chapter 2: Question, feelings, meeting

  When Ruby started mashing her contacts list, she didn't care who got selected. She was panicking, confused, and just a blur of emotions and questions. She ended up calling Blake, who wasn't too keen on being interrupted from her reading (the fact that she sounded to be trying to gently catch her breath didn't leave too much to the imagination of her current state). However, she quickly took notice when Ruby begged for Blake's help getting back to Beacon. Ruby waited roughly 10 minutes until a Bullhead came to her location, and was surprised when it wasn't Blake who met her, but Obsi (ob-sss-eye).

  Obsi Dan was a first-year at Beacon, and also the only student of Beacon without a team. He'd came into Beacon a couple months into the first semester, and was placed as a solo team. At first, he'd been a loner, and didn't spend much time with others or talked. Blake had actually been the one who suggested that team RWBY spend some time with him, and break his shell. Weiss didn't much care for it, but Ruby and Yang did. Little by little Obsi began to open up, and was often regarded as RWBY's unofficial fifth member. He was often sent on missions with RWBY, sat next to them in any classes they had together, sat with them at lunch along with JNPR, though he still was mostly quiet. Never the less, Ruby was still happy to see someone she knew.

  She gathered Crescent Rose and folded her up before jumping into the Bullhead, and pulling Obsi into a tight hug. He returned the gesture after a moment of hesitation, and then pulled away to face Ruby.

"Obsi, what are you doing here? I called Blake to come and get me. Not that I'm complaining." Ruby said.

"I was on my way to the airships in order to head into Vale when Blake called me and said that you needed help. I quickly boarded a Bullhead and came here. What happened?"

"I... don't want to talk about it." Ruby replied, before heading to one of the seats and sitting down. Obsi told her that it was okay, and that if she needed someone to talk to, he'd listen, before sitting across from her.

  Ruby stayed up a little late that night pondering about the day's events. Why did the Alpha protect me? Why didn't it attack me after the other ran? Why did it even attack the other Grimm?  These thoughts, and many others, plagued her mind through the night and into the next day. It was actually starting to show, as her friends pointed out at lunch.

 "Ruby, what's wrong?"

  Ruby was pulled out of her thoughts by her sister, who had took notice of her stirring her tomato soup with her gaze fixed on her tray. Ruby looked up, and turned to face the others at the lunch table. Yang was right next to her with a face of worry, and Blake, along with Weiss, were leaning forward from their seats to see their leader. JNPR was across from RWBY, and they too were looking at her.  Even Nora, who usually spent lunch stuffing pancakes into her mouth and telling wacky dream stories, was looking at the red reaper with her own look of concern. Under the gaze of her sister, teammates, and friends, Ruby was a bit nervous. Not wanting to delve into her experience, Ruby took a page from one of Jaune's books. She put on a smile, and gave all of them a thumbs-up.

"Guys, nothing's wrong. I'm fine." Obsi arrived at the table,  and had heard the conversation at the table. He took a seat across from Ruby, and decided to join.

"Ruby, you didn't look fine when I picked you up from the forest yesterday. What happened before I got there?"

  While his helmet/mask combo prevented anyone from seeing his facial expression, Obsi's tone of voice expressed care and worry. Ruby frowned slightly at Obsi. She'd hoped he wouldn't have brought up the previous day's events. Now, the others were gonna ask-
