Ruby's Pov

(2 Months after Ruby confessed)

Ever since I comeback, Roman has been trying to stop being the bad guy. "Hey Ruby are you really dating Torchwick" Blake asked. "Why do you ask" I asked. "Oh I don't know maybe the fact that he's a criminal and your a hunteress" Blake shouted. "Excuse me. He's trying" I said. "That's not my point. You don't know what he has done" She said. "That's not for me to know. He can tell me if he wants to. If he doesn't want to tell me I'm ok with that" I said. "Since you are dating doesn't it bother you that he's been missing for 2 days" she asked. "More than ever" I said. "If you care so much go look for him" Blake suggested. "I will" I said as I stood up from my bed. "Don't forget Crescent Rose and your scroll this time" She said. "I got it" I said as I grabbed my weapon and scroll and left. I went to the courtyard to say my goodbyes. "Yang. Wiess." I said as I ran to my teammates. "What's up" Yang said. "Is something wrong" Wiess said. "Nothing is wrong. I'm going to find Torchwick" I said. "Not without us your not" Yang said. "I'm going alone. I can take care of myself" I said as I started to walk away. "Wait. Just take one of us with you. Just so we know your ok" Yang said. "Fine. Ill take Blake with me" I said. I then used my semblance to go back to the room. "Blake your coming with me" I said. "Ok" she said as she grabbed Gambol Shroud and her scroll then  we headed toward Mountain Glenn.

(20 minutes later)

It was still broad daylight when we got there. We walked for what felt like hours until the road cracked underneath my feet and my feet only. "Ruby" Blake shouted. "Contact Yang and tell her we need help" I said. The ground then broke underneath my feet. "Go get help" I said then hit the ground hard. I got up immediately after I hit the ground. I got Crescent Rose out and started to look around.

Blake's Pov

I need to get help I need to get help" I repeated to myself as I ran back to  beacon.

(20 minutes later)

Once I reached beacon I paused to take a breath. Instead of walking to the dorm I texted Yang. "Yang. Ruby's in trouble" I texted. "We'll be right down" she replied. They came down in 2 minutes later. "Follow me" I said.

(20 minutes later)

I ran to the hole where Ruby fell. "She's down here" I said. I paused to take a breath then when Yang and Wiess caught up we jumped down the hole.

Ruby's Pov

I searched for clues for what felt like an hour. "Ruby. Ruby where are you" Yang yelled. I ran towards the voice. "Where do you think you are going" a voice behind me said. I stopped and turned around. My teammates where now right behind me. "Emerald" Yang said. "Well it looks like we have four to deal with." Emerald said. 4 people then walked up behind her. "We got your back Emerald" Cinder said. "It looks like ruby fell for our little trap now didn't she" a voice said. "Wait a trap. What bait are you going to use to try to get me on your side this time" I said. "Well you know Torchwick. If you don't come back now he is going to die.... by you" the voice said. I step forward. "Ruby don't do it.a trick" Wiess yelled. "Who are you" I asked the new girl. "It doesn't matter who I am. If you really love him then you would do anything. Am I correct" the girl said. "Yes. You are correct" I said. "Bring him in" cinder said. Emerald and Mercury then dragged a helpless Roman out. "So Ruby are we going to do this the easy way or the painful way" Cinder said. Blake stepped forward. "The painful way" she said. "Your team has spoken. Lets begin" cinder said. She then nodded. We all got our weapons out. I looked at Roman. "I'll get you out. I promise" I whispered to myself. Cinder then motioned the new girl to Roman. "Don't let him move" Cinder said. "Got it" she said. Then Cinder, Adam, Neo, Emerald, and Mercury charged at us. Neo went for me and my god is she strong. She dodged every one of my attacks and caught me off guard again. When she did she used her umbrella to disarm me. I knew I had lost this fight, if it wasn't for Wiess who won the fight between me herself and Neo. I grabbed Crescent Rose and charged at Mercury. Right away I won the fight. "2 down 3 to go" Yang said them charged at Cinder. "Yang wait" I yelled. I then quickly followed. By the time I got out of the fight I could barely stand. "Ruby" Wiess yelled then charged at me. I turned around to see Neo back to her feet. "I-I can't do this anymore" I said then fell to my knees. I looked at Roman who seemed to be quite shocked. "I-I am so sorry. I failed" I said. "Ruby. Ruby are you ok did she hurt you" Yang said. "Only a little bit" I said. Yang's eyes then turned red. "You. YOU MONSTER. YOU DONT HURT MY LITTLE SISTER AND GET AWAY WITH IT" she yelled. She then charged at Neo. In a few seconds Neo was knocked out. I then seen cinder nod at the new girl. She then got out her sword. I stood up. When I seen the slightest move of her hand I used my semblance to block the hit. "Ruby" I heard Blake and Yang yell. I knew I was going to get stabbed somehow. I looked at Roman who I was in front of. She removed her sword and backed away. I then fell to my knees. "If I told you that I came all this way to find you, would you think I'm crazy" I said. "Yes. But that's what I love about you. Always putting your loved ones first" he said. I hugged him then started to cry. "You don't know how worried I was about you" I said. "I'm pretty sure I got the idea" said a voice behind me. They lifted me up and threw me against the nearest wall. "Why me" I said as i looked at the man who threw me. "If you don't know at this point then you don't deserve to live" he said as he got his sword out. Blake then rushed over. "Adam no" she yelled as she caught his hand in the motion of stabbing me. He put his sword away then looked at Blake. "I missed you my darling" he said walking towards her. I grabbed Crescent Rose and our it on to sythe mode to prop myself up. I looked at my defeated teammates and used my aura to heal my wounds. After my aura healed my wounds I charged at Cinder who had 3 people by her side. I went after Neo and successfully taking her out along with Mercury. Emerald then went after me. She disarmed me and threw me to the ground. "Did you really think you would successfully save Roman" cinder said as she motioned the new girl towards me. She then kicked me against the nearest wall. I fell to my stomach. She then kicked me to my back. Cinder then walked toward Roman making sure he didn't try to sacrifice himself for me. Yang then woke up. The girl then used her foot to cover my mouth and nose. In seconds I passed out.

Yang's Pov

When I woke up I seen Ruby being kicked by the new girl. When I saw Ruby pass out I quickly activated my semblance. I then took out Emerald Neo Mercury and the new girl. "Its your turn" I said walking towards cinder. "Not today Yang" cinder said. We fought for what felt like an hour. I then disarmed her and kicked her to the ground. "I can be a bad ass when I want to" I said then knocked her out. I walked towards Ruby who was now awake.

Blake's Pov

"What do you want Adam" I said. "Isn't it obvious. I want you Blake. That's all I want" he said. He then pushed me against a wall. "If this is your attempt to get me to re join The White Fang its not going to work" I said. He then hit me. "You idiot. I don't care about that right now. I said I want you my darling" he said. "I don't want you" I said. "That's a shame. So who should I kill first. What about the blonde" he said. "Fine I'll re join as long as you leave my team alone. Do we have a deal" I said. "Deal" he said.

Ruby's Pov

When I woke up I seen Yang. "We won" she said. I seen Cinder wake up. I stood up and charged at her. "Red no. Don't. I can't lose you" Roman said. I stopped. "Ruby. What are you doing" Wiess said as she woke up. "I'm sorry but this has to happen" I said as I continued to charge at Cinder. I striked first only to get blocked. "Do you have a death wish or something" Cinder said. "No honestly I just want to go home and go to sleep" I said attacking again. This time she kicked Crescent Rose out of my hands. Wiess then got up and started to fight. She was easily disarmed. Yang then stepped in. While they were fighting I went over to where Roman was the whole time. "Are you alright" I asked. "I should be asking you that" he said. "I'll be fine" I said. "Are you sure your ok" he asked. "Yes. I should probably go help Yang" I said. "Wait" he said. "What is it" I said. "I love you. Be safe out there" he said. "I love you too and I will" I said as I grabbed Crescent Rose. I then continued to help.

(1 hour later)

I was so tired that I couldn't see straight. Neo had woke up and pretty much tortured Roman by continuously stabbing and cutting me. I finally gave out and passed out. She woke me up by stabbing me then walked over to Roman and stabbed him. I put Crescent Rose away and started punching and kicking. When I kicked Neo she easily grabbed and twisted my leg flipping me to my back. Roman then started to fight. He easily disarmed neo then kicked her into Cinder. Yang then activated her semblance and knocked Neo out again. Cinder came after me only trying to knock me out. Wiess helped Yang, Roman, and I fight Cinder. "Are you sure you want to continue Red" Roman asked. "Yes. I need to get you out of here" I said  Blake then walked up behind me and punched me in the face. "Owww. What the hell Blake" I yelled. "I'm not on your side anymore" she said. I then started to fight her which was a big mistake. Adam then joined the fight between Blake and I. "I'm screwed" I said. "You got that right" he said. I felt a tap on my shoulder. Blake then cut me and kicked me against a wall. "Do you give up yet" Blake said Covering my mouth and nose with her foot. She then stabbed me continuously until Roman kicked her in the face. "You alright" he said. "No. Besides the fact that my former teammate just stabbed me my auras failing" I said. "That's not good" he said. I used Crescent Rose to prop my self up.

(1 hour later)

They were still fighting Cinder, Adam, Blake, And Neo. I sat in a corner waiting for the fight to be over. Some times they attacked me.

(2 hours later)

I was fast asleep when I felt someone pick me up. I opened my eyes for a second to see a Roman had picked me up and started to carry me home. "Did we win" I asked. "Yes. We won" he said

(20 minutes later)

I when we got to the dorm Roman laid me down in my bed then he started walking to the door. "Wait" I said. "What is it Red" he said. "Please stay with me tonight" I asked. "Ok I will" he said as he sat down on the bed. I scooted over and then we cuddled. "I love you Roman" I said. "I love you too Red" he said then he kissed my forehead.
