Previously

"See it wasn't so bad." I told her after the bath was finished

She gave me a looked that said she didn't agree and blew me a raspberry before giggling

"Guys the foods here, come on down!" Summer called us

We hurried down the stairs and saw a lot of food on the table and we all dug in afterwards, after a while we all went on with our day.

Now

:Later that night with Chise:

"Chise would you like some milk and cookies before you go to bed?" Summer asked me with a smile on her face

"Yes please" I replied while giving her a grin 'it's been awhile since I've felt like this before' I thought giddily

"But Mommy I want cookies and milk!" Cried Ruby while Yang nodded in agreement

"Don't worry Rubes I'll be making cookies and pouring milk for everyone!" She announced to RWBY proudly as if she were Santa Claus but instead of giving presents he gives Milk and cookies

"Yay!" Ruby shouted with her tiny fist raised

"Ok settle down Rubes, You all wait here while I bake some cookies and pour the milk for you all." She told us

"But wait wasn't the oven busted thanks to Yang's attempt this morning?" I asked her while ignoring the glare Yang gave me

"Chise don't you remember that the oven was replaced this afternoon thanks to Qrow?" Summer asked

I thought about it and suddenly remembered that I saw a couple of guys bring in a large box with a printed picture of an Oven/Stove and writing that clearly said Oven/Stove

But I must have been busy with something since I couldn't remember it

"Oh, I forgot sorry" I apologized

"No Need to apologize" she told me before she went into the kitchen

"So Chise do you know where your brother is?" Yang asked me

"No and why do you ask? Do you want to fight with him again?" I asked

"N-no" she stuttered out clearly embarrassed by her loss I knew she lost since Ruth told me on how they're "fight" went 'Strange I remember that but not the oven/stove replacement.'

"I'm kinda sad I missed the fight between you and Ruth" Ruby told Yang "Did you win?" she asked with a grin

"U-Uh I did Rubes I taught Ruth a lesson!" she lied to Ruby who's eyes had shone after Yang told her that

"Woow my big sister is soo awesome!" Ruby exclaimed before she hugged Yang

I chuckled before I felt a slight sleepy feeling before I nodded off

I dreamed I was in a poppy field the same on where my Mom and I was then I heard a sound of rustling and I looked at my side and saw a yellow rabbit with a photograph in its mouth, at first it didn't move then the rabbit started hopping towards me, my first instinct was to walk away but then I realized that rabbits weren't evil or trying to kill me unlike the other "neighbors" when the yellow rabbit reached me I noticed it was wearing a red cape and had some human hair that was covered by a beret which was even stranger then it promptly let go of the photograph it was "holding" when I looked at the Photograph I was surprised to see Elias in his human form with Angelica and her family at his side in front of Angelica's bookstore which I knew was just a cover at first I was confused since I don't remember Angelica or Elias showing or mentioning this picture to me

'It's not a real picture Chise Hatori it's just something so that you won't forget them or if someone asks you about The Thorn Mage.' A voice that had a faint British accent told me

'Who said that?!' I wondered while hastily putting the photograph in my right pocket

'I did.' The voice replied before the strange rabbit waved at me

'You can talk?!' I asked shocked

'Why do you find this strange? After all your familiar in dog form can still talk to you.' the Yellow Rabbit replied

'Seems fair.' I said before asking 'Why did you give this to me?'

'To thank you I suppose for all the good things you've done on earth.'

'On Earth does that mean I'm on another dimension or something?' I asked

'Duh' the rabbit replied and I thought 'so helpful.'

'Well I best be going you'll be waking up soon!' the rabbit said before hopping away

'Wait! I still have more questions!' I cried to the rabbit before I felt a shake and woke up

"Chise." Summer said while shaking me awake "The Cookies are done." She told me with a smile

I sat up excited and ran as fast as I could to get the cookies but it turned out it was futile since Yang and Ruby were already there and were currently inhaling the cookies

I pouted and felt a hand on my shoulder "Its fine Chise there's still more also you dropped this." She said handing me what looked like the photograph in my dream when I turned it over I was shocked to see the same photo from my dream I wondered how it got here

"Who are those people?" Yang asked me while munching on a cookie

At first I hesitated telling Yang on who they were but I finally said with a smile "My family" I said even though I still remembered what Elias had done

When I said that I saw Summers eyes narrow in anger

I sighed before I explained to her that the photograph was actually taken long after what she heared from Ruth 'hopefully she would believe it even thou it is a lie.' I hoped

"I see, what are their names?" she asked my softly

"This is Angelica, David Barley with their daughter Althea Barley" I told them while pointing towards Angelica and her family

"And this is.. Elias Ainsworth my mentor and caretaker." I said as I slightly felt sad at my choice of titles for Elias

"So if this Elias Ainsworth is your mentor and caretaker does this mean that he also was the mentor and caretaker of Ruth?" Summer asked and I nodded in agreement

"What's that building behind them?" Ruby asked while holding a cookie while Yang was trying to grab it from her

"Oh it's Angelica's Bookstore" I replied

"What kind of books do they sell? Do they sell copies of The Huntress and the 3 Ursai?" Ruby asked as she quickly ate the cookie to Yang's disappointment

"Actually I don't really remember what she sold but I'll let you know when I hear from them." I told her 'if ever' I though as well

"Where is this Elias if he is you and Ruth's caretaker then? Me and Tai would gladly get a airship so we could send you to where he is." Summer told me

"Um.. I don't think you can do that." I replied

"Why is that?, Is he far away? Is he busy or is he..?" Asked Summer before she held in a gasp

I nodded although I didn't want to lie to Summer again it would be kinda difficult to say to her that he was in another world and I don't want her angry at Elias if I told her what he did, I sighed at the thought

Suddenly I felt arms pull me close to the owner of said arms and when I looked up and saw Summer's eyes brimming with tears and I realized she felt sorry for me I felt sorry for lying to her and to everyone but it was for the best.

"Well let's get you some cookies and milk Chise before I tuck you in tonight." Summer told me after she wiped her eyes

"Okay." I replied

A few minutes later

"Goodnight Chise." Summer said giving a kiss on the forehead after tucking me in bed and reading me a story from a book titled Grimm Fairy Tales

After she left I waited for Ruth then he appeared beside my bed

"Sorry for being gone for a bit." He said

"I knew that you were in my shadow for the whole time." I retorted

"May I see the pic?" he asked me and I handed it to him

"I miss them to be honest." He muttered and I nodded in agreement

After Ruth looked at it he gave me a look before he said "So you got this from a yellow rabbit?" he whispered so quietly I almost didn't hear him

I nodded before I yawned and I felt my eyes falling down

"Goodnight Chise" he told me before he went into his dog form and curled up at my feet it tickled for a bit before I fell asleep

:With Summer:

As I listened in on Chise conversation with Ruth I was shocked to learn that Ruth could hide in Chise shadow but I decided to not pester them unless the situation needed me to ask them but what bothered me the most is how Ruth said "I miss them to be honest." When I heard that my heart felt shattered since as a Mother it was kinda hurts for me to see 2 kids especially one that was Yang's age after I heard both of them snoring I turned away from the door and headed back to me and Tai's room, When I opened the door to our room it was dark as I went inside to turn on the lights the door suddenly closed and I let out a small peep before I turned behind me and saw a beowolf face and screamed, I ran farthest of the room and was about to get my weapon before the lights turned on and the "Beowolf" lifted it's face and it revealed Tai with a huge smile on his face

"TAIYANG!" I screamed at him before tackling him

"Ow..ow ok I'm sorry!" he apologized while protecting himself from my punches

After I administered the required amount of punches needed to let go of my anger I went over to the bed and laid down

"So is Chise sleeping?" Taiyang asked me after he recovered and laid next to me

"Yep." I replied before turning away

"What's wrong?" Tai asked me

"Nothing." I replied before pretending to snore

"Hmph.. You'll tell me tomorrow morning anways." He said before he started tickling me which caused me to laugh so hard and then we both fell asleep.

That's all folks :D
