I do not own RWBY, or the characters besides the OC's I make and put into this tale. Fair warning, on later chapters it will diverge from cannon due to addition of OCs. Again, this is a fanficttion, RWBY is property of RoosterTeeth, all trights and characters in the series belongs to them. This will mostly be taking place during and after season three as a whole to the story.
Prologue
The pair stood facing each other, the young woman clad in a short marron dress, with a black wrap to hold it up, faced the younger man sitting in a cross leged and relaxed for the most part. The younger man was leaning against the porch railing, a casual air surrounding both.
"I'm surprised you came back home Cinder, I thought you told us you would never come back" the boy said breaking the silence after a few minutes.
She looked at him, both sets of amber eyes meeting before she gave a nonchalant answer, "I just wanted to visit and take care of a few things"
He smirked, "come on, you're not as good at hiding things as you think, I mean we grew up together, remember?"
She rolled her eyes at him giving her normal slight smile before saying, "only because youre my little brother, I had something I needed to ask you, well, offer really." She paused and he looked to her more intrigued awaiting her question. She continued by saying, "I want you to come with me, and I want you to help Aeren. I will change the world, making it work for me, but I can't do it alone. Yes, it's true I left the academy and I've been living migrantly. My question remains, will you come with me?"
"What are you trying to do Cinder?"
"I am going to bring the hunters down, going to show them why they are fighting a battle of attrition and how they can't be trusted with our safety anymore." She explained simply with her usual persuasive voice.
Aeren dropped his gaze slightly, not able to make eye contact with his sister, he stayed quiet, realizing her story was lining up with what he was told about his sister. She was becoming what he wanted no part of, she was becoming something more along the lines of a villan. He knew with her typical plans, of she didn't have a partner, she'd typically drop the idea, so he waited, formulating a response that he could use to get her to see sense.
"So, Aeren, what do you say?" Cinder asked her younger brother again, "will you help me?"
Aeren looked at her in a sideways glance, "you and I both know I won't. I won't hinder you, but I'm not going to be part of your hair brained scheme to run away from school and make your own life. I start classes at Beacon later this year, and our parents are livid about what you did."
"What I did isn't their concern. It's that I won't fall in line to their wishes to become a huntress." She replied with a set expression. "I'm going to change the world, won't you help your big sister do that?" She asked him sweetly.
Aeren couldn't hold her gaze, then shook his head, "I can't Cinder" Then sighed before meeting her gaze again
Her sweet, persuading demeanor changed in a quick fashion, turning into a glare of anger and malicious intent behind her set expression, her eyes began to glow with anger. "Then pray the next time we cross paths, brother, I won't be the girl you grew up with anymore. And I will kill you if you get in my way."
"What you want of this world isn't what I want, I won't go against you, but I can't help you."
Her glare sobered slightly before looking at him with indifference, standing from her seat and walking off slowly. "Then this is the end of you and I brother." The last time the siblings would view each other on the same side, the last time in years they would meet.
