Ask AI: Can you write a dark story, based on the show RWBY, where the curious cat successfully stole ruby's body and managed to escape the ever after.

**A New Dawn** In the whimsical yet treacherous land of Ever After, a world parallel to but separate from Remnant, the lines between light and dark often blurred. Ruby Rose and her friends had ventured into this surreal dimension on their latest mission, unaware of the true perils that lay ahead. Among the many mysterious beings in Ever After, there was one peculiar creature who stood out: the Curious Cat. Unlike ordinary felines, this particular cat possessed an insatiable curiosity and an unnerving intelligence. But beneath its charming, inquisitive demeanor, the Curious Cat harbored twisted desires—one of which was to escape Ever After and experience the world of Remnant in a new body, unbound by the limitations of being a mere feline. Days turned into weeks as Ruby and her team traversed through enchanted forests and labyrinthine castles, seeking a way back home. The Curious Cat trailed them, watching, waiting for the perfect moment. Ruby, being the brave and compassionate soul she was, often seemed oblivious to the cat’s true intentions. Her guard never truly went down, but she had unwittingly underestimated the extent of the cat’s cunning. One fateful night, as the moon cast an ethereal glow over Ever After, the Curious Cat set its plan into motion. Ruby had wandered off from the group, needing a moment of solace beneath the starlit sky. It was during this time that the cat approached her, its eyes glinting with ancient knowledge and dark ambition. "Ruby, dear," the cat purred softly, its voice a velvet trap. "Would you like to know a secret about Ever After? One that might aid you on your journey?" Ruby turned, her silver eyes shimmering with curiosity despite the growing feeling of unease deep within her. "What kind of secret?" she asked. The cat’s form shifted slightly—a sign of the magical machinations at work. "The kind that can unlock hidden paths and grant you power beyond imagining. But... there is a price." Ruby hesitated. In her heart, she knew she shouldn’t trust the Curious Cat completely. But the weight of their mission, the fleeting hope of returning to Remnant, and the cat’s beguiling words clouded her judgment. "What price?" she whispered, her voice barely audible over the faint rustling of leaves. "Just a small exchange," the cat said, its eyes narrow slits of gleaming malice. "A momentary melding of minds, so I might show you the way more clearly." Ruby’s eyes widened. She knew it was risky, but desperation gnawed at her resolve. With a deep breath, she nodded. "All right. Show me." Before Ruby could react, the cat leapt onto her shoulders, its claws digging into her skin—not painfully, but with a possessive grip. Ruby gasped as the cat’s eyes began to glow, and a strange, swirling magic enveloped them both. The merging was excruciating. Ruby felt her consciousness being pushed aside, suppressed by a foreign, powerful will. Her body stiffened, and her vision dimmed as the Curious Cat’s essence took control. She struggled, mentally clawing at the invader, but it was all in vain. The cat’s will was too strong, and Ruby’s soul was gradually forced into the darkest corners of her own mind, barely able to observe, let alone fight. The transformation complete, the cat now gazed through Ruby’s silver eyes, a disturbing blend of familiarity and alien hatred reflected in them. It stretched its new, human limbs, relishing the sense of power and freedom that came with Ruby's form. The costume, the scythe, the very essence of what made Ruby a Huntress—all these were now at the cat's command. As dawn approached, the cat in Ruby’s body returned to the group. There was a subtle but undeniable change in her demeanor that her friends noticed—a coldness, an otherworldly glint in her eyes that betrayed Ruby’s usual warmth and courage. "Ruby, are you all right?" Yang asked, her voice tinged with sisterly concern. The cat, now Ruby, smiled—a smile that sent shivers down the spines of everyone who saw it. "Never better, Yang." With calculated precision, the cat manipulated the group, guiding their paths through Ever After until they reached an exit portal back to Remnant. Finally free from the confines of Ever After, the cat reveled in its success. It was no longer a mere creature of curiosity bound to a magical realm. Now, it was Ruby Rose—a powerful, respected Huntress in a world ripe for exploring and, perhaps, controlling. But for Ruby herself, the nightmare had only begun. Trapped within her own mind, a prisoner to her own body, she watched helplessly through the eyes of her usurper. She screamed silently, longing for someone to notice, to save her. But the world moved on, none the wiser to the true darkness that had now dawned upon it.
