Child of a WhiteRose

Chapter 6-An old problem

(Half an hour later, Ruby's pov)
When I woke up from my little nap I saw an atlesian medical officer taking care of my wound. He then turns and calls over someone "General she's awake!" "Right in my ear, thanks" I say sarcastically glaring at the medic who quickly scurries off before Winter rushes over and kneels in front of me "Ruby are you okay!" she says worriedly. I look at her with a smile "Hey sis when did you get here" I say, ‘Well right now I sound kind of drunk which I assume is from the blood loss and my head feels kind of light’. Winter looks at me confused before shaking her head and chuckling "I got here a few minutes ago but it looks like you had quite the party".

She of course is referring to my epic victory against Raven which I smile smugly as I see her being taken to another transport "Next time you think about hurting my family, remember me kicking your feathery ass!" I shout at her which was a bad idea because it shot pain through my side, Raven turns to me and glares daggers as she’s shoved into the transport. I then look back at Winter who was holding my hand "Uh Winter I love you and all but I’m-" before I finish my sentence I feel a surge of pain go through my body as the medic's remove a blade piece from my wound "It’s okay sister, I'm right here" Winter says trying to calm me

(Timeskip)

After a few stitches and relaxing words from Winter I was back on her personal transport heading to Atlas for a few tests while getting a blood transfusion "I feel so much better, um quick question how did you know my blood type?" I asked Winter who was sitting across from me "I called Weiss and told her you were fine a thousand times" we chuckled at her comment before Winter talks again "Coffee?" she asks standing up "Actually right now I wouldn't mind something stronger" I say as she reaches the bar ‘I know I shouldn't be drinking alcohol at the moment but you fight a bandit leader and tell me you wouldn't drink alcohol afterwards’.

A moment later she sits back down and hands me the drink, Winter raises her own for a toast "Congratulations Mrs Rose you have single handedly defeated the leader of the Branwen tribe, what will you do next?" Winter says I chuckle as I take a sip from my drink but the last part stuck in my head. She obviously meant it as a joke but I decided to answer the question "I'm actually thinking about retirement" I say looking down and then look back up at Winter who had a shocked expression on her face ‘that's new, Winter Schnee shocked, is it wrong that I’m proud of myself now?’.

We both sat there for a while before she spoke "Retirement? But sis I thought this was something you always wanted to do?" I look at my drink for a moment thinking about how to answer her question "That never changed but lately I've been thinking have I done what I needed to do, I went to Beacon, became a huntress, defeated Salem, married the woman I love and had a child, my story's done, this just adds to it, maybe I should let the next generation have theirs" Winter stares at me for a moment but smiles. Before she has the chance to say anything she gets a call on her scroll, when she answers it her smile leaves and is replaced by a look of fear "What!"

(A few hours later, Beacon academy, Jasmine's pov)

I sat in the cafeteria eating pancakes and drinking orange juice ‘Because I can’t stomach the coffee here’. As I was finishing a bite, Rouge came running up to me "Jas!, Jas!" I look up at her with an annoyed expression "What is it you twat, I'm trying-" before I could finish she moves my tray away and places her scroll in front of me. I look at the screen and see it was a news broadcast "Really the news? Seen it" I say while trying to grab my tray to finish my breakfast but Rouge pushes it away again "Just watch" the twat says pointing at the screen ‘I might as well or I might never get to finish my pancakes’.

I roll my eyes at her before looking back at the screen "Thanks Syril, last night legendary huntress Ruby Rose single handedly took down the leader of the Branwen tribe, the five kingdoms will award Mrs Rose and her family at a ceremony held in Vale later in the week" my eyes go wide at the report and Rouge wraps her arm around my neck "Look at that! Your mother took down Raven Branwen" the twat says smiling but before I could say anything the broadcast continues "In other news it is a sad day for members of the schnee family because last night Whitley schnee was murdered at S.D.C headquarters".

After hearing those words I drop the scroll and cover my face with my hands as I begin to cry with Rouge trying to comfort me. I tried to say something but it turned into random mumbles in my sobs. After a few minutes Violet and Kelp come into the cafeteria they run over to us once they notice me crying and Rouge explains what had happened. When she finishes talking Violet comes over to me and hugs me but the moment is short lived when Professor Port and Goodwitch along with Dr Oobleck walk up to us "I’m very sorry for your lose Miss Rose but I'm going to have to ask you and your team to follow us back to your dorm" Professor Goodwitch says,Rouge looks at her weirdly before standing up “Mom, What's going on?” Rouge asks her mother “Now's not the time for that so will you please follow us back to your dorm” Professor Goodwitch replied.

At this point we didn't have a choice but to comply, a few minutes later we were back in our dorm "Well look on the bright side at least we don't have to go to class" Kelp says trying to lighten the mood in the room. I let out a slight chuckle while Violet just looks pissed "I don't get it!" she says standing up "The joke or the situation?" Rouge says, turning in her desk chair. Violet glares at her before talking again "Jasmine's uncle gets murdered and we get locked in our room". Right then I realized what they were doing "I know why they locked us up!" I shouted, alerting everyone.

They turn to me as I answer "Whomever killed Uncle Whitley must me going after my family" Kelp looks at me confused "Then why did they lock us up?" she says "Because my parents knew I would go out there and try to stop them and you guys would follow me" I say trying to get her to understand which luckily she did "But getting locked up isn't going to stop us is it?" Rouge says with a grin which I return while answering "Nope, so team JVRK grab your gear, at midnight we're breaking out" they nod in agreement and go grab their gear.
