Wassup everyone, If you are here because of an update, it's not a new chapter, it's me rewriting the first one because I was very unhappy after rereading the chapter, and I really just wanted to fix it now that I got my computer working (was a graphics card issue RIP my GTX950, had to replace it).

Anyways here we go, and as a reminder make sure to review any criticism, as I know I am not the best writer.

Thanks to Genetools for letting me use one of his Ocs, but I'll keep who it is quiet for now. And thanks to the story My Turn for giving me insperation to write again.

Note: I don't own RWBY, that right belongs to Rooster Teeth!

You know those days where the sun is shining brightly, but for whatever god forsaken reason it's raining? Yeah those are my favorite days. There's just something about enchanting watching the rain fall, while the sun is beating down. Just some how seems to make my day every time, makes the world peaceful, as you realize that weird shit like this happens a lot yet, no one seems to notice. It's just relaxing. I look out my car window at this phenomenon just sitting there for god knows how long, before deciding it would be best to head home as all my college classes have ended.

I look in the rear-view mirror to make sure no one is behind me, don't want to hit anyone and get sued, you know? Seeing as no one was in my way, the parking lot surprisingly empty, I pullout of my parking spot, and drive through the lot, enjoying the moment. I pull up to the stop sign separating my school from the main road, as I turn...on to the quiet road. Huh weird, it's a beautiful day besides the rain why's no one on the road? I continue on my way preparing for the 30 minute drive to my apartment I share with my friend from high school. I go to turn on the radio..only to notice it kept saying no signal...weird, I'll have to look at that later, been awhile since I used the aux cord, might as well use it. Hmm choices choices, ah this one will work.

I begin to roll down the windows, to enjoy the day as the rain has stopped, and the sweet sweet guitar begins, I begin to nod my head along, "Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River~" I sing. What better way to enjoy a country area, than with one of the most classic songs dedicated to country roads. What better way to enjoy a rode than to go 60 mph on a road, while it's 70 degrees. I take a deep breathe and enjoy the absolute beautiful moment.

RumbleRumbleRumbleRumbleRumble

That's weird, never heard this car make that noise before, it wasn't making this noise this morning. I begin to look for places to pull off, because I'm not risking my car breaking down, because I was an idiot and thought I could make it home, never noticed that this road was this boring before, that might be because no ones on the road, but still.

RumbleRumbleRumbleRumbleRumble

There it is again, what is that, it's driving me fucking insane! Well that ominous driveway looks good enough, I sharply turn into it noticing how long it was, but brushed it off.I turn the car off, and look at the trees surrounding me. Now I grew up visiting my grandmother in the Poconos, so I'm used to forests and woods. But this area just gave me the absolute creeps. I make my way to the trunk of my 2000 Audi A4 and open it looking for my flashlight I haven't seen since I got the car in April.

"Alright, now where did I leave you?" I say to myself as I shuffle around in the trunk. "Ah there you are" I pull out the flashlight I was looking for but it wouldn't turn on.

"Annnd the son of a bitch won't turn on, perfect. I hit the light a few time across my palm, then looking at the bulb when it wouldn't turn on, and of course it shined in my eyes. After my moment of blindness I walk around my car looking for any abnormal features, when I noticed that the driver side hub cap...was busted? Huh, that wasn't broken this morning, and it was brand new. Damn. Doesn't look like it'll fully hinder my ability to drive home, and I can fix it when I get there. That's when I noticed how dark it got. Now I'm hearing whispering, now there's walking behind me. You know what, I should probably get in the car before my paranoia takes over completely.

I get in the car, putting my keys in the ignition and turning. Just fucking peachy. you know that sound when you start your car, and it tries so, so hard to turn on. But he little engine couldn't. Yeah that's what was happening, now my panic is settling in. Where there always masks in the woods with red eyes, didn't think so. I try turning my car one more time before it FUCKING FINALLY STARTED, and bolted out of this driveway back to the main road and pull out and into the main road, not paying attention to the semi truck speeding at me. The truck slammed into the back of my tiny ass car, making it and me spin into a very deep ditch.

"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc-" I began to wheeze out, still winded from the initial hit, rolling towards the deep ditch, "-cccccccccccc-" I swear in that moment time slowed down as I crashed into the ditch.

"-ccckkkkkkkk" I finally finish,... wait this isn't a car, this is a dark room. Heh memes, but seriously where am I? "Hello" I call out

"Welcome, are you enjoying your time here?" a voice called from the darkness, as the lights suddenly turned on, "Now I am aware that you must be in some shock after...recent events-" damn right I am, "-so I'll allow you a few moments to gather your thoughts."

Okay what do I remember, I pulled into a drive way, looked for the issue on my car, got freaked out due to my own paranoia, decided to leave, so I wouldn't have a panic attack. I left to get on the road, rather quickly, didn't look to my left as I pulled out, and got T-boned, or would it be reverse L'd? The hit sent my car rolling towards a rather convenient ditch, that was very deep, and... I died, HOLY SHIT I FUCKING DIED! O-okay deep breathes Colin, deep breathes I-I can't have died right? I mean hopefully that truck had a dash-cam, because that crash was not his fault. "P-please continue, before I go into complete panic"

"Ah, then we are ready then" the voice called from my left, I look and HOLY SHIT THAT'S BUDDHA, is this going to be like My Turn? Is that the Wheel of Reincarnation?this is like my turn isn't it. "I am Buddha, I takes souls such as yourself, and give them a second chance, if the Gods believe you deserve it, And-"

"So where would you go if you didn't deserve a second chance?" I abruptly cut him off, before slapping a hand on my mouth. Wait did he just sweat drop, excuse me what the fuck?

"You go to hell" he leveled me a glare, oof. "Now if you don't interrupt, I'll continue. You have been chosen to be reincarnated and we will use this wheel-" he pointed at the wheel. "- to decide where you will be reincarnated". Holy shit this is like My Turn, wait.. does this mean I can live Colt's dream of being Christina Hendricks bra? Don't worry Colt I will avenge you. "And since you and the previous guy like the same stuff, I don't have to change all that much." I looked at the board to see some shows that I liked, RWBY sticking out...as did Christina Hendricks bra...Oh and Infinite Stratos, that might be interesting (wink), wait why is the wheel spinning

"Uhh, not that I'm trying to complain, but couldn't you have given me a little more time to register the information you gave me?" the wheel still spinning around and around and, you get the point.

"No." Huh, short, I turn my gaze to the wheel watching the slices of pie go by. I like pie, I should've had some before dying. Ooooh lookie I may get to avenge Colt after all, oh wait nevermind, Ooooh Infinite Stratos that could be really fun...oh no.

"No, not RWBY" I mumble. Hey look just because I love the show, and the fanfictions, doesn't mean I want to live there, there are waaaay to many risks, and I am way to lazy to try and adapt.

"Well then, since the last guy was a farmer, what should we make you hmm?". Please don't make me a first year my life right now is already making me a Gary Stu, "How...about a lumberjack"...what

"What." My voiced copied my thoughts

"Enjoy" he says before a sense of nausea hits me...OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

A cool breeze tickles my nose waking me up, though my head is still hurting, very alike to a hangover. "Holy shit, Buddha drugged me. The fuck Buddha." I slowly rise up from where I was lying down, and sit up. "Hmm, at least I kept my clothes" I was still wearing my lucky plaid hoody, blue jeans, my timbs, and a brown cap.I look around from where I was sitting, only to see trees, trees and ooh look trees. I stand up and begin rummaging through my pockets.

"Phone gone, keys gone, leather wallet...completely empty, how am I suppose to know where I'm going?" Annnd "Ow, rude" I say into the void of trees as a map and compass hit me in the face. Funny, I open the map and began looking over it. "Oh funny you have jokes." In the area called Emerald Forest, there's this little dot saying 'you are currently here' like those markers in malls.

I sigh as I look and measure the distance from me and the nearest settlement, that was not even named on the map."5 miles, fuck me. Perfect." I sighed as I pullout the compass, "Alright North East for 5 miles, definitely not gonna take me a few days.

I begin to walk North East for a solid HOUR, and it started to get dark. I just can't seem to get a lucky break today. Speak of the devil, I see smoke in the distance, and change my course towards it. There not too far, I can make it if I run. As I get closer, the smell of smoke and meat cooking reaches me, and I notice that the camp is in a small clearing, I enter. "Hello, anyone over here", the camp is empty...I don't like this feeling in my gut.

I hear cocking behind me, oh no..."Don't move" the person behind me said sternly...I recognize that voice...oh shit "Turn around slowly" the voice said again, and I followed, because I don't want to get shot...Holy SHIT I was right, IT'S QROW FUCKING BRANWEN, does this mean I stop him from saving Amber...oh no. "Now your going to tell me why I see you running towards our camp!"

"I-I just need directions, I'm kinda lost, and I'm trying to-to get to the nearest settlement." I respond, pretty quickly. "I just need help". I mean wouldn't you be scared if you saw someone holding a shotgun at you, and you know that they won't miss.

"Likely story, now your going to tell me why you really came running into our camp, before my finger gets sleepy, and you end up a bloo-" he tries to finish, before a feminine voice cuts him off.

"Qrow, put you gun down look at him, does he really look like he came here to kill us?" the voice began to yell as Amber Autumn come out of her hiding spot in the trees...now their whispering to each other "Qrow calm down, he looks my age, and I can't sense any aura on him, I think I'll be fine if I talk to him"

"Umm not to ah, rush you guys or anything, but I just want a place to rest before I head to a settlement." I call out trying to get their attention, "If it's an issue I'll just leave" I say before taking a few steps back "I don't mean any trouble." they both gave curious glazes.

"No, no it's alright, why don't you stay here and we can help you get to the nearest settlement tomorrow" she replied with a smile before sticking her hand out, "But we should introduce each other, Hi my names Amber what's yours?"

I reach out and shake her hand before answering "Coal, my name is Coal Black" I give her a smile, as I pull my hand back. Qrow was already making his way to the camp muttering something about "Dumbass 18 year old"

"Best we head to the camp" Amber said before giving me another smile.

"It would be good yes, that way I won't freeze to death before the grimm, get me" I sarcastically add, getting her to giggle... you know this may not be that hard after all.

AN: Oof,So, how's it going, what are you doing all the way down here.

Also, my real name is Colin, which I wanted to use, but since the whole color naming thing I just made Coal my name and since Black is the name for orphans I believe it allows Coal to have something to bullshit a back story with should be int resting

So in this chapter I died, met Buddha, met Qrow and Amber and I'm currently shaking up with them at their camp.

Anyways if your down here it meant you read the story, so review what you think I could improve on, and if you enjoyed, follow and favorite, lets me know if I should continue. And remember the only greeting that is acceptable, is Wassup.
