Weiss

I woke up with a pinch like pain in my neck. I was in my bed. I looked around this room, seeing Blake and Yang still sleeping. I looked up, seeing Ruby's bed empty. I remembered her waking me up last night and we talked in the hallway. Right before I black out, she said she loved made.

Did she knock me out? Why would she do that?

"GUYS!!! WAKE UP!!!" I shouted, making them jump up.

"What? What is it, Weiss?" Yang asked sleepily.

"RUBY IS MISSING!!!"

"WHAT?!"

Yang actually fell out of her top bunk and hit the floor. We immediately got dressed and started searching. We went down the hall and banged on team JNPR's door."What is wrong with you?! You know what time it is?" Jaune asked when he opened the door.

"We need your help looking for Ruby!" I panicked. They got dressed and we searched the entire school.

Ruby, where could you be?

Ruby

"Here, drink this." Cinder handed me a glass with a blue liquid in it.

"How do I know you aren't trying to poison me?" I ask.

"If I wanted you dead, I would've done it by now. Obviously, I'm not trying to kill you. I'm helping you because I want something in return." Cinder smirks.

"At least you're honest." I shrugged. I drank the substance and felt a tingly in my stomach."It might make you feel a bit drowsy. You might even fall asleep. But it'll do its work, removing any foreign matter from your blood system." She explained.

When I drank it, it got a tingly feeling all over, like something was crawling on me. I shivered and my body shook. I could feel something happening."C-Cinder.....why exactly....are you h-helping me...?" I ask as I struggle to keep my eyes open. But I didnt hear her answer.  Everything went black.

"Ruby!!!" Yang shouted as we walked the streets of Vale in search of our leader. She yelled loud as she could but we still got no answer.

"Ruby, Ruby, Ruby!!!!" Nora yelled. People looked at us like weirdos and even moved their children away from us. Blake must've noticed how upset I was because she put her hand on my shoulder."We'll find her, Weiss. I know we will. Dont give up hope." She said with a small smile.

Sadly, the little hope I had left was slipping away. We had been searching for five hours and have found absolutely nothing. Its like Ruby no longer exists. A tear ran down my face and I sobbed quietly.

"Hey, what's that?!" Ren gasped. He pointed down the street and saw a red cloth flowing in the wind. We ran toward it and found Ruby's notoriously red hood. But not attached to Ruby."This his bad. Ruby never takes off her hood. She must be in serious trouble." Yang assumed.

"Or maybe...you're the one who's in trouble." Said the remarkable voice of the hood wearing girl. The girls looked up, seeing her standing on the roof of the building, looking down at them with emotionless eyes. She dropped down with her scythe ready to slice Blake, but the girls stepped back.
