Weiss made a quick slice downwards, the duel had begun. It wasn't as friendly as the last one she'd had with Cinder. To be perfectly honest, this wasn't friendly at all.

Weiss took a deep breath as she waited for her time to strike, Cinder had already broken her team, broken her heart and broken beacon itself. Now Weiss was going to kill her. She spotted a weak spot in Cinders defence. A magical blind spot, she created two glyphs, one in front of Cinder, one behind. She launched herself forwards.

Cinders body fell limply to the ground, covered in sweat Weiss sat herself down on a large rock. She watched her home burn to the ground, watched as Yang dragged Ruby away. Blake nodded in her direction, the look in her eyes apologetic a last sign of sympathy. The way an owner looks at a dog as he hands it over to be put down. Beacon crumbled and collapsed into itself and Ruby disappeared.

Weiss woke up suddenly, cold sweat covering her body and her mind screaming all kinds of things. Ruby, who was curled up next to her, just hugged her tight and whispered reassurance into her ears. It took a while but eventually Weiss drifted off to a calmer sleep. Ruby kissed her on the forehead and followed suit.
