Hey guys so I know I need to explain how Ruby knows Raven in this story, I explained a little this chapter but I will elaborate more as the story progresses. I know it may annoy some of you but Im not following the cannon story almost parallel im kind of trailing off a bit to make my story flow like I want it to. But anyways heres chapter 9

Raven POV

I walk back to Ruby's room and see her asleep. I smile a little at how much she looks like Yang when she sleeps. I wonder if she really does need me. What puzzles me though is how Ruby knew who I was. I need to ask her about that when she wakes up. I return to the living room of the cottage and flop on the couch I have in there. I let out a sigh and close my eyes. A little while later I feel something tugging on my arm. I open my eyes and see Ruby next to me.

"What's wrong?" I ask her still half asleep "your wound bothering you?"

"No….you were crying so I thought I would come see if you were ok." She tells me quietly

"Oh.." I say reaching up to feel that my eyes were still damp

"Im going to head back to bed ok?" Ruby told me standing up

"Wait..Ruby there is something I have been meaning to ask you." I say sitting up quickly

"What is it?" she asks hesitantly

"I was wondering..How do you know who I am?" I ask her staring at her silver eyes.

Ruby widens her eyes and looks at the ground. She fidgets for a few moments before our eyes meet again. She stays silent for a bit longer our eyes not moving from each others gaze.

"A while back….at our Uncle's place" Ruby began "Yang found an old picture on it was our dad and Uncle Qrow but the other two people I did not recognize except for Yang who reached out and grabbed the picture and held it."

Ruby sat back down and sighed "She immediately recognized you in the picture and pointed it out to me. She also told me that the other female in the picture was….my mom." Ruby fidgeted with her hands a bit.

"So you found out from your sister huh." I said sighing as well. "I guess it was only a matter of time before you both found out."

"Why did you leave Yang?" Ruby asked suddenly "do you know what she has been going through for years since you did that."

"Ruby I still don't know myself why I left." I tell her

"Then go see her so she can at least get some closure" Ruby said sharply

"Ruby we have already had this discussion! I am not going back I can't" I shout startling her a bit.

"Why can't you!" She shouts back "Yang has believed in you for the longest time even when my other teammates and me have told her it's better to forget than keep looking."

Ruby stands there and just looks at me waiting for me to answer. I don't have an answer is the problem. I have thought about trying to see her again but I don't want her to get wrapped up in what I do now. I don't want her to lead the same life style I do I want her to be better than me. I just look at Ruby without saying a thing. She turns around and goes back to her room. I need her to leave soon it's becoming harder for me to stay distant.

Weiss POV

It has been two days since Ruby had disappeared. I started losing focus in class and my professors are worried. I know that they mean well but it does not change the fact that she is not here with me. I mean everytime I think of her my heart skips a beat I can't be IN love with her...can I? I love her there is no doubt she is my partner she may be crazy and a total dolt at times but the hole she leaves when she isn't here says other. She needs to hurry back.

The bell signaling the end of class rang and as I got out of my seat next to Blake I hear her whisper something to me.

"Don't go to your next class meet me and Yang in the dorm room." She says quickly moving out of the class.

"What the hell is going on now" I sigh to myself not wanting to have to deal with their relationship problems right now.

I do what Blake tells me and I go to the dorm after class. Once I enter I see Nora, Pyrrha, Jaune, Ren. Blake and Yang in the room. As my eyes dart around looking at all their faces Yang stands up and speaks to our group.

"Alright everyone first thing is welcome back Nora we missed you a lot but we have a bigger problem at the moment as you probably all know by now my little sister Ruby is missing...I am tired of waiting for Ozpin to do something so that is why I called all of you here." Yang said her voice heavy "We are going to go out and see if we can find her."

"Are you serious right now Yang?" I say completely shocked at what she is asking us to do although the same idea has crossed my mind since she has been gone.

"Of course I am serious why wouldn't I be" Yang snaps at me before sighing "Weiss her being gone has been hitting me hard but it has hit you even harder."

"What are you talking about" I state harshly looking at the blonde brawler.

"You have been lost in thought in class not paying attention to anything." Blake says to me placing her hand on my shoulder

"You haven't been eating well either." Pyrrha says giving me a worried look.

"I-I.." I try to say something but no words are coming to mind to speak

"We all know that you love her." Nora says cheerfully without thought

"Nora!" Pyrrha says trying to silence the girl

My face goes a deep red all I want to do is leave and not come back...at least for a while. I turn quickly to leave the room when Yang speaks again.

"Weiss please...I need your help." She says pleading I turn around to face her lilac eyes that are begging for me to say yes.

I sigh knowing I can't argue with Yang when she gets like this "fine I will help only because she is my teammate and my partner." I say looking at Nora who has a cheesy grin on her face. "Where do we start looking though?" I ask looking around.

Everybody just stares at one another not saying a word until Ren finally speaks up.

"How about we start from her last position where we found petals and go from there to the forest." He says in his monotone voice. We all nod in agreement.

"Ok we will all meet outside later on make sure you have everything ready to fight if we need to." Yang says going to her closet to prepare.

Everyone disperses to get ready I stay in the middle of the room trying to figure out what the hell we will be doing. As I stand there I feel another hand on my shoulder this time it is Yang. She gives me hug and does not let me out of it.

"Weiss...thank you." was all she said before letting me go.

Ruby POV

I sink back onto the bed and rerun the words Raven told me over and over in my head. How could she not want to see her own daughter anymore how could my mom be friends with her. I roll over in the bed and sigh a little I want to go home but just that bit of walking to Raven in the living room killed my side. I pull out my scroll that was in my coat pocket. It has a giant crack in the middle of it making it utterly useless. I hold it against my chest as I start to fall asleep.

"Ruby..." I hear my name being called by someone.

"Who's there!" I shout into the blackness

"Ruby...you need to trust her."

I turn around frantically trying to see who is talking to me. I see no one around me but then I see a bright light like I am standing in a tunnel. At the end I see a figure in a white cloak. She looks at me and smiles.

"Are you the one talking to me?" I ask sharply not knowing if she is friend or foe.

"Ruby...you've grown so much." The cloaked figure says to me as she moves her head up a little so our eyes meet. As I stare at her looking back right at me is a pair of silver eyes just like mine.

Right as I am about to speak I jolt awake with a sharp pain in my side enough to make me yell. Raven bursts into the room and immediately starts helping with my side. As she works on me I think about the cloaked lady from my dream. She looked exactly like...mom.
