Chapter 9

Yang noticed her sister has been depressed ever since they return from their mission. She's been playing with her food and sighing. The blonde look over to her two team mates. The three of them exchange looks. Weiss ask, "Ruby, are you okay?" The white girl is startled. She dropped her fork onto the plate and look up to her team mates.

"O-oh, I'm fine. Don't worry..."

"You're not fine. You've been like this ever since we return from our mission. If you have any trouble, you can just tell us right now," Yang said.

Ruby sigh, however, she smiles. She notice her friends' concern for her. "It's nothing, sis. I'm going to see someone for a moment. You guys head back to the dorm," she said. She gets up and left the table.

"Doctor, there's someone would like to see you," the nurse said. Once Alex give her the approval, Ruby enters his office. He's quite surprise however, he welcome the white girl into his office. "Miss Rosé, what brings you here to see me...?"

The red haired man notice the depressed look on her face. Ruby settle herself on the couch in the room. The man prepared them some tea. Alex sit across the girl before him. "Is there something that concern you, Miss Rosé?" He ask.

"Just...call me Ruby, sir. Well, there's something that's bugging me. It's about the new type we've been fighting lately..." Alex's eyebrow raise slightly. He take a sip on his tea. He focused his sight onto Ruby, hearing every detail she try to say.

"This morning, my team fought with Vulpes and I followed it to the alley. Before I kill it, there's some sort of gold core in its body. And...there's something in the core... My gut told me not to kill it but I did. I can't see it clearly though but I think it's..."

"Are you positive, Ruby? It might be something else," Alex said. Ruby sigh and look down. She take a sip on her tea and put it back onto the coffee table. "I don't know, sir. If only I have both my sight, I might be able to see it clearly... And I'm stupid enough to kill it..."

Alex couldn't bear the tone of the girl before her. He place his cup onto the table and look at Ruby's scar. The three black scar from the fight with Leviathan. "I can return your sight, Ruby," he decided. The white girl look up in a jolt. "R-really?" She stuttered.

"Of course. I just need to extract the acid from your left face. You're lucky it didn't spread to your whole body." A new feeling sprouts in Ruby. She feel happiness in her despite the news is coming from the man who turned her into a Grimm. She can't wait to tell her friends the good news. "So, when can we start?" She ask.

"I'm free currently. Why don't we start before my shift?" He answered. Ruby smile's widen.

Yang, Weiss and Blake been walking around the school compound to find their leader. But for the past two hours, there's no sign of the white girl anywhere. "Where is that girl? She's not even in the dorm..." Weiss muttered.

"She seems troubled with something though. Do you guys have any idea about it?" Blake look at her two team mates. Both of them shook.

"No, and that's what worries me. She should've told us if she have something in her mind..." Yang reply. They went to the tree where the four of them use to rest under it but they had no luck. They decided to return to their dorm until a certain white haired girl blocked their path. Weiss was about to scold her for scaring them but she stare at her girlfriend's face. The usual black scars that damage her face has gone. Her left eye has return to normal.

Ruby snickers over her friends' reaction. "'Sup guys! Like my new look?" She said in enthusiasm. Yang immediately return to her conscious, "R-Ruby, your face..."

"I know! The scars' gone and I have both my sight! I can see clearly now! I forgot how bright the world is!" She exclaims. Blake giggles. Weiss crosses her arms and shook her head. Yang smile and touch her left face. The rough surface of the scars finally replaced by the smooth pure white skin of her sister.

"I miss this look of yours so bad, little sis..." She murmured. Ruby nuzzle her face into the blonde's palm just like a cat. She murmured, "I miss it too, big sis..."

In a distant midst, Alex watches the four girls with a smile on his face. He felt relief for the first time since he came to this prestigious academy. He doubt to gain trust from the white girl's team mates but seeing them happy makes the red haired man happy.

The girls decided to head back to their dorm and get some rest. Laughters and giggles filled the atmosphere between them. Ruby notice Alex has been staring at her. She smiles and secretly wave at him. A joy has sprout in his heart. He smiles and return the wave to the white girl.

Crimson swiped her card through the scanner, opening the door to the laboratory. A row of containers filled with Grimm lighten as she passes by. But her destination is the door at the end of the row. She swipe her card through the scanner at the wall and enters.

A man in black suit standing in the middle of the empty room. The woman in red dress approach her boss, "Sir, which subject should we send out to lure BEO A27?" She ask. The man didn't answer. However, he respond with a hearty chuckle.

"We don't have to. She'll come here by herself. And she'll soon realize where does exactly she belong with..." Crimson bow and excuse herself. He raise both his arms into the air with a crazed face.

"Oh, my beautiful creation! Daddy's here to welcome you back in my arms! I won't let anyone hurt you again!"
