Chapter 4 So that's how it is

"Salem can't be killed... you all heard her too, right?" Yang asked as they all turned to Ozpin, I tried to steady my shaking breath.

"I-" He begun.

"There was so much you hadn't told us! How could you think that was okay?!" Yang screamed at him, I let my head hang as I felt the tears form in my eyes, I had felt betrayed before but not like this... This man I had put so much trust into...

"Professor... What is your plan to defeat Salem?" Ruby asked.

"I... don't have one..." I turned to face him when I heard his body collide with a tree, tears streaked my cheeks, my ears flattened against my skull.

"No one wanted me... I was cursed... I gave my life to you because you gave me a place in this world... I thought I was finally doing some good..." Qrow said but Ozpin's eyes were focused on me.

"Silver?" He said as I pushed past Qrow.

"You gave me a home... You gave me a purpose... you could have thrown me to the wolves after I lost my mind to the red haze so many times... I'm done, have fun with the others." I told them as I let the first one out of their gates.

(Ice's POV)
Silver just seemed to break down before our eyes, her hands curling into fists, teeth grinding against each other. A burning red light of hate coming from her once clear blue eyes. Red Silver or as she dubbed them Wrath, was free.

Wrath yelled in anger, she charged and grabbed Ozpin slamming him hard against the tree.

"You hurt Silver! She trusted you with her life!" They screamed before tagging out, the eyes turned from burning red to calm yellow, Logic was here.

"Do you think that she will ever trust you again?!" Logic snapped.

"Give us one good reason to leave your throat intact!" Instinct the green Silver snarled.

"Or to leave the skin on your body!" Ink cried out blackened tears dripping down her face.

"Your soul reeks of Guilt, stained with the blood of innocent people you had a hand in training and sending to their deaths!" Venge the fiery Silver growled at him.

"That's enough!" I yelled, Venge turned to look at me and bared her teeth.

"Fine..." Was all she said, dropping him and marching off into the wilderness.

"Do NOT follow us..."

Marching through the snow Venge just disappeared.

(Silver's POV)

"It's okay Silver, we're all hurting, go ahead and let it out." Venge sighed pulling our knees up to our chest and crossing our arms on our knees, with that I broke down, it was strange to just cry inside while another being kept us alert and ready in case of the Grimm hearing me.

I have no idea how long I spent out there but by time I was calmer I realised I had been given back control, the sobbing caught in my throat and the tears continued to fall I felt the horrific chill I tried my best to keep it inside but my cries escaped anyway.

There was a loud bang that shocked me enough to look up. It was Ice, I only scowled and wiped my tears on my sleeve not speaking a word to him.

"I'm sure this has come to a shock to you but remember you're immortal too, if it's possible for you then Salem being immortal came as no surprise to me." He sighed giving me a glare to match his name as he holstered the gun.

"Fuck off... I was lied to, Oz was like a father to me and he lied to me... to us for fuck sake, do you really think this shit is even worth it anymore?" I growled at him.

"If we can save those who need us then I believe so, I don't give a shit if we can't beat Salem anymore, our job is to protect people, if you give up now think about how many people could die that we could've saved!" He yelled at me.

"Shut up! DO you fucking hear yourself? How the fuck are we supposed to protect people when one: The Grimm have a leader. Two: The kingdoms are on the brink of war. Three: Humans are blaming Faunus, not just the White Fang but ALL Faunus including us for what happened at Beacon and Haven. Finally, four: Ozpin, the man we once would happily fight a war for, told us he doesn't have a fucking plan AND LEFT US!" I screamed right back, getting on my feet tears streaming down my face again.

"For starters, you haven't read the news about how the Faunus stopped an attack in Haven and had been praised for doing so, The Grimm has a leader, same as us Huntsman we have leaders too. Immortal? Lock em up for eternity! Plus, just because Oz left us doesn't mean we have no purpose anymore we become our own leaders now and if you can't do that then look for someone else to rely on!" Ice told me trying his best to put confidence back into me.

"Ice... Just... leave me alone... I don't want to hear it." I whimpered going back down to curl up in the snow again.

"Come on, it's cold and right now we need to find shelter for everyone, can't have them freezing to death, we can continue this later" He sighed patting my shoulder, I sighed and got up and followed with a couple of feet of distance between us.

"Oh, good you found her." Cole said but there was a silence as he noticed I wasn't really looking up. Neo crashed into me her eyes wet with tears as she gripped my jacket. We returned to the train crash and I saw a tire track, probably from Yang's bike, and hoof tracks from Grimmgash.

We followed the tracks soon catching up with team RWBY in front of a metal gate looking up at a sign saying "Brunswick Farm" I stepped up beside them.

"Well, at least one good thing happened today." Blake said.

"It looks abandoned." Weiss replied.

"It's still better than this." Said Ruby.

"Come on, I think we could all use some rest." Qrow said holding the gate open for us.

As I walked past, he grabbed my shoulder.

"You feeling alright? You kinda lost it back there, and you look a little paler even now."

"Yeah I'm fine, just need some food and sleep." I told him walking by.

I heard the gate close behind us.

I reached a hand into my pocket and felt the velvet box I was keeping in there. I looked to Neo and swallowed.
