Last time

Glynda:in the end the same hero complex as you summer, only she has it for different reasons. I hope I don't fail her like I failed you...

Glynda muttered softly having her own demons of guilt and regret to face. She shook her head and put an electric blanket on top of ruby. Ruby curled inside the blanket enjoying the warmth as she slept*

Now

Ruby was trembling in hot sand, her eyes red from all the tears, a mix of blood and a white liquid coming down her legs as she shakes like a leaf. Jake was sleeping soundly next to her after using ruby to release some stress, ruby felt completely numb and at the same time completely horrified from Jake forcing himself on to her again. she wanted the night's coldness to lower her heart till it stopped pumping. Ruby just wanted to die and end her torment*

???:Deep in the meadow, under the willow

A bed of grass, a soft green pillow

The world started to change into a more pleasant location as she was in a flower bed, instead of the desert she was in a meadow*

???:Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes And when again they open, the sun will rise

Ruby wanted to look around but she couldn't move, this wasn't the medicine. This felt different, more warm*

???:Here it's safe, and here it's warm

Here the daisies guard you from every harm

ruby felt her head be lifted and laid back down on 2 soft pillows, the action made ruby give out a small whimper*

???:Here your dreams are sweet–

–and tomorrow brings them true

Here is the place where I love you.

Ruby felt someone pet her hair softly as the singing continued, ruby felt something so foreign that she couldn't even describe it, what ruby couldn't describe is that she felt safe. Safe in the arms of this being*

???:Deep in the meadow, hidden far away

A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray

Forget your woes and let your troubles lay

And when again it's morning, they'll wash away

Ruby did her best to move her head closer to the warmth not wanting to let go of it, whatever it was she needed more of it desperately*

Here it's safe, and here it's warm

Here the daisies guard you from all harm Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true

The world started to vanish and the singing go as soft as a whisper, ruby could hear it as clear as a bird chirp*

???Here is the place where I love you

Real world

Ruby slowly fluttered her eyes and looked up, she saw Glynda looking down at her, her dream pillows was just Glynda's lap. With a soft morning groan she slowly got up, ignoring Glynda's look of concern*

Ruby:care to tell me what you were doing?

Glynda:you appeared to be having a bad dream as you were silently crying. When I used to get like that my mother would sing to me, it helped me feel better. I thought it would do the same for you

Ruby nodded, she looked around and just waited for her body to wake up with her brain, even if it's just been only a day ruby wanted to see how healed*

Ruby:I...thank you kindly, now where's your kitchen. I'm hungry

Glynda:lay back down I'll cook us breakfast. Are you well enough to make it to the table or will you eat here?

Ruby frowned slightly, it was too early for this. Ruby was already getting annoyed that this woman was implying that she was weak*

Ruby:I can walk just fine, and I can cook even better. I don't need your help

Glynda: I'm sure your food is lovely miss rose, but you need to rest, I think the both of us would rather not see you pass out a third time?

Ruby grumbled as Glynda got up and walked to the kitchen. Ruby touched her pockets and frowned*

Ruby:where the hell is my cactus juice?

Glynda: safely tucked away back at beacon. The medication your on doesn't allow you to have any drinks. Unless you want to violently throw up?

Ruby:throwing up is better then having a clear head

Ruby muttered to herself, the kitchen being so close to the living, Glynda could just barely make out what ruby said and gave a small frown*

Glynda"she wants to forget something, it could be how her sister abandoned her to be killed. But that's too easy of an answer, I can only imagine all that she's been through as a slave "

The room was quiet neither of them being conversationalists, so they enjoyed the quiet while it lasted. With trembling legs ruby got up, she had to place her hand on the couch, wall, even the lamp but she made it to the table ignoring the pain on her back. Glynda walked to the table and served ruby a big stack of pancakes, a half a pound of bacon and another half pound of sunny side eggs*

Glynda: I believe this will be enough to calm down your rather large appetite you want normal syrup or blueberry syrup?

Ruby; normal I guess? I haven't had any pancakes since I was 4. Back at vacuo the only breakfast food we had was bread

Glynda walked back to the kitchen and came back with blueberry syrup, all the while ruby had her mouth stretched out looking like the predator as she stuffed her face with eggs*

Glynda:really? That can't be right. I know they have a market there, they should have pancake mix

Ruby;your talking about the capital a place I'm banned from going unless I want to be sold as property again. I'm talking about the rest of vacuo,

Glynda nodded understanding like 90% of that since ruby spoke with her mouth full off food. Glynda poured the syrup on top of the pancakes and ruby started eating them*

Ruby;little too sweet for my liking I can see why someone like Nora likes them so much

Glynda:speaking of Nora. Do you wish to talk about it?

Ruby;I thought we've already discuss her. She got in the way, and I made sure she wouldn't get hurt under my watch, if she has a problem with that. Then so be it, I didn't come here to make friends, I came here for the mission

Glynda:but your time would be so much more enjoyable if you make friends, don't you think so?

Ruby:not even a little, after this mission done I'm going back to vacuo to defend and protect my people. There's still slaves I need to free, slavers that need killing. I don't see any of them coming to vacuo for a visit. Not when I'm always on the run, so why waste my time for friendships that won't last long?

Glynda:because...

Before Glynda can give her response the doorbell rang, Glynda took the napkin out of her lap and got up. Ruby took this chance to stuff 7 full pancakes in her mouth*

Glynda:excuse me, I'll go see who's at the door

Glynda walked to the door, ruby glanced down at the meat and sniffed it, just like pancakes, bacon was a luxury for the capital, so ruby hasn't had any since she lived in patched. She ate a bit and her eyes widen a little*

Ruby:now this is more for me...

Ruby said to herself as she stuffed her face with the bacon ignoring the sound of the pair of footsteps coming closer to her*

Ozpin:I would be careful miss rose, too much bacon can be bad for you

Ruby: not like I plan to see old age. Now what to you want ozpin. I was having such a nice time with Glynda before you showed up

Ozpin as always had that better then you smile, the smile that made ruby not trust him as far as she can throw him, he also for some reason had a crow on his shoulder. ozpin sat back down and ruby scooted farther away from him, it took everything she had not to wince in pain and show weakness in front of ozpin*

Ozpin:to answer your question, I. Here because I wanted a report on what happened when you hung out with team CRME

Ruby: nothing much they took me to an underground fight club that I know you're already aware of it's existence, got in the ring, lost 3 molars and my front tooth. And they let me win

Glynda came back with a cup of coffee for ozpin which he nodded in appreciation, ruby kept eating as Glynda sat down*

Ozpin;what makes you think they let you win?

Ruby: because I've seen members of the hanma family fight before, I know what I did wouldn't have achieved victory, they let me win. It appears that they want me to join them as much as you do ozpin. But for entirely different reason

Ruby finished her plate while glynda was only half way through, ozpin hummed taking of sip of his coffee*

Ozpin;and you have no interest joining them? Actually joining them instead of pretending?

Ruby:if salem wins we all die, as much as I want to discard my 2 cent life, I don't want my work to be for nothing. The people I've freed and the ones I'm gonna free, those deserve to live in a world not destroyed by Salem. So as much as I despise you and everything you and your alliances stand for, I'm squarely in your corner. Can't be an outlaw if there's no law to run from

Ozpin nodded, him and glynda had a bit of small talk but ozpin left getting the information that he needed. He didn't really need the information as he mostly knew everything ruby said already, but once outside the crow turned into qrow branwen*

Ozpin;as you can see your niece is in good hands, are you satisfied?

Qrow:yeah, thanks for this Oz

Ozpin nodded and left with qrow glancing at the window, he could get a glimpse of ruby's human side of the face, she almost looked like the photos tai always shows on her birthday., with a sigh he walked away*
