A/N: After the issue that had transpired earlier as well as announcement following it, you would be moved to RWBY's dorm. There, you would tell the team how you and your race have had to deal with the backlash as well as why you carry such a heavy burden.
Glynda was walking to the room you were in as she heard some noise concerns. Once she arrived at the door, she knocked.
Glynda: (Y/N)?
There was no response as there was nothing but silence. She knocked again.
Glynda: (Y/N), open this door. It's Glynda Goodwitch.
There was still no response. Glynda started to get impatient.
Glynda: Open this door this instant or there will be consequences.
There was still no response. This caused her to sigh.
Glynda: Very well then.
She used her magic to unlock the door and open it.
Glynda: You have some explaining to do with all the......
Glynda soon feel silent when she saw you sitting down on the floor against your bed in a fetal position. Your head was down against your knees, so she didn't see your face. The papers you had read were scattered across the floor. Especially the one that was crushed and slightly soaked in your blood when you gripped on your hand very hard.
Glynda: (Y/N)?
She looked at him before looking to the pieces of paper on the floor. She looked at the crumbled up one first. She used her wand to levitate it to her and open it. Once she opened it up, she saw one of the harsh comments that was one it and was disgusted.
Glynda: Unbelievable.
She soon took notice of the purple-ish color that was on certain spots of the paper. She was confused on what it was at first before she got a closer look and even noticed a similar smudge of the color on one of your hands.
Glynda: My god.....
She soon moved the paper to the side and leaned down near you.
Glynda: (Y/N). Let me see your hands please.
You didn't respond to her request and just remained motionless.
Glynda: (Y/N), please.
She said as she held the top of your hand. You simply only move your hand a bit rather while still keeping your head down. She got a look at the part of your hand where the blood leaked out from. As she looked, she noticed that there was a bit of blood on the fingers of your other hand. This prompted her to look around a bit and see that there were some bloody scratch marks across some parts of your skin as a result of you gripping against your own body.
Glynda: (Y/N), I need you to tell me if you know who sent these to you.
You still didn't reply as you kept your head down. As this was going on, some of the students in the neighboring dorms peaked through the opened door way and saw what was going on inside.
Glynda: (Y/N)...... please.....
She said before gently placing her hands on the sides of your head. It at least managed to make you look up at her, allowing her to see your tear-filled eyes.
Glynda: If you know, please inform me.
You were silent for a moment before you eventually replied to her.
(Y/N): I don't know..........
It was all you said in that moment as Glynda continued to hold the sides of your face.
(Meanwhile).
Weiss was walking around the halls after her argument with Ruby until she came across a balcony where Professor Port was watching the sunset over Beacon Academy's rooftops. Weiss soon approached him.
Weiss: Professor Port!
He turned to look at her.
Weiss: Ah, Miss Schnee! And to what do I owe this fine pleasure?
Weiss: I... I enjoyed your lecture!
Port: Of course, you did, child. You have the blood of a true Huntress in you.
Weiss: You really think so?
Port: Most surely!
He soon noticed Weiss' small frown and lack of eye contact.
Port: Hmm... Something's troubling you.
Weiss: Yes, sir...
Port: Dear girl, confess to me your strife!
Weiss: Well... I....I think I should have been the leader of team RWBY! Not to mention that I just don't think we can trust having an Arcosian in Remnant.
Port fell silent for a moment until he spoke again.
Port: That's preposterous!
(Meanwhile, with Ruby).
Ruby: What do you mean?
Ozpin: I mean, it's only been one day. Ruby... I've made more mistakes than any man, woman, and child on this planet. But at this moment, I would not consider your appointment to leader to be one of them.
He leaned in so he could look more directly at Ruby.
Ozpin: Do you?
Back with Weiss. She was getting angry.
Weiss: Excuse me?!
Port: I've believed in Professor Ozpin for many years, and the man's never once led me astray!
Weiss: So, you would just blindly accept his decision even after seeing how exceptional I am?
Port: With all due respect, your exceptional skill on the battlefield is matched only by your poor attitude.
Weiss: How dare you!
Port: My point exactly. I see a girl before me who has spent her entire life getting exactly what she wanted before a certain event happened that was done by 1 small group out of an overall mostly peaceful race.
Weiss crossed her arms.
Weiss: That's not even remotely true! ........Well... not entirely true.
Ozpin: Being a team leader isn't just a title you carry into battle, but a badge you wear constantly. If you're not always performing at your absolute best, then what reason do you give others to follow you?
During this, Ruby looked thoughtful with Ozpin's words, then smiled at him.
Port: So, the outcome did not fall in your favor. Do you really believe that acting in such a manner would cause those in power to reconsider their decision?"
Weiss finally calmed down and looked at him again.
Port: So instead of fretting about what you don't have, savor what you do. Hone your skills, perfect every technique, and be not the best leader, but the best person you can be. And as for (Y/N). While It's understandable to hold a grudge, we shouldn't have to blame the entire species for the shameless actions of a few bad eggs. At least try giving them a second chance, there might just be more to them than you may believe.
Weiss smiled a little at the words of wisdom. During this, Ozpin turned his back to Ruby while still talking to her.
Ozpin: You've been burdened with a daunting responsibility, Ruby. I advise you take some time, to think about how you will uphold it.
Ruby, with a last look of consideration, turned and walks away. She came to the balcony where Port was walking away from Weiss and smiled a little at her partner. However, Glynda was soon heard on the speakers.
Glynda: all students and staff members to the auditorium immediately!
Port: Hm?
Ozpin: Oh no.
(TimeSkip).
Glynda had called the students and staff to the auditorium and had told them about the letters that were found in the room and what was said on them. Everyone could hear a clear sound of anger within her voice. However, a lot of them had also taken notice to the look of your current condition. The looks from some of the people had changed from the usually look they gave to a sort of horrified and even guilt ridden. Others were still the same, but not as much as before. After everything in the auditorium was done, Ozpin and Glynda gave you the option of staying in the room you were in before by yourself, or you could be able to pick a room with a team. You had decided on the latter as you felt it would be better to have some comfort after everything. You had chosen Team RWBY's dorm considering Ruby and Yang were the two people you knew the most so far. Glynda also made one thing clear to everyone that if should something like what happened earlier happen again, there would be consequences. You were currently sitting within team RWBY dorm now with Ruby, Blake and Yang while your deep nail cuts were all bandaged up.
Ruby: Why didn't you try going to tell someone about this?
(Y/N): It was just so much built up frustration during that moment. It felt like despite what I wish to do, it probably wouldn't matter.
Yang: But why inflict this damage onto yourself?
You soon sighed before beginning to explain.
(Y/N): I guess an explanation should be given.
As Weiss approached the door to the dorm. Just as she was about to open the door, she heard you speaking.
https://youtu.be/TG1pRNQAByI
(Y/N): After my kind left Remnant, things only got worse for us. It wasn't just this world that our relationship was broken with, but other planets we were aligned with as well. Thus, we were forced off those planets and away from them as well. There were at least still a handful of planets who did remain in alliance with us. However, after the current actions of a member of our species named Frost, they began questioning if we were to be trusted as well. Frost was rather young, he lacked very much compassion for other species or what we typically do. It seems that he wanted to follow more in the footsteps of Frieza rather than the rest of us. We knew this because we caught Frost attempting to try and pull off a plan where he would try to start a war on a planet, and then he would come in to end it and make himself look like a hero. Thankfully he wasn't able to pull it off when we caught him. Unfortunately, he got away before we could get him into custody. But that's not the only issue we've had to deal with.
Blake: What was the other one?
(Y/N): On some of the other worlds, some of my kind made close friends with some of the members of those planets. But, after the incident, the ones who they thought were their friends either lost trust in them or even treated them like total strangers they've never met. It didn't help that both me and dad had to see my mom have to deal with it. Some of the people who she called her friends not only would tell her that they wanted nothing to do with her, but even went as far to say that the friendship that they made with her was the biggest mistakes of their lives. It torn mom from the inside and she became so frustrated that she had done something similar to what I did to myself. Only thankfully, me and dad were at least able to calm her down. But the memory still burned in our minds about just how much the incident has affected us and how we would be treated.
As you were explaining everything, the girls had looks of distraught on their faces from the unfortunate story.
RWBY: ☹
(Y/N): That's why I chose to come here to, in order to hopefully put all the pain, hate, anger and frustration to an end. I can only hope I'll be able to succeed. Even with how big of a burden I'm having to carry.
That's when Ruby, Blake and Yang all hugged you, much to your surprise.
Ruby: Don't worry. Even if you're hated by many, there are at least still others out there who still care about you and your kind no matter what. Those were the words I remember my mother telling me before she was gone. No one else should be blamed or judged just for the actions of another.
You softly smiled a bit before hugging them all back.
(Y/N): Thank you.
You then felt a 4th pair of arms hug you from behind before turning around and seeing a regretful Weiss.
(Y/N): Weiss........
Weiss: I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... I'm sorry for not understanding sooner. I shouldn't have blamed your kind entirely for what they did. And it isn't fair for me to judge you and not give you a second chance.
(Y/N): It's alright, Weiss. One thing I've always learned from my parents to sometimes forgive
She continued to hug before she let go and looked to ruby.
Weiss: Ruby..............
She said with an apologetic smile.
Ruby: Huh?
Ruby let go and stood up as well.
Weiss: I think you have what it takes to be a good leader.
Ruby smiled a little as did you.
Weiss: Just know that I am going to be the best teammate you'll ever have!
All of you shared a smiled with each other.
Ruby: Well uh............I guess we should all go to bed. it's been a long day.
She said as it was shown to be pretty late outside the window.
Weiss: Oh.... yeah. I guess we should.
She said while doing the same.
Ruby walked to the bunk beds before Weiss spoke again.
Weiss: Hey, Ruby?
Ruby: Uh huh?
Weiss: ........................I always wanted bunk beds as a kid.
Ruby cutely smiled at Weiss before walking back to her bunk bed. You were currently thinking at where you could sleep.
(Y/N): Hm........
Ruby: (Y/N)?
You looked up to Ruby.
Ruby: If you don't mind.......could you sleep with me in my punk for tonight.
You smiled again and nodded.
(Y/N): I'd appreciate that.
You said as you stood up and walked with Ruby to her bunk area. She pulled the covers over you both and she pulled you into a hug as she started to fall asleep.
Ruby: Good night.
You slightly blushed before smiling one last time.
(Y/N): Good night.
You said before closing your eyes and you both fell asleep.
A/N: Things can hopefully have a better turn this time around.
