AN: Here we go. First off, sorry it's so short. I guess I'm just a flashfic kinda gal. This is only the first chapter, and I debated hooking the second scene on to it, but decided not to. I actually wrote this particular scene three years ago, and it was intended to become an original story(novel), but for some reason turning it into an RWBY fanfic seems like the right thing to do. Makes it a bit easier to write. Anyways, this is an AU. I'll get into all of that later, I think...All will be explained!
The crisp November air presented a welcome change to Weiss Schnee as she stepped out of the hospital and into the night. This welcomed change, however, was soon forgotten as a blood-curdling scream reached her ears. Weiss stopped dead in her tracks, the hair standing up on the back of her neck. Before she had time to think or run, the pungent smell of rotting flesh and heavy char filled her nostrils, making her gag. What looked like the upper half of a decomposing corpse was floating eerily towards her. She tried to scream, but for Weiss there was only a loud crack, a bright light, and then, nothing.
