Disclaimer. I do not own RWBY that is property of Monty. May he rest in peace. I own Zade. Oh and summer rose is alive in this one. Thanks to ServeIt Sam for being my bata/co auther. Yes sam you added that much to the story.
My name is Zade Silverton Rose. I have reddish black hair, coupled with unusual silver eyes. I wear black combat boots that have a red trim. Complementing that, is my cloak of choice, which is silver and red. The locket that hangs from my neck at all times, contains a ruby in its core.
Unfortunately, the school in which I go to, I am not the most popular kid. The final bell rang as I closed my locker. Pulling up the hood of my cloak, I hurried down the corridor, intent on escaping this hell on Earth as fast as possible. keeping my head down as I walk, I made sure I didn't see any the collection of glares and prying eyes. I grabbed hold of the locket that hung around my neck. The locket and the cloak are the only things I have left to remember my mother and father.
As far as my knowledge went, I am an orphan. Abandoned at the doorstep of an orphanage at a young age.They love me, I just know it.Was what I told myself everyday.
I continued to walk to the exit when I heard the notorious school bully call out me. "Hey little flower! Where do you think your going huh?" His friends snickered at the remark. A crowd slowly gathered to watch the freak of the school's reaction.
I picked up my pace to a jog.Not today of all days, can't you just leave me alone?I thought to myself.
"Hey, get back here you silver-eyed freak, I'm not finished with you yet!" He yelled.
I heard his footsteps pick up speed, and the thudding was get progressively louder; I decided to break into a sprint, not daring to look back, lest I find him right behind me. The bully managed to catch up to me unfortunately, getting a firm grip on my cloak. He yanked me backwards, and swung me around. Making a fist, smiling with malicious intent, he swung at my face.
I didn't understand how I had reacted so quickly. In the blink of an eye, my hand flashed out, parrying the hit perfectly. The bully looked at me in an astonished manner. Another lightning fast hit sent the bully staggering back, clenching his nose and yelping in agony.
Releasing me, he swore and yelled "You'll pay for that one Rosie!" Not wasting another moment, I continued to make haste out of the building. The bully, who had gotten over his brief shock, Looked back up, dumbfounded when he saw his target had already raced out of sight.
Making a blitz out of the doors and in to the streets of New York city, I continued to sprint and ducked into the closest alley. All the while I ran, I prayed that someone, or something would save me from the imminent crowd beating. Retaliating against the bully was a poor choice. Publically humiliating him in from of his supporters was a whole new level. As I ran I looked back and much to my surprise, saw silver rose petals fluttering behind myself, and I felt my pace at which I was running, pick up further. The ruby on my locket began glowing a brilliant Crimson, and a black and red portal appeared directly in front of me. Lacking the proper time and distance to stop, I was flung into the portal leading to god knows where.
In the portal I witnessed many things go by. Images of a family. A Woman who wears a white and red cloak, with a man who wears a black trench coat. Their eyes are filled with happiness. A girl with long blonde and striking lilac eyes appears in the phot next to them. Moments later, a girl and a boy with the same height, hair color, and eyes are what get me. Their eyes are silver. They wear the same colour scheme. Then I see the family in another image. Only this time, their gazes are mournful, and filled with sadness like no other. The key difference, is that the boy who was in the previous picture is missing now.
Then a feminine voice echoes through my head. "I will always love you Zade no matter where you are."
I know that voice. I think as the portal opens in to a bright light.
I fell into a open snow covered valley. Standing up, I brushed the snow off of my clothes.
Where am I?I think as I surveyed my surroundings. Tall walls lined the glen, each one coated in snow that glittered in the sunlight.
I spoted a woman in a white and red cloak walking twords me. I had to strain to see her, her white cloak blendomg with the snow around her. The locket which had never opened even when I tried to, slowly unclasped. A lullaby that sounded familiar played. I held up the locket up to look at it and saw a picture of a family. The same family he glimpsed in the portal. The kids look only seven and nine. I began to humm the melody as it plays. Unknowingly the lady was right in front of me starring at me. I looked away from the locket to find her looking me up and down; as usual, I became very uncomfortable.
"Ummm can I help you?" I ask stepping back, feeling flustered.
"Where did you get that locket?" She cryptically asked.
"I always had this but it's never opened before. Why do you ask?" I say looking at her skeptically
"May I hold it? I want to get a better look at it." She asked politely.
I gripped the locket tighter and turned slightly away from her. The look on my face conveying extreme distrust.
Noticing this, she simply smiled and said
"Don't worry I'm not going to take it from you and run. I just want it confirm a suspicion I have, Is that fine with you?" She says in a caring voice.
I took down my hood, unclasped the locket and handed it to her. It took me a few moments to uncurl my fingers, allowing it to drop into her opem hand.
"Please don't break it it's all my mother gave me, Or at least that what the orphanage told me." I said worriedly.
She took the locket and inspected the picture within the locket.
A tear began rolling down her cheek. Reaching up with her other hand, she removed her hood as well. "Zade Silverton Rose..." she whispered. "Thank the gods..."
"How do you know my name? " I asked her quizzically
"I know it because I'm the one who gave these to you." She says, nodding at the cloak and locket, reaching for my face.
"Wait, what do you mean? I'm an orphan. My parents are dead." I responded in a disbelieving tone.
"No you were taken from us." She sighed. "Shestole you from us when you were younger, and warped you to a different world. This locket was your birthday present from your father and I. All this time, we never gave up looking for you and now I can stop. I can finally put our family's sorrow to rest." She said, her voice wobbily, the tears streaming down her face constantly now.
"I was taken from you? Who did that to me? Why?" There are a million more questions I could ask her as she hugged me.
"It doesn't matter now. All that matters is that you are home, and that we all love you." She replied, wiping her eyes.
"We?" I said puzzled..
"You have a older sister and a twin sister." She said.
"Cool. So what are their names?" I ask, taking back my locket and studying the picture of the family. I looked at what appeared to be the mom, and then look at the woman in front of me. I noticed that they are the same.
"Yang Xio Long and Ruby Rose, or Yang and Ruby. They are your older sisters, although you and Ruby look exactly alike." She replied.
"So I'm the baby of the family?" I asked laughing while I did.
"Yep. For now, let's get you home and put a good meal in your stomach." She said taking my hand and leading me out of the glenn and through the stretch of woods.
