"I.." Did I believe her? I really wanted to. I looked deep into the eyes of my mortal enemy and saw something I didn't expect to see, tears.
"It's okay." I consoled Cinder at this point knowing she was telling the truth. "I believe you."
"Y-you do?" Cinder stammered whilst wiping tears from her eyes.
"I do." And I meant it. "But I still have questions."
"Like what?" Cinder replied.
"Like where the heck are we?" I responded.
"From what I can tell we are in a forest fabricated by your mind." Cinder replied solemnly. "While you were sleeping you would have convulsions and the ground would start to shake, leading me to believe this world was created by your mind."
"Wow." Was all I could muster. "What does that mean for us?"
"I have no idea." Cinder replied.
"How do we get back to the real world?" I asked.
"I don't know." Cinder replied but I could tell she was keeping something from me.
"I can't trust you if you keep lying to me." I scolded.
"I think you can return but I can't." Cinder offered.
"What, why?" I said regretting my rude tone.
"I think the reason I'm here is that my sole has nowhere else to go." Cinder said starting to cry again. "I-I think your blast de-destroyed my body."
I couldn't believe she was being so open with me. Just days ago we were mortal enemies now what were we?
"It's okay Cinder everything is going to be fine." I said whilst hugging her and stroking her hair like my mom used to do when I was little.
"It's okay you don't have to lie for my sake." She replied. "I think you need to try to wake up Ruby."
"But what if I can't come back to save you?" I replied.
"That's a risk I'm willing to take." Cinder replied. "Besides if there is a way to save me you'll probably find it out there not in here."

I saw the explosion of white atop the tower and instantly knew something was wrong. I also knew I was in no condition to help anyone at the moment.
"Stupid Ursa." I muttered under my breath. I decided that I had to go find help. I ran as fast as I could to were the ships were looking for anyone that could help and I ran into Qrow, Glynda, and Ironwood.
"We came as fast as we could." Qrow said.
"Where's Ozpin?" Glynda asked.
"Last we heard of he was fighting Cinder in the vault." I replied.
"And Ruby?" Added Qrow.
All I could do was gesture to the top of the tower where the glowing white light was still emanating from.
"Oh my god." Qrow gasped. "Glynda take Ironwood and look for Oz, I'm going to look for Ruby."
"I'm going with you!" I demanded. Qrow looked as if he was going to protest until he saw the death stare I was giving him. I quickly got my arm patched up and was ready to go. When we got to the bottom of the tower the four of us split up. "Good luck I yelled as they ran inside.
"Won't need it." Replied Ironwood in his usual cockiness.
I then used my semblance to propel me and Qrow to the top of the tower. I then say Ruby laying on the ground both eyes open and glowing. One was her normal silver color and the other was amber and had a strange orange halo around it.
"Ruby!" I exclaimed. No response. I ran to her side, but then she started to convulse. I was afraid she was going to hurt herself, so I did what any person that didn't have hidden feelings for their team leader would do, I pulled her into a tight hug. What the hell was going on here?
"Hey where's Pyrra?" Qrow asked. How could I forget about Pyrra.
A/N: Oh no Pyrraaaaaa!
"Wait if Pyrra is dead why is she listed as one of the main characters in the story?"
Damn you viewer and your perceptiveness! Always spoiling things. Yes Pyrra isn't dead. I'm not telling you anything more though! Anyways thanks to all my REAL viewers and make sure to let me know how you feel about this chapter.
