Chapter 1: Entering the Darkness
A/N: So, I guess if you've followed this story before, I hope you understand that the way I had this going, I think I was kind of doing something stupid. Currently I am also under that side so I am currently reworking the story. I will be deleting all the old A/N's and replacing them along with changing a few things around as to make it seem more sensible instead of a crazy ass story… Also if you're new to this story enjoy it!
*8 years ago Ruby's POV
"Yang, let's go! Mom said she'd be at the train station soon!" I whined out loud since my sister wouldn't wake up, "Fine, I guess I'll mess with your ha-." Lungs failing, c-c-can't breathe… "Don't ever touch my hair…" She lets go of my neck before going back to her worrying self, "Oh no, Ruby I'm sorry!" pulling me into her bear hug I tried to hold back the tears because of my near-death experience.
"I can't believe you forgot the most important rule of Yang's List." She recalls the list while she got dressed in her usual clothes. "Rule number 99! Don't mess with my hair!" I stop her before she continued on, "Yang, I get it but hurry come on I want to see mom!" "FEED US!" I felt a chill go down my spine as I heard that voice, "Yang did you say something?"
She answered no… I was scared. Who s-s-said that… "Ruby, you want to see mom or not? Because I can just leave you at the house while I drive there!" not even stopping to think about it I dash to Yang's car and strap in before she could even continue, "Jeez you're getting a lot faster aren't you? Mom's going to be surprised when she sees you."
"Alright let me just find a parking spot and-." I dash out of the car before even hearing Yang trying to scold me, I was too excited to see mom and didn't want to hear my sister yell at me. But then I hit something and I could only see blackness… Am I dead? Did I get hit by a train or a car? I open my eyes and only see blood. Blood, gore, bones, everyone's dead! "You didn't LISTEN! WE HAD TO DO THAT TO SURVIVE!" I heard the scary voice again, my spine felt like it was frozen over. I run off into the forest by the station hoping no one had followed me and started to cry.
"Who are you? What do you want from me!?" "FOOD! WE NEED TO FEAST!" "Who's we? What are you?" I heard the sound of someone scratching at trees and got scared.
"Whoa, whoa. Hold up if you want an exclamation stay there I'm just sharpening my claws Ruby."
I sat there for what seemed forever until I saw a man in a dark suit that was ripped and with devil-like wings. "Let me introduce myself Miss Rose, My name is Lucius, no last name just Lucius. Now that voice you are hearing is something out of this world. Ezekiel show yourself to your host." "Yes, master…" What felt like my shoulders coming loose two heads appeared out of the both corners of my eyes while Lucius just exclaimed him, "Now, now don't worry they won't harm you… well not yet anyways, but that's not the point. The point is you are special Miss Rose. You have been given a great power but this power is something that requires a source of sacrifice."
I stare at the darkened heads. They seemed to give off a darkish glow to them making them even scarier, "Now this sacrifice can come in many forms, these forms being Grimm killings, blood sacrifices, or even the heart of a human, whether the human is evil or good it will depend on your judgment.
Now there is family you care for, a sister and a mother correct?" Yang and mom! I nod quickly as he sighed, "Always family with you hosts. Next time Ezekiel choose someone that has no ties to their family at all it's getting annoying, But I digress… If you're wondering what happened at the station. Ezekiel just fed, don't worry though your sister wasn't among the dead but I can't say that for your mother although. Do not worry I have changed your sister's memories into thinking you had run away at the age of 3 and your mother had died when she gave birth to you so currently your sister lives alone. I suggest that you do not make contact with her until time calls for it. From now on I will give you these parting gifts." I watch as with a snap of the fingers a hood, a scythe and a jug appeared in the middle of the air.
"From now on your name is to be The Red Rose. This hood is to keep your face hidden and to keep light reaching Ezekiel. This scythe is special though, its name is Crescent Rose. It is a hybrid weapon that combines a high-caliber rifle and a dangerous melee weapon in one, now for the jug I want you to drink of it." I look at him expecting that he would explain it and luckily he did with a sigh, "It is not poisonous, It is just because Ezekiel has not had his full nutrients and the only way through that is either a couple of human hearts or the blood of a demon. But the host if he or she is to drink the blood of a demon, they consume a few powers above any Human or Grimm, even Faunus. These powers are limited to, Speed increase, heightened hearing, acute sense of smell, and an acute sense of sight, also it will allow you to speak to any undead person or any demon but you can't speak to Satan himself considering you need a special mixture for only a temporary term and that mixture is very expensive." He pauses to take a drink from a flash that had magically appeared in his hand before continuing,
"Also since you are young at an age and probably do not understand fighting with your weapon. I will take you to an old friend, his name is Crow. He will be considered your uncle until it is time for you to kill him. Don't worry though considering Ezekiel will take care of that for you…" he chuckles but continues with a straight face, "Come along now Miss Rose, your training awaits thou. Oh and before I forget take this." I look at him with a questionable face as he hands me a dark red crystal, "This crystal will allow you to contact me personally in-case you have any questions, or you want to speak to me about Ezekiel. Do not worry he cannot hear you if we are speaking together." After accepting the crystal and putting it away I listened to Lucius say something that I couldn't make out, but after finishing we had magically appeared in-front of an old dusty building. "Well I'm off now ta, ta!" After that he disappeared. And I was left alone in-front of the scary house…
A/N: I will try and have everything rewritten and redone, just for now please bear with me, I have recently stated that I have only just returned… So please be patient everyone.
