Team RWBY 0.9
I wasn't sure what exactly was happening to be honest with you. All I can really remember is a blur of colors and a few sensations. Looking back now I can definitely tell you what was happening, but at the time I had no idea. When I was under I had a strange dream, sort of like someone on a bad trip would have. All I could see were blurry pinkish color blobs running around. Giant black shadows with yellow eyes, and a lush green and brown covering the landscape. To top it all off everything was not only moving in slow motion, but the world was surrounded by a low cold yellow. When I tried to stand up I couldn't for a while, but when I finally did it wasn't of my own velation. I wasn't in control of myself completely it was more like an interactive movie. I could do things sometimes, but most of the time I would move and act without my say so. The pink things started shooting and running away from me, and even though it hurt alot I never fell bled for long. I ran up to stop them, but instead started killing them. When I hit or attacked one it would just disappear after a few seconds. As the pink things became more scarce the shadows started coming after me, but the same thing that happened when I attacked the pinks happened to them too. After I don't even know how long there was nothing left besides me. I walked back to where I woke up and laid down curled up into a ball and tried to go back to sleep. Hoping that when I woke up I'd be back in my bed where I'd go back to school, get beat up, and head home to work more on my weapon. Then my parents would come home late from work and I'd show them my weapon and they'd smile at me just like normal.
By the time I had woken up it was pitch black outside, and I couldn't see anything. Everything was screaming in pain at me, my muscles, joints, even my eyes of all things. It was a struggle just to stand up. I fumbled around in the dark for a while just trying to find my weapon. It took a few minutes, but I did find it I had to use it as a walking stick just to walk around without falling. When I stepped back outside I saw there was a faint glow of orange in the distance behind the tree line. It was so cold outside that my fingers had already gone numb, and I was shaking violently. After about five more feet I tripped on something when I looked down I saw a long black trench coat. "Thank God" I said aloud as I put it on. For some reason it felt really heavy like it was made of lead or something, but I was to cold to care that much about it. As I pushed past the final section of bushes I saw a small group of about ten people surrounding a fire. When I limped forward one of the taller one's that looked to be in his early 20's spoke to me with a revolver raised. " Drop the weapon and get on your knees now!" I did as he said seeing as I couldn't put up a fight even if I wanted too in this condition. He looked back to the others for a second before lowering his gun. " Alright kid stand up, there's no use fighting anyway. We'll all be dead soon anyway" I looked up to him after picking up my weapon and asked " Why?" He sat back down next to the others and spoke. " Well for a few reasons one being the fact that those weird Grim that escaped are poisonous if they draw blood then you'll be dead at in the morning at best. Most of us have already been injured by those, and as for the rest well. From what I can gather the nearest settlement is 10 miles west of here. To top it all off we're smack in the middle of Grim territory. If we live till morning the rest of us will start the walk." So this is how I'm going to die hu, in the middle of nowhere at the tender age of 12. We all just stared at the fire and one by one fell asleep. All except for me I was the last one awake and while I was tired I just kept trying to come up with a plan to get out of this alive, but every single one would fail. The odds of one of use let alone all of us getting out alive were horrible. Soon I had come to terms with my inevitable death. I reached into my pocket and pulled the file out. " Why even bother looking at it I'll be dead soon anyway so what's the point in knowing why" After saying that to the empty darkness I slowly cried myself to sleep.
For the first time in a long time I had a dream that night. I was just in empty blackness when the world began to form before my eyes. At first it was one planet and then there was an entire universe, but the weirdest part was that every few seconds the universe would flash and a slightly different one would now be before me. The only thing that remained the same was the white room I was standing in. I heard a voice behind me, but no matter how hard I tried my body wouldn't turn around. Before I woke up it said one thing. " Almost." I jumped awake as someone shook me. " Wow calm down it's just me." It was the guy from last night, and everyone else was awake as well except for three there were dirt mounds with rocks on top of them. The one's that were lucky enough to die in their sleep. The man helped me to my feet before speaking again. " I never told you my name, it's Michael, what's your's." "Ethan." I responded. " Ok then Ethan we've got a long walk ahead of us and me and you are the only two with a weapon so we're on guard duty." I picked up my sword with what felt like ease, and to top it all off I not only no longer felt any pain, I felt refreshed. All of us packed up our things and started the long dangerous walk west. I took one last look at where the facility was and asked myself. " What were you" I didn't know, but when I reached safety I would crack open the file in my pocket and find out.
