"As you can see, she has silver eyes too."

Summer looked at the woman with a shocked look on her face. Very few people in the world had those colored eyes. Once you did, you were cursed until death and usually it ended soon. Summer watched as the woman's eyes locked with her own and she felt scared. This woman looked like she had seen it, she had experienced everything and it was all from that one look she gave her.

"You have anything you want to say?" the woman asked with her voice sounded angry and demanding.

"I-I-I-

"She's in shock and you don't need to be rude to our leader lady," Raven said and the woman's eyes flashed angrily.

"Kind of cheeky for a kid aren't you?" the woman spat and Miss Swan rolled her eyes.

"I haven't been a kid since I was ten."

Miss Swan laughed, "Sure."

Qrow grabbed his sister's hand, "Calm down."

"Why are they here anyways?" the woman asked.

"Claire, relax."

"Airis, I can't. Look at them! How am I supposed to work with them?"

"Instead of arguing, can we go do our mission?" Taiyang asked.

"Of course," Airis answered.

"You are twins aren't you?" Raven asked.

"Yea, we are."

Summer frowned, "Fraternal?"

Airis nodded.

"How did you end up with the silver eyes and she didn't?"

"The legend of the silver eyes picks someone who can handle the battle and the pain of taking on the world. There is only one set of twins with silver eyes and they died hundreds of years ago. My sister is a great warrior but she could not bear the eyes' power. Though I wonder why a weak little shit has them when she can't even speak for herself and her lackey does for her."

Raven stepped forward her eyes glowing red with anger but Summer held up her hand.

"I'm no better than them, I just happen to make leader. The four of us are equal."

"No one is equal little girl," Claire said.

"You're right but we are all equally different and that makes us equal. If you don't like me that's fine but we are here to ensure everyone's safety."

Claire looked at her sister and got up.

"I'm going to bed."

"Claire-

"Shut up."

Airis looked at her as she disappeared up the steps.

"Is there certain times they arrive?" Qrow asked looking upset.

"It doesn't matter, I'm sending you back," Airis said and started calling Ozpin.

Summer whipped back around and headed outside.

She was angry at that woman for assuming she wasn't strong enough to handle her responsibility of the silver eyes. Summer looked around hoping to see some place to get a drink but it looked mostly like houses than anything. She looked up and saw that the woman named Claire was staring down at her hatefully. She turned away and headed into the center of town.

Summer hadn't noticed that it had gotten really quiet, almost eerie like. She stopped looking around. There were no lights, no sound and no music of any kind. She pulled her sword out and looked around thinking she would see something. What if there were Grimm around? She had heard some Grimm contained special, evil powers but it was a story that was passed down from the ages.

"We shut our lights off," said a voice and Summer jumped.

"Wha?"

"We have too," Claire said, "It helps protect us at night."

"Oh."

"Where is your parents huh? Most are against their children doing such dangerous things."

"I have none."

Claire said nothing.

"Don't you have parents?" Summer asked.

"When they figured out my eyes were some defect, they got rid of me by the age of five."

"That's horrible."

"It's normal."

"How is that normal?"

"Even mothers with silver eyes, give up their children with silver eyes because they attract stronger more terrifying Grimm. It is said that the children can defend themselves with just their eyes but I think that is some myth. Fear rules over common sense for a lot of people but can you blame them? The child you love is cursed…. And there is nothing you can do to fix that. You do the most logical thing and let them go to protect them."

"I was alone and I vow to never allow my daughter to be alone!" Summer said feeling upset.

"I got myself…. Fixed so I couldn't produce children."

Even though Summer couldn't see her, she looked her way.

"Why?"

"I hate people. I barely like my sister because anyone I have ever loved dies and I can't allow that to happen to anyone else. People barely see me and I hate going out in the day. They all assume I'm blind and I'm fine with that. To have silver eyes, you suffer fate worse than death. To watch every one you love…. Die…. You don't make it pass that."

"Summer! We are leaving, we gotta walk out at least a mile!"

It was Raven.

"Enjoy your life while it lasts," Claire said.

"How can I?" Summer asked quietly.

How could anyone in the world enjoy their life when they were cursed to be followed by evil creatures? Her eyes stung with tears thinking of how she had been alone for so long and now she had friends but to what end? She would lose all of them in the end, so what was the point in her fighting all this time?

"Hey are you ready?" Qrow asked taking her hand.

"Y-yea."

They were back at Beacon sitting in their dorm. No one had said a word since they got back but they were all feeling the same way- like shit. That woman did a good job at making them feel like crap but Summer definitely felt worse than anyone else. She was clearly naïve and she now knew that thinking the way she had meant nothing for anyone.

Summer grabbed her blanket and pulled it over her head.

"Summer?"

She didn't answer. She ignored them and went to sleep.

The next morning, she woke up and headed to the bathroom. Everyone was gone already and she had a feeling they had went to class or they were in breakfast. Students who went on missions had the choice to attend school the next day whether they completed it or not. She washed her face off and headed back to her bed when the dorm door opened up. Taiyang was standing there with a surprised look on his face to see she was awake.

"Are you ok?" he asked with great concern.

"No."

"What happened when you went by yourself?" he asked sitting on her bed.

Summer sat beside of him.

"I never realized how bad I am until we went there."

"Summer, you aren't evil-

"But these eyes are!" she cried, tears already forming in her eyes, "They attract evil things and hurt people I care about."

"Now, who told you that-

"Why do you think I've been alone all this time!" she cried.

"Summer…"

"What if I end up having a kid with silver eyes?! People are gonna hate me and my child and we will be run out of town! We will never have a normal life-

Taiyang snorted, "Then we start by making our own village! Then we allow people who need a place when they're outcast to live there with us in our village! Your silver eyed kids can live there in peace and we protect the place!"

Summer busted up laughing.

"I'm serious!" he said but started laughing too.

"You think we could do that?" she asked once she stopped laughing.

"I think we can do anything we want."

Summer smiled sadly at him, "That's if we make it."

"As long as we stay together…. We'll be ok."

Taiyang pulled her into an embrace, "Never be afraid Summer. You have three great friends with you."

A few hours later Summer was outside under the tree reading her book: Dangerous Hearts. She was enjoying the warm sunlight when a shadow over came her. It looked like Qrow but she didn't want to look up. She felt like a bad person for ignoring them last night but she didn't want to talk when she was that upset.

"Summer."

Qrow sat down in front of her and slowly took the book from her hands.

"Qrow."

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine now."

"Are you sure?" he asked.

She nodded.

"Did that woman upset you?" Qrow asked.

"Yes, but what she said is true."

"How-

"Cause, it is. I am weak."

"Listen, you aren't as old as she is so she's going to think that way. You are strong. You are brave. You made it out there all by yourself for a long time. No one can tell you otherwise. You made it when no one else could and your semblance is a fucking force of nature. It was scary when I first saw it to be honest."

Summer blushed, "They're just roses."

Qrow snorted, "That's what you say but I saw different."

Summer giggled.

"I love you Summer Rose."

Summer's face turned red.

"You don't have to say it back. I've been in love with you for a while. I can wait."

"You're so sweet when I thought you were a jerk at first."

Qrow frowned at her, "That's what you thought of me?"

"You hardly ever smiled, what was I supposed to think?" she said laughing.

"Thanks a lot."

Summer placed a hand on his cheek, "You're welcome."

"Wait what?"

"You heard me boy."

Roman rolled his eyes, "I am pretty much down for anything but that."

"You already said you would take the job-

"Killing people with Grimm with no back up plan is not a good way to survive. I don't want to be eaten."

"Stupid boy-

"I won't go to the police but if I see your stupid horde come into town, I'm gonna start killing them if they attack me."

The man glared at him, "You're a stupid boy."

"Whatever. If you want something stolen let me know. Bye."

Roman walked out of the run down building and headed down the street. He saw the flower shop and he had been by there three times today hoping to see the Beacon girl again. He couldn't help but feel enchanted by her. She looked like an angel that had fallen from heaven to live among people.

"Hello young man."

Roman stopped and saw it was Mrs. White speaking to him.

"Hey."

"Are you looking for Summer?" she asked sweetly.

"Summer?"

"The young girl who was here the other day. The one with a white cape."

Summer.

"No, I was waiting for my boss and I was bored."

"Oh, ok. Well, sorry for bothering you."

Roman smiled at her and nodded as he walked away.

Summer. What a pretty name.

"Her name is Summer Rose if you do decide to look for her," the old woman called.

Roman stopped and looked back smiling, "Thanks ma'am."

Sorry it took so long to update. I'm such a good friend…. I bought Kitty a Blake figure since it's her favorite and then I bought my other friend who got me in RWBY, Yang since I got her Ruby last year. Then my other friend Naruto figures and a Kurumi one from Date A Live.
