I forgot to mention in chapter 10, Elizabeth is 60 years old. Don't blame me for not putting in that detail.

Chapter 11:

November 15th 2013

Safe house/Penthouse

Chloe POV – What Crimson said yesterday was haunting. I barely even slept last night, worrying of losing Max again.

Right now, Rachel and I was playing with the telescope to mock people. I forgot how fun it is do that.

We saw two cat faunuses walking down one street chit chatting with one another.

"Dogs are such bitches" Rachel mocked. "I would give one up in a snap in of a finger if I ever own one." Rachel chuckle.

"I know, right?" I mocked. "I would easily hit one with my scratching post." We brushed out laughing.

"You two are such animals." Vicky said and we stared at her. "Because you act like dogs." The three of us laugh even harder.

"You know those jokes are basically racist, right?" Kate said with an awkward tune, sitting next to Dana.

Three the three of us suddenly realized it is racist and we fell silence, staring at each other.

"Hey" To our relieve, Crimson called from the middle of the stairs. "Has anyone seen Max?" She asked and we all stared at her.

"Isn't she in her room?" Dana asked.

"I checked her room, but she not there." Crimson answered.

"Max is gone?" Victoria said wide eyed

"Not only Max is missing, but my pistol as well." Crimson said.

"I don't understand. Where would she go?" Kate asked.

Crimson POV – I put deep thought in that question. I think about the talk we had yesterday, about my sister, about her power, and…my semblance.

"Wait" I got everyone attention. "Did we ever had a talk about semblances?" I asked.

"No" Kate answered.

"No, unleased I wasn't listening" Victoria answered.

"I don't even know what that means" Dana.

"I don't think anything about it" Rachel.

"I never opened my mouth about it" Chloe.

I thought hard on how she knew what a semblance is and it hit me.

'Max used her power to jump time back and if she did jump back then that means something is about to happen'

"I think might know where to find Max" I said.

…

Vital Festival campgrounds

Emerald POV – Dammit Mercury, where are you. I searched almost everywhere on the campgrounds, but I couldn't find him.

'Where could he possibly…'

"Hey, Emerald" All the sudden a girl grabbed me by my waste with one arm and the other holding my arm over her neck. "Can I talk to you for a second?" The girl said quickly, then I realize that it was Sara Winston forcing me to move forward alongside her.

We went into an empty tent, then Sara threw me against a wall and pointed an Atlas model pistol at my stomach.

"You have some serious explaining to do." Sara said with a frown.

"What the hell you think you doing?" I asked with frustration.

"I know what you're about to do in the next match." She said and I froze with fear. "And I know what your semblance is. You were going to make Yang see Mercury attacking as no one does." Sara explained

Before her reaction, I kick the gun out of her hand with my left foot. I grabbed her by both her arm, which she was using to hold the gun, and the back of her hoody. I threw her at the same wall that she threw me at. I had my weapon in blade form at the ready.

"Alright, time to die." I said and I stabbed where her head was at, but she disappeared out of thin air before the blade could hit her.

"What?" I said out loud.

Sara, out of nowhere, grabbed and held my hand behind my back, and pushed me against the wall with the point of her gun.

"Back to square one, again." Sara mocked.

'This girl is now pissing me off'

"Don't think I don't know about the match after that." She said.

"How do you even know what's coming if you hadn't even seem them coming yet?" I asked with anger.

"Why won't you asked your boss? I'm sure she knows the answer sense she the one who is after what I have." Sara answered.

I thought hard and the first answer had come to me.

"You name is not Sara Winston, is it?" I asked and the so called Sara took my weapon from to let go of me.

"You wouldn't happened to know exactly why she wants my power, do you?" She asked.

"I did wanted it at first." A voice answered behind her.

'Sara' turned to face the source of the voice and it was no other than…Cinder.

"When we knew the risk of having it, we decided to kill you instead." Cinder said with a smirk on her face, aiming an arrow at this 'Sara'.

Max POV – "Oh shit." I said.

Without messing around, I instantly froze the time all around me and Cinder's arrow was an inch close of cutting through my neck as it stopped in thin air.

I wasn't going to take any changes with her, so I made a rewound to that time before I grabbed Emerald.

When I stopped it was just me in the tent alone.

"Yep…definitely Crimson's sister." I said aloud. I realize that I have Emerald's weapon in my hand and I decided to drop it on the ground.

I walked out of the tent, thinking what I'm about to do next.

As I walk through the campground, I was stopped by a hand grabbing on my shoulder.

"And here I thought you went to Ozpin." A voice that I recognize was from Crimson.

"Crimson" That was the first thing I said. "About your sister."

"I know that you jumped back, Sara." Crimson said and I was surprise. "When I talked about my semblance, you respawned 'that must be a bitch'. But we never talked about a semblance, so you couldn't possibly know what it is already."

'Damn this girl is good'

"Did something happened…In the other timeline?" Crimson asked with concern.

I was quiet for a moment. "Can we go somewhere private?"

…

The other timeline

November 19th 2013

Vital Festival Tournament

I was heading into the audience stand only to cross paths with Ruby, who is still joyful like the last time I saw her.

"Hey Ruby" I greeted

"Hey Sara" Ruby greeted back.

"We never got a chance to talk about how close of a call that your team's last match was." I said.

"Well…I don't Weiss is going to be singing for a while." Ruby said and I chuckle. "Sara, if it alright to ask?"

"Of course"

"Chloe said that you were childhood friends with her, but that doesn't really explains how you know each other."

I stared at Ruby for a moment. "We never talked about what happened after that, did we?" I asked and Ruby shoke her head. "My family were about move…out of state during that time. I told Chloe after we did our last treasure hunt. I remember her telling me that we will always be together. Even we are apart, we are still…Sara and Chloe" I sighed. "Then the worse part just…had to happen."

"What happen?" Ruby asked.

"Chloe's dad…died in a car crash." Ruby gasp as she heard that. "To make it even worst, I had to move right after her father funeral and I never kept in touch with her for five years."

Ruby stood there for a moment. "I know how it feels…to lose a parent." I sharply looked at Ruby. "My mom was huntress, just like me 13 years ago. Until she went on a mission…and she just…disappeared without trace." She said with grief.

"I'm…sorry." I said.

"Don't be" Ruby said. "I think Yang got pick for the next match. Come on!" Ruby suddenly said, grabbing my arm and pulling me to the audients stands.

…

Later on

Heading into the teams dorms

I can't believe Yang did that. Why did she do that? She couldn't have got the motive to hit him like that.

I was with Crimson, Chloe, and Rachel when we ran into team RWBY, without Yang with them, in the hallway.

"Guys!" Chloe started. "What the hell happened? Is Yang okay?" She said concerned.

"Don't worry. Yang's fine" Blake assured. "She just wants to alone right now."

"Why would she even do that?" Rachel asked.

"Look" Weiss got our intention. "She said that she saw Mercury attacked her, that's all we could say." We were struck confused.

"Attacked her?" Crimson asked.

"That what Yang said, but the cameras just show her attacking Mercury." Weiss explained and Crimson stared in interest.

"You're saying that Yang saw somethings as other don't?" Crimson asked and team RWB(Y) stares at her in disapproval.

"It sounds dumb when you say it like that." Weiss said.

"No, it isn't" Crimson answered and all of us stared at her. "I remember reading something like that from a book, but I'll have get back to you once I find it."

"Wait…are you saying that you believe in Yang is incidents?" Blake asked.

"There's a 50/50 possibly that she is. What I meant to say that I don't know if Yang really is." Crimson explained.

…

November 20th 2013

A day later at the penthouse.

Crimson been at it all night. She been looking through book after book, trying to find what she is looking for. Until she give up and starting looking at the internet…wait, does the internet have a different name on Remnant?

I decided to check on her at her work space.

"Hey, Crimson" I greeted her and she nodded in respawns at her hologram computer. "How the search going?"

"I think I may have found what Weiss was talking about." Crimson said.

"What is it?"

"Someone, during that yesterday's incident, might have used his or her semblance on Yang, making her think that Mercury attacked her." Crimson said and I looked at her confused.

"What's a semblance?" I asked.

"A semblance is what Erath calls a super power. You might have saw huntsmen or huntress using them." Crimson explained. "The semblance that has been used on Yang…" Crimson turn the computer screen so I can see. "…was an illusion."

What I red from the computer is exactly what Weiss had said.

"Holy Hella…Yang is incident." I said.

"I'm going to have to run this by Ozpin." Crimson said on her way to Beacon.

…

A half an hour had passed since Crimson left and everyone was getting ready to watch the next game, except for me.

I been sitting on my bed, waiting for her come back with some answers.

My scroll got a text massage and I opened it up. It was from Emerald.

Emerald: Got something you're not telling me?

Sara: What?

Emerald: I got confronted by members of White Fang.

Emerald: They wanted to know where to find you.

Sara: And…

Emerald: May or may have not given them some broken bones and interrogated for information.

Emerald: Which I want to share with you.

Sara: …

Sara: Where you want to meet.

Emerald: Right behind your penthouse, meet me there as soon as you can.

I scroll the conversation back to the beginning and back to the end, looking for a discrepancy but didn't found one.

Seems a little off about this. It is too simple, but better see what information she has.

…

I went out to behind the penthouse, trying to find Emerald.

I called out her name, but didn't find her.

I heard steps coming behind from me. I turn around and found a lady with black hair and amber eyes, wearing a red dress with amber highlights on the arms. She was carrying a bag

She smirks at me. "Max Caulfield, is it not?" She asked.

I stared at her with pure shock, realizing that this is the girl who wants my power, kidnapped me, and do whatever she is about to do with me.

I get ready to use my power for the first time in god only knows how long.

"No point on doing on turning back time. You'll be leaving here with your life and you power." The girl reassured and I looked at her with distrust.

"Who are you and what do you?" I said with a distrustful tune.

"I, am Cinder Fall." The lady, now known as Cinder, introduced. "And I just want to talk, if it is worth 5 minutes of your life."

"Now is better than never." I said while Cinder is keeping that smirk.

"Has Crimson tell you what happened that night?"

I stared at her confused. "What night?" Cinder stared not surprised.

"She never told you, did she?" She turned her back at me.

"Told me what?" I asked while Cinder pulled something out of the bag.

"Why won't you go and ask her…" Cinder turned back toward me, holding out a device. "…or HER mother?" Her smirk turned into a frown.

As she said that, I realize that the device was the Ark.

"But how far are you willing to go to find out the truth?" Cinder asked, giving me the Ark and the bag. "If I were you…I would stay on your worthless excise of a world." She threaten me as she walk pass me.

I turned to look at her for one last time, but disappear out of thin air. I stuffed the Ark in the bag and rushed back in the penthouse.

The rest of the group was in the living room watching the tournament. But what I saw on their face was horror.

I walked over to see what happened and saw a girl torn to pieces on the hologram TV. Then screen turned red with a black chess piece on it.

"This is not a tragedy." The voice on the TV said, who recognize as Cinder's. "This was not an accident. This is what happens when you hand over your trust. You're safely. Your children. To men who claim to be our guardians. But are, in reality nothing more then men…" As the speech goes on and on, I feel nothing but terror.

Cinder threaten that she might kill me if I don't sit on the sidelines on Earth, but I refuse to let this all happened.

I pulled out a photo of Beacon tower I took while walking around the streets with Chloe and I used my power to jump back to that time.

…

The original timeline

As I got done telling the story to Chloe, Rachel, and Crimson, Chloe and Rachel were to ask something, but Crimson silence them.

"Did she meant to say that something that night she disappeared?" Crimson asked.

"I thought that you'll know." I said.

"So, what now?" Rachel asked and Crimson put her hand on Rachel's shoulder.

"We wait." Crimson said.

…

Wait…Did I went too fast on this? Welp, I don't cure. See you in the next chapter.
