Stele (A RWBY story)

Round one: Problem with Family

Like I said, I wouldn't break the make shift wall that Weiss put between the bed. Instead Ruby did, as when I woke up she was laying on top of it...except she lay backwards. I'm glad for my mask as she kept moving around, as she kept kicking her feet. She kept on going on about catching some cookie? Or was it a strawberry? Either way I raised a piece of metal before she got me in the face, while when she finally stopped it was near Weiss. I'll let her deal with that.

Stele: "Did you see it?"

I couldn't quite fully see her from where I lay, but I knew she was awake. She was always first awake and always with a book in hand.

Blake: "Ruby falling down there? Yeah."

She flipped to the next page, that was all I could see from laying down, just the tips of her fingers as she turned to the next page.

Stele: "Was it funny?"

I sat up with a yawn and a stretch, now seeing a bit more of Blake on her bed.

Blake: "No I did not laugh as she fell down. But seeing her either try and chase a strawberry cookie, or run from one was."

Looped around her fingers as her thumb spun it around was the bracelet. Now I didn't have to sit up to know what she was doing, but I still wanted to actually see it.

Stele: "So, are you actually going to wear it?"

Blake: "Wear wha—oh, maybe."

She stopped spinning it and was now thumbing the cat shaped plate. It didn't really matter if she wore it or not, it's hers now. I could feel Ruby still moving around in her sleep.

Stele: "Well you still have it, so that's something. So, kitty you ready for the Vyt—"

Ruby: "Vytal Festival! I'm late!"

I raised my hand to stop in the incoming flailing of legs, but Weiss wasn't so lucky as I heard a smack, then another one right afterwards. It sounded like they hit each other, but I didn't see and Ruby immediately burst to petals to the bathroom.

Weiss: "What was Ruby do—"

Again, a burst of petals making its way out of the bathroom and out the window? I guess where she needed to go was really important if she needed to go through the window. And of course Yang only wakes up after it all happened. She sat up just in time to see the stream of petals slowly dissipate out the window.

Yang: "Was...was that Ruby going out the window?"

Stele: "Yep, said something about being late. And before you ask something dumb, no I did not throw her out."

She just laid back down with a huff.

Yang: "Oh, don't worry about her. She just...needs to see somebody. She'll be back before our match. There's nothing to worry about."

Stele: "I wasn't."

Weiss: "But I want to know why she was seemingly asleep on our barrier!"

That got her up again...

Yang: "She was what?!"

I think I saw her eyes flash red for a moment, scary.

Stele: "She just fell from her bunk chasing a cookie."

Blake: "Strawberry cookie actually."

So I guess hearing from anyone but me was good enough as she laid down. I don't understand how Ruby can just leave now of all time.

Stele: "So you aren't worried at all that she left? Shouldn't you all be thinking of a plan or something?"

Yang: "She just went to...visit someone. She'll be back before the match."
