Preface
"The world we live in is a one of Darkness, it is cruel and unforgiving. Some choose to pretend that these elements of daily life simple do not exist. Those among them are content to go about their daily lives oblivious to the great wonders of our world. However while these few choose to ignore the Danger of our world we choose to face it head on. We are the first and the last line of defense, we rage against the darkness, beating it back to the far corners of this world. We must be vigilant for if we fall our race will be doomed once more into the dark. We are the Guardians, the Hunters and Huntresses who keep back the dark" (Excerpt from: From Dust We Come: A Introduction into the life and legacy of The Hunters and Huntresses by Josef Rader').
Chapter 1: Good Morning Beacon Academy (one week after Initiation)
'Where is it where is it! Oh no I had it last night and I can't find it!' Ruby Rose thought as she frantically tore her bedroll apart, packing and repacking searching for her lost item 'oh dear God what if I left it out somewhere, what if someone got a hold of it! What if….she somehow ended up with it?, Alright Get a grip Ruby take a deep breath I'm sure it's around here somewhere everyone still asleep just be quiet and look around for it. Maybe check the pillow case ag-'and then she caught a faint silvery glint out of the corner of her eye. Following her gaze her eyes came upon the glittering cover of her lost book. She heaved a heavy sigh of relief which instantly caught in her throat as she realized that her diary keeper of all her secrets was cradled in one of her sister's arms.
"Yaaaaaaannnng!" Ruby exclaimed not bothering with stealth anymore. When Yang's form remained motionless save her quiet snoring Ruby huffed in annoyance, if there was one thing she would never understand it would be her sisters' almost superhuman ability to fall asleep anywhere and anytime and stay that way until someone was unlucky enough to awaken her. Rising from her own packed bedroll Ruby crossed the room, ignoring the glares of the other groggy Academy students (whom unlike her sister were awoken by her shouts and who were now angrily tossing their own disgruntled mumbles and gestures her way before they rolled over and returned to their slumber ) she marched straight towards her goal coming to a stop just above the outstretched form of her sister. Despite her rage Ruby had to admire the relaxed way in which her sister slept, arms and legs splayed in odd directions while the one that held her diary stayed tight to her chest, her mouth hung open a small drizzle of drool 'Ew!' was falling down the side of her face to join the lake of its peers next to her long blonde hair. Utterly unconcerned with the fact that over thirty people were laying within spitting distance of her, and utterly unaware that her sister was glaring daggers at her.
As Ruby stood over her sister fuming she suddenly had flashes of her childhood growing up with Yang, all the times that she had unwittingly awoken her expecting her normally sweet sister and instead coming face to face with a very angry and incredibly agitated grizzly bear which, when she was little, Ruby and claimed had been some sort of demon that taken her sisters form. "um maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all" she whispered, however as she became aware of the fact that this might actually be a very bad idea she saw a small smirk appear on her sisters still sleeping face. 'Well all good things must come to an end best to just do it and get it over with she deserves it for pulling something like this'' Ruby crouched down next to her sister ready to give another yell as she placed a hand on the book praying that if she moved fast enough she could get the book and be halfway across the castle before Yang realized what had happened.
Taking one last shaky breath she cried out "Yaaann-" only to be interrupted "Ruby!" she froze as the terse whisper cut her off. That cold tone and accent… after a week of trudging through the woods with the owner of that voice she could recognize it instantly and her bones chilled as her heart began to skip. Shakily Ruby lifted her gaze from her sister's face and into the Blue eyed terror that stood fuming over top them. Giving her best sheepish smile Ruby tried to be friendly "uh he Hey Weiss how's it hanging?"
Weiss who stood there in her ice blue nightgown and bare feet didn't say a word instead her frown deepened and somehow her eyes got even colder and when she spoke her words sent chills down Ruby's spine "do you have any idea what time it is?" Ruby froze as she sent a shaky glance at the clock that stood in the center of the room 'Oh Shit it's that early?" she then began to realize what she had mistaken for sunlight was in fact bright beams of moonlight. Ruby's heart began to beat faster asshe suddenly felt even smaller under Weiss's cold stare. Chuckling weakly she tried to smile up at the young women who seemed to both excite her and simultaneously make her cower in fear when she was angry. "um well you know what they say the early bird catches the worm hehe heh" She said realizing instantly she had made a mistake as Weiss leaned in so their faces were only a few inches apart sending her heart to pound even harder. Weiss's hate filled blue eyes held Ruby's fear lined silver for what seemed like hours before Weiss finally broke the silence. "You. are. so. dead." and with these words Weiss talked Ruby knocking them both into the sleeping form of Yang.
