An: I decided to go back to my old writing. I have no idea why I change it.  Nothing much changed. I just add this. '....' this means thinking. And another announcement. I will be updating about once a week or half a week once. Depends on my schedule. Work have make my mind dull.... Without the further a do. Read chapter 12 of when music and blades combine.

*Ruby pov* 
                          
I Started to wake up, pulling my eye mask slightly upwards to the right so that I could see the time from my scroll which I took it from under my pillow. I roll to my left away from the window even though there is no sun light peaking through the gaps of the curtain like it normally would. 'I guess I am early.' I remove my eye mask and sit up after a few toss and turn. 'I may as well get up...' since I couldn't sleep back again. I moved slowly and climb down the wooden ladder that was make by us. One, I can't keep asking Weiss to summon her white glyphs for me to climb or ask Yang to give me a boast. Two, my jumping off my bed is really loud. I grabbed some clothes and went in the bathroom. 
                          
I came out dressed in combat clothes and grab Crescent rose and White rose which were in their cases. Before I was about leave I suddenly remember I didn't take my hodded cap with me. I quickly wore it and walk quietly away from the sleeping dorm. 
                          
I looked at the map again in my scroll to check where is the Ember forest. The place where I had the test on the second day of school. Once I reached there, I make sure of marking each tree that I pass by. I stop by one of the tree that is marked about 25 times. This is not the first time I came here. Every time I come here I take the same route,  marking the same tree just so that I wouldn't get lost. 
                          
To be honest, I have a problem. A direction problem and is a serious one. I have no sense of directions which is bad. What if my scroll stop working? What if I don't have a map? Even worst what if I have to travel alone and I don't have map and my scroll stop working all together?  I mean Weiss is nice and everything especially beautiful... Always lead me if I needed help. Yang and Blake also do that but I couldn't relies on them all time or well forever. One day I will or have to be on my own ,they will have their own life too.... 
                          
I always question myself if I should think so negative over here. Like Grimms may appear suddenly due to these thoughts. I feel soft wind against me. My cape flow Abit because of the wind. I couldn't help it. Without the Grimm, the forest is acutally a great place to clear my mind and a great place to do it alone. I don't want to worry Yang. Yang have been baby sitting me since young, Since mother have pass away. As long as I keep smiling the people around me will be happy...

*10 years old* 
                          
As snow fall gently and I feeling chills through my thick coat. I stand near to the small lake that have been frozen due to the winter. My right arm covering my eyes as cried while holding a snow flake hair clip and her letter tightly on my other hand. Yang wrapped her arms around my waist pulling me close to me. I didn't know when she came back I appreciate her being here. 
                          
"Yang! yang!  Where did she go?  Where snow angel princess go to!? Why did she have to leave like ***** did! Like mama did! " 
                          
Even though I couldn't see her as my back is facing her. ***** left one year ago. Yang is still upset about even though yang didn't Should I know she is. Now I understand how yang feel when ***** left. But at least snow angel princess left a letter and a gift. I found them when I walked to the lake where Snow angel princess and I always play. I saw a letter which is clip on a winter rose by the snow flask clip. 
                          
The letter 
                          
"Dear red cape dolt, 
I have to leave and I might not be able to come back again. I will miss you. I will keep my promise of going 
to the best academy in the four kingdoms.  We will see each other again. 
From:snow angel princess. 
P.S. I give you my snow flake clip as your last birthday gift. Happy belated birthday Ruby. "
