"She left me." That's all you could think about. There was another thing that entered your mind as you laid in the solace of your room, but you would prefer not having that thought floating around in your head. You can hear your father pacing around outside your room. It's the same everyday; He'll pace around for about five minutes, give a sigh, place his hand on the door knob, and then chicken out. See?! You can use your other senses too! She would… Don't! Don't think about her.
'But she left you.' You really hate that voice in your head.
Shut up
'She ran away.'
Shut up.
'She probably went back to that man.'
No! She would never that! Shut Up!
'She. Never. Loved. You.'
SHUT UP!
Your good hand, the only one left, slams into the vase beside your bed, sending it, along with the flowers in it, crashing to the ground.
The small sense of pain you feel does nothing to distract you from the storm inside.
Your dad finally comes rushing in but you can barely even make out his face through the flood of tears.
"It hurts." It can barely even be considered a whisper, almost a thought, but he hears it either way. And he knows that you're not talking about your arm. Your lift your face to try and look at him.
"Dad it hurts."
His arms wrap around you. For a moment, you're just a little girl. Someone who is terrified of everything and is looking for protection in your father's arms.
…
Hours turn into days.
Days to weeks.
Weeks to months.
Your new arm came in shortly after Ruby left. It was a small relieve from the seemingly never ending surplex of people that would come leave you. It felt weird at first but it was light and allowed you to feel things so that was a plus. After a couple of days you forgot it wasn't your real arm...But then you would touch it and the cold sensation of metal would bring you back to reality.
It's summer now, and you feel almost like your old self. Almost. You're still haunted by the feeling of abandonment and you can tell from the mirror that your eyes have lost that playfulness that once filled them. News had come from Ruby that she was in Haven with Weiss and the remaining members of team JNPR. And your father had suggested you meet up with them. But you have something you have to do before that. Ruby had found Weiss and now you have to find your partner.
You had made to new version of Ember Celica. You named it Ember Shadow. Your clothes are packed and you're ready to go. Your father stares at you from the house and you know what he's thinking. But you have no time to listen to the man who let his partner leave. You turn to the forest surrounding your house and take your first step. You have no idea where she might have gone but you have people who are willing to help you.
And your first stop is Beacon.
So... I kind of lost inspiration for other RWBY story which is why I wrote this one all the way before I posted the prologue so... Enjoy. I'll update soon.
