Our Story

Prologue

The snow was falling hard in the Dead Forest. The sound of thumping came from all directions. The bodies of beowolfs covered the snowy landscape. Among all the carnage, a small little girl in a red hoodie walked through the scene. She had her hands on the deadly weapon she called Crescent Rose. She scanned the area for any signs of straggling creatures of Grimm.

As she cleared the tree area, she came across a clearing. The land was nothing, but snow. But in the distance, she saw objects moving through the trees. Red eyes pierced the distant forest of trees. She continued to walk in the direction of danger. The creatures began to pursue her. As they grew closer, she didn't budge. She walked towards them with Crescent Rose in hand. The leaders of the pack leapt at her. Her scythe swung in both directions, sliced up the beast, and continued to advance on the beasts.

She approached the middle of the clearing and stopped. The beasts were beginning to surround her. She looked to the ground and noticed they were moving in. Her stance became low and swung her scythe in a circle. By shooting from within her spiral, she remained in the same place while slicing everything that tried to break through. That strategy eliminated and half the pack so she stopped and began to attack them. One by one, she cut off the limbs of each of the beowolfs leaving the ground covered in red. When she spotted the last one, she stared it down and waited for it to make the first move. It stood there for a while, but then decided to run off. She transformed her scythe into a sniper and took shot at the beowolf escaping. In the far distance, she saw the beast fall to the ground, headless.

She had triumphed. She decided that the day was old and left the forest. As she was walking to the edge of the forest, she noticed a shadow from the sky. She looked up and saw a paper falling from the sky. It flew to her and she grabbed it. It was letter. As she looked at the mysterious letter, she began to wonder. What's this doing here? How'd it find me? She opened it and bean to read it.

She was shocked. She had been waiting for this day for a long time. As the joy began to kick in, she turned the letter over. There was a small inscription. It read: Ruby Rose.

Ruby woke up. She sat up and looked out the window. The courtyard was covered in the rays of the sun. She stretched and looked to her teammates who were still sleeping.

"Hm, this is going to be a good day."

...

"Alright, so I've come up with a material that can withstand your weapon, but only for a brief amount of time so let's put it to the test. I've brought some of the best from my academy here to help train you. So let's begin."

First off, they started with a one on one match. She had her sword and he had a metal bow staff. He charged her with a strike to the head. She ducked a swung at his back. Immediately, he turned and retaliated with a shot to the gut and kicked her away. She got up from the ground at eyed her opponent. She focused on the task in front of her. Her sword came up to her face and took aim. Her sword turned blue and she sprang towards him. He lunged at her with his staff, but she leapt into the air. Her sword pierced him and he froze up. She then landed behind him with her sword, now with a red color. She stabbed him in the back which caused the ice to explode and send him to the other end of the room.

"That's enough."

"Wait, I thought I was going against the others too?"

"No no, I've seen enough."

"But I'm not done yet."

"Weiss! That's enough." He eyed her with anger and she retreated back to her room. As she came to the door of the room, there was a paper nailed to the wall. She ripped it off and opened.

-Beacon Academy Administration

She put the letter to her breasts and looked up in relief. All those days of training have finally paid off. I've been accepted.

Filled with happiness, she ran through her house looking for her parents. First, she found her mother and showed her the letter. Her mother was filled with joy and gave her a hug.

"Oh, Weiss. I'm so proud of you sweety."

"I'm going to find father." She ran off immediately without hearing what her mother said as she left.

"Father, father." He was nowhere to be found and the last place she came to was his room. The door was huge and had magnificent engravings on the door. Looking at the door always scared her for some reason, but this was too important to pass up. She slowly opened the door and saw him working at his desk across the desk. As she approached him, he was on the phone, yelling at the top of his lungs. Weiss slowly grew shy as she walked closer to his desk.

"Um father, I wanted to tell you something." He looked up at her in annoyance.

"Weiss, I'm working right now. I can't talk."

"I know, but it's just that.."

"Weiss! I don't care. I'm doing business right now." He pointed towards the door and continued his work. She walked out of his room with her head down in tears. She got out and closed the door behind her. She saw her mother waiting for her and she ran to her.

"Why is he always like this?"

"Honey, your father's a workaholic and just can't be interrupted these days. Weiss, I think I need to tell you something important."

Sniffling, "What?"

"You're father paid the school for you to get in."

"No!" Weiss woke up. She put her hands over her eyes. As she sat up, she whispered to herself,

"Get out of there." Ruby saw that Weiss was out of bed and climbed down to her.

"Hey Weiss, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just had a bad dream."

...

She sliced off the head of one last robot. The head fell to the ground and so did hers. As she looked up, she saw the train furthering into the distance. What could she do? She remained there in silence and then a man passed by her.

"That was our second one this week."

"I know. I'm sorry, but..."

"No. I don't want to hear it. Just head back to the shack." She stood up and turned around in disappointment. As she disappeared into the forest, he continued to look where the train used to be. He tightened his grip on his sword, took a deep breath, and left.

When he returned to the shack, the girl was on her knees with just her shorts and bra on. He threw his coat on a chair and unsheathed his sword.

"You know why that train got away?"

"I lost my focus master."

"Exactly." He then slashed her back. "Do you know why you lost your focus?"

"No." He cut her on the left upper arm.

"Of course you don't. Your mind has been somewhere else. I don't know why, but now you're paying for your mistake." He then cut up her right forearm. He went over to the other side of the room to clean up his sword. By now, she was dripping blood. Tears were falling from her face. He faced back towards her and said,

"The reason why you lost your focus was because..." She interrupted,

"You lost the knowledge of what we're truly fighting for!" He eyed her with anger and cut up her left forearm. She yelled out in pain and he kicked her over.

"You have no right to speak now! The reason why you lost your focus was because you fail to see what we can accomplish. You shun your talents because you think everything is wrong. Your own ambitions are interrupting your progress here in the White Fang." He walked over to her, who was still on the ground in pain. He picked her up and brought her to her bed. He set her down to rest.

"Rest up. We're supposed to get another train tomorrow on those same tracks and hopefully, you don't screw up this time." He took his coat and sword and went back into the forest.

She laid on her stomach due to her back and arm injuries. She was in pain and continued to cry. For a few minutes, she remained motionless. As the pain started to subside, she looked up and saw her black sweater hanging from the wall. She walked over to it and brought it back to her bed. She grabbed her sword and cut off one of the sleeves. She then put it over her left arm. Unfortunately, the sweater was from when she was a little girl so it only went down to the middle of her forearm. Looking down, she noticed the cuts were all random. She then cut up the rest of her sweater. After some time, she was able to wrap small strands of sweater over her cuts. It was done. Her wounds were covered and ripped up sweater was on the ground. The only thing left on it was the White Fang insignia.

"I can't do this anymore."

She heard flapping coming from the door. She looked up and it was a piece of paper wedged between the door and the door hinge. She walked over to it and read it.

-Beacon Academy Administration

She read the letter in confusion. I didn't apply there. I've never even heard of Beacon Academy. She turned the letter over, but before she could read it, her master came back in.

"What is that?"

"A letter."

"To?"

"Me, I think."

"Impossible." He walked over and swiped it out of her hand. Her read the letter with haste and noticed the recipient of the letter. He crumpled it up and threw it across the room.

"Impossible. You're not going and that's that." He stormed off again in anger. "You better be ready for tomorrow," he said in the distance.

She went over to the crumpled up letter and read the back.

Blake Belladonna

...

"Tell us why you're here!"

"And why should I do that?" The man slapped her in the face.

"Because. You barged in on our poker game, severely injured many of my men, and you didn't even have an appointment."

"Oh that's cute, you guys offer appointments. Man, your leader must be a real bitch." Another man in the room hit her in the gut with the butt of his gun.

"Enough!" As she stood up, he grabbed her by the cheeks. "Listen here blondie, you treat us with respect. You have no right to say that stuff her, you have no right to even be here so you should get the hell out of here or I will end you." As he pulled away from her face, he ripped off a little piece of hair which she saw in his hand.

"Oh, I think it's you who will end." She gave him a smirk and then her eyes turned red. She was being held captive by two men who were holding her arms. She pulled her arms in towards her body which caused the two guys to ram into each other. She then kicked them both to the other side of the room where her weapon was located. All of the other men in the room pulled out their weapons and started to pursue her.

One guy took a low swing at her and she dove right over the blade. She landed right behind him and knocked him to the ground with a swipe to his feet. The next two had machine guns and were lighting up the place. She quickly leaped out of the way of their bullets and hid behind a metal pillar. Against the wall, she spotted two small pipes and grabbed them. She revealed herself to the gunners and started running at them. They fired away and she used various flips and rolls to get to them unharmed. As she neared them, she did a barrel flip towards them to knock them to the floor. They landed on both sides of her and swung the pipes into their nuts. She looked up and saw her weapon. She ran towards it and more men put themselves in between her and her weapon. She easily made her way through them with punches and kicks to the face and nuts.

As she threw the last guy to the wall, she walked to her weapon in joy. She reached out her hand, but then she was suddenly knocked back. She got up and saw one last guy standing there with a hammer.

"Ah finally, you guys are giving me a challenge."

"I don't think so sweetheart." He ran at her swinging his hammer around his body. She jumped over him and grabbed onto the swinging hammer. She looked at him and he looked at her. She began to put her weight into the hammer which brought him off the ground. She then regained her stance on the ground and threw the hammer to the other side of the room. He hit the wall with such force that he barely stood up. But as he tried to stand up, he saw the hammer flying right at him and nailed him in the gut. She knew he was done and resumed to retrieve her weapon. She grabbed the guns and put them on her arms. After reuniting with her counterpart, she walked back to the last guy and squashed his nuts with her boot.

"Where is he?"

Squeakily, "I don't know. He never tells us anything."

" I seriously doubt that." She pressed down even harder.

"Alright, alright. He's at the club on 8th Avenue."

"Thank you for your kind service." She removed her boot from his nuts and kicked him right through the wall.

She walked over to where his body was to see where she could go, but saw something hanging out of his jacket. She picked it up and read it out loud.

-Beacon Academy Administration

She was super excited, but was confused at the same time.

"Who's this for?" She turned the note over. Yang Xiao Long.

Yang opened her eyes and saw the sun reflecting off the walls in her room. She got out of bed and stretched. As she brought her arms down, she looked to her partner who was still in bed. She was sitting up with her eyes in her hands.

"Hey, Blake, are you okay?" She looked up at Yang, her eyes red and full of tears.

"No."
