The smell of clean clothes and distant voices woke her up in an unknown room.
Trying to scan the space where she was with a blurred vision she managed to at least turn her head to get a better furniture all around the room,white bed,white walls,white everything…The room was pretty much empty with no more than the bed where she was sleeping just a few minutes ago,a closet near the door and a first aid kid.
Turning her head all around and with a confused look the girl was beginning to panic,just when she was about to stand up a hand stopped her.
A man dressed with a black suit and a green tie was sitting right near to her bed.
He smiled.
Memories from last night were coming to her like lightning,and with them,fear of where she might be.
"W-who are...where am I?..what am I doing here?! no no no what are you go-"
The young girl was about to do even more questions to that person when he stood up.
Looking right into her eyes the man moved forward.
"You…have silver eyes."
"…"
"Miss Ruby Rose right?"
"How do you-"
"Give me a second."
Once again she was interrupted by the man,who just stood up and went out of the he came back Ruby noticed a plate with something in man in black leaved the plate in a table near the bed and took a sit on the side of it.
Looking to the plate and back to the man her thoughts were a mess.
The man made a gesture for her to start eating if she wanted."Ok these are definitely poisoned."
"Go ahead."
Ruby didn't knew if the smile the man was wearing was one that she could believe.
*growls*
Even though she didn't trusted him her hunger had woken up the same time as she reaches her hand to the plate and grabs one and with even more care she took a bite.
With and expression that seemed like she just went to heaven and came back she started devouring the rest of the food.
The man,who has been watching her the whole time, began talking again.
"Miss Schnee will be glad to know you're with enough energy to eat."
"Miss Schnee?"
"Yes."He chuckled."So,are you feeling alright?"
"Uum..I think so but..can I ask you a few questions sir?"
"Go on."
"Who are you,why am I here,what is this place to begin with and why is a Schnee giving me food?Also can I have the recipe of these cuz' they're so good."
"Ozpin."
"Huh?"
"My name is Ozpin,head of the security of the Schnee company .You're here because you tried to steal the safe box of the mansion and Weiss Schnee,the daughter of ,founded you while you were at it and I think it's the original chef's recipe so be sure to ask him when you have time"
"…aren't you gonna…I don't know,get me into jail?"
"That's where I wanted to go Miss Rose,I have a deal for you."Ozpin stood up and began to drift the room.
"Huh?But I just stole one of the richest and powerful families of all Vale I mean I didn't actually stole anything since I got caught and all but there's no way you will leave me go without a punishment or something right?!wait...uumm..sir how did you even knew my name?"
The silence filled the room when Ozpin approached her.
"Miss Rose…"He began."While it is true that we caught you last night,it was just a lucky deactivated all the cameras all around the house and hacked all the alarms in here AND the security center where I work so we couln't be able to see what was happening or even know if it was happening something in the first place,thanks god we have Miss team is still trying to figure out how did a young girl even managed to get in here in the first place."He paused,looking through the window."I already knew a young thief in Vale had this family's fortune as her objective,and I knew it was you but you still made it past all of what we put to stop you and I have to say,I'm glad you made it."
"With all the respect sir,it was kinda easy to do so and I also don't get what you're saying."
"Ha,I knew you were good but yes,I guess we didn't put enough effort."He turned to face Ruby.
"I still don't know where you're trying to get."
"What I'm trying to say with all of this Miss Rose…I want you to work for me."
Eyes bright open now,Ruby couldn't believe what she just heard.
"Excuse me?"
In no more than 24 hours all of the work and research she had done for this job went to nothing just because she got distracted by this Weiss…a person who she didn't even had in her Schnee file,a little mistake that had dismantled her perfect plan to have a normal life.
And man she didn't even knew called Ozpin was saying he that he wanted Ruby to work for him,for the Schnee family…for that white-haired idea of having a "normal" job for once seemed nice by her eyes but she did hate the Schnee family…that's why she was stealing them In the first place.
Stealing isn't the easiest thing in the world,but she had talent,and her uncle saw always told her that if she was going to be like him,she had to knew who is the perfect the worst thief will know that stealing in one of the most protected mansions to a family that could literally send her to jail wasn't a good idea,but…she knew her reasons to do so,and so did Ozpin .
She didn't knew anything about that Weiss but her father and mother were a whole different aspect,Ruby always saw them like dictators,to her it was like the mayor of vale and all the politics were just puppets of this family,like they controlled everything.
It's because of the Schnee company that all of the others companies are destroyed,it's their fault that people like her uncle have to steal.
Just like if Ozpin could read her mind he said.
"A person of your capacities shouldn't be stealing to live,my spies had showed me what kind of life you have and I can affirm that if you begin working for the security of this company you won't have to live like that anymore."
Before she could say anything else Ozpin continued.
"And of course,when the notice that a 15 year old girl had got in his safe, wanted to bring you to jail."
"Eh!?"
"Don't worry I'm not see Miss Rose,I told that you had a certain reputation in Vale,we all know about your other jobs as a hacker and thief to try to survive,so when I told him that you could give us your help in exchange for forgiveness he had some requests for you."
Her uncle had showed her the way to be a great thief,the hacker part was by taught by herself,playing with the technology she stole ever since a young age.
"O-ok so.. his requests are?"
"He wants you to live here and work as whatever you do best in the house and when we need you for a job then you'll do it,a legal job of course."
After she almost choked he quickly continued once again with the details of the deal.
"You will be paid of course,I know there are things you need to take care of,you aren't the only one who can do a little research, so you can send it from here to your no,we haven't told anything to your sister if you were I'm correct you live with your uncle right now."
"Yes…"
"…Don't worry Miss Rose,we haven't told him that you tried to stole to the family that is in power of Vale,just that you've been offered a job and now you will live here."
"Wait I haven't even accepted yet!"
"Well that was another request from ,you can't say no to this because if you do so you'll have to go to jail."
"…what kind of deal is this..."She thought and trying to maintain some of her dignity she put a serious expression on her face."So…I'll live in this place as a maid or something?and then do my things when you ask me to?"
"Yes,I see you've made yourself to the idea quickly."Ozpin showed that reassuring smile again,like this was a real deal and not a kidnap like it was from Ruby's perspective.
"Well is this or jail…I can't believe I kind of accepted this…"resigned,she lays down in the bed to gather her thoughts.
Looking up to see Ozpin going somewhere,he stopped at the door and turned around to say one more thing.
"Oh before I go,you start tomorrow,a room will be assigned to you first thing in the morning,the rest of your schedule will be given to you by the head of the maids."
"K."
"Miss Rose?"
Ruby turned her gaze to see Ozpin leaving the room.
"Good luck."
"…"
Good luck huh.
