After what happend during the dance shook Umbra to his very core. He was scared and afraid of himself. He learned quickly on hiding his emotions from RWBY and their sister team JNPR. But Omega was going to be a challenge on hiding his emotions, so Umbra avoided the other Grimm as much as possible, but not to much so Omega won't question him. Umbra also tried to avoid RWBY, he didn't want to hurt them if he suddenly turned, so Umbra stay away from them. He knew they were worried but he didn't want to hurt them, they are family and he promised he wouldn't hurt his family. Umbra suddenly had an Image of a badly injured Summer. Umbra proceeds to stare up at the night sky as a cool breeze blew by. He would do anything to keep his pact safe even if the danger was himself.

Umbra was currently sleeping on the floor of Team RWBY's room when suddenly his ears twitched when the sound of the door opening entered his ears. Umbra tensed up and tried to relaxe but he couldn't. Umbra flinched when a gentle hand landed on his head.
Umbra opened his eye's and looked up to see Blake who smiled at him before walking towards her bed. Umbra watched as the Fanuns jumped onto her bed and pulled out a book. Umbra yawned and shook his body, waking him up some more. Umbra stood up and walked towards the door.
"Umbra" The Grimm paused at the voice and turned towards the owner which was Blake who was looking at Umbra with worry. "Remember, we are there for you, please tell us when you are in trouble" Blake said with worry. Umbra stared at the human and slowly nodded, but Blake could see the hesitation in the Grimm's grey eye's. Umbra turned towards the door and left the room while Blake watched the Grimm leave with worry in her eye's.
Blake suddenly reached into her pocket and pulled out her scroll and dialed a number. Blake put the scroll to her ear and when she heard the person pick up the call the fanuns spoke.
"The target has left the room" Blake said into the scroll before ending the call and closing her book. Blake put the book away and left the room to follow the Grimm.

Yang put away her scroll and peaked around the corner to see Umbra walk out of Beacon and walk through the courtyard. Yang was quick to follow the Grimm and hide in a nearby bush. Yang then pulled out a mirror from her pocket and reflect it off the sun so it was shining at a nearby building.
*Line Break Line break Line break Line break*
Ruby saw the flash of light and took out Crescent Rose. She looked through her scope and found the Grimm walking towards the edge of Beacon. Ruby leaves her scope and looked beside her which was Weiss who had her scroll out texting someone.
*Line Break Line break Line break Line break*
June jumped when her scroll went off. She pulled it out and saw the signal. She looked over to see Omega and the rest of JNPR, who nodded at June. The group looked out the window to see Umbra at the cliff side were the students were launched off on the first day of Beacon. Omega narrowed his eye's at the other Grimm as the other gave worried looks.
*Line Break Line break Line break Line break*
Umbra looked around and sighed as he continued walking. He reached the cliff and sat down at the edge. Umbra lifted one of his paws and stared at it. Umbra blinked and he saw his paw covered in blood, he looked up and saw Summer holding a large gash on her side. Umbra went stiff when Summer's eye's locked with his. Her eye's were filled with sadness, fear and betrayal.
"Umbra, I trusted you" Summer croaked. Umbra couldn't move he only stared. Suddenly something *stepped* out off him. Umbra looked at the Grimm infront of him. It was *himself, a matching scarf but the grey eye's were long gone, instead of the calm grey they were an angry red that every Grimm has. "Umbra please don't do this, you're family" Summer said but the double continued to walk towards the wounded huntress.
Umbra could only stare before he growled and stood up. He tried to walk forward but he couldn't move his body was shaking in fear. Umbra struggled and tried to save Summer from his double, but his paws felt like cement. Umbra's eye's burned with tears as his worst nightmare came to life. Umbra watched as his double lifted it paw and ready it's claws. Summer had tears rolling down her face as she tried to reach out towards Umbra's double. Umbra's eye's flashed and he suddenly launched forward colliding with his double.
"UMBRA!" Umbra opened his eye's and he suddenly realized he wasn't on top of his double but on Ruby who looked scared at him. Umbra looked around and saw many students coming and some had their weapon's ready. Umbra looked and found Team JNPR and the rest of RWBY looking at him in shock and fear. Umbra back away from Ruby allowing the girl to stand up. Umbra wanted to reach out to her but he paused. He looked at the fear that Ruby had in her eye's along with the emotions coming off her and the others. Umbra looked down at the ground and started to shake.
"Umbra?" Ruby said cautiously trying to walk towards the Grimm but Umbra took a shakey step back. Before she speak, other students started to speak up.
"I knew we should have killed the Grimm!"
"It nearly killed the prodigy! We should kill it before it gets the other's" everyone was starting to agree while JNPR and RWBY were shocked at the other students. Omega growled at the other students who tried to get close to Umbra before looking at Umbra who was nearing the edge. Ruby looked back at Umbra and saw that he was very close to the edge not realizing he was about to fall.
"Umbra!" Ruby shouted as the Grimm slipped and fell back. Omega could only stare where the Grimm fell. RWBY and JNPR were shocked before they all heard someone fall to their knees. Everyone turned and saw Ruby starting to cry, while covering her eye's. Yang crouched down and held her sister close. Blake tried to hide it but tears slowly came down her cheek. Weiss kept a straight face but her eye's told a different story. Ruby pulled away from Yang and ran towards the edge. The reaper peaked down and didn't see the Grimm anywhere only trees which were really small showing how high up the cliff is. Ruby balled up her hands and started crying once again not wanting to believe Umbra was gone, the Grimm was stronger then that.
JNPR was no different, Omega only stood there in shock. Before he starting growling and glared at the nearby students who were pleased that the Grimm was dead. All the students who talked bad about Umbra quickly shut up at the sight of Omega glaring at them with so much hatred it practically came off of the Grimm in waves. Omega snort at them and walked closer over to JNPR.
JNPR and Omega walked up to RWBY and without a word gave each other a group hug. Ruby continued to cry as her long time friend was gone, then Ruby slowly realized she had to call her mom which only made Ruby cry even more. The other students who spoke out started to feel guilty while other's didn't care. Some students walked away while others watched the two Teams and Grimm hug as tears went down their cheeks. Yang tightened her arms around Ruby trying to comfort her sister but she knew it was futile, their long time friend just fell to his death right infront of them. There will be no body since Grimm dissolve when they die. Yang tried to stay strong for her sister but It was fooling nobody since tears were slipping down her cheeks too.

Summer was currently humming a tune that always got stuck in her head. Before a ding was heard. The huntress spun around and opened the oven. Summer slipped on some oven mitts and grabbed the hot tray. She pulled out the hot metal as the smell of fresh chocolate chip cookies filled her nose.
Summer smiled before she gasped and suddenly stiffened when a pain in her chest happened. She dropped the tray of cookies before falling to her knees. Summer felt the tears building up when she felt the connection with Umbra slip away very slowly. Summer could only hold her breath as her body shook violently.
Summer reached for her scroll and was about to call her daughter but it appears Ruby was already trying to call her. Summer slowly answer the call and when she put the scroll to her ears, Summer heard her daughter sniffling trying not to cry.
"M-m-mom" Ruby stuttered as Summer tried to focus on Ruby voices. She knew something bad happened and she hope it wasn't anything tragic. Summer stood up and wobbled over to the door frame leading out of the kitchen.
"Y-yes Sweety" Summer reached up and touched her chest. The connection with Umbra was still there but it somehow dimmed and this worried the huntress.
"U-u-umbra is..." Ruby stopped talking and started crying. "Dead" Summer felt her heart stop as she dropped her scroll, the world was at a stand still before it all came crashing down on Summer. The silver eyed huntress stumbled back and collided with a wall. Summer slid down the wall as she only stared ahead at nothing. Summer felt so frail at the moment as the image of Umbra and her spending great times together. Summer slowly curled up into a ball and started crying. But she had a bit of faith that Umbra was out there running... trying to survive. Summer stood up and raced to her room.
The huntress enters the master bedroom and carries a bag to carry some food and clothes. After Summer packed everything she was about to leave but stopped when she heard the front door open.
"Summer?" The voice of Summer's husband was heard. Summer tuned him out and walked towards the window. The huntress opened the window and jumped out. Summer landed with a thud and took off in search for Umbra, her friend and companion. Summer reached into her cloak and pulled out her old weapon which Qrow retrieved for her. Summer pressed a button and the blades popped out. She narrowed her eye's and followed the faint connection that she had with Umbra.

Umbra awoke with a large headache and tried to open his eye's but couldn't. Umbra groans and slowly stood up, he then proceeded to rub his eyes which allowed them to open slightly. His vision was blurry with a bit of ringing was heard. Umbra shook his head and sat there for a few minutes trying to regain his senses.
After a while his vision cleared up and the rining was gone, but his body still ached in pain. Umbra closed his eyes before a spark a pain in his heart happened when he saw the betrayed look in Ruby's eye's flash through his mind. Umbra felt the tears build up before they slowly started to go down his mask. He didn't mean to attack Ruby, it just happened. Umbra stood to his full height and looked around. He was in the Emerald Forest, but it was pretty dense so he couldn't really see that far. Umbra looked up at the cliff side, surprised that he survived the fall, guess his aura saved him.
Umbra turned towards the forest and started walking but stopped. He reached up to his neck and felt the scarf that he wore all the time. But sadly he didn't feel the right to wear it, not after what he just did. Umbra gently pulled off the scarf and put it down on the ground. He looked at the scarf before walking away, knowing full well he wasn't welcomed at Beacon anymore. He was dangerous and he swore to keep his pact safe, even if it was himself.

Ozpina was enjoying a nice cup of coffee before hearing the elevator open and Goodwitch storm into the room. Ozpina didn't pay it much before her coffee cup was covered in a purple hue and was thrown across the room. Ozpina calmly turned towards Glynda who looked ready to burst with anger.
"Yes Glynda." Ozpina said calmly. Goodwitch pulled out a tablet and hovered it over to Ozpina who grabbed it. She saw it was a video of the court yard. Ozpina pressed play and watched as the leader of RWBY approached Umbra which reminded Ozpina of the video Summer showed her but happened next shocked her.
Umbra spun around with his eye's being dark red. He growled at Ruby who held her hands up but Umbra stood up and lunged at Ruby who barely dodged the attack. Umbra continued his relentless assault. Yang tried to restrain the Grimm but the Beowulf simply knocked her back. Umbra glared in Ruby's direction and lunged forward.
"UMBRA!" Ozpina paused the video and stoically looked a Glynda. She knew Glynda hated the Grimm it was plain obvious.
"That Grimm attacked Miss, Rose without warning, this shows us that the other Grimm will turn on Team JNPR eventually, I say we-
"Enough" Ozpina said quietly as she stood up and looked out the large window. "You may go" the headmistress said while placing her coffee down. Glynda didn't say anything only stare at the grey haired women.
"What about the Grimm?" Glynda flinched when Ozpina looked at her.
"You. May. Go" Ozpina said slowly. "Unlike you I have faith in Omega that he won't attack JNPR." Glynda frowned and left the room. Ozpina stared out the window before grabbing her scroll and started to call someone. The scroll continued to ring for a while before someone finally answered. "Summer?" There was silence before a familiar voice spoke into the scroll.
"Summer's gone" Ozpina froze at what she heard from Taiyang, Ozpina closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "All I saw were a tray of cookies on the ground and her scroll, when I went to check our room, some of her clothes were missing along with some food" Ozpina knew Summer ran away, but she knew why. Ozpina glanced down at the tablet which held a frame of Umbra about to fall off the cliff.
Ozpina quietly ended the call and started to call someone else. The scroll ringed for a bit before someone picked up the scroll.
"Hey, Ozpina do you need something?" The voice of Qrow said with a slight slur.
"Qrow... Summer had ran away and I need you to find her." There was silence before a bit of movement was heard.
"Ask Umbra, those two hold a connection that is practically unbreakable, Umbra should know where she is." Qrow was about to end the call but froze by what Ozpina said next.
"Umbra is dead, we don't know for sure if he is truly gone but he fell from the cliff side and anyone can die from that height even with Arua, but you're the best tracker we know" Ozpina didn't get to finish when the call suddenly ended. Ozpina looked at her scroll and sighed. She looked at the steamy mug of coffee and pushed it aside the taste left in her mouth felt bitter.
*Line Break Line break Line break Line break*
Qrow stared at his scroll for the longest time, Qrow reached into his vest and pulled out a photo which had a few people on it. The background had a single tree on top of a hill.
Umbra was in the picture laying down but on top of him was a younger Ruby and Yang who had giant smiles on their faces. Next to them was Summer who was sitting down and leaning on the BeoWulf. On the other side was Qrow who had his sword on his should as he gave the camera a slight smile. Next to Qrow was Taiyang who had hand on Qrow's shoulder.
Qrow tightened his grip on the photo and he took a shakey breath. He didn't believe Ozpina words when she said Umbra fell to his death, he knew the Grimm was alive and he knew Summer was looking for the Grimm. Qrow stood up and dropped some money on the table before leaving the bar.

Umbra walked through the forest his mind filled with many thoughts but most of them were on a certain huntress with a white cloak. Umbra lowered his head in shame, he didn't know what he was doing, he just... Umbra stopped moving and sat down. He lifted a paw to his face and looked at it. Then an image of Ruby and her terrified face appeared before him.
Umbra shook his head and growled. He stood up and walked over to a pond. Umbra looked at his reflection and glared at it. He hated himself, he hated what he did, then he remembered.
The ghostly Image that appeared in front of him during the dance.
"You will never be able to keep them all safe" The Dark voice said echoing in his head. Umbra ran up to a tree and banged his head against. Umbra roared in pain and sat down. Umbra opened his eye's and started up at the night sky. Umbra continued to stare before curling up and started to silently whimper.
He missed them, but he was a danger to them and he didn't want to hurt anybody else. Umbra looked at the moon before he closed his eyes and tried to sleep.
*Line Break Line break Line break Line break*
Umbra groaned and started to move around trying to get comfortable again and fall asleep but he couldn't. Umbra took a deep breath and realized he was in a whole different area. Umbra opened his eye's and sighed, he was back in the land of Roses.
Umbra stood up and looked around. He was on top of the hill with the cherry blossom tree the atmosphere felt different, it wasn't calm of peaceful, it felt tense and the smell of roses made Umbra sick to his stomach. Umbra closed his eyes before he tensed up when he heard the footsteps, he knew who it was and he didn't want to see the look of disappointment on her face.
Umbra was about to run but he was tackled to the floor by a white blur. He felt two warm slender arms wrap around his neck as the person hugged him tightly, nearly chocking the poor Grimm to death.
"Umbra!" Summer cried as she kept a firm grip on the Grimm. Umbra wanted to push her away but having her near him was enough to keep him stable. So he kept her close and hugged back, wrapping a arm around her too.
"Summer" Umbra said but was bonked on the head by a teary eyed Summer. She didn't want to hear his excuses, she was just glad that he was alive, but something felt different about him.
"Umbra, what happened while I was gone? Ruby called me crying her eye's out telling me that you fell on the cliff near Beacon." Umbra stayed quiet and gently pushed Summer away even though he wants her as close as possible.
"Summer, I..." Umbra couldn't bring himself too say it, Ruby never told Summer what he did, and he was scared to find out what she would do if he told her.
"Umbra, please tell me what's wrong, remember that I am here for you" Summer tried getting closer to the BeoWulf but the Grimm took a step back.
Umbra felt the tears building up and he looked away not wanting to see her face.
"I attacked Ruby!" Umbra shouted as the tears started to fall. There was silence but Umbra continued. "I didn't mean to attack her, something is messing with my head and it caused me to lash out at Ruby" Umbra sat down and chocked back a sob. "I'm scared Summer, *She* is trying to get me, she wants be back in her ranks, but I don't want to leave you, *she* keeps screwing with my head causing me to see thing that would be considered my worst Nightmare and that's losing everyone I loved and cared for." Umbra growled at himself as he continued talking. "I don't want to lose you Summer not after everything you gave me, what I have experienced and what I saw. It's something I don't just throw away, I-"
Umbra was cut off from Summer rushing forward and slamming into him, wrapping her arms around his neck as they both tumbled down the hill. Umbra flinched when his back hit the ground as rose pedals fell around them. He shook his head and looked up at Summer who was on his chest looking down at him with a glare causing him to shrink.
"Shut up" Summer mumbled as she wrap her arms around his neck again causing Umbra to feel the familiar feeling whenever he is near Summer. "I don't care about what you said, your still Umbra and it wasn't you who attacked Ruby it was that bitch who did this" Umbra flinched again and closed his eyes. The Grimm wrap his arms around Summer and hugged her.
Both of their auras came to life, molding together but something was different about Umbra's arua. His arua used to have more of a white glow but now it was mostly black with a little bit of white. Both of them didn't notice the difference since it died down a second later.
Summer got off of Umbra and stood up. Umbra got on his paws and stood up as well. Summer closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Umbra I don't want you to walk away like last time because of Salem" Umbra winced at the name it always brought goosebumps whenever he heard it. "So I'm going to join you, and don't even think about changing my mind, plus we really didn't spend a lot of time together" Summer mumbled the last bit which made Umbra smile. Summer and Umbra look into each other's eyes and gave each other one last hug before they woke up.
*Line Break Line break Line break Line break*
Umbra awoke to a soft breeze brushing against his fur. Umbra opened his eyes as the sun was high in the air. Umbra looked around the area before standing up.
The Beowulf closed his eyes and concentrated. His arua pulsed as he tried to find Summer. Everything went quiet as the Grimm focused on his arua. After a few minutes Umbra felt a pull causing the Grimm to open his eyes and begin to run. Umbra felt himself become lighter as his armor sinked into his body, leaving only his mask. Umbra's eyes changed from silver to a dark purple. Umbra suddenly vanished. The only sign that he was there was the trees being pushed one direction by a strong wind current and a dust cloud in the distance getting smaller by the second.
*Line Break Line break Line break Line break*
Qrow looked around the area where supposedly Umbra died. The old hunter looked around before he spotted something that stuck out from all the green in the area.
Qrow walked towards it and pushed aside a few bushes before he found the item. Qrow frowned and reached down. He grabbed the object and lifted it up. It was Umbra's scarf. Qrow looked back at the crater that was made when Umbra landed. But the scarf was a pretty far distance away.
Qrow neatly folded the scarf and put it in his vest. Qrow looked around the area and found paw prints. It could have been any Grimm but these paw prints were different. They were not to deep into the ground meaning the Beowulf was trying to sneak around and Beowulf are usually in a pact and don't sneak around. So it all points to a certain Grimm with grey eyes.
"Gotcha" Qrow muttered as he stood up and began following the tracks. After a while he found that the paw prints start to separate themselves meaning that Umbra started running and fast by the looks of how the paw prints started to sink deep into the ground.
Qrow narrowed his eyes and started to follow the tracks knowing full well that if he followed Umbra he will also find Summer. The hunter began to run through the forest pushing past the bushes while dodging the trees. The wind whistles in his ears and pressed against his face before suddenly the hunter disappeared and a normal looking Qrow took his place. The bird started to go in the air and follow the path knowing that Umbra was heading in a straight line.

Ruby was currently on her bed holding her pillow while Zewi was next to her trying to comfort the huntress in training. Ruby peaked over her bed to look at a spot a certain Grimm sleeped at all the time. Ruby wanted to cry but all her tears were gone, only the pain in her heart was left. Ruby felt Zewi sit beside her, looking at the same spot Ruby was looking at. Zewi too missed Umbra even if he attacked Ruby.
Zewi could tell something was wrong when Umbra attacked, something was controlling the Grimm cause the little corgi could sense it. He felt Umbra was still in there, he was just trapped. Zewi snuggled close to Ruby while the young huntress hugged the small dog close enjoying the soft fur and warmth Zewi gave off which somewhat counter the cold feeling that surrounded the small girl.

Yang was in Beacon's gym. She was currently using a punching bag, but the way Yang was punching it is scaring the people around her since she was also giving off an intense heat. Most of the guys would be staring at Yang cause of her choice of clothing, but right now Yang would glare at any guy that even looked in her direction. She wasn't in the mood to be stared at.
Yang screamed and punched at the bag causing it to break open pouring all the sand to the ground. Yang's breathing was raged as she tried to control her anger, but the way the other students were saying how glad that the Grimm was gone which caused the blond huntress to get really fired up. She was ready to punch the next student that said anything bad about Umbra. Yang looked around and saw that the gym was now empty which she was glad since she still wanted to burn off more steam.

Blake was in the library quietly reading... or trying to read. Her mind kept wondering which caused her to read the page over again. Blake looked around and saw some of the guys looking at her which caused her to frown, she would normally ignore it, but right now it was bothering her. Blake lowered her book and closed her eyes. Her mind wandered to the part Umbra falling off the cliff. She felt her cat ears fold under her bow. Then another memorie of Umbra who risked coming to Vale to help search for her.
Blake quietly stood up and left the library which got many disappointing groans from the guys which got glares from all of the girls in the library.

Weiss was walking around Beacon trying to clear her head. She knew that Umbra was going to attack, she should rub it in their faces and prove that she was right... but why did it hurt? Weiss then remembers the angry look Team JNPR and the other members of her team gave her after insulting the Grimm. They all enjoyed being in Umbra's company.
Weiss closed her eyes and sighed, she would have admit being near Umbra cheered her up and have fun which she really didn't have growing up. Weiss looked out a window at the night sky and sighed. She remembered Umbra forgiving her but can she ever forgive herself after how rude she has been to the residents Grimm. Weiss looked down the hall and saw a heavily armored Grimm walking towards her. Weiss tensed up as Omega stopped infront of her. The armored Grimm didn't growl or give her a glare. The Beowulf simply lowered his head and walked past Weiss without much of a glance.
Weiss turned around and watched the Grimm turn a corner and vanish from sight. Weiss could only stare at where the Grimm vanish before shaking her head. She really thought the Grimm would attack her. Weiss continued walking down the hall but her mind going towards a certain Grimm that always slept in her Teams dorm.

Umbra was like the wind, running with all his might, he was following his connection to Summer trying to reach the huntress as fast as possible. Umbra lunged forward and sliced off a Ursas head before he continued his run. Umbra felt him absorbing the Ursa but pushed aside the feeling of his strength growing.
Umbra slides to a halt, breathing heavily. He had no clue how long he's been been running for but he know it was a long run. It was mid day when he started to run. Now it was midnight with the moon high above his head. The Grimm looked at the little town ahead of him. He could sense that Summer was in the town but couldn't pin point where. Umbra looked around and spotted someone. Umbra get low to the ground as his black fur blends in with the night.
The Grimm looked closely as he saw a single child. They were holding a shield and sword which is a very common starter weapon for many children wanting to be a hunter. Umbra got closer to the child and saw they were a female. The child looked around nervously which Umbra also sensed. The little girl looked at forest and harden her stare which surprised Umbra a bit. The child walked into the forest and Umbra couldn't help but follow the small person.
He couldn't leave the child to defend for herself. Umbra watched as the girl walked deeper in the forest before finally tripping over a rock. The girl yelped and held her scraped knee. When suddenly a deep growl was heard. Umbra tensed up at the sound. It sounded familiar to him. The girl stopped and slowly turned towards the sound and out came a Grimm that made Umbra silently whimper. It was a Ursa but this Ursa looked a lot meaner and bigger. It's armored looked as tough as a death stalker and it hide looked just as tough.
The small child could only cry as the Ursa approached her. Umbra could only stare, he was scared to move, this is one of the few Grimm that Umbra knew in his past, it was when *she* created him along with a few others, but they were special. She gave them all names, which is something that most Grimm see as a high honor. Umbra was not his real name his old name is something he wished to forget and not remember, but after seeing this Grimm the name just echoes in his head like a broken record.
Bishop
Umbra looked at the Ursa and another name came in his head. It was a name that the Ursa used.
Rook
Umbra was shaking in fear, he never wanted to go back, he liked his new life, but at the same time... he would gladly defend his home and those he love. Umbra felt his eyes shift as armor grew on his body. The armor were covered in spikes as his eyes were no longer the calming grey color but a pitch black.
Umbra stepped out causing the two to look at him. The girl got even more pale if possible. Her eyes were filled with tears as she curled up into a ball.
"Rook" Umbra said looked at the Ursa trying not to show any fear.
"Bishop" the Ursa named Rook said which got Umbra to flinch. Both Grimm had a stare down as the girl opened her eyes and looked between them. She heard them growl at each other but that was it. "You have a lot of balls to come here, the queen told us what you did now she wants your head, or we could try to knock you out and get you back on our side" Rook said as Umbra growled at him.
"I would never turn my back on those I love" Umbra took a step forward as the small girl shut her eyes but heard a thud next to her head. She opened her eyes and saw the Beowulf covering her body with it's own, protecting her. "And I won't let you get a single paw on this girl" Umbra said showing his teeth while Rook kept a straight face. Rook stared at Umbra for a good minute before chuckling.
"You really have changed" Rook turned around and started to walk away. "I let you live this one time Bishop, but next time, I won't let you go" before the Ursa could leave the area he heard the Beowulf growl.
"The name is Umbra, not Bishop" The Grimm growled. Rook looked at the other Grimm and left the area. Umbra sighed glad he didn't have to fight the Ursa. Umbra took a step back as the girl slowly sat up. She looked at the Grimm in front of her and knew he was a Alpha. The girl looked around for apparently other Beowulf to show but none showed up. The girl shivered as a cold breeze blew by.
Umbra already changed his appearance making him look less intimidating. His pitch black eyes were now his friendly light grey while his armor smoothed out showing no spikes. The girl looked back and jumped when she looked at Beowulf.
The Grimm got closer to the girl as she looked up at him with curious eyes. The Grimm sat down and brought the girl close to his chest, which was just fur. The small girl squeaks making Umbra chuckle. The girl was extremely tense but after a while she stared to relax and rest on the Grimm's chest.
The girl was surprised at how gentle the BeoWulf was and how soft his fur was. She was always told that the Beowulf's fur was rough and spiky, but this Beowulf has soft and smooth fur which made the girl sleepy. The small girl yawned and fell asleep. Umbra looked down at the small girl and smiled in his head. Suddenly he heard giggling behind him.
"I was sent out to look for a small girl, but instead I run into the small girl AND somebody I was looking" Umbra turned towards the voice and saw Summer with her weapon ready. The huntress deactivated her weapon and walked up to the Duo. She gushed at the sight of the little girl hugging Umbra. The Grimm rolled his eyes as Summer picked up the small girl and started to carry her. "Well? Come on somebody needs to be returned home and your coming into town with me" Summer said causing Umbra to stumble. The Grimm gave the huntress a look of disbelief but Summer continued walking. The Grimm huffed and armor grew on his stomach before he started to follow Summer, not at all noticing the pair of red eyes watching them.
Umbra nervously stepped into town as Summer hummed a tune which eased his nerves a bit. Most of the town people ran into there homes at the sight of Umbra some stayed out since they saw Summer and were grabbing their weapons which were very crude since they were farming tools. Summer looked around and expected this would happen. So she continued to walk towards a small house before knocking on the door. A women opened the door and gasped when she saw the Beowulf behind Summer. The women was about to slam the door shut but saw the sleeping small girl in Summer's arms.
"Amy!" The women shouted in happiness as she scooped up the girl into her arms, waking up her up.
"Mommy!" The girl hugged her mom which got the Grimm and huntress to smile at scene. The women looked up at the huntress as she continued to hug her daughter.
"Thank you for getting my daughter" the women said as Summer smiled but shook her head.
"Actually it wasn't me who saved your daughter" The women was confused and looked behind Summer to look at the Grimm which had grey eyes.
"The Grimm saved my daughter?" The Grimm in question shyly hid behind Summer as the huntress nodded.
"It's true mommy, the Grimm saved me from a big bear." The small girl said getting out of her mother's grip and jumping on the Grimm face which caused the mother to freak out. Other people in the village were watching the Grimm very closely while other children were watching curiously. Umbra sat down as the girl climbed onto his back and started giggling.
Summer was laughing as the mother watched nervously. Some of the towns people who were caring weapons, lowered them when they saw the Grimm not attacking the small girl. Umbra tried to grab the girl but couldn't since she was moving around a lot. Summer finally decided to help and pull Amy off his back which got a whine from her.
"So, is the Grimm your pet?" One of the towns people asked which caused the Grimm to growl. Summer sighed and scratched the Grimm's head.
"No he is not, he is my friend and companion" Summer said as Umbra rub his head against her.
"Mans best friend" Umbra heard a villager say as he separated from Summer. The Grimm watched as the mother of Amy walked up to him and bowed her head a bit.
"Thank you for saving my daughter, if it weren't for you I wouldn't be able to see her again." The women said as Umbra bowed as well which surprised the village.
["There is no need for thanks, I did cause it was the right thing to do"] Umbra said, but all they heard was a low growl. Both of them stood up straight as Summer pat his back. Umbra looked at Summer and nodded.
"Well we would love to stay but we have places to be" Summer said as some of the villages groaned, which was mostly the men and children. Summer started to walk away with the Grimm right behind her. Umbra looked back at Amy and waved which got the girl to wave back. Umbra turned back and jogged up to Summer and walked beside her.

The villagers were watching them leave, a Grimm and huntress side by side walking out into the dark night. Amy was waving like crazy as she then shouted loud enough for the Silver eyed Grimm to hear.
"Bye Wolfy!"
