Hello everyone. Whether you be new audience or old audience returning to see what im doing. Welcome. This is my brand new story "Wishes from beyond Space and Time," which will feature *clears throat* the wholly unoriginal RWBY high school AU, White rose, Bumblebee, and some cool OCs (at least I think so) later on. Although if you've found this, I assume you already know that from the story description and such, so without further ado let's get this started.

Chapter 1a: Ruby Rose

Today was a day like any other, the light streaming into the room through the window, the alarm clock blaring auditory death. Ruby however was not one to need the alarm and turned it off immediately. The alarm was more of a formality; maybe even just a reminder that she had to wake her sister up. So she got her uniform on quickly and ran over to Yang's room only to find, much to Ruby's annoyance, that her sister decided not to be predictable and was already up.

So she walked down the stairs with a sigh as the building filled with the toxic smell of burnt toast. This was the norm for them but that didn't mean Ruby liked it.

"Good morning sis," Yang said as Ruby sat down and took a piece of toast. It was then swiftly covered with more than enough butter and some cinnamon sugar.

"You really should learn to make something that's edible before I add stuff," Ruby mumbled between bites. Yang just rolled her eyes as they ate. Mornings like this, where Yang wakes herself up, always were quiet.

Soon they were finished eating and Yang drove them to school on her bike. Ruby got off and said bye to Yang who still needed to go park her ride. This was fairly common for them because they didn't have the same homeroom period. Unlike her sister Ruby was incredibly smart, which allowed her to skip some grades, landing her in the same grade as all of her friends. Yang would always joke that her homeroom had all the cool kids in it. This was always countered by Ruby's singular bad pun; her homeroom had Weiss, the singular most "cool," kid in all of Beacon High

Weiss, the so called "Ice Princess," was Ruby's best friend, besides Yang of course. Weiss was the captain of Beacon's fencing team, having lead them through the current season without as much as a spot on their record. Not to mention that she was also filthy rich but that was something of lesser importance to Ruby. Due to their last names being so close to each other Ruby and Weiss were always next to each other in classes and worked together on group projects when they came up. On top of that, Ruby was fairly certain, Weiss actually tolerated her. An achievement most people of Ruby's hyperactive disposition couldn't manage.

Today however was one of those boring days at school. No projects, no fun new things to discover, nothing. Whereas her friend was completely dedicated to fencing Ruby was spastic about her free time. Some days she was a runner, sometimes she was in plays, once even she won a card game tournament. She could never find something that truly excited her though. This lead to many boring days in class becoming art time for Ruby. She would draw herself as some sort of fantasy hero and imagine herself fighting bad guy, saving the day, you know hero stuff. She occasionally did Weiss to when she wasn't looking. She could actually see Weiss being a hero with that rapier of hers.

"Hey Ruby you dolt. The bell rung it's time to go home," Weiss said after Ruby just sat there.

"Oh is it? Thanks Weiss!"

Weiss let out an audible sigh "What am I going to do with you," she questioned.

"Think me getting lost in though is adorable?" Ruby said with a hopeful gleam in her eye

"No." Cold and short. Exactly what Ruby should have expected. With that Weiss left. Ruby then hurried to pack up and left herself. In her rush Ruby ran straight into an old lady. They both fell over causing Ruby's notes to scatter over the floor. She quickly hurried to gather them up and then helped the other woman up.

"Thank you my dear," the lady said with a smile. At least ruby thought a smile. She couldn't tell under that woman's hood if she was smiling or not.

"No it's my fault. I should be asking for your forgiveness," Ruby replied being courteous to the lady

"No need. You did something most people your age wouldn't have. For that I'd like to give you something," the lady then held out her hand and opened it to reveal a ring. It was a black metal ring with a red jewel inside. Inside what was probably thematically appropriate ruby was a silver rose engraving. It was essentially the most beautiful piece of jewelry that ruby had ever seen.

"I- I don't know what to say. Umm. Thank you," Ruby managed to stammer out. When no reply came Ruby realized that the lady was gone already. Almost as if she was never there to begin with.

That was when Ruby got the text from Yang that she had already left; she had a match to go to so she couldn't wait any longer. Cursing herself Ruby put the ring on, gathered her stuff, and began the walk back to their place.

It was 5:07 PM when she arrived at the intersection a block from their apartment. This she remembered distinctly. The sun was setting fast which always made Ruby nervous. It didn't help that the road was empty and eerily quiet at this time of day. Most people go out of their way to not be around here walking for that very reason; Ruby herself included in that group. But for some reason she just gravitated here anyways. Then she heard it, a howl like that of a wolf, a scream for help, followed immediately by the scream of a dying person. Curiosity getting the better of her she looked around the corner only to see something that would be described as the stuff of nightmares. It was a large black wolf creature with a white mask. Currently it was chewing on the entrails of the man it had just killed. Then it looked right at Ruby, causing her to fall to the ground. Like any normal girl she froze up completely as the hulking creature slowly walked toward her.

There was but one question going through her mind. One terrible thought playing on repeat

"Am I going to die?"

Here we are everyone; the point at which we realize that I am a terrible person. Not for that cliffhanger. But for the fact that unless I change what I was going to do we wouldn't see what happens here until chapter 5. I don't think I'm quite that evil though.

Anyways as you can plainly see I could use some practice at not sucking as a writer. So please Review the crap out of me. Tell me what I did wrong; tell me what I did right. Have no fear of repercussions. After all this is fanfiction. Offense does not belong on this site.

As always have a good time everybody.
