Chapter Two

Kill the Innocence

The sun was slowly setting in the horizon as Weiss flew through the air above the city. The young woman's blue eyes were focused upon her task, focusing completely upon the Aura that she had felt from the silver eyed girl. It was quite easy to pick out the Aura after all, the girl wasn't even bothering to hide it, bringing Weiss's suspicion about the said girl out.

She was an untrained girl and it seems that she was also unaware of her Aura.

"Are you going to tell me exactly what's going on Weiss?" the voice from her ear said, "You were quite agitated when you left earlier."

Weiss landed down upon a power line which barely twitched at her drop. The girl then launched herself forward again, running upon the power line as it was solid ground, her black robes dancing behind her with the speed she was moving forward.

"A new girl showed up at Beacon today," the girl said, "And she had an unusually high amount of Aura…similar to Huntresses."

"That's impossible," the voice at the other end said, "No normal person should have had such high amount of Aura within themselves."

"That's what I thought as well," Weiss said, "and this is the reason why I am heading at her place right now. I have to observe her to see if she is a Huntress or if she has any training."

"If her Aura is as powerful as you say, she might be able to see you even as your Huntress form," the voice told her.

Weiss knew that it was a possibility. Normal people's Aura were barely visible meaning that anything supernatural that was going on around them, they shouldn't be able to see nor hear them as a majority of the world of Remnant was…thought, the small size who can actually see her when she is in Huntress form was a rarity.

"It's a risk I'm going to have to take," Weiss answered.

"I see," the voice said, "I'm not entirely for this but I can see how someone having that much Aura can be a problem…but what are you planning to do Weiss?"

Weiss jumped again landing upon a telephone pole.

"I told you," she said, "I'm simply going to observe her. I won't be planning to reveal myself to her and what truly exist in this world…at least, not yet."

"The Aura is going to drawn in the Grimm," the voice told her.

"Which is why I asked you to scan the city for Grimm activities," Weiss answered, "I want to know if they are actually drawn in by her Aura…"

Weiss cut herself off as she stared down at the road beneath her. She recognize where she stood right now as the place where she had taken down the Beowolves. The blue eyed girl stared at the place for a few moments before the dark feeling of the Grimm suddenly engulfed the air around her.

Then the young woman's was completely covered in a shadow, drawing her attention toward the sky which was filled with black feathers and glowing red eyes before a large explosion took place where Weiss had been standing moment before.

The young woman had jumped away from the attack using a high speed move known as Light Steps. Weiss drew out her weapon as the large oversized bird turned toward her and let out a high pitched cry. It was Nevermore, a powerful Grimm and something that had killed Huntresses in the past. The white haired young woman frowned to herself as she glared at the creature across her.

"A Nevermore just appeared," she said.

"And it's not the only Grimm I've detected," the voice in her ear said.

Weiss narrowed her eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"I've detected more Grimm activities East of Vale," the voice told her.

Weiss cursed softly.

It's the direction where the Aura is coming from, she thought.

"They are attracted to it," she said, "All the more reason I should hurry up here and take down this Nevermore."

The large Grimm launched straight toward her and Weiss raised her sword as the bird Grimm took to the skies above her and then with a single swing of it's wings, it launched large feathers down straight toward where Weiss was as the young woman raised her hand.

"Dust Level 25, Imperial Wall," she said.

A large wall appeared out of nowhere in front of Weiss as the feathers met their marks but none of them managed to break through the wall that she had created. Weiss narrowed her eyes lightly at the Nevermore in the air before she used her Light Step technique to actually move at high level speed so that it seemed that she had disappeared into thin air.

She had reappeared right above the Nevermore's head with her sword raised high into the air. Then she came down upon the creature with a single slash of her weapon causing the Nevermore to let out a piercing screech of pain as it flew backward through the air as blood flew out of the wound. Weiss didn't waste another second as she launched straight toward the creature, her eyes narrowing lightly at the creature in front of her as a blue glow started to appear around her body and her sword.

"Myrtenaster, Ice Coffin," she said.

She sliced through the Nevermore causing ice to completely overcome the creature's entire body as a large ice shaped snowdrop appeared in the sky above the city of Vale before it completely break into little pieces of ices.

The white haired girl huffed lightly at the amount of power she just used before turning toward where the darkness of the Grimm power was and launched herself there.

Ruby Rose was glad that school was over so that she could actually walk home with her sister. The young woman was glad to have made new friends today but she was still feeling put off at being here in a new school other than being there at Signal.

So she was looking forward to get home and talk to her friends back at Signal with her scroll. The young woman was humming lightly underneath her breath with the headphones she was wearing blasting one of her favorite songs.

Soon enough, both her and Yang arrived home and Uncle Qrow was there. The man was talking on the phone when they entered and he waved at them as they entered and the girls waved back. Ruby instantly ran upstairs to her room so that she could get the school outfit from her form. She placed the headphones upon the bed and started to take off her clothes when she heard it.

The girl turned her attention toward her open window which a soft wind was blowing lightly through it. Ruby stayed still for a few moments, wondering if she had heard what she thought she heard but the girl simply shrugged herself off as it being her imagination.

"Hey Ruby, get down here," Yang yelled.

The young girl let out a soft groan as she made her way out of the room and down toward the kitchen. She found that Yang had placed some food on the table meaning they were going to start eating dinner. The sunset was starting to set as night quickly approached and the girl simply seated down upon her chair before she started to eat.

"So how was your first day of school?" Qrow asked, glancing at the two girls.

"It was great," Yang answered with a small shrug, "Made some new friends today too."

"What about you Ruby?"

"It was okay," Ruby answered, "It's just the first day…met some new people today too."

"And here you were worrying about not making any friends," Qrow laughed.

Ruby looked a little sheepish.

"I guess I was worried over nothing then," she said.

"That you were," Yang told her.

Ruby glanced at her Uncle.

"Then, we won't be moving anymore right?" she asked.

Qrow stayed silent for a few moments, thinking it over.

"Not in the foreseen future," he said, "The job I managed to snag today is giving me a good pay. In a few years, I might even make enough money to send the two of you to college."

Then a piercing howl cut through the air causing Ruby to suddenly turn her attention at where the howl had come from. The window was open, meaning that it was probably a dog of someone that lived nearby but never before had Ruby heard a dog like that before.

"Something the matter?" her uncle asked, noticing her sudden tenseness.

"Didn't you hear that howl?" Ruby asked.

Qrow looked confused at her.

"Howl?" he repeated.

Ruby nodded, "Yeah just now there was this loud howling…?"

"What in Remnant are you talking about? There was no howling."

Ruby was confused. He didn't hear that howl just now?

"Yang?" she said.

Her sister had her headphones on and was looking at something on her Scroll so there was no way in hell Yang could have heard the howl so Ruby simply returned to her food. She didn't know why but the sound of that howl…it filled her with fear.

After dinner was finished, Ruby made her way back upstairs and into her room. She couldn't understand how nobody had heard that strange howl that came from outside. She knew that she had definitely heard that noise coming from outside but…

Another howl echoed outside again, drawing Ruby's attention toward the window yet again. It was the same one as earlier and unlike last time, it sounded a lot closer to the house than before, almost like they were on the street just below her window. While Ruby was never one to look for danger, her curiosity had already gotten her into a lot of troubles before back at Signal and it was kind of strange that uncle Qrow said that he couldn't hear anything…

Ruby didn't know whether he was lying or not but she knew that she was approaching the window to see exactly what had caused the howl. Having heard it a lot closer now than before, Ruby had come to realize that it didn't sound like a dog's howl at all. It was more on the line with a wolf's howl but even so, something within her was telling her that it was not the case either…

The young girl reached her window and pulled the curtain just a little crack so that she had a small view of the street outside. The street lamps were all illuminated so she had a pretty good field of vision at the world outside but to her surprise, there was nothing in the streets.

It was deserted of animals or dogs or any of the culprits that she had expected to see. The dark haired girl shook her head before she closed the curtain as well as her window before making her way for her bed.

Then a scream shattered the silence that was around her, one filled with pure and uncontrollable terror and then instantly followed by a crash.

Ruby recognizes the voice as Yang's and she felt her own heart jump in her chest at the fear she had heard in Yang's voice. Never in all her life has she heard Yang screamed like that in past and it only grew her fear as to what she was going to find downstairs as she ran down the steps.

When she arrived in her kitchen, Ruby came to a stop.

Yang was there hanging in midair in front of her as she was against one of the wall of the house, but it wasn't that that had the silver eyed girl eyes growing wide. No…it was what stood in front of Yang and what was holding her sister up against the wall.

It was big, easily bigger than a full grown man and standing on its two feet. It was also skinny like a man but it was covered in some sort of darkness that filled Ruby's heart with a cold and empty feeling. Ruby stared at the being in front of her unable to neither move nor scream.

Then one of the darkened creatures turned the burning red eyes toward her form and Ruby finds herself staring straight into a jaw filled with teeth and a bone white mask that chilled her to the bone. The creature let out a howl, exactly like the one Ruby had heard earlier revealing itself as the culprit being the chilling howls.

"R…Ruby…," Yang gasped struggling against the hold one of the creatures had upon her, "R…Run…Get out of here."

But Ruby couldn't run.

Her legs were frozen with fear as the creature approached toward her, the glowing red eyes fixed upon her trembling body. She couldn't even do anything as the beast launched itself toward her. She could hear Yang screamed out her name as Ruby was pushed down by the creature…feeling the darkness of the creature even more now as hopelessness completely filled her entire being…

Then a bright blue light shone from somewhere above her and then the dark creature was removed from her fallen body and the strange darkened feeling that had completely overcame her being was instantly removed almost like it was a cover that she had been covered in was lifted.

Ruby blinked to herself as she slowly seated up hearing another howl and then a resulting crash coming from the kitchen. The girl instantly sprung upon her feet, running toward where Yang was. Her older sister was lying down upon the side of the wall, blood completely covering her shirt.

"Oh god, Yang," Ruby yelled out running to the blonde's side.

In front of Ruby's very eyes, the blood that was upon Yang's form evaporated until all that remains was just Yang's prone form lying against the wall, unconscious. Ruby couldn't understand what was going on right now but she had to make sure her sister was safe. She had to make sure that everyone was safe…

"Yang…Yang," she said shaking the girl but the blonde was unresponsive.

The howls pierced the night again, drawing Ruby's attention toward the hole that was blown in their kitchen wall. The dark haired girl quickly made her way toward where the hole was and was now into the empty streets of East Vale.

There was a howl again and Ruby turned toward it seeing one of the large creatures which had attacked her and Yang falling down upon the ground unmoving. Ruby stared at it, noticing how it's body had started to evaporate like a mist in the morning sun. Then the sound of a snap drew her attention upward toward a black clothed figure standing above the evaporating creature.

Ruby couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman but one thing she notices instantly was the long flowing white hair which danced behind the figure as a soft wind blew through it. Then in the blink of an eye, the figure was gone as well as Ruby finds herself standing alone in the empty street.

Weiss stood in midair as she stared down at the girl on the street below her. The girl was able to see her, even in her Huntress form, she could read it from how the girl had reacted to her. The Grimm had been coming for that girl and her sister. Weiss had been nearly too late in reaching the girls thanks to her battle with the Nevermore. If that damn bird hadn't interfered, she would have been able to deal with the Beowolves before they could ever reach the home of the two girls.

And it seems that it wasn't only the silver eyed girl that had an Aura too big to be normal. The blonde girl she had rescued also had a similar sized Aura and it made Weiss wonder who exactly these two girls are. The man, however, seemed to be a normal man out the strange trio. It was puzzling as to how two people with such strong Aura were so helpless against those Beowolves.

Which only reinforces my suspicions about them, she thought, They are untrained and unaware of the Grimm and of their Aura. With the amount that they are releasing without their own knowledge…its' like they are signaling every Grimm in the vicinity to come and attack them.

"Mission accomplished right," the voice at the other end told her.

"I want a Barrier to be set around the East side of Vale," Weiss told him, "As well as around Beacon."

"A barrier? What for?"

"It's not just the younger one that has a strong Aura," Weiss said, "It's the two new students and from what I saw tonight, they are untrained and can't control the release of their Aura. Having them like that is going to be signaling all of the Grimm to an all you can eat buffet table."

"I see," the voice said with as soft hum, "Do you want them similar to the ones you have around Shnee Estate?"

"Yes," Weiss answered.

"So what's the verdict?" the voice asked her, "Are you going to make contact with those two or are you going to let them fumble in the dark? After a night like this one…"

"I am well aware," Weiss cut off, a soft sigh growing from her lips, "I want a background check on these two girls. I need to know their past because I don't like these coincidences."

A soft chuckle echoed in her ear.

"Two young girls untrained with powerful Aura decided to come to this town where a Huntress is active," the voice said, "and considering how rare it is to actually have such powerful Auras…it makes me wonder if there isn't something else at play here…"

Weiss wondered about that too and she didn't like where these thoughts lead her.

Their different worlds met...
