Hey guys, little bit of a sad announcement, I'm starting a project to improve this fic, and will probably be taking out some things out of the already implanted chapters. So you'll probably not be seeing this for a while :( But, at least I'll be doing Salem May Cry in the meanwhile! :) And while I'm improving RWBYOTR, enjoy this nice, actually good chapter!

Pyrrha POV

"How long has she been like this?" Ruby asked.

"Ever since he slipped into a coma," Jaune answered, "She's been sitting by him, either crying or on the verge of it."

Ruby had called Jaune after he had missed the last leader's meeting, and he had told her what was wrong. Her, Weiss, Blake and Yang had all been in their flat at the time, and all came to the hospital as fast as they could. Now we were being questioned on both Ren and Nora's condition.

"Anything else?" Yang asked.

"She's been feeling stressed and super depressed," I answered. I added, "And she hasn't been eating pancakes, talking about sloths, or singing 'I'm the queen of the castle' either!"

"Wow… that sounds terrible!" Weiss added. "She must be really worried about Ren."

"'Really' worried is an understatement," Jaune replied. "She straight up won't have a conversation with us. The only people she's talking to right now are the doctors."

I hadn't actually seen a Schnee show so much concern for another person, especially not a criminal like Nora. Well, there's a first time for everything, I guess.

"Well, Ren's gonna need catching up," Blake added.

"What do you mean?" Yang asked, perplexed.

"They announced the next Linkin Park album yesterday," She answered.

"…Oh. That makes sense."

Riiight. Linkin Park. The band who made Ren who he is today. He got his whole personality, even the pink streak in his hair out of their music. But he always turned into an absolute fanboy when a new album is announced. I mean, he would turn into a male Nora whenever it happened, except for the fact it was specifically towards Linkin Park. I would kind of miss that during his coma.

"Wait… guys, may I be excused?" Weiss asked. "I'm getting a call."

"Sure," I answered. "Who is it?"

"It's my father," she answered.

"Oh. Well then, call away!"

"Thank you!"

She walked a little distance, then got out her phone. I turned back towards our little group, who were looking after her, with caring looks in their eyes.

"I hope she's okay," Ruby stated. "So, anyway…"

Weiss POV

I pulled out my phone and hit "answer". I then put the phone to my ear, getting ready for my father's loud yelling.

"H-hello?" I asked, wondering what he wanted to talk to me about.

"Girl, where the hell have you been!?" My father yelled through the phone. "I've been looking all over for you!"

"Father, I - wait, you have?"

"Of course I have! In what situation wouldn't I be!?"

I had no answer to that question. Usually my father only cared about business, or wealth, or politics, or the like. I never really knew he cared about family.

"Well, where are you!?"

"Look, father, I'm…" I took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of my nose. "I'm visiting a friend in the hospital."

"What? Who?"

"Well, he's asian, moody, athletic… and his name is Lie Ren."

"WHAT!? Your friend is a criminal!?"

I had forgotten. He had a database of every person living in Vale, and special tabs on who were caught as criminals. "What? No! It's… a different one."

"Good. I hoped you weren't becoming another one of them."

I sighed. I was. The people who had ripped apart my recent life, and I was becoming one of them. "Well, is that all you wanted?"

"Yes. I'll be sending a limo soon."

He hung up. I sighed. Penny didn't know about my friends yet, and I wasn't keen on introducing them. But, I knew that sooner or later, I would need to introduce Penny to the Beacon.

I walked back over to everyone else. "Hey, guys?" I said, getting their attention. "I need to go back home."

"Awww, why?" Ruby asked, extremely adorably.

[Ruby: Weiss, you're too kind! ^-^

Weiss: Sh-shut up…]

"Well, my father wants me home, and if I don't do as he wants, he goes into a frenzy," I explained to them.

"Oh… well, have fun!" Pyrrha cooed.

"Thank you."

Later

I checked my watch again. Penny was twenty minutes late! She was never late!

I was sitting in a bus stop next to the hospital, and waiting for Penny to show up. I had checked all my social media, my texts, emails, everything, and she was still not here yet. She better have a good excuse.

I heard the familiar hum of the limo. I looked up, to see Penny drive up next to the bus stop. But unexpectedly, two women climbed out.

"I hope she's okay," I heard Penny say to the taller one. "That was a nasty hit."

"Don't worry," the tall woman said. "She's gonna be alright, isn't that right Neo?"

The short girl(okay, that was an understatement; she was barely four feet tall!) pulled out a notepad and pen. She wrote something on there, and showed it to Penny and her friend.

I snapped myself out of my mini-trance and made my way over to Penny. "Penny, what happened!?" I yelled at her. "You were twenty minutes late!"

"Oh, I'm sorry Ms. Schnee," She apologized. "It's just… I accidentally hit that girl with the limo." She pointed towards the shorter girl. But then I noticed what these women looked like.

The shorter girl had two-colored hair, with one side being pink and the other side being brown. Her eyes were also two-colored, the same as her hair. She had many necklaces wrapping around her throat, and she had very cute ice cream earrings as well. Her attire consisted of a white jacket, a dark brown undershirt, a brown pair of pants, a white, pink, and brown parasol, and the tallest high-heels you can imagine. But it was her friend that interested me.

She was easily over six feet tall, with raven hair and orange eyes. Her dress was extremely short, shoulderless, and red as blood, with some gold highlights at the top that went down the sleeves. She had an ankle bracelet, and had possibly the most seductive smile I had ever seen. And she was either the queen of makeup, or the goddess of beauty…

I shook that thought out of my mind. "Really? What happened?"

"Well, Neo thought it would be a nice idea to cross in the middle of the street," the taller girl explained. "When your cute friend here came out of nowhere and hit her. Fortunately she was only hit in one leg, causing the limp." Neo demonstrated by walking over to the bus stop and sitting down, limping the whole way.

"…I see."

"Oh, where are my manners?" She put out her hand. "My name's Cinder Fall. My friend's Neo P. Olitan. I heard Penny mention you being a Schnee?"

I was taken rather aback by her observation. But I smiled, and replied, "Yes. Yes I am!" I shook her hand. "Weiss Schnee, at your service."

"Nice to meet you, Weiss Schnee," She said. "How do you do?"

Nora POV

It had been days. I hadn't heard any improvement in Ren's situation. Everyone had plans for what they would do if he died, and I was no exception.

If he died, I would join him.

I was sitting in his hospital room, sitting next to him. Judging by his brain activity, he was dreaming about something. Nobody could tell, but nobody cared either. We only cared about whether he died or not.

"Ms. Valkyrie?" A doctor knocked on the door. I hoped I could get some answers out of him.

"Yes Doctor?" I asked.

"We have finally figured out that he does have the disease we were concerned about," he explained. "You see, when it's-"

"Nora?"

I swivelled around to face Ren, nearly knocking over my chair. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Ren's eyes were open.

Not the most "holy poop that just happened" ending, but I hope it'll do. :D So, before I go, who do you think a Vampire Cinder should seduce and then seducingly suck the blood out of? Not doing a poll because there are too many characters in RWBY to… wait… okay, maybe not just in RWBY, but whatever you guys want! How about that? Just notify me in whatever way you want about who you want to be seduced, and what they're from. Thanks! Follow, favorite and review! XD
