Lethal Protector: RWBY × Yang × OC (Editing and waiting for V10)

(RWBY V6) Alone in the Woods

Ruby Rose stares at the moon through a window, sitting on the staircase. Snow is drizzling outside. Ruby checks on Blake Belladonna, Weiss Schnee, and Yang Xiao Long, who are sitting on the rug and staring at the fire from the fireplace. Maria Calavera reads a book while sitting on the sofa and Oscar Pine is pacing back and forth. After checking on the others, Ruby stands up and walks toward Qrow Branwen. Qrow is sitting nearby the window, looking outside with his feet propped on the drawer.

Qrow: Storm's cleared up for now. We should be able to leave by morning.

Ruby: That's good.

Qrow: No... I don't have a good feeling about this place, especially with me around...

Ruby looks down at a wine bottle on the floor with Qrow's hand hovering near it, then looks at him.

Ruby: Are you... okay?

Qrow: (scoffs) Sure. Tell everyone to get some sleep. I'll wake you guys up just before sunrise.

Ruby walks away as Qrow drinks from the wine bottle. Ruby pauses and looks back at him before narrowing her eyes downward.

Back in the other room, the fire continues to burn. The book Maria is reading has a "III" on the cover, with the other two volumes on a nearby table.

Oscar: It's a diary?

Maria: The head of this household, Bartleby. Apparently, he and several other families founded this little settlement to try and live on their own. It sounds like it worked, at least for a spell.

Oscar: Grimm?

Maria: Just one of many hardships. Slowed down their farming, made everything harder... It's a shame, really. He seemed like quite the ambitious fellow, always thinking of new schemes to overcome the odds.

Ruby: (walking back into the room) Hey guys. Qrow said we should get some sleep. We're gonna head out early tomorrow.

Blake: Thank goodness.

Everyone gets up to get ready to sleep. Maria hops off the couch.

Maria: Hmph, the last thing you'll catch me doing is letting some kid tell me what to do. (in a mimicking voice) "Go to bed!" (scoffs)

Maria sits on an armchair, turns on the lamp next to it and continues reading from the book. Ruby shrugs and smiles before going to sleep herself. She then spotted Watari and Onyx coming back inside along with Silver who is still silent.

Ruby: Where were you guys?

Watari: Just out to clear our heads.

Ruby: I see. And Damian? Was he still with you guys?

Onyx: No. But, I wouldn't worry about him. He is no doubt on his way.

Ruby watches as the others go back to the living room and warm up, while Silver is still silent. So Ruby grabs his hand and he looks at her, but says nothing to her.

Ruby: You know you can talk to me, right?

Silver looks up at Ruby but looks down immediately after and remains silent.

She watched as her boyfriend walks away from her causing her to feel bad. But then, she feels someone gently patting her head and looks to see it was Damian.

Damian: Give him time. It's not every day you hear that you're the creation of two of Gods.

Ruby: Yeah. But, what about you? How are you--?
