Hey guys sorry I had not posted in a while been busy with changing jobs and I went to an anime convention last week so I have been pretty busy but not to worry I have not forgotten about you guys so I have been hard at work to bring you some more exciting chapters for the fanfics so please bear with me as I try to catch them up to date
Ruby POV
I feel warm and yet….cold. I try to move my arms and legs but to no avail. I listen trying to figure out where I am…that's right I was in the Emerald Forrest and I got attacked the last thing I remember was seeing blood. So much blood….I guess that means I'm dead. I should have listened to you Weiss, I would give anything to hear your voice again even if it's lecturing me. How long has it been. I hear someone talking…who could it be though?
I open my eyes to see that I am in a small room in a cottage. I look out the window and see that I am still within the Emerald Forrest. I go to get out of the bed I am on when I scream out in pain. I pull the covers down to see that I am shirtless in bed with bandaging around my side and waist. My mind flashes back to the Major attack. I place a hand on my side and wince a little as it stings when I do. I hear the door to the room open and see….. "her" walk in. Raven.
She looks over to me and says "How are you feeling?"
I just sit there and glare at her. She sighs knowing that I am not going to speak for very obvious reasons.
"Look I know I haven't made the best impression in the past but I had my reasons for it." She tells me sitting on the edge of the bed near the end. "But I am still in a sense your step mother or aunt however you want to see it."
I still sit there not saying a word but I do understand the relationship she has with me. It still doesn't change the fact of what she did to Yang. I let out a sigh as I look out the window again and at the forest. I wonder what the rest of them are doing? By now one of them has probably noticed that I am gone.
I grip the sheets a little harder as I sit there thinking. I feel Raven's gaze on me not a harsh one but a concerned caring feel. I look over at her and see her giving me a worried look. I open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out. I push and push but no words escaped.
"Ruby.." Raven said moving closer to me and extending her arms to wrap around me "it's over you are safe here."
At that moment I leaned into her and once again opened my mouth to speak but what came through wasn't words. I let out a great wail as tears started pouring down my face. All of the emotions that had been bottling up inside of me until this point, from staring death right in the face after I was hit to having Raven pull me away from it sparing me a while longer from its cold grasp. I sat there in her arms and just cried.
"Once your healed I will help you back to the edge of the forest near your school, but that's as far as I can take you." Raven tells me.
"What about Yang?" were the first actual words that left my mouth for her to hear.
"What about her?" asked Raven in a curious tone
"Do you not want to see her?" I say turning my eyes to look at her "she is your daughter and my sister and right now we need someone…..we need a mom." My voice trails off at the end of the sentence.
"Ruby I need you to understand something I am not Summer. Her spot in your heart is something I can't fill even if I tried to. And Yang…she has become a fine young woman on her own with out the need of me there to always tell her what to do." Raven says letting me out of the hug.
"But." I begin to say when Raven stops me.
"Ruby there is no point in arguing it once you've healed its back to school for you and I expect you to stay away from the forest." She said in a more serious tone "other wise I don't know if I will be around to help you again."
I slowly avert my gaze as Raven gets off the bed. I hear her open the door and feel her eyes look at me one last time.
"She keeps looking….she hasn't given up on you. She needs you more than you can imagine." I tell her as she steps out of the room. "We both need you."
As soon as those last words left my mouth the door closed shut and I went back to looking out the window. I want to see Yang again….even Weiss I want to hear her sweet voice again. As I had these thoughts Raven stood just outside the door thinking over the last words I said to her. As she did a few tears streamed down her face.
Yang POV
I stared out the window of the dorm looking at the forest. Ruby my little sister is lost in there somewhere and I am just sitting here doing nothing. Blake and Weiss are being nice and considerate but I need to do something. Blake would advise me not to and Weiss well there's no help there at all when it comes to impulse thinking. I lay back on my bed and think of all the options I have before me. As I am laying there I hear a knock on the door. I jump down from bed and go to see who it is. When I open the door I find Pyrrha waiting on the other side for me.
"Hello." She says to me trying to brighten the mood
"Hey" I respond trying to figure out why she is here. "did you uh need something?"
"I thought I would drop by and see how you are doing" she says to me giving me a small smile
"Im doing...fine" I lie to her trying to not make her worry "how about you? how is Nora doing?"
As I say that her smile fades a little. "she is...worse I guess you could say. She has some sort of infection right now that they are fighting. Nora is strong though so I know she will be ok." she says her voice quivering a little.
I reach out and give her a hug to show her that I am still here for her. She returns it and takes a step back.
"We will find her soon Yang I promise it." She tells me trying to cheer me up. I guess it kinda did since I smiled a little at it.
"Thanks Pyrrha" I tell her "I have to go now but thanks for dropping bu it means a lot."
"Anytime Yang" Pyrrha said as she walked across the hall to her own dorm room.
I closed the door and sighed I can't just sit around and wait any longer for Ruby to show back up I need to go find her. I grab Ember Celica and leave the dorm building and head towards the forest. As I stand at the edge all I can do is think of how scared Ruby must be right now all alone out there. As I am about to step off to go look for her I feel someone coming up behind me.
"Yang stop" Blake said to me as I turned around.
"And why should I it's not like you guys are are doing anything to help" I say to her harshly even though I hate being that way to her.
"I want to do something but we need to think rationally about this Yang" Blake pleads to me with her sad eyes.
"FUCK RATIONALLY MY LITTLE SISTER IS LOST OUT THERE AND THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS SIT AROUND DOING NOTHING!" I shout at her.
Blake stares at me eyes wide at what just happened. "Yang..." she says softly
"Im sorry Blake but this is something I really need to do." I tell her. I fire off Ember Celica at the ground in front of her sending her backwards but not hurting her.
I take off towards the forest, but look back at Blake who is sitting on the ground with tears in her eyes. She desperately tries to wipe them away but they keep coming. I stop and look at her then back at the forest. I sigh as I walk back towards Blake.
"Im sorry Blake" I tell her extending my hand helping her up "I just...I just." Blake silences me mid sentence by placing her lips to mine.
"Yang I understand how you feel but we will find her if it's the last thing we do" Blake says stroking my hair.
Raven POV
I step outside the cottage and stare at the sky. I kept tossing around Ruby's words in my head. So she has not given up search huh. I smile to myself knowing how much my daughter has turned out like me. I sigh and turn to go inside when I do I see Ruby's face looking out the window and for a moment I thought I saw her instead.
"Summer..." I whisper to myself before entering the building again.
