Hey people, M4 here.
This is a continuation of chapter 7.
So, please enjoy this chapter and I will talk to ya'll later.
"Who did you lose?" That question made the punisher froze. He was silent, not wanting to answer that question.
"Was it some one you loved? Well, boo hoo buddy, let me tell you something. Everybody lost someone, doesn't mean you have to do this."
"Loss doesn't work the same for everybody red."
"Yeah, it's clearly not working for you."
"Maybe not. We don't get to pick the things that makes us better, red. To make us whole, we don't pick those things. My moment of clarity came from the strangest of places." He got up and walked to her. Sitting down, he smiled
"Why kind of name is team RWBY anyway?"
"Hey, at least we don't kill people."
"Is that why you think your better than me?" He got right into her face, she could smell the whiskey from his breath. Her heart rate raced and she was breathing heavily. He sat down again and looked at her.
"It doesn't matter who I am or who we are, people don't have to die."
"Do you seriously believe that!?"
"I believe it isn't my decision and it ain't yours either." He chuckled before punching the ground next to him. Ruby screamed at that, and the tears started flowing.
"P-please l-le-eave m-me a-a-alone. I w-wa-nt t-to go h-home." The punisher looked at her. A scared little girl, who wanted to go home. Back to her friends. Back to her school, and teachers.
Back to her family.
Ruby felt the chains untangle and weight was pulled off of her. She looked up and saw the punisher removing the chains off her.
"Leave, and don't ever cross me again." He motioned to the door that lead to the apartments main stairwell. Getting up shaking, she walked to the door and left.
The punisher took a bottle of whiskey, and watched as ruby made her way down the street.
"See you around red." He thought as he took a long swig from his whiskey.
Taiyang waited inside the hospital room with his eldest daughter, Yang. He prayed that his youngest was safe. He heard someone open the door.
"I told you not to..." He stopped when he saw who it was.
Ruby, accompanied with Ozpin, was standing there.
"Daddy...I'm home."
Taiyang rushed to her daughter, hugged her, and cried. Ruby began to cry as well.
"Ruby...are you ok?" He asked, tears still streaming down his face.
"I'm fine. He let me go; I thought he was going to kill me." Ruby started to cry again. Taiyang hugged her tighter.
"It's fine sweetie. He's gone now and Ozpin will do everything in his power to catch this...monster." He spat out. Ruby nodded before going to her sisters bed and sat down beside it.
"I'm gonna catch that son-of-a-bitch and when I do...I'll kill him." He said to Ozpin, who only nodded.
