So when I made part of this or the whole chapter, it is 6/27 so I finally found service to look at what's been going since I've been gone and probably when this publishes, The Blackening Rose has reached over 30,000 views. I'm just blown away and in tears on how great the story is to everyone, this won't live up to it since not a lot of people has read it but I hope the next story (which will be like a new writing age in my opinion) will be better than any story that I have made (In my opinion once again)... so here is Chapter 15…

(Same Disclaimer as the last chapter: Please leave an honest review of this chapter, I get the feeling that the quality of my chapters when I type them on my phone downgrade so if you could please take a few minutes of your time to make a review, that would be awesome)

Ruby

I can only hear screams and innocent lives pleading for help. All around me, the creatures of darkness began to harm those that we have to protect. I wish I could do something to help, but I can't... I don't have control of myself anymore. Beacon is right in my sight and a couple of more steps will mean that I have reached it but why am I going here, I'm supposed to be looking for Blake? That's when I saw her in front of me, realizing what was happening before her eyes with someone I haven't met before. Frozen in fear at what was happening to our home. Our friends and classmates are trying their best to protect the school as the Grimm began intruding on the once beautiful courtyards and gardens.

But that's not what I came here for... I'm here to get the girl that I loved. I don't want to hurt her! I screamed repeatedly in my mind. Stop yourself Ruby! Why can't I stop myself!? Blake had turned around and noticed me when I began running towards her. "Ruby... what's happened to you?" I heard her ask in a voice filled with fear. At this moment, she is looking at a Beowolf that has blood all over itself... blood of the men, women, and children it had slaughtered. "What did Cinder make you become?" Those questions hurt me deeply like daggers had struck my heart, but it didn't stop the manipulation I'm in and I lunged at her. Just in time, the mysterious girl next to her struck me with the blunt end of her weapon, a long, black colored gun blade. "Don't hurt her Kira! That's Ruby you just struck!" Blake exclaimed.

The girl known as Kira widened her eyes at my wife. "I know what Cinder had done... but that doesn't change the fact that she was going to hurt you!"

"I can handle this Kira!" I got up and threw myself at the two, my claws ready to shred anything in its way. Looks like my uncontrollable self will take her back to Cinder dead or alive.

I tried so hard to break out of her control, but I can only speak in a pained voice. "B-Blake... please h-help me."

Blake had shed a tear when I had said that, it's becoming too much for her to handle. She only managed to combat roll out of the attack range of my claws. "I'll get you out Ruby! Don't worry!" She shouted and took out her weapon Gambol Shroud.

"I'll help too!" Kira replied.

"No Kira! I don't want you getting hurt!"

"Well me neither! Plus I know you're going to need help!"

Blake gave her a look and sighed. "Alright, but be careful!" I roared uncontrollably in anger. I need to free myself and fast before someone gets hurt. I thought and continued trying to bring back control. I focused on Kira as she dodged my claws, waiting for the perfect time to strike. There was one problem with her attacks, she's mostly on the offensive and how she strikes leaves a lot of openings for me to get an advantage.

Another attack and she had left her right leg wide open for me to get an advantage so I took it, swinging my right paw at it. It made contact, leaving her in the air for a second so I can give another blow with my left paw. The force was powerful enough that she went flying towards a group of trees. "Kira!" Blake exclaimed as she sees her hit the wood with a loud thud, which made her become distracted as she began rushing towards Kira. I used the opportunity to strike her with my claw, leaving a huge gash on her back. If she had noticed and activated her aura, it wouldn't have been something that was major like a small laceration, but in this case, her back was oozing with blood. Blake screamed in pain and fell to the ground. I picked her up by her leg, leaving herself upside down; staring at me in fear. "Don't do this Ruby! Snap out of it!" She shouted. I replied with a roar, making her give out a whimper. "I know you're still in there... you're strong, I know it!" I ignored her and placed her in my mouth since I can't just carry her with my paws. Then I began to retrace the route I took when I was coming to Beacon, in minutes I was back in the same forest, right in front of Cinder.

I opened my mouth and slowly placed Blake on the ground. Cinder greeted her. "I see you're wounded." she said, noticing the small blood pool that was growing very slowly.

"Go to hell." Blake replied, I could sense the venom in that statement.

Cinder gave her a fiery jab to her chest, which caused her to whimper. "That's not nice to say."

"Why did you need Ruby to do this when you could have tried it on any other monster than her?!" Blake exclaimed, her expression furious.

"Why wouldn't I? I mean, she is the leader of the team that keeps wreaking havoc on my plans." She chuckled evilly.

"So that's what all of this is about?! Revenge?!"

"Revenge? I just wanted something for a long time… and now I can get It." she took out a bottle of mysterious grey dust. "Say ah Ruby." I didn't want to open my mouth but if forcefully opened, and then she opened the bottle and made me drink it's content's. Then I began feeling strange… no… it was more like pain and exhaustion. I looked at my furry paws and in a blink of an eye, the fur was gone and my normal human hands were there. Pain filled me heavily, my pale hands began to look bony and the sleeves of my combat attire began to feel loose. What's happening to me?! I screamed mentally. My legs gave way and I collapsed onto the ground, my whole body looked paper thin. "Have you also heard of dust that can suck the spirit of anyone? No?" Everything began to fade black, but then I heard Cinder in the most vigorous voice I have ever heard. "You're mine now… enjoy prison."

So there it is… I was supposed to release this on June 29th but I never got around to doing that so sorry for the delay. I only wrote 2 chapters during vacation… that sucks!
