“... Yellow beauty burns gold.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
My sister woke up to her alarm clock blasting out some club music and jumped up to meet the day. After giving a few punches and kicks to her punching bag in her room, she grabbed her robe and went to the bathroom to shower. Most of the time she spent in the bathroom though went into her hair, making sure it was squeaky clean, brushed out completely, and every piece fell into place; even then, most of her hair time was spent on trying to get her hair antenna down. It was my sister’s daily struggle.
After the blonde beauty was satisfied with her look for the day, she headed towards my room to see if I was ready to go. However, this morning, she didn’t find me in my bed. Concern flowed over her face as she tried to see if-for some odd reason-I was hiding either in my closet, under my bed, or something. Her search was not successful in the slightest. Not even clues to my whereabouts were around. Yang quickly walked throughout the second floor searching for me with still absolutely no luck. Once she was convinced I was nowhere on the second floor, she ran downstairs and quickly searched the first floor.
Her last stop was the kitchen and instead of finding me, she found our father who looked up with a sullen, tired face and called to her. My sister looked over at him with wide violet eyes. He was sitting at the kitchen table with a dark expression on his face as he held the house phone.
“Dad, Ruby is missing!” she cried. He nodded and looked down, staying silent for a moment. “Dad, we need to go find her!” she yelled, tears streaming down her face.
“The police found her… Well… A gravedigger actually found her…” he said softly.
“What!? How did a gravedigger find her!?”
“She was found lying in front of Summer’s grave…” he explained, starting to cry himself, “There was a razor beside her and her arm had a bunch of cuts in it… They say she had passed out from blood loss…” Yang began to mumble disbeliefs and cry even harder as her father spoke. “She’s still alive, but she’s been hospitalized…”
Suddenly, Yang screamed in rage and ran out of the house. Her mind shut off and she just ran towards school. All she could think about doing was hurting anyone who had the ability to hurt her baby sister. Her mind brought up two people’s names: Cardin Winchester and Jaune Arc. Cardin was the local school bully and Jaune was my crush; those were the only connections she needed to have a reason to beat them up.
She found Jaune in the courtyard of the school and began to punch and kick him him, ignoring his pleads and questions about why this was happening. “What are you doing? Yang, stop it!” the boy whimpered, “What did I do? I thought we were friends! YANG!” Once he had acquired a bloody nose and broken arm, she left Jaune in a crying heap on the ground and ran off to find her next target.
Cardin and his friends were behind the school, dumping a poor nerdy boy in the dumpster and laughing their faces off at their cruelty. She grabbed him and began to beat him up as well. Cardin’s friends dropped the nerd and fled, their victim following suit. Once she was done with Cardin, he ended up where the nerd was suppose to go.
She stumbled back into the courtyard where the nurse and school administration had appeared after Yang had jumped Jaune. The blonde mumbled an apology to her sister and passed out from exhaustion, face first into the pavement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Yang woke up, she was in the nurse’s office with the nurse, police officers, school administration, a blonde lady in a fancy dress suit, our father, and her victims passed out in beds far away from the blonde. The adults were discussing what had happened and the fancy woman urged everyone to let her talk to the girl first of all.
“People don’t go into a rage, beat people up, and pass out unless there is something possibly wrong.” she argued, “Let me evaluate her and see if there is something potentially wrong.”
“She’s a maniac. She should be expelled and put into juvenile.” one of the two cops retorted.
“She is not a maniac!” our father roared.
Yang touched the bandages on her knuckles and hands and looked over at Cardin and Jaune before looking back at the arguing bunch of adults. “What happened?” she asked. All of the group’s eyes turned to her and stared her down. Yang frowned and asked her question again more firmly.
The blonde lady turned towards the girl and pushed up her glasses before speaking, “You ran into school and beat up Mr. Jaune Arc and Mr. Cardin Winchester. Mr. Arc suffered a broken nose and arm while Mr. Winchester suffered a concussion and a broken leg. I would like to speak with you, but these cops are demanding that the principal expel you and they put you in juvenile.”
Yang was silent for a moment and then replied, “I don’t remember beating them up. I don’t remember anything. I don’t even remember if I wake up this morning.”
The blonde woman turned back to the cops and crossed her arms, pressing her point further, “See? There is something wrong. Juvenile will not help her.”
“She’s lying!” the cop who suggested juvenile said.
“Well, we can deduce that at the hospital. My co-workers and I are trained for this.”
The school administrators and our father agreed with the lady and the cops finally backed down, leaving the room. The lady turned to our father and handed him papers, telling him to sign these to release me into the hospital’s care and he did so.
“Wait, what kind of hospital is this?” Yang asked.
The lady was silent for a minute and then addressed her question, “A psychiatric hospital.”
Yang’s mind went blank again.
