Ruby's POV
I was crying into Cinder's shoulder, probably ruining the moment. But how could I help myself? I finally met someone who likes me other then the team and my friends! But, she's only here for the festival. She'll leave and it will be back to my normal life. This usual happens when I meet someone new. But why do I cry this time? Do I like her THAT much? Maybe. I mean. We did kiss but only for a split second. Nothing special. Yet I can't stop crying!
"Ruby, I will never leave you," Cinder whispered in my ear softly. "I promise that." She gently stroke my hair, trying to calm me down. Out of nowhere, I heard screams outside and before I knew it, someone blew down the entrance from outside! When the smoke cleared, a girl walked slowly inside. She had white hair, green eyes and a blue kung-fu suit with black outlines. She grinned, showing her bright white fangs to the crowd. "Hello, Beacon~!" She yelled. Everyone stared at her as her smile faded. "Hello, Beacon!" She repeated. "Hope you didn't start the party without me~!" Cinder let go of me and turned to her. She then pulled me behind her, lightly. "Ruby, stay behind me." She commanded.
"Hello, Cinder~!" She called out. Everybody's attention went to her. Even mine. "How have you been-." "Why are you here?!" Cinder interrupted. The intruder wide her eyes and flipped her hands up in the air, grunting. "Straight to business as always. I'm here for the party! Heh heh. How's you're night?" She asked as she walked towards us slowly. "Pretty good until you showed up." She growled.
The girl looking up and down at me. So I kept hidden behind Cinder. "That you're girlfriend~." She cooed. Cinder shook her head and responded, "JUST. ." "She seems to like you a lot by the way she's hiding behind your precious back... Ruby was it?" She asked me. I nodded lightly at her as she chuckled in response. "Don't let her looks fool you now, young Ruby. Cinder got more angry, pulled me in front of her and held me close. "Don't put that shit in her head!" She shouted. I shivered from her certain outburst. "What are you talking about? The truth?" She threatened. "Don't!" Cinder yelled out to her, making me jump a little. She held me closer and suddenly, it started to get hotter in the room. "Ruby, do you know Cinder's last name?" She questioned me. I shook my head quickly, afraid to know what would happen next. "Her last name is-."
Before she could finish, Cinder screamed, "Emerald! Mercury!" The two tried to attack her. But, she grabbed Mercury and swing him to Emerald, causing them to slam to the ground hard. Cinder let go of me and ran towards the girl. Cinder threw a kick at her to the face, which she blocked with her hand. But Cinder countered with a good kick in the face! She smiled at her move. Suddenly, Cinder's leg started to freeze into ice. "Cinder!" I called out. I then jumped to her, grabbed her and pushed the girl away.
When I landed on the ground, I turned to the intruder. "So cute. Who knew she would go for Little Red... Now, I'm not here for a fight. I'm here to warn! Heh heh heh. Everyone! The Fall are coming back to reclaim our throne! We WILL make you all equal! And don't even try to fight back! Because you won't win." She demanded, lifting a fist in the air then moved it in a circle, finally pointing to her chest. "LONG LIVE EQUALITY!" She shouted and laughed. The soilders tried to stop her but she disappeared, leaving a ice replica of herself.
"A replica? Is she still on the school grounds?" One of them asked. "No, she couldn't be." Mr. Ozpin said, checking out the work of art she left. I turned back to Cinder, a little worried. "Cinder, are you okay?!" I whined. She smiled a gentle smile. "I'm fine, Ruby," She assured. "This is easy to get rid of." She closed her eyes slowly as her clothes began to glow a orange like color. Her leg steamed up, soon turning back to normal. Cinder tried to get up, but was kinda clumsy right now. So I helped her up. I smiled at her, but her smile fades. "Ruby, I should-."
Suddenly, Mr. Adam grabbed her in a hold and the soilders pointed their guns to her. "Cinder, you are coming in for questioning about the incident." Mr. Ozpin demanded. "No!" I snapped at him. "You can't take her- She's innocent! She probably doesn't even know who that was." "Ruby, this is serious! That was a threat to the whole school and you expect us NOT to do our job and get some answers?! We have to! For your safety!" Mr. Adam said as he tighten his grip on Cinder, making her squirm a little. "But-." "Ruby." Cinder called my name softly. "It's okay. I'll come back, I promise." After, Mr. Adam pulled her away to the door and left with the staff. "Cinder, wait!" I said, trying to run to her. But Yang held me back, shaking her head. "Let's go, Ruby." Yang whispered and walked me back to the room. I know I was in BIG trouble and all, but.
All I could do was hope Cinder's okay...
