Disclaimer: I don't own RWBY


A woman sighed as she wrapped her white cloak around her. She looked around at the snow and walked on, she was determined to get to somewhere to rest. She walked over to the gateway and stepped into the city, careful to ignore any unwanted attention. She slipped into the nearest inn and, with the money she had left, paid for one night. She walked into the small but humble room. The single bed was pushed up against the wall and there was a small bookcase next to it. She smiled and, from her pocket, pulled a small picture of a blonde haired male, holding a small blonde haired girl with lilac eyes. Next to the blonde male was her, holding her small bundle of joy. "I miss you all." Summer whispered. She needed to keep her profile low. She'd been gone for so long that she assumed everyone would think her dead, even Ozpin, as she had been able to contact him since her scroll was broken. "I'll get back to you, I promise." Summer placed the photo back into her pocket and stretched. She laid down on the bed and closed her eyes. She finally felt safe, well safe another for her to sleep.

Summer woke up suddenly by the door to her room crashing open. She placed her hand to her side. She felt the cool metal against her hand. She'd mentally cursed to herself, she'd lost her weapon. Summer opened her mouth to speak but no words came out. She heard high pitch laughing and the sound of a male grunting. Summer knew that she needed to get out of the room, no matter what. As she past the two a strong smell of alcohol hit her nose. She sighed softly, the smell reminded her of Qrow. Even if they had no proper blood relation, he was still like a brother to her. She walked out of the room and stepped into the lobby. She found a sofa and slept there for the night.


The next day she was awoken by a gruff sounding voice. She opened her eyes and saw it was the receptionist from last night. She bit her lip in thought. "Madam. Did you hear me?" He asked. Summer nodded. She had no way of explaining why she was in the main lobby rather than her room but it turned out she didn't need to. "I'm sorry you were kicked out from you're room, Madam. So as an apology, my manager has asked me to give you a free room for one more night." The male explained. "If Madam would like it?" he asked. Summer smiled and looked out of the window at the sheet of glistening white snow. "Shall I let you think madam?" he added. Summer nodded and reminisced about the winters she'd spend with team STRQ. She was cut short by a girl, with white hair tied up in a bun, running past the window. Summer stood up, her huntress instinct forcing her to do so.

Outside she followed the girl to the outer wall of Atlas. Where many terrified residents were watching the Grimm storming into the city. Summer sighed, she wished she could fight but without a weapon she couldn't do anything. Suddenly on of the guards went flying backwards, he dropped his sword and it went clattering towards Summer. She smiled to herself and grabbed the sword. Summer wove her way between several Beowolfs, her blade sweeping across their necks, their lives ending before the battle began. The white haired woman walked up to her and stared at her. "Who are you?" She asked. The white haired woman sighed. "Thank you for you kind help," Winter said. Summer nodded and handed the sword to her. "Keep it. As a thank you." Summer gulped and smiled. She wrapped her arms around her body and shivered. "You must be hungry." the white haired woman said. "Come with me." she ordered. Summer nodded and followed Winter Schnee.


That night Summer returned to the inn she had sleep in the previous night. She sighed and walked up to the main desk. "Hello Madam. This way I'll show you to your new room." The receptionist said, standing up. Summer nodded and followed the receptionist to the stairway. "I must say madam, you're very quiet. Is everything okay?" The male asked, trying to make conversation. Summer shrugged and readjusted her hood. "Ah, not a very talkative young lass then?" he added. Summer laughed and shook her head. "Is everything okay, Madam?" the receptionist asked. Summer nodded. "Okay," the male said before he stopped in front of a door. "Welcome to the best room in this place. Paid for by Miss Winter Schnee." The male said as he opened the door.

Summer stepped into the large room. To her left was a mini kitchen with a small dining room table. In front of her was a door, she opened it and it revealed a moderate size bedroom with a double bed. Summer sighed, this room was luxury to her - at the moment. Left of the bed was a bookcase with a few books to read. Next to the bookshelf was a door that lead to a en-suite bathroom. She smiled to herself and walked back into the main area.

"I hope this is okay for you lass?" the receptionist asked. Summer nodded. A smile crept onto her face. The receptionist left the room leaving the keys near to the door. Summer smiled she walked into the en-suite bathroom and looked around.

The room was fully furnished with a shower in the left corner of the room and a bath across the wall opposite the door. To the right of the of the shower was a toilet and opposite the toilet was a sink. Summer smiled and slipped of her clothes. She ran herself a bath and waited. Once the bath was ready she got in and sighed. She smiled, as she remanisced about her adventures with her team. After she had finished her bath she got dressed and got into her bed. As soon as her head touched the pillow her eyes shut.
