Helllllllllo. Its been a while hasn't it (if you are familar with my work) and i wanted to try something different. Welcome to the firs chapter of my first Rwby story. This wont be very long (cause the show isn't obviously) and may not go through the whole thing but hopefully you'll enjoy this.


Tired eyes scanned the desolate area that lay as far as the eye could see, which wasn't saying much considering that the radius was covered by a tarp surrounding the cage the individual was stuck in. even them the cage was surrounded by bandits with a savage bloodlust lead by a leader who had no qualms about killing anybody. What was it? Ahh yes a "survival of the fittest mentality", according to the drunk loudmouth that was Yang's uncle.

It was almost laughable if it wasn't so stupid. Trained since childhood to fight monsters, the creatures of Grimm only to be outnumbered and outmatched by those even more sinister, even then, they were rested and fresh, not weary from months of travel and being hunted by someone who hated you after being forced to flee from the only environment where you felt safe in order to protect those you loved.

Of course, she wouldn't have seen it that way, with the life they chose, but their destinies lay on different paths.

How did this happen….

If anything it began the very first day at Beacon. The day that friends were made and bonds were forged…. The day that love became the enemy.


"Oh I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me! This is the Best Day Ever!" Yang squealed with delight, engulfing her Younger sister in a hug that would make an Ursa feel jealous. That or they would pity the smaller silver eyed Huntress in training that was suffocating under her overexcited older sister 'Please stop…." she rasped hoarsely, barely able to get the words out

Yang let go almost immediately, but it was clear that it did nothing to exhaust her of her attitude. "But I'm so Proud of you!" She exclaimed, her purple eyes shining with joy

Ruby sighed. Though she loved her sister, her energy was starting to give Ruby a headache "Really sis…. It was nothing." She huffed her gaze sad and tired.

Yang of course didn't see it that way "What are you talking about?!" she laughed. Ruby was able to go from signal to Beacon in half the time it would normally take simply by fighting a known criminal "Everyone at Beacon is going to think you're the Bees Knees."

Ruby however didn't see it that way "I don't want to be the Bees Knees. I don't wasn't to be any types of knees." She whined, "I just want to be a normal girls with normal knees" she groaned looking downcast. It as all so overwhelming. Just 24 hours ago she was a student at Signal just doing what she trained to do. Now she was a girl going to one of the best academies in the world.

What's with you?!" Yang asked, though not in a disdainful manner "Aren't you excited?!" She asked not understanding her sister's demeanor

Ruby wanted to heave another sigh, but refrained from going so. "Of course I am!" she responded. How could she not be…? But she was also scared "Its just…. I got moved up ahead two years…. I don't want anyone to think I'm special."

Yang smiled gently, going over to her younger sister and putting an arm around her shoulder "but you are special" she whispered to Ruby. Ruby's eyes sparked with the praise causing Yang to smile wider, before she pulled her head away to look at a hologram of Glynda Goodwitch the vice headmaster of Beacon that began monologuing about Beacon Academy. However she soon tuned out the conversation and she scanned around the ship that was currently just moments away from docking. He eyes caught sight of Beacon shining in the distance and a smile tugged at her lips.

She didn't know what awaited her but she knew one thing. Beacon was going to be full of surprises


Later that day as Yang explored the Campus, she couldn't help but marvel at just how beautiful everything around her was. The main avenue where she and Ruby had been deposited really didn't do Beacon as much justice as one might be led to believe. Even better she was excited. Her life as a huntress was about to begin! Sadly she couldn't exactly share this moment with Ruby sine she had left her sister to hang out with some of her own friends. Sadly it seemed that even her friends had the same idea and took off in opposite directions to do some exploring on their own.

It was ok though had she been with them she likely wouldn't be able to explore Beacon in all its glory. Then again this was going to be home for the next 4 years but still you only get one chance at a first impression

As she continued to marvel at the sight before her she failed to watch exactly where she was going and didn't realize it until she walked directly into someone's back. The blonde bombshell let out a noticeable "Oomph" As she recoiled backwards, but otherwise was able to stay on her feet. Her reaction on the other hand wasn't so calming "Hey!" she snapped" her eyes going red as she gritted her teeth and let out a snarl.

Yang's expression changed however when she got a good look at the individuals back side. Distinctly male judging from the build, roughly her height, though a little taller it seemed. With jet black hair and a matching jacket, though it definitely had some detailing on it with red lines accentuating the black.

Yang couldn't help but feel her cheeks heat up "mamma likes…." She whispered. In response, the male turned around, a perplexed yet unamused look on his face while looing quite stiff as if expecting an attack of some sort.

If Yang though her heart had stopped dead before, she was sure it was starting to pound rapidly in her chest as she got an eyeful of the man in front of her.

This boy was Gorgeous with a capital G! His skin was very pale, in stark contrast to his jet black hair, not enough to be unhealthy, but it was a glaring eye catcher (much like himself, she thought to herself). However the most interesting thing she noticed was his eyes. They were an enchanting mix of a volcanic red and a dark metallic silver not unlike her uncles and her sisters eye shades.

She couldn't recall ever seeing anything like that before and yet… it seemed so….

Her trail of thought was interrupted as the boy let out a grunt "Is there something on my face?" he asked, clearly confused as to why some random girl would suddenly jus stop and stare at him like a prime piece of meat.

Yang blinked, the soft baritone voice bringing her back to reality her eyes shifted back to the normal Lilac and she gave the boy a very seductive look "My lips" she muttered, placing her hands on his chest and leaning towards him, her eyes drawn to the males luscious lips. However the boy gently pushed her away, giving her a scathing smirk "try that AFTER you take me out to dinner Blondie." He said with a sly wink before turning and walking away.

Yang couldn't help but feel a grin reach her face as she stared at the boys retreating back, confidence and admiration building up inside her as she thought of the many activities she could get the male to join her in doing. This year seemed to be shaping to be an interesting one.


By the time Yang got to the auditorium, the male was still fresh on her mind, though she was slowly getting over it as she prepared for the headmasters speech. She had to admit today was going pretty well. She had familiarized herself with the Campus made a hot new friend (though she wished she had gotten his name, but on the bright side she had plenty of time to get it.) and only gad to go though the initiation tomorrow and her life at Beacon would be set.

She looked around the auditorium, hoping to catch a glimpse of ANYTHING familiar but she couldn't see anyone she recognized around her until she saw the ever noticeable red cloak hat could only belong to one person. Ruby it seemed had finally arrived next to a scraggily blonde that looked somewhat familiar. "Ruby" Yang called out loudly "over here! I saved you a spot" she yelled waving her hand briskly to get her sisters attention, she noticed ruby mouth something in audible from where she was standing before the younger girl made her way over to the brawler.

"How's your first day going little sister?" Yang teased Ruby gently. She was expecting Ruby to go on about the weapons she had seen all morning, what she did not expect was Ruby turning her silver eyed gaze into a glare and an ugly scowl "You mean since you ditched me and I EXPLODED!" she snapped angrily

Instantly Yang's gaze turned into one of concern, reading Ruby's words the wrong way "yikes meltdown already?" she asked Ruby

Ruby huffed in response looking almost ready to kill "NO! I literally exploded a hole in front of the school!" she turned her gaze a way from Yang before she continued
"there was some fire… and I think some ice."

Yang held back a chuckle, but her voice still gave away her amusement as she responded to her sister's annoyed statement "are you being sarcastic?" she teased, giving her sister a sly look

Ruby snorted "I wish! I tripped over some raby girl's luggage, and then she yelled at me! Then I sneezed, then I EXPLODD and then she yelled again I felt really really bad and I just wanted her to stop yelling at me

Neither of them noticed the person Ruby was talking about until a shrill voice interrupted Ruby with a loud "YOU" said voice belonged to a girl in a grey off white dress with pale blue eyes and pale skin with white hair to match

In response Ruby leapt up in her sister arms so fast that Yang almost lost her balance to adjust to her sisters weight.

Yang blinked as she gazed at the young woman n front of her being mildly reminded of the young man she met earlier that day. In the sense that she was mildly sure Ruby got off on the wrong foot with this girl, she began scolding Ruby, and Yang only picked up a bit of what she was saying being more concerned with her sisters wellbeim than anything else but upon hearing her mention the cliff Yang suddenly realized how serious her sister was being. "Oh my god you really exploded…."

The girl pulled out a pamphlet shoving it into Ruby's face "the Schnee dust company…." Oh god Yang was getting a headache just listening to this girl talk about dust like she was an expert (which she probably was given she was a god darn SCHNEE, but it was still kid of annoying to listen to a know it all. Still she gave her best smile as she tried to ease the tension between her sister and her newfound rival

"Maybe you guys just got off on the wring foot." She said, "Why don't you tart over?"

Ruby it seemed liked that idea standing up straight and giving the white haired girl her best smile "your right sis" she cheered happily, before extending her hand respectfully "Hello Weiss." Weiss huh? Yang thought to herself that was oddly fitting considering her extremely pale complexion

"I'm Ruby" the young girl continued, "Want to hangout? We can go shopping for school supplies" Well at the very lest Ruby was thinking outside the box. And not talking about weapons or once.

Yang would have cheered at her sisters optimism if Weiss's response wasn't so sarcastic "yeah and we can paint our nails and try on cloths and talk about cute boys like blonde and scraggily over there!"

Ruby unfortunately didn't pick p on the sarcasm at all "wow really?"

Weiss scowled obviously annoyed at the fact that Ruby didn't pick up on that at all either "No"

Yang sighed. This was going to be a long year for Ruby.


By the time night had fallen Yang was still in good spirits despite the fact Ruby had a bad moment with Weiss. Said girl was currently on her sleeping bag writing a note. Yang decided to quite literally drop in on her. Or rather next to her to avoid crushing the poor girl "It's a big slumber party!" she yelled happily" giving her sister a grin as she landed beside her with a noticeable thud

Ruby didn't look up but her voice was slightly saddened as she responded, "I don't think dad would approve of all the boys though"

Yang couldn't help but gaze at a few of them from across the hall, one of them a young male with messy brown hair, but to her chagrin she didn't see the youth she had met earlier that day. "I know I do." she moaned with a slight seductive growl in her voice as her mind conjured images of the thins she'd like to do with the male in question on her mind. To get away from her trail o thought though she turned her attention to Ruby's letter. What's that?" she asked even though she already knew the answer

"A letter to the gang at Signal. I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things are going," she said whimsically.

"awww" Yang chided "that so CUUUUUUTE" a moment laer, she received a face full of pillow "Shut up!" Ruby shot back clearly annoyed by her sisters attitude "I didn't get to take my friends with me to school, its weird not knowing anyone as it is,

"What about Jaune?" Yang suggested "He's." she trailed off, not knowing much about the other blonde except what Ruby had told her "Nice…." She finished unsure what else to say, "There you go one friend, that's a 100% increase."

Ruby flopped over on her back staring at the ceiling "I'm pretty sure Weiss counts as a negative friend…. Back to Zero."

Without missing a beat, Yang gave Ruby the best response she could think of "there no such thing as a negative friend, you just made one friend and one enemy." Ruby didn't like this response and threw her other pillow at Yang's face. Taking the pillow off her face Yang's gaze turned more sympathetic "Look Ruby" she began "Its only been one day. You have friends all around you, you just haven't met them yet."


The figure sighed, almost laughing, if it weren't for the absurdity of the situation. Back then everything seemed so simple. But as Blake sad that night, life wasn't a fairy tale. Boy if those words didn't seem prophetic before they sure felt like that in hindsight.

That had only been the first night a Beacon and yet the adventures the 1 f them had together in those times were among the best that one could ever ask for. But then it all boiled down to the fact that Cinder… She had manipulated everything ever since the Vytal festival including breaking Mercury's leg, and even worse… The figure growled eyes blazing with fury as Adam Taurus came to mind. He would pay for everything that he had done to Blake… to...

The figure blinked back tears, feeling helpless at the fact that they were stuck held captive by the Branwen tribe. 'I should have listen to you…." the figure whispered as their thoughts turned to the person that had warned them about the dangers of coming to this area alone. But it was a calculated risk the figure had to take to find….

"I'm so sorry…. My Love." The figure whispered.
