Beep ... Beep ... Beep.

Ruby slowly opened her eyes, adjusting to the bright light. Glancing around, she saw Yang, asleep in another hospital bed, attached to what seemed to be an endless amounts of IVs, heart monitors, Aura monitors, and a plethora of other observation equipment. Struggling to sit up, Ruby ripped out several of her own tubes and electrodes, causing an alarm to sound. Immediately, a doctor followed by two panicked nurses crashed into the room, looking for a dying patient. After seeing that Ruby had awoken, and was in the process of pulling off the heart monitor, they visibly relaxed. As Ruby watched their reactions with curiosity, the Doctor came forward to introduce himself.

"Hello Ruby, my name is Dr. Zhou. It's nice to finally meet you in person."

In a state of confusion, Ruby asked him,"Excuse me, but where are we? The last thing I remember was thinking Yang was dead and crying over her."

"Well, right now you are in the Beacon Academy Hospital. Your Uncle Qrow found you out in the Emerald forest, lying passed out next to 20 beowolf corpses. Under you was Yang, whose death was prevented thanks to your luck. As you passed out, you fell on top of her ripped gut wound, causing the bleeding to stop enough for her aura to start to heal it. After finding you two, he called in a favor from our headmaster. And thats how you ended up here."

Ruby responded,"Did you guys find Lyle, he was there with us!"

"Sadly, we found his body, several meters away. Unfortunately, his vital organs were eaten by a beowolf, causing him to die," Zhou mundanely spouted.

Without giving Ruby time to fully comprehend his response, Dr. Zhou began to explain the events of that night to Ruby and wanted her to fill in any gaps they had. Ruby explained that she had been knocked out and had woken up to the remnants of the battle, quickly finishing off the last beowolves before they could kill Yang. After talking briefly, Zhou and the nurses left Ruby's room to let her rest.

Around noon, someone knocked on Ruby's door. Quickly straightening out her clothes she responded,"Come on in." As she finished a older man wearing a green and grey business suit walked in, taking off his bowler hat.

"Don't mind if I do, Ms Rose. Now to get the greetings out of the way. I am Ozpin, the headmaster here at Beacon, and I have a proposition for you. How would you like to attend Beacon Academy next semester with your sister? This would allow you to become a huntress in 4 years, improve your fighting skills, and settle your 'grudge' against the Grimm, so what do you say?"

"What else can I say but YES! Of course I accept your offer. This has been my dream since that horrible night,"Ruby rambled in excitement, almost jumping up and down on her bed in joy.

"Okay then, you will be sent home today and hopefully Ms Long will be sent home in a few days. On behalf of Beacon, we look forward to seeing you here again next week."
