The Rose Of Vacuo

chapter 53

*ruby took a breath feeling a little better, she was wearing one of Pyrrha's hoodie that was way too big for her, but ruby loved it since it hid everything of her skin*

Pyrrha:uh, ruby?

Ruby:yes angel?

*Ruby asked looking at Pyrrha, imagine her surprised when she showed her a letter in hand that had a drawing of a rose*

Pyrrha:this came to you, but it was tapped to my shield for some reason

Ruby:read it for me darling

*Ruby said curious, Pyrrha looked at her with a small grin and a even smaller blush*

Pyrrha:oh? What happened to angel?

Ruby:your quite the angelic darling, how about that?

*Pyrrha rolled her eyes playfully and opened the letter*

Pyrrha:Dear rose of vacuo, I hope whoever is reading this for you is a close acquaintance of yours, just know that i am a fan of your exploits,

Ruby: I have a fan now? Ain't that something

Pyrrha:oh hush, you know velvet was also a fan before she became a friend. You have many fans ruby, not everybody hates you

*Pyrrha said with a smile trying to convince ruby that she's loved more then she knows, ruby just sighed and shrugged not being able to believe such a concept, waving at pyrrha to continue*

Pyrrha: and I am of my own journey of killing those scumbags that you hunt as well. I hope that one day we get to meet up and even partner up to take down the laws of vacuo and atlas together. Signed By the mask warrior of atlas

Ruby:the mask warrior huh?

*Ruby muttered to herself with her hand on her chin in thought, with the hoodie ruby looked adorable to Pyrrha*

Pyrrha:you know him?

Ruby:no, but I've heard of him. Well I've heard rumors of him, a rare faunus that's part dinosaur freeing slaves in atlas, like I do in vacuo. Wonder if that Means there's other like me on the other nations

*Ruby said more to herself then to pyrrha. In the ruby just shrugged again*

Ruby:Guess it's good to know that when I die my legacy will live on through him

*Pyrrha frowned and looked at ruby very concerned*

Pyrrha:I don't like it when you talk like that you have the team to protect you now

Ruby:just being truthful angel, I'm not gonna kill myself. If I go out I'll go out with a bang not a whimper. But doesn't change the fact that as soon as this mission is over, whatever immunity ozpin has given me will go away and james will be here the second that happens to sell me of.

*Ruby said with a shrug getting up from the bed and walking up to her, the hoodie reached till Ruby's ankles, ruby grabbed the letter and looked at it, she folded it and placed it in her nightstand. She flinched when she felt pyrrha hug her*

Pyrrha:your my friend rubes, I'm gonna protect you no matter what...

Ruby:those are some nice words angel, but as nice as words are, there empy if you can't back them up

*Ruby said with a sigh her mind making her relive penny dying and ruby being too slow to stop it. Pyrrha hugged her tighter since she didn't know what else to do and they just stayed like that for a bit*

Later

*We see team Amazon and team CRME in ozpin's office, ozpin was as always having a mug in his hand and a "I know more then you" smile, and ruby much to her own relief was back in her outlaw outfit.*
