Weiss Schnee:

My body has been frozen in place for the past 15 minutes or so because of what I have just seen before my very eyes. Ruby Rose… the most innocent girl I have ever met in all of Remnant has turned into the most dangerous person in this world. My mind keeps replaying it over and over again, the horrifying power of her dark aura, her devastatingly monstrous speed, and worst of all… the frightening skull of a reaper. I start to shiver out of fear just by remembering all that has happened, I feel like I am about to die just by the memory of the monster I have just seen… but then I feel someone wrap their arms around me. I look up to see Blake holding me tight in her embrace. I notice that she is also really scared because of what just happened and I decide to wrap my arms around her as well.

We sit there in each other's embrace until the airship lands with medics and backup hunters and huntresses. Blake and I get up with slight difficulty since we are still shivering in fear. We see the medics take both Velvet and Ruby into the airship and we both slowly make our way towards it along with Yang. Throughout the airship we stay quite all of us not willing to utter a word of the events until we get to Ozpin. Blake and I are still holding each other afraid to let go. Soon we reach the school and the medics rush both Velvet and Ruby to the infirmary While we approach Profesor Ozpin.

"What happened?" He asks us as Yang dashes to the infirmary to catch up to Ruby and leaves us to answer the questions.

"Well… we found a white beowolf and he suddenly called an entire army of grim both white and regular… Velvet got hit by the white beowolf and then… then…" I start shaking in fear again.

"It's ok, you can tell me Miss Schnee, there is no need to be afraid." He reassures me.

"Ruby let out a pulse of aura that seemed very dark and ominous almost evil like and she just, killed all the grims like nothing." Blake answers for me

"I was afraid this would happen" Ozpins mumbles quietly but not quiet enough.

"What was that Professor?" I ask him.

"Go get Yang and meet me in my office, it is time you learned the truth about aura." He says and walks off and Blake and I make our way to the infirmary to get Yang.

"What do you think he meant by 'the truth about aura'?" I ask Blake as we walk to the infirmary hand in hand.

"I don't know, but… I am sort of afraid to find out" As she says that I tighten my grip on her hand and I look up into her eyes.

"Don't worry I will be here for you just as I know you will be here for me." I say and I give her a peck on her lips. "Come on lets go get our barbarian of a friend and talk to Ozpin." We both smile at each other for the first time ever since the mission and we keep on going to the infirmary.

We reach the infirmary and we are approached by a nurse.

"You must be Miss Schnee and Miss Belladonna." She says politely.

"Yes" I say.

"Follow me please." She says and we follow her. "They are resting right now, the doctor will be with you shortly to tell you the details." She leaves the room and Blake and I direct our attention to Yang who is kneeling down beside Ruby's bed holding her hand as if she were dying. Ruby seemed to be in good shape but Velvet looked to be in way more critical condition. We sit and wait for the doctor to show up. After about 5 minutes of waiting he comes knocking into the room.

"How is she!?" Yang nervously yells while jumping straight up from her kneeling position.

"Ruby will be fine, her aura levels are extremely low and she needs time to replenish them. It could take a few days for her to awake so we just have to be patient." He says

"A few DAYS!? WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN!?" Yang yells in anger.

"I am sorry Miss Xiao Long but, we can't do anything but wait, she is still alive, she is just unconscious."

"What about Velvet?" Blake asks the doctor.

"Miss Scarletina suffered a severe injury, she had to get surgery which was successful, and we don't know for sure how long she will be unconscious. She is lucky to be alive thanks to her faunas heritage, I don't think a regular human being could have survived a blow like the one she just took." He says.

"Thank you doctor." The doctor leaves the room. "Yang, Professor Ozpin wants to see us in his office."

"You can go I will st-" Yang begins but I cut her off

"It has something to do with the true meaning of aura and most likely about how Ruby was able to turn into… that reaper." Shivers go down my spine at the mention of what happened, even though we are finished with the mission there is no possible way for me to remember that moment without trembling in fear and I know it's the same for the rest.

"…. Fine, I'll go" She says and makes her way to Ruby's bedside. "Get better soon Rubes" She gives her a kiss on her forehead and we start walking towards Professor Ozpins office.

We walk in complete silence since we are afraid of what Ozpin is going to tell us. Blake and I keep squeezing each other's hand tighter and tighter like if our life were to depend on it. When we reach the door to Ozpin's office we all take a huge gulp in unison with each other and then Yang knocks on it.

"Come in." we here a reply from the professor and we open the door and slowly walk in. "Take a seat." He gestures for us to sit on a couch that is in front of his desk and we take the offer by seating ourselves Blake and I on the right side and Yang on the left. "I called you here because there is a theory that was thought of as fake but unfortunately came to be true." He starts.

"A theory?" Blake asks.

"Yes, for many years there were scientists who kept studying aura and how it worked, one particular scientist came up with a theory… if an aura user were to reface a tragedy that they faced when they were younger… their aura will turn them into a creature of mass destruction." I hear this and I start trembling in fear.

"B-b-but what could have possibly happened to Ruby that was so bad in the past?" Blake asks.

"Her mother…" Yang says and I notice Ozpin lower his head in sadness.

"Yes… Summer Rose was killed by a white beowolf right in front of her own daughter… Ruby Rose…" I look towards Yang and I notice that she starts crying.

"Wait, you said this was a theory for aura users does that mean it could happen to us too?" I ask

"Yes… whatever tragic moment happened in your past, if your relive it… your anger, sadness and fear will cause your aura to turn dark and begin to control you… just like what happened to Ruby, so I tell you this now… please be careful… you are dismissed." We get up and make our way outside of Ozpin's office."Miss Belladonna… could you please stay, I need to ask you a few questions."

"Okay." Blake says. "Wait for me at our dorm, I will be there soon." She tells me and pecks my lips.

"Okay." Yang and I slowly make our way out of the office. When we make it out I start heading towards our room.

"I will be staying with Ruby until she recovers." Yang says and makes her way to the infirmary.

As I walk to my dorm I can't help but wonder what Ozpin wants with Blake. She is mysterious and I like that about her but… I feel like she is hiding something big and not just from me but from the rest of the team as well.

Blake… What are you keeping from us?... from me?
