JNPR had decided to leave RWBY alone, since Ruby wasn't feeling very well and needed her rest. But when they heard the sirens, they froze. They had never heard sirens on campus. They still knew that the school had security and its own EMS team, but had yet to see it put to use. The sirens soon stopped, leaving flashing lights shining in the window. The four soon heard something being wheeled down the hallways towards them. As much as they wanted to check on what was happening, they knew the school was very strict on staying where you were if EMS entered your dorm building.
JNPR heard a knock on their door, and man's voice shout, "E.M.S!" Pyrrha opened the door a crack. "Can I help you?" She kindly asked.
"Is this six-three-six?" He asked. Pyrrha could see the gurney behind him, being pushed by his partner. Pyrrha shook her head. "No." She pointed to RWBY's dorm. "That is."
"Thank you." He said. The man turned around and knocked on RWBY's dorm, Pyrrha watching him with the door wide open. Weiss opened the door and let them wheel the gurney in. They emerged several moments later with Ruby atop of it and rushed her down the hallway, a blonde man in tow. The blonde man looked like he was in his late to mid thirties to early forties. Yang dashed out several seconds later, motorcycle helmet in hand.
[Ruby]
For Ruby, everything was dark, and she felt like her body was vibrating. She felt like someone was running a power tool on her face, kinda like the dentist. (This is legitimately what passing out and beginning to convulse feels like, BTW. I woke up and thought I was at the dentist)
Ruby opened her eyes and saw that she was now in the back of an ambulance. She couldn't seem to remember how she got there. The last thing she remembered was lying on the bathroom floor after throwing up blood. She could see her father sitting on a bench near the door, the city of Vale was moving behind the windows. How did she get in Vale? She remembered being at Beacon. Someone suddenly shined a light in her face, Ruby tried to move her eyes away from the blinding light, but found that her head was strapped to the bed. She went to move her hands to investigate, but found they were bound as well.
"I think we can remove the restraints now," An unfamiliar voice said, releasing the pressure on her limbs and head. "Is she awake?" Ruby could hear her father speak, it was evident that he was beyond worried for her. "Yes." The first voice said. "She's awake."
Just as he said this, the ambulance went up a hill, and Ruby saw Yang behind them on Bumbleby. She felt comfort in seeing Yang and her father watching over her: Nothing bad was about to happen to her.
"How're you feeling, Rubes?" Taiyang asked, grabbing her foot.
"I think I'm gonna throw up." Ruby said. Rolling onto her side, she began to retch and gag, drops of saliva falling from her mouth. The paramedic didn't hesitate in giving Ruby a bag for her to throw up in.
"Hey!" The paramedic in the back shouted to the driver. "We need to hurry up!"
Yang jumped as the ambulance suddenly turned its lights on and began to speed up. Ruby's condition had worsened since they brought her in. The emergency vehicle had been obeying all traffic laws, stopping at red lights and all that. It brought Yang comfort in knowing that Ruby didn't need to be at a hospital ASAP. But now that they had turned on the sirens, she began to worry. Yang found herself beginning to hyperventilate, just as she had when they took Ruby to the hospital for the first time. Tears began to roll down her face, she couldn't help it; Ruby was her little sister, and she could be dying. Yang felt like Ruby's mother at times, after all, she was the only female in Ruby's life, so she had to be somewhat of a mother whether she wanted it or not. Ruby would take after her, take her example. If anything happened to her father in a few months, Yang would become Ruby's legal guardian. Not Qrow. Qrow wasn't legally Ruby's uncle, not that the redhead knew this. The only way Qrow would get to be the legal guardian of anybody is if Taiyang died before Yang turned eighteen. Being Ruby's guardian was not what Yang wanted. It would stress her out even more than Ruby did as her sister. It would make Yang responsible for everything that happened to the girl, and it freaked her out.
But Taiyang dying was the least of her worries at the moment; if Ruby died, he would go back to being who he was after Summer died. And Yang really didn't want that. Deep down, Yang supposed that might be one of her biggest reasons for caring so much about Ruby. Well, that was the original reason, but she soon came to realize that she cared about Ruby because, well, she only had one sister in her small family.
Yang wiped away the tears, making sure she could see while driving. Ruby would be fine. She always was. She always was. Only then did Yang notice that she was speeding and breaking many traffic laws to keep up with the ambulance. In fact, she was going so fast that her front wheel was just inches away from the rear bumper of the ambulance. She could see her father frowning at her from the window. He mouthed the words, "Slow down." Yang nodded and slowly applied the brakes, being sure not to flip her motorcycle.
