"Beep Beep Beep" The blaring sound of the clock continued followed by his mother's voice.

"JACK, JACK!" His mom yelled.

"YES MOM, IM COMING" Jack yelled back as he glided out of his bed. Jack was your average 18-year-old, he had a good life, a girlfriend, plenty of friends and lots fun. But he had a tendency to sneak out and go to parties despite not being allowed and sometimes skipping classes such as English, history, and geography. He often skipped English or slagged in it because he was good at it naturally, however, he viewed history and geography as Way to easy and boring.

He got up and got dressed in a Black T-shirt with two wolves standing on The edge of a cliff at Night with full Moon in The background, black shorts and Black socks. before packing his bag with his laptop meant for school, his pencils, erasers and so on. His bag was Black with two Chinese style dragons fighting over control of Earth. And then he headed down the stairs to go eat breakfast. As he walked Down The Stairs he heard a giggle and looked underneath it. There sat his 2-year-old brother, Charlie, trying to eat a tennis ball.

"Hehe, Hello there little bandit" Jack chuckled as he picked his brother up, who responded with a series of giggles before deciding to nibble on Jack's right ear "ow"

"What is it, Jackie?" His mom called from The kitchen.

"It's nothing, Charlie nibbling on my ear is all" Jack responded as he walked into The kitchen where his mother was mixing up some various ingredients to make food for Charlie. Anne, Jack's 12-year-old sister and James, his 16-year-old brother was eating at The dinner table. You Might have noticed The lack of mention of a husband/wife, but that is because Jack's father died almost a year ago serving in Iran.

"There you are Jack," His mother Said cheerfully "Let me take Charlie"

"Ok ma," Jack Said as he handle his mom Charlie before walking over to The dinner table. Once he had sat Down he went to various social media to catch up on what he had missed. The last thing he checked was youtube, you see. Jack is a small time youtuber with roughly 900 subscribers last time he checked. As he locked on and went to see his profile he quickly noticed that his subscriber count didn't start with a 9, and it wasn't a 3 digit number anymore. 1,012 subscribers.

"Hey ma," Jack Said as he put some food on his plate.

"Yes Honey?" His mom answered.

"Guess what" He replied with a smirk.

"What?" His mom asked curiously.

"1000 plus subscribers on Youtube" Jack replied as he finished putting food on his plate

"That's nice, but you Will have to wait until after School to make a video about it" His mother answered, she knew of Jacks youtube Channel and was supportive of it. If he could focus on School that is.

"Ok ma" Jack answered before he began to eat his breakfast

"Don't you ok ma me, young man. Now hurry up before you miss the bus." His mother scolded

"Fine mom" Jack Said as he finished his breakfast and walked into The kitchen and Then began to empty his plate of any food that remained.

"Don't forget your physics assignment! It's on the fridge!" His mum called.

"Yeah yeah, ill take it now," Jack Said as he grabbed The assignment while walking towards The door, he walked up The stairs and walked into his room. Packed his laptop, iPad and other items before grabbing some gum. He quickly Got his brand new shoes on and walked Downstairs. His mom standing in the hall talking to his younger sister.

"Bye mom" Jack Said as he Got dressed in his hoodie and gave his mom a Quick kiss on her cheek and a hug, he walked out the door and to the gate.

"See you after school!" She shouted to him as he closed the gate behind him and walked off.

After he had left his house, Jack was walking down the streets when he heard a yell.

"OI JACKIE" A female voice shouted.

Jack turned around before spotting his friend Jacqueline and breaking out into a huge grin, "Oi cunt, how you doing?!"

"Oi mate," Jack said his friend "Good here, how about you?"

"mighty fine myself if I do say so." Jacqueline said punching his arm.

"Thanks, Jacquie," Jack said

"So did you see what got posted last night?" Jacquie said.

"No I didn't," Jack said "What happened"

"ISIS shitheads carried out some planted bomb attacks in fucking Baghdad that killed nearly 400 fucking people and injured hundreds more." Jacquie told Jack "Like What the actual fuck"

"Yeah," Jack said "I don't hate Muslims but damn, those terrorist needs to die"

"and that's what the b2 is for. Now come on," they said turning a right to face the school.

"Yeah," Jack said as he spotted his girlfriend on her phone "Watch this," he said and

sneaked up to her with a grin on his face.

"what are you doing?" Jacquie said turning to face him.

"Quiet" He grinned as he sneaked up on her, grabbed her phone. Now Jack was a very high person, abnormally high. So naturally his girlfriend looked up to see who had done this and was greeted by a kiss and a happy Jack "Got you"

"Hi Jackie," His girlfriend said as she kissed back

"JUST GET A ROOM." Jacquie shouted laughing.

"AND YOU GET A BOYFRIEND" Jack yelled back as the surrounding people had heard them. Jacquie was met with a bunch of Ooooooohs.

Jaqueline got frustrated and walked off in a huff at that.

"Is she going to be mad again?" Jack's girlfriend asked.

"No, she's a cool lass," Jack said with a smile "But you are way cooler," he said as he kissed her again as the bell rang

It was the first lesson, or the worst lesson as most students at Jack's school was calling it. It wasn't because of the lesson itself. But the damned teacher. Mr. Smith, the teacher that everyone hates. Mr Smith was an elderly man, aged around 65 years old. He was extremely against any fun and was extremely strict and taught in Geography. But regardless, everyone showed up surprisingly. Jack was waiting with his girlfriend wrapped in his arms waiting for the class to start. Which was against Mr. Smith's rules.

"What do you think Mr. Smith will say when he walks into class and sees this?" Jack asked his girlfriend.

"Be pissed" She chuckled, as she took a look around at the other students chilling and breaking Mr. Smiths oh so important rules.

"Heh, yeah," Jack said as he leaned his head on top of his girlfriend's head and rested. That was until The door was slammed open and a very Angry elderly man entered. It was Mr. Fucking Smith. Jack mouthed an 'Oh shit' and quickly sat up correctly.

As soon as everybody was silent Mr. Smith spoke "and what. Do you. Think you are doing." He said with pure malaise

"Who? me?" A random student asked.

"No of course not. See me after class." He said with a glare at the student, who in return mumbled bitch, "No, stay here for two more hours. Detention"

"Now, were where we?" He Said in an evil tone. "Oh yes, grades on your assignment"

"This is bullshit" Jacks girlfriend growled "A fucking B plus? That assignment was an A-plus"

"Yeah it was pretty bullshit" Jack agreed "At Least I Got an A, which is surprising since he fucking hates my guts"

"well look on the bright side. At least you got an A, I mean I'm barely passing. But I'm passing." Jacquie shrugged.

"Pfffft haha" They all laughed before Jack accidentally bumped into another student. The school bully. Usually, everyone Got along well, but some people were still A-holes.

"WHAT. ARE. YOU. DOING?" The bully roared as he grabbed Jack's hoodie

"Looking at your ugly ass face," Jack said earning ooooohs from the nearby students

"DO YOU THINK YOU'RE FUNNY?" The bully asked threateningly

"No, I'm telling the truth," Jack said again as he watched the bully's arm draw back and…

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING MR. JOHNSON?" A voice roared. The principal "You're coming with me, young man"

"Aw fuck," The bully said as he Got dragged away.

"karma has spoken." Jacquie joked.

"Karma is a bitch," Jack Said as he checked himself. "Good, he didn't get sweat all over me"

"well, he was definitely sweating when big Mack showed up," Jacquie said

"Haha yeah" Jack's girlfriend laughed. "Good one Jacquie"

"Right, now let's get to psychics," Jack Said as he turned a left

The Day had gone by pretty well, it was near perfect. Jack looked up at the Blue sky and wondered what to do with his girlfriend and Jacquie. He was sure as hell not going to play video games.

"Hey wait up." he heard Jacquie shouted from behind him in the crowd.

"What?" Jack asked.

"What. Aren't you going to wait up? I thought I was coming over to yours but you don't even have the decency to wait for me?" Jacquie said going into a fake huff.

"Sorry," Jack said. "So, what do you girls want to do?"

"Wanna play dark souls when we get to yours?" Asked Jacquie.

"I dunno, I kinda wanna do something else with you two," Jack said, earning giggles from both girls "NO NOT LIKE THAT"

"Yeah we know, but any ideas? I don't really know what we would do around here. I mean, the cinema just reopened but there isn't anything nice on last I checked." Jacquie shrugged.

"We could go to the old factory," Jacks girlfriend said. "Long time we last were there"

"That's a good idea" Jack agreed "What do you think Jacquie?"

"Eh, not been out for a while, but that place was alright. Yeah sure, why not." Jacquie said

"Right let's go," Jack said as he began to sprint earning 'Hey, wait for us' from the girls.

The three of them walked the overgrown path that leads to the old steel mill that had burned down in the nineties but had never been entirely cleaned up by the city council, but all the remaining scrap had over time, been taken by looters to be sold as scrap.

Now it was a dusty shell of a building with rotted floors and large machines that were covered in dust and rubble, the place had an overgrown area underneath the hole in the roof that let in the light at certain times of the day. Other than that most of the area just had large amounts of rubble around it, but the large pit where they melted the ore had been left surprisingly clear.

The three teenagers were standing outside that very rusty and wrecked building "Right here we are" Jack said "Hmmmm" He said as he inspected the door "They have locked it up again, must have found out that it wasn't locked since last time we went in"

"Yeah, I mean it's not like there aren't any holes in the sides. Let go find some." Jacquie said strolling off.

"Right," Jack said as they spread out to find a way in. Jack and his girlfriend going right, Jacquie going left. As Jack walked alongside the wall, it did a full 90-degree turn and lead off to a staircase, almost blocked off with rubble "JACQUIE. WE FOUND A WAY IN"

"Coming!" Jack heard her shout as the started to climb up the rubble. Fortunately, it quickly stopped and he was met with a hallway, he yelled out "COME, IT'S ALRIGHT. NO DEATH TRAP OR ANYTHING"

"Hehe" He heard his girlfriend giggle as he saw her climb down. Soon they all three were walking down the hallway that apparently only had a door at the end of it. As they approached the wall, Jacquie stepped on a rotten board. Her foot fell through it and she screamed out of a shock. She quickly got up and pulled her foot out of the floor before she uneasily laughed it off.

"Um. Maybe we should stay away from the wood." She said while slowly stepping into the concrete.

"Seems like a good idea" Jack's girlfriend agreed.

"Yeah, that would be best," Jack said as they all stepped onto the concrete.

"What's even down there?" Jacquie said while pulling out her phone and turning on the torch before looking down the hole. "I can't see anything." She said before crawling off of the wood.

"I don't know," Jack said "And I don't attend on finding out" He walked over to the door, opened it up and saw a catwalk leading out to what looked like to where they used to make steel. As he opened the door fully he carefully pressed a foot onto the catwalk, nothing but a few knicks. He slowly stepped onto it, taking careful steps. He was soon standing on the fourth pedal. "Looks pretty safe," He said and took a step forwards. A knirk, before a snap, was heard and he suddenly found himself fall down towards the ground. It wasn't a very high fall, 8 meters at highest. He could survive, but that was what he thought. His phones flashlight soon lighted up a very sharp metal pole pointing up and he screamed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH" He screamed as he felt the metal pole penetrate his chest, push his stomach and liver away or cutting through it. The pain was unbearable. He screamed as the metal pole completely penetrated his body, snapped his spine and went out of his back. As he was held up by the pole, he could feel the blood leave his body. He heard someone screaming. "JAAAAAAAACK JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK" He coughed up blood, and something else. "NOOOOOO, JAAAAAACK" It was his girlfriend, and Jacquie. He looked up with all the energy he could muster and saw his girlfriend and Jacquie climb down a broken lift. As he saw them run up to him he mustered his last words, in this world "I, i. Love you" He felt the life fade away, everything turn black and nothing else but the continues cries of his girlfriend…

Jack had felt like he had been asleep for months, he saw a white light at the end of a tunnel. Maybe it was the light of the hospital lighting? He certainly hoped so. He quickly began to sprint towards it. As he neared it, it exploded into a white wave of bliss and joy. A warm fatherly voice spoke. "Ahhh, Jack Xenon. How have you been doing my child?" It was something powerful, like a godly being Jack couldn't even fucking believe it. He was an atheist, and godly beings existed.

"I do understand your confusion young Jack. Many others like you have been confused before" the person in front of him said "And before you ask, yes I am a religious figure, you just don't know which"

"They have?" Jack asked worriedly

"Yes they have," said the man, his facial expression changed from fatherly to sad "Sadly, there is a thing you must be told"

"What is it," Jack asked scared.

"When the religious die they go to heaven, however, there is a problem with Atheists" they began "When they come here, they don't stay. We can't accept them because they didn't believe in God or any other divine"

"Wait, are you saying that the other religions are real as well?" Jack asked shocked.

"Why yes young Jack, almost every single god is real." the glowing person said, "If you are confused why many religious books say there is only one god, it is to avoid fights between us."

"But you said something about me not being able to stay?" Jack asked.

"Yes, when atheists die, they will all go to heaven temporarily. If they have committed enough sins. They will get sent to hell. If they haven't, they get a second chance in life"

"Are you saying that I can come back?" Jack asked happily.

"Sadly not, a souls journey here takes many years" they explained "You passed away a little over a decade ago"

"I.. I did?" Jack said. "How is my girlfriend doing?"

"She is doing fine, worse than if you had survived, but still fine," they said "She is happy, owns her own business and is married and has two young children"

"Thank you," Jack said, "What about Jacquie?"

"Unfortunately she never totally got over it. She believed it to be her fault that you fell. She didn't take too well I'm the coming years, she's moved around a lot and never really settled in. Although recently she has managed to ground herself somewhat, by getting a home and a job, things might turn out better for her " the figure said.

"What about my family?" Jack asked even more sadly, the loss of his friend and his girlfriend had hit him hard. He needed to know about his family "How did they take it?"

"Your mother was in grief for many years, but she is beginning to get better. Your brother and sister were both torn up but they overcame the grief quicker and helped your mother to try to get over it too" They said "But in general, their lives have been going as okay a life Can go with a dead family member"

"Thank you," Jack told The figure, "You Said something about a second chance?"

"Ah yes" They agreed "You Will be reborn on a planet you already know"

"A planet I already know?" Jack asked.

"Yes, you Will be reborn on remnant," The figure said

"Like from The RWBY anime show made by Rooster teeth?" Jack asked

"Yes, like from The anime show" They agreed "However there is a catch, you won't be reborn as a human or Faunus, but as a Grimm"

"Wait for what?" Jack Said shocked "as a Grimm? That means everybody Will try to kill me"

"At The beginning yes, but play your Cards right and you Will Survive. Now you must decide what type of Grimm you will be" The figure said

"I Think I Want to be a nevermore," Jack Said thinking about he could fly away from danger. and to fly in general would be super cool "Yes I Want to be a nevermore"

"Wise choice Young man, now please step into The pool," They said as they gestured to what used to be empty space. Was now a pool of The purest water he had ever seen. He stepped up into The pool and The figure said some words in some sort of language he had never heard. He felt The World go Black again as he was slowly being dragged into The pool by an unknown force.

It was afternoon in Emerald forest, leaves rustling in The wind slowly. It was early May, The Emerald forest was green as ever before. In The middle of these hundreds of thousand trees, in a clearing a small Grimm like bird the size of a large raven laid on a stone. However, it had a very different look than other Grimm. Its eyes were pure apatite green. The Grimm bird began to shake as it regained consciousness.

'Urrrgg' Jack thought as his vision was regained, he tried to wipe some liquid out of his eyes, most likely tears. However, instead of a human hand, a Black feathered wing reached out. He Got scared for a moment but Then remembered that he wasn't human anymore. It felt Strange, but now When he really felt. He could feel that his whole Body seemed Strange, it was unlike anything he had felt before. It was unnerving, to say the least. He stood up on the rock and looked around on his tiny legs. 'This is just weird' He thought as he tried to take a small step carefully. However, his mind wasn't used to this Body so all he did was put The leg out in front of him and Fall. 'owwww' He thought as he tried to stand up, which worked semi ok. 'I need to get control over what my Body Can do'

As Jack slowly, step by step carefully. He had made his Way out of The Clearing. He Saw a bush with blueberries and realized that he was incredibly hungry for some reason 'wasnt there something with Grimm not needing to eat? Or was this just an illusion that his human mind played on him?' He thought as He slowly walked over to The Blueberries and opened his beak. 'Oh yeah, I have a beak now' He thought as he slowly let his beak approach The blueberries. His beak shut right as he caught The berry. He knew he couldn't chew so he did what he had seen birds do before. He leaned back his head and swallowed. The blueberry tasted good, he ate one more and another one until he had eaten enough.

As Jack had finished eating, he heard a rustle behind him. A big Black furry head, with red eyes and a bone mask, peeked out. An Ursa, it looked right at him.

"what you looking at?" the Ursa roared, somehow jack could understand it but that didn't make it any less scary.

"Nothing" He surprisingly said, his voice sounded like a bird.

"hng. Stupid bird," it grumbled before moving on.

"Jeez," Jack Said as he looked at it before it vanished behind some blushes, Jack turned around before looking at what to do… he needed to learn to fly but how? He looked at The trees before slowly starting to jump on their branches making his Way up. He had soon reached The top of one of The Big trees, he spread his wings and…. Instantly started falling straight to the forest floor. He started to panic. 'Oh shit oh shit oh shit', he tried to flap his wings while falling, didn't work. What would Then? Keeping his wings steady and straight? Must have to try, and so Jack did. The Fall started to slow Down and before he knew it he was gliding in The wind a few meters above The Ground.

"Holy shit," Jack said as he gently flapped his wings to keep him up.

As he looked up he saw a large tree approaching fast. He quickly learned to his right making him dodge The tree, he silently laughed before circling it and landing on a branch.

He looked around now that he was high up and decided to look up, what he saw was another Nevermore looking Down on him, with a rather cheery female voice it asked

"hello. Your different aren't you. Your eyes. What is up with them?" She asked curiously

"I, I don't know" He answered

"Hm. Wait There." the nevermore said before climbing the tree and going into a nest he hadn't seen before. "here this should be useful." the bird said as it came back with a bit of scrap metal

"What for?" Jack asked.

"look." the bird said as they placed it in front of him. What he saw was interesting, he nipped at it with his beak and it spoke

"This is, urgh. Sergeant Jonathan Windson, our squadron Got ambushed by Grimm around 2 hours ago. I Think I'm The only survivor, or not. I don't Think I'm going to survive much longer. A small deathstalker Got me on The leg, im poisoned. If anyone gets this, please tell my wife and kids I love them… ugh…" The scrap metal went silent.

"what was that?" asked the nevermore who came around to his side to look at it. "and what did you do?"

"It's a dustling communication device," Jack said thinking that The Grimm most likely didn't use The word human, " I Think it was a dustling warrior."

"How is it you know this?" the bird said standing in front of him and getting down to his height

"I have stalked dustling caravans long enough to Pick up their language" He lied.

the nevermores eyes contracted and he could tell that the bird didn't totally believe him. "is that true then." the nevermore said cautiously.

"Yes it is, I believe that knowledge is more worth than barbarity that many Grimm sports," Jack said.

"Hmm. Not many of us feel that. Most simply prefer barbarism to get our collective goal done." the bird said getting out of his face.

"Are you like that too?" Jack asked, "what do you prefer?"

"well once you manage to reach my age you realize that dying isn't the way to defeat the bustling and their metal darts. And I guess that barbarism works for some but not others." the nevermore said before trying to mess with the scroll that they had.

"Yeah, we aren't build to headbutt one of their steel monsters either" Jack Said.

"no we are not." the bird said returning the scroll to its nest.

"I have to admit, The others look funny When they do try" Jack lied as he had never actually seen it before.

"yes, they do. Come here little one. I have somethings you might be able to figure out." the nevermore said looking at him from on high.

"Alright," Jack answered as he flew up to her. What he saw up there were many human items. he saw several small armor pieces and two scrolls, there was a misty mirror near the other nevermore. What interested him the most was the apparent gun that was buried under the moss in the nest.

"That is a dustling weapon," Jack said as he looked at The small pistol, "it could go off, I have seen dustling weapons do that before"

The nevermore hopped away from it after hearing that. "well then."

"Yeah Saw a dustling shoot his hand off, blood all over The place," Jack Said as he looked at it cautiously.

"well how does it work?" asked the other bird before pulling it out of the moss.

"See The small metal stick there?" Jack Said as he pointed at The trigger with his beak. "You make The weapon point towards what you Want to kill with this side," He said as he put his leg on top of it, "And pull The metal stick" Jack finished explaining

"you certainly know much about these. It's almost like you've used them before." the bird said while examining it closer

"I May have accidentally found and fired one" Jack Said, and this isn't even a Lie. When he was Seven he had found his dad's five seven handgun and had shot a picture of an old lady right between The eyes.

"hmmm. What was it like?" asked the bird

"Almost Got killed by dustlings, turns out that The owner was nearby" Again this wasn't a 100% lie, his dad was nearby and had scolded Jack for it. He just didn't almost kill Jack.

The other bird gave low caw that had a humorous tone to it, "well it may not be best to let it off here would it." She said.

"Yeah, we could either throw it away or I Can try to make it not go off," Jack said

"I'm just going to get rid of it." the nevermore sad before picking it up and dropping it off the edge of the nest and as soon as it hit The Ground a bang was heard and a small branch Fall down. The bigger female bird had gotten such a shock that she nearly Fell out of her nest.

"You alright?" Jack asked.

The bird glared at him, "yes. Just surprised that all."

"Okay," Jack Said as he looks up at The sky which was darkening "It's getting late"

"yes. Yes, it is." the bird said looking at the sky "I should go to sleep, do you have anywhere to live little one?"

"No I don't," Jack Said as he looked up at The much bigger female bird.

The other bird puffed out her chest and gave an uneven sigh. "you may stay here for tonight."

"Thanks," Jack Said as he laid Down The Best Way he could, which he had seen on TV, birds do. As his eyelids started to Fall down over his eyes a larger mass laid Down next to him.

He peeked open an eye and saw the other bird preening her feathers. "By The Way, I never caught your name," Jack said.

"Names. Interesting thing names. I never gave them They thought." The bird answered "Well, I do suppose that my name is Tipora"

"Tipora," Jack said, "I like it, my name is Xenon" He decided to go with his last name because it didn't Sound like a Grimm would be called Jack

"very nice name that." said Tipora before she settled down.

"Yours too," He told Tipora before leaning his head in on The chest of The much larger bird slowly falling to sleep as darkness and sleep soon consumed his mind.
