and fox ears, she had the radio cranked up and was blaring classical music. Ruby had thought it weird but hadn't said anything. Several people were talking back in forth to one another, but since no one was talking to her she sat quietly. Blake hadn't said a word to her since the ride had started Ruby glanced over at her, her hair swirling around her head in the wind.

Blake was against the other side reading a book, Ruby could barely make out the cover. 'Ninjas of...something or another.' Her knees were blocking the rest of the title. Looking at her made Ruby remember the night before.

She felt heat rise to her cheeks and her ears burned. 'I can't believe I did that.' she thought reaching to pull her hood over her head out of habit but her hood was back in her room on the base. She felt a pang of longing go through her chest, she had never went a day with out her hood. But right now it was necessary. She ran her hand over her hair instead and tried to relax for the ride.

The drive took the better part of an hour and by the time they had reached the small town, she was sure it was half the size of Patch, her stomach had already eaten her liver, or that's what it felt like.

The truck pulled into a parking spot and the driver stopped the engine. The others started jumping out of the bed and headed off in different directions, some in groups, some not. Ruby vaulted over the side of the truck and landed on the asphalt that was in dire need of repair. She looked around unsure of where to go.

"I can show you a great diner." Blake said beside her. Ruby jumped slightly, she hadn't heard the other girl approach her. "I didn't mean to scare you." she said with a smirk. "What, me scared pshaw no way." Ruby said scratching her head and flashed Blake a large smile.

"Come on." Blake said walking around the truck Ruby followed behind her as she led the way down the street.

"How come everyone doesn't eat in the same place?" Ruby asked, falling in place beside the older girl.

"We don't all get along that's why." Blake said turning and walking down the side walk of a smaller street. "Oh." Ruby said sounding out the syllables so it sounded like 'Ooooooohhhhhh'.

As they walked down the back roads they passed by quite a few locals. They shy away from the two Faunus girls. Ruby glanced at Blake, she wasn't dressed in the White Fang uniform, just simply wearing a white t-shirt with a black vest opened in the front and black loose jeans.

"This has seen numerous White Fang's come through here so they just avoid any Faunus." Blake said as if she had read Ruby's mind.

"At least there not harassing us, that's good." Ruby mumbled remembering to stay in character. Blake didn't look at her, "Is it good?" she stated. "They fear us, they don't respect us."

Ruby raised her eyebrow, it seemed Blake didn't totally agree with the White Fang's new fear tactic. Ruby stored that information away for later but didn't say anything.

Her stomach roared breaking the silence and Ruby blushed as Blake looked at her with an amused grin on her face. "Stupid stomach." Ruby muttered punching it lightly in punishment. "The Diner is just around the corner, she said pointing ahead at where the back alley they were currently on ended. Ruby stepped over a hole in the concrete that was filled with water. "About last night." Ruby blurted out of no where, she hadn't even meant to but it had been on the back of her mind for awhile. Blake looked over at her raising an eyebrow.

"i just wanted..." Ruby rushed to say but Blake spoke over her. "It's Ok, it's...nice, to talk to someone, if you ever want to I'll be glad to." she said, her words were kind, but her voice sounded as if she was forcing the words out...no forcing was the wrong word. Ruby realized it was like she was searching for words she had never needed.

Ruby felt her heart slam in her chest and a smile crossed her lips. 'Everything's Ok, she didn't mind at all.' Ruby thought. 'NO! You can't get involved.' Ruby's inner voice yelled at her.

'But she's nice." Ruby thought defensively.

'Then why is she a member of the White Fang?'

'She's not like them!"

'Yes she is,'

'No she's different!'

'She's a murderer'

That thought floored Ruby. She clinched her hands into fists and bit into her lip. "So am I." she whispered softly.

"Ruby?" Blake said softly. She looked up, not realizing that she had stopped walking, Blake was a few steps in front of her, she was half turned towards her, a questioning look on her face. The sun behind her burned out the back ground and all Ruby could see was her.

A few strands of hair blowing against her pale cheek. Her eyes were dark and cold, but she could see a small warmth that was hiding deep with in them. She was beautiful. And Ruby felt her heart shred.

"Aren't you hungry?" The dark girl said with a smile.

'This won't be be good.' Ruby's inner voice said but she was past hearing it.

'Fuck it.' Ruby thought and hurried after her.
