Hey guys Im back with the next chapter, I have been having a little trouble figuring out how I want things to play out so please bear with me while that happens and also Tears of the Valkrie is the other fanfic that deals with the Nora situation in Chapter 6 so if that peaked your interest that is something else that is going on at the moment too. Well enough rambling from me enjoy.
Weiss POV
I wake up a few hours later and roll over in my bed. I see Blake and Yang cuddled together on her bed. I slowly climb out of bed and turn to wake up Ruby. I look up onto her bed and see it still perfectly made and no Ruby.
"Ruby?" I ask out loud trying to see if she was in the bathroom "are you here Ruby?"
I go to the bathroom and turn the light on and see that its empty. Where the hell could she have gone? I quietly leave the room and head to the cafeteria to see if she was there getting herself some cookies. As I enter the food hall and see that it too is empty. Where the hell is she? I think of all the places she could be.
"The gym!" I yell to myself "she probably wanted to train to get stronger to take on whatever hurt Nora."
I run as fast as I could to the gym. When I arrive I hear the sounds of dummies getting pummeled. I sigh to myself as I am glad I found her, but when I open the door all I see is Pyrrha in there practicing. I start looking around the gym hoping to see her but once again she isn't here.
Pyrrha notices me looking around frantically and asks "Weiss is there something wrong?"
I jump at her voice as I was not expecting it "no nothing is wrong I just…can't seem to find Ruby anywhere." I say lowering my voice a little as the words left my mouth.
"I'm sure she is fine" Pyrrha tells me trying to reassure me.
"Hopefully she seemed ready to rush off to try and find Nora's…oh no" I tell Pyrrha before coming to a realization to where she might have gone.
I run outside of Beacon and start yelling her name "Ruby!" I shout into the air multiple times. I keep running around hoping to find a trail of to where she might have run to. I look around and see that I can view my dorm window from here. I begin to pull out my scroll when something on the ground catches my eye. There in the middle of the sidewalk was a small blanket of rose petals. I pull out my scroll and call Yang as quickly as I could.
"Come on Yang pick up this is important." I say to myself as I wait for her to answer
"Hello?" comes Yang's half awake voice
"Yang it's Weiss we have a problem I think Ruby ran off to fight whatever hurt Nora I am standing next to a blanket of rose petals that lead to the forest you have to come quick!" I say frantically
"Weiss calm down where are you we will be right there" comes Yang's voice
"I am right outside the dorm window you should be able to see me" I say to her. Shortly I see her in the window and wave to her. She waves back and I wait for her and Blake to show up. I look out towards the forest.
"Ruby I hope you're ok" I whisper to myself quietly.
Ruby POV
As I make my way through the forest the thought of what am I to say to her when I find her crosses my mind. I mean I can't just expect her to tell me right out she did it. I push these thoughts out of my head to focus on where I am. I look at my surroundings and try to figure out my location. As I look around I realize I am further into the Emerald Forest than we have ever been allowed to be. To be blunt I am lost.
"Man I thought I would be able to keep up but even with my speed I can't do it." I sigh to myself
I slow down from a run to just a walk. I look for a place that I would be able to rest for a bit before getting back on the hunt for Raven. I see a small clearing beyond the trees and decided it looked like a good place to rest. I go and find a spot to lean up against a tree. Before long I am asleep the sounds of nature surrounding me. Im woken up about two hours later by something rusling in the bushes behind me. I jump up and ready crecent rose. Before I knew it an major jumps out at me. I dodge it but my cape is torn by its claws.
"Hey this is my favorite cape asshole." I yell at the beast before activating my scyth and engaging the major. I quickly dash at it and start my attack on its legs hoping to knock it off balance. As I keep moving and sweeping I feel like there is something wrong. I roll out of the way of a strike before darting my eyes around. I hear the growl a second too late behind me and the next moment I am flying through the air and smash into a tree causing the wind to be knocked out. I lay there gasping for air and fading in and out of conciousness I feel something warm on my side.
I reach my hand down and when I pull it back up its covered in blood. I lay there crying attempting to yell for help but nothing is coming out. I slowly start to fade to black. My mind immediately thinks about Yang and what she will be going through and Weiss oh god not Weiss I never got to tell her my feelings. I pass out from the loss of blood and a final thought crosses my mind.
"I guess this is goodbye for now huh Weiss" I think to myself.
Yang POV
"Ruby!" I yell out at the forest edge hoping to get an answer. We have been walking the forest edge since the late afternoon its now past midnight. Blake comes over and grabs my hand while shaking her head. I know what she is saying but I dont want to quit not yet not even for the day I need to find her.
"Yang" Blake says to me "what good would it do to try and find her when you yourself arent in shape to help her either"
"I have to try Blake!" I snap at her she gives me a look of shock and slowly lets go of my hand. I pause for a moment and think about what I just did.
"Blake im sorry its just she is my little sis I need to find her what kind of big sister am I if I can't help her" I say shaking trying to hold back my tears
"She would want you to take care of yourself to and you know that as well" Blake responds "we still have tomorrow if we cannot find her then or she does not return we will go to Ozping to get a serch team set up to help look"
I hesitate thinking that waiting until tomorrow will be to late for her. Blake wraps me in a hug. I stand there for a little bit longer as the moon hovers in the sky above the forest.
"Please be ok Ruby...I don't know if I could forgive myself if something happened to you" I think to myself before turning and heading back to the dorm with Blake and Weiss.
Raven POV
I look down at the wounded huntress I had picked up in the forest. I give a small smile. She looks exactly like her.
