Weiss noticed Ruby's behavior after that day.
Ruby would spend more time in the bathroom, and when Weiss would barge in, Ruby would be simply checking her eyes. Why she would do this was beyond Weiss. In class, Ruby would often look down at her nails, as if they would change.
Other than that, Ruby was pretty normal.
The two would spend time together and talk about certain subjects or how their relationship would work. Of course, they would not be open about it like Yang or Blake was. If a student was lucky enough, they would see Ruby or Weiss sitting next together or holding hands. The holding hands was Ruby's idea, much to Weiss' embarrassment. Finally, the day Ruby was waiting for almost half a month for was here.
It was the night her and Weiss would go on that long planned date.
Ruby dressed rather well, for someone who rarely changed out of her common attire. She wore a pair of black jeans with a red long-sleeve shirt with a black version of her symbol on the right shoulder. Needless to say, it matched the shirt well. She also wore a pair of running shoes.
Weiss was dressed almost as casual as her partner. She wore a white short-sleeve T-shirt. She had on a pair of light blue pants to go along with the shirt. She kept her hair in her ponytail. At seven o'clock, she and Ruby were at a very nice restaurant.
"I know it's not what you're used to, but I want to take you to somewhere nice at least."
Needless to say, the dinner was nice. It certainly was not like the high-class food Weiss would have in Atlas, but she had to fake the food's taste so Ruby would not be hurt. Ruby quickly ate her dinner to save room for dessert. Weiss skipped out on dessert and Ruby of course had a strawberry tart with five cookies on the side. Weiss simply sat there in amazement as the girl simply wolfed down the treats.
Ruby chewed her food and offered some of the dessert.
"No thanks." She simply waved her hand aside, with the girl taking it as a cue to continue her sweet feast.
After the bill was paid (Ruby had offered but it was Weiss who paid it), the two girls were back at the dorm. As the two got ready to go to bed, they were talking about the night quietly, less they wake up Blake and Yang.
"Weiss?"
"Huh?"
Ruby got on her bunk bed as Weiss got in her own bed, as her real meal would begin when everyone was asleep.
"I was wondering, do you think we will be together till the end of our days?"
It was simple, if not childish question. To Ruby, it was simply innocent enough. But to Weiss, it raised some questions.
Weiss was immortal, Ruby was not.
"Yeah, I think we will."
"Goodnight, snow angel."
Weiss groaned inwardly about the name, but was slightly worried. Would she be able to answer that one question Ruby had asked her…?
2 weeks later…
"Excellent training again, Weiss. Your skills with hypnotic suggestion have improved." Vlad congratulated on his apprentice.
The two spend yet another weekend honing the heiress skills in vampiric abilities. Weiss was improving, which is quite a statement. As they flew back to Vale on his Bullhead, a small question was in the back of Weiss' head.
"Master, I have a question."
"Ask away." He replied casually.
"Can a vampire fall in love?"
It sounded like a stupid way to phrase the question, but Weiss simply could not think of another way to ask him. Vlad simply sighed as he looked ahead.
"Yes, we can love like any normal person can. But it is rather difficult. We must resist feeding on our loved ones. But I have a question for you."
"Okay."
"Do you know the extent of our immortality?
It was a strange question. Weiss always assumed that immortality was when someone or something could not die. She remembered from the stories of reading vampires that they themselves were immortal creatures.
"No, I really don't."
Vlad simply sighed and began his speech.
"Vampires can still die like a person can. If they don't drink blood, our sun shield will fail and we will burn and certain metals can affect us. Also, certain poisons may affect us. But we are people who will never die of old age or disease. We will never wither away or age. Can you imagine what that's like? Never aging while your friends and family around you die?"
Weiss couldn't begin to fathom what her master had just told her. A hundred years from now, Weiss would simply look the way she did now, but her family and friends would be all dead. Ruby included.
"I never knew." Weiss said, flabbergasted.
"It happened to me once. I met a woman called Alea. She was a beautiful woman. The love of my life. She knew I was a vampire, but she never thought less of me for what I had to do. I meant her ninety years ago, and we fought both Grimm and man together. Eventually we got married. We continued our crusade, though we never had children."
"Why not?"
"Because I feared that my vampirism will spread to them. Maybe even my wife. As the years went by, her body began to degenerate while I remained young. Eventually, she became too old to fight and I sat there by her death bed."
Weiss could see the image in her head.
"I wanted to give her vampirism, to perhaps heal whatever aliment she had, but she said that I would just have to accept her fate. I watched as she took her last breaths right in front of me."
Weiss could see herself doing the same thing with Ruby. Weiss would simply be sitting by Ruby's deathbed.
"When I said I was sorry for cursing you to this life, I did not just mean that because you now have to drink blood, I mean that because of my story may repeat with you."
Weiss had a lot to think about for the remainder of the flight. Would she have to break up with Ruby because she was afraid of her heart being broken if Ruby died? She could imagine her life without her.
'I will try to spend the rest of my life with her, and live every day like it was her last.'
The two remained silent when Weiss got out of the Bullhead. They only gave silent nods as Weiss walked towards Beacon.
Vlad sat there in the Bullhead, wondering the strange smell she had on her the whole weekend. Weiss did not mention she had a dog…
A/N: I wanted this chapter to addresses something that is not really addressed upon with vampires. How would a romance work between an immortal being compared with someone who would eventually age and die. But I do have a work around for this, don't you worry.
Next Chapter
Even a man who is pure of heart.
And says his prayers by night.
May become a wolf when the wolfsbane blooms.
And the autumn moon is bright.
The wolf is coming…..
Don't forget to favorite, follow and review.
Have an awesome day!
