Silver Belladonna (Jaune Arc x oc)

6 - 'Something doesn't feel right'

The front door opens loudly as Qrow returns from his venture
"It's the same in every house, dead bodies, all in their beds" he pauses "but we'll have to stay here until the storm lifts. I'll go and have another look around, we're going to need a way to get out of here when we can" Qrow states
"I'll have a look around" Blondie volunteers
"I'll go with you" Blake joins her
"Alright let's get moving" the two of them leave together Blondie a couple of steps ahead of Blake

"You think they'll ever make up?" Ash asks the group
"I hope so" Little Rose speaks up.

Before long Blondie and my sister are back telling us they've found a trailer that can fit on Blondie's bike and can carry us all.

We all congregate in front of the fire trying to keep warm as the moon comes up and the temperature goes down.

"We should all get some rest so we're ready to leave when the snow settles" Little Rose suggests, most of us nod agreeing unlike Maria who starts muttering as she moves over to a chair further away so she can continue reading the boom she found
"I'm not having a little girl tell me what to do" I roll my eyes as I grab a blanket and a pillow and lay down.

I'm not sure how long I've been laying here staring at the ceiling but everyone in the room is asleep including Maria. I sit up taking a peek at each one of them making sure they're definitely asleep before getting up quietly and heading out of the room into the room next to which just has a chair at a desk. Qrow must still be out, I note.

I rock back on the chair reminiscing on my time at Beacon which feels like a lifetime ago.

I miss the others, it feels odd since I wasn't close with most of them, excluding Saph who I miss the most, yet I still miss them. I miss Nora's abundance of energy although it frustrates me at times, I miss Ren's ability to stay calm and level headed in the most stressful of situations. I miss Saph's emotional intelligence, her power of being able to understand people's emotions which I find fascinating. I miss Jaune. Where to start with Jaune? I miss his hypnotic electric blue eyes, his blonde shaggy hair, seriously get a hair cut, and I miss the way he acts cutely oblivious in serious situations.

Cute?!

I nearly fall off of my chair as the word pops up in my head.

I need to get out of this house; it's driving me insane.

I tiptoe back the my makeshift bed and lay down once again, I look up at the ceiling as my eye lids start feeling heavy.

"Silver" I feel someone shaking me and my eyes open wide as I try to shake the person off, as my eyes finally adjust to the light I notice it's Coral who woke me. "The snows stopped we're going to be leaving soon" her voice is tired, that much is certain.

Something doesn't feel right, now that I think about it, I feel off, tired very tired.

I get up though trying to shake off the tiredness but it stays even after I've stretched and grabbed my weapon, I shake my head ignoring it whilst I head outside leaving behind the creepy house.

Qrow and Oscar are already trying to fix the trailer onto Blondie's bike as the others (apart from Maria) huddle together, I walk over to join them.

"Just throw it away Rubes, we're done" I catch Blondie say
"I don't know" little rose mumbles as she slowly moves over to the well and holds the relic above it

My mind says let it fall whilst my heart tells her to do whatever she thinks is right.

Little Rose's eyes, which originally looked droopy, open wide and she lets out a gasp as the relic falls.
"No" she leans over the well looking inside

"It's okay Ruby, let's go" Blake tried to comfort her half heartedly
"No, we need to get it back" little Rose's eyes are determined as she looks between us "I saw something down there" she tells us seemingly worried
"Let's get it back then" I place my hand on her shoulder
"Okay" she nods firmly and the others follow us albeit slightly reluctantly.
