RWBY Unleash the Grimm
Chapter 1: The Phantom of Vale
Long before team RWBY or their friends went to Beacon Academy, there was once a boy who lived in the forests of Vale with his parents, but because of either divine powers working against him or from lady luck deciding to screw him over, the boy lost his parents at the age of 6 and his life was never the same. But that is a story for a different time, for at this moment teams RWBY and JNPR were having breakfast together while team CRDL seemed to be packing food for some sort of trip which made most of the school happy since every member of the team were jerks to anyone they felt like. The only team that seemed annoyed by it though was team CFVY with Coco, Fox, and Yatsuhashi sending glares at the freshmen team.
"I wonder where they're going." Ruby stated out loud as she looked at the all-male team.
"Who cares? They're nothing more but a bunch of hoodlums." Weiss asked her partner and team leader.
"Because someone will end up as their target to harass no matter where they go." Blake answered as she looked at the white haired heiress from her book.
"Actually, I asked because I want to know why they seem to need so much food." Ruby cleared as the others saw that the team was indeed packing a lot of food.
"Maybe they're going to some super-secret order where the members have to go through some sort of trial to become a member!" Nora stated out of nowhere as she waved her hands for effect.
"Nora." Ren started as he waited for his friend to calm down a little.
"Yes Ren?" Nora asked as she looked at him with a smile.
"I don't think they are in any secret order." the black haired member of team JNPR stated as he looked at his oldest friend.
"Well, wherever they were going, it's not happening now." Yang stated as she caused the others to look back towards the all-male team to see them stopped by Professor Glynda with a simple glare.
"I don't care what you think you are doing, but you are not going to go gallivanting through the forests of Vale." Glynda stated loud enough that everyone in the cafeteria was able to hear her while she pointed her riding crop at the four teenage boys.
"But it's just for a couple of days, a week at most." Russel stated as he tried to reason with the professor.
"I said no and that's final!" Glynda stated as she gave the team of jerks a stern glare.
"Now Glynda, I believe if they went with another team that we could let them go." Ozpin stated as he walked up to the group.
"But we were going to do this all alone!" Dove stated as he couldn't believe his team's luck at the moment.
"What is this little quest of yours?" Ozpin asked as he took a drink from his mug.
"We were going to hunt down and bring in the Phantom of Vale." Sky answered as he looked the headmaster in the eyes and was surprised with others when it looked like he was going to choke on his very drink for a moment.
"I forbid you from even going out after that thing without at least 3 other teams and a Huntsman accompanying you. I lost too many students to it, and I plan not to lose another student to it. Do I make myself clear?" Ozpin asked as he regained his breath and gained a serious look to his eyes that surprised some of the older students that have been at Beacon longer even more.
"But this Phantom of Vale has only killed 5 people in the last five years. It mainly sends people to the hospital. Why have 17 Huntsmen do this one job?" Cardin asked as he had read up on the target that had a reward of 1000 Lien for its live capture if brought to the Vale Police Station.
"Because, the Phantom of Vale has killed 2 senior students from this very academy almost 5 years ago. When we found the last of their team, they reacted to every sound as if it could kill them. Whoever or whatever the Phantom of Vale is, it had enough power to kill half of a team of senior students and to mentally scar the other half enough that it ruined their chances of ever becoming Huntsmen. That is why I want so many people for this job." the headmaster answered as he looked the leader of team CRDL in the eyes with a stare that left no room to argue.
"Team RWBY volunteers to help with this mission!" Ruby yelled as she was raising her hand to let everyone know where she and her team were.
"Ruby you dolt!" Weiss yelled as she stood up at what her partner and team leader had just done.
"Team JNPR will also volunteer!" Jaune exclaimed as he stood up while the other members of his team looked at him with shock.
"Well, now all you need is one more team and a Huntsman. Is there anyone else that wishes to go on this mission?" Ozpin asked as he looked over the cafeteria.
"Team CFVY would like to volunteer if no one else wants to go!" Coco answered as she stood up with the other members of her team as the male half of the team sent glares at team CRDL.
"Then all we need now is a Huntsman. Who do we ask?" Russel asked as he scratched his head.
"I will accompany all of you, so I can keep an eye on all of you." Glynda answered as she used her stern gaze to look at the four teams each.
"All participants for this mission are excused from classes and class duties for a maximum of one week. I suggest you start packing now. Do you have anything to add Professor Goodwitch?" Ozpin stated as he pulled out his scroll to enter the needed information and then turned to his friend.
"Yes I do. Be ready before 11:30, and be at the port before noon, or we may just leave without you. I will pack all the food we'll need." Glynda stated as she looked at the students assigned under her watch and when they didn't move at first, slammed her riding crop on a table to get her message across.
As soon as Glynda hit the table with her riding crop, all four teams of Huntsmen and Huntresses in training went to their dorms to ready themselves for the next seven days, while Glynda was getting the needed food ration since she already had a packed bag for missions if she had to leave abruptly. After the Huntress had grabbed more than enough food for her and the 16 Hunters in training for the maximum time they would spend out in the field, she made her way to her room to grab her own supplies for the mission. After she had grabbed her bag, Glynda walked towards the port to make sure a Bullhead had the needed fuel and space needed for this mission. As she walked to her destination, Glynda came across General Ironwood with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
"I heard that you're taking on a mission with some students. May I ask why a mission needs 17 Hunters?" Ironwood asked as he looked at his ally.
"The mission is simply to search and capture the being known as the Phantom of Vale." Glynda answered the general as she looked at him sternly.
"I've heard of him. Personally, I think he should be placed on the B-class criminal list." James replied as he rubbed his chin.
"And why would you say that?" Glynda asked as she was wondering why he would put him that high.
"He may not kill often, but he has attacked and seriously injured citizens for no reason that can be thought of. He's not some half-wit that can be caught with simple tricks or bait, but he does act more like an animal sometimes if the reports are anything to go by. I've also been reading everything about him ever since he killed two of your students almost 5 years ago, and if what I read is correct, then he'll be around 18 years old right now. He has been trained, but by who and for what I don't know." the general answered as he held a look of strength, but also had fear in his eyes.
"If what you're saying is true, then that would mean that the Phantom of Vale was around 13 years old when he killed two of the finest Huntsmen in training that I had the pleasure to teach, and scarred the other two who would have been just as great. Sorry if I sound rude, but I highly doubt that." Glynda replied as she glared at the general for even thinking that four highly trained students of Beacon Academy could be defeated and killed by some animalistic 13 year old.
"Believe what you want Glynda, but I would keep my eyes on the shadows if I were you." Ironwood countered as he looked at the powerful Huntress.
"And why would I want to keep track of shadows, James?" the mage like Huntress asked as she sent a glare at the man.
"Quotes from most victims say that they saw one or more things without shadows before he attacked them. One even goes as far as saying that right before she was attack, she saw a large Creep that was as big as a car, but it made no shadow, and he has been more active since the start of the school year." answered the aging general with a look of great concern.
"You're just scared that whatever Roman was planning, had something to do with this local legend. Even if everything you say about 'him', as you call it, is true, Roman wouldn't be crazy enough to try to ally himself with it." Glynda replied as she then left the general to finish her prep list.
Unknown to the two Hunters, their entire conversation had been heard by three Hunters that where ready to go out and do something.
"So Cinder, what are we going to do?" asked a red eyed, mint green haired girl with a smile towards the woman.
"Yah Cinder, I'm kind of tired of this place." stated a gray eyed, silvery-gray haired boy that looked bored.
"Emerald, Mercury, we're going to go get Adam, and then we're going to go see just how powerful this Phantom of Vale is." Cinder answered as she led the other two away with a sinister smile on her lips.
As the minutes passed by, all four teams of students were making sure they had everything they needed for the next week so they wouldn't be unprepared. Seeing that they were ready and that Team RWBY asked Professor Oobleck to watch over Zwei while they were gone, all four teams made their way to the port to start their mission. When the teams met up, they gave a simple nod to each other before moving on to the port. There was an awkward silence as the group walked mostly because no one wanted to say anything. When they got to the port, Professor Goodwitch told them that she can choose to end this mission whenever she wanted and for whatever reason. They all agreed with her and then got on the Bullhead. The flight was about an hour long, the area of the forest they landed in showed signs of battles or the like since there where trees with large cut marks and other damaging marks.
"(Whistle) Man, whoever did this must have some damn good skills." Yang stated as she walked up to a tree and inspected a part of the bark that had traces of fire damage.
"How good would you say, Ms. Xiao Long?" Glynda asked as she looked at the younger Huntress.
"Well, I would say that he/she has been trained to strike their target with precision and control since the burn mark is there only because whatever struck it was either in a fire before hand or was fire Dust infused." Yang answered as she did a thorough inspection of the damaged bark.
"So whoever did this was training." Pyrrha stated as she looked at all the damaged trees in the small clearing.
"Either that or they were fighting something." Coco countered as she looked at the damaged trees as well but was looking at the trees' bases looking for something.
"What...are you, uh, looking for, Coco?" Velvet asked quietly as she watched her team leader.
"I'm looking for some footprints or any kind of track, but I can't find any." Coco answered as she started to look all over the ground of the clearing.
"Why are you bothering to look for footprints?" Cardin asked as he seemed to glare at the older student.
"Because trees can't get damaged by nothing. Something has to have damage them." Coco answered as she sent a glare of her own at the male team leader while lowering her sunglasses at him.
"Maybe it was Grimm that damaged these trees." Dove stated as he was annoyed since this mission now had too many people for his liking and not a single one of them seemed to be able to find their target.
"A Grimm would have made tracks and a Grimm would never attack trees. Plus, there's burned bark on some trees. This was done by a person." Coco countered as she started to look for footprints again.
"Well, I'm going to go look around to see if I can find a stream or a river if we need to get water for any reason." Ruby stated as she started to walk towards the edge of the clearing.
"That's a good idea Ms. Rose, but please go with someone else. We don't want anyone getting hurt out here." Glynda replied as her voice stopped the red clad Huntress from leaving the clearing.
"Ok. Weiss want to come with me?" Ruby asked as she looked at her partner with hope on her face.
"I think I will." Weiss answered as she joined her partner at the edge of the clearing.
As the two girls left the clearing, they walked side by side as they made their way through the forest while looking for a source of water. However, neither of the girls knew that they would soon be followed by the very person they were after.
Unknown cave up on a large up rise at the same time:
At the entrance of the cave was a young man that looked to be in his late teens wearing a simple black pair of jeans with a black leather belt, a dark purple short sleeved shirt, and black boots that looked to be made for hikes that would last for weeks with the pants legs stuffed into them. A black raven feather emblem can be seen as the belt buckle for his belt and on the center of his shirt. He also has a dark purple hoodie with the hood up shadowing his face and the zipper open. He has a dark purple backpack on with a basic silver ring on his right ring finger and had what looked to be a dark purple, a 3 foot jousting lance like weapon strapped to his right side on his belt. As he looked out to the forests that surrounded the city of Vale, he seemed to be just gazing at nothing as he sat at the cave while keeping his right hand near his weapon. When he finally turned his head, he gazed towards a clearing that recently had something land in it.
"Should I see what's over there?" he asked himself with a deep, wise sounding voice but it was still a little high.
He seemed to be thinking over his own question before an explosion roared from the clearing with some black smoke rising into the air. Without even saying anything, he stood up, and made his way towards the area with practiced speed by jumping into the branches of trees and then jumping to other branches that would lead him to his destination.
With Ruby and Weiss after the explosion:
"That sounded like it was from the clearing!" Ruby yelled as she turned around at the sound of the blast.
"It was most likely that brute of a sister of yours." Weiss replied as she saw that some black smoke came from the area the others were at.
"Should we go back to check on them?" Ruby asked as she wasn't sure what to do.
"I think we should, so Ms. Goodwitch can make sure that we know if the mission has changed." Weiss answered as she moved her left hand to her Myrtenaster as Ruby moved her left hand to Crescent Rose.
The two Huntresses in training ran back to their allies with great speed, but failed to sense the presence of another person approaching them quickly as they made their way back to the rest of their group. When the girls returned to their allies, they saw that Yang was covered with soot while being glared at by Glynda as she had some soot on her as well.
"What happened?" Ruby asked as she looked at the group with her head tilted to the side.
"Ms. Xiao Long decided that we needed a fire." Glynda answered as she then tried to wipe the soot off of her.
"Again, sorry about that, I thought that we might as well make this our base camp." Yang stated as she rubbed the back of her head.
"This isn't the only area he's been recorded to be in." Cardin countered as he looked at the wild haired blond with his arms crossed.
Right after the mace user finished his statement, an unnatural fog started to roll in from every direction. This sudden change of the weather made everyone on edge as they felt something dark and for the lack of a better description, Grimm.
"Wh-what is th-this?" Velvet asked as she looked around nervously with the others readying their weapons.
"Why are you in my territory?" asked a voice that echoed in the open air of the forest.
"We're here for the Phantom of Vale!" Cardin yelled the answer as he tightened his grip on his mace.
"Then you're lucky. You've found me. Now prepare to die." he replied as a body seemed to form from the very fog.
"WOW! HE MUST REALLY BE A PHANTOM!" Nora yelled as she pulled out Magnhild as it unfolded into its hammer mood.
"What is this creature? It can't be a human, and it's definitely not a Faunus." the rouge asked as his voice echoed.
"I'm Nora Valkyrie. Do you like pancakes?" Nora answered and then asked as she had the biggest smile that most of the Huntsmen have ever seen.
"It doesn't matter. We're bringing you in Phantom of Vale." Cardin stated as he pointed his mace at the vapor like body and getting nods of agreements from his teammates.
"I'll show you what a real hunter can do." the rouge Huntsman replied as the body seemed to rush the all-male team and then just seemed to disperse when Cardin swung his mace into it.
"Maybe we really are dealing with an actual phantom like Nora said." Weiss said as she looked for anything that resembled a body in this fog that didn't belong with the group.
"Blake! Ren! Do either of you feel him?" Ruby asked as she moved her gaze from place to place quickly.
"I can't find where his Aura is. It's like he's all around us." Ren answered as he kept his hands ready to strike or to pull out StormFlower if needed.
"It's the same for me too!" Blake answered as she tried to find their attacker.
"Has it only been five months since the last bounty hunter came after me for what they called a reward?" the rouge asked himself causing 13 members of the large group to look at Team CRDL with degrees of anger.
"We're here to bring you into justice!" Ruby yelled her answer as she stopped glaring at the all-male team.
"Justice? Justice. Justice!" the voice repeated the word three times with each time sounding angrier and angrier as if it took him a moment for him to realize he hated the word itself.
"Yah, what's so bad about justice?" Yang asked as she got ready to punch anything that came running at them.
"Where was my justice all those years ago?" the phantom yelled his question as the fog seemed to start swirling around the large group.
"Ms. Xiao Long, please stop enraging the unseen Huntsman." Glynda stated as she noticed that the temperature hasn't changed even with all this fog.
"How are we supposed to fight a ghost?" Pyrrha asked out loud as she looked at the swirling fog around all of them.
"Stop hiding behind your Semblance and show yourself!" the professor suddenly yelled as she held a powerful glare in her eyes.
"I'll show myself, but I'm not ready to destroy all of you." he replied as the fog started to disintegrate into crow feathers and blow away from a ghostly wind.
When all of the feathers and fog had disappeared, a 6 foot 5, 18 year old boy appeared wearing a lot of dark purple and black with a hoodie with the hood up shadowing most of his face but showed golden yellow eyes. The dark purple hoodie wasn't zipped closed showing a dark purple shirt with a black raven feather emblem on the chest. He had a dark purple backpack on his back with black jeans on with a black leather belt with a crow feather belt buckle and the legs going into black hiking boots. He had a plain silver ring on his right ring finger and was holding a 3 foot lance spear in the very same hand. The group of Huntsmen and Huntresses where very surprised from his appearance and his reptilian eyes that looked more bird like than reptile like.
"Wh-who are y-you?" Velvet asked as she stuttered at the sight of him.
"My name is Crow Darkheart." Crow answered her as his image looked at the rabbit Faunus and tilted his head to the right a bit.
"He's right hand dominate judging from his weapon and the way he tilted his head." Blake, Ren, Jaune, and Glynda thought as they looked at the rouge.
"Mr. Darkheart, I would like to avoid fighting if I can, but you must be brought in for all the attacks you have committed." Glynda stated as she tried to convince him to surrender himself.
"I'll never let the likes of humans or Faunus control me again." Crow replied as his voice took a lower and more dangerous edge.
"Then we'll just have to drag you to the police station." Cardin countered as he got ready to attack the older boy.
"Not now. Why did it have to happen now?" Crow suddenly asked out of nowhere as he grabbed his head with his free hand.
"What's wrong with him?" Ruby asked as she looked at the strange boy.
"I think being out here for so long has caused him to lose his marbles." Yang answered her little sister as she watched his image start to shake.
"I don't see any marbles. Oh, maybe he lost them a few weeks ago!" Nora stated as she actually looked at the ground for marbles.
Before anyone could tell the hyper-active girl what Yang actual meant, the image of Crow started to disintegrate into feathers and blown away on a ghostly wind. All 17 members of the group from Beacon readied themselves for anything, when all of a sudden; a tree that was right behind Crow's image seemed to explode as the very rouge stood there with his head lowered and his weapon at the length of 7 feet.
"He must have a lot of strength." Jaune stated as he took a step back from the older boy who began to glow an almost black like purple with crow feathers coming off of him like rose pelts with Ruby.
"Kill. I need to kill. I must rend the flesh from something." Crow stated as he pushed some bigger pieces of wood around with his lance.
"Yang, I think you might have been right about him." Weiss stated as she took a few steps back out of fear.
"He's just some punk!" Cardin yelled as he and the rest of his team ran at him with their weapons ready to attack.
As the group of freshmen got to him, he just let Team CRDL attack him as their weapons bounced off of his Aura as if they were nothing more but annoyances. After about 5 seconds, Crow swung his lance at a near perfect 45 degree angle sending all 4 teens flying away from him. He walked up to Russel as he started to pull his lance back to stab the dagger user.
"Murder of Crows wants blood. I'm sure yours will do." Crow stated as his voice took a slight insane happy sound to it.
Hearing what Crow said, Cardin quickly got up and swung his mace as hard as he could hoping he would hit the rouge hunter. Time seemed to slow for everyone as they saw Cardin's mace slam into Crow's face sending Crow flying for about 3 feet. As Crow was falling down, he turned his body so he would land in a three point crouch with his lance pointed straight towards Cardin. The insane 18 year old launched himself at the team leader with his hood falling off his head revealing dirty blond hair that reached to his shoulders and his lance glowing a slight red showing he was using fire Dust. Showing great speed for someone of his size, Cardin was able to dodge Murder of Crows by turning his body so his left side was pointed at Crow with his mace ready to slam into Crow's left side of his face. The attack met Crow's face sending him back into the air and actually causing blood to come out of his mouth. When he stood up again, Crow raised Murder of Crows over his head as it started to arch electricity showing lightning Dust was being used and then started to spin his weapon.
"I'll simply blast you with lightning to destroy you and the green haired one." Crow stated as he kept spinning his weapon above his head.
Right when Crow stopped spinning his lance and pointed it at Cardin and Russel with the now large amount of electrical power, Ruby used her speed to slamming the back of Crescent Rose's head into Crow's head and making him take 8 steps back. He turned his head towards Ruby and growled at her. Crow launched himself at the young scythe user with his left hand in what looked to be a grip while his Aura started to glow only to make his dark crimson blood stained teeth stand out more while his weapon lost its built up Dust power, so Ruby raised her baby to block his lance as she saw it raising a bit for most likely a slam attack. As the two met, Crow had moved Murder of Crows above his head and brought it down towards Ruby's own head but blocked it with her scythe. While the two weapons where locks against each other, Crow launched his left hand with his fist open and grabbed Ruby by her right upper arm as he forced her to get closer to him. Ruby felt his Aura trying to enter her body as soon as he grabbed her, and was using her Aura to keep him out, but didn't see him opening his mouth when he got her close enough and had his head past their weapons. The young Huntress lost all focus to her Aura when she felt Crow's teeth break though her blouse and then the skin of her right shoulder causing her to bleed and for a small amount of Crow's own blood to enter her own blood stream. Ruby could hear herself and many of the other members of the group screaming with her sister being the loudest, but found it hard to hear them as she started to hear her mother, father, and uncle's voices saying something about her being the cutest baby girl ever. She then saw one time when all five special people of her life before she started school going on a picnic.
"What's going on? Why am I seeing all of my own memories?" Ruby asked as she realized she thought it and then heard laughing.
"Fighting with our bodies is only one part in a fight. Our minds are the other part, and when I bring them to the front lines, there's little to no chance for you to win." Ruby heard Crow think as his grip tightened on her arm and his bite growing stronger.
Realizing that he was trying to kill her though her own mind, Ruby started to fight him and she seemed to be winning as he was yelling at her to stop. She pushed back so hard that she thought she accidently forced her way into his mind, but didn't care as she struck out at his mind. As soon as her first mental attack happened, he stopped biting her and tried to let her go, but she had grabbed his arm and wasn't letting go as she started her assault on his mind. While she was attacking him mentally, she kept seeing things with each attack and saw parts of his life but couldn't tell what happened since they went by in a flash with her attacks. Crow was soon able to break her hold on him as he bite into her arm forcing her to let go from the pain of him once again biting though her blouse and skin making her bleed again and got more of his blood into her system. As soon as Ruby let go, Crow turned around and ran into the forest while screaming for her to get out of his head. No one went after him since as soon a Ruby had let go of him, she fell to the ground while she was convulsing with pain masking her face with her eyes filled with terror.
"This mission is over! Now quickly, get her to the Bullhead!" Glynda ordered getting no arguments from the others with Yang picking up her violently shaking little sister and rushing to the airship.
Everyone was showing some level of worry for the youngest member among them and the school. Before Glynda could take off, she had the others forcedly strap Ruby down to keep her from hopefully hurting herself. It took a full 10 seconds before the Bullhead took off and went straight towards Beacon as fast as it could. It took about 50 minutes before they got back and Yang quickly making her way to the medical wing of the school by either yelling at others to get out of her way or simply shoving them out of her way while she was holding her little sister bridal style causing most students to either step to the side of the hall or to stand there frozen causing them needing to visit the medical wing later. By the time Yang got Ruby to the medical officers of the school, Glynda sent a level one priority alert to Ozpin and all other members of the school board causing all of Ruby's teachers to ran out of the classes they were teaching to check on the young scythe user. Even General James Ironwood ran to check on the young prodigy. He knew his technical daughter Penny was going to hate the news he was going to give her. For a full hour, the members of teams RWBY, JNPR, CFVY, and even CRDL waited with Professor Goodwitch, Professor Port, Professor Oobleck, Professor Ozpin, General Ironwood, and Zwei to hear about Beacon's rose. They were all looking down into the floor before they looked up at the sound of doors opening. The tiger eared and tailed Faunus nurse looked at the large group of people with a very neutral face.
"Is my little sister going to be ok?" Yang asked as she nearly ran into the nurse and fell at the same time with her eyes pleading.
"I have good news, bad news, and troubling news." the tiger Faunus answered as she looked at every pair of eyes with a controlled facial expression.
"What's the good news?" Jaune asked as he looked to be at the same level of pleading as Yang.
"The good news is that we were able to stabilize Ruby Rose and got her to stop convulsing." the medical officer answered causing everyone to take a breath of relief.
"What's the bad news?" Coco asked as she was still worried about the very young freshman.
"The bad news is we had to put her under constant watch to make sure she doesn't have a relapse." the nurse answered as she saw everyone get looks of worry again.
"What's the troubling news?" Cardin asked feeling a great amount of guilt as he thought that this was all his fault.
"The troubling news is that we found a toxin in her blood stream." she answered and took a moment knowing they would ask her more about it.
"A toxin, what kind of toxin is it?" Ozpin asked showing great concern in his voice.
"That's the thing. The closest we've come to identifying it is that it's similar to Grimm blood." she answered causing the staff members and general to go wide eyed.
"What's wrong? What's so bad about Grimm blood?" Jaune asked as he looked at the adults with the others.
"In old texts, it is said that by using Grimm blood on one self that you gain great power if you are able to survive. There have only been a handful of known survivors that have gone through this." Ozpin started as he started to mess with his glasses.
"There's something else isn't there? There must be." Yang asked as she looked at the headmaster with despair.
"Most if not all survivors had fallen into insanity soon after they were injected with Grimm blood. They would yell that there were voices in their heads and would do whatever they could get them out. Most of which involved them taking a power drill to their temple to borrow the voices out." Ironwood answered as he crossed his arms as he knew this was going to be tough on young Ms. Rose.
"There has to be a way to cure her of it." Coco stated as she looked at the nurse while lowering her sunglasses.
"There is no cure. For some reason the body will start making its own supply if the person survives. We can only hope that her body doesn't take to it." the nurse replied as she turned around and went back to check on a sleeping Ruby allowing others to visit.
"What did she mean if her body doesn't take to it?" Weiss asked as the group walked in with Team CRDL leaving believing they over stayed their welcome with Yang sending glares at them every other minute.
"There have been cases where a person did survive the Grimm blood but only because their body rejected it fast enough. Hopefully Ms. Rose is one of them, because if her body takes to the Grimm blood, she will be more aggressive and hungrier. She may even develop a split personality disorder if it gets extreme." Ozpin answered the heiress as they saw Ruby sleeping on the bed with her wrists and ankles bound to the frame, but they could tell that she wasn't having a peaceful dream.
Ruby's face kept changing to different forms of pain. She seemed to be having a very realistic dream. No one knew what to do to make the youngest student of Beacon more comfortable without making things worst since they saw the bites had to be stitched closed. Everyone but Yang left knowing that the blond wanted to be a lone with her sister.
"Please be ok Ruby. I don't think Dad and I will be able to take it if you die at all." Yang pleaded with her sister's sleeping form as she grabbed her left hand with tears starting to show themselves from the blonde's eyes.
Zwei whimpered as he jumped up onto the bed and curled into a ball by Ruby's waist.
Ruby's Dream:
Ruby was walking through a forest that looked strangely like the Snowy Forest, but it was darker with a lot more Beowolves in it from the sound of it. The strangest thing to her though was the fact that the only thing she could see of the Grimms where their eyes as they just seemed to stay within the darkness of the forest but stayed close enough to her to follow her. After what felt like an hour of walking, the pale white skinned girl came across a large clearing with a Beowolf that stood at an incredible height of 9 foot 10 maybe standing at an even 10 feet tall if it stood up like a person. Ruby shot her hand to Crescent Rose only to find it not there.
"What do I do now?" Ruby asked herself as she turned around and saw that Beowolves now surrounded the clearing and stood at the ready.
"Come to me, Ruby Rose." the giant Grimm ordered with a voice that was deep and rough as it sent a heated glare at the young Huntress.
Not knowing what to do, Ruby walked to the Grimm with a few nervous steps. As soon as she was in front of it, the Grimm pinned her down on the ground and stared down into her eyes. Images started to flash before Ruby's eyes of her killing her friends and family as bloody as possible. Ruby couldn't believe what she was seeing as she saw herself decapitate her own sister with Crescent Rose.
"MAKE IT STOP!" Ruby yelled as she closed her eyes to try to stop the images.
