When Ruby got back to her dorm room, all her teammates were gone. Ruby saw a note on the door that read, "Went shopping. -Yang (P.S. yes, we will remember cookies, Ruby)" Ruby sighed and fell down on her bunk. She now had no one to entertain her. She eventually had an idea, and walked over to Yang's dresser. Ruby knew she kept movies and games in the bottom drawer, and Ruby's eyes stumbled upon an interesting title. "Nightmare on Elm Street". Ruby saw the cover. It looked rather interesting, and scary. Ruby didn't know why, but she felt in the mood for a scary movie right about now. She put the movie into the DVD player on the TV and started it up.
A while had now passed, and she was sitting in her bed, wrapped in a blanket. The movie was definitely scary, to say the least. Ruby then heard her scroll ring, and was more than a little startled. Ruby tried to pick up the device, but she realized her hands were incredibly shaky. She paused the movie and took a couple deep breaths before answering. "Hello?" "Ruby, you okay? It took awhile to answer." Yang replied on the other end. "Yeah, I'm fine." Ruby said, figuring it would be best not to mention the movie. "Well, something… happened. We'll be getting home late tonight." It was then Ruby noticed what time it was, and how dark it was outside. It quickly sent shivers down her spine, but Yang continued speaking, "We'll be home in about a half hour, just… be careful. Don't let anyone in the room-" Ruby then interrupted, "It's fine, sis, I can handle myself. Why're you so worried?" Yang paused for a moment and said, "Nevermind. Cya, sis!" Yang then hung up, leaving Ruby to her movie, which she quickly unpaused. Soon after, Ruby's scroll rang again. And right in the middle of an important scene. "Oh, for the love of…" Ruby paused the movie yet again and answered her scroll. "WHAT IS IT, YANG?" "Hello?" Said a voice Ruby didn't recognize. It sounded rather mechanical, but Ruby figured it wasn't important. "Oh. I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else." "That's okay. I am." The voice on the other end replied. "Wait, so, it's you, Yang?" Ruby asked, confused. "No, I'm not Yang." Replied the voice. Ruby quickly looked at the number that called her, and she didn't recognize it. "Okay, so, who are you?" Ruby asked, and he replied, "Who do you think?" Ruby sighed, and said, "Look, I usually love a good game, but this isn't funny. I was just in the middle of-" "Watching a movie?" The voice interrupted. Ruby was appalled. She began to look around the room. Whoever called her must be in the room. "What's your favorite scary movie, red? It looks like it's Nightmare On Elm Street." Ruby quickly locked the door and the window, and started tearing her room apart, but to no avail. "What's the matter? Can't find me? Velvet couldn't either..." Ruby responded, her voice now shaky. "What do you want?" "To see what your insides look like." Ruby quickly turned off the scroll and the TV, and went to grab her weapon. But it was now gone. "Looking for something?" Ruby heard the voice, but her scroll was turned off. And she turned around, and saw a man in black robes and a thin white mask behind her. He was also holding a knife above his head. Ruby screamed and dashed to the door, but it wouldn't open. The man tried to stab the knife at Ruby, but Ruby ducked and the knife cut into the door. Ruby then ran for the window, but the man lunged and grabbed her ankles, forcing her to trip. Ruby then turned around on her back, only for the man to grab her head and slam it against the hardwood floor. Ruby rubbed her head, now dizzy and disoriented. And the man reached over and grabbed his knife, ripping it out of the door. Ruby recognized it as a similar knife that killed Velvet. The main raised his knife, and Ruby raised her leg, and kicked the man off her fast and hard. The man flew backwards into the door, making a loud bang. Ruby then ran to the window, and quickly unlocked it. She then turned around, only to find the man gone, and her locked door now open. Ruby then backed away from the window, walking towards the door. She then noticed her weapon lying on the ground under Weiss's bed. Why it was there, Ruby didn't know, but she grabbed it and held it menacingly at the door. Suddenly, Yang ran into the room from behind a corner. "Ruby! Are you okay?! I heard banging, what happened?!" Ruby sighed in relief, "I'm fine, Yang." Ruby then realized something. "But I thought you said it would take a half hour. How did you-" Ruby then gasped. The number she saw, she thought she recognized it. It was Yang's scroll number. Ruby then started to slowly back away from Yang. "Uh, Ruby? What is it?" Ruby then raised her scythe. "Don't take another step closer…" Ruby said. Yang suddenly understood what Ruby was saying. "Ruby, put the Rose down. It's me. Your sister. I would never do this, you know that! Please believe m-" Suddenly, a scroll dropped seemingly from the ceiling. Ruby and Yang slowly looked up. And the man from before in the black robes and mask jumped down from the ceiling and kicked Yang in the face. Yang fell to the ground, and Ruby dashed to run for the door.
She ran down the hallways, until she caught up with her team. Ruby ran up and hugged Weiss and started crying. "Ruby, what's wrong? Are you-" "The killer! The one who killed Velvet! He tried to kill me and now he's fighting Yang!" "What?!" Weiss shouted, and Blake ran into the room. The door was only partly open, and Blake kicked the door open. Weiss and Ruby turned to look into the room.
And screamed.
Yang was on the ground, covered in stab marks, laying motionless. The window was open, no-doubt the killer's getaway
This CAN'T be happening… Ruby thought once more, as she saw her sister dead.
