-----------------------------------------------

The sound of unceasing sobbing came from a room that sat in a darkly lit hallway, the sobbing betraying the amount of pain the one who made it was in. A blonde young lady sat on a bed in a dorm room crying loudly, her face was covered in salty tears and dribbles of snot as she held a small object in her small palm.

"Why didn't I realize her pain, why couldn't I help her as her sister..... but now your gone Ruby just like both of my mother's!" The young girl let out a pained scream as her heart throbbed in pain, she was suffering from a servere case of broken heart syndrome that was attacking her mind and body.

Her skin was pale from not eating enough and her hair hung loosely over her shoulder, her guilt and grief were eating her alive like a acidic demonic inferno. It had been two week's since her sister Ruby Rose's funeral and the girl named Yang had nearly lost the will to go on, she had already lost both of her mothers and now Ruby was gone as well.

It was like she was cursed to have every female member of her family leave or die.

Her father was trying every day to make sure that Yang didn't waste away from her grief, she only went to class and ate because her father pleaded for her to do so. Her friends Jaune and Pyrrha were outside the dorm doorway as they heard Yang sobbing, they opened the door as they rushed to hug the grieving blonde girl.

The three sobbed in devastation about the loss of their friend/sister that happened so suddenly, it happened in less than a day and they only just found out what had caused Ruby's word's.

"You want me gone fine then, I will leave but mark my word's I'll come back for revenge!" There was a reason Ruby had spoken those word's to the school, a reason that had only been found out in the last day.

Rain pattered softly against the roof and window's of the dorm the three friend's sat in, the soft sound and the darkness of the night casting lonely shadow's upon the room. There was silence except for the sob's of the mourning, they held in their hand's a single wilted Rose flower.

The Rose had once been a vivid beautiful red like the girl they grieved for, but it's leaves and brilliance had wilted and died turning an ugly brown. The sob's of the three echoed down the dormitory hallway as many student's tossed and turned in their bed's, the guilt of what they had down eating them away like a demon gnawing on a bone.

A dark cloud had settled on the school from the actions and atrocities committed against a once bright cheerful girl, they now saw the heavy price that been paid in their consequences.... a broken family and friends of the family.

"I couldn't see her torment at all even with my eyes, WHY COULDN'T I SEE IT AND NOW MY FRIEND IS GONE!" Pyrrha's body was wracked with painful sob's that were loud and gut wrenching, snot and tear's soaked her face as she tightly clutched her body with her muscled arm's.

Her tear's fell off her chin and face in stream's of crystal clear aquamarine color, the salty water soaked the Rose flower that sat in their joined together hand's. Jaune was no better off as he remembered the smile that Ruby had given him whenever she was happy, he would pay any price to see the smile of one of the most dear people to him again.
