Qrow's Repentance
"You know Oz the more I think about this the more it makes me want to drink." Qrow peered into Ozpins eyes. "I understand that Qrow, but I need to know what happened in detail." Ozpin saw only sadness in his once intense eyes. "You're just trying to make me drink huh?" Ozpin cracked a small pathetic smile from his attempt at a joke. "What you do in your free time is up to you, but Qrow I need to know what happened." Qrow sighed. "Fine, but I'm only saying this once so you better record it or remember it."
Ozpin raised a brow at Qrow. "Indeed." Ozpin simply said. "Alright, it happened a week ago, Summer and I was on a recon mission on the outskirts of Vale. Not even three hours form here." Qrow pulled out a silver flask withan engraving on it. He starred at it for a good minute, with a soft smile on his face. "Summer gave this to me for are anniversary, and when she did she said, I still don't support your drinking habits, but when your drinking I want you to think of us and our future. Not what can happen just because you are around, or even what you did in the past. She really was something." Qrow ran his thumb over the engraving. Though roses have thorns their love is true, and ill love you till the day I die –Summer Rose. The engravings were smooth and the flask was hand polished. It shinned brightly like a mini sun. "She said it took her one month to finish it. She made it all by hand every part of it."
He opened up the flask and took two big gulps of the alcohol. " Ah! That hit the spot!" Ozpin glared at Qrow. "Qrow I need you to get back on topic please." Qrow stopped what he was doing and took a quick breath. "So where was I?" "It happened a week ago." Ozpin was stoic like always. "Right we went on a recon mission about a week ago. It was pretty routine just follow some guys to a meeting see what they are planning then report back to you, however things didn't turn out that way. The meeting was small just cinder her to little pawns and adam. Oh, and lets not forget all the white fang guards lying on the ground flat out. Guess you would call it more of an extortion then a meeting for adam. Though I don't know what they were after or why they were there to begin with, because as we got in range to actually make out what they were saying a pack of beowolfs came out to play. We dispatched them pretty quick between the two of us not a problem, however all the noise we made killing said beowolfs only told our targets that we were there.
And obviously we turned tail and ran knowing we couldn't afford to try and take on cinder in her current state, but something else took us by surprise someone jumped from the trees and stopped are escape from happening. He struck fast and precise at summers head with his tail. I quickly put my sword between them to prevent it hitting and I engaged him quickly, only looking back to tell her to run. Of course she didn't listen saying she wouldn't leave me behind. Are skirmish felt like it lasted hours constantly dodging making sure summer wasn't being overwhelmed and trying to find an opening to strike or run.
Then as luck would have it the battle went on for too long for me to be fighting alongside anyone I cared about. A tree fell toward summer causing her to dodge quickly without thinking about what she was doing." Ozpin observed Qrows eyes that were filling with tears. His fist was tightly clenched and resting heavily on the desk. "She dodged to get just in range of that damn bustard's tail and he took advantage of the situation to hit her with his tail. It tore into her stomach in no less than a second bringing her to her knees. I moved as quickly as I could, but before I could reach her he had stabbed her again straight through her throat." Qrow pounded his fist on Qrows desk in anger remembering the scene as clear as day. Ozpin saw how badly Qrows stress was and decided to stop it there. "Alright Qrow that's enough for now." Ozpins voice was steady and soft.
Qrows face was a mixture of both anger and sadness. He took in a deep breath and let it out. "Alright." Qrow said simply while standing up and turning toward the elevator. "So what will you do now?" Ozpin asked a slight pitch of concern in his voice. Qrow looked over his shoulder and spoke his voice filled with a calm rage. "Shouldn't that be obvious? I'm going to hunt that bastard down and kill him!" Only rage emitted around Qrow nothing else. Qrow stepped into the elevator and turned to face Ozpin. "Don't do anything you will regret later Qrow." The elevator door closed with Ozpins last words echoing inside of the small cubical.
Qrow let out a deep sigh and pulled out his flask. After taking a few quick sips from it he screwed the top back on and put it away. "This is going to be one hell of a trip." Qrow said under his breath as he walked out of the elevator. He pulled out his scroll and looked through his contacts. He stopped when he found Taiyangs name and pressed the call button. Qrow let out a sigh and put the scroll to his ear.
