Ruby's POV
Me and Cinder walked down the dark sidewalk, thinking of what to say. She turned to me with a little frown. I smiled a little and she smiled back. "Cinder?" I called her. "Yes, Ruby?" She respond. "Who was that girl?" I asked. She sighed in anger then said, "A person I used to know." She answered. I looked down, thinking what I said was wrong. "She's a Fall. You know what a Fall is?" She asked me and I shook my head.
"The Fall is a family that has done nothing but cause harm. Their main objective? Make the world equal." Cinder stated. I didn't know what to say. The Fall family? Maybe Yang knew about them. I don't know. "How did she know you?" I questioned. "I-..." She stuttered, then stared at the floor."
We walked to the dock and sat at the end. I dipped my feet in, sighing quietly. Cinder did the same, but she shivered afterwards, which made me laugh. She did the same... "I'm so sorry about the dance, Ruby." She apologized. "No," I whispered. "It's okay. Not like it wasn't going to be ruined. I would've killed it or someone else! Mostly me though." I giggled a little. But, she just stared at me the whole time. "Ruby. Something bad is coming. And it's because of me." She said. "What do you mean?" I asked worried. "Ruby, the intruder is heir of the Fall family right now. I don't know her true plans or motives. But she just threatened all of us. All of Beacon Academy! Because of me..." She murmured. I could tell she was really down. But why? Just because of a little threat? I touched her shoulder, which made her jump up lightly. "Don't worry about it! We can take on whatever they throw at us!" I encouraged her. "We?" She said, confused. "Mhm! You are one of us now!" I cheered and hugged her. She hugged me back tightly.
"Why are you so nice to me?" She asked out of nowhere. "Because you are my mistress. And I'm your Ruby." I laughed as she chuckled a little and replied, "Yes, you are my Ruby. And," She pulled me away and messed with my hair, twirling it around her finger slowly. "It seems that my Ruby needs to be cleaned." After stating that, she pushed me into the water below. I came back up to the surface to see Cinder smiling at my look. I was completely soaking wet! "Heh heh heh. You look so funny right now." She commented. "Oh really?!" I smirked. "Now it's your turn to get washed!" I yelled and pulled her to me, causing her to get soaked. She came from under the water with a frown pasted to her face and her long hair covering her eyes.
All I could do was laugh out loud. She did the same and we both had a laugh together. Just to see her smile made our whole day. And that laugh that came out of her cherry lips made it even better. I don't know why, but, Cinder made me happy. These past days she's always been nice to me. She's done so much for me! I... I want to be with her forever. And in this one moment, I truly felt I was in heaven... My eyes connected to hers, and she slowly made her smile fade. She pulled me close and held me tight. She whispered, "Thank you" and kissed my cheek. I blushed a little then looked back at her. She was so gorgeous, I couldn't help but lean to her for a kiss. She did the same, closing her eyes. I did exactly like her,hearing nothing but the water breath quietly.
Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice call to me. "Ruby," I opened my eyes to see it was Blake. "What are you doing with me?" "You?" I questioned then turned to Cinder who was giggling. "Oh! Uh, I was, um, we were jus-." "I'm not going to ask," Blake interrupted. "Uh,okay." I said and walked out of the ocean. I shivered as the air hit my body quickly. Cinder saw this, walked out and hugged me. For some reason, I I started to feel warm like at the dance. It felt nice. Until she let go and told Blake, "Have a goodnight, little me." "You too. Big me?" She said quietly as Cinder walked away. I felt sadder and sadder the further she got from me. I wanted to hug her longer! But we had to our own way. Don't worry, Cinder. I'll hold you just like you hold me. I'll be with you more. And I will cherish you.
