Taking chances

Chapter 1

Ruby's pov

Past

"I'm sorry to tell you this...but..." I looked into Uncle Qurow's eyes as he was telling me and Yang the news about my mother. He had a sad look in his eyes as he continued. "...Ruby, she didn't make it. There were too many of them, and she couldn't handle them..." I watched as a tear rolled down his cheek.

I looked over at Yang to see if he was playing with me...but...he wasn't. She caught me before I fell to the ground, screaming and crying. She handed me a red cloak.

"It was hers. She wanted me to give it to you for your birthday...but it seems you need it now" I continued to cry as I took the red cloak and put it around me.

It was big for my size but I wasn't complaining. All I wanted was to hold my mother one last time. Tell her how much I loved her one last time. See her once last time.

Present

I sat waiting in the car. Yang was in the front seat with her black and yellow headphones on while I was in the back listening to dad talk on the phone.

"Yes...yes i know Qurow...no the one next to that one..." I roiled my eyes and looked out the window. There were so many trees covered with white snow.

I stared out the window for the remaining time in the car. When we arrived at our new house, I looked around and saw that there were a couple of houses around us with kids running around.

I heard the honking of a horn and looked to see Uncle Qrow pulling up on his grey colored motorcycle. I smiled and walked over to give him a hug.

"Hey uncle! Ya miss me?" I held onto his arm as he lifted me up. "Nope" he said with a smile. He ruffled my hair and put me down. "You kids need to stop growing!! Damn look at this one she's gotten tall Tai" he said patting my head.

We laughed and I noticed that Yang wasn't outside. "Hey where did she go?" dad sighed and pointed back to the house. "She's still pissed about moving. I think she's going back to her old ways"

We all stood there for I moment, remembering what happened a couple years back. "Anyways...let's get inside the snow is falling harder" dad said as he and Qurow walked inside.

I grabbed my bag from the car and went inside. It was empty, aside from the picture frames and little furniture. I walked around and ended up at the stairs.

I slowly walked up them and made a left, finding the restroom. I continued walking until I found a room with a note on the door that said, "Yang's room fuck off" I shook my head and walked to the end of the hall to an unknown room.

I opened the door and saw that there was a bed with red bed sheets and black pillows along with dark red curtains and a small black desk. I walked over to the desk and saw a picture of our family. Well...before everything went bad.

I sighed and set my bag down next to the desk, walking over to my bed. I layed down facing the ceiling and sighed.

My name is Ruby Rose. I'm 15 years old but in the same grade as my sister. Let's just hope she doesn't go back to her old ways.
