Author's Note:

I've been working on this fic for a while and I have finally got it done. I started writing this between volumes 2 and 3. Because I have been working on this for so long, the quality at the beginning is actually significantly worse than at the end. I'd go back and re-write but it's been so long already. This was supposed to be a very short fanfic but it kind of just kept going. What was supposed to be the length of the fic became the length of the prologue.

Also, originally this was written as one long story but I decided to chop it up to be less of a burden for the reader. However, the entire story is written so I'll be posting a chapter a day just to get it out. Hopefully I didn't brake it apart that awkwardly.

"It won't be that bad." I I respond regretfully. The rest of my team are giving me a hard time. It's not even my fault that I'm leaving. It's my father's. Unfortunately when the CEO of the Schnee Dust Company sends a private airship, you don't really have a choice in the matter. Even if you are his daughter.

"But you're the one that's been complaining about your father." Ruby responds. It is true though. My father is SO thick headed. And racist. I swear every other sentence out of his mouth is something overwhelmingly insulting towards the Faunus.

"Yeah, and we were hoping we could spend spring break as a team." Yang says trying to convince me.

"It would be nice to spend the vacation together." Blake adds.

"I agree but there is nothing I can do." I say reluctantly. "My father wants me home. We already tried convincing him. Multiple times. I would love to spend my vacation with all of you but it's just not in the cards."

Before anyone can respond a voice comes from behind me on the airship. "Miss Schnee. We are ready to depart."

"Well I guess I have to go. I hope you have a good spring break without me." My final words to my friends before I leave.

"Bye." My friends gave their farewells.

Stepping onto the airship, I quickly get settled. I put Myrtenaster in a case and store it with my other belongings. It's a nice case. A shame I don't get to use it that often.

Sitting down on the padded seats, I start to relax. I just sit and enjoy the silence. Not that any of my teammates are particularly loud, actually Ruby and Yang kind of are, but just being alone with my thoughts is a luxury I have not had in awhile. It's so comfortable that I fall asleep.

My wake up is not as relaxing. Mostly due to the fact that it is caused by a rather violent jolt from the plane. I look around to see what's wrong. As far as I can see, nothing is. I do however see the co-pilot rushing out of the bathroom.

Minutes pass without any startling problems and so I attempt to go back to sleep. My nap doesn't last long however, as I am quickly woken by what seemed to be a sudden dive then sudden ascension. At this point I decide to head to the cockpit and see what is wrong.

"Is everything alright gentlemen?" I ask. The copilot turns around to face me but the pilot remains facing forward.

"Everything is fine Miss Schnee." The copilot answers. "Just a bit of turbulence."

"Are you sure? That didn't feel like turbulence to me." I question further.

"I assure you Miss Schnee." The copilot says while taking off his hat. He's a Faunus, I note. The hat must have been covering his horns.

"Very well then." I give a smile and leave the cockpit.

As soon as I am out of sight of the pilots, I take out my scroll and start dialling. Sending out to the policemen in both Atlas and Vale, my father, and my team.

I'm in trouble. Send help.

Horns. I know my father well enough to know he would never hire a Faunus as one of his personal pilots. I don't know if the main pilot is against me or not but I don't know if that even matters. At this point my plan is hide in the bathroom and hope this isn't some kind of assassination attempt. The bathroom is at the rear of the airship and therefore as far away from danger as possible. Or so I hope.

Practically running to the bathroom, I get there in no time. I open the door quickly and I'm thrown to the ground. For a second I panic, as one would expect after something big topples on top of you. After a moment I regain my composure before attempting to get back up. I struggle for a few moments to get this thing off me. Whatever it is, it's heavy and awkwardly shaped. Once I stand up I finally notice what fell on me.

It's a man.

"I was wondering how long it would take you to stumble onto your old pilot." A voice came from behind me. I feel a hand on my shoulder and a blade touching my back. Before I can protest he's turned me around to see him face to face. It's the copilot. Scared doesn't even begin to describe my current emotion. Why didn't I unpack Myrtenaster.

"He was very uncooperative. Wouldn't even let my buddy fly the plane." The copilot continues. "I'll admit my friend isn't the best pilot but you'd think he'd give up the controls BEFORE I removed his innards."

I try to back up but it's useless. My back is against the wall and this psycho is blocking any method of escape with his sword.

"But, now I need to figure out what to do with you." He starts moving towards me. "You are so lucky that I'm not allowed to kill you. At least I know something terrible is going to happen to you. There is no way they'd want you alive for no reason."

I try to run but he is blocking my path. I try to push past him but he manages to spray me with some kind of gas. I'm out before I hit the ground.
