Chapter One: The Flapping Wings of a Butterfly
Snow?
Why the heck was I surrounded by….snow?
The last time I checked, I was the middle Brooklyn deep in that New York heat and now? Now all of that was replaced by the cool crisp air of the perfect Autumn day that left me feeling almost invigorated by the change of pace.
Unfortunately said change shouldn't even be possible. Nobody goes from heat wave and buildings to cool temps, snow, and being stuck in the middle of a freaking forest in less than two seconds!
Sadly I only had about ten-ish seconds to consider my new environment before the oh so beautiful Murphy's Law went into effect.
I mean why else would I be getting chased by multiple freakishly huge black wolves?!
ROAWWRRRR!
Crash
I looked back only to fall forward as one of the giant monstrosities lunged forward sinking its claws into the tree to the left of me, then completely smashed its way through the assumedly two hundred year old tree trunk like a toothpick….
Okay…
What the fuck?!
What the actual fuck?!
I scrambled back to my feet, my legs pumping as hard as it could to get through the snowy environment.
I didn't care that my legs were starting to hurt, I didn't care that my lungs were starting to burn. Those feelings could be ignored. My fear was my fuel and that will carry me to succu-
"OMPH!"
And then the expected happened.
"GAHH!" One of those ugly wolves managed to land a hit on me. I felt like my lower back got ignited in flames before inertia finally took my body.
I felt myself floating in the air before cold and pain was felt in my shoulder as I crashed hard into the hard pack snow. My body had to at least bounce a few times across the snow before I came to what felt like a rolling stop.
Lucky for me I rolled onto my back, unluckily every fucking thing hurts. All the pain throughout my body made it hard to localize the pain. Tch, the one time I actually close my eyes for something useful it doesn't work!
I took a deep breath and-
"G-ugh." The sound escapes my lips unconsciously as I winced from the pain, and to say it was pain would've been an understatement. More like someone stabbing me repeatedly with a knife heated to a few hundred degrees type bad.
So I could guess that one of my ribs were cracked or possibly broken and as if this situation wasn't worse enough it felt like something was coming up my thro-
*Bleh!*
I turned my head to the side to spit out what came up and when I finally opened my eyes I wasn't surprised to see what it was.
Blood.
"G-Great time to get an internal injury idiot." I gasped out in anger. This was even worse than what I previously imagined. If I was bleeding internally it meant I was now on a hard time limit to get help and get the fuck out of here!
Grooowwwwwl
My eyes shot wide open at the low but loud growl nearby. My eyes frantically darted around trying to spot the creatures after me and finally on the far edge of a clearing I didn't even realize I was in, the pack of beasts emerged slowly from the treeline.
I just had to tempt the goddamn universe right?!
You know what? Screw this! Screw all of this! I wasn't going to die here! I felt my muscles resisting my want to move, probably was a good thing since my brain didn't exactly knew how fucked my body was but eventually will power won over as I slowly pushed myself up into a sitting position.
The pain was crazy, but for now it was dull. My vision swam for a bit before finally I could see clearly and...
Grrrrr
Why weren't they focused on me? I was right here!
And just as I was about to yell, (and potentially get my ass killed) I realized that the pack of wolves weren't focused on me...
Yeah you stupid wolves, they lost track of me and was focused on- on….
A flash of red immediately pulled my attention causing me to pause and look towards the middle of the clearing. Oh great I guess Death had me imagining someone standing in the middle of the clearing I once again didn't even know I was in.
Still I felt like I seen this person before. It was weird. The red cloak, hoodie thing...the red cloak….
Wait one the wolves was going after them shit! I had to help them, but I couldn't even help myself….
My body was too damaged and broken. It didn't help that in order to help I had to cover a distance of a hundred plus meters.
But I couldn't just watch them die….
But if I spoke the wolves would know their prey was here and alive and ready to be eaten.
I closed my eyes as I saw one of the wolves leap into the air for the person.
"I'm sorry." I whispered to myself.
Bang
That- That was the distinct sound of a .50 cal sniper rifle going off! It was hard to explain but I've heard that specific model discharging before…
That metallic clang after each shoot reminded me of- of…..
My eyes opened then widen as I saw one dead creature on the snow and then widening further when I saw a freaking person fall from the bloody sky!
As it turns out it was a girl, and by appearance was probably a year younger than me. She was absolutely beautiful and what the-
S-She was holding-
Her red gun turned into Crescent Rose….
Why did she have Crescent Rose?!
Wait a second….
The red cloak. The red tinted black hair. The gothic dress.
Welp, I'm dead. I mean I had to be because that was Ruby freaking Rose swinging around her scythe like nobody's business, and on top of that she was real. Not some weird 3D effect real. I mean blatant flesh and blood type real. That only further proved that I was already dead, but wait if that was Ruby, didn't that mean the wolves were….they were.
Beowolves…
Yeah, lemme run that line in my head again…
I was chased, injured and nearly killed, by a pack of Beowolves that were actually fighting Ruby at the moment. Wow, why did I suddenly feel so dizzy? into a clearing by beowolves that were now going to fight Ruby Rose. Why did I suddenly felt so dizzy?
*Thud*
Huh? Something landed next to me. Hmm, it was a fading black limb….interesting….
Oh look Ruby was done and oh wow, she was doing her iconic pose from the Red Trailer….
Holy fuck I was in the Red Trailer!
I was-
*cough*
*cough*
Shit- Everything hurts. Everything was becoming…..numb…
Like if, "Oh no."
I flopped back onto back hearing a loud squishing sound as I did. In all my stupidity I completely forgot about the injury on my back. And while the fear and danger kept the adrenaline pumping through my body, the danger passed and so did my bodies need to stay conscious.
Unfortunately, it was being compounded with blood lost which was doing a hell of a j-job fucking with my precep- perception of things. I mean I didn't even remember my back injury until now for pete's sake.
*cough*
Welp that explains a lot. The blood I tasted on my lips, why I felt so cold, why I was feeling so damn... tired. My head weakly rolled to the side as I watch the snow turn red from the only thing keeping me alive.
Wow, I-I didn't believe it. After everything I went through, after everything I've done, after everything I couldn't do, I was just going to die out here in the middle of nowhere.
My fingers dug weakly into the snow as all my frustrations finally came to a head. Tears were falling from my eyes causing my already fading vision to become blurred.
I was going to die.
I couldn't….I-I…..didn't want to go! I had too much to live for!
My family and friends were waiting for me, back on Earth! I couldn't just give...up….
'But letting go feels so right…. T-The darkness feels so welcoming now….' Those were the thoughts that swirled around in my brain and honestly I- I couldn't….even disagree with them...errm….with myself .
Sometimes giving up was just the right thing to d-
"OH NO!"
Huh?
Suddenly above me, appearing in a whirlwind of rose petals was Ruby herself. Tears were forming in her eyes as she covered her mouth in horror.
She looked so damn beautiful…..and yet had those words ever left my mouth I could easily see Yang suplexing me off of Beacon's cliffs.
Soooo yeah… I'll just steer clear of that line of thinking thank you very much.
Nodding weaking to myself, I continued watching Ruby and almost laughed at the open worry she was displaying for me. I get it, she had a slight hero complex, but why were her lips moving?
…
Oh shit she was speaking to me. She was...she was going to heart broken. It wasn't her fault. She couldn't had known that I was here. Even so I saw the tears began to fall from eyes as she kneeled next to me.
Tch, how ironic it was that I was going to die in another world when all my life I've been told that you had to die to get sent to another world. Granted those worlds was believed to be either Heaven or Hell but hey I was in neither at the moment. I guess that was good for something….
Looking up at her, I did something I knew I would do if I ever came to my enviable end and that was to smile.
I gave her a little smile as I stared up into her surprised silver eyes, which in person were almost hypnotic to look at. So despite myself I couldn't help it.
"W-Wow…..you…..have….silver eyes…" Hehehehe, suck on that Ozpin.
The last thing I heard surprisingly enough before darkness took me was her yell. But for some reason as death took me I felt warm. That's when I realized that…..I….was….still…..s-s..miling….
And that wraps of the first chapter. This idea for a story like this have been bugging me for a while as I read other OC stories and I thought "Well, what the hell. What if there was a story where the OC blabs their mouth about certain shit and then because of it shit just hits the fan." Well this is my attempt at that. Anyways, giving me some feedback on how trash this chapter is would be nice and I guess that's it. See you guys next time.
