Settle down, watchers of the verse. I've taken over for my brother who had one too many bottles of whiskey. Last we left, Winter managed to blow up Adam and Ilia with an old frag grenade…and we continue from there. Might as well drink this bottle of whiskey.
Winter got to the parking lot and hastily got the trunk open to find a tied up Weiss. She had been snatched right out of bed and just in her sleepwear and robe. Winter sliced off the bindings and gag only to get hugged by her sister.
"Winter, what happened?! I heard…" Weiss said only for Winter to say, "Don't worry…they aren't an issue anymore."
Weiss just wanted to go home and, after everything, so did Winter. The two piled in the car and returned home to find the place empty. Winter went in first with Weiss behind. Coming home should have been a relief, but it really wasn't as the place was wrecked.
"Klein…" Weiss said out in a near whisper.
"Mistress Winter….welcome home." The esteemed butler said coming out of a dark corner.
His knuckles were covered in blood and he looked roughed up beyond what Weiss was comfortable with it.
For Winter, it was expected. With her father neglectful and her mother unavailable sometimes, Klein had taught Winter plenty of things. Namely combat and tactics…fitting for he was a member of MI6.
"Weiss, do not worry. I am mostly fine, but I can't say the same for Whitley." Klein said bitterly.
"And what about mother and father?" Weiss asked.
"Your mother had a bit of hangover and was sleeping in off in a hotel across town. Your father was dragged off by the White Fang. Don't know what happened to him and right now, it doesn't matter. You two need to get out of here…they'll be back sooner." Klein said firmly.
"But what about you?" Weiss asked worriedly.
"I'll be fine. Someone needs to report this to the authorities. Last thing you two need is to be dragged into it." He said gently assuring Weiss.
"Thankfully, I didn't unpack." Winter said dryly finding her suitcase still at the door.
Winter and Weiss had escaped with their lives. Police were called shortly after leading to a large chunk of the White Fang's gang arrested. Turns out Jaccques was having a bit of an affair with Sienna, the leader of the mafia. The two had ended up faking this whole thing with the intent of starting over. As far as everyone knew, Jaccques had been axed and Sienna vanished leaving the Schnee family in pieces.
Fall had come and Winter was driving Weiss to her first year of university. The two were basically on their own considering their mother was still…an alcoholic. However, having Winter and Klein around gave Weiss someone to rely on.
What? You wanted a happier ending. Well I expected a bigger paycheck. Yeah, the Schnees are still together…not like matters. The end…my job is done. Now where's my fucking check?!
(A/N: They can't all be happy, but hey at least the sisters are safe. So there's yet. Either way, this will be the last of the Plenty Ways to Die streak. I did say I was going to five, but I decided to hold off of it for a while to focus on some other projects. I will however reveal that the final Plenty Way to Die is going to Emerald and Mercury themed and decided to a good friend of mine. Moving on, to celebrate this fanfiction smashing past 200k, you all will be getting RWBY Unlimited: Path of Shadows. A pilot will be coming soon.)
(A/N (2): I also want to thank you all for getting me to 200k views. Despite this, my other fanfiction hasn't even cracked 100k yet (two are close, the rest are below 50k), so go give them some love. The goal for getting a TVtropes page for one of my works in still alive!)
