Disclaimer, I dont own RWBY. Welcome to my first RWBY fic, Im starting early, in tribute of Monty Oum, please leave a constructive review

The heavy scent of dust was slowly filling the air, accompanied by the howls of beowolves, someone was in the forest, and was surrounded by the pack of grimm. Running as fast as she could, pushing her semblance to the limit, short brown hair and a red cloak billowing behind the fifteen year old girl, rose petals left in her wake, wolf ears and a menacing weapon partially hidden by the cloak.

'I hope I can make it to this person in time' Ruby thought worriedly, coming upon a cliff, she stopped, and looked down, noticing a woman, wearing a white and black outfit, with a purple and black cape of sorts, blonde hair in a bun, surrounded by at least forty beowolves, the few fallen behind the back, all forming a half circle against the cliff wall, surrounding her.

"Well, time to do something foolish" Ruby said to no one in particular, reaching to her neck and pulling out a whistle of sorts, before jumping over the cliff, the whistle making a high pitch screaming noise, much like a banshee, causing the beowolves to cease moving in on the figure, and look up. With the night acting as her shroud, she deploys her weapon, digging it into the rock, slowing her descent to a safer speed. The figure took this time to look up, hoping to see what had these dark creatures to not focus on her, when she finally heard the screaming noise, seeing a flash of red in the pitch black sky.

'time to help' Ruby thought excitedly, working the bolt to chamber a round in her massive sniper scythe, aiming the muzzle of the weapon to the wall of rock and firing, sending her previously vertical descent into a long arc, the grimm having long seen her, and followed her path to the tree line, her form disappearing into the leaves. The alpha of the pack, long familiar with her presence in the forest, slowly walks to the trees, before the the blade of a scythe hooks around its body, pulling it into the shadows, the only sound coming from the darkness being its pained cries. The pack, suddenly turning aggressive, charges, but stop and turn when five suddenly split in half.

"My turn!" exclaims Ruby, excited to have a fight that she could easily win, starts twirling the weapon in her hands, and running about, quickly decimating the confused beasts, after making quick work of almost all of the beowolves. While focusing on one in particular, Ruby never noticed one slowly sneaking up on her, until a riding crop sent dust in her direction, and causing it to explode in flames. The last of the beowolves deciding to turn and run, leaving the two alone in the clearing. "Who are you? What are you doing out here?" the stranger asked, hoping to learn more about her little savior "My na-' but before she could finish, a noise caught their attention. The stranger quickly reaching into her pocket, grabbing a ringing scroll and answering "Glynda, are you alright? You haven't responded to Oobleck or Port, were starting to get worried" asked a new voice, "Im fine Ozpin, but I found something you may want to see, im going to head to the rendezvous point, call them back" replied the woman, now known as Glynda to Ruby, "If you would please, come with me, we want to-" before she could finish, Ruby collapsed, having pushed herself in the fight, the last thing she could remember a worried face and somebody catching her before she hit the forest floor.

"You said you found her in the middle of a grimm infested forest? and that she fought off nearly forty beowolves on her own? Im sorry Glynda, but im having a hard time believing this, even if it is coming from you" stated a slightly familiar voice, "But its true, I have nothing to gain from lying and you know it" stated an even more familiar voice "Mmmhhmm" groaned Ruby, alerting all nearby to her return to the world, "It would appear that our new friend is awake" stated a slightly fast speaker "Indeed you are right, maybe she can provide us with confirmation of your story" a gruff but authoritative voice boomed. Ruby shrank into her cloak, the three new additions visibly scaring her. Noticing this, the one she recognized as Glynda hurried a the men who she didn't recognize at all out of the room, leaving her with Glynda, and the first person she heard upon waking. "Could you tell us who you are, and why you were in a grimm infested forest, wielding an incredibly dangerous weapon?" the man asked, not being forceful, and sounding quite gentle. "M-m-my name i-is Ruby, R-ruby R-rose" she answered, hoping to not anger these people, her past experiences serving her well when it came to people, her senses going into overdrive since what happened three years ago, when she was kidnapped, and people like this were new to her, not wishing to harm her. But the reaction she got when she said her name was one none were expecting, Glynda and this man were shocked "could you please remove your hood?" the man asked "Ozpin!" Glynda suddenly snapped, but then they both turned, they saw silver eyes staring back at them, a mess of brown hair, with old red tips, and a pair of wolf ears sitting upon her head "Well this confirms it, we finally found her. Miss Rose, my name is Ozpin, and now that we know who you are, could you please come with me?" Ruby was surprised, as was Glynda, here was a man she had just met, was still somewhat scared of, and he was asking her to walk with him.

"Ozpin, I think you should let her rest before you ask her anything else, or try anything else, here, lets bring her to one of the empty dorm rooms, there is still a month before the returning students start arriving, plenty of time to figure something out" "I think that is actually a much better idea than mine, miss rose, if you would please follow us, we can get you situated for the night" "O-ok, but can I at least have crescent rose back? I would feel, a l-little better if I had it with me, please?" "Of course, here it is, now if you'll excuse me, I should go and let the others know of her presence here" Glynda quickly walked off, leaving her to follow Ozpin. "S-so, um, where are we exactly?" Ruby was still worried that he would turn on her, and treat her much like the white fang had, but he just smiled "You are in the kingdom of Vale, and, more specifically, my school, Beacon academy" he replied. Ruby stood there in awe, here she was, in a place she thought she would only be capable of dreaming about for the rest of her life, but here she was, walking with the headmaster.

Making it to a dorm room that would be empty until the new first year students had been easy, Ozpin had left for the night, promising to come and get her in the morning, leaving her to her thoughts. She wondered what more they would have to talk about, she wondered if he would let her join his school, this was her dream for as long as she could remember, but recent events killed her dream, wishing to see her sister Yang again, but now, she just wanted to sleep, and let tomorrow bring what it may.

AN/ so I hope to improve my writing, I know it might be a little painful to read, but it'll get better eventually.
