Wilted Frenzy

Epiloge

Ruby Pov:

Dream:

Lisa: Why...

I stood there in a dark abyss. The only thing in front of me was Lisa.

Lisa: How could you!?

Ruby: I'm sorry! I didn't want to-

Lisa: You said you would help me!!

I clutched my head trying to ignore it.

Ruby: I swear I wanted to! It's just you weren't even human anymore! I had to stop to stop you somehow!

Lisa: So you killed me. I bet you enjoyed it....

Lisa was no longer screaming and cursing at me. I looked up and looked in horror as I saw Mom, Dad, Qrow, Yang and Lisa all in front of me. their eyes no longer there and leaking out the same orange ooze like Lisa.

All: Murderer...

Awake:

Ruby: NO!!!!!

I jolted out of bed I looked around trying to breath gasping for air. I clutch my head and try to calm down.

Ruby: It's okay Ruby. It was just a dream....

I repeat that sentence a couple of times as I feel myself calm down as it becomes easier to breath. I slowly get up from the bed as I put my face down to my palms. I calmed down but everything still feels like its spinning. I decided to sit there for a couple more minutes before getting to work. I went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the only to see Yang with her eyes gone leaking out an orange ooze her chest opened and her insides on display. I quickly close my eyes and walk to the shower.

Ruby: It's not real Ruby. It's all in your head...

I repeat to myself as I continue to get ready for the day. I don't know why this keeps happening and why I keep seeing them. It's been 3 years since Yang and Dad died. I found out Dad died because a random atlas ship was flying over our house and exploded crashing into our house killing Dad. I took some medication to help calm myself and just when I was about to leave I saw Dad on the couch some of his body parts missing and an orange liquid coming out of his body. I rushed out of my home and went outside to be greeted by the many people of Mistral. I moved here with Uncle Qrow when my house got destroyed. It was almost like my old home and wasn't too bad of a place to live in. I walk to work and look at the walls to see a lot of posters saying "The End is Near''. I didn't take too much time on the signs and walked for about 20 min seeing Yang here and there. I walk into a building for Huntsman and Huntresses only and enter seeing all the people in there looking at boards for jobs. I make my way to one of the boards and see lots of red jobs. There have been new types of Grimm popping out, they say. They are known as Corrupted Grimm and they were much more dangerous than normal Grimm. They looked like regular Grimm but instead had boils on their body and orange liquid flowing out of their body. Although they were only slightly harder and faster they were still easy enough to kill.

Huntsman: Hey have heard of that corrupted Grimm girl.

I look behind as I hear two people talking with each other.

Huntsman 2: Yeah I heard that it looks like a woman with spider legs protruding from its back. and vomiting out orange like the Corrupted Grimm.

Huntsman: Wanna hunt it down I heard it's got a really high reward.

Huntsman 2: No way Man! Do you know how many Huntsman went after that thing and survived!?

I decided to ignore the rest of the conversation and continue to look for jobs. There's no way I would go after it. I wonder though....could it be Lisa....no she's gone that's just. I look at my right and see Uncle Qrow. He looked bloated and the orange liquid was coming out of his mouth and eyes. Uncle Qrow also died because he drank too much and killed his liver in the process. I could have helped him. I grab my head and close my eyes for a bit.
