Mistakes Of The Past

Secret's Revealed

'' Uncle Qrow ? I think you might have had a bit too much to drink tonight '' Ruby said as her uncle stumbled around the living room a bit before falling back onto the couch laughing his head off . He had been up on the roof drinking , again , and had finally come down after several hours of sitting at the bottle .

'' Okay now Summer , I think you need to relax a little '' Qrow said , slurring his words as he looked at who he thought to be his lover . Summer , the girl of his dreams , sitting right next to him like nothing had ever happened , nothing at all .

Ruby on the other hand knew what was going on . She felt a small pang of sadness in her chest as she realized that Qrow was mistaking her for her own mother , '' Qrow . I'm Ruby , Summer is my mom '' . 

Still looking at her grinning , not realizing his illusion is unreal , '' Didn't I say relax Summer ? Gosh you used to love nights with your shitty little love bird '' he says and then starts laughing as hard as possible . 

Ruby's eyes grow wide as she realizes what her uncle is trying to explain to her . Her uncle and her mother were in a relationship ? Did that mean that she was ? No ? Wait , it couldn't possibly be that . Was Qrow her ? Finally her thoughts formed into a singular word '' WHAT ? '' she suddenly shouts standing up abrubtly now looking at Qrow in utter shock of this new information . 

Qrow turned to look at her as the illusion started to fade . '' Oh shit Ruby , is that you ? '' he asked in a confused tone . 

Ruby stands still staring at him , refusing to answer the question . '' Were you and my mom ? '' she begins to say , but is unable to finish her sentance due to utter shock . 

Qrow looks at her relaizing his terrible mistake and the information he has just revealed to the shocked young girl stands up to look at Ruby who now has tears starting to form in her eyes in realization . 

'' Ruby I ... I can explain '' he says holding his hands up . But instead of doing just that , he bolts . Out the door and into the dark forest of night , leaving his daughter all alone once again .
