Hey guys, here is part two of Eye of the Storm. I'm gonna keep this short. Things will take some twists and turns, and maybe some irreparable damage may be done. So here is chapter 12, or part two of Eye of the Storm.
"Help me, Ruby."
Weiss could only get out those few words before taking up a defensive stance to fend off the incoming attack. She was able to kill of some of the group attacking her, but couldn't stop them all. She looked over to see how Blake was doing, and saw that she was holding her own. The Rain beat down on them, adding to the harshness of the attack.
Ruby POV
"Did you here that Yang?"
"Yea, I heard that. It sounded like-"
"WEISS."
I found myself bolting towards where I heard the yell from. I had to get there, I had to help Weiss! I can't lose her, I can't!
"Come on Yang, hurry!"
"I'm going as fast as I can, Ruby!"
Hold on Weiss, just for a little bit. I'm on my way.
End POV
Weiss kept fending off the Beowolves as best as she could, but was outnumbered. Her sprained leg was crying out in agony, at least it was to her. She was running out of steam quickly.
She felt it before she saw it. A Beowolf lunged at her as she turned to meet it, sinking its long claws into her left shoulder, and tearing the muscle. Weiss screamed in pain and fell to her knees. Blake was able to stop them from attacking her while she was down, but had to deal with her own group now.
Weiss thought she was done for. One of them jumped at her, looking to end her, but was stopped in midair. The smell of Roses filling the air around Weiss, who saw Ruby standing above her with Crescent Rose halfway through the Grimm.
"Ruby!"
Ruby started cleaving the Grimm in front of her, while Yang helped Blake with her group, giving Blake a chance to catch her breath. They finished off the group, not noticing a straggler skulking off to the side.
"Weiss, Weiss, are you okay?!"
"I-I'm fine Ruby, j-just, come closer to me."
Ruby leaned down to Weiss, who then pulled her into the tightest hug Ruby had ever felt in her life.
"Thank you Ruby."
"I'm so happy you are alive. I couldn't have lived with myself if I let you die. I will never leave you again,, Weiss."
The two sat like that, in the embrace of the other, for what felt like hours.
"Well, I guess we should get going now, we have to put in reports of the mission."
Ruby had just started getting up when a look of horror struck Weiss' face. Not knowing what was happening, Ruby put a questioning look on her face, only to see Weiss use her right arm to grab Myrtenaster and shoot a fireball at the incoming Grimm.
The straggler that no one had noticed, had tried taking Weiss down with itself. It was so close, that even though it was blasted by her fire, it still kept flying towards them. Weiss pushed Ruby off her and took the claws of the Grimm into her other shoulder and collar bone, and went unconscious.
"Please there has to be something you can do for her, please!"
Weiss head started to spin, she didn't fully wake up, but heard people around her talking.
"Well, we can try something, we can't guarantee her safety though."
"I don't care! We have to try!"
"This is a procedure we haven't done before, but its the only way we can help her."
Weiss then lost consciousness again. The next time she woke up though, she was in a hospital bed, feeling incredibly sore and woozy.
She tried to move, but was stopped, by two things. The first, being that her injuries made it painful to move. The second, Ruby had been sleeping with her head on her lap.
Weiss' small movement made Ruby wake up, since she was already on end as it was.
"Weiss! Thank god you're okay!"
"W-What happened Ruby?"
"You went unconscious after you were hit, and we brought you here to save you."
"But, why does my chest feel so, heavy."
The doctor had just walked into the room with Professor Ozpin behind him.
"Good morning, Weiss."
"Good morning Professor Ozpin. What happened?"
"I will let the doctor here explain what had to be done."
"Yes. Now, Weiss, You were lucky you weren't fatally wounded. A few inches lower, and you wouldn't have made it. But we were able to stop the bleeding and fix everything that happened. Though, your muscles and bones will need some time to heal, and, adjust."
"Adjust?"
"Well, we had to do something risky to make sure your muscles and bones would grow back properly, and to make you able to keep fighting. If we hadn't done this, you wouldn't be able to fight anymore, which means you would have to leave Beacon."
"Leave Beacon?"
"You won't have to worry about it, the surgery has been successful."
"What did you do, exactly?"
"Well, we had to, infuse a very small amount of, dust, into your bone marrow and muscle tissue to make sure it didn't atrophy. If it did, there would be malformations that would stop you from being a huntress. We wanted to make sure you didn't have to leave Beacon, and this was the only way to make sure."
"Dust? How is that even possible?"
"Well, we condensed it into a liquid state, and injected it into you. We were worried it would be too much for your body, but it was able to contain the dust and strengthen yourself."
"So, I will be fine then?"
"Yes, for now, but we need you to always be with someone to make sure you don't have any adverse reactions to the dust."
"So I will be with you everywhere." Ruby said with a smile on her face.
"Your body is recovering quite quickly, so its safe for you to go home today, but take it easy, you can't afford to strain your body."
Weiss got dressed, and had Ruby help her walk to their dormroom. Weiss hadn't noticed until now, but they were at Beacon's on-campus hospital. They got back to the room, where they were greeted by Blake and Yang. After a conversation about what happened to Weiss, they all decided to get some rest. Ruby was happy to have another excuse to be near Weiss, and Weiss was happy, as well, to be near Ruby.
"Goodnight, Weiss."
"Goodnight, Ruby."
Weiss had thought to herself for a moment.
"Hey Ruby, you are going to be with me everywhere?"
"Wherever you are, is where I will be."
"That's a nice thought, having you follow me around everywhere, knowing you will protect me."
"I won't let anything get near you ever again."
"I trust you, Ruby. I trust you..."
That was chapter 12 and part two of Eye of the Storm. It may not have turned out how I would have liked it, but i wanted a twist that I don't think anyone expected. I made it like this so that I now have another element to add to Weiss and work with. So, for now, Ruby is going to be following Weiss everywhere, and I do mean, everywhere. Also, sorry for the delay, weekends are pretty busy for me, since I have alot scheduled on weekends for convinience. Please follow/fav and drop a review, and I will see you guys in the next installment. Byee!
