Chapter One
Memory tear's
Snow drifted along a forest lost for civilization. The moon shined brightly onto the frozen earth. A little girl wearing red and black stood by a stone by a cliff side. She felt tear's gently run down her cheek as she placed her hand onto the stone. 'Mother...' The girl simply thought. Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder, she gazed up to see a man with grey hair.
"Ruby," he simply said her name until his gaze turned soft. "Come along." The girl hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Yes, uncle Crow." Ruby slowly walked toward the black S.U.V, only turning back toward the stone once.
"Crow." Her uncle looked back to see a man in black. Crow narrowed his eyes before turning back to his niece.
"Ruby, I'll be there in a moment," He noticed the girl was confused. "I have to deal with a traitor." Crow turned his head and growled. Ruby nodded, not sure what he meant, she opened the car door, climbing into the vehicle and shut the door. Crow turned toward the man and began walking toward him.
"Crow, listen~" Crow cut him off with a punch to the jaw. "You son of a bitch! You betrayed my family because of your arrogance," Crow raised his voice. "My sister is dead because of your mistake by letting the bastard live! You should've killed him! Now my niece is an orphan, Ozpin!" The man looked up at him, his eyes full of guilt.
"Crow, I'm sorry, I didn't know he would escape." Crow looked back at him, his eyes blaze in fury. He grabbed Ozpin by the collar.
"Because you didn't care he escaped! All you ever cared about was your glory, you let my brother in law die for your own self gain!" Ozpin didn't flinch or cower in Crow's anger. He simply glared back.
"I didn't let him escape! And I didn't let Ruby's father die, you know that!" Crow glared back before he shoved him into the snow. He walked back to the car.
"Stay the hell away from Ruby, if I hear that you are anywhere near Ruby, I will kill you." Ozpin got up to see the S.U.V leave the snowy alter. Ruby looked back at the man in the black suit.
"Uncle Crow, who was that?" Crow looked in the mirror as his niece had a curious look on her face. He didn't know how to answer her question.
"Never you mind, it's adult business." Ruby had a disappointed look on her face mixed with grief and sorrow. Crow noticed her face, it pained his heart that his own kin was there to witness her mothers murder. 'She lost her father when she was just a baby, now she lost her mother and her brother right before her eyes. Dammit!' He tried his very best to keep his anger in check.
"Listen Ruby," the little girl heard him. "You need to get some sleep, I know it's difficult, your mother called me when you father died." Ruby didn't want to hear him talk about her mother. But she started to feel tired.
"Alright, uncle Crow." Ruby yawned before she shut her eyes as she fell into deep sleep.
