AN: Hey! If anybody reading this has read my notes on this story and remember that I said it was supposed to be a one-shot well... I lied. I'm turning this into a short series that will be approximately...4 or 5 chapters long and will consist of one of each of the main characters POVs (Maybe more if necessary). Also, it is meant to keep along the course of cannon, but there may be a few elements that are not so easily considered as such. Anyway, this is my first story so please review and, most importantly, enjoy!

I don't own RWBY! Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do.

EDIT: I added a bar inbetween Ruby's and Wolf's POVs so it's more obvious when it switches. I also fixed some grammatical errors and mistakes.

Chance Encounters

It was a warm June night and all was quiet in the Industrial District of Vale. Well, except for a certain red cloaked 10 year old who was out WAY past her curfew. As she was walked down the dark streets she could not help but apprehensive about what could be lurking just around the corner. This was a bad part of town, and she knew it! In fact, it wasn't even her idea to come out here. It was her sister's idea to sneak out, and go through the dangerous district at 11:00 at night. Ruby wanted none of it, but her sister was very persuasive, as always.

"Awwww, is little Ruby scared?" teased Yang"

"NO!" yelled Ruby. "Of course I'm not!

"Fine, then prove it." Yang retorted with a menacing smile.

"How!" Ruby quickly replied with confidence evident in her voice.

"With a little test, of course!" Exclaimed Yang excitedly.

Yang gave her a very scary smile that let Ruby know she was not going to like her sister's "little test".

So now here was Ruby walking the dark streets of the industrial district, at night, with no one around. She tried to get Yang to come along, but of course she wouldn't, and said that Ruby had to do this alone in order to prove herself. But Ruby's resolve was great and still agreed to go. But her surroundings were starting to get to her. A creak here, a crack there, she even thought she heard a gunshot somewhere far in the distance.

Ruby was strong though, diligent, and unwavering! Nothing could-

"AHHHHHH! A RAT! A RAT! GET AWAY!" screamed Ruby, throwing one of her books, she never got the chance to drop them off at home, at the tiny creature that was causing her so much distress.

This seemed to work well, and the rat ran off into the darkness of a ruined building that seemed like it could fall at any moment

"That was too close" said Ruby, trying to calm down. "I'll have to stay on my toes if I want to get out alive!"

Ruby quickly started walking again in the same direction that she was going before her little "Brush with Death". But this time, she had a new appreciation of life and all of its gifts, or at least until she heard another creak and broke down to start praying to the almighty Monty for her life.

"Please lord save me!" she prayed. "I swear I'll never touch Yang's hairdryer ever again! I swear to you I won't!"

After a few minutes she finally realized how silly she was acting and looked up. The street she was on was actually lit up and she could see that she had stumbled upon a construction site. This made her nervous.

"Uh oh." She said to no one in particular. "Nothing good comes from construction sites in the movies."

Said construction site was also just like those in the movies. Precariously hanging beams, lots of dangerous looking vehicles, and not to mention it was pitch black. Of course the idea of having a new adventure sparked curiosity in the young girl's eyes. The same girl, mind you, which was praying to Monty for life over a rat not 15 minutes prior. She had to investigate though so she set off, taking in the menacing site as she came closer.

"Whoa." Was all Ruby could say as she stared up at the huge construction being built, obviously a building. As she gazed ever higher up the stricter she saw something catch her eye, a black shape of sorts. It looked like a person. It darted from her view just as quick as it captured it. That was it, the last straw, her curiosity was peaked and she could not fight the urge to investigate any longer!

I mean what sane person wouldn't go into a dark dangerous construction lot in the dead of night chasing some shady shadow, right? Also, you should still note that this is the girl who was afraid of a rat! But fate was trying to tell her something when she came upon a rather tall fence blocking her from her goal, but Ruby Rose would not be thwarted so easily!

-10 Minutes Later-

"What the heck is this thing made out of? Diamond!" complained a very irate Ruby after trying, once again, to cut the fence with a pair of wire cutters she found on the ground near the site.

"Guess I'll have to do this the hard way!" Ruby stated heroically, once again talking to herself.

Ruby dropped the useless tool, grabbed the fence, and started to climb. She had tried to avoid this because she wasn't too keen on her cloak snagging and making her fall.

"I will conquer you!" yelled an excited Ruby, but with a hint of fear in her voice. Let it be noted, however, that the fence is about 10 feet high, tops.

She did conquer her obstacle, however, and was now staring into a very poorly lit lot that she knew had to hold tons entertainment. She was starting to think that this trip was not so bad after all!

Unbeknownst to her, however, a group of dangerous thugs was lurking just inside the darkness, planning their move against a large Faunes rights protest taking place the next day, and a deadly assassin was about to make his move to stop them.

Oh Ruby, what have you got yourself into this time.

To say Wolf was dangerous is probably the biggest understatement ever…of all time. He is easily one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, people in Vale, especially when you consider his heritage. You see, Wolf is what most people refer to in old stories as a "Beomorph". Beomorphs are creatures that are stronger, faster, and can live vastly longer than both humans and faunes combined, but against "popular" belief, they can't turn into beowolves. Nobody really knows what they are or that they ever existed because they were believed to have gone extinct generations before, but there were still a few roaming around such as Wolf and his brother Gregory.

Right now though, Wolf is on a mission and it's extremely important. The leader of the White Fang gave him this letter himself, and insisted that wolf get to work immediately.

"You called for me sir." asked Wolf politely, walking up to the desk in the center of the room.

Wolf had been in the old man's office many times before, but there was a very agitated air about it at the moment. Nothing seemed out of place, the Master had various incense around his office, as well as music playing on his radio, very old by the sound of it, and he even had his usual cup of tea. Yes, nothing was out of place, but something was definitely troubling the him.

Yes…I did…look at this." the old leader of the White Fang threw an envelope on the table between him and Wolf.

Wolf opened the envelope to reveal a piece of parchment that had some disturbing claims on it. It told of a group of men planning to bomb an entire Faunes rights protest that was going to take place in a few days, disturbing even to think about.

"May I ask who found this?" Wolf was genuinely curious who could have stumbled upon such an important find, not taking his eyes off the paper.

"Blake Belladona and Adam Taurus." responded the old man. "They are proving to be quite the diligent members."

"Indeed. I have spoken with both of them on a few occasions and they show a lot of potential" stated Wolf. "More importantly though, what do you want me to do with the thugs?"

"Destroy them." said the old man. "Make sure you do it quietly, we can't have the press on our tails, can we?"

"Are you quite certain, sir?" asked Wolf. "I mean we could just bring this to the po-" Wolf was cut off by the man sitting across from him.

"No. We will have to deal with this ourselves. It's not like the humans would help us anyways, you understand."

Of course, sir. It will be done." Wolf assured the old man.

"Remember, make sure you do it quietly, Wolf. We don't need the press, or the police, sniffing around." said the man.

"Of course not, sir. I'll get it done quick and quiet." And with that, Wolf left.

That was two days ago, and wolf was able to track the group of thugs to their temporary hideout in a construction site that had been shut down a week prior. Wolf heard it had to do with some kind of legal issue, it would offer no real help for the task ahead so he let it slip from his mind.

Wolf walked across the dangling hunk of metal, strung up by a crane, toward the road to check that the coast was clear one last time before things got underway. He got to the edge and noticed something red in the distance, it was small, and was looking up at him! He quickly darted back across his perch and jumped into the unfinished building.

'Shit what if they saw me!' Wolf chastised himself inwardly.

Wolf needed to make sure they didn't see anything so he jumped off the dangling piece of metal and onto one of the higher floors of the building. He carefully crept through the shadows and used his night vision, much like a faunes', and spotted the red figure down in the lot outside the fence. She seemed to be just standing there, not really looking at anything in particular. He should be in the clear.

'Hopefully she doesn't get brave' thought Wolf. 'But what if she does? This could get complicated really fast.'

Wolf watched the red figure mess with the fence for 4 or 5 minutes before realizing she would be no problem, and walked away. If only he knew.

Wolf, relieved that red, he decided it was as appropriate a name as any, was either too scared or too dumb, maybe both, to climb the fence. But there was still the worry that they might try it in his absence. Of course, he can't sit there all night waiting for them to leave; he has a job to do.

AN: I forgot to mention this tid bit up top, but I will probably be updating this on the weekends because of school. Expect each chapter to have around the same amount of words, but this might be slightly longer than most. Remember to review!
