Here is chapter 8 :3 Hope you enjoy.
Remember to READ AND REVIEW :D
"Phone an ambulance, now." Ren ordered Pyrrah as he entered the room.
Pyrrah's hearts sunk "What's wrong?"
"Jaune's hurt…" The boy sat down "We found him too late…"
"Where is he?" She shot up, pulling her phone out of her back pocket.
"Sun is taking care of him… just hurry up and get him help…" Ren sighed.
Pyrrah nodded, walking over to the quiet closet to phone for help.
Ren clenched his fist "CRDL will pay…" This thought was the only thought in the black haired boys mind.
"Ren!" Sun burst through the door holding Jaune in his arms "We need him on that ambulance now. His breathing has slowed down…"
"Pyrrah is phoning one…" Ren replied, pointing to the closet door.
Sun kicked away some guitar bags off of the sofa and layed Jaune down "It better be here quick."
"Hey guys!" Yang shouted happily as she entered the room, the other band members in tow "They loved us!"
"Yeah!" The red and black haired girl nodded in agreement "They want Jaune out there for our encore!"
Ren and Sun looked at the 4 girls who had just entered and looked down at the ground "He won't be able to do that, Ruby…" Sun said sorrowfully, looking at Jaune on the sofa.
"What do you mean, Sun?" Asked the black haired girl with the bow.
Pyrrah burst into the room "The ambulance is on its way! They told me to get him outside so he will be ready to get on."
Yang started to feel worried "Where's Jaune?" She asked, concern could be heard in her voice.
Ren pointed at the sofa and frowned.
RWBY looked over the chair and gasped. Ruby ran back on to the stage dragging the white haired girl with her while Yang and the bow girl stood in silence.
Jaune's blonde hair was now stained a deep crimson colour and his face was covered in cuts and bruises. His clothes were stained with blood and dirt and were torn. His face held a pained expression.
Yang stayed silent "This is my fault… I shouldn't have made him do this…" She blamed herself.
"Blake, help me carry him to the ambulance." Sun spoke to the bow girl.
Blake nodded and moved over to help the boy lift Jaune up.
"I could have prevented this…" Yang frowned as the Pyrrah, Blake and Sun carried Jaune out of the room.
Ren stood up and put a hand on Yang's shoulder "I know what you are thinking." He frowned "And you're wrong…" He said before walking out to join the rest.
Pyrrah's eyes watered as Sun lifted Jaune into the back of the ambulance. Seeing Jaune lifeless and bloody was a painful sight.
"Pyrrah, go with him…" Ren frowned "I'll go and find Nora…" He said, walking back into the building.
The read head nodded and got in the back of the ambulance.
"Are you a family member?" A medic asked her.
Pyrrah nodded "I'm his girlfriend…" She responded "Not yet, anyway…" She thought sadly.
The medic nodded, understanding the situation. He got up and shut the door, leaving the two teens alone.
Pyrrah sat down next to Jaune and put her head next to his. Her tears streaming down her face "Please be okay, Jaune…" She cried into the table that Jaune was on.
Jaune's breathing had returned to normal, but he was still unconscious.
Pyrrah sat in silence during the journey, her eyes red and puffy. The tears now stinging as they came down.
"P..Pyr…" Came Jaune's raspy voice.
The girls head shot up at the sound "Jaune?" She looked at the boy.
"Pyrrah…" The boy managed to say before passing out.
"Jaune…" Pyrrah gave a tiny smile "Even though he got beaten near to death, I am still on his mind." The girl took Jaune's hand in her own and stroked it gently.
"The crowd was pretty upset…" Ruby frowned, not liking to disappoint an audience.
The white haired girl groaned "For once in your life Ruby, you need to think of someone other than the crowd…That boy was close to death…"
"Weiss… I'm sorry." Ruby apologised "Of course I am worried about Jaune. I'm just scared… I don't want that to happen to anyone…"
Weiss hugged the smaller girl "It's okay to be frightened, Ruby." Weiss frowned "I'm also… a little scared…" She admitted "Seeing Jaune like that just brought up some… bad memories."
"Princess…" Ruby smiled warmly in Weiss' embrace.
Weiss blushed "I told you to stop calling me that!"
Ruby giggled "Okay, Snow angel."
"That too!" Weiss shouted while Ruby giggled away.
Yang knocked on the door gently "Hey Pyrrah…" She greeted softly.
Pyrrah turned and smiled at the busty blonde "Hey Yang."
"How's he doing?" She asked the red head.
Pyrrah's smile fell "Better." She answered honestly "His breathing has returned and he has said a few words."
Yang gave a small smile "Oh really… What he say?"
Pyrrah blushed as she remembered the journey here "Nothing important…" She replied.
Yang noticed the blush but dropped the subject "Well anything is an improvement."
"I guess so…" Pyrrah laughed nervously "May I ask why you are here?"
Yang was stumped by the question, "Why am I here?" She wondered "I feel like it is my fault he is here right now, but apart from that I have no reason."
"Umm Yang…?" Pyrrah waved her hand in front of the blonde's face.
"I was worried about him…" Yang answered truthfully "It was my fault he was there…"
Pyrrah shook her head "It's no one's fault. Cardin did this because he is a cruel and violent person…"
"Cardin?" Yang asked "Who's that?"
Pyrrah remembered that Yang did not go to the same school as them "Beacon academy is a school full of gangs." She explained "Not all of them were violent like CRDL."
"Sounds like a…" Yang thought for a less offensive word to describe it "Weird school…"
"It is…" Pyrrah sighed again "Anyway, Cardin has had it out for Jaune the day that he started. Jaune saved me from him and it got Cardin jealous."
"Hmm." Yang thought "How do you know that it was Cardin who did it?"
"Ren messaged me saying that it was CRDL that did it." Pyrrah answered.
Yang smirked "I have an idea!" She announced.
"What is it?" The red head asked curiously.
Yang winked at the girl and began walking out "I'll explain some other time."
"Okay…" Pyrrah said in silence.
The girl looked at the time and sighed "It's getting late and I don't have a place to stay…" Pyrrah looked over to Jaune "I can't do that!"
She walked over to Jaune and frowned "I have no choice…" She frowned. She put her hand into the unconscious boys pocket and retrieved his house keys.
"Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" She apologised in her head while backing out of the room.
"What happened to Jaune?" Nora asked Ren as he layed down on his bed.
"CRDL." Ren said bluntly, he didn't like acting this way in front of Nora, but he was barely able to contain his anger.
Nora rested her head on the boy's chest "They will get what comes to them." She assured.
Ren stared at his girlfriend "I'll get to them before karma does…" He muttered and shut his eyes "I swear on it…"
Nora frowned "Are you alright?" She asked, noticing the sadness in his voice.
Ren nodded "I don't like people hurting my friends…"
"Me either…" Nora snuggled into his chest "Can we visit him tomorrow?" She asked.
"Of course we can." Ren smiled.
Nora smiled back and shut her eyes "I wonder how Pyrrah is feeling."
"This is breaking and entering!" Pyrrah's brain shouted at her as she unlocked Jaune's door.
"I have no other place to go, Jaune would understand…" Pyrrah whispered, trying to reassure herself as she shut and locked the door behind her.
She entered the living room and put her bag down near the chair "I hope he does not mind…" Pyrrah frowned.
Once she had put her bag down she walked into Jaune's bedroom and layed on his bed. Her mind travelled through the events that had happened today. First her mum kicked her out of her house and beat her, then Jaune being the singer for her favourite band and then finally Jaune getting put into hospital.
"What a crazy day…" She shut her eyes wishing sleep would overtake her.
Her mind went to what Yang had said "What is she planning?" She wondered "Will she get her own back at Cardin?"
Her eyes began to feel heavy and she let out a yawn "It's been a long day and you need rest." Her mind told her.
She got under Jaune's cover and smiled, letting sleep take her.
Not much happened in this chapter and I am sorry. This chapter is a start of the build up between all of the characters.
Hope you enjoyed it nonetheless :3 Please read and review or maybe even give a cheeky follow/fav if you haven't already :D
