Chapter One: Ice of the Heart

It's been three months since the battle of Beacon, since then Weiss Schnee hasn't adjusted to her 'home' in atlas at all. It was quite the opposite actually. She despised it to her core, being forcibly pulled from her friends in times of distress and terror. Yet all she could think of, besides her friends and her Team, was Winter's words during the Atlas Inspection at beacon. 'You can either go beg for his money back and list reasons you should study at Beacon and not atlas or you can choose to walk your own path.'

These words rang in Weiss's head like a warning siren. Then it was that arm that appeared during her last night in Vale and on Beacon Grounds, she couldn't understand what it was.

As Weiss looked in her vanity from her bed, she could clearly see the scar of the Possession-Type Grimm the scientists and her father made in the Schnee facilities. "Maybe Blake was right... My father's questionable deals and assets are what's really important to him..."

As the snow settled on the window seal, a knock at the door echoed through the room making Weiss jump from her thoughts.

"Y-Yes come in." Weiss said making her voice be heard through the door.

"Weiss." As her father entered the room, in his hand in a sheathe, was Weiss's Rapier Myrtenaster. "It's time we talk about the family business." Weiss's father proclaimed sitting in the chair across from her.

"What about the dust company?" Weiss asked already knowing what her father will say, 'that she'll need to wed a monarch and give birth to a child to keep the business going.'

"It's time you started considering your future. Maybe get married and have a son to k-" he was stopped as Weiss stood from her bed.

"Get out! I will not do that!" Weiss screamed in her mind, but not her mouth. "Father with all to respect, why me? I'm your youngest daughter and Winter is already in her early 20's. Would she not be suited for this job?"

"Your sister has made her way up the chain of command. I have no command over her anymore. That's why from here out, you will obey my every word and give up this fools dream."

As the door closed, Weiss fell to her knees in despair as if her heart was ripped out by her own father.

As the night grew on, Weiss awoke to a figure in the dark. It was a feminine looking figure holding a rapier.

"It's time to make your choice my dear little sister." Her eyes shot fully open to winter's voice. "Do you stay here as father's puppet or be a true huntress?"

Winter stood there awaiting her sisters answer but nothing not even a peep.

"I see. When you do decide, Intel says your friend Ruby Rose is heading to haven." Winter proclaimed as she shit the door, leaving the Rapier on Weiss's bed.

"..."

As morning rose, Weiss with a bag packed started for the mansion's door. 'Hang on Yang... Blake... Ruby. I'm coming.'

As she touched the door, a voice echoes from behind her. "Weiss!"

Weiss turned to see her father at the head of the stairs, bodyguards on each side of him. "Where are you going Weiss? And with my Myrtenaster at that. How did you get that from my study?" Weiss's father asked slowly walking down the stairs.

"Father forgive me... I am not your perfect daughter! I am a Huntress! And my friends... No my team needs M-" slowly Weiss was embraced by her father. Confused, Weiss felt droplets hit her back. She could tell, this man, her father was only trying to keep her safe. All her life, Weiss thought her father has a heart of ice but here he is crying on her.

"You are too much like your mother and sister... Take care of yourself my dear daughter..." Her father squeezed out through his tears.

"I'll be back daddy..." As the door closed, Weiss finally choice her path just as winter did so many years ago.
