It had been more than 2 weeks since Ruby left Neo's hideout. Beacon was finally in sight. She noticed that there were more guards out on duty than usual.

Ruby-Hey guys, are we under attack?

Guard- Miss Rose, is that really? You guys go get Mistress Weiss and the others quickly.

The guard pointed his gun towards Ruby. He signaled the remaining men to also point their guns at the girl.

Guard- Miss Rose, put your hands up. We would like to question you about the murder of Roman

Ruby pov- this guy doesn't shut up. I really want to strangle this asshole so he will stop bugging me about Roman. So far, it looks like Neo was right. I won't be accepted back into beacon.

Ruby's thoughts came to an end as her teammates came around the corner. Yang began to cry as she ran up and hugged her sister.

Yang-Oh my God sis, we thought you were dead.

Blake-Ruby are you hurt? Let's check up on you inside. Let's go.

Weiss- You moron, don't go make us worried like that. Let's go inside and get you checked out.

Ruby- do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I don't know that you guys abandoned me and left me to die? You act like I don't know that and that I don't know you are trying to lure me inside in order to apprehend me?

Weiss-Ruby, we didn't leave you to die, it's a misunderstanding...

Ruby-You aren't denying that you are trying to apprehend me. What am I a criminal now?

Yang- No sis, it isn't like that you did the right thing killing Roman, however..

Ruby- shut the hell up!!! I don't believe you. I know you all see me as a monster.

Yang- Sis, you are acting like a monster. You enjoyed killing Roman. Murder isn't okay, Ruby! Listen, if you come quietly. We can vouch for you. We can shorten your sentence.

Ruby- shorten my sentence!?!?  I would expect to hear this shit from Weiss and Blake, but not from you Yang, not my own sister!

Blake- Ruby Murder is still murder. Just because we are huntresses doesn't mean we are allowed to kill.

Ruby- What am I suddenly supposed to listen to a filthy faunus like you don't make me laugh.

Yang was enraged by her sister's words and in a blind rage. Yang punched Ruby, knocking her to the ground and she continued punching her over and over again. Ruby quickly recovered and spit blood onto Yang's face and smirked.

Ruby-Maybe I should have let Roman kill all of you.

Blake and Weiss were about to fight but they were incapacitated by Ruby's aura. They were petrified, the happy, cheerful girl they knew was a monster... Ruby walked over to the guard who was now cowering on the ground. She swung Crescent Rose rage in her eyes. The weapon hit the guard's neck. Despite being dull, it swiftly cut through the neck like butter. "That's what happens when you anger me" she scoffed, turning her attention to her sister.  Yang mustered every bit of courage she had to attack her sister once more, but this time on contact she disappeared into petals, leaving Crescent Rose behind. As Yang looked off into the distance, all she could think about was what happened to her sister.
