A/N: Sorry for the wait I didn't plan on it taking so long to get this chapter finished, but here it is. Also, I am continuing the My Goddess story on ao3 (Archive of our own) and am actually working on the second chapter right now, which hope to have finished by Friday, and I can get it beta read over the weekend. I won't post a pumpkin scythe chapter next on this sight. Instead, I will be posting a forbidden rose chapter as it has been a while since updated that story which I will start working on Monday even if I haven't finished the my Goddess story. Anyways enjoy the chapter and sorry for the long author's note.

Ruby and her wives decided to take a vacation to Patch to visit her father and show the kids where Ruby and Yang grew up. Shortly after they arrived, the kids asked if they could go outside and play. Ruby gave them permission to go outside and play, so long as, they stayed out of the woods. They said okay and ran outside.

However, being the curious ten-year-old kids that they were, with Jade being nine, it didn't take long for them to disobey Ruby and go into the woods; with the help of Summer talking them into it.

"Guys, we shouldn't be doing this," Kuroi said nervous, afraid of being caught, "What if they look outside and see we aren't there?"

Kuroi was wearing a red shirt with a black cartoon cat's face across her chest, with dark tan cargo shorts, and black wavy hair with red tips down to her shoulders.

"Quit being such a scaredy cat, Kuroi," Summer replied at giggling at her pun, "We'll only be gone for ten minutes, fifteen at the most."

Summer was wearing a yellow shirt with black sports shorts and had her thick blonde hair with red tips down just past the middle of her back.

"I'm with Kuroi on this one," Jade chimed, "Mommy can be really scary when she wants to be." Jade continued, referring to her mother, Emerald.

Jade was wearing a green t-shirt with black sports shorts, and her green hair with red tips up in twin tails.

"Five minutes of exploration should be fine," Rosa said a little nervous, wanting to explore, but not wanting to get caught.

Rosa was wearing a white shirt with white cargo shorts, and her white hair with red tips in a ponytail.

"What do you think, Lucy? Should we head back or go explore for a bit?" Summer asked, looking at Lucy.

Lucy was wearing a purple shirt and tan cargo pants, and her light blonde hair down to her shoulders.

"Kuroi and Jade do make good points that we will get in major trouble if we are found out, but so long as we don't go too deep into the woods and hang around the edge, we shouldn't get in too much trouble if our parents find out we went into the woods," Lucy answered.

"So, is that a yes or no to exploring the woods?" Summer asked.

"That's a yes, though we should keep the house in sight," Lucy replied, "or at least have the house in sight of one of us while also having the rest of the group in sight."

"Alright, sounds fair enough," Summer said. "Does that work for everyone else?"

"Yeah, that works," Rosa replied.

"I can live with that," Kuroi replied, "but you're taking the majority of the blame if we get caught."

"Whatever," Summer said.

"I guess, I'm okay with that," Jade muttered, still a little nervous.

"Good, then let's go exploring," Summer smiled triumphantly, and they marched a bit deeper into the woods.

They walked into the woods until Jade, who was in the back of the group, lost sight of the house. They then took a few steps back before turning to the right and carrying on their adventure. However, when they started walking again after they turned, Jade saw a cute little bunny hop out of a nearby bush.

"Awww," Jade cooed quickly, where the others couldn't hear her.

Jade try to approach the bunny slowly, but the bunny saw her and started to hop away. Jade, not wanting to let the bunny get away, quickly chased after it, deeper into the woods.

After five minutes had passed since Jade went chasing after the bunny unnoticed, Lucy said, "Okay, we need to head back now. They should be almost done talking and will check on us."

"Alright, let's head back then," Summer sighed, clearly wanting to explore more.

They all turned around, and Kuroi noticed that Jade wasn't behind her when she turned around.

"Hey, where's Jade?" Kuroi asked and started looking around for her little sister. "She was supposed to be right behind me, but she isn't here."

"You lost Jade!?" Lucy and Rosa shouted.

"I didn't lose her," Kuroi retorted, "She must have wondered off when we weren't looking."

"So you did lose her," Summer said.

"No, I did not!" Kuroi shouted getting mad at being the one to blame, "I never agreed to be the only one to look after her."

Rosa sighed, "Kuroi is right. We all agreed to look after Jade together, which means we're all to blame for losing Jade."

"Well, if Jade just got distracted by something along the way then we should be able to find her if we just backtrack the way we came," Lucy said calmly, and they started to head back the way they came, calling Jade's name.

They walked all the way back to the house, but couldn't find Jade anywhere along the path they walked.

"Where is she?" Kuroi asked worriedly.

"I thought you said she would be where back along the way we came?" Summer asked Lucy.

"I said if she got distracted by something she might be, but she must have wandered off deeper into the woods," Lucy replied.

"What do we do now?" Rosa asked.

"We're just going to have to face the music and tell our parents we lost Jade," Lucy replied.

"Are you insane!?" Summer shouted. "We'll be grounded till we're a hundred if we tell them we lost Jade. We should just go into the woods after her."

"Are you crazy, Summer?" Kuroi asked, "We've never been in these woods before. What if our parents check up on us and find out we are still in the woods? What if we got lost trying to find Jade? Or what if we run into a Grimm, huh? We have no weapons to fight them with."

When Kuroi mentioned the Grimm, Lucy, Summer and Rosa became even more worried for Jade. They started to head inside and tell their parents they lost Jade when they heard Jade's scream come from the woods. They instantly took off in the direction of the scream.

Summer activated her semblance, which allows her to build up speed for as long as she remains moving, to go faster than her sisters. It didn't take long for Summer to reach Jade. Summer reached Jade just in time to see a young beowulf lunge at Jade, who was backed up against a tree. Summer quickly tackled Jade out of the way, and the beowulf slammed into the tree.

Jade and Summer tumbled along the ground, coming to a stop with Summer's back hitting another tree. Jade clung to Summer tightly and cried into her shoulder, being extremely scared. Summer rubbed Jade's back and tried to soothe her cries.

The beowulf shook its head after he slammed into the tree before looking at Jade and Summer. It growled at them, and Summer glared back at it while hugging Jade tighter. The beowulf lunge at them and Summer turned them where she was between Jade and the beowulf, knowing that she wouldn't be able to dodge it with Jade in her arms.

Summer squeezed her eyes tightly, waiting for the beowulf to sink its claws or teeth into her, but it never came. When she opened her eyes and turned her head to see what happened, she saw an absolutely angry Ruby staring down at her with crescent rose out in scythe form. Summer gulped, wishing the beowulf had finished her off instead of having to face what she was going to from Ruby.

Ruby heard feet skidding to a stop, and she turned around to see Lucy, Summer, and Rosa looking at her in fear.

"We're going back to the house now," Ruby growled and started walking back to the house.

The five kids followed their mother silently back to the house to scared of what their punishment would be.

When they arrived back at the house, the kids were quickly enveloped in hugs by their respective mothers.

"I was so worried about you," Emerald said tightly hugging her daughter, "those woods can be very dangerous."

"We know, and we're sorry we just wanted to go exploring a bit," Summer replied, "We only meant to hang around the edge of the woods, but wound up getting distracted and going in deeper."

"Are girls aren't hurt anywhere?" Weiss asked.

"No, luckily Mommy got us before—" Rosa said then saw Ruby appear behind all her wives with a sign that said, "Don't mention the Grimm."

"Before what?" Weiss asked.

"Be we got hurt or ran into any Grimm," Kuroi chimed in quickly.

"That's good to hear, but you all are grounded until further notice, understand?" Glynda said.

"Yes, Ma'am," the children replied in sync, lowering their heads.

"Now go to your rooms," Glynda said.

"We don't know where are room here yet," Lucy replied.

"I'll show you," Ruby replied and gestured for the kids to follow her.

They followed Ruby down the hall to Ruby's and Yang's old room.

"Why didn't you want us to mention the Grimm to back there, Mommy?" Rosa asked.

"Because if they found out that you ran into a Grimm, then I would be spending all vacation hunting Grimm," Ruby replied, "Now stay in here until one of us comes and gets you for dinner."

"Yes Ma'am," Rosa and Lucy said, while the others stayed quiet.

Ruby nodded and left the room, shutting the door behind her.
