A/N: Outlaws is back!!!! I've drafted a story line that I'm actually pretty proud of. I still haven't figured out a release schedule though. I think I can be comfortable with 1 chapter per week(with the occasional One-shots here and there when I have extra time). Just as a warning, I guess, the story will get pretty dark at times so consider this chapter like a calm before the storm chapter. Also I rewrote the prologue because I didn't really like the original one and the new story doesn't fit with it. I suggest checking it out first if you're coming back from the "Old" (I guess I'll call it that) Outlaws. Now, without further Ado...
X-Outlaws Chapter 3, Reminisce-X
At the end of the day, Ruby was left working on several papers(forged of course) so that she and Weiss is able to safely move into their new home, for a couple of months at least.
Weiss was taking a shower since it has been a long day and she and Ruby was mostly cooped up in a hot car. Weiss then thinks back to the time when she was nothing but a hostage to Ruby.
"Looks like we're almost here princess. I mean... you okay? I already told you, you're gonna be fine, the next thing you know you'll be back in your big mansion crying to your daddy. Honestly, I don't know how you people like you get by every day while overlooking people like us who actually have to work just to eat. Like ser-" Ruby was cut off by the sound of soft sobs coming from the seat behind her.
"H-How could y-you be so e-evil! YOU SICK FREAK! Does playing with people's emotions get you going that much!"
"Oh, what the fuck did I do now! I'm just trying to assure you that nothing's gonna happen to you! You know what, just shut up and wait till we get there. I can't stand your complaining any more."
Weiss complied and and stayed quiet sobbing to herself in the last few minutes of the car ride. When the hostage and captor reached their undisclosed location, Weiss was immediately and forcefully pulled out of the car and carried into a dark room. Weiss could tell that it was a different setting from the sudden change in lighting. She was struggling of course but halfway through, she stopped knowing that the effort was futile.
Weiss' captor spoke, "Mother! I-I brought you a gift!" Weiss could tell the nervous tone in her voice. Weiss was then put down on the ground, "This is Weiss Schnee, M'am. With the ransom for I-I'm sure it would be enough to pay f-for my debt, r-right?"
An older woman spoke. She sounds rather calm, compared to her captor at least, "Good job, Ruby. You did well bringing her here. And yes Ruby, your debt would've been fully paid with her ransom."
"Excuse me, M'am, you said would've. What would that mean?"
"Well, Ruby, I believe you're out of the loop."
"M'am? Out of the loop?"
"Ruby, did you not know that the Schnee Oil Company has been dismantled? Now the price for her safety has been dramatically reduced."
"But since she has family, she's still valuable right?" there was clear desperation in her captor's voice.
"Maybe. We have names that might be related to names that are connected to her but she is the only surviving member of her immediate family. She doesn't have any family member with the same level of wealth as her immediate family."
"W-What about my service. I-It must be worth something?"
"I'm not saying that she's worthless, she's just worth less. She has a nice body, good face, we can easily send her through the human trafficking system."
This caught Weiss' undivided attention. This had been everything she was afraid off. "Please! Anything but that! Please!" Weiss started to struggle and move about too much. Another person, this time a man, had to interfere and kicked Weiss in the gut, winding her.
"Why don't you show respect these two people while they're talking and quiet down a bit."
"Now, that was uncalled for Merc! She's been through enough," Her captor, Ruby, was the one to respond. "M-M'am, I can take her under my roof M'am that won't be necessary."
"Ruby are you sure about that. If you give her to us, we'll even consider deducting double of her worth from your debt because you at least tried."
"Y-Yes, M-M'am, I'm sure."
"Okay, now get out of here before I start thinking this was a waste of my time."
"Thank you for your patience, M'am"
Ruby helped Weiss to her feet and escorted her to her car. When they got on, Ruby took the blind folds off of Weiss and then the bindings throughout her body then started driving. For once, Weiss was able to see her captor now turned savior. She was wearing a red hoodie and a pair of blue jeans. she had porcelain white skin and brown hair with red highlights. Maybe it was the fact that she had lost her vision for a couple of days or that she was just saved by her but Weiss thought she was gorgeous.
"T-Thank you. You just saved me."
"Don't think about it too much. You okay? You got hit by Merc pretty bad."
"Yes, thank you. But why did you do that?"
"I said not to think about it much. But in short, You just remind me of my mom, well, my actual mom. She had everything once but when things got shitty, she lost everything. She had to do anything, and I mean anything to survive. She ended up selling her body and accidentally had me. I didn't want to sell your body so I can get a free pass, my mom would hate me if I did. Heh, like she would know, she's dead."
"I-I'm sorr-"
"No. I'm sorry. I never knew about you and still, I talked shit and I ended up saying some stupid shit about your parents."
Trying to avoid the newly created awkward atmosphere, Weiss changed the topic, "Where are you taking me anyway."
"I'm taking you to my place, you need a bath after that couple days while I was on the run. You can also stay with me for a while if you want."
Weiss' bath-time reminiscing was interrupted by a knock on the door and Ruby speaking, "Hey Weiss, are you okay in there, you've been there pretty long."
"I was just thinking about the time we first met."
"The time we met physically or personally."
"Personally."
"Oh okay. I just got done with our papers, mind if I join you in there." Weiss could already see the smirk on Ruby's face.
"Uh, how about...we talk in our new bed, I'm almost done."
"That's fine too."
Weiss finished up, dried off, and headed for their bedroom. Her night just got cut short as she saw Ruby was already asleep.
She whispered, "Oh, Ruby. I love you, you dolt."
