Queen Ruby

Chapter 37

It's been two weeks since the first meet up. I won't bore you with all the details of what happened since then, so here is a little summary:

-Penny and I have become friends

-Uncle Qrow still hates Guard

-Neo refuses to talk and Roman almost blew his cover because Cinder started flirting with him

-My team has been training the new recruits in hand to hand combat and basic weapon usage

-Team JNPR knows a bit more and are helping my team train the newbies

-Oz and Ironwood have been helping me sceem

-I went on a few missions to sharpen my skills

-I have talked to a few of the recruits personally

-We have new spies and moles everywhere

-We started building a base near the temple with a med bay and all that good stuff

-Things are going according to plan

-Our numbers have risen to a few hundred

-I can't wait to introduce myself to the circle tomorrow

Aaaand that sums it all up. Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something? Hmm. Oh right!

We are only two months away from starting a war. I almost forgot about that. It's one of the few things I am not excited about.

Guard is training me harder than ever. I'm pretty sure I should be able to achieve the level my mother was at before the war begins, but it's hard. I spent so many all-nighters strategizing with Oz, Ironwood and Yang. Our plan isn't simple. It was at first but became, like all good plans, very complex, very quickly.

"Ruby!" I hear Weiss call out to me, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Wha-" My answer is cut off abruptly as my face smashes into a lantern and I fall on my butt.

"That." I turn to Weiss with an apologetic smile. " You klutz! That's the fifth time this week and it's only Tuesday!"

I stand up and keep walking next to my team. Weiss rolls her eyes and turns her attention to our friends. We are on our way to the movies with team JNPR.

"So what movie are we going to watch?" Nora asks jumping up and down.

"How about the huntsman rises?" Jaune suggests.

"Or we could watch love more then likely?" Pyrrha suggests blushing slightly as she leans in Jaune's direction.

I tune everyone out again. My mind wanders back to Guard. I wonder how he's doing. Things have been a bit awkward since we kinda kissed...

My face turns red. Could we actually be a thing one day? Does he even feel the same way I do? Is-

And once again my thoughts are interrupted.

"Hey, Sis! What are you thinking about? A boy?"

"Wha- No! I... was thinking about phase 3 of our plan. You know, since we still aren't finished with it." I lie.

Yang raises an eyebrow.

"And you were blushing like mad because...?"

"I was not blushing!"

"Let me guess, you were thinking about that Guard of yours?" Nora interjects. "Since you two are in love and all."

"There is nothing going on between the two of us!" I yell. (Team JNPR don't know he's Torchwick )

"Ruby! Is something going on between you and him? I swear to god I'll kill him if he even looked at you weird!" Yangs eyes turn slightly red and I can tell from the looks on my teams faves she's not the only one who would like him dead. I compose myself before replying.

"Nothing is going on." I sigh.
