Ruby Rose awoke in total darkness. The air was still, the only noise she could hear was the faint breaths of air she took into her lungs. Pain raced across her body as she moved for the first time in a while, her bounded limbs struggling to move against the restraints. Her stomach growled as if to notify the owner that it had yet to consume a single meal and its cries for sustenance.

"Where am I?" She asked herself. Ruby tried to remember what had happened to her. She was supposed to meet Jaune; Ruby winced as her pain shot across her mind as if it didn't want to think about Jaune. She focused on trying to subdue the pain, attempting to calm her thoughts.

She was supposed to be at the dance, she was going to meet with someone and they were going to have a fun time. She would hang out and dance with Penny and Nebula and then try to find someone to dance with Penny… She was to take her date to have fun and maybe they can end it with a kiss… Ruby dreamed of many things happening for that night… but all she can remember is walking through a hallway and then blackness…

Ruby attempted to recall how she had found herself in total darkness but her mind kept on echoing her name and the voice that spoke it was masculine.

Male figures in her life? There was her dad Qrow… but it was much too young to be him, more clear than her dad's gravelly voice. By that logic it also crossed out her uncle Taiyang. Her teachers Mr. Tukson, Mr. Rainart. Mr. Watts. Mr. Shopkeep. Dr. Oobleck. Mr. Schnee… none of them matched the voice that was speaking to her.

Ruby was a little shy to admit it but she never really got close to boys her age. Not for a lack of trying but she tended to shy away from them, in addition to Yang's overprotectiveness and her dad's intimidating demeanour… and not to forget about the ferocity of her mom's bad side. It was no wonder males were allowed around her.

A hazy figure seemed to erupt from the depths of her mind, one of blue years a hoodie and dazzling blonde hair as a gloved hand reached out to pull her up.

A name floated to the surface of her mind as she uttered it aloud. "Jaune?" She asked the void.

"Ruby." The void responded, before she felt the air leave her as an object impacted her stomach..

Ruby gave a cry which was quickly silenced by another object slamming into her mouth her teeth smashing into each other as saliva started to flow from her bruised face.

"Ruby!" the male voice cried with glee "We will love each other forever, I'm only showing you my love… love in its purest form!" He exclaimed.

"Jaune? Jaune! Why are you doing this! What happened?" Ruby panicked. She spluttered and begged the voice of the man she had a crush on.

"I love girls like you… the naive type who is lured in by a dashing look and new to love. You get so flustered at everything that It just made me want to corrupt you."

"Jaune.. This isn't the Jaune I know? Who are you? Where is the real Jaune!" Ruby insisted, despite the constant blows that kept on pummeling her.

"Oh but Ruby… this is the real me. That dorky attitude was all just a ruse to lure you in. Oh how I waited for this day. It was quite difficult to get you alone without making it look bad for me." Jaune explained. A foot clashed into Ruby's knees causing her to scream in agony.

She writhed in her seat as the pain coursed through her body and another kick sent her chair flying. Causing the poor girl to fall to the ground.

"There is still some fun to be had Ruby. Lets enjoy our time together." The voice cackled, the darkness only got darker.

"Do you know how much of a scandal this issue has caused for us?" A tall lithe man in white spat at the white haired girl in orange garbs.. The two of them looked to be related but the two of them were arguing. "Father, I never took that blasted dolt. I never hired anyone to kidnap her. I do not know where she is. This is an elaborate ruse to frame me and to slander the Schnee Dust Company. I know that our company has many bad rumors about it and you even took up a year of teaching to help put the company in a good light… Why would I jeopardize your efforts." the girl in white stated.

"You think I'm that much of a fool. You pulled this little stunt of yours so that you can bring down the SDC. I even heard from Whitely that you even aim to take the President seat out from under me. With a scandal this big they'd have to push us out to save face." Mr. Jacquez Schnee spat, the two way mirror protecting Weiss from the spittle.

"Why would I ever pull something like this. Whitley is indeed correct in assuming that I aim to be President of the SDC, but that is only because I am the Heiress and will be inheriting it. Why would I ever endanger my chances when it's all but guaranteed. You have to believe me father, I did not kidnap that girl."

"Oh but so many others have testimonies, the public is in an outrage over what is happening. My own investigators from the Salem Institute have collaborated and found you guilty of the mentioned charges. If you don't stop playing this foolish game of yours then I will have no choice but to remove you as the Heiress of the SDC. If this still causes you to not comply then you can consider yourself disowned and barred from all SDC products." Jacquez slammed his hand onto the glass, cracking it as Weiss stood up aghast at the ultimatum.

"Father you cannot be serious? Are you even listening to me. I have no relations to the kidnapping of Ruby Rose. I am all but guilty in this matter. I have been framed. People are twisting what others have said and seen. You can question my friend Neptune Vasailles about my whereabouts and what I've been doing that night. He can attest to my every action." Weiss retorted.

Jacquez gave a hearty chuckle. "Funny that you say that. Neptune has testified that he was never with you that night. When asked and questioned he even dare admits that he never knew who Weiss Schnee is. Again I advise that you stop playing this little revenge game of yours, I will not say it again."

"Father… Father! You have to believe me! Father! I did not kidnap that girl! FATHER!."

Hello. Its been forever since I last updated this fiction. An explanation to why I've been on haitus… its mainly school but... my laptop with all my notes on this fiction and Fell Knight as well as Shuffled Remnant sort of just fell apart. First it was the battery bank... then the disc drive... then the first hinge... and then the inner cover of the lid... and finally my laptop fell over as the second hinge broke thus breaking my screen... yeah I got a new laptop so I'm ready to write again... I just need to salvage what notes I do remember...

So here is to the continuation of When I See You, Fell Knight and Shuffled Remnant. Woo!
