"Keep moving girl! Don't make this any harder on yourself." A hard angry voice growled out quietly.
The owner of said voice was a tall man, around six and a half feet tall with pitch black hair, amber eyes, and pale skin. On the top of his head were a pair of lion ears, identifying him as a Faunus. His arms were thick with muscle and he gripped a large axe in his right hand. The blade was single edged, the other side being a large hammerhead, mounted on a three foot long ebony shaft tipped with a spearhead. Pretty much a single handed halberd combined with a maul.
He wore simple clothing, more suited to heavy labor than anything else. A patchwork set of overalls, some sturdy looking black boots, and a black sleeveless shirt that had a pin with the White Fang's emblem on the chest, though it looked different from what the little girl knew it was supposed to be. Instead of a white wolf's head on a blue background, it was a white wolf's head with three red slashed over it, like an animal's claws. His left hand was tightly gripping a small girl by the arm, dragging her behind him through a dark forest and making sure she stayed close to him at all times.
To Eleven year old Weiss Schnee, he was an angry, unstoppable giant. Her once pristine dress was now torn and dirty, her feet were sore, and she couldn't even open her left eye due to a painful gash she'd received the previous day with only a rough cloth tied over it as treatment. She did her best to swallow her terrified and pained whimpers and valiantly fought the onslaught of tears that gathered, but she couldn't help it. She was scared and worst of all. Alone.
Although she was scared she was trying to keep herself somewhat calm . Weiss knew very well that she had no chance of survival alone, in a Grimm infested forest. There'd already been several times where they'd barely dodged around groups of Boarbatusk, and the man had been forced to cut down a stray Beowolf before he'd doubled their pace to avoid any of its pack coming to investigate.
On top of all of these problems, Weiss had to worry about whether her sister had even managed to survive the events of her abduction. She kept telling herself that he had, and that there was already a search underway for her, but things had been awfully bad the previous day.
It was supposed to be a simple trip into town with her sister Winter. With their father in atlas on business and Winter about to leave for school, the sisters decided that they should spend some time together. They were dinning at a nice fancy restaurant, when suddenly smoke covered the entire room. Three Faunus stormed the place and grabbed both Winter and Weiss Schnee. Winter tried to fight back but was out match, when Weiss tried to step in to help her in anyway one of the Faunus hit her with the back of their weapon. One of the men grabbed Weiss and took her.
Since then Weiss had been dragged far away from the city, deep into the snowy woods. The man hadn't even stopped to sleep. She'd given up trying to figure out what he wanted. The only thing he'd tell her was to keep moving and stop talking. Eventually they came to a clearing where a trio of Faunus were waiting for them. They were wearing some sort of haphazard uniform, black pants, a white vest with a painted on White Fang symbol over a black shirt, black hood and a crude mask that covered just the upper half of the face. They also carried mining picks that bore the SDC's logo. Weiss Recognized two of them when her and Winter were attacked, making her more worried about her sister.
"There you are Jones. I was starting to get worried you'd gotten lost. Good job with the capture." The one in the middle said.
The man in front of Weiss let out what she thought was a growl.
"For the millionth time its pronounced Johannes. Say it with me, Jo-han-nes. Seriously its not that hard to say, and the capture It wasn't difficult. We managed to catch the humans by complete surprise and the girl dropped right into my hands after trying to save her 'precious' sister. " The now identified Johannes said.
He then pushed Weiss towards the White Fang members who quickly bound her hands behind her with a length of coarse rope.
"P-P-Please, l-l-let me go." She whimpered out, sniffling loudly. She abandoned all pretenses of bravery right there, descending into loud sobs. "W-what do you want from me!?"
"Shut up girl!" One of them hissed at her.
"These woods are full of dangerous creatures that would love to have you for a snack. You'll be coming with us until your father finally gives the Faunus under his employ fair and equal treatment. We tried things the nice way, but that didn't work out for us. So now we're doing it this way." Another one said.

Eleven year old Jaune Arc navigated his way around the trees and bushes. The sun was beginning to set and he knew his parents would be getting worried by now. They always warned him about how dangerous the woods around the town were and that he should never go out into them when it got dark. Oakfield, the town, itself was safe due to the garrison of soldiers they had, and a pair of resident Hunters, one his father Jack Arc, and the other his mother Juniper Arc. But the woods surrounding the town were still full of Grimm. The majority had been cleared out in a radius of a couple miles around Oakfield, but it was impossible to wipe them out completely.
He had a few pouches full of plants and herbs he'd been asked to collect. He was sent out by his sister, She needed the Herbs for medical Procedures as she was training to be a doctor. The sudden Snow Storm had hit the town hard, a lot of people got really sick. It was hard trying to find the specific herbs she needed but Jaune got the job done nonetheless.
The road connecting to the highway wasn't even in working order, the snow storm and some Grimm having damaged it to the point it wasn't safe to travel. They'd have to wait for the snow to melt before it could be fixed.
Glancing up Jaune noted the position of the sun. It was nearly to the horizon already, so he'd have to really hurry if he wanted to get back to Oakfield before dark.
Double checking the herb packs, Jaune started jogging back home, easily navigating the familiar terrain as it began to darken.
A few minutes into his trip he began hearing voices nearby. That was odd. No one was supposed to be outside of Town unless it was necessary. He supposed they could've gotten worried about how long it was taking him to get back and sent someone to look, but he didn't recognize any of the voices. Whatever the case, it piqued Jaune's curiosity and he crept closer to the voices, being careful not to make any noise.
Of course he was not prepared for what he found. A tied up, very pale, one eyed girl in tattered clothes, and in very clear distress, a giant of a man with lion ears and a scary looking axe, and a trio of cult looking people carrying pickaxes.
"What in the..." Jaune whispered to himself, leaning further around the tree for a better look.
"Is that...blood?" Indeed, the brown cloth around the girls left eye seemed to be stained in the substance. She was crying as well, though she quieted slightly when one of the adults growled something out at her.
Well Jaune had seen enough. Whoever these guys were, they were clearly the bad guys in this scenario. Unfortunately, Jaune knew he didn't have time to go back to town and get help. It'd take him at least half an hour to make the round trip at full speed, and that was with daylight on his side. Who knows where they'd have gotten to in the mean time?
Jaune gulped, there was no other option. It was up to him to save the girl. Unfortunately, the only thing Jaune had with him was a small pocketknife. Definitely not something that could stand up to the Lion Faunus's axe, or to any of them really.
Well, maybe he could just follow them, wait for them to fall asleep, sneak in and get the girl out. Jaune Smiled that was it the perfect plan. There was no way they'd see him coming. These woods were practically his backyard and it'd be dark soon. The men would have to set up camp soon, and that's when he'd strike. Jaune could practically taste the triumph.
So, as sneakily as he could, Jaune followed the kidnappers, stepping as lightly as he could. He'd have to be careful about the snow on the ground. The crunching of it underfoot could quickly ruin his whole plan, not to mention any fragile sticks they might be concealing.
It didn't take long for them to stop, building a small fire and securing the girl to one of the trees. She collapsed like a puppet with her strings cut, slumping in exhaustion. Jaune felt bad for the girl she must be so scared. Granted he was scared too, One wrong move and he's finished.
Jaune hoped his parents weren't too worried about him. He was out well past his curfew, and in the forest no less. But he had always been taught that he should do his best to do the right thing at all times, and what could be more right than rescuing someone from kidnappers?
When it seemed like the men had let down their guard, Jaune crept up around the camp until he was behind the captured girl. Careful not to draw any attention to himself, he crept his way towards the girl, basically crawling. Every inch closer he lost some of his confidence. What was he thinking!? There were four full grown men here, armed with axes and picks. He was a twelve year old boy with a pocket knife. What kind of difference could he possibly make here?!
What did you get yourself into this time Jaune. He thought to himself.
Blood pounding in his ears, Jaune managed to finally creep up behind the miserable looking girl and quickly began sawing at the rope, the small edge making slow but steady progress.
Weiss sat slumped at the base of large oak tree, grateful for the opportunity to rest. Her body throbbed with ache, especially her legs and eye. The harsh pace and denial of any real rest, food or water was taking its toll on her, as cramps threatened to overtake her legs and her stomach growled in displeasure.
As the youngest child in a very rich family, there had never been a time that she'd had to go so long without food. It'd been over a day since she'd last eaten, and she was feeling very light headed. And being the pampered girl she knew she was, she wasn't used to such physical exertion.
The three Faunus they'd met up with were hovering around the small fire, made just large enough to illuminate the area, but too small to provide any real warmth. The man who'd taken her,Johannes had disappeared somewhere. Weiss briefly wondered where he'd gone to before deciding that she really didn't care. It wouldn't make any difference.
An insistent tugging on her hands drew her attention. Looking over her shoulder, she jerked in surprise. There was a blonde boy who looked to be her age lying behind her, sawing at the ropes holding her with a small pocketknife. He looked incredibly nervous, terrified even, but he kept at it determinedly.
Quickly looking back at the Faunus tending the fire, Weiss began to feel a little bit hopeful. They seemed to be completely oblivious to the blonde's presence. Maybe this boy would be able to get her out of there before Johannes returned from wherever he'd gotten to and she could finally go home!
The boy looked up to her.
"As soon as i'm done run. Don't even think about looking back, You hear me." He whispered to her.
She nodded.
Her heart pounded as he cut threw the rope as quietly as possible, Almost done.
Snap!
The rope cut and The boy suddenly grabbed her hand and took off they had made it a total of ten feet before an axe flew right past Jaune's head and into the tree.
Turning around Jaune and Weiss Saw that none other than Johannes.
"Just what do you think you're doing boy?"
"I-I I don't have anything to say to kidnappers like you!" Jaune cursed the tremor in his voice. Hero's weren't supposed to stutter in the face of danger! His father never would've done something so embarrassing.
"Hey! Watch your mouth kid! A country bumpkin like you wouldn't understand anything about us!" One of the Faunus shouted, moving forward menacingly.
Jaune's sense of justice overrode his sense of self preservation.
"I don't have to understand you! Kidnapping is and always will be wrong!"
"Johannes what should we do? There's supposed to be a still developing town nearby, and if they come looking for the boy we could be in trouble.
Johannes grunted in annoyance. "We don't have much of a choice. If we let him go he'll tell the authorities about us. We don't have the resources to maintain a lot of dead weight, so we can't bring him with us. We'll have to kill him and hope the Grimm find his body before anyone from Oakfield does."
"What? are you serious? I mean, yea I get it, but...he's just a kid." The first cult member said, holding his pick to his chest uncomfortably.
"We don't have a choice! It's either this, or the White Fang and every Faunus in the world pays for it!"
Johannes charged Jaune and Weiss. Jaune was frozen in fear, Here he was pretending to be something he's not. Weiss took action grabbing his hand, they ran.
Johannes grabbed his axe that was lodged in the tree and gave chase; they were children and in grim infested forest they wont get far.
Weiss and Jaune ran as fast as their little feet could carry them. Unfortunately for them it was dark, real dark. Jaune was trying to navigate back to his town, it was just a little ways away.
Suddenly what sounded like a snarl came from behind the runners. Turning around Jaune and Weiss were face with a small pack of beowolf's.
"Can we catch a break?" Jaune asked to no one in particular.
"Sorry, kid looks like this isn't you're night."
Turning around once more and they were confronted by the Faunus.
"You just had to say something..." Weiss whispered to Jaune.
"Alright Girl, come with us and you won't get swallowed up by the grim... As for the boy, well sorry." Johannes said with a devilish smile.
"So... uh you're pick really, charge into the people who wants to chop are, and by are I mean mine, heads off, or charge into the grim who need their midnight snack?" Jaune asked Weiss.
Weiss looked up into the eyes of the boy. They were blue, ocean blue. She didn't know if she should call him brave or stupid, but still, he went through all this trouble just for her."
Weiss smiled as she took hold of his hand once more. Before giving a glare to the group of Faunus.
"No thanks.I think we'll both take our chances with the grim... Jones." She said with venom in her voice.
They turned around and both charged towards the Grim, the beowolf's charged them as well, the one closest to them raised its deadly arm about to swipe down on their pray. Jaune and Weiss closed their eyes waiting, only for it to never come.
Opening their eyes they saw what looked to be an older version of Jaune with a sword and shield in his hands. The sword blocking the deadly arm while the sword found its way right into the beowolf's face.
"D-dad?" Jaune said in relief. The man in question looked down at Jaune.
"Quick Jaune hurry up and get back to town. We'll handle this."
"We?" Weiss asked.
As if her question was answered a women with short brown hair stepped into view. She was very slim and looked to be around five foot. As Jaune's dad took care of the Grim, She sent a deadly glare to the Faunus's. She also took a quick note of their pick axes. The Schnee dust company?
"So, Tell me just what you were going to do to my baby boy?" She said as she cracked her knuckles.
"Mom!" Jaune said, glad that both his parents were here.
"Do as you're father said Jaune leave it to the grown ups to... Take out the trash. You're sister is waiting for you. Run!"
Without a second thought Jaune and Weiss took off.
"Juniper. Try you're best not to... Break them, we do want to turn them into the proper authorities." Jack Arc said as he took down another beowolf.
She deviously smiled as she stared down the men.
"I'll try honey... But no promises."
"What are you guys waiting for she has no Weapon, Kill her!" Johannes yelled blindly charging her with his axe in hand. He swung at her with all his might only for her fist to met it head on. When her fist hit the axe something strange happened the axe broke into peaces. She grabbed Johannes by his shirt and punched him dead in the face. Repeatedly. He fell to the ground... Unconscious. She looked up only to discover that the other Faunus had fled.
She looked over to discover that her husband had just decapitated the last beowolf. She let out a sigh.
"Let's go home."

"Jessica!" Jaune yelled. Bursting into his house, pulling Weiss in behind him.
Not a moment later a blond haired, green eyed woman entered the room.
"Jaune, There you are! Where were you? Why did you take so long? You had us all worried sick. Are you hurt?" She fused over him being the overprotective sister.
"What? Hey, Je- quit it!" Jaune flapped his arms, waving away his sister's fussing. "Weiss is the one that's hurt."
The woman glanced behind Jaune, finally noticing the battered and exhausted girl swaying on her feet.
"Oh my goodness! You poor thing! Come with me and I'll fix you right up, don't you worry honey."
Weiss was quickly herded to a very comfortable couch that she collapsed onto. "Wait right here sweetie, I'll go grab my medical kit and be right back."
Jaune clambered onto the couch next to her.
"Don't worry Weiss Jess is studying to be a doctor, you're in good hands" He said with a reassuring smile.
"T-thanks."
A few short moments later Jaune's sister returned with a large hard wood box, which folded open to reveal many compartments full of medical tools.
"My name is Jessica, I'm Jaune's older Sister. I'm going to take a look at your eye alright?" Weiss tiredly nodded her consent, barely able to stay awake.
Jessica carefully peeled the cloth away from Weiss's eye, making the girl whimper a little at the painful pulling. She didn't hesitate to grasp Jaune's hand tightly when he slipped his hand into hers.
Jessica made a sympathetic noise. "Ooh, poor girl. That must've really hurt when you got it. But don't worry, I'll have you all patched up soon."
It's a good thing she got here when she did. Any longer and the infection would have really set in. She probably would've lost the eye. But luckily enough, I've managed to catch it in time, though she'll have a quite a scar to show for it. Jessica thought to herself.
As quickly and gently as she could, she cleaned and dressed the gash, thanking god that the wound was shallow enough that stitches wouldn't be required. Weiss whimpered louder when the alcohol touched her wound, trying to pull away as Jessica held her head firmly in place, and tears gathered in her eyes. She gripped Jaune's hand tighter as she weathered the pain. Jess estimated that it'd be at least four days until she could remove the bandages.
"There we go, all done honey." Jessica said, tucking the end of the bandage away.
"Now! " She lightly clapped her hands together with a friendly smile. "How does something to eat sound?"
Weiss's mouth was already watering at the mention of food, and she nodded vigorously, making her eye throb with the motion. It seemed like forever since the last time she'd eaten.
Jessica got Weiss and Jaune settled at the table with a few large bowls of a hearty stew.
"Weiss," Jessica said, looking oddly at the way she was eating.
"I don't want you worrying about something as silly as 'eating properly'" She included finger quotes, "after the ordeal you've just gone through. Please, eat, for my sake if nothing else."
The girl had been taking maddeningly dainty bites. At the rate she was going it would take her all night to finish.
Weiss looked conflicted for a moment, before her eye caught Jaune wolfing his food down like there was no tomorrow, and followed his example in inhaling the meal. She had trouble keeping herself from groaning in pleasure once her teeth sank into their first real bite of the meal. It was by far the best thing she'd ever tasted in her entire life.
By the time Jack and Juniper arrived, Weiss was polishing off her second bowl, mopping up the remaining juices with chunks of bread.
"Whoa, the little missus is looking worlds better than before." Jack said cheerfully, claiming one of the free chairs.
"And has a healthy appetite to boot." Juniper said with a laugh.
Weiss blushed, swallowing the last bit of her stew soaked bread. The man radiated cheer and kindness, further setting her at ease.
"Thank you all for saving me. I'm sure my father will reward you greatly for your help." Weiss said very grateful.
"D'oooh," Jack batted playfully at the air.
"Don't be silly. We didn't do any of this for a reward. But, now that things have calmed down and you've been treated and fed, introductions are in order. My name is Jack Arc, I believe you're familiar with my son and Daughter, Jaune and Jessica." He nodded towards them.
"And this beautiful woman is my lovely wife Juniper." He said giving her a sweet kiss.
"My name is Weiss Schnee." She got up and made a shaky curtsy. "If there is anything the Schnee family can do to repay you, I hope you won't hesitate to ask."
"Do you have a way for us to contact your family? I'm sure they're worried sick about you." Juniper asked her.
"Oh yes, do you have a scroll I may borrow?" Weiss politely asked.
"Right this way honey." For the umpteenth time, Weiss found herself blushing in the midst of this family. She wasn't used to such open affection and kindness. Her parents made sure that she got just about everything she wanted, but they were almost always too busy to deal with her and her sister directly.
She was shown to an older model of a scroll, and she quickly entered a number that she'd been told by her father was for emergencies only. The phone only had time to ring once before it was answered, her father's visage quickly filling the monitor. He looked a little bit unkempt.
"Daddy!" She yelled with joy.
"Weiss, thank good- what happened to your eye?! And who are those people with you?! I swear, if I ever find you people you'll regret it for the rest of-"
"Daddy I'm OK! These people saved me from the White Fang." Weiss interrupted her father, inwardly wincing at the act. Hopefully he wouldn't punish her for it later.
Her farther sagged slightly, the fury leaking from his posture. "I'm terribly sorry. Please accept my apologies. Ever since Weiss had been kidnapped, things have been very...trying for me. Please, tell me everything."
Weiss told her father everything she knew, with her rescuers chiming in with their own details. When Jaune had failed to return even half an hour after he was supposed to, Jack and Juniper had gone looking for him. By the time Weiss had finished her portion of the story, she was swaying in her seat, fighting to stay awake. Jack quickly excused them from the conversation and carried the exhausted girl to a guest room. She was asleep before they'd even left the office with the phone.
"Mr. Schnee," Juniper started, "I know you must be extremely worried for Weiss, but I'd like to offer my home as a refuge for her until you've had a chance to get a hold on what's happening. The men who had Weiss were carrying equipment from the Schnee Dust Company, so we can't be sure just how safe she'd be in the cities, but here in Oakfield there isn't a major SDC presence."
Mr. Schnee frowned, It was troubling that Schnee Dust Company property could be so easily stolen from his worksites.
"Excuse my interruption, but mom is forgetting a few details." Jessica cut in. "It won't be safe for you to retrieve Weiss for at least a few weeks. Oakfield doesn't have an operational airport and the roads are in no condition for travel, which makes it difficult to get the supplies necessary for the repairs in this weather. The men who kidnapped your daughter brought her this far on foot through Grimm infested forestland. I wouldn't recommend a return trip."
"You don't have an airport? How can you not have an airport?" Mr. Schnee ran a hand through his white hair, making it even messier.
"The airport was damaged by a few severe snow storms. The same storms that have rendered the roads connecting to the highway unsafe. But Weiss will be in safe hands here. Jack and I are veteran Hunters and we have the full support of the Oakfield garrison."
"I am aware of your reputations Mrs. Arc, but you'll have to forgive a father for worrying." He considered the current situation.
"Very well. I will allow Weiss to stay with you until such a time as I can retrieve her safely. But I want to be notified immediately upon the completion of repairs to the roads and the airport, as well as a list of what can be done to expedite the process. I will make sure the resources necessary for an expedient repairing are made available." Mr. Schnee said in a firm tone.
"Say no more sir, we have a seven children ourselves and although they all might not live with us understand the need to protect them from anything and everything very well. We will look after Miss Weiss as if she were our own." Juniper told the distraught father.
"Thank you again for rescuing my daughter. goodnight Mrs. Arc." Mr. Schnee's image cut off.

Omake
Snap!
The rope cut and The boy suddenly grabbed her hand and took off they had made it a total of ten feet before an axe flew right past Jaune's head and into the tree.
Turning around Jaune and Weiss Saw that none other than Johannes.
"Just what do you think you're doing boy?"
"Um... Just hanging around."
"Hanging Around?"
"Handing Around."
"Thwarting my plan's?"
"Thwarting you're plans?"
"Are You!?"
...
"Yes"
"I'm going to fucking kill You!"
"RUN!"
Hopefully you got the reference!
