Chapter 1
Waiting to die
"What makes it unusually cruel is the waiting. When a man knows the date of his own death, each moment becomes a profound torture." Ranse Truman
The boat carrying team RWBY and the prisoner they were escorting to the island was slow. Along with the convicted killer named Torque, the boat also had other prisoners on board.
Once they near the island a Correctional Officer spoke up, "End of the line." Soon they reach the docks of the island were another CO named Ernesto waited for them. "Welcome to Carnate, inmates. Enjoy your stay." He said.
The team along with the inmates then started to get off the boat. Team RWBY was let out a different exit by one of the CO's. As the inmates got off the boat a CO spoke out with a threat and said, "Any a you have Jackrabbit blood, I will blow you wide open, hear me?"
As the team waited for the bus to pick up the inmates, Ruby felt a shiver go down her spine. "You alright sis?" Yang asked.
"I don't know Yang, it's just... I got this strange feeling when we step on this island. You know." Ruby replied.
"You're not the only one", Weiss said. "I got the same thing as well."
"Me too", Blake said. "There's something off about this island. Not the fact that the creatures of Grimm never spawn here, but I feel that there's something more evil here."
"That's good to hear, because I was hoping I wasn't the only one." Yang said.
Before any of them could speak any further, a commotion got their attention.

Torque stood on the docks waiting for the prison bus when he heard three other inmates talking to each other.
"Ya see that guy? Fuckin' degenerate killed some kids." One said.
"His own kids is what I heard. Fuckin' baby killer." Another said.
"Shit. Sure ain't the kinda whack job I want for a bunk mate." Said a third.
"He won't be around for long. Shitbag's joinin' the short timers on death row." The second one said.
The three talked a little longer until they decided to kill Torque, the three then pulled out some Shvi's that they had been hiding and charge at him. The CO's took notice of this and tried to open the gate to put a stop to it.
However one of the inmates stabbed Torque and this caused him to become enraged. Reality warped around him as he turned into a monster. But in reality he was just a regular man, and he attacked the three that were trying to kill him.
He grabbed one by the neck and slammed him onto the wooden floor of the dock knocking the first one unconscious.
He then backhanded the second one against his face with so much force that it shattered the attackers jaw. He then kicked the last attacker in the chest so hard that he cracked a few of the attackers ribs.
Once the attackers were dealt with the CO's and team RWBY were shocked at what just had happened.
"There's no way." One said.
"Did you see what that psycho did?" Ernesto asked.
Soon reality came back to Torque and when it did he saw his wife Carmen and his two sons Cory and Malcolm. And behind them was some hideous monster that wasn't a Grimm.
Then Carmen spoke to him, "I still believe in you." She said, before disappearing completely.
"What the fuck just happen?" Shouted a CO named Miles.
"Don't move inmate, or we will shoot! Miles, Ernesto, get in there and get him on under control."
"Shit, what're we gonna do with him?" One CO asked.
"Not much we can do. Man's already goin to death row." The other one answer.
Team RWBY and the two CO's entered the holding pen and escorted Torque out and onto the prison bus that had just arrived.
