Hey everyone, I'm back and in school right now so probably half of this will be done at school and the last half at home. I can't wait for the Christmas Special that I'm going to start working on today….
Ruby
Blake told us to get some rest after she discussed her plan since it was still two o' clock in the afternoon so Weiss and I went upstairs to the bedroom next to Yang and Blake's room. "Do you think it will work?" She asked once we entered the room.
It was a very detailed plan where Blake was the bait while we ambush Adam when he's close enough to her "It's better than not doing anything Weiss." I replied, it sounds like a good idea to me even though I'm the leader. For some reason, I feel like she has doubts since the black haired faunus described Adam in a way that he shouldn't be messed with. Something was nagging at me though from that one night in the abandoned prison. "Weiss…am I lucky that I lived at the prison?" I asked the ice princess.
Weiss looked at me, surprised that I decided to bring that day up "I was there Ruby but you didn't live because of luck…you lived because you didn't give up."
I changed into my pajamas and lied down on the bed next to Weiss who now had a nightgown on. "I don't know…it's just I never was close to dying…I didn't think I would ever experience it until later." I murmured.
"It's alright, you're here now right?"
I nod "Yep…I'm still here." To be honest, I was scared…that night will scar me for life. My eyes slowly closed and I fell into a deep slumber.
The night…back at the prison….
I was put back in the events that happened; Weiss and I were stuck at the right section of the abandoned prison which was actually for mental patients. Luckily…there was no one there and the cells we passed were empty.
My headset comes on with a voice, it was Blake "Ruby, Weiss, I found her…meet me at the lounge."
I immediately responded after she finished "Ok we'll meet you the-"I stopped talking since there was patrols coming our way "Oh crap." Weiss and I jumped into a pile of desks that looked like they were stacked in a hurry.
"What going on?" Blake asked since she heard my surprise reaction.
"There is patrols coming our way they are at the exit of the section, were trapped here until they leave or until we take them out." I explained quietly.
She gasped before saying anything "Ok, just hide unless you think you can take them out. Don't get spotted if there is more than three."
"Ok." I replied, then Blake went silent.
Weiss was worried "How are we even going to get out of here…there is at least eight of them coming over here?" She asked quietly.
We can't panic, there has to be a way out. I scanned our surroundings, there was a staircase to the second floor catwalk but it's open and someone will need to make a distraction. There was nothing else we can do to make it out of here unscathed…the distraction that will have to be made will injure whoever does it. "Weiss…I know your not going to accept this plan since it will involve me being injured."
Weiss's blue eyes widened in horror "I'm not going to leave you Ruby." She said.
"Just hear me out for a second." I said, then she calmed down. Then I explained my plan "There's a staircase to the catwalk above us, I need you to wait here until the guards that are there have full attention on me since they have flashlights. Then, go up there quietly and fast and take them out when I'm taking a beating. My life is in your hands Weiss…don't let me die."
She put me in a tight embrace "I love you Ruby."
I wrapped my arms around her "I love you too Weiss." Once we finished saying our goodbyes since we don't know if this will kill me, I walked out of cover and placed my hands in the air.
The guards noticed me quickly as they lifted their guns towards me, the flashlights blinding me "IT'S HER!" one of them shouted.
The others kept their weapons aimed at me "PUT THE GUN DOWN, NOW!"
I shouted "OK, JUST DON'T SHOOT!" I slowly bent down and placed the suppressed pistol into the ground. "There, I did it!"
They didn't hesitate to restrain me as one of the guards handcuffed me and kicked my back, making me hit the ground with a thud. I overheard them talking about what they should do with me "It's that blonde's sister…should we take her to him?" one of them announced to the others.
One guard didn't agree to it "If it really is her, then let's just beat her until she's dead."
"Why the hell would we do that?"
"Don't you guys remember?! She's the one that killed our friends when they were robbing that dust shop with Roman Torchwick!"
I was getting impatient; Weiss can't do anything right now since some guards were looking up with the lights flashing. I saw one of the guards eyes widen "It is her guys! Screw what Adam said then, I say we kill the bitch now!"
Everyone came into an agreement, I knew that day I prevented a robbery will bite me in the ass "Let's show her what happens when they mess with us."
The guards all gathered around me with anger and excitement for a few seconds, then it exploded into a beat down on the one girl that was on the ground and that girl was me. I was getting kicked over and punched anywhere until I was bleeding. Bruises and lacerations marked my body; the guards didn't want me to just be bruised so some brought out small knives and barely pierced my pale white skin.
I don't know if Weiss was too shocked to do anything for the first couple of seconds but I finally heard a bullet enter someone's head. Everyone began to panic "Where the hell was that from?!" One of them shouted.
Another shot was heard and another guard fell to the ground "Holy shit…they got Grant!"
I got up and began to limp away until I was tackled "Where do you think your going?" I began to breathe heavily as if I was hyperventilating at the fear that was brewing inside me.
At this moment, the man that tackled me was the last one and I heard a click as if Weiss ran out of ammo.
"GET OFF OF ME!" I shouted.
He turned me around to where I faced him and that made me not want to look since he had a look I never wanted to see. "You don't know what I'm capable of girl." The thug sniffed me and the only thing I could was just struggle…I can't push him off…I can only struggle. "I am going to have a lot of fun with you."
My eyes widened in horror, I closed my eyes and waited for the moment of terror but it never came as I felt something splatter on me. I opened them slowly and I realized that it was blood that splattered onto my face and clothing. A white-haired girl stood in front of me as the man fell over to the right next to me, lifeless. His body had a line in his chest; Weiss stabbed him with a blade from the back. My body trembled…I was scared to death. "Ruby, are you ok?" Weiss asked in worry. She unlocked the cuffs and I sat up…my eyes still widened in horror.
I could only stutter a few words "H-he was g-going to…he was g-going to-"
She stopped me before I could finish with a tight embrace "It's ok, I'm here. No one will do that again." Tears fell from my eyes, the traumatizing moment burned into my brain and it will stay there until I die.
Present….
I woke up with a jolt…I will never forget that night. It was 8 PM and Weiss woke up "What's wrong Ruby?" she asked.
A few words escaped from my mouth "He was going to…."
Weiss hugged me but I remained expressionless "It's over Ruby…I promise it will never happen again, I love you." She pecked me on the cheek but I didn't return it with a kiss…I was frozen in time.
Sorry for the 3 day absence. I just couldn't type this chapter up and I was scared that I ended up with writer's block…but I'm back and hopefully I can get back to my one chapter a day schedule. This Christmas, I'll try my best to do 3 chapters of Golden that day.
