(Ruby's POV)
I see a large rock ahead of me and sit beside it, holding my knees close to my head. Tears still streaming down my cheeks, I hear a rustle behind me. I gasp.
"Hello..?" I ask, almost whispering.
"Hello Ruby," I hear a female voice
say. I look around, but see no-one."Who are you?" I ask, fearfully.
"I'm no enemy, I'm friendly, " She said, coming out from her hiding spot. I stare at her.
"P.. Penny..?" I immediately collapse out of shock. My eyes widen immediately and I stare at her.
"Salutations!" She says, raising her hand and smiling.
"Penny.." I run up to her and hug her tightly, "I missed you.." She said, hugging me back, "very much," Her grip tighten and I felt uneasy.
"A prince shouldn't leave her maiden alone.." She said In a deep voice. I let go of her and backed away.
"Penny? What's wrong?" I ask, wiping my eyes.
"Oh nothing's wrong," She twitched as her voice glitched. I backed away as I saw her transform into something else; A large, black, deformed creature. It was a grimm!
I screamed.
(Jaune's POV)
"YOU LEAVE HER ALONE!" I scream. Suddenly, I hear a scream coming from behind me and my eyes widen.
"RUBY!" I holler. Throwing my myself off of the stranger, I sprint towards the scream.
"JAUNE! PLEASE.. HELP!" I hear. Turning a corner, I see Ruby trying to push a grimm off of her. I charge towards and tackle it to the ground. I begin punching and punching until I hear it whimper. I jump off of it and let it loose. It runs and I fall on my back, out of breath.
"Jaune.. i'm so sorry.. " Ruby cries, holding me. I look up at her and smile.
"You don't need to apologize," I say, caressing her cheek with my hand. My cheeks begin burning after I realize what I've been doing. I swipe my hand away and sit up quickly.
"Ruby, you need to warn Ren and Nora. Tell them we've canceled the date," I inform.
"And leave you alone here?" She looks up at me. I sigh.
"Yes, now hurry please," I say. She runs off and I follow her until I reach the stranger who's laying on the ground. I walk over to him and lift him up with his shirt.
"Don't touch Ruby, got it?" I say, glaring at him. He nods. I look away and sigh. After building up my strength, I turn around and punch the guy with all of my strength. I hear a loud thud and he falls to the ground.
