Weiss sat upon her bed gently as she rubbed her head. The funeral was tomorrow.. why had Ruby been so stupid..? The heiress looked at the memorial the girls had made. Crescent Rose sat in the center of the table, surrounded by roses and a few tea candles. The female swallowed the lump in her throat as she thought of her first day at Beacon. When she'd first run into the annoyance that would soon become her partner and leader.

Weiss almost wished she had been kinder to the girl.. but it was to late anyway..

Yang quietly entered the room and cleared her throat. "Weiss?" She asked quietly.

"Hello Yang." Weiss choked out refusing to look at the blonde.

"Everyone is worried about you. We know you're grieving Ruby... but you're not yourself. You haven't been going to classes.." Yang said sitting beside her.

"Ozpin excused us from classes anyway.. " she whispered looking at the folded up scythe again. "How can you do this Yang? Shes gone... we wont see her again.."

Yang gently put her arm around the smaller girl. "I think of what Ruby would say if I sat here while our friends killer is still out there. For all I know.. I'm next. I don't wanna forget Ruby. Ever. She's my little sister..  and she was stronger than me in almost every way." She said hugging Weiss gently.

Yang sighed when Weiss didn't answer her. "Blake and I will be in the Library with Jaune doing more funeral arrangements if you wish to join us.." she said getting back up. "Ruby would want you to stay strong Weiss. You're not as lonely as you make it seem." The girl made her way to the door and left the room with a click of the door.

Weiss closed her eyes. "But.. its my fault." She whispered. "Ruby is dead cause of me." She cried. She pulled her legs up to her chest and let the tears fall.

~Three days prior~
Ozpin stood before his students coffee in hand. "Today I have another challenge for you students." He called out. "This will test how you have grown as a team. Each of you will receive headsets tuned to only your teammates. You will be scattered across the forest and expected to group up and retrieve a treasure. To get this treasure requires team work. Be ready when the clock strikes two." The male said and left abruptly.

"Woohoo! I told you those team exercises would come in handy!" Ruby cheered and punched up in the air.

Weiss rolled her eyes. "Must you be so obnoxious?" she asked, crossing her arms.
"Well, lets get going! We've got a challenge to conquer!" The female rushed to go to their room and get ready.

The others followed slowly. Blake and Yang chuckled at Ruby's excitement.
