Chapter 674 - Quixotic

"RAINBOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

....RAINBOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Kyle, have you seen Rainbow?"

"Faster, faster, faster. Come on. Show me what you got."

"You really are ballsy."

"And....done. All the wood is set; we just need to lay it down; paint the lines, and get the rest of the stuff."

"Wonder how the others are doing? I'll be right back."

"Our confidence aint going anywhere. Take your time."

"Don't get ahead of yourself. We're still at the….

Rainbow!! What are you doing here?"

"We have a problem."

"How big a problem?"

"....A big problem."

"Should I get the…"

"Maybe it's best if they don't come."

"But Rainbow, if it's as big a problem as you say, then shouldn't we…."

"Please. Trust me on this. Hop on."

"Ummmm….Ruby. So I have been going over the designs, and it appears that we might have to cut a little off the corners in order to...…Ruby?

….Ruby?

Has anyone seen Ruby?"

"Where are we going, Rainbow? Can you tell me now?

Why are you…..woooo…slow down. Answer me?

What's going on?"

*Eeeeaaaaarrrriiiacccchhhhhhhh*

"They're hunting them."

"Who?"

"The Animals.

The Majority is hunting the animals. I saw one of them...and it didn't look like he was hunting for food. So that means...."

"He was hunting for sport."

"...Or to send a message."

"Rainbow, why didn't you tell me earlier. Or….or….rush at them on your own? I mean you…."

"Ruby, I'm sorry. I thought that I could get to you in time so that we could…."

"....Watch.....the blood together?"

"What?"

"....We're too late."

"No.

I.....DeathPetal ran as fast as he...…We....No. This can't be happening.

Ruby, I am truly sorry. I really honestly did believe I could have gotten to you in time.

…Ruby?"

".....DeathPetal is not the problem."

"Ruby, please. If I knew then…."

"What's this?

*Stttiisssssh*

'Can't be in two places at once, Guardian.

Now the whole world knows what happens to a Rogue. This is what's going to happen to every...single...Rogue who crosses your school from now on. We'll keep a Hunt out....You should to.'"

"Ruby?"

"Rainbow.....go home."

"Ruby?"

"Please.

Just leave me."

"I...….What do we tell the others?"

"Tell them whatever you want. And don't forget to tell them who's responsible."

"You know what Ruby?

..Next time I see you walking in the cold outside my castle.....I'll just close the doors...…..AND LEAVE YOU THERE!!!!!!!!!!

Come on, DeathPetal. Let's give the news to the others.....something Ruby obviously can't do herself."

Living in a dream is one thing.....but maybe my sister was right.

'That doesn't mean we have to live in it with you.' Bout time we wake up to reality and see what's really going on all around us. We can't just close our eyes and hope everything goes away. Cause when we do...…things like this happen."
