Grimm Huntress

Disclaimer. I don't own rwby and I am not making any money from this fanfiction.

Winter a time of death and rebirth. The old falls apart and gives what's left of its strength to the new life that grows to replace it, for Winter is harsh and unforgiving but it is fair as new life will always come forth to replace the lost old.

As one looked out all that they would see at first would be the white of a small snow storm however the longer they looked the more they would see. The sleeping forest and after even longer they would see two young girls, one wrapped up in an oversized cloak and sleeping in a little red wagon while the other was wrapped up in lots of winter clothes and pulling the wagon along.

As the older girl struggled to pull the wagon through the snowy ground a feeling of hopelessness started to fill her. Yang had come this far with the hope of finding her mother so that she could fix her home, fix her daddy, to fix her broken family.

(Is this all for nothing…. What if the house in the picture isn't there or what if mom isn't there, what if I can't even find the house…..What have I done, I've put Ruby in danger when the chance of finding her, finding my mother is so slim.)

Just as Yang was about to give up and turn around she saw some lights in the distance. (I found it) As Yang came to realize what she found she also knew that she wanted to keep Ruby safe so she pull the wagon behind on of the trees and covered it in some snow like a makeshift igloo so that Ruby wouldn't get cold. Yang didn't know why her mom had left but she didn't want to overwhelm her so she would talk to her first then introduce Ruby.

As Yang approached the house she started to hear voices but none of them sounded like a woman's voice but she continued on only for something to grab her from behind and drag her inside the house.

"So you're sure it's the real deal?" "Of course I only work with legit faunus. This is the current and next location of the Branwen tribe camp sites." "Oh boy the higher up will be singing our praises when we bring this to the next meeting. Especially after that god forsaken tribe fucked us over by raiding one of our campsites."

The men were interrupted from their discussion when their third partner opened the door and threw in a small girl. "Well look what we got here boys. We got ourselves a eavesdropper." As the first two men looked at Yang dumbfounded the third hit them over the head and scolded them for not paying attention to their surroundings. "Soldiers, hitmen, assassins and even hunters that I would understand but you didn't even notice a little girl. You may as well be human."

The other two didn't look very happy at being compared to humans but they took it as they did fail at their task as look outs but the three male faunus quickly gained a look of happiness again as they thought of how they would be rewarded for getting credible information on the Branwen tribe.

They could even leak some out to the human military and hunters to cause the bandit tribe even more trouble. Unfortunately for the three men there luck was about to run out as a large monster made up of rock, ice and trees smashed through the house. "Geist grimm, SCATTER!" Yang knew this would be her only chance and made a brake for it while the three men tried to stay out of the grimm's reach however one of them noticed Yang and gave chase.

Ravens (pov)

As she flew through the air heading towards a white fang safe house Raven was deep in thought trying to figure out how information about the tribe had been leaked. (It must have been Qrow. He must want to talk but why would he try to contact me in such a roundabout way)

Raven had been in such deep thought though that she lost track of her surroundings for a moment and crashed into a tree. This unfortunately woke up said tree reveling it to be a geist. "You're going soft Raven. Finish this thing off and the get rid of those that could harm your family." While some would have called her crazy, Raven liked to whisper to herself to hype herself up .A habit that she'd gained and had been unable too drop during her time at beacon. Raven quickly drew her sword and started tearing apart the false body that the grimm had built for itself.

As the grimm was being torn apart it immediately knew that it could not win. It quickly positioned its body to grab her in a bear hug before leaving its false boy to collapse on her to give it some breathing room to escape and form a new body.

As Raven caught up with it after pulling herself out of the rubble of its body she saw that she had stumbled upon the white fang safe house and two dead faunus. (Well this makes things easier for me)

However just as Raven finished up destroying the last of the information about her tribe she heard a scream. As she rushed to see what was going on she saw Yang running from a man while the Geist was catching up with them.

With a massive burst of speed Raven dashed forward cutting through the Geist's body and intending to decapitate the Faunus man only to be stopped by his own weapon. An extendable staff as he quickly fell into a battle position going for a sweeping strike at Raven's legs which she evaded by jumping up but she got caught in an electric discharge that came from the staff. (So he has been trained. Most likely he is a flunky from one of the hunter academies.) "So where did you flunk out from. It's easy to tell from how weak your stance is. The man growled letting his anger get the better of him and charged forward to strike Raven down only for a portal to open up swallowing her up and then transporting her behind him next to the girl and then lunging forward she cut him down.

Unfortunately Raven had made a mistake. She knew the moment it flew past her as she cut the faunus down. The Geist wasn't dead and it flew into and tried to possess Yang's body.

Yangs (pov)

Everything was going dark. The strange man had hit her over the head as he caught up with her. As she started to lose conciseness Yang started to cry. (It was all for nothing. Ruby and dad will be all alone. I only made everything worse.) Just as she was going to blackout completely she started to feel a burning sensation coursing through her body and a voice that was pushing her to fall asleep. (NO! I won't let things end like this. I won't be the reason my family breaks beyond repair)

The burning sensation grew greater and started becoming unbearable.

Unknown to Yang her aura had been activated by the Geist trying to possess her. As her aura and the Geist fought a surge of energy started to flow threw her body. (It's her, the lady from the picture. My mom is helping me.) There was so much, Yang wanted to say and ask but all she could do was cry and call out to her mom. "Please don't leave me alone" over and over again .

Eveyones pov

Raven could barely hold it together as she pumped her aura into her daughter to keep her alive. It had surprised her though when Yang's aura had activated by itself and how she was fighting of the possession. "Yang this is going to hurt a lot but then you're going to feel better." As she tried to keep Yang calm Raven summoned up some of the magic that being a maiden gave her and forced it into Yang. She almost stopped when Yang started yelling her lungs out from the pain but kept going as she felt the grimm die.

Raven quickly got up wrote a small note and placed it inside of Yang's scarf then left but paused for a moment and addressed Yang. "You may not see me Yang but I'm always watching."

A small smile grew on Yang's face as the darkness finely claimed her and she passed out. Raven felt a warmth travel through her body but she also knew that things would get very difficult for yang down the line as she look at Yang's black right arm. A taint left by the grimm. She quickly left as she sensed he brother arriving in the area.

I do hope that you all enjoy this first chapter and the rest that will follow. I only ask that you be patient with me as I wait for inspiration to strike me as I try to write new stories and update old ones.
