Ruby POV

When I was a kid before my mom died she used to read me all kinds of stories. About hero's saving the kingdom. Or fairy tales like Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty. But my favourite kind of story is the one where a knight in shining white armour comes to save the princess. Those kinds of stories made me wish I could meet my very own knight. And have them come save me on some epic quest. So I remember asking my mom this.
"Mom," a little Ruby said looking up from her bed to her mother as she puts the book she had just finished reading to Ruby down
"What is it my little red don't tell me I have to read another bedtime story," the women said it with a half-smile on her face
"No, that's not it I wanted to ask you something," Ruby says as she stragglers to reach the book her mother put on Ruby's bookshelf beside the bed holding it up to her mothers face after getting it
"About the book then?" She says looking almost intrigued hearing her mother say this Ruby gives a nod "What is it my dear"
"the knight in the story after he finds out about the kidnapped princess  he goes to save her from the bad guys and when he does the princess and the knight live happily ever after right"
"Yes dear is there something wrong with that," the mother says this filled with curiosity
"No it's just is that how you and dad met. Cause I hope I meet my knight like that too.
The woman looked shocked at first from her little girls question. Then shock turned to a light smile.
"I'm sorry to disappoint dear but your dad isn't the knight kind of guy."
Ruby looked confused at her answer if not a little sad "so daddy's a bad guy" the young girl asks on the verge of tears. Releasing her mistake the mother tries to prevent her child from crying her eyes out. "Oh no, sweetie that's not what I met at all. Your father was and to this very day the kindest man I have ever met. It's just he's not knighted material."
"If he's not a bad guy then why is he not a knight?" She says this wiping the almost crying eyes with her bedsheet.
The mother looks down at her daughter wanting to change the subject. But seeing her look up at her with those curious silver eyes makes her change her mind. "You're dad was more of a superhero then a Knight. The knight in the story went off on a quest to save a very important person to him right. And after he did the knight and his important girl spent the rest of their life together. Your dad wouldn't stop at just one saved life even if it was his important girl. He would want to save as much as possible."
Ruby seemed confused at what her mother had said. To her it sounded like her dad was awesome so why isn't he a knight. But as she thought thus her mother continued.
"Ruby trust me when I say I love your dad but instead of a knight he's OUR hero," she said this almost looking sad and disappointed like she didn't like our part of hero. But Ruby wouldn't understand why her mother had looked so sad until years later. "Ruby I know you want to meet a knight of you're own. To have a happy fairytale-like life with him. But listen to me when I say we don't choose who we fall in love with it just happens. But when it does the world around you will look completely different. So just don't expect you're love to be a knight it could be anybody." She said this expecting ruby to start crying. But what she did the opposite.
"No the one I spend my life with will be a knight you'll see." She says this with a big smile.
Striking to her guns she says this "fine ruby how about we make a little bet if you do fall for your knight you win. But if you fall for someone else I win how does that sound." Ruby takes a couple of seconds to think "what do I get if I win." The young girl asks.
"Hmmm I know if you win then I promise to have BOOM cookies everywhere. But if you lose you have to make me cookies sound like a deal." The young girl looked so exited to hear what she would get if she won she said "deal" immediately with hope to find her knight as soon as posable. "Then it's settled but before that, I think it's time for bed little red." The mother said tired herself "would you like for me to sleep with you." Ruby said yes.
"I love you, mom, good night oh and ammm." Ruby started to say only to stop halfway.
"What is it honey you can tell me."
"Ammm it's just you know good luck on your mission tomorrow."
"Ah was that all thank you ruby" Ruby's mother said as she kissed her on the cheek. Then she got in her bed to go to bed luckily it was big enough for two. The mother warped her arm around ruby in a hug. Now in each other's arms, she says. "Ruby I love you and yang of course more than anything in this world. And you make every single day worth living."
Ruby didn't say anything more she just noded face completely red with embarrassment. After she said this they both fell asleep.
"Sadly that was the last time I would get to sleep with my mother. The mission the next day was the one she died on.  It was supposed to be just a normal day. We got up had breakfast talked laughed and said we have a good day. But it was anything but a good day." I put my pencil down grab the paper I was writing on and rip it to shreds. Over the garbage ban. "I can't write ozpin this and say hope I can go visit my mother's grave. So I can tell her told you so. Hmmm, I got to think of something better than this but what. Ahhh I got the perfect plan.
