What if I told you..?

Chapter 4

       "I can't believe it. She killed two people. And is fighting a third!" I watch as Ruby jumps and narrowly avoids a kunai knife that flies at her. She throws a mini knife in return. "Damn. Stop moving!" She shouts. I can see the sweat practically dripping off of her. That is when Ruby gets hit. Blood spurts out of her shoulder. And she disappears. I mean literally. Gone. In her place was a cloud of rose petals. "Now I've got you!" Ruby shouts.

       I hear a choked cry come from the distance and a boy shoots out of a tree, landing flat on his back. Ruby appears over him. "Please!" He shouts. "Please don't kill me!"

       "I want you to beg." She says and accentuates her words by stabbing him in the same part of the shoulder she was hit in. "Beg you worthless piece of shit. Give me one good reason that I shouldn't kill you!"

       "Please have mercy. I'm begging you! It wasn't my idea! I was acting on orders! I had no choice." Ruby leans down and whispers something in his ear. "Oh God don't do that! Kill me instead. Anything but that!"

        "No. you will meet him." She turns to me. "Ok, Weiss. Let's go." She says as she twirls one of the guys Kunai around her finger. "Oh and by the way." She says over her shoulders.
She spins around and throws the knife, and it sticks out of his eye. " I lied." And I shivered.  Visibly shivered. "Are you okay Weiss?"

        "No I'm not okay! I just watched you kill two people. And you said you killed one other one. I'm partnered with a killer." I said. Absolutely mortified.

        Ruby sighed and looked around. Seeming satisfied she leans in close. "Weiss, what I'm about to tell you is absolutely top secret. It stays right here. Can you promise me this?" I look at her. "Promise me Weiss."

        "I promise." I didn't even need to think about it.

        "Okay, I'll tell you."

Five years ago. Ruby's past.

       I stood, shaking in a field soaked in blood. Some mine, mostly others. I held my knife. My beautiful Dark Cleaver. My cloak is wrapped around me. "These people deserved it. They killed my mother."

       As that thought crosses my mind more people surround me. They are in the same uniforms as the people I just dealt with. Black pants and a white vest that goes over nothing but their toned Faunus bodies. On the back of the vests was a red wolf's head that had three red lines, as though they were slash marks, through the head.

        I ready my weapon and jump forward. The first one swings a katana at me but I block it with my knife and repel the blade and kick him flat in the chest. I jump on his form and stab him. I stab him four times. Then jump backwards as another blade takes the spot on his body where I used to be. After a good ten minutes of hacking and slashing and stabbing, I once again stand alone. It took two years to find them.

       That's when I'm approached by a new face. "Well well miss Rose. I am quite impressed with how you found them. You show great promise. I would like to train you to become a detective. Would you like that?"

        "It's not like I have anything better to do." And just like that I began 5 years of training. At the end of those years, the day before I was to go to Beacon I was sworn into the Vale police department as a detective.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        "That's why I had no hesitation killing them." Ruby says to me. "I knew that they were only here to aid a suspected criminal in spying on Beacon. The main reason I'm telling you this is because even though I am not sure that I can trust you, I barely know you, and just like I am with most people I don't particularly like you. I see promise. I need a partner. But there are things that you will do that you will regret. I can promise you that. I will teach you all that you need to know and if you decide to stay my partner I will teach you more. But if you want to back out, now is your last chance."

       I can't believe this. Ruby is a detective. And she wants me to help. I already knew that I wanted to follow her to the end of the earth but like this? Oh well, can't be helped. "Yes Ruby. I'll help you. But under one condition. We stay partners for Beacon as well. To be honest, you were the only one I wanted to be partners with anyway. I know I said this once already but I really do like you, a lot. And I-" I got cut off by the back of Ruby's hand.

       "Now don't get me twisted. I just told you I don't like anyone. Plus, I kinda already have someone. So this won't work. He's an undercover operative. Can't wait for you to meet him. Now stand up, let's go." And just like that we were partners. And on our way to the relics. Partners and detectives. This is terrifying.

       "Well that's an interesting bit. I knew she was a detective when we accepted her. But I didn't know she would poach another student." Ozpin says to me. "What do you think Glynda?"

       "Personally I think you should never have let her into the school. She must be a prodigy if she became a deceive at the age of fifteen."

       "Actually she is sixteen. Her birthday was two days ago." He said. "But enough of that. I am curious to see how this develops."
