Here is another chapter and I have to say that it's almost the end of the school year so if there is no chapter the next day or the day after next week, it's because I want to spend the last few days of school with friends… anyways, here is Chapter 4…

Blake

I ran and didn't look back. I just left her there! I screamed in my head. Yang is not going to be happy when she notices that Weiss is not with me. "What am I going to do, I can't just hide the truth from her?!" I shouted aloud. This is bad, I thought that it was just going to be simple, get the medicine and give it to Ruby. But then Cinder Fall and Roman Torchwick just happened to be at the same place. What does she want with Weiss? That is one question that doesn't seem to escape my mind. What does Cinder want with Weiss? Her father's dead, which means they can't continue his research right? I tried to remember what had happened moments before she and I entered the lab. They had been going up the stairs when we were close to the entrance.

There had to be something there that they wanted. I thought. That could be the answer… it has to be. I need to stop thinking about this, right now; I need to get to Ruby and fast. I was sprinting beyond my limits but I did not slow down. A few moments later, Beacon was in clear view. Don't worry Ruby, I'm coming.

Ruby

I felt like I was on fire. The heat only got worse at every passing second. Please... come back Blake. I thought. It felt so painful; I just wanted it to stop. Yang was at my side, checking on me and making sure I won't feel lonely.

"Hang on Ruby, I know they're coming back." she said, trying to encourage me to withstand the pain.

"It hurts so much Yang… I just want it to stop." I said, giving her pleading eyes.

"Well don't worry, Blake and Weiss are coming, I can't do anything but be here for you so they're our only hope."

"I don't want to lose my memories… or become stupid."

"Me neither, I don't want your dream to be stripped away like this… we won't let that happen." I could feel her holding my hand and squeezing it tightly.

"Yang, you're hurting my hand." I said, her grip becoming too tight.

"Oh, I'm sorry." She loosened her grip; I could tell that she was becoming worried every time she glanced at the clock that was across the room. For some reason, I felt tired… exhausted and I couldn't feel anything, not even the lift of my fingers.

"Yang… I feel sleepy."

I could already notice that she was becoming worried and scared. "Don't sleep yet Ruby." It seemed to me that I was shutting down; I couldn't force myself to stay awake.

Everything was fading to black. "Goodnight… Yang." I said softly before I fell into a deep slumber.

Pain… that's all I could feel. I was alone in a strange dark place… maybe it was a room. I tried to call out Yang and Blake but for some reason I couldn't speak, like my voice was clipped. The only other option is to find my way out of the room, but it was so dark that I asked myself how I could even find the exit… if there was one?

I stretched my arms in front of me, waving them around to find maybe the walls or the door itself but a few minutes of walking straight, there was nothing. It's not a room. I thought instantly. But why do I have a roomy feeling if it's just a huge area? Then from all directions, light's blinded my eyes and I covered myself for a moment before adjusting to the bright lighting. What just happened, I thought it was not a room? I was standing in my team dorm room. If I was walking in here, then I must have surely hit something in the first few steps. Something was not right but I didn't know what it was… all I had was a strange feeling of despair.

Then in front of me, I noticed someone familiar, it was Weiss's father. I gasped. "What are you doing-" I stopped in mid-sentence to notice that I can talk now. The only response that he gave me is him walking towards me. "Get back!" I exclaimed, not hesitating to shout at him in anger. The first instinct is to pull out Crescent Rose from my back, but it wasn't there, so my next option is to switch to my combat beowolf form. I decided to give names for the different forms I can do so it can be easier for me to know which one I want to become. For some reason, when I focused myself to switch, it didn't work. What?! But that always works! I shouted in my head.

I was defenseless. There was nowhere for me to go… I was like a scared child wanting to run away but he/she couldn't. "Get the hell back!" I shouted, but he continued walking. No… I never wanted to go back to feeling this way. I thought. I felt weak, useless, vulnerable… scared. I hate feeling like it but in this situation, it came back to haunt me. Slowly, he became the white beowolf that I fought last year, and before I could witness what will happen to me, I was snapped back into reality with a jolt and a scream. On both sides of my bed, Blake and Yang jumped back in surprise. Then they composed themselves and asked what was wrong. "I-I-I had a nightmare… it never goes away, that one guy… the one that gave me this." I switched into my half beowolf form to show what I meant. Their eyes widened… they thought I was done with thinking about the past, but to tell the truth, it never ends in my dreams. I never mention his name now... it only makes me remember everything and since then, I tried not to remember what happened.

My faunus girlfriend and sister pulled me into a group hug. "Don't worry Ruby… he's never coming back, we made sure he won't come back remember?" Blake said to reassure me.

"We won't let anyone do those things to you again… no one's going to die anymore." Yang said.

I forgot about my fever but I realized that I was back to normal. "I gave you the medicine while you were sleeping."

They were being so nice to me, but then I noticed that someone was missing here. "Where's Weiss?" I asked.

Blake pulled away slowly with a saddened expression. "Something had happened when we were over there… something bad."

"What do you mean by bad?" Yang asked; her voice in a worried and frightened tone.

Blake hesitated. "She… she got kidnapped by Cinder Fall." Yang's eyes had widened when she mentioned her.

"Do you mean the woman I saw when Roman Torchwick was robbing the dust shop?" I asked. She gave me a nod… this cannot be good. Cinder Fall is someone that you do not want to mess with, she had done many dust robberies, some that my team and I were tasked to stop at my time at Beacon. She had killed people too, the list of crimes she has committed go on. Her kidnapping Weiss meant that something big was going to happen. She is the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, of course Cinder would target her… but what does she want Weiss to do? Send her own dust to the infamous criminal herself? I can't think of anything else she would want with our friend.

Weiss

I only felt the burning pain everywhere as Cinder kept lashing me with a whip. My feet were a few inches off the ground and I was stripped of almost all my clothing, leaving only my white undergarments. She only did this so she can bring pain to almost every single part of my body. "Now… I'm going to demand once more that you tell me where your secret dust is or I will just burn you with my own hands." I was crying in pain, I didn't want to take any more pain but what she demanded is not for anyone to know but me.

I looked down at the ground below me, my wrists already hurt from the rope that suspended me from the floor and there was blood on the ground around me. "For… the last time… I don't know what you're… talking about!" I shouted.

I don't know why I keep lying if she knows that I am a liar. "Well… if melting your layer of ice can make you tell me, then I will do it." I looked up slowly and weakly, and then I noticed that she was not kidding. Her hands blazed in flames, clenching her fists together, she swung her right arm at my chest. When her fist made contact with it, I screamed in agony, a burn mark was left on there and smoke had puffed out of it.

"Stop!" I exclaimed, tears falling from cheeks and my voice in a frightened tone.

"I'll stop when you tell me!" she shouted back.

"I'll never tell you… you bitch!" This enraged her and she swung her left arm this time, making contact with my right leg. More screams of agony are heard. I was at the limit of my pain tolerance; the corners of my sight were darkening, getting closer to the center.

I heard a sigh and a knife cutting rope. I fell to the ground and sobbed. "We'll just continue this until you give up the truth." she said, and then I blacked out.

Did I forget to mention that there will be torture in this story? No? Well sorry for not giving you guys a heads up but that's Chapter 4… a lot of crazy shit, hope you enjoyed and are pissed at Cinder. xD
