Ruby POV

I yawn a little as I wake up in my bed, the swaying of the ropes and slight creak of my mattress echoing in my ear. My groggy morning brain soon clears, remembering where I am again. Yep! Still at Beacon! I still can't believe it sometimes. I mean, I made it into Beacon!!! I'm still so excited! Even if Weiss was a little mean at first. But we're besties now, so ha! Take that Meanie Weiss! Uh...Meiss! Greiss? ...I'm still gonna workshop that one.

Anyways, as I stretch, I take a look around the dorm room. Yang was snoring loudly, but was covered by a convenient pillow. Blake was sleeping the most quiet, but the 2nd most messily. And Weiss was all tucked in like a pretty princess or something. Perfect! That gives me enough privacy to silently pray to my God, who I still haven't told anyone about. Most people wouldn't expect me to be religious in any way, but I don't have these silver crosses for nothin'! I clasp my hands and start praying for about a minute or less. "May your Darkness shed light on my path ahead, O' Savant of the Void. May another moon set upon Remnant and bring us prosperity."

Man, that's so cool to say!

Anyhow, I get out of bed and take a quick shower. As I shower, I think on all the things that've happened leading up to now. Mom's passing, getting taught sick scythe skills by my uncle, meeting my God, getting into Beacon. It's all so surreal at times...I hope these days last forever.

 I get out of the shower to brush my teeth and get dressed. As I finish drying my hair (it takes FOREVER for NO reason), I hear one of my teammates knocking on the bathroom door. I open it to see Blake. We don't talk much, with her being rather quiet, but she's still a pretty good friend! And she likes books! If only she liked people as much as a story.

Me: "Hi Blake!"
(A/N: Yeah, I'm using this style. It's less confusing for me this way.)

Blake: "Morning, Ruby. You using the shower still?"

Me: "Just dryin' my hair! It's all yours!"

I let her in so she can wash up. I walk out of the bathroom so she can do her business and I go over our schedule today. First class today is...!

... Professor Port...dangit.

??? POV

This girl... Hell's sake, she's such a child. Calling me her "God" still, even after all these years. Then again... I'm not too far from that at this point. After all...

I am The Beholder of Void.

While my powers may remain neutral, my alignment in terms of mortal standards...are the very definition of evil. At least, they were. Or maybe they still kinda are. Then, this adorable child, Ruby Rose, was nearly killed by Grimm when her sister decided to be a selfish, impudent brat.

Ever since the silver-eyed girl woke up, she's been my entire life.

Now, my only goal is to make sure she doesn't suffer at the hands of that False Goddess or the Soul Wizard. She is my everything, and absolutely nothing shall take her away from me. Not Salem, not Ozma, not even my brothers.

Back in Ruby's POV

After going through a few classes, it's time for lunch! This is usually when we talk to another team, JNPR! They usually have something interesting to say or laugh at, and they're great company! More friends for the Besties Book I totally don't keep hidden in my locker.

As I sit down and chow down on my delicious cookies, I notice them staring at me. Even Weiss' glare was more curious than annoyed this time.

Me: "Uh...are you guys okay? The stares are freakin' me out.."
