Silver Eyed Blood
Chapter 14
Hey guys, hope your doing well. Now this is a backstory chapter and it goes into a pretty dark places. Enjoy it
"What are you talking about Mom? What's Ozpin done? He's done nothing but help us. Why shouldn't we trust him." Summer began to fade away. "Mom, please! I have to know. What has Ozpin done?" Summer tried to speak, but all Ruby could make out was "our family." This left Ruby with a sense of unease. What had Ozpin done to her family? Had Ozpin been behind what had happened to her and her friends? So many thoughts sprung to her head, but one thought she prayed with all her heart that she was wrong. Had Ozpin been behind her mothers death?
Weiss looked at Ruby's face, her calm breathing soothing Weiss's mood somewhat. Weiss couldn't help but think back to the day she and Ruby first meet. It had been their first day at Beacon, and Ruby had tripped over Weiss's bags. Weiss had called her out on it, with Ruby literally exploded a batch of fire Dust in her face. It had taken some time after that, but Weiss eventually warmed to the over eager red head.
Once they started dating, Weiss felt comfortable enough to tell Ruby her biggest secret. Her mother and father were related. She was the product of an incestuous relationship between her mother and father, who were brother and sister. Winter and Whitley where the same as her, hence why the Schnee semblance, their Glyphs, was a special semblance.
It had haunted her for her entire life. To make matters worse, her father said that she was going to secretly marry Whitely. "Keeps the bloodline pure" her father had said. That very same night, Weiss had packed her bag, grabbed Myrtenaster, and ran off to meet up with her friends, leaving behind the family she had hated. The only person in her family that she close to was her sister, Winter. Winter even helped them escape from their fathers personal legion.
When Weiss told Ruby, she was expecting her to leave her, like everyone else who she had told. But Ruby didn't Ruby didn't care about any of that. Ruby had been with her when her father tried to kill them both, only to be stopped by Winter. When Weiss told everyone else, they offered the same reaction.(Granted Yang was shocked to learn of her to-be sister in law, but she learned to look past it.)
And it was for that reason, Weiss knew that no matter what happened, her new family would always be there for her, which was why she stood by her girlfriend side, regardless of what she was.
Ozpin looks at a picture of himself and three others. His first ever team. Or what was more or less a team a thousand years ago. His closest friends at the time. He and his friends were the best supernatural hunters at their time, and their names were in the history books for any Huntsmen and Huntresses who trained today. Of Course, no one would recognize his name in the books. He changes it every hundred years, although he did sometimes cheat and use a past name no one had heard of in a few hundred years.
He had promised himself that he would make the world a better place, use his own curse to help everyone he could. Yet it was all for nothing. Thousands of years of hard work, now reduced to ashes as a Vampire and Siren had been born again, like the last vampire he had slain, little more then a few years ago. Ozpin wondered what the others would think? "How could I go though this again everyone? I'm not sure I can do it again."
Summer looked at her daughter, resting peacefully as she could at the moment. Although no one could see her, she had never left Ruby and Yang's side. After all, they were her daughters. She had lived most of her life with regrets, and made more then enough mistakes. Then when she enrolled at Beacon, and meet her team, for the first time in God knows how long, she felt safe. Like she could be herself without looking over her shoulder.
The one regret she still had, was that she couldn't be with Ruby now, as she went though the most difficult part of her life. "Forgive me Ruby. You asked me once if I told you everything about myself. I couldn't tell you the one thing we wanted you to know for so long. And now I can't. Only he can. When the time is right." Summer faded away, looking for her lover.
